    Beehive is a British sketch comedy series which was broadcast in 2008. It stars Australian comedian Sarah Kendall and British comedy actresses Alice Lowe, Barunka O'Shaughnessy and Clare Thomson, who wrote much of the show's material. Producer Siobhan Rhodes stated prior to production that the show would be about funny women, who do not feature regularly on TV.[1] The show also features Habib Nasib Nader and Jack Whitehall.[2]

      In fact, the reason there is a United Kingdom is because Queen Elizabeth of England died childless so her cousin, Mary, Queen of Scots' son, James the Sixth of Scotland inherited the English throne.

      Flights and airports don't give you an unbiased sample of people to judge their behavior. The reason is trumptards, being uneducated and working-class, are less likely to fly than middle class people. If you go to a place infested with trumptards you will notice their violence is not related to alcohol consumption but to their racism and stupidity. It surprises people to discover that trumptards don't consume much alcohol - their favorite drink is American beer, very low in alcohol and urine-tasking (Coors is their favorite thanks to the Coors company past sympathies with racism.)

    I swear the actress playing the vegetarian passenger at 2:10 has been on things such as Bo Selecta, Extras, some Christmas adverts for Boots, Motherland and The Mighty Boosh to name a few!
    She kind of reminds me of the beleaguered work colleague in those office sketches from The Catherine Tate Show (series 1 & 2) with the annoying co-worker, who is pressured by the latter to "have a guess!" Then has to bear the brunt of her bothersome colleague's insults, snooping and more physical nasty behaviour such as having a milkshake poured into her head.
    The two air hostesses both remind me of the annoying, co worker character (played by Tate), same facial expressions/mannerisms and pestersome hectoring & bitchy manner.

      This is not so far from the truth. When I was a child on a long-haul flight, not only was the vegetarian meal disgusting and had to be pre-ordered during booking. We used to get really dry fruit cake or just a piece of fruit instead of the chocolate mousse or chocolate cake the other customers would get. As a child that was torture. They never used to have any extra desserts to swap either. So we just ate the sour grapes and wished we had packed more snacks.

    Still kak myself laughing whenever I seen this. Sure, the accents may swing from attempted(and sometimes exaggerated) Afrikaans lapsing back into English occasionally, but funny nevertheless. The" childless single" passenger is obviously Australian where the rest are English. It's good to see some Afrikaners seeing this skit for what it actually is - a joke. Nothing more. Nothing less.

      @@DanDownunda8888 Every Afrikaans person I have worked with displayed idiocy. I think it is the fact that Afrikaans people are so aggressive that makes them come across as dumb. I've talked to a few Afrikaans people about this and they said it's because South Africa is so violent, you have to always assume the worst and display aggression so people are less likely to target you. Also, their culture is 80 years behind European cultures, so that makes them look dumb and backwards.

And for all the people claiming that the English-speaking South African accent is Australian and British, please take a seat! You have NO CLUE what either of those accents sound like, clearly!
