@@SB-ou5ypThat's a "b" word!
@@themaggattack Did the A" word right after it. Not as clean as we thought, huh?
Precisely!!
Yep and not a single funny one! Well done Lenny.
That is facts but It's not a Jamaican thing. It's a Caribbean thing. I am from the French West Indies. He needed to finish the speech. The complete speech was "I am not doing this for me, I am doing this for your own good. This hurts me more than it hurts you."🤣🤣
As a black American, we just say the last part. That's interesting.
My father would give my brother and I a speech as he kicked our butts... I'm going to teach you to be a man! A man! A man! 🤣🤣🤣 I'd be thinking, I got it the first time!!
White South East London families also did this too.
But it was always done with love . . . .
Mad kids more clever in trying to avoid it 😅😂
@@CraigGibbons-p4d Irish descent, by any chance?
Or the classic, mi nuh lick you yet or I'll give you something to cry for
❤ Sir LH, my favourite bits by him are the " Ms. Johnson" series, brilliant! 😂😂😂💫
All I can say is...yes, hands up dem children of dem first wave of jamaican parenting...you did wrong in London and you get the slap delivered first class from Northampton...classic...lol
Growing up as a child of Jamaican parents here in the UK, I can totally relate to the beatings.
Same 😂
It was for your own good 😁😨😭🤕
In Guyana it was just the same. We got licks in school and more licks at home for getting licks in school. I must be a survivor
It’s not just Jamaican parents.
@@brucebrand3068 (((hugs)))
"Yes. Chef!"❤
YOOOO!!! I knew I'd seen that dude somewhere! I used to love that show! I have to find it and stream it. Thank you!
Chef is the best thing he has ever done.
The dead pan delivery was brilliant in that show. I loved it. ❤
Brilliant man...loved the Lenny Henry show!
Lol
I never really got beaten, I got cussed nearly everyday 😂😂😂
How white of ya
Hey the licks we get ain’t dat bad ya nuh! I used to laugh too at me siblings😂😂
Lenny Henry showing what was funny in and of it's own time. Some of us...of a certain age... can only look back and say, "Yes, Lenny that was how it was!" Toady, we would have the Social Services on extra, extra overtime! Paper work and file case notes stacked to the ceilings. Then, home visits looking more like a long weekend staycation!
I love this man’s humor!
Always enjoyed Lenny Henry 😁
I loved him in the BBC TV show Chef.
That's the funniest I have seen Lenny Henry, ever!
He's so funny, and Chef! Is still a great sitcom.
Lenny Henry is a treasure.
Sir Lenny of comedy RESPECT
Growing up with Trinidadian parents I can understand the lix and I got stiff lix. Gwan Sir Lenny.
Top man our lenny.... Still can remember him doing Trevor McDOUGHNUT from the TISWAS days 😀😃😂
Yeh man, loved TISWAS, it was the best Saturday morning show I ever saw. That show was wall to wall Kaos and Lenny Henry was incredible on that show. Amazing 🔥🔥🔥
Champion 🏆
CHEF!!!! I LOVE HIM!!!
Pure talent
Love Lenny Henry!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆
Lenny Henry a national treasure
I like Lenny. It's nice to see a comedian talk about a subject rather than just attack certain groups or cry about being "cancelled".
Good memories ❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely brilliant. Life growing up in black families in the 60s and 70s. It's all changed now!
In what way has it changed ?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he is lovely , l haad realy good laugh. 👍
Loved him in the TV show Chef.
The legendary Donovan😂
HILARIOUS! 😂😂😂
The electric wire those were the days that’s why I had to behave myself even when I didn’t want to❤
I loved him in the black and white minstrels show
He says in retrospect he's embarrassed that he did that show. Too many reasons to list.................
National treasure Lenny
he still got it
He's still got it, funny
Legend is our lenny
Can't fault him 😂
Lol. Jamaican Super Nanny 😅
Proper comedian 😎🤣😂(mom "it's for your own good " ) hilarious.
Got slapped once but it was the LOOK That said it all
Where can a man get some Des O'Connor?? 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 love him
Worst beated is waking up to one my mum a specialist at that 😂😂😂
NO LIES DETTECTED, THE GOOD OLD DAYS. OH WELL.
I AM EMIGRATIN LENNY.
STILL got it.
I Met Dawn, 30 years later I met Lenny...In My record Shop where he was filming.
