INDIAN Couple in UK React to Hilarious INDIAN Jokes from the BIG BANG THEORY

[@jamesrawlins735]

Another fun fact - Kunal (Raj) is married to 2006 Miss Femina India Neha Kapur (she represented India at the Miss Universe pageant.) He also attended St. Columba School in New Delhi.

[@YankeeRoyalReactionary]

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@danb.6294]

That show ran 12 years and is still hilaious in reruns. The accuracy of Indian culture is no surprise, they are all PHD'S in the show & the accuracy extends to that part of the show.

[@errolthibodaux]

The actor who played Raj, Kunal Nayyar, grew up in New Delhi, India. Acting like he was Indian was probably very easy for him. Making his character consistently funny was probably tough. He did it very well.

[@melissavukelic4138]

I think “acting” like he was Indian was easy for him because he actually IS Indian.🤣🤣🤣

[@cynthiaahern9081]

​@melissavukelic4138 Thank you! Right? I thought exactly the same words.

[@jpsnCoSprings]

If you look at all the episodes, Raj excelled at trolling everyone else.

[@danacox8600]

He grew up in London. He had to work on his accent. He resides there now

[@wolftitan]

The best line was "We're Indian, we believe this stuff." 🤣

[@willvr4]

hahah yeah, it was so sarcastic. They're all scientists and none of them are even remotely religious.

[@annabogart6689]

yes, watch the big bang theory. its so funny. you need to watch from the start because raj goes through so much growth. and when his parents are on, they are so funny !!!!

[@Rekuzan]

*Raj squeeks* Penny "What is it Lassie, speak! Did Timmy fall down a well?" 🤣

[@stuartwald2395]

I was expecting the scene where Leonard winds up on a videolink with Raj's parents, who are not happy with him dating their daughter. Because he was not expecting it, he improvises and says; "How is the weather? Is it very hot there?", and the father responds stiffly but with force: "This is India. It is always hot!"

[@vincegamer]

I always enjoy Brian George in everything from Seinfeld to The Expanse

[@gestaltdude]

@@vincegamer He even made a surprise appearance on Star Trek Deep Space Nine as Julian's father. Interestingly he was using a British accent in the role.

[@vincegamer]

@@gestaltdude well, he and Alexander Siddig are both British actors of middle-eastern descent. One of George's more out there roles was Guru Pathik in Avatar the Last Airbender.

[@1989NickyD]

9:06 Author Mithun Vijay Kumar slammed Netflix with a legal notice, asking the streaming giant to remove one of the episodes of the sitcom due to some offensive remarks against Bollywood diva Madhuri Dixit. In the controversial scene, Raj is seen discussing Bollywood films with his friend Sheldon Cooper. Dixit is compared to Aishwarya Rai and is referred to as a “lecherous pros**tute."

[@roydeneckhardt3112]

Indians are very big on cricket, and so are we South Africans. It is a great sport. I cannot wait for the World Cup which will take place very soon. Good luck. 👍

[@sarahdixon1943]

You HAVE to watch the series!!! That show is hysterically funny!!! Raj is my favorite character on the show. His personality is just the best!!! Look up the scene where he tells Leonard he can steal Penny from him by romantic talking her ❤❤ THAT episode was GREAT!!! Seriously though, Big Bang is a great show!!😊

[@candicelitrenta8890]

I would totally watch your reactions to The Big Bang Theory. It is my favorite tv show and I react to other people reacting to it.

[@YankeeRoyalReactionary]

Good to know 😊

[@Why-D]

Besides making fun, the authors tried to give a lot of true information, from the theoretical physic to cultural and religious informations of different kinds. I liked that series very much.

[@KaiLucasZachary]

I love how so many American people think the final Bollywood dance number is "racist"... but in actuality it's so realistic to real culture.

[@Historian212]

Wow, really? I'm American, I love it. It's a fun adaptation and a bit of a spoof. Some people here are so nervous about racism that they totally overreact. I'm sure that Kunal Nayyar, the actor who played Raj, would have informed the producers and creators of the show if something was racist, rather than participate in it.

