EARLY ACCESS: SHOULD YOU STOP EATING CHOCOLATE?
Added 2024-09-03 13:36:20 +0000 UTCYes! It's the return of Corner Shop Corner. And Beanus. Kind of. Also featuring a dog, some of York's finest sites, and me getting shoulder-barged by a woman. Plus... a concise history of chocolate.
We're changing our upload day - for regular types - back to Thursday btw, as Sunday wasn't doing brilliantly for us. But you still get it early. Enjoy!

Great vid. I think the shorter running time really works for this one. It has energy and feels lively. You could do a follow up video at some point in Bourneville, Birmingham. The town that chocolate built. Well, not literally, that would be silly, and delicious, but silly.

2024-09-04 20:32:39 +0000 UTCCheers, Geoffrey, for noticing my quaking Rowntree gag!

2024-09-04 20:32:30 +0000 UTCTook me a long time to realise it too!

2024-09-04 20:32:09 +0000 UTCThat warms our heart!

2024-09-04 20:32:00 +0000 UTCThanks, you two!

2024-09-04 20:31:52 +0000 UTCNot sure if Oatus' last name is "Reddybrek"? As in Otis Redding... I'll get my coat - it's autumn, after all.... :)

2024-09-04 19:14:34 +0000 UTCI'm only around four and a half minutes into this and (not just because of the subject matter), this has to be some of your best work! So many funny little details (such as the photo of Joseph Rowntree quaking)! :D Re: Hershey bars, I seem to sometimes find myself buying them (I definitely do like their Reece's peanut butter bars!), but noticed that the Hershey's "chocolate" bars are now called "chocolate flavoured (and spelt with an actual "u" (so, must be for the UK market...)!) candy bars"! I mean, I think we all know why of course....

2024-09-04 19:04:27 +0000 UTCHow did I never realise before that Yorkies come from York?! Seems obvious now that you mention it!

2024-09-04 18:13:00 +0000 UTCGonna have to wait for my other to get time to watch this as I love watching it with her. Looking forward to it.

2024-09-04 17:55:14 +0000 UTCWe enjoy the Opening on this one. Just all the weirdest shots of Paul in weird places discussing what is to come in the video. Sets a fun tone to an otherwise serious subject. Good video all around Paul!

2024-09-04 11:31:54 +0000 UTCWe've got a couple more planned along similar lines. We like eating, so it's a no brainer!

2024-09-04 08:48:00 +0000 UTCGreat to see Corner Shop Corner making a re-appearance! Nice way to bring it into the show too.

2024-09-03 20:28:37 +0000 UTCPoor Sanja.
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
2024-09-03 20:28:32 +0000 UTCIndeed! Mentioned in the video. They also did a chocolate lemon, but we cut that bit.
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
2024-09-03 20:28:26 +0000 UTCFun fact, the Terry's chocolate orange was in fact predated by their now long-defunct Chocolate apple!

2024-09-03 20:27:53 +0000 UTCGreat video. I especially enjoyed Sanja going all Monty's Mother in the car over the glasses comment, probably in case it descended in to another Kit Kat question.

2024-09-03 19:38:56 +0000 UTCThis is burning a hole in my YouTube 'Watch Later' list. I put it in there 5hrs ago and I'm itching to watch it tonight with a beer and one of those special cigarettes that makes everything funny.

2024-09-03 19:13:34 +0000 UTCI prefer it to Cambridge in all honesty. The centre of Cambridge is waaaay too crowded.
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
2024-09-03 18:37:19 +0000 UTCWell indeed.
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
2024-09-03 18:36:51 +0000 UTCSanja hates that joke.
Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
2024-09-03 18:36:45 +0000 UTCI was waiting the entire video for the fingers joke, and I'm glad you didn't disappoint,

2024-09-03 17:32:37 +0000 UTCChocolate is just the tip of the iceberg sadly. What about the clothes we wear? Or the devices we use?

2024-09-03 15:38:54 +0000 UTCSurprising how much of York looks very similar to Cambridge, around the backs and the small streets there.

Paul Rose (Mr Biffo)
2024-09-03 14:40:12 +0000 UTCNo you shouldn't. Glad I could help!
