I just went to the comments to see if anyone else thought Angela was surprisingly funny. I don't think she took body pump classes, but comedy classes instead. Nish is still not funny though.

[@RoboBongoCuckooCop]

yeah the last few episodes featuring Angela she has really turned the comedy up.

[@oscargr_]

@Eric Burkheimer Every country (that I know of) has a proportion of non-navtive comedians. They are seldom actually funny. A few "I am different from you" puns is the best you can hope for. In most panel shows it will trigger others to make jokes about these difference too. Seldom above the obvious stereotype references. Henning Wehn, for example, always gets WW2 jabs. And if he doesn't, he will make some himself.

[@elliotyamamoto38]

Unlike Nish.

I am super late but also not British, may you explain it to me?

[@balrog0444]

@@littlesunshine9218 I'm extra late, but to explain, there was a popular children's show in the UK called Chucklevision. The focus of the show was the silly antics of two bumbling brothers, Paul and Barry. The show ran for 22 years. The show had multiple catchphrases, some of which were bounced between the brothers every episode, the most well known being what they chanted whenever they were carrying anything. "To me!" - "To you!" - "To me!" - "To you!" - etc. In August 2018, shortly before this episode, one of the brothers died, leaving the remaining brother utterly distraught. Hence the response to the joke.
