See my comment below. He's just another trendy woke 'comedian' putting on the guise of a cockney ignoramus and trying to demonstrate that if you are un-woke you are an appalling person. Christ, if the BBC (ultra-ultra-woke!) thought for one minute this bloke really held those views he'd be off the air in under a second. Left wing Johnny Speight scored a massive hit on UK TV between 1965-1975 with the character Alf Garnett (played by very left wing Warren Mitchell). It was a massive hit because the audience totally missed the political message (Lefties always have to be bloody didactic) and instead resonated with Alf's right-wing, racist, homophobic rants which gave voice to their own prejuduces (for once).
No he isn't. Don't you see he's being ironic, doing an Alf Garnett, on a 100% BBC woke show. If he really meant what he's saying it might be amusing, but this is the show doing what it always does, mocking the un-woke.

I'd say it depends what it's about. It should be acceptable for men to cry about important and moving things like grief, tragedy, and love. If I'm crying because I just had a bad day, or someone was mean to me. Then feel free to tell me to "man up."
Yep fully agree with you Geoff, a lot of guys need to man up these days, self responsibility seemed to go down the drain. We got told suck it up and seal with it and it made us stronger, they weren't wrong.
@@apexpredator8001 for any adult it's ok to express emotion, however, I also believe in time and place. For example something like a family death of course there's emotion at any time and that's totally expected, on the other hand if it's something small in day to day life there's priorities. As adults in general we should have an appropriate amount of control over our emotions. Holding it together to be able to complete necessary things for example is a key skill that any independent adult needs. By the way I also believe women shouldn't be balling their eyes out at the drop of a hat 😊
I’m seeing Geoff Norcott in RUclips recommendations because I’ve just watched his recent Triggernometry. Good being serious and funny! “Find some non-gender-specific inner fortitude!” 😂
The phrase 'man up' in a gender neutral term is 'build self resilience' which can be done through realizing when you are in a situation you find difficult that it is OK to feel a confliction of emotions, which encourage you to press on stoically but also require some time in reflection that might include releasing emotions
@Marianne Shepherd I dont quite agree with you...its gender specific and if its said to a woman theres an implication that she should be like a man and the qualities associated are only male ones as theres not an equivalent saying for girls or women and I dont know why. Having said that I broadly agree with the sentiment to pull yourself together and get on with it if someones is being pathetic...man or woman. In my house its turned around...Im the only woman, so I say stop crying like a boy or woman up or 'grow a pair' refers to the bust and not the other piece of anatomy it's usually associated with. I say someone has b***bs and not b*lls to imply courage. Its lighthearted but makes the point that having stoicism or courage should not just be associated with male body parts or men. I dont say big girls blouse, I say big boys shirt. That said, I think it's just fine for anyone to cry if they are seriously hurt and in pain, physically or emotionally...just dont be a whiny manipulative crier.
Amazing how many people think this was actually a genuine interview and not scripted. It was funny but we're so obsessed with the culture wars that people are desperate to see their side win. 'yeah stick it to that snowflake'
Hahaha I used to think like this until I received a phone call whilst in tescos telling me my grandmother passed. Moral is, you don't know why someone is crying. So maybe leave your judgement at the door
Hi Geoff, bet you don’t get many BBC gigs. You’re funny, and provocative. Which is what comedy should be. Oh, and you sound working clarrrss, not ethnic, or middle clarrrsss.
This is genuinely funny, his ripostes were unexpected, and provocative. That’s what’s wrong with so much woke comedy, it’s predictable, uncreative, dull. This was the opposite.
Women want a house cat up until they need a tiger and they want an ON/OFF switch. Also, they don't mind so much when a real cat pisses in the corner whatever the reason.