The subject of The 'Black and White Minstrel Show'. where he was a reverse Al Jolson.
Theres no excuse in my eyes smh, and I told him face to face!
Love Lenny Henry…rather Sir Lenny Henry.. yes he has been knighted.
The best upbringing we had the same in irish culture too funny
You are very funny, indeed!
Still funny years on.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Child abuse is "funny"?
We need Paul Chowdhry back at the Apollo, along with Imran Yusuf and Munya Chawawa. So many great british comedians nowadays! 😁
Nah.
❤CHEF!
Working Class Scottish kids from the same era apparently have similar parents when it comes to childhood punishment, Billy Connolly does a similarly brilliant take on it.
Before Britain was ready for an intelligent black man telling jokes (or even doing impressions) this guy existed. The model. Let's never forget it.
❤️🖤💚
When you grow up with WI parents you relate to his humour.
If your neighbour scolded you and you told your parents. You got more discipline from them. Those were the days of respect. Today, children are not afraid because they'll call the police.That's why we have so much juvenile crime.
The audience demographic at the Appolo has changed a lot since when I used to watch it
Same thing I said. Since when did the UK get an Apollo?
@ 😂 😂 😂 😂
Why do they beat us like that 😭
Misread biblical admonition. If you "spare the rod, and spoil the child". The ones believing in physical discipline didn't spare the rod. You hear some of these parents saying things like "bend the tree while it is young". Much of their "bendings" and beatings were sheer brutality and unforgivable. They might get a pass because what they did to their children was done to them by their ignorant parents. Break the cycle folks. Discipline your children without brutality. Liked Lenny but didn't find the beating jokes too funny. Just me ............
CHEF!❤
Yes , all that beating is why we are all in therapy now, using phrases such as "generational trauma" . 😃Lenny is indeed a national treasure no one brought to the forefront the story of the immigrant West Indian than he did. It's not about belly laughs but telling a story.
Speak for yourself!
I’m not suffering generational trauma. I got into grammar school, won a scholarship to one of the royal music colleges, ended up with 2 degrees and professional qualifications.
Because my strict Caribbean parents wanted me to have all the advantages they didn’t.
I’m immensely grateful.
Yeah, but all the kids were in the right school uniforms, and the rainbows stayed in the sky.
And the kids who sware their parents loved them and never "abused" them are self medicating and deleting.
@erothawilliams266 good for you! Some of us did not have that. A little compassion rather than boasting would be nicer.
@@erothawilliams266intergenerational trauma has no bearing on how successful you are, though it can do if you have poor mental health.
It’s about how well you function emotionally and healthy attachments. Some people feel life quality and mental health are better signifiers of ‘success’ than earning potential.
A lot of people struggle with addictions, maintaining happy or fulfilling interpersonal relationships, self esteem and often mental health as a result of childhood violence.
That’s great you did well for yourself, but as you must be probably aware, your success is more attributed to you, and maybe opportunities, rather than beatings. It doesn’t work for many more others.
It’s a great stand up set and Lenny is hilarious, but let’s be honest it’s good for humanity that we are moving away from modelling physical violence towards children in the home. 👍
Must be an island thing!! Dominicans do the same exact thing...in SPANISH 🤣🤣🤣
😂👏🏽😂👏🏽
There's an "Apollo" theatre in the UK?
Yep! 🇬🇧
Was wondering same thing? I thought this was NYC
Several.
💯
gutanga my friends. .. yerss ok lol
Ghanaian/parenting is the same.
Lenny Henry. I did not realise he is from Jamaica. I am not sure if a child needs discipline anyway but rather boundary settings!
I wish his dad would have thought twice on the night of conception
Beef patty did his thing.
Good clean comedy.
its a shame Lenny didn't continue with his impressions
My last name is Henry, too. Hmmm. Makes me wonder.
Shes probably responsible for the fact that you dont need to swear to be funny.
Lenny chip on his shoulder Henry. A real shame his parents came over here in the first place.
😅😅
Westerners end up in prison for a fraction of what Henry is describing
Using comedy to overcome pain is great but the trauma from the beating is still there - one day we will stop finding it so funny. I look forward to that.
