You are in a pickle Ashley. Comparing English people to brown, gooey, sandwich spreads is quite racist and you are starting to look like Kramer. You will have to send Richard Pickle cash to atone.

I note though, in fairness, that everyone is obsessing about Kramer but they ignore that he was just doing like Borat = being racist in order to draw out the true nature of those he taunts and tempts. The situation is so similar that both Borat and Kramer racism are in the context of comedy shows. Comedy depends on getting at the truth of things which lurk behind the facade of everyday normality, especially when that normality is based on false things, and people are trying to avoid unpleasant truths.

Video here at Youtube: youtube.com

Kramer got angry and was so involved with his situation that he himself didn't know that he was just doing the comedian thing = digging behind the facades.

What he got out of the uncharming melanin-rich protagonists was the call "That was uncalled for you f---ing cracker-ass mother-f---er". "F---ing white boy". "We'll see what's up".

Kramer was saying, showing he was aware of the shock value and facade and that he thought he was cutting through pretence with rant and rave:
"Alright, you see, this shocks you, it shocks you. To see what's buried beneath your stupid motherf---ers unintelligible"

"What's the matter? Is this too much for you to handle?"

Great fun. Some of the audience were laughing and it was a bit funny for the insulted one to come straight back with racist rants of his own, showing that Kramer had in fact hit the right button and did in fact show the racist lurking beneath the other person.

I note that nobody has picked up on the racist rants which Kramer elicited. He did a better job than he realized and is now doing the mea culpa thing, yet he was the one originally insulted by way of rude interruption to his show.

White man guilt! Terrified of being a racist, but the black man got away with being as racist, and is now so ridiculous as to be demanding money from Kramer. Hilarious.
