One of the first jokes which goes over your head is when he says to the Asian man, “You’ll never play for Yorkshire”. He’s referring to the Yorkshire cricket where until the early 90’s I think it was you had to be born in Yorkshire to be eligible to play for them so he’s obviously inferring that the Asian gentleman must’ve been born elsewhere.

[@eilrahc__]

And even after the early nineties they didn't take very kindly to ethnic minorities playing at their club.

Last of the Summer Wine is a comedy filled with Yorkshire humour. It's slow moving pace and gentle Yorkshire wit shines through. It's about three old men whose antics bring them into the firing line of the long-suffering women of the town including chief battle axe Nora Batty who handles her broom like a trained assassin. It's more visual for It's stunning location and the gentle comedy, which is not vulgar. I think your Queen would enjoy it.

[@Bevity]

I have always loved Last of the Summer Wine.

[@trevorbaynham8810]

Yorkshireman too - Many people can pick up an accent and place it within a 20 mile radius - The Yorkshire accent is definitely a strong one - with its own regional variations. I was once sat talking in a bar in Singapore and another Brit spoke and asked how far from a certain place I lived / came from (It was within 3 miles - next village) - also when holidaying in the South have met with people believing the stereotypes (or are they?) The irony is that it is usually Southerners mimicking the accent in comedy shows - Also check Yorkshire airlines as others have said Harry Enfield so it appears went to the University of York - maybe where he heard the accent

Yorkshire is the UK's biggest county, it's split into 4 (N,S,E,W. Although East Yorkshire was called Humberside for a while along with the part of North Lincolnshire that was south of the River Humber). Although historically it is named because of the City of York, Leeds is now it's biggest City and 'capital'. We are straight forward folk, no bells or whistles. Working class, friendly but take no bullsh!t. We say it how it is. Plus we're very good at taking the p!ss.....out of ourselves as well as our friends and family......so the majority of us will say "aye, that's pretty bang on" and laugh along with it. Also as a side note......If Yorkshire was a nation......which some folk would rather it was........It would have come 12th in the 2012 Olympics.😆

[@davidmarsden9800]

Traditionally Yorkshire until 1974 was split into North Riding, West Riding and the East Riding as per the original Viking areas. In 1974 local government changes by the labour government meant we had new counties formed from parts of Yorkshire that we only reinstated recently. They were Cleveland and Humberside, also we had South Yorkshire created. That said a lot of our voting constituencies are named after the original Anglo Saxon Wappentakes of the area they're in. For example in and around Leeds there's Ainsty, Elmet and Skyrack.

As a Yorkshireman I can concur that people from Yorkshire have a reputation for bluff, frank and forthright opinions that they will let you know. However, it's not true... no honestly it isn't. The moment when he settles on the black gentleman and tells him he'll never play for Yorkshire, refers to the game of cricket and Yorkshire's then policy of not selecting anyone to play who was not born in Yorkshire. Yorkshire was the only county to adopt this policy, but dropped it some years ago. Curiously, Yorkshire County Cricket was recently at the centre of a racism storm, when a player of Pakistani descent alleged that he was subjected to a number of racist comments/incidents by persons at Yorkshire County Cricket Club. It later emerged that the player himself had made racist comments about Jews - something that seems to have been largely swept under the carpet.

[@eilrahc__]

I don't know if it was swept under the carpet, it was covered in the mainstream news and right wing talking heads on Twitter all jizzed themselves at the thought of being able to undermine the very much substantiated allegations of racism.

Hi, I am a Yorkshire man. This is some what close stereo typical of a yorkshireman. I also find this hilarious as it's making fun of how a yorkshireman would sound to an extreme, Which is what makes it funny. But you should check out part 2 of this as a Dr. George English man, it's so funny I never fail not to laugh.

I'm a Yorkshireman and find it very funny. We do tend to be a bit on the sexist side to be honest.

Yorkshire was once the home of the English parliament the largest county and also a huge part of our nations economic strength before the british europeans trashed it . this strength was something the british establishment feared so they dismantled the majority of the industry (steel coal fishing) that gave the county huge political influence . imo the USA have seen similar in the rust belt

Yorkshire gods own country 👍🏻🍻

The only well known Yorkshire man I think you'll recognise is Sean Bean (aka Ned Stark GOT)

[@danielb7143]

Nah they're about. Especially if you count technicalities like Ed Sheeran (born in Halifax). Sean Bean's not the only one from Yorkshire in GOT, Lena Headey grew up here I believe. Patrick Stewart is an absolute hero, he's Mirfield born, son of a textiles worker. He might have ditched the accent but it doesn't get much more Yorkshire than that. Judi Dench is from York. Dominic West is from Sheffield. So is Michael Palin. Sir Ben Kingsley, Gandhi himself is a Yorkshireman... fuck I'm running out now. Neville Longbottom? The Doctor Who woman?

jeremy clarkson ? , summat to do with cars

[@danielferris7960]

Of course not all Yorkshiremen you might have heard of speak like that - Patrick Stewart and the late great James Mason for instance.

@@donnyrover1 Clarkson might not sound Yorkshire, but his forthright nature and lack of interest in social and political niceties is totally in character.

I was born and raised in Yorkshire. This is fuckin gold! So well observed and executed.

You can always tell a Yorkshireman...But you cant tell him much!

[@Wagoo]

Now imagine a football stadium full of them all singing about Jimmy Savile at a Leeds game ⚽ Yorkshire is God's own country!

[@dav147]

this character is based loosely on Fred Trueman, former england cricketer who was a Yorkshireman who had a reputation for calling a spade a spade and plain speaking, check him out Boomer.

[@jackbrooking4754]

From Leeds (In Yorkshire) hilarious. and more or less accurate certainly for when this was made. Definitely know one or two men like that. 😂😂

[@TheDevilsAdvocate.]

It’s a southerner’s stereotype of a northerner basically.
