Hey CollegeHumor, just a quick feedback You gotta improve the interface in Dropout man. The videos don't run smoothly, my app crashes quite a bit and please include a date filter. I got it but i am not too happy with it tbh. Might drop it next month.
Well they exageratted in this but i work in a restaurant that isnt fine dining but it is more upscale. Sometimes we have walk ins that we cant accomodate and they get mad and start pointing at empty tables but they dont understand is that we have people with reservations who will need those tables soon. And no one wants to be sat down and rushed to finish in 20 minutes from the moment they sit. Just because the place isnt packed at that moment doesnt mean it wont be packed 20 min later. Thats just my experience though
@@dropout I can relate, most people decide to dine mostly at the same time, so the difference between 7:50 and 8:00 might be about 100 costumers and 50 more coming 10 minutes later. And of course there are always those guys who come 5 minutes before we close with some big ass meal and the kitchen is going one hour behind on the cleaning.
as someone who worked at a fancy restaurant... painfully accurate. what's weirder is that the regular guests who attend these types of places actually LIKE the breathing-down-your-neck service
Ahahah, "amarguinha" is really a portuguese drink made from bitter almonds. Is actually very sweet. I had some trouble trying to understand her pronunciation, ahahah!
@@albenmurcia4716 Reminds me of a time my parents went on vacation and they got troled by the owner, we're portuguese, and Madeira is one of our islands, so they went there on vacation, and madeira is very popular for foreign tourists, and the owner when he saw 2 portuguese people gave them a lot of attention, my parents ordered wine, and when the wine arrived the waiter came with like a cart, and he stood there pouring wine as they went alone, always pointing at a "seal of quality" that came in the bottle. When my father asked the owner how much the bottle cost he said "oh don't worry its a bit over 200€" It was actualy regular wine and the owner just played a prank on them
It's not fancy if there's menu at all. In fanciest places where typical cork sniffers hang out you're just supposed to know what's on, or order the usual even if you're first time visitor.
Tbh, I find that the more ornate the ceiling is equals the price of the food changes per region and type of food, you know if you enter the midwest, look up and see a fancy dragon, city or sky and the food is chinese food you can spend 30-50 bucks to feed 6 people with leftovers for everyone, if the ceiling has a simple trim and or no decorations, maybe some fancy lighting somewhere and doesnt look run down it's fancy chinese where your spending 5+ bucks just for a cup of their soup, but generally the chef is amazing and they have a authentic chinese menu. If the resturant is american and has live plants in fancy containers? Your looking at a few hundred bucks spent on 4 people so on and so forth
I once was in a fancy restaurant and I tried to pour myself a bottle and a waiter ran up to me, took the bottle out of my hand and poured the water into my glass. I felt useless, belittled and rude at the same time.
Well you gotta see it from their eyes. If a manager sees you pouring your own water they will get ripped a new asshole. I. My restaurant we get bitched at if a customers water glass is not always full
@@albenmurcia4716 if that's the case, like I really want all restaurant owners to watch this so they know how it isn't actually that comforting so we both can be happy
@@meneither3834 i agree though i also understand it from their point of view. People drink a lot of water and get pissy when it isnt refilled. Yes to you and i this seems annoying but people who have money that frequent these places come to expect this type of service and get pissed of they dont get it.
Here's our wine list *Slams down Bible* " That's the Bible" "Yes the only wine we serve here is either from before Jesus or from jesus" " Excuse me from jesus?" " Yes as in the blood of Christ" "Ah yes"
I feel like true panic comes out when there are no prices on the menu. I knew I walked into a way too fancy restaurant when I looked at the menu and I no hints on how much ANYTHING costs. Just ended up ordering desserts to be safe and the bill still came up to over $50.
I was with my family in europe and we were just eating based on google stars so we stumbled upon a restaurant which required us to enter a hotel, we just thought we were lost, until we entered and the waiter handed us each a fucking ipad to order our food, the plates looked tiny and there were no prices, we asked for some popcorn which were 10 euros! We just ate them left lol
It’s even worse when you are already seated, and you open the menu after they served bread... then your heart sinks as you see the prices. And 5 minutes later, the place fills up with people in suits and dresses while you are wearing shorts and a t-shirt... Been there, done that, and now I suffer from PTSD
To combat your PTSD, it sometimes helps to reconfront what gave you PTSD. Go to a Red Robin and/or (if youre in Canada) a White Spot. Each one looks fancy enough to bring up the feelings of PTSD so you can reconfeont them but each one is cheap enough that you won't have to go broke buying a meal and drinks for "therapy"
Please sneak in “and that they have to heavily tip us“ and then repeat “and that they have a heavenly visit” next time you're working. That would be so hilarious
@@HelgaCavoli Can't relate. I would rather have someone spit on me and tip me 35+% bc they can afford it than be super nice and tip me 10-15%. "Non bitchy" never paid the bills.
