A similar situation happened in 2016 when a New Zealander tried to visit Kazakhstan and was accused of not being from a real country. To make matters worse, the map that border security provided was one that New Zealand hadn't been included on.

I'm not sure why anybody would be offended by this. The joke is ignorance. He is the joke.

"im on my lunchbreak now so anything you say dosent really count" killed me

the people who got this removed from online platforms like netflix are the purest example of not being able to interpret things within a context..total horse vision. Genius series

I was 14 traveling through Turkey and was questioned if Estonia is a real country brings back some memories 😂😂

The look on his face while she is berating him is pure gold. And she was pretty great too!

Season 2!!!! The world needs it, exactly as it was!

I'm a librarian, and I found this hilarious

“So, Mrs MUMBUTU” 😂

HAHAHA! *"One of my best friends... Is friends with a man who's black"* That is comedy gold right there

"In the future, you should travel with a large atlas or globe in order to prove to people you haven't made up your country."

"Don't know what rattled her cage" Haha, love how he slipped that in.

I do know a guy from Liechtenstein, and he has had this very problem at passport control in various places. He said that his decision to naturalize as a Swiss citizen when he got the chance was largely for the more recognizable travel documents.

It's a crime that we never got more than 1 season of this show.

This was an incredibly underrated show , some of characters were brilliant

Classic line after been caught out “I’ll do it this time” 😂😂

At least he knew how to pronounce the name. This is so professional for us in US.

Damn I miss this show so much, such a shame it only had one season. Ian was the funniest person on the show 😂😂

This was hilarious 😂 and I’m a person of color. Nothing offensive about making fun of people who are actually this ignorant and flaunt it.

mrs “MUMBUTU” gets me everytime XD

People like "Ian Foote" in customer service jobs all over the world! What a great mirror to society! David Walliams 😂😂😂

classic, love it. They are best one in comedy

Classic 😂😂😂 bring it back!

Love it. We need this show back. Probably not to be shown on BBC though lol

Priceless 🤣🤣

Gotta say, the black lady interpreted her role flawlessly 👏🏾👌🏿

The world always needs comedy 🌎😄🤣😂

Absolutely brilliant!!!

These guys are unbelievable! And they pinpoint serious situations through devastating humor! (Yeah, I know!) Best regards from Paris France 👍❤️ I want THAT ONE! 🥰🤣🤣🤣

I had this similar situation once when I was entering through Heathrow. This officer on a passport control desk said that he thought my British passport was fake, but that he was gonna 'let me pass ..this time'!! I'm not kidding... I was completely shocked... and this was on account of the fact that I am a dual citizen, and was proudly showing my other passport to him.. since I used it to leave my 'other' home country with. Silly me assumed that you're supposed to be kind and informative to them. You learn very quickly that to be a pompous upper class slob in front of these officials is your ticket to being kept out of their petty racist mind games!!!

Brilliant!😂😂😂😂

hahahahaha priceless and Ian's such a knob ! Love David Walliams 💙💙💙

I'm Kurdish from Northern Iraq and have spent just over half of my life in Italy. Both of my parents teach surgical techniques so I regrettably had to spent 3 years in an English school in the heart of Kent, England. The utter mind boggling gibberish similar to this uttered not only by the English kids but teachers too during those 3 years - well I could actually fill a good sized book with. The bit at the end when he tries to play down his mistake and almost judge her for being angry was what I went through on so many occasions. They make woefully ignorant remarks, and do so time and time again and then when you react post not being able to take it anymore, they'll judge you for overreacting or lashing out. One kid spent spent my entire first term making remarks like 'dirty Arab' (Told him many times that A. I'm not Arab and B. that's offensive), 'I bet you lived in tents before coming to the UK' (our house in Iraq is more like mansion) and then to top it off, he used to change the lyrics of the popular Christmas song and sing 'I'm dreaming of a white Britain, like the one I used to know' in front of the entire class with the teacher sat there not doing a thing. So when I challenged him to a fight after school and gave him a nosebleed, he got his parents to make a complaint and I got suspended for 2 days. I begged my parents to take us back to Italy as I just couldn't take it anymore. Even today, I feel so bitter that my childhood innocence was denigrated and stolen during those 3 years. I didn't even know what racism, acts of alienation and bullying was until after I left that school and began opening up and looking back. I'd grown up in the north of Iraq with Kurds, Turkmen, Assyrian as well as Arab kids. Not once did someone teach me to judge others on the basis of their nationality, how dark their hair was or how long their nose looked. Children have ignorance taught into them. Before I went to that school, I wouldn't have even known what bullying meant.

Great guys!

Come Fly With Me is a great show. Too funny.