We were beaten we have no trauma instead we have respect and work ethics unlike these kids of today
If you have a solution let’s hear it coz these entitled kids are out of control
If you're overcoming pain and trauma from your beatings then you were abused. To most of us it was just part of growing up. No pain or trauma added. It's amusing to me now, my Granny grabbing me and dragging me to the hedge to break a hibiscus branch to give me a whipping. Many of us are better because of it
You may have been abused, not just beaten. When I was growing up in Jamaica, parents still slapped us when we misbehaved, usually after we got "the look" or a verbal warning and disregarded both. The mothers on the avenue did have permission to slap any child, as we ate in any house we were in and basically treated all mothers as Mums. They all treated our wounds, kissed us better, and watched over us all as we played on the streets. They, of course, would tell our parents about the whooping and as Sir Lenny said, they would be thanked for ensuring that we were behaving.
To my knowledge, not one of my school mates or cousins or neighbour kids was ever beaten to a point that they have suffered from mental trauma.
I am so sorry that your treatment was so harsh, but I do credit the discipline for having kept me on the straight and narrow. People think that coming from Jamaica we all smoked weed......I laugh each time someone says this, as I picture my parent's faces if any of us had every tried the stuff. The disappointment followed by a proper whooping.
Well said.
Scottish parents
I’m surprised he was able to do this, given how oppressed he’s been all his life, never given any opportunities because Britain is sooooo ray sist
This video is so sad. Laughing at children
being violently assaulted. Really? L Henry
is hiding a lot of pain.
No wonder he never dated Black women!
They were masculine, violent n unloving.
Slavery has a lot to answer for 😥
It's such a shame that a proper real black comedian was never given such a platform like this to shine
Is Henry not a black man?
@@annainspain5176you missed the word “proper”. Only a certain type of so called black man is allowed to shine in the UK. They also love Frank Bruno!
@@jaijai5250 Well, sunshine, go do better. Let's see your shining career in comedy! We'll wait.
@@jaijai5250
How do you define "proper" and "black", for that matter?
No !!!!!!!
I tried to laugh, honest...
Wasnt even that funny tbh wanted to see him and didnt live up to expectations
Lenny Henry's comments about romesh raganathan being funny is as bad as Lenny Henry' becoming famous with his below average impressions of Frank Spencer and Mavis on new faces both have become famous by default
He's about as funny as toothache.
Adults physically attacking children is not funny. it's bullying and abuse and immoral.
Just realised. This guy is not funny at all.
As funny as a toothache 🙄🙄🙄
How is this bloke funny?
He is Not funny Really
I can remember a time when people thought that Lenny Henry was funny. I was never one, but that was about 40 years ago, so I thought I'd watch this to see if he has improved over the years. He hasn't.
ironically i find Lenny Henry to be hilarious.... especially when he was on Tiswas doing his Peter Bellemy impressions... but hey what works for one person dosn't work for all...
I feel the same way about Gervais.
@@reallymakesyouthink I thought that. People rave about the office I just thought it was drivel.
@@stephensmith1118*David Bellamy ☺️
@@chinablueliberty2822 alas my memory isnt what it was.... David Bellamy your right
Still unfunny but by british standards...its hilarious🙄
Lenny you are not and never have been funny, amen
🥱 bore off then
So you clicked on the video
And yet here you are.
If Jamaica is so good... why hasnt Henry moved there...?
Not funny👎🏻
Thanks for the very personal information. We're not interested in your memoir, so ta much for the brevity also. Cheers.
@@lysanamcmillan7972now that is funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So boring 🙄always has been, and talks about the same stuff 🙄
Not funny at all but a very racist hypocrite towards Britain. Horrid man.
You appear to not understand that for it to be racism there has to be a power imbalance. Are black people in charge on the UK?
stop talking nonsense. Britains whole history is based on racism!
Britain is literally the birthplace of racism
Nobody forced you to watch it. You clicked voluntarily.
@@ariaflame-aumost people don’t understand or even know the difference between racism and prejudice. They’re clearly unaware of the importance of power differentials, with the profound ability to negatively impact the lives of others. I suppose if something doesn’t affect you, then you’re not going to invest the time or energy to explore it.
Didn’t it turn out his Dad wasn’t his bio Dad?
How is that important?
Lenny Henry, just not funny
Spot on there mate 🙌
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Maybe you can do better. Much easier to criticise 😮
@ what do you call a deer with no eyes… no idea, you think I’ve got a chance?
@@andyreeves426 NO
Has there ever been a more unfunny “comedian”? Given an absolutely easy ride by the BBC for obvious reasons and he still has a huge chip on his shoulder!