[@davidodonnell4371]

My wife and I used to love watching this show, and during the early seasons, we would sing the theme song at the beginning of each episode.

[@irener.3849]

I envy you because you will be watching this wonderfully funny show for the first time. I don’t know to what extent you will be able to get the humor of interactions between Rajesh (Indian guy) and Howard (Jewish guy). They are hilarious. When intensely Christian and Texan Sheldon’s mother appears, it gets even better. At a time when political correctness dominates, this show was a relief.

[@vincegamer]

The video didnt include any scenes with Brian George playing Rajesh's father, some of the best jokes - though George is not Indian

[@YankeeRoyalReactionary]

I want to see 🤔 Can you share the link

[@Historian212]

@vincegamer @YankeeRoyalReactionary Well, it's a bit more complicated than that. This is from Wikipedia: "George was born...in Nahariya, Israel, to Jewish parents of Indian and Iraqi descent, who had immigrated to Israel. His father was born in Iraq and grew up in Bombay, India, in a multi-religious family, with his half-sister being Muslim. His mother was born in India. A year after his birth, the family moved from Israel to London and then, in 1966, to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. George is the youngest of four siblings." The Jewish communities in India are quite ancient (although they've dwindled in size over the past hundred years or so), and due to intermarriage, Indian Jews share in Indian cultures (languages, foods, etc.), while observing Jewish customs of their areas. So George's mother being an Indian Jew, plus his father's having been raised in India, means that George is of part-Indian descent.

[@davidodonnell4371]

Sheldon is supposed to be on the autism spectrum. He has a brilliant mind but misses social cues. His evolution through the series is quite interesting. Early on, he had great difficulty interacting with people, and in flashbacks, you can see that he was basically friendless when Leonard met him and became his roommate. It is nice to see how he grew and developed skills that allowed him to connect with others.

[@branislavpetkovic4507]

Sheldon talks like a kid with no filter

[@YankeeRoyalReactionary]

Yeah Exactly 😃

[@jimmy75256]

It is a pity they cut off the ending to the piece where they are all having lunch with Raj's sister Pirya. She goes on to say that if you eat beef you need to live with cows for 3 months and drink their urine to which Raj replies some of it makes sense some of it is crazy

[@andyt9296]

A comedy you should have a look at it was in the 90s on the BBC called goodness gracious me. One sketch is called going for an English.

[@p3rafael]

two amazing indian talking in english, with a french monument (eiffel tower), watched by a brazilian guy haha nice video, congrats!

[@YankeeRoyalReactionary]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mariacavanaugh1010]

Big Bang Theory: Game Night from the episode "The Reentry Minimization." 😎 My absolute favorite is "The Adhesive Duck Deficiency" ...Raj makes fun of American accents.🤣

[@kenf3539]

Don't forget "Love Spell Potential" where Howard does the voices for the D&D game. I like the James Earl Jones, Billy Bob Thornton, Steven Hawking (and many other) cameos too. "Not Euclid Avenue" and "I believe you" are used as inside jokes with my wife and I.

[@genorp]

Aw, you talked over the best punchline and missed it. Raj: "Do not tell me about my own culture, Sheldon! In the mood I'm in, I'll take you out, I swear to cow!"

[@jimreid4367]

Kunal Nayyar who plays Raj is English born in Hammersmith London , his parents are Punjab . He grew up in India as a child then went to University in America when he was 18 .

[@lindahenderson3819]

Watch the episodes in order, if possible. Every episode was worthy of watching.

[@scottadler]

There was an American comedy TV series (made in America) about a call center in Mumbai called "Outsourced." It starred many well-known Indian-American comedians. You will love it -- if you can find it.

[@janfitzgerald3615]

I loved that show too!

[@MrSamosisimo]

Hey you guys, I loved this video, lots of memories from New York City. Back in the day on Saturday mornings, I used to watch Bollywood musical videos which used to make my ex-wife crazy. I could not help it, hearing Hindi makes me happy!