The worst part is when you're remembered you didn't want to try anything new, as you bite into something less enjoyable than the 3x cheaper alternative you really wanted.
I get this, especially when you find a Groupon or a deal for some place, go in, and realize you're going to be the cheapest customer there. "Thats a lovely menu, but I'll be sticking strictly to the discount you put online to lure people who you thought might make up for it in cocktails."
@@TheAlps36 depends where, even at some lower end restaurants they have little signals to tell a manager when somethings wrong, some fancier restaurants will literally have someone just to fill drinks and use signals for that
@@L_Maris The Floor manager literally would tell you to do/say those annoying things like constantly asking them if they'd : "like to try the new Wine" or "just ask them how their day was" even if its clear they're not in a talking mood.
Now do a reverse version of this where the restaurant is a loud, disgusting, buffet, full of crying children, and there's always a person choking on food in the background because they're scarfing food down too quickly... Sorry, just speaking from experience.
@@_Atzin Too much? lol Like, it depends on the brand and it's different @ every place but I think at my current job (in Palm Beach FL so everything is expensive) we charge 3.50 for still, 4.50 for sparkling. It's a large bottle for the table.
@@Kdawn1995 Lol what would you say if I went to your restaurant and (besides ordering food like a normal person) specifically demanded a jug full of tap water be filled and placed on the table?
I've been bouncing around a career in hospitality and I've learned that the gold standard is to work in a shitty bar because luxury is miserable for literally everyone involved
me and some friends were bar hopping in Manhattan, 4 or 5 places in we walked into this place, they said sit anywhere, we sat at a table and they gave us a menu the cheapest thing was a glass of wine for 109$ we slowly stood up and left before anyone took our order
Holy shit, this is actually too relatable😂This same thing happened to my friend and me when we were craving Italian while just driving around LA for fun. We caved and I ended up spending like $70 on literally like 3 small strips of steak and some tiny green lasagna. Food was absolutely amazing, but damn did the bill hit like a truck lol
My Mom went to a restaurant like this, the table ordered some crab and literally every time she put a shell on a little plate, a person would come take it away and give her a new one....she finally told them to stop and to leave the plate until she was done cause she was worried about the water being used up to wash all the plates🤣 (not even joking)
Aw man you missed the perfect end gag where they finally do order something that's expensive af and turns out to be something ultra tiny and not at all filling XD
This is so fucking accurate - I once walked into a pizza place with a friend that looked nice but normal on the outside and was literally the fanciest place I have ever seen on the inside, a host in a tuxedo looked at us (me in god damn cargo shorts) and asks if we have a reservation, then when we said no decides to seat us anyway. He heads off to find us a server and me and my mate take one look at each other, another at the other guests, the priceless menus written in what I must assume was High Elvish and literally run out of the restaurant while ducking so that he doesn't see us (he did - we fan faster).
A real fancy restaurant would watch from afar and leave them to settle in and talk if that seemed what they wanted, then as soon as they look around for a waiter, bam! you jump in. So that part didn't feel genuine, unless this is supposed to be a place that's only trying to appear fancy to fleece customers with high prices. Otherwise, though, this felt very accurate.
Once ordered cups of coffee and a slice of orange dark chocolate cake slices each with a buddy of mine at this bourgeoisie cafe we came across. Without checking prices first. Big mistake. Had to ask which currency the bill was in. Even after waiter confirmed dollars we still had to make sure he meant actual Benjamins.
I did this once and the worst part was I was ALONE! Have you ever accidentally gone to a fancy restaurant by yourself in a tie dye tee shirt and sweatpants only to realize the place is WAY too high end for you but being too awkward to leave? It's the worst, i wanted to crawl in a hole and never come out.
Oh I just turn around and leave. They won't remember you five minutes after you've left if you haven't even talked to anyone or if it's before you ordered.
Nothing wrong with that. But if you dont want to spend money dont go to these places. If i go somewhere like this id rather order a bunch ofnthings and share it all
@@zukaro what was thebdish? Was it literally tomato slices and nothing else? If so what do you expect it to taste like? If it was a burrata type thing then generally you are oaying for the cheese and balsamic they use which can both be pretty expensive depending on quality
Some of the restaurants you have are genuinely just there to rip you off. They can't do actual nice food so they pick on a cuisine and make it quirky instead and that quirkiness makes it genuinely worse than the cheapest food of the cuisines home country. Although, $15 is a normal price for a starter in a slightly fancy place.
