Some years ago with colleagues from Birmingham I enjoyed a fine fusion of Bhangra and the Helston Furry dance. It worked a treat. Three cheers for shared culture!

[@TheIkaraCult]

Kulvinder Ghir is one of the most underrated comedy performers ever

[@wahidkhaliq4776]

Rangda Rangda I agree ☝️ he isn’t given the credit that he deserves . Still television and media the racism is rife . He’s a brilliantly talented bloke

[@Scallion_D]

I know right.

[@sumitkerai3585]

eehhh iii knewww thaaaaat

[@TheIkaraCult]

​@@wahidkhaliq4776 Not gonna deny that it may be a factor. But Sanjeev, Meera and Nina have been pretty well known after GGM. I just always thought Kurivinder had a unique talent - he's got that incredible elastic face, a bit like Lee Evans. I'm a huge fan of his

[@S.Mir786]

He was the funniest !

[@m1ke1981]

01:51 love how the music from both dancers mixes well.

[@EccentricGentelman]

I've often thought they go well together as well.

[@smelkus]

This is a hero I would like to see incorperated into the MCU

[@rpg5017]

Omg yes!!!!!❤

[@joey1723]

This made me laugh out loud, thank you 😂

[@physics77guy]

this is such a nice depiction of cultural clash between English traditional dance and punjabi's trying to make their mark with their bhangra dance... perfect

[@amem2937]

This is Awesome just wanna say I’ve been living next to my Indian neighbors for 47 years they really are Top people chuk de patieh

[@karan_153]

[@rafankhan1]

Morris The Dancer Wala!! too funny!!!

[@MandeepSingh-kl5rq]

The dance off bit kills it.

[@mandscat]

That was silly but fun! Morris dancers are really frightening

[@pauljordan4452]

Fuck em.

[@bppmurphy]

​@@pauljordan4452what the fuck is wrong with Morris dancers? Literally every other culture is allowed to celebrate their own folk customs except the English. And I'm saying this as someone who is practically pre-programmed to hate them

[@ricardosd12]

Whenever I hear name Balwant all I think of is BHAAAANGGRAMAN

[@abusayed93]

I miss this show so much

[@thomasjames6680]

"Bhangraman? Blimey!"

[@cambs0181]

This has actually got funnier over the years. I

[@luckybag6814]

Blimey - the good old days when we could all laugh at / with each other and ourselves.

[@joshwebb5016]

You said it man. There’s too many people getting offended that it “disrespects English Culture” or its “too stereotypically Indian”

[@hashimashadoo]

You still can, just so long as you don't punch down.

[@englishguy9680]

Morris dancing is evil in any context 😂

[@KashvinderMann]

Haha, that was awesome! Bhangraman! :)

[@ShivaSpice]

You saved us from performing ridiculous something folk dance routines! :):) Love it!

[@pauljordan4452]

Outmoded

[@sparkyjeff2]

i used to be a plumber he he....love this

[@LemonBombProductions]

I was so happy to see Kulvhinder Ghir on National Lampoon's Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj. Finally he is being recognized on American movies as well!

[@lostcowbot]

Fricking hillarious,very apt with my surname. Used to love Goodness gracious me.

[@arkmalfius]

I love this guy.

[@closethefuckingdoor]

If people took things like this serious, then humor would be offensive to everyone. Every culture, tradition and types of people has a prejudice, and comedies just make fun of that prejudice by overemphasizing it. Whats the point of life when we can't laugh at ourselves, it doesn't mean we don't respect where we come from, it just means that we can take these jokes with a light heart, and still be proud of where we come from.

[@capricornyearofthetiger]

Awesome! Those evil morris dancers remind me of the child catcher.

[@ramanjeet1111]

a movie shld be made...dawn of bhangraman

[@wowdywoemanwebble]

Ever since I was a kid when I first started watching this outstanding comedy I always wanted to know what "Chocaday!!" meant but didn't dare shout it as I might get a punch from onr of the Indian blokes I knew...

[@melodicnostalgic3823]

I think its 4 years too late, But Chakadey = Equivalent to "Rock on" !!! :D

[@Bluewizard35728]

It means "Lift up the floorboards" as in get the party started

[@RAFMnBgaming]

Isn't that the guy from star trek voyager?

