Goodness Graciouse me: Going For An English

This episode involves an sterotypical indian family going for an english dinner at a resturant. The video, exaggerates the stereotype of whtie people typically "going for an indian", however by creating a role reversal, where indians go for an english. This creates humour as the indinan characters mock white peoples taste in food, the way they act and their inability to pronounce indian names amongst other things.
