As a nigerian some things he said is not true..we don't call for the woman..we just blow the dart, that's all. 😁🤣😅
Patrice o'neal lmaoooo
LoL!
I'm Nigerian too. His exaggeration isn't funny.
if you trying to be funny just know that you suck.
This guyyy😂😂😂 no koba us😂
when he blew a dart, I lost it...
Dude same lol
That’s actually an old Jamie Foxx joke.
yooooooo lol!!!
@@badrm9175 it's actually a pretty common "joke" to shoot a dart at someone as you're "playing" an African.
Its like making a joke about a Karen complaining to the manager.
He copied Aries Spears
I am Nigerian and from the same ethnic group as Godfery. The reason why Nigerians ask where you are from is because they want to know which ethnic group you belong to. There are over 700 languages spoken in Nigeria. you could be from anywhere. Nigeria is not like France where everyone speaks one language.
@@ekusondebango3568 He is Igbo.
@@ekusondebango3568 oh really? I didn't see the Igbo bashing
@@meccuno But it is a 5 hour link which you could not have breezed through so quickly.
@@ekusondebango3568 well, igbos are used to the abuses and insults.
@@meccuno It is wrong though. Here's the link again( about 3hours and seventeen minutes into the show and you will see what I mean).I addressed those bashing Igbo people at that link. Nice talking to you as I have to run.
The dart joke was originally coined by Aries Spears. As it is used in the exact same context (African picking up American women), I'd say Godfrey is paying hommage to his colleague.
Not to mention the beautifully inserted Nigerian 'Why are you running' meme. Respects to the man Godfrey
Hahaaaa, theft is called ''paying hommage'' today? Get the fuck out of here maaan.
Straight theft
Well, it’s not like Spiers owns the right to blowing darts right? Execution is different I guess?
@@creativepicnl It's the same joke, told in a slightly different context - theft.
@@prcknedla Godfrey has been doing this joke for years
Dude is over 50 years old. Crazy.
He’s 50? Shit he looks 30😂
You must be kiddinnnnnnn OMG