I've been to a place where they expected a tip on top of the twenty percent they add to the bill. And by expected, I mean the manager brought the check back to me and passive-aggressively explained that an additional ten percent was typical. I've never written a bigger or angrier zero on a receipt.
I should add that my comment mostly relate to the actors "personas" or "characters" instead of them as real life people. For instance, I think everyone knows that Katie must be far different personality wise in real life then she is in her sketches.
First time in a Fancy Restaurant... Felt the the same way! It's all about swagger! (That and knowing a few basic cheats.) Ask for how much the Pre-Prix Cost. (Also don't be afraid to ask what anything cost! Don't be intimidated; your the Customer damn it!) Be firm but not rude. Smile every ten minutes the waitstaff magical appears. Pretend like you a character in a movie in which you are in a scene in a resturant. And oh don't forget to breath! Easy peasy! 🍷
Oh no, I vividly remember waking into one of these in Vienna. The waiter kept popping up behind me, by the third time I dropped my cutlery from the scare and the pianist (how does this even exist? There really was a pianist!) stopped playing because of the noise. We ended up eating the world's most expensive tiny soup and bought supermarket sandwiches later, because I was still too mortified to go anywhere to eat again. In retrospect, at least it always makes for a fun story to tell now 😅
this has happened to me before and it was the most stressful thing ever. we planned on going to a pub and dressed in shorts and tshirts, got to the place and thought it was weird that everyone was dressed super nice. the waiter came by and started listing out a bunch of fancy specials we couldnt understand. we couldnt understand anything in the menu because it was all in italian and the lowest price was like $120 at that point we just left lol
Oh god this happened to me when I was a 21 year old intern who got dragged to a fancy dinner with my work team to meet with some counterparts from a foreign office. So not only did the restaurant intimidate me I tried to make myself invisible and not embarrass myself or my team. I think I ordered a garden salad and slowly picked at it as I stared at the wall and listened to them talk business the whole night.
I hate when waiters don't leave you alone! It stresses me out so much when they keep coming to the table to take stuff away or ask if everything's fine
@@Kdawn1995 true that lol, but i'm not sure i get what you're trying to say? i mean i've been to cheap places where the waiters still kept coming to the table trying to accommodate me
Oh gods I remember going in one of those with my auntie who just got back from her work abroad. There was barely any people but most of the tables have reserved signs, apparently we had a reservation too, that alone should've clued me in on how fancy it was... then the menu arrived and I almost spat my drink coz everything costs more than my weekly school allowance.
A drunk staggered into a Catholic church He entered a confessional booth, sat down and said nothing. The priest coughed a few times to get his attention, but the man stayed silent. Finally the priest knocked loudly on the wall three times. The drunk mumbled "Ain't no use in knocking, there's no paper on this side either"
@@chovue2363 Well the menu is a light novel, and they keep asking if you're ready to order every other minute after you sit down. I get that you're not supposed to read the whole menu, but let me skim it at least. No idea why I'm eating there in the first place. I don't even like cheesecake.

Although, $15 is a normal price for a starter in a slightly fancy place.
this five minute long comedy sketch was scarier than the majority of horror fillms i've watched
OMG it's Vic! I don't think I realized they were in the College Humor universe 4 years ago.
Me going to any restaurant where they have the napkins in a special fold.
Oh. Breaking news is moving to Dropout. Of course it is...
Joe I don’t think College Humor got it... or else they wouldn’t have hearted it
Hippie, I think it was a cheeky heart
My favorite interviewer Vehicular
I've been to a place where they expected a tip on top of the twenty percent they add to the bill. And by expected, I mean the manager brought the check back to me and passive-aggressively explained that an additional ten percent was typical. I've never written a bigger or angrier zero on a receipt.
This should become a series of them attempting to find a cheap restaurant but the waiters keep finding them XD
I can never eat at these places because my brain keeps converting the prices to joints and bags of chips I could get instead.
“...and that they have a heavenly visit”
A small detail I love is that "you heard me correctly this time" implies the waiter was actually saying the things they heard before
Lily is literally the female version of Trapp.
Change my mind.
Nah, IMO her sketches are way too on-the-nose
I should add that my comment mostly relate to the actors "personas" or "characters" instead of them as real life people. For instance, I think everyone knows that Katie must be far different personality wise in real life then she is in her sketches.
the waiters names are hozier and fjörd
of course they are
Some of this is kinda like the restaurant I work at hahaha.
Looks like the sandwich place reviewed by Katie
Can I have Chicken Nuggets and French Fries?
Yes, at the McDonald's down the street.
First time in a Fancy Restaurant...
Felt the the same way!
It's all about swagger!
(That and knowing a few basic cheats.)
Ask for how much the Pre-Prix Cost.
(Also don't be afraid to ask what anything cost! Don't be intimidated; your the Customer damn it!)