[@Scanlaid]

@@RAFMnBgaming underrated. Now I wish I could see Bhangraman in voyager, he can beat up neelix

[@NetMoverSitan]

Yeah, Morris Dancing is not something we're too proud of here in England. Described in a different comedy series as "A bunch of effeminate blacksmiths who wave bits of cloth they've just wiped their noses on".

[@allisonforfornsed]

NetMoverSitan that's too bad. Folk dancing isn't ridiculous, out-moded stuff. Folk dancing is heritage, cultural inheritance! Thank god you've got some! some people don't. While I thought this clip was very very funny, I have to say that I (an American) finding out that my English ancestors did have SOME significant form of folk dance and costume was a great relief to me, and made me very proud indeed.

[@NetMoverSitan]

allisonforfornsed You would have to be pretty secure to go out dressed like THAT. Pride (in general) is not something we have too much of. If there is more of it, It's clearly passed me by.

[@allisonforfornsed]

+NetMoverSitan LOL!!!

[@darthhideous8]

+NetMoverSitan Is that Blackadder?

[@NetMoverSitan]

***** Yeah and it basically says a lot about them and how they don't make sense.

[@FahadAyaz]

Who's the skinny West Country lad?

[@raphibaer]

C'mon ppl - every culture has some kind of dance that looks silly and weird to others. For example, I am Austrian and I think our folk dancing looks extremely stupid - even though it is in some ways quite similar to Morris dancing - I love Bollywood Dancing for example - but to be honest, this has some quite silly moves also :-) So what?!!

[@stephenhayesuk]

Moris dancing is silly, that's part of the point of it. It's also harmless. See some Morris dancing on my channel

[@suelane3628]

I suggest you actually do some research on Morris Dancing! My question is, as (the depicted) Cotwolds Morris....where were their sticks?? They should have clonked Bhangraman on the head and flicked him with wet hankies! ('Dangerous things hankies: quote from the wonderful spoof documentary 'Life in Bells.' ) Yes the humour does work with hanky dancing, but not with some of the Border Morris sides who would put the wind up Bhangraman.

[@jan290382]

@Neemrahs21 Because they're spoofing old American superhero tv shows. :)

[@MetusModus]

I hate to lower the tone but nina looks fab u lous at 2:25

[@QFIhawkman]

Chaneeeeeeey.... PATAAAAY!

[@zafis2cool4u]

HHAHAHa

[@lazylillies1438]

Dance off bro, meme and you. Marvel stole the idea from here

[@EccentricGentelman]

So morris dancing, a traditional folkdance, is considered outmoded but bhangra, another traditional folkdance, isn't?

[@wavavoom]

See that's the joke. Bhangra is exactly the same as Morris Dancing it's both old traditional folk dance.

[@EccentricGentelman]

@@wavavoom I didn't know that, This show is the 1st and only place I've ever heard the word bhangra. I assumed it was considered cooler by the public.

[@bikedirt]

i really dont get british humor lol

[@iamgulati]

This is very funny And @wowdywoemanweddle it's actually spelt 'chak de'

[@KuldeepSingh-go4kd]

Bahngrah man fights the evil comac the dancer

[@paulcasini4759]

Get him back on the box now

[@escapewalk]

Bm owns all..

[@twiceborne]

Morris dancing from moorish dancing or Spanish Moriscos ... Don't get to patriotic about it ... It was copied from North African cultural dances ... You want BRITISH culture stick to non Anglo Saxon Celtic tradition ...

[@Bella-fz9fy]

The English people’s DNA is predominantly ancient Briton or Celtic.It’s a myth that it’s Saxon,they ruled but didn’t replace the native population.Morris dancing was unruly dancing,mentioned in the 12th century as ‘Routs and Reyes’ dancing,later named Morris dancing.The blackened faces go back to guise dancing which is pagan!

[@JohnSmith-un2mm]

@@Bella-fz9fy there is no evidence it is related to paganism, in fact it is more to do with cristianity in recent times. stop spreading fake news mate

[@YorkyOne]

​​@@Bella-fz9fy Morris dancing is clearly traced back to a royal court entertainment - earliest reference is from the Burgundian court of 1427-28 (la morisque). In England 19th May 1448 - The Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths (Moryssh. daunsers). Blacking up is not found in morris dancing before 19th century.

[@Bella-fz9fy]

@@twiceborne Jig is an old English word for 'the old way of dancing' and blacking your face has always appeared in Pagan rituals as guising,to hide your appearance.Just because something is documented at a certain point,doesn't mean it hasn't got older roots.