Idk about that... I'm gonna look it up...
"She's not dead, bring her here" 😭😭😭

hiah*
breen ho heeah*
That was purely for comedic effect. There's no truth in it. I'm Nigerian, have lived in Nigeria all my life and have never seen a blowpipe live.
👆😭😭🤣👌
@@abionaalli 😅
"After my double shift, I will destroy your life"😂😂😂😅
Why are you running? WHY ARE YOU RUNNING!?😂
"She's not dead. Bring her here."
Come on, man. 🤣😂
As a Nigerian That part where he said we talk with our whole face is so true 😂😂
No bro that's a lie except we r arguing 😂
Idiot
Lmao nope
Yes, talk with the face as well as the limbs.
We talk with our face and our hands lol
I love how he laughs after every joke, his smile is so charming♥️
Bruh gay
He has awesome teeth
It's blinding
I had a Nigerian friend. He was very polite and soft spoken. He was always very genuinely happy to see me and had the biggest smile. I felt special and important to him every time we ran into each other. He always was respectful towards me. I was on home time when I had a medical problem and couldn't continue to work. Without an income I couldn't keep my phone for the next 4-5 years. I lost contact with all my friends. I remember my Nigerian friend and miss him.
You should mention in his name. Who knows if he or someone who knows him sees this. Miracles happen
Hit up T-Ericka she will find him for you
Hit up T-Ericka she will find him for you
Nigerian accent is the dopest and we even have many accents depending on the tribe you belong to.
Exactly man thats what i have been saying. people think this is the only accent in nigeria 🇳🇬
The accent he did isn't even close to being accurate, its somewhere between igbo and various southern part of Africa
African accents are the coolest
@@EnormossMusic yeah... It was a hybrid Nigerian accent..
He be killing them accents tho. Lol
When is Godfrey getting his own special. He’s so underrated.
gto!
@@chumaa2147 why is that mr.2
@@chumaa2147 neither is Kevin hart
That was technically his special😂😂 where you think this came from?
So good!
I’m Asian and I always enjoyed the Nigerian culture. I have two friends who are Nigerian. They are great! They do try to pull me to their church though. But they are one of the funniest crowd to be with.
I mention being Asian because I am already rather reserve to begin with. This crowd can draw you out of your reservation and just have a blast!
😊aq😊
*”WHY ARE YOU RUNNING?”* I’m dead 🤣🤣🤣
GODFREY NEEDS A NETFLIX SPECIAL!! this man is a legend and I'm so happy to see him finally start to get some recognition
Nah. Most people don't wanna see him perform old Aries spears/Jamie foxx jokes.
He’s WAY over-due for a Netflix special
Isn’t the “Netflix is a joke” indicator that he has or going to have a Netflix special.
Man when he does Steve Harvey it always kills me 🤣
@@TP-xy2ms He was actually opening for Tiffany Haddish here.
I like how true Godfrey fans have heard him explain on his podcasts how multiple comedians can naturally arrive at the same joke without anyone stealing it.
Like that should be obvious especially if you've got the same background. The human mind only goes so far.
And taking inspiration or recycling old material is literally how originality worsk ask any music/painting ever.
For real. Just because you hear the same drum beat and fill in a song doesn't mean that drummer stole it from another. Same goes with comedy or really any art form.
@@AlmostaFlipinSkater depends on the context. If someone uses a generic, rudimentary drum fill that has been used in millions of songs and is so fundamental to the playing of drums that one probably couldn't learn to play without working such a fill out - its pretty much fair game. But if you literally copy someone's beats for a song from start to finish and the sole change you make is hitting a crash instead of a China one or two times - I'd personally qualify that as theft/plagiarism. Which many musicians have been accused and found guilty of it.
Which is essentially like what Amy Schumer or Carlos Mencia did, which is steal someone else's jokes from the premise to the punchline, and merely replace singular names/words to make it seem like their own.
That's like me painting the Mona Lisa wearing a red dress and attempting to call it a holistically original work.
True. Ive heard Aries Spears do something similar, but each bit is still unique on its own.
In nature we call that Convergent evolution
“She’s not dead, she is just tranquilized”😭
Godfrey is a LEGEND...Luv this dude🤣🤣🤣💯
Godfrey been doing African jokes since premium blend. I've been a fan of him since then.
Known him Since Comic View on "B.E.T" in the mid 90s..
Since comicview
@@rarashamash1216 “and who is going to pay for it”
@@vensonj 🤣🤣 , Godfrey Father was something else!...
No African findes this funny it’s a huge generalization
I really love when Godfrey speaks about being Nigerian. He teases his family but I know he loves them! LOL
As an Nigerian born in US, im super glad for Godfrey!!
That pause about his cousins coming over was SO real 😄👌🏾
Why r u runnin…. 😂😂😂😂😂
She not dead, bring her here 😂
Finally something big like Netflix gives him the shine he deserves, maybe the most underrated comedian ever!!! Also underrated actor! And the man is over 50 years old!
Im a fan of Nigerians one of their Princes is going to make me rich soon
Here I am 😅
🤣😂
This comment 😂😂😂
You are wrong my friend. That traitorous Prince was arrested yesterday by the Nigerian Republic's Military. General Mufasa has a declaration scheduled for today about it. But he is looking for a partner overseas to recover the lost money. You have to contact him ASAP.
The ones who get taken by the “princes” are themselves treacherous and dishonest desirous to gain out of nothing. I have no sympathy for them, to be honest.
I'm surprised this guy didn't have a Netflix special already. This was too funny
Maybe some day!
He keeps getting into needless confrontations, himself cancelled, one after another, he can't help.Funny guy though🙄
Maybe because he curses a lot. There's no need to do it to sound American or Nigerian.
Love Godfrey and his comedy. Always have.
I can't stop watching this over and over again...
His facial expressions are the funniest
One of the most underrated black comedians. He needs his own tv series and he should be one of the head writers/ producers of the show. Make it happen Netflix.
One of the most underrated comedians period.
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Thank you.
Wait you haven't laugh long time 😵
I just lost it on the dart part! WOMAN!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
The "Women, why are you running?" Sounds much familiar to meme of African interviewer saying "Why are you gay?"
There was another video with "VAI AR YU RUHNNING?!"
LMAOOO 🤣🤣🤣
I understood that reference very well 😂
The interviewer was Ugandan.
"Who says I'm gae?"
For everyone who is confused as to why he says he is Nigerian; it is because he is not 'African-American' but rather a first generation African in America. If he still speaks his parents' language/s at home, bilingual/multilingual, and he doesn't have the same culture/traditions as African-American people.
He is a person caught between the perception of what an African man should be and what an American man should be, so he doesn't quite fit in on either side.
Brilliant analysis
Personally I feel like it's different because I'm jamaican but I feel weird when people who weren't born here or ever experienced jamaican culture say their jamaican you have jamaican heritage but factually and according to your birth certificate you're American but maybe I'm just weird because I know what actual jamaican culture is and I just feel it's misrepresented
@@seanharrison6162 I think what you think makes sense.
Maybe we are individuals
AND nationality depends/relies more on how you do FEEL about the subject
Not exactly or just where we're born at.
Interesting matter 🤔
@@leonardomattarmonteiro2824 well nationality is a cut and dry thing because it's really based on your birth certificate the American government sees them as American how much you embrace your culture is up to you and what you identify as is up to you but personally when I see someone who wasn't born in Jamaica or lived there until a decent age I don't think there Jamaican I'm sure it's the same for the people he's referring to when they try and test his Nigerianess it's not coming from a bad place most times it's just a difference of perspective as someone who was born and raised their also when they speak patois or jamaican as they call it I feel a piece of my soul curl up and die
@@seanharrison6162
Yep
You're right Sean.
I'm from a Lebanese heritage myself,
BUT
Never been to Lebanon once.
All I know from that country culturally & historically I've learned from books.
I was born in Brasil.
So you got a valid point,my friend.🤜🏼🤛🏽
Dude is 54… did he look like teenager in his 30s or something

