YouTube videos of the "Superwog" comedy skits from Theo and Nathan, the Saidden Brothers of Egyptian/Greek Australian descent, have reportedly gone viral with more than 44 million hits and propelled the brothers to become the newest Internet sensations.
According to Wikipedia, the term "wog" is a British and Australian English slang word often used as a derogatory racial or ethnic slur referring to people who are of Middle Eastern, South Asian or Southern Europe descent. It is used differently in British English and Australian English. In British English, "wog" is used to describe South Asian and Middle Eastern people, while in Australian English, it is used for ethnic minorities from Middle East and Southern Europe only.
Nathan and Theo Saidden started making the "Superwog" comedy skits as a hobby and poke fun on themselves as they are actually considered "wogs" because of their Greek/Egyptian and Australian lineage. Little did they know that this simple hobby would make them really famous one day.
"Growing up in a wog family and then going to a school like Trinity we were able to perfectly analyse how wogs are and how Aussies are; how the mums are and even the differences at sport," Theo said in a Daily Telegraph report.
"So, we would see how the Aussies behave and then come home to our traumatic, wog childhood and those observations were the basis of our ideas," he added.
The Saidden brothers were inspired by comedians Sacha Baron Cohen, Fat Pizza and Chris Lilley. They film, edit and perform all of their comedy skits. It became so popular that they have branched out to doing live shows in Australia. They even scored a sweet deal with online entertainment brand adultswim. What's more is that they have been commissioned by ABC2 to air a video of the "Difference between Wogs and Aussies Christmas" on Boxing Day. But the brothers still want more. In 2014, they are hoping to make a feature film about "Superwog."
"Nathan and I just want to keep on going producing clips and making people laugh," Theo said in the Daily Telegraph report.
