Is he wearing a coconut? SCREENGRAB

The US Consulate General Karachi has provided us with a plethora of hilarious videos; from the American employees eating mangoes desi style, to filming their reactions to Taher Shah's Angel.

In their latest video, the employees watch an episode (Basheera in Trouble) of Pakistan's favourite '90s comedy show, Fifty-Fifty.

Some employees struggle to comprehend what the actors are saying as they constantly switch between broken English and Urdu.

"I don't think that's English," says one confused American.

Another employee notes the sweet hairstyles the Pakistani actors flaunt. "Check out the hair," he says.

One has a rather apt observation about nearly every Pakistani show to date -- "All of the women in this movie are sad."

Others appreciated the hilarious music and sets. "I want this soundtrack," says one, while the other notes, "The sets are amazing."

They also notice that an actor's turban may have been wrapped around a coconut. "Is he wearing a coconut?" he asks.

One of the US consulate employees absolutely nails being Pakistani though, when she says, "Mostly, I like Pakistani dramas. Hamsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai. They both have Fawad Khan."

pakistani | 7 years ago | Reply These diplomats are fantastic. Pakistan and America have been allies for six decades, the attempts to create animossity are nuts. I wish more amercians could come to Pakistan (safely) and we could have a normal relationship (rather than the current senseless mutual suspission).
