Aaahhh...the good old days...

Ian Paice was easily the best rock drummer of that era.

Ginger wasn't trying to win popularity contests. But without a doubt was a master at his craft. He arranged music for Grahm Bond, Cream and Air Force. He did more than just play. His influence as a musician from the sixties on ,will last for more than his time on earth.

The best scene from the best British comedy ever produced.

Quality Dialogue! haha

Wonderful wit and a wonderful world that could still laugh at itself before the onset of wokesterism - precious, pretentious and patronising.

im offended by Majors pension pot. Living out his days in a hotel.

Perhaps a point we should seriously consider is that this brilliant humour is now actually banned.

joe biden on his down time

The nearest you'll get to fascism is the fact that the BBC won't ever show it again

bloody morons and clickbait titles are everywhere now

But he said the actual N word It's not acceptable, even in context. It's not that long ago

Brilliant !

Its not a racist rant. It was comedy. Still is if youre not made of tissue paper

Very clever skit. Nimble writing and directing!

My way of justifying this scene is “sometimes you just have to let grandpa shitpost”. The Major is old and confused, so him using outdated racial terms whilst babbling on about nonsense makes sense. This scene is meant to be funny, not offensive.

Is it me or is this guy acting circles around jc?

The woke handwringers will be having a lie down after watching this, go woke & take the whole fun out of living, I feel sorry for their kids, growing up with no sense of humour & never learning how to enjoy life, like robots.

Absolutely appalling and disgusting thankfully these sorts of things are no longer allowed to be tolerated by a majority of more intellectually minded individuals

Racist …??????? for god’s sake calm down

Not racist at all. Response to video only.

Basil should of taken over Cleese for training films! What ! Yes! The rude uncaring blunt and unfeeling nature of someone in the service industry. I think thats what we all need😂

Pure art in acting timing and script writing. Sadly missing from the screen today.. So many different people nationalities professions age groups and both sexes this comedy pokes fun at, mostly the English, it is always this sketch that is brought to everyones attention

Still one of the funniest shows ever.

Does he remind anyone of Joe Biden?

So good 😂

Racist the most overused word in history ..it has no meaning anymore

Masterfully written and delivered.

Is that Joe Biden

Not racism but attitudes of a generation and national sentiment during wartime.

Very funny indeed, the Beeb cut this from the re-runs; the beginning of the end

Racist and sexist ..brilliant ..

Back when we made our own world-view moral decisions without being harangued, lectured or even cancelled. For those who don't get it we were meant to disagree in this exchange, even laugh at the Major and his opinions. No wonder current left-wing comedy is shite

In the OED wog was an anachronism for wily oriental gentleman

Love it

Brilliant comedy dialogue, just remember all those who are offended he is acting and he is damn good at it as well.

Brilliant 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Did he call the Germans a bunch of cunts?

The major was a fantastic character, as was the builder and Manuel, all brilliantly cast. A show of it's time, a very different England, Elderly folks living out there days in Eastbourne, Torquay, Brighton, having done their industrial grind/ whack, fought for king and country, earned their retirement. Today's all walking sticks, notability cars, sick note and mental health, goodness knows how this is all affordable .😬😬😬

I don't find this funny Prefer Bernard manning

Modest as well....they buried Ginger in 3 caskets, one for him and two for his ego...

The major was definitely a racist bastard. But this is comedy making fun of a racist by letting him show how stupid he is

This isn’t racist because the joke is on the major, taking the mick out of old people rather than actually being offensive. If you don’t find it funny then fine, but people shouldn’t round telling people what they can and can’t find funny.

Fawlty Towers was arguably the funniest TV sitcom of all time, but it probably wouldn't be aired today for PC reasons. Same with Laurel and Hardy. Their films would probably be banned for poking fun at people who weren't that bright.

People in the comments saying the people offended by this are snowflakes: 399 People in the comments being offended: 0

Pure class

Boris Johnson reminds me of the Major, Boris less funnier though

I feel the impact of this scene is exaggerated by its controversy. in a show full of absolute classic moments (this episode being one of the best), this scene isn't particularly funny. No one would ever talk about it if not for the racist terminology.

Forgot it was as brutal in terminology. Crazy that you could say this on TV in the 70s compared to now.

Can't help but wonder if The Major wasn't a major influence on Fast Show's, Rowley Birkin QC.
