Sketch?

TWO MEN WALKING ALONG THE STREET. A CHINESE GIRL WALKS PAST ON THE OTHERSIDE.

MAN 1
That's Phuku.

MAN 2
Fu*koo? That's one sexy bird! Nice name.

MAN 1
Suits her, she's always in somebody elses nest.

Is the Chinese girl Spike Milligan by any chance?

as this been done before???!

No thank goodness

Well actually, off the top of my head it's in Austin Powers with two twins, Fuk-mi and Fuk-u or something?

But the actually joke is reminiscent of a racialist joke from the 70's.

it's a play on 'cuckoo'

That's not clear because I think it's too far removed from the actual word.

what, fu*koo isn't like cuckoo?

Are you censoring it? Because you don't have to do that, it's automatic.

yes, I did but I thought perhaps no one would rhyme it or connect f**koo with cuckoo if there were two asterisks...LOL
It seems to be a dead loss anyway

No BB I think in a longer sketch it would be cool.
I liked it. Need more to go on though. IMO.

Sorry - I never linked the cuckoo.

Nah, I don't think there's any mileage in this one. Seems a bit racist, the connection is weak, and contrived anyway. Ultimately not terribly funny. Bit random really. Ho-hum.

yeah, I agree there's no mileage in it but it's certainly not racist IMo and wasn't intended as such.
There's a take-away in London called Fuku (f**k you) so the Chinese do have a sense of humour too
