Mandy, seen your Poll and all, but honestly you should do 'The Royle Family' next. its right up your street, and all they talk about is 'Ohhh, what did you have for tea". Proper northerns. Ive always felt that Americans inherited a lot of things/saying from Northern English folks who were (i imagine) the most likely to set sale for a new ife in the colonies over the wealthy southerners. Anyway, The Royale Family was massive in the UK, bigger than any of the shows youve done to date. Check it out, its so good and not offensive.

Hmmm. . I always thought (when I was younger) that tea time was actually just pre dinner tea and crumpets (whatever those are) ๐คญ๐คช

in the UK we dont all call 'dinner' our evening meal. the posh lot down south do. Up north 'tea time' is your evening meal.

The biggest problem with this episode is Basil is supposed to be the one in the wrong, but the American is far worse with his threatening behaviour. The only good thing is at the end, Basil turned the tabels on Cybil.

He was wet and she wasn't because she's British and we're water repellent like ducks. Or it could be he dropped her off at the door and then had to park up and unload the bags then walk in with them. But the duck theory seems the most plausible to me.

2024-07-12 20:25:35 +0000 UTC
I've never truly understood with this episode whose side we're supposed to be on. Are we supposed to side with the American guy because we know what a grumpy, horrible person Basil is? Because the American guy is a piece of shit, right? He makes unreasonable demands, brandishes a knife, talks down to everyone, belittles the country he's visiting (and his wife's country)...he's a despicable character yet I can't fully tell if they want us to side with him or Basil.

Ah thank you because I knew the peso was suffering from hyper inflation but I didn't understand the thing with drug dealers also selling money, and how some stores would offer you a better deal for paying in USD instead of Peso's, Thank you Mandy

2024-07-12 00:00:43 +0000 UTC
Hi Remi! Let's stay polite please! ๐
๐คช. Ok, so it is very long to properly explain, but long story short the previous goverment was an extremely corrupt one that made it illegal for people to exchange their money to dollars. The Argentine peso has been losing value every week ( for years ) and due to crazy inflation people rather exchange their pesos to dollars to not lose the value of their hard earned money. Since the exchange rate has gone through the roof and it is illegal to do in banks, they call exchanging their money "buying" dollars.

Ahhh fond memories of my days in McDonalds. Where me and one manager had to waste 8 minutes in the lunch hour convincing a lady that a plain cheeseburger does actually come with cheese. So maybe if your daughter has a severe cheese allergy you should order the hamburger instead!!! And no you can't have a refund, we can only swap it because we gave you exactly what you told us to make!๐๐ค
Or the time the prepers in the morning mixed up the sauce bottles and I so when I'd made about five chocolate flurries or so: I got this wiff of a strong familiar smell. And it turns out amazingly I've just sent out 5 galaxy McFlurry ice creams covered in brown sauce instead of chocolate and no-one complained!!! So hey, Miry - your ice cream experience could have been a lot worse. ๐คฃ
Then we had the customers who stood right in the way of the counter waiting for their meal, even tho the one I was serving was for the customer behind them who couldn't get through. There was shouting from me on a few occasions....

Hahahhaha! If I pause it is because I had a thought. ๐
I imagine it must be annoying if I do it too much though, but noted! ๐ฉต Also no idea what happened at 11:35 but my internet has been sketchy lately, so maybe I had a mini cut that affected the video?

Another great episode. Love how Basil turned it all to his advantage by booking a room in his own hotel so he could be waited on. :) Probably paid for it with the American's money :)
"Well I think we're just out of Waldorfs" - Classic line :)
Enjoyable stuff once again. Thank you M

When you commented on Manuelโs famous phrase โI know nothingโ, reminds me of when you introduced S1E1, (3:02) just before the show started, you said those exact words, and then paused, as if you already knew it was a catch phrase on the show. But it was just pure coincidence. ๐
I was going to comment back then, but you would have had no idea what I was talking about. ๐
The next one, is probably another top 3 episode.
Gary Tamblyn
2024-07-11 22:19:16 +0000 UTC
No problem I understand what you meant but I probably worded the original comment weirdly because I'm missing a couple beats

Fair enough, sorry to have interrupted.

First she complained about the shape of the sign, then she complained about John Cleese's make-up. To top it all off, she complained about the taste buds of ALL MEN. I stand by my earlier comments.
Jeffrey44
2024-07-11 21:17:14 +0000 UTC
No shit but seems she lives there she would have a definite answer and an easier way of explaining it because the video I watched was German and watching a German trying to talk to an Argentinan is painful when neither of them have a universal language

He had lived in the UK for over 20 years when this was filmed. I bet the southern accent rubbed off on him.

At the start when he was in the lobby he didn't sound like a yank at all

Maybe the days she can't find the scarf are the days she is wearing it.

You are correct Bruce Boa played the American, he is Canadian. I think he spent his adult life in the UK.

Thank you kindly Mandy.
One day you are wearing a scarf. the next you can't find any of your scarves. Then you are out eating ice cream. It is starting to hurt my brain trying to place these chronologically. I might have to start a spreadsheet.

I feel like that American accent was faked I heard something else break through a few times, Mandy why are there people everywhere in Argentina trying to sell money? I've been watching some travel vlogs and I don't understand why the ATMs are so expensive and everyone wants to sell you money, I understand why they want to sell you cocaine but I don't get the money
Remi

What a loud mouth obnoxious American complaining about everything like that!
Jeffrey44
2024-07-11 19:03:09 +0000 UTC
This is often considered the only weak episode, most dont like the American guy (who is actually Canadian). Plus it's pretty much just Basil and the American taking up majority of the scenes with not much from the support cast

I enjoyed that! I know what you mean about it being stressful. I always find that locking myself away, putting on headphones, and listening to music is the best way to calm down (not that I'm saying you need to calm down ๐ฐ๐). Also, as people have said above, the whole point of watching your videos is your interaction. Without it, we might as well watch a DVD (do people still watch DVDs? ๐ค). Anyway, as always, thank you, Mandy. ๐ค๐ค

I got a third of a way through what I was eating on Saturday and got an overwhelming urge to go throw up. Came back a few hours later and it didn't have the same effect when I ate the rest. I did have Homer Simpson and the rotten sandwich in the back of my mind, but that's just a cartoon so wasn't worth considering.

Most food places like takeaways and restaurants open at 5. You sometimes see some opening at 4. Theres still lots of pubs that do food from around 11am-12 though or chippies that open for a few hours round then then close till 5