I love this lady!!

Liberia you say....got a new one here Chris Liberia 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love this comedy 🤣

Love this show.

He should be dealing with the old dinghy divers lol😊!!

I once overheard my brother say to his friend "I'm not racist, I have a coloured TV" 😅

Lovely

"What rattled her cage?!" LOL..😂🤣

“Is that a new one Chris? Liberia?” 😂

Comedy gold!!

Brilliant

I loved "Little Britain". I regret missing out on this. I've definitely got some homework to do.

Comedy Gold! 😂

People, im a british Pakistani, and i must say that this is comedy gold..... No one should be offended, as these boys are not racist.... Love it, and miss it. Worlds gone mad, that we cant laugh at comedy anymore.....

Love that Casio Foot is wearing hahaha.

No word of a lie when my family emigrated to UK an immigration officer stopped us and said the visa we were on doesn't exist. In fairness his manager was so mad at him.

I absolutely LOVE Ellen Thomas. She was hilarious in Teachers.

Thankfully Ian is not typical. A group of us once stopped off in Amsterdam, while waiting for a connection to Rome. As we went through the gate, the Dutch immigration official said “Welcome to France”. It cheered us up. Why would anyone get angry at this video?

English humor. You gotta love it.

Haha brilliant

Love it

“Don’t know what rattled her cage” 😂😂

This is genius by David Walliams! I cannot believe it took me so many years to get the joke. I only just happened to watch Johnny Harris' video titled 'Where the U.S. Hides its Secrets'. LIBERIA!

Fabulous

😀😂very good

Perfect ✊🏻👍🏻

People outside the UK do this with the UK all the time. 😂 Some people think England is the UK and don’t even know where Wales is!

Brilliant.. 😁

I couldn't stop laughing 😅

Very entertaining

That gave me a good laugh 🤣🤣🤣

Gold 👑

This is hilarious. Unfortunately, so many in society these days would be too offended to let a show or joke like this be made anymore 😅

We need more Ian Foots

I thought he was going to say "I am friends with a racist" after saying he was not a racist

I took some of my uni friends on a trip to Ukraine, which involved a lot of confused people wondering what "Thailand" is (one of my friends was Thai). Luckily, it was mostly older people ...not the immigration control lmao

Brilliant comedy

Real-life American police and border patrol frequently have no idea New Mexico is one of the 50 states and not, in fact, part of Mexico.

😂😂😂😂genius

need this show back so funny ! XD

My A-Level Geography teacher actually used this video on a lesson about globalisation and migration back in the day, believe it or not.

This man is going to be re-assigned to the beaches in Kent! lol

Got a new one Chris. 😂😂

Ian Foot has now left UK Border Force and until recently headed up the immigration policy unit for Pritler Patel. True story. 😂

Damn I got excited. I thought they made a second season. RIP

0:20 my favourite line from him

Reminds me of not the nine-o-clock news with the trumped-up charges for mister Winston Codogo. Very similar

True story... Once finished with my studies in UK i had to book some luggage by air and the freight company employee did not know about Pakistan so i had to explain him it's a country beside India,😁

Got a new one Chris, Liberia. Hahahahah

something very similar happened to me afew years ago !

Ian, hahahaha, brilliant.

30 years ago checking in at Mexico City airport for Los Angeles the agent hadn’t seen and probably hadn’t heard of Ireland and had to check with her boss to make sure it was valid document.

In all my life I have never and I repeat NEVER seen anyone as talented, professional and hard working as Ian foot. He is simply the best immigration officer in this country. We need more like him.

So funny

I also have a friend, who knows a person who knows a Liberian. It happens.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

1:12. "...look on a map." *wiggle with head....😂

The lady is Mrs Johnson from the Lenny Henry sketches of "Donovan Bogart"

I love old good humour 😂😂😂

David Walliams plays this Ian Foot so well that, if that were to happen to me in real life, I would try my best to give the character a big boot as I leave the office.

Must be dwight's distant relative from the office 😝

A freind of mine worked for an international IT company. one day they got a sales order for Burkina Faso. he thought it was made up. Thought it was the other guys in the office making it up.

Not the same at all, yet slightly similar: I used to work for a large American company. Upon arrival at Newark, the CBP agent started asking me all sorts of questions, fair enough. Except, when he asked me who I worked for and I replied, he refused to believe me because I’m not an American and don’t speak like one. I honestly didn’t know if I should laugh, cry or educate him about how it’s possible to work for a foreign company, but then I realised he couldn’t help being stupid. A funny side note is that he later features in a documentary about the CBP’s work - and still acts like an idiot in front of the camera.

LOL. That's the Poms for you.

I like how he trims his nose 😊
