Has anyone been watching Harry & Paul? I've found it mostly funny - there are some duff sketches but I reckon about 75-80% is pretty great. Anyway I've just seen on the news that the Phillipines are unhappy about one of the sketches:

Is it me or are they completely missing the point? Surely the underlying comedy is poking fun at southerners' attitudes towards northerners/foreigners? Have pasted links to some relevant sketches below:

My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We’ll see about that.

Re: Harry & Paul
Marty, I absolutely hoot at some of their sketches. Others leave me cold.
They are both very talented comedians and writers. I just wish they would include Charlie Higson in some of their work again.
