About

Featuring extensive footage from their live shows, this episode of Tagata Pasifika explores comedy phenomenon The Naked Samoans. The performances include early versions of characters who featured on animated hit bro'Town. Co-founder Oscar Kightley talks about the group's "licorice allsorts" cultural makeup, and how prejudice is not the same as racism. Featuring some comical censorship via an off-screen voice, the episode captures the raw, non-PC island humour that filtered into five seasons of bro'Town, and two Sione's Wedding films.
