@@ricksantos1580 they dont take it as backward. Usually their wish in life is that their kids will study well and turn their situation around in one generation. When that happens, obviously the 2nd and 3rd generation dont have much incentive or need to improve their family situation because the 1st generation already did it
@@nharry30 bruh hope you’re coping well with that. My brother failed too and he practically got disowned for a few months. It took a long time for me to convince my parents that this kind of shit is barbaric and inhuman. They didn’t even apologize, just pretend like it didn’t happen.
Could be worse, a friend of mine did seven years of medical school, qualified as a doctor and realized he didn’t want to do it. He had to go back to college for another three years afterwards.
LOL the part when the dad goes 'mr sinha's son got ALL A's.' Hahhahaa that is so typical of Indian parents to compare. Love this show! This and Mind Your Language were absolutely hilarious!
GGM is wonderful. Yes, it's more intellectual that Citizen Khan - which is also good in it's own way. Don't compare Apples to Oranges. From a Jewish Admirer.
Susan Wind Citizen Khan is complete shite, GGM was extremely clever and was a comedic narration of British South Asian culture in the 90's and it done it perfectly. Citizen Khan is just cheap laughs based on stereotypes which aren't even accurate, not in the 70's or now.
For Indians, comparing each other children continues your entire life. Academics, sports, jobs, marriages, holidays, grand-children, funeral procession - it never lets you go.
My school report came.......I got all A grades, when my dad saw the one B I got he threw the report at my mum and told me I was a failure!!!!!!!!!!! We all laughed our butts off!!! This is all so true..x
Mohammed Ashraf I agree with you this programme is MUCH BETTER than Citizen Khan...the writer for that program is CRAP! It could be such a good program if dummy Adil Ray wants.
a trip down memory lane - the path to which i've been trying to forget for the past five years. the problem is that nothing has changed - i'm 21 now and my dad wants a phd from me by 23 :(
I got an E once because the teachers didnt like giving out F. I think 7,8,9 and grade 12 I had quite a few d's and f's. at the time not much different than now I couldn't have cared any less. Haha I was bad. Haha I gave my poor mother fits!
thats my life totally in the early days. but my mum kinda slowed down or back off when she saw wot i really wanted to do but when somethin needs to be done, it has to be done now whether its studies or combin my hair lol. my dad still asks me (sumtimes as a joke sumtimes serious) y did i not wanna be a vet anymore? this sketch makes me laugh but man, black ppl totally like that as well.
@Yallaroo I was always under the impression that Australia was considered to be a Western country, despite it's geographic location (which is what Australasia refers to,) because of it's values, culture and such.
@BestXGrip This skit is from the UK were South Asians are simply known as Asian, unlike in North America, Australia, etc. So not all western countries exclude Indians from Asian. (though most do)
OMGOODNESS!!! Watching this is making me nervous for my upcoming A-level results in January 2011. And what is worse is that i am 18 and I am only doing 4 A-levels. Delete this before my parents get a hold of this. HAHAHAHAHAHA^^ This is hilarious and somewhat sad cause a part of this is trueT_T Well, at least the mother was supportive.
Mr Owen's son is getting into Liverpool, but my son can only get a place in Milwall, he will bring shame to the family.... notin short of genius comedy
As an Asian i can confirm this is 101% accurate.
ASAD ULLAH MAAN yes 😂😂😂
make that 201%
my parents were nothing like this.
Lol
Only 101%? You bring shame to our community!
Asian grading system:
A - Average
B - Below Average
C - Crap
D - Death
F - F***ed
Soooooo true. >_>
More like F = fucking get out of my house
What about E? Excommunicated?
I see American Asian parents and British Asian parents are exactly alike. an A- is an "Asian F" in the U.S.
+Liz b - To be fair this is largely 1st Generation (immigrant parents) most 2nd and definitely 3rd Gen dump this backward mindset....

I almost got disowned for getting a rejection from Cambridge. Dire times.
Imagine failing medical school... God that was grim 😭
Those are still things to be proud of too. Imagine failing regular old crappy college. Thank god I've matured since those days.

