Nigel, you are so right about these punning Chinese restaurant names! I live in Edinburgh, and there’s a Chinese restaurant near me by the name of “Wok Ness”, with a picture of the Loch Ness Monster disguised as a Chinese dragon 🐉. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I visited Jerusalem a couple of years ago, and it occurred to me that you could have a Chinese kosher restaurant there (they do exist btw) called the Ho Lee Lan (Holy Land, geddit?)

That phenomenon occurs in the US as well but is regionally dependent. For example, I live in NYC. Here all Chinese restaurants have Mandarin or Cantonese names, most don't even have English characters on their signs. I travel for work occasionally throughout the mainland. There are some hysterical restaurant names in the areas with very few Chinese people. Especially the midwest and south. Some of my favorites that I have seen were No Mo Tofu, Chow and Maine, King of Chongqing, Humpty Dumplings, Kung Food, and my personal all time favorite, Phat Dong. If you were to get take away from Phat Dong, the containers all say "It really fills you up!" on the side. *Edited to correct spelling error

I love how he chooses topics that have a very bloody and violent history intentionally, presenting them satirically is an art. English school curriculums (from what I remember) gloss over the harsh realities of Colonialism. Comedy is nice way for people to be introduced to the horrors their ancestors committed - you can hear how uncomfortable the laughter was when he made that comment about spices. Although, I agree with a few of the other comments. He really held back this time, I wish he hadn't done that lol

I feel like British people sometimes laugh out of nervousness when they get roasted by comedians because they want to like laugh at themselves to ease tension, but I think sometimes the nervous laughing causes some jokes to just go r/whoosh which doesn't make them sit and think on it afterwards.
