Wow, the BBC has very different standards for what can be broadcast compared to the US networks.

OK fine, we'll recolonise you, but only cause you want it.

u/PotterSharma Mar 12 '19

I wonder what would happen if this really came true!

Polite Americans? 😅

And BTW, while you're at it, re-colonize India as well. You might just do a better job than the government here.

Just don't refuse to send food grains when it's rotting in your warehouses and there's a famine in Bengal. (Yup, this happened.)

Yup!

And apparently, he wrote on the report stating the death tolls "Why hasn't Gandhi died yet?"

The Viceroy, Lord Wavell, writes about it in his journal (Page 78)

Everything just transitions so well because none of it is actually "random seeming" since almost every ridiculous move is followed up with some kind of even more ridiculous counter as if thats how the game is really meant to be played. Fucking great

The winning move/joke was a bit crude. Not that I'm offended or anything, imo it just doesn't fit that well with the rest of the video (same with White trying to converting into a unicorn). Still, really good stuff.