They put into our minds from the first moment that he might be a college student, then they suddenly say he's 6. Omg. LOLOLOL
Spoiler alert! lol
A = Avoided Beating
B = Beating
C = Choking
D = Death
"But Liverpool wouldn't give him a trial!"
"AND WHY IS THAT?!"
*slams table* "BECAUSE HE'S 6!!"
We are the champion ..
Mr. Owen's son got into Liverpool, therefore Michael Owen is playing for Liverpool - Michael Owen
+765sanjay Michael Owen, Indian
"He should be doing a phd!" lol
This brings backs good memories, when comedy was good. The good old days were great !
how is it after 5 years now?
I've seen this video a 100 times over the last so many years, and it's always funny
If I'm feeling down, a GGM or Chewin the Fat sketch always does the trick. Brilliant
Brings back lots of memories. Timeless comedy. Thankyou,BBC & GGM team!
Do you workout?
LOL the part when the dad goes 'mr sinha's son got ALL A's.' Hahhahaa that is so typical of Indian parents to compare. Love this show! This and Mind Your Language were absolutely hilarious!
I remember this sketch so clearly - was listening out for the end line - comedy gold!

It is sad that it's too old and picture quality looks grainy. No gonna be able to see in 2018 even if I have means to.
Agreed with many here Citizen Khan is alot of cheap laughs. GGM was pure gold.
‘LOOK, IT’S OUR SON JAMĀL! OR SHOULD I SAY JUDAS?!’
GGM is hilarious. Citizen Khan was awful. It could have been brilliant but it failed.
Far too accurate :/
Because he is six! ahahhaha
Hilarious many many years ago and still hilarious now..wish it would come back but too many ppl would be on twitter complaining
BECAUSE HE'S SIX!
LMAO Didn't see that commin'!
The last bit got me laughing the hardest!
"BECAUSE HE'S SIX!!!"
LOL!!! XD
Lmaooo never get tired of this sketch!
Because he's six!!!!! Funniest climax ever!
Liverpool should give him a trial, he'd be better than Benteke.
Kulvinder Ghir is my best friends uncle and I met him when I was 10 really nice man.
Real Indian parents....hilarious hahaha
😊loved watching this show...miss it
"Millwall..Millwall..Millwall!!! MR OWEN's son is getting into Liverpool!!"

I knoooow. That is why I was asking him to do his degree in his SPARE TIME.
Dude your son is a genius 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Be glad he didn't get an A-....my family never recovered!
Rolling Thunder we don’t have A- in uk
You brought shame to your family. :(
For Indians, comparing each other children continues your entire life. Academics, sports, jobs, marriages, holidays, grand-children, funeral procession - it never lets you go.
This is probably the funniest sketch on this show
They sound like my mother.. not only you must get straight A's but with the +, never come home with the minus -, oh boy that's trouble hahahahhahahaha
The ending absolutely killed me!
My school report came.......I got all A grades, when my dad saw the one B I got he threw the report at my mum and told me I was a failure!!!!!!!!!!! We all laughed our butts off!!! This is all so true..x

A video of my childhood perhaps will be a better sketch!!
Lol this happens a lot in Malaysia...especially his hand gesture
"other students did 2 A-level, our son did 5".. "Really...? ... then he's studying in a school full of idiots!!!" ... LOL
a trip down memory lane - the path to which i've been trying to forget for the past five years. the problem is that nothing has changed - i'm 21 now and my dad wants a phd from me by 23 :(
So did you get the PhD?
HAAAA i shat my pants when the mum said " BECAUSE HE'S SIX!"

LOL, you think it's gonna be the same old jokes about grades in Asian families, then at 1:50, ehehe, x] have to watch this over & over!! X3
This is exactly how my dad used to be. Good times...
Playing for Millwall would shame any family
'shame on the family!' lol u neva stop hearin that.
Lol. Hilarious. It's funny seeing Nina Wadia in this before she plays Zainab in EastEnders.
Well, this shit gave me clinical depression but at least I did well at school.
Perfect ending
Exactly what I go through with my report in school wen I give it to my dad !
"Mr Owen's son is getting into Liverpool" .. god this show's jokes were awesomely intelligent

FUCKING EPIC. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS IN ASIAN FAMILIES
I got an E once because the teachers didnt like giving out F. I think 7,8,9 and grade 12 I had quite a few d's and f's. at the time not much different than now I couldn't have cared any less. Haha I was bad. Haha I gave my poor mother fits!

@dickrebel Here in the UK, "Asian" refers to Indian/Pakistani primarily.
omg i cracked when she said "BECAUSE HE'S 6!!!" LMAO
This was my dad every time he saw my report card 🤣🤣🤣 (dad's Pakistani, mom is white American from Alabama)
LMAO exactly like my folks back in the day, got it right down to a T
@skaterkid901 same my parents were like "Why not an A?" ahah.

He is going to school full of idiots 🤣😅🤣 Oh man I've heard this before.
LOL yep, thats deffo typical asian parents
hilarious!