Be firm but not rude.
Smile every ten minutes the waitstaff magical appears.
Pretend like you a character in a movie in which you are in a scene in a resturant.
And oh don't forget to breath!
Easy peasy! 🍷
I love the fire exit sign above the closed window. Its a nice way to tell us we're not safe while eating
Vic’s grabbing it all and running for out on the bill was glorious, I’ve done that
Vic is hauntingly beautiful. And the sketch is spot on. CH never disappoints.
It's hilarious how the waiter just watched and didn't stop the ladies while they are taking the spoons and bread.
Ah, Amarguinha feom Portugal! Great choice. Very sweet liquor, with a slightly sour aftertaste.
Portugal, caralho! 🇵🇹 🇵🇹 🇵🇹
This is truly just The Swan’s Little Parade
omg lol
Oh no, I vividly remember waking into one of these in Vienna. The waiter kept popping up behind me, by the third time I dropped my cutlery from the scare and the pianist (how does this even exist? There really was a pianist!) stopped playing because of the noise. We ended up eating the world's most expensive tiny soup and bought supermarket sandwiches later, because I was still too mortified to go anywhere to eat again.
In retrospect, at least it always makes for a fun story to tell now 😅
this has happened to me before and it was the most stressful thing ever. we planned on going to a pub and dressed in shorts and tshirts, got to the place and thought it was weird that everyone was dressed super nice. the waiter came by and started listing out a bunch of fancy specials we couldnt understand. we couldnt understand anything in the menu because it was all in italian and the lowest price was like $120 at that point we just left lol
Baby Boomers: 3 star MIchelin restaurants
Millennials: Chipotle

Gen X is eating at Chipotle too
Oh god this happened to me when I was a 21 year old intern who got dragged to a fancy dinner with my work team to meet with some counterparts from a foreign office. So not only did the restaurant intimidate me I tried to make myself invisible and not embarrass myself or my team. I think I ordered a garden salad and slowly picked at it as I stared at the wall and listened to them talk business the whole night.
Rich person: Ah, $2012? A paltry sum, bring two bottles
Me, fresh off a B99 binge: I'll have your eight dollar-est bottle of wine please
This gave me a lot of anxiety
I fucking love Lily's friend just grabbing tableware and bread at the end
For record real restaurant sommes are really good at helping people who don't understand wine because most people don't
I hate when waiters don't leave you alone! It stresses me out so much when they keep coming to the table to take stuff away or ask if everything's fine
It's part of the job. Lol
@@Kdawn1995 i knowww but i wish it wasn't, it would make things for them and me easier
@@tagliatelle no as in like...I guarantee you cannot afford to eat at the restaurant where I work lmao. Cheapest entree is $45.
@@Kdawn1995 true that lol, but i'm not sure i get what you're trying to say? i mean i've been to cheap places where the waiters still kept coming to the table trying to accommodate me
@@tagliatelle I actually was trying to respond to someone else who was saying they don't tip. Sorry I'm dumb.
Oh gods I remember going in one of those with my auntie who just got back from her work abroad. There was barely any people but most of the tables have reserved signs, apparently we had a reservation too, that alone should've clued me in on how fancy it was... then the menu arrived and I almost spat my drink coz everything costs more than my weekly school allowance.
If there's no prices on a menu I'm *out* of there...
Love the sass "you heard me correctly this time." 😂
“Here’s the wine list” *drops the bible*
I liked how they tried to get the simplest, cheapest and at the end dine and dash with their utensils too
A drunk staggered into a Catholic church
He entered a confessional booth, sat down and said nothing. The priest coughed a few times to get his attention, but the man stayed silent. Finally the priest knocked loudly on the wall three times. The drunk mumbled "Ain't no use in knocking, there's no paper on this side either"
I was so stressed out by this video omfg
2:40 "Barnyard" is actually sommelier code for "this tastes like shit".
I love the way they showcase how anxiety actually feels in this one.
This is how the Cheesecake Factory felt when I was in high school
Lol
Just got my undergrad degree and cheesecake factory is still intimidating.
@@chovue2363 Well the menu is a light novel, and they keep asking if you're ready to order every other minute after you sit down. I get that you're not supposed to read the whole menu, but let me skim it at least. No idea why I'm eating there in the first place. I don't even like cheesecake.
I always experience this when dining out. I just wish they would break down the fancy words to the it actually is that I'll be ordering.
Oh my God, this is the best writing I have seen from college humor. 5 stars.
omg i didn’t recognize vic
Lily's skin and hair are gorgeous, Barbie doll perfect😍
Fun fact: "Un vert debe" means "one green baby"
I also hear dialup when hearing tasting notes
ive been to many restauratns like this, its extremely accurate
