British humor is always addictive.
For example, "Black Bookstore", "IT Madman", "Yes, Minister" and "French Pavilion" have been recommended...
These dramas that laugh at the death must not be watched while eating, otherwise they will spray rice.
The British drama introduced next is similar to the drama mentioned above, but it is not only funny, but the key is to help everyone clear the minefield of learning English!
It's this --
《Please speak Mandarin》
Mind Your Language
A classic British drama older than "Yes, Minister".
Although decades have passed, the memes in it are still not outdated, and they burst into laughter every time they look at it.
A total of four seasons, 9.3-9.5 points on Douban.
IMDb 8.7 points.
The story tells the story of foreigners learning English in various countries in the seventies, involving various homophonic terriers, accent terriers, religious memes, political memes...
Although it seems that some of them are outdated now, the plot setting of Sheng in this play is very clever, often reversed, reversed, and reversed, so it is still a classic today.
First of all, Ali from Pakistan came to sign up to learn English, and he stepped on the thunder as soon as he opened his mouth, the most basic kind.
The headmaster, apparently already aware of this, immediately understood the meaning and guided him verbatim to the classroom to wait.
But she forgot who would learn English if she could understand it!
So, she had to say it again very slowly in the simplest sentence,
Unexpectedly, it was about to succeed, but it was ruined by the word "right".
After finally succeeding, the principal with a strong heart understood that this class of students was no different from the previous one, and she secretly expected that the new teacher would be a female teacher with perseverance.
Because the male teacher of the last semester could not stand it after only working for a month, and the insanity crawled out of the classroom window...
However, the new teacher is Mr. Brown, who is warm-hearted, gentle and cute, and has great confidence in himself.
Teacher Brown, who was ready for everything, stepped into the classroom confidently.
But as soon as he introduced himself, he was corrected by student Ali, but fortunately, the principal took the vaccination in advance, and everything was within the tolerance.
Next, start the registration roll call, if you ask Mr. Brown, what is the most crushing moment in his life?
I think he will definitely answer, by name and register this moment.
The lengthy name of Marcos the Greek made his head big;
Giovanni, an Italian, has an unstandard accent that causes him to consume countless brain cells;
But that's all good, and it's great compared to the next challenge.
The Indian Jemila opened her mouth as if she was speaking an alien language, and she couldn't understand it at all; Fortunately, Mr. Brown had a clever move, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, then the writing is always done?
No, because the text is also a book of heaven, and I can't understand it at all!
And in just a few minutes, his hearing also decreased.
When Singh, an Indian, said he believed in Sikhism, he heard that his adult family was sick.
The accent problem is only a very small aspect, along with the headache of race and religion.
Anna, a German, and Chojitaro, a Japanese, argued with each other that their country was the most efficient nation;
And Ali of Pakistan and Singh of India taunted each other as soon as they spoke, and if someone hadn't pulled them, they would definitely be able to fight.
Thinking that these were bad enough, the principal gave another needle, saying that these are not troublesome, and the most troublesome is the production of foreign beauties.
As soon as the words landed, Danielle from France came.
As soon as she arrived, Italians, Spaniards and Greeks flocked to her.
And in the coming time, our Brown teacher will be prodded in various ways.
There is verbal prodding;
Deliberately prodding;
Behavior is provocative, and so on.
In short, the accents of various countries are intertwined, and the dramatic conflicts are layered after layer, and the comedic effect produced is still worth playing with.
Although most of the characters in it are deliberately stupid, due to the actors' performance ability and the rendering of the plot, the pompousness is more funny and cute.
Unlike some dramas, it is obviously cute, but it makes the audience feel stupid and embarrassed.
For example, the principal told Mr. Brown that an African student was coming and another inspector was coming.
As everyone guessed, Mr. Brown managed to confuse the characters.
And in front of each other, bluntly criticize each other.
But when the identity is finally revealed, you think that the inspector is going to give a bad review, but the other party says that he is too happy and does not hesitate to praise it.
Change to a general comedy, and that's the end of it, but the reversal of this show always has an extra layer.
When Mr. Brown learned from the principal that it would be a female student, he walked into the classroom and sure enough, there was a black girl.
The heart that was hanging before immediately put down, and immediately told the other party about his magical experience.
But as he spoke, he found that the other party knew the inspector better than himself, and even knew his name.
As soon as he asked, the heart that had just been put down began to hang again.
In this drama, in addition to being funny, we can see all kinds of problems encountered in English learning.
When Greeks with a big problem with accents learn pronunciation, they complain about the complexity of English pronunciation.
The Spaniard, who would not give up answering the question at all, but was lucky enough to say the right thing by mistake.
In order to cope with the mock test and prevent this course from being aborted, the teacher helped the student cheat, but in the end it was found that the answer copied was the year before last!
But when you think it's all over, the students' grades are surprisingly good...
Due to the age, although there is no lack of British stereotypes about various countries at that time,
For example, French schoolgirls always fantasize all day to seduce teachers, Indian and Pakistani students always clash over various religions, and Chinese students (harmony)...
But even with these, the show is still a classic.
Because the screenwriter does not regard the audience in front of the screen as superficial and stupid people, the lines and portrayal of the characters in it are worth scrutinizing.
For example, in the episode where the teacher recognizes the wrong parents, combined with the embarrassing fate in the starring reality, it is obviously a comedy performance, but it is sad to watch.
It's tough to keep viewers from getting bored episode after episode, but the show does it all.
Sometimes I am amazed at the screenwriter's deep insight into the language learning process and the talent of comedy creativity.
All in all, watching this drama is the end of laughter.
