Meh. Unfun jokes about Germans.

Sure, most of us learn at the age of eight or nine that "funny accents" and endlessly repeated stereotypes isn't all that fun, because its stupid, sometimes mean and not very creative.

Harry Redknapp probably isn't evil. Just a bit boring and stupid.
Every Swede I’ve known (maybe 15?) have taken the piss out of the Norwegians. Are they the exception that prove the rule?

Makes no adds though, it’s a really sensitiv/hot topic just now, Harry should have known better.
I think it's as sensitive as it's chosen to be made. I watched it and didn't find myself laughing at his efforts to be amusing.

Context and intent is important in every situation, nothing is absolute. He simply thought he was being funny and doubtless had no bad intent.

It really is nothing except a bit lame. Maybe a quiet word. Unelected world leaders making Nazi signs is a genuine cause for concern.

Here in the south, its more about the Danes...

I think making fun of other cultures and languages can be fun if its clever and original. If its the exact same jokes and imitations as when we were kids... well, then its just boring and stupid.

I'm reminded of Ron Atkinson not being able to read the room.


Edit .... actually I'm not


Thuis was just a dozy old geezer playing to an audience with some dumb 'bantź'

Have never understood the fuss over tabloid media darling Harry Redknapp. His old football war stories aren't particularly funny. Never tires of telling the masses how much he loves his wife, when he's short of something to say. How profound.

Maybe he can just claim his dog did it?
Funnily enough, Rosie (RIP*) is mentioned in the video.

Pretty dumb thing to say, not remotely funny, even though people are laughing, but he won't get 'cancelled'

* Sort it out, @Lenny Rider

Another wokegate victim. Poor Harry.
RIP Harry.

I hope they find a vaccination for this wokegate thingy. You get arrested and thrown into prison if you say you are a wokegate victim.
