I hope it brings you as much laughter as it has to so many of us.

A dance has even been created for this video.

We certainly hope all this publicity will help to bring attention to the matter of the bridge needing repairs and action will be taken to do so.

Hmmm, maybe a remix about the canal?!?!?!

For sure, they did laugh about him, but Mr. Clif Brown did not think it was funny at all. They need help with the problem of the bridge...because nodody canna cross it. Some of the money made from these, should go to a new bridge for them.
Bless you Mr. Clif Brown

The bridge is already in the process of being fixed....Now he's getting a good contract from Lime to do commercials!YEAH NOBODY CANNA CROSS IT..

Poor Display By Crosskill...Bell

For sure a terrible Display by them, no reason for that at all. More been Jamaicans, Not like they do not know how they speak there, from one town to the other.

They were very disrespectful to Mr. Brown. They should be ashamed of them selves.

Not funny I don't see the joke here...This video portrays the less educated as illiterate fools..with bad grammar, and annunciation...not funny at all..

Not funny..... I dont see the joke here.This video is very portrays the less educated as illiterate fools..not funny at all.

Very funny indeed. Someone craving the limelight should be ready for it. This guy should not have allowed himself on the air unless he wanted to be a comedian. Treasure Girl the word you were looking for is enunciation. It portrays Mr Brown and Mr Brown alone, 'numbody' else!!
My advice would be don't become a spokesman if you cant 'spoke'!!

NO Spooky Dude I meant annunciate..you have so much to say..yet so little is said, because no one pays attention to what is said....go figure. No he puts Jamaica on display, because here in America, at my work place, many of my coworkers are asking me if that is the way most Jamaican speaks, now this is also a form of ignorance on their path, but to the common eye, that doesnt have anyone to compare cultural activities and common dialects other than myself, who speaks very inteligent and is well known on the job, to be articulate, yes it does portray the average Jamaican, this might also be because I attended college and gradute school here, they have given credit of my education and profession to the American education system ( I certainly do not, but that is my opinion)...now I am finish...Take what you want from it, because you seemed to be the surgeon of this website, due to the fact that you dissects every one comments...

Thank you.

blessed is the sheperd who tends to his flock.Mr. clifton brown ,you are truly a good samaratin!I wish there could be a little more of mr.Brown inall of us!Cuz no body canna a cross it!

I speak with a midwestern twang, my grandchildren from Tennessee have a southern drawl, my friend from Nu Ahlins can barely be understood by my friends from Canada (eh? ya know?, and what's up with how those Boston people talk? and none of us have proper grammar all the time either. For some of us, the Jamaican pattoi is lilting, melodic, expressive, and charming. and we are awed by the positive attitudes. Here is the US we have also had our share of flooding and unsafe bridges or roads. Trust me,what I've heard here cannot be niced up by any amount of remixing. Jah bless

Thank you DOC. I am always right. Once I thought that I was wrong, but I was mistaken.

Could it be that Mr Brown actually said "nobody can ACROSS it"? How can we be sure since both versions are phonetically the same?

Very funneee! Get a life! TBNet are you complicit in this obvious prank?

Concerning an Arguer who argues merely for the sake of argument (a good ole rum-bar phenomenon...and oh what fun it is to ride...), a yardie proverb come to mind:

Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty - and only the pig enjoys it.

Z it is said when you throw stones in a pig-sty the one which squeals is the one who got hit,or something to that effect. I am not sure what prompted your remark,but your choice of metaphor is in poor taste.
On the other side of the coin,the so-called rum-bar phenomenon is responsible for many a philosophical insight and enlightenment. The matter becomes a problem, it seems to me, to people who have a particular agenda or who are unable to express themselves. Don't get me wrong, I am not suggesting that you are one of these people.
Of course some rum-bar arguments are quite inane while others are quite stimulating, depending on the bar in which one chooses to hang out.
On a lighter note,and sticking to the pig theme: a drunk sauntered up to a lady in a bar with a duck under her arm and asked,"where'd you get the pig?" The lady tried to ignore him, but finally in a huff said, "It's not a pig,you fool,it's a duck!" The drunk replied, "I was not talking to you, I was talking to the bloody duck!"
