    As an Australian, the bit when Alan says "Give us a call when you've run your first race" is probably the most Aussie thing I've heard. He nails it. The accent, the dry tone when he says it, just perfect.

    Alan’s Australian accent is so authentic, he doesn’t overplay it like so many other comedians, it’s just the right amount of bogan without sounding ridiculous.

    Weren't there Jazz Nazis? Or I guess they weren't Nazis, since the Nazis banned a lot of entertainment. Before them, Weimar Germany was a golden age for entertainment and jazz was huge, but the Nazis hated it because it was foreign and was "created by an inferior race". But there was underground jazz, including in concentration camps. If I remember correctly, the Kaiser wasn't a fan of early jazz in the WW1 era.
    But I admit when I started writing this comment, I was thinking of Soviet Russia, not Nazi Germany. There was an underground jazz subculture in Soviet Russia that copied jazz music onto records pressed on used X-ray film (because it was a firm enough plastic I guess), and because of the pictures on the X-rays, they called it "bone music" (roentgenizdat), "ribs" (ryobra), or "jazz on bones" (dzhaz na kostyakh).

      I can't imagine that there was jazz in concentration camps. It is true that in some instances, musical instruments were given to prisoners for limited use. Films have played this up on a couple occasions. But jazz in the prisoner housing blocks? I'm very doubtful.
      In the Soviet Union ... Yes. Absolutely. It wasn't officially sanctioned, but many things weren't and still were commonplace.

      @@VestigialHead that's like saying how is it racist to do a black and white minstrel show, it's just an impression. There is a whole tradition and history of racism that you are apparently completely ignorant of. Maybe ask yourself why none of these impressions have good english with a foreign accent, instead always being monosyllabic, broken english baby talk. A coincidence? Maybe ask yourself where these caricatures come from, where you've seen them before, and what attitudes have they always gone hand in hand with.

      I just think that racism is actual racism and not the petty bullshit that the extreme left think it is.
      Abusing someone because of their race - racism,
      segregation due to race - racism,
      excluding someone due to race - racism.
      Imitating them in a show - not racist in anyway. This is as ignorant as claiming that someone wearing an Indian headdress to a fancy dress party is cultural appropriation. It is a massive overreach and exaggeration to mark everything as racism even when it causes zero harm and does not degrade a race in the slightest. As you should well know the extreme left use racism as a weapon to try to shut down their opponents and they have manipulated people into thinking the most ridiculous things constitute racism.

      "Gook" was never really a commonly-heard racial epithet in British English. It is very much an American thing. In Britain, it would be known mostly through American movies and television shows. In this clip, it was said while doing a parody of a dated accent which IS out of American movies. They are making fun of that. In this context, there's nothing really offensive about it, is there.

I don't wanna be that guy that just says 'just ignore them' or something, but there is something to say about kids parroting out slurs before they are told not to by someone else. I think it's people's reactions to them that form whether a word is 'bad' or not. I wasn't allowed to say 'stupid' when I was a child, yet I went to elementary school saying 'n-word pile' because that's the version of 'dog-pile' I was familiar with as a kid. No wonder my teachers looked at me funny.