Bruh!!!!😂😂😂😂

Lol I am seriously tearing up right now. This guy is hilarious!
Godfrey is smart not to use his new materials for this special, he recycled his old joke and mix it with some throw away bit. If yall want to see his new stuffs ask netflix to pay him for an hour special. Godfrey is like Chappelle he got about 5 special worth of materials in the vault.
I saw him in person. Not one recycled joke for over an hour! He’s hilarious.
@@synchronicitystudios8217 Yup I listened to his podcast "in Godfrey we trust" and big name comics said they saw him do 4 or 5 separate hours in one weekend that Godfrey put fear in them.
Bingo!
Facts
As a nigerian I swear this video is too funny! 😂
Being 100% Nigerian myself this made me crack the fuck up! I’m going to call my cousin Izzy Adesanya to show him this!!!! 🇳🇬
Wow, you know Izzy Adesanya. This is the closest I have been to knowing anyone famous
@drbree82born in Nigeria.
Godfrey need his own Netflix special. M8 he is an amazing comedian, like bro I would watch it over and over again
Omo, we don't talk like that 😂. Wetin be this na
Omo I taya oooo
Omo, e shock me sef oh!💀😂
E choke 🤣🤣🤣
This guy just use us shine 😂
E vex me gan. That's not a Nigerian accent. Na Wakanda im dey yarn.
Godfrey looks so good for a man in his early fifties.
I thought he was in his 30s I had to look it up, that’s crazy!
I looked it up and I still refuse to believe it. The guy is fiiiiiiiine!
Wow
Black (Nigerian) don't crack
Yessss too damn good
Godfrey is a comedic legend 🔥🔥🔥 severely underrated
this was absolutely hilarious and so accurate..his accent is so on point lol
How broooo , it was fuckung trashh
When we ask what part of Nigerian you from it’s literally to find out what tribe you are and to see if we speak the same tribal language.. 🤦🏾♂️
Don’t mind the fellow. Thinks he is still in America that’s why he is getting mad
Good to know
If the shoe fits 😁
I think he makes a point there, and so do you. But other reason why I believe others ask him is to find out how much he knows about his roots n origins, that way if he’s clueless, they’ll just tell him he’s not “100%” Nigerian so it satisfies their arrogance. I have friends from Tanzania, Kenya m, Uganda living in Sweden, USA n other places in the west and they go through the same thing with their fellow Africans. Sad but true
@@Swerocco1983 a lot of Nigerians like to connect instead of claiming one isn’t 100% Nigerian. And being made fun of is part of the connection. I understand what you’ve said but I honestly believe that a lot of the people that asked him were just trying to connect. Even foreigners ask me what part of Nigeria I’m from cos they may have met someone from there.
The Nigerian accent was good when he said hey my friend I don't want to fight u😂
He talks like a black American trying to do a Nigerian accent and failing 😬
His Nigerian accent is terrible lol. This is coming from someone who also has a terrible Nigerian accent😂
Ooh ThankGod been saying it since his accent of Nigeria are even terrible 😢
This is very accurate, I go through it all the time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I LOVED Godfrey for SO long!! He DEFINITELY deserves a Netflix special!!
Lol I know that feels I'm also Nigerian. I was even BORN there and because of the lack of an accent I'm still questioned

This energy is exactly how some random Nigerian dude hit on me at a club even after I told him I was in a serious relationship 😂
Yeah lie
Lmao
no nigerian is hitting on a black american women stop the cap
Yeah? But exactly what is a serious relationship??
@@dragonballreviewsandprevie7112 Not only are Nigerian men hitting on Black American women, they are marrying them!

Caught this as well. I'm like, two of the most dominant UFC champions are both Nigerian.

i was not ready for the why you running meme :D
Why doesn’t he have a special yet? I’ve known about him for years. His platform is bigger than this series.
He's trash
Accents are grossly inaccurate
He's had two specials. You guys are new fans and its hilarious!
“You’ll never see a Nigerian fighting”
Meanwhile in New Zealand: *Israel Adesanya weeps softly ignored and alone*
na he right about that, ..and thats sports bro,, Nigerians don't fight, not cuz they cowards..but Nigerians'll calculate everything in terms of what do I stand to gain? and reputation is big with them, a Nigerian might think if I fight and end up loosing my job, what next? he straight up clowning but he right on that one
