8/10

01/29/2022 From the birthplace of so many cringe characters that spawned David Brent and Alan Partridge. He became to well known in the UK so he heads to the US for easy pickings in a Louis Threoux style lets find their idiots and ridicule them. The King of Chavs has dated and allowed white Gangsta to think its cool to be like him, they are too thick to realise he was ripping the piss. See more Read all reviews