[@YankeeRoyalReactionary]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@trappenweisseguy27]

Amanpreet is adorable, you are a lucky man.

[@KaiLucasZachary]

[@jaymeguinn3664]

That show is hilarious.😂 They're good actors. It is wise to be weary of American media. A lot of disgraceful things happening over here. I learned in school, 'everything in front of you on t.v. is already thought about. We're good. But, we have some powerful bad eggs.🙄 Keep learning my friends. The world is going fast.💫

[@vaughnnewman8903]

It's a very well-written, well acted, funny show with a great cast. One of the best American comedies, imo.

[@YankeeRoyalReactionary]

Yeah 👍

[@loup7454]

Really enjoyed this especially as you didn’t talk over the clips or pause it too much which some reactors do. Also, completely off topic, love your dress, lady, does the style have a particular name? I like to sew clothes and it seems like great style for a small piece of fancy fabric at the front wit h the rest plain.

[@astralnomad]

We non-indians dont understand hindi - the humor through gestures and facial language is expressed enough to make us laugh.. if we really must know what they said, we can try turning on captions with auto-translate and hope. lol

[@AxelFoleyDetroitLions]

One of my Groomsman spoke Panjabi (His family is from India)….I also had a Groomsman From Pakistan at my Wedding Lol (what are the odds? we all got along)!! My Pakistan Friend Osama, his mom Made the best Biryani (They drove to Chicago to Purchase Chicken) It had to be butchered a certain way i think….Idk…but it was the best after school snack ever! (Especially after smoking some herbs and hungry) 😂😂 Also had friends from Korea, and many more from USA at my wedding 😂 (mostly USA) …. USA is pretty diverse!

[@NdnRevenge]

I am an American native. And omg I love your culture and wish my country would have taught me a different language. But I really like yall. If u come to kansas in America hit me up. I'll show u around and be so happy.

[@Novoxy996]

Loved the video! Bing bang theory is one of my favorite shows. I’m still trying to find the Blu-ray box set for my media collection. Honestly I’ve considered learning another language, luckily from my adhd I’ve picked up a fair amount of different words from a handful of languages. Lately I’ve noticed the desire of learning a language is not from the want of going to the places of that language but it’s been a desire to have the ability to connect and communicate with someone. Thinking it over I’ve thought of learning Hindi, telugu or Punjabi but unsure which would be the best to learn lol but I also want to be able to read/write in the language as well so I can have a deeper understanding and connection to the language which can be intimidating for an English speaker like myself, especially since the American school system didn’t really even do the best at teaching English but I should have taken more initiative to teach myself 😅

[@davidodonnell4371]

Raj, at the beginning of the show, suffers from selective mutism, and cannot speak with women. It is interesting seeing him overcome that issue.

Here is the full theme song for the show (it ends at the first yelled BANG! in the broadcasts): kzbin.info/www/bejne/raLGmItofbJkbM0 To truly get the show it would be best to watch full episodes, not clips. And the characters grow over the seasons so start out at the beginning or you will wonder why they are acting one way and then another.

[@Pilutta100]

Wonderful reaction, I loved watching you react to this. Hugs from Sweden.

Years ago, Philadelphia had a new Publc Funded TV channel. One of the shows had Bollywood movies. That was pretty interesting and a lot of them were pretty good. Although it seemed every 5 minutes they broke into a Michael Jackson or Paula Abdul dance routine.

Greetings from Australia! I’ll leave the World Cup well alone!! 😅

[@willvr4]

This is one of those shows where you need to watch it from the beginning to get the character growth, especially since the later seasons are a hit or miss in my opinion. They also took more chances on jokes that weren't as PC but were way funnier. Out of context, later jokes seem corny.

[@KaiLucasZachary]

This is what comedic humor used to be before "cancel culture" became a thing.

[@elincarlsson6388]

I liked the show. The only negative thing I can think of at this moment is how it's problematic when it excuses their creepiness (especially Howard) as them being nerds, when in reality and statistically at least one of the women would have taken legal action, while the show lets it slide as "part of their nerdy character".