My god, that was such a rare showing of normality that it felt like a slapped arse. Is mush still in therapy? I think you should maybe send him a card or something xx
@@kneazle3603 Are you sure it's not less about them being comfortable with their vulnerability as them creating a vulnerability to be comfortable with? I've been a man most of my life, and I've met very, very few men who genuinely believe they "aren't allowed" to cry or that emotions are frowned upon in the male community. We have emotions. We have very raw emotions, very turbulent emotions. Our emotions are every bit as deep as a woman's, and we are aware of it, and even gripe about women who claim we have no emotions (or that we need to acknowledge our emotions). We DO acknowledge our emotions. Most of us are even comfortable with our emotions. We just don't parade them around for everyone to look at.
@@yosoyelqueso I'm struggling to connect your first point with the rest of what you're saying Are you saying that men are often emotional but that they shouldn't seek support when they're struggling, or be honest about how their feeling in relationships. Because that's dumb as hell, that's exactly the reason the male suicide rate is so much higher than it is for women's. Do you feel women have a stronger need to "parade around" their emotions? Given that you see it as optional, why is it more acceptable for one gender to act on their feelings than another? Your choice of language suggests you view such behaviour in contempt, why?
I also know a lot of men that genuinely are struggling, and who won't go to therapists, and who expect romantic relationships to make all their problems go away.
Men deal with emotion differently and their normal means of handling them, with very close mates, has been closed down due to pub industry being damaged and by anywhere a man wants to go to be vulnerable is apparently sexist, because women have to be allowed everywhere men are including inside their heads. You realise that men have for the longest time been breadwinners so women selected men who could provide and rejected those who couldn't. Men aren't going to be vulnerable with every Tom, Dick and Harriot. They're vulnerable with those who they trust implicitly, and no one else. Stopping men from having space with people who they trust is where the mental health crisis begun. And why you like seeing men cry is for one of two reasons; either they have completely trusted you to be vulnerable with you, or you like your men under your boot.
@@deludedjester I don't think that is the only place the mental health problem began, men do deal with emotions on the whole differently and we don't need the whole world to know - it is usually a very private thing and that can be a problem for men that don't have an outlet and so don't seek help - fact is, you can't change us, you can't make us comfortable with other people wanting us to open up to them that we don't want to. The female solutions to these problems just cause men more problems and taking away our shared spaces, calling everything men do together toxic masculinity and feminists are constantly attacking male only and male dominated spaces makes everything worse because now men don't have spaces we feel comfortable being vulnerable with people we feel comfortable being with.
Makes me laugh how Nish tries to reel in woke sensitiviy as Geoff's points don't fit into this man shaming neo liberal narrative that this programme loves to pish!
very funny unlike the host who ironically has no masculinity and gets offended by OAPs throwing bread buns at him . see you at the Melbourne comedy festival Nish where the unfunny comedians go to die
Oisín Dolan find it hard to believe you’re a nice person because you find it unfathomable that people who don’t share your special political allegiance could be likeable, because you’re so damn virtuous
Nish just doesn't get it, and he's crying inside at your answers...if he was a real man like he seems to think he is, he'd be crying at how upset you've made him...
There's nothing "problematic" about encouraging men to own their own emotions and realise their strengths, labelling masculinity as toxic and shaming men for just being exactly how they were meant to be has done nothing but increase suicide rates, weird how its an issue to tell men to be amazing and strong but its definitely not an issue how most modern men have low self esteem from being treated like crap all the time
@@piratesfan123 I think the aim of 'toxic masculinity' as an idea is to highlight the pressures on men to act a certain way (eg bury their feelings) in a way that has a negative impact on them. Men can be stoic or emotional - whatever, but it's the pressure in one direction that's the problem. Feminism has often presented things as women being the victims and men being tje nasty ones, and highlighting that men/boys get put under pressures to behave in a certain way is no bad thing I think the term though is often used just to shame individual people, which isn't helpful. I thought the video was funny and I'm also pretty sure Nish is setting him up for a lot of those jokes. He's in on it if you ask me, and playing his role to bounce off of the other dude

This is the best comedy I've seen on MSM for a long long time.
As an A level teacher - I used to tell my students to "man up" on a regular basis.
