The GP one is scarily accurate
Insulting people in Britain is a term of endearment. Its when we are actually nice to you is when you gotta watch out.
Those relationships are not doomed in the slightest.
That change the lightbulb meme was hilarious 🤣
The lightbulb she was just teasing him that is funny in British humour
These marriages are far from doomed haha
'Wellies' is short for Wellington Boots ...... big rubber boots that stop your feet getting wet !
not a racist dog whistle LMAO
Neither is well well well!!
The 'station announcement' about not holding hands on the platform is just a fellow who goes around with his own loudspeaker making fake announcements on tube trains - while his friend films people reacting. He thinks he's funnier than he is.
The last one was just a typical British wind up! 😂
I think it's funny (last one) That's why it's funny because you took it literally which makes it even funnier.
Lol The marriage is a healthy, happy one.
Hahaha you can't see the joke in the light bulb set up.... no light bulb needs changing, she's filming her husbands reaction as a joke!
The doomed relationships are fine I assure you British couples tend to laugh at eachother a lot some of the strongest couples I know call each other all sorts it's not a uniquely British thing as Aussies are do it too
Yep me and my hubby have been together for almost 23 years, we have bloody brilliant banter
That relationship isn't doomed, that is #relationshipgoals, we in the UK constantly take the piss out of each other and when your at that level of comfort taking the piss, then that's true love. 😂
Unfortunately the GP one is depressingly accurate, speaking from experience, 9 times out of 10, mental health stuff is brushed away with "have a cup of tea and think happy thoughts", and the appointment's over before you ever get to the crux of the issues. Whats most accurate is that patronising yone they use, frankly, its spot on!
Yeah tell me about it was seeing one not long ago and I was meant to go back to her after Xmas but it made me depressed thinking about sitting their talking about pointless stuff and getting no help I don’t get how they think they can anyone understand anyone who is depressed and not experienced it them selfs they second guess and 90% of the time their wrong
Very real unfortunately especially the " sympathetic " noises.
JJ doesn't realise this is not a funny video - it's real life in many cases.
@@ticketyboo2456[lipsmack] mmmyeaahh [clackaclackaclack]
The guy on the platform is a YTer who films himself simulating platform announcements, for comic effect.
'John Lewis' is a large chain of department stores.
Very much laughing at you rather than with you on this 1! Love our British humour, don’t worry you MIGHT get it 1 day 😂
That's my GP.…
😬
The phone call with her brother was a joke ON her husband, she was just winding him up
Wellies are Wellington Boots, waterproof rubber high boots.
The GP one brings back so many bad memories and trauma. Those sounds and that voice. It is so accurate and well done.
wow, that GP mental health appointment is scarily accurate. Baths, walking, eating healthily and getting enough sleep are the usual suggestions in my experience and that of friends with similar diagnoses. And yes, a lot of smiling and patronising unfortunately - and the ten min limit - yup. you gotta talk fast but stay on point if they are gonna help yo during the appointment that you waited 2 weeks to get. And this is no disrespect to the GP. despite my comments. The serious lack of funding for years in mental health training and support for GPs for years and the idea that they should be experts in every health issue. Sad but true because I love the NHS and want to see it thrive.
My favourite bits in these are when you pull a very specific face for the times you try the accent. It has Bill Sykes undertones. Keep up the excellent work. Love your vids
This guy has such a relaxing voice
‘Shou’der’ is Glaswegian pronunciation.
I have to say dude. with regard to the light bulb clip, I think it's funny too. It is a very british kind of humour there but she was just pranking him.
I was laughing my arse off the whole way through that one. 😄
The dead give away is in the tone of her brother's voice when he says "yeah, he is useless." He's trying not to laugh. Totally in on the gag before hand.
Wow, some of that humour really went over your head didn't it!
Funny, Long, Scary, and Unpractical! Eclectic mix!
The doomed couples will probably banter their way past longer than many plain relationships, I think, anyway.
Thanks as always JJ!
2:21 that guy is a prankster. He goes around train stations with a megaphone
12:20 Dude your in one today 😂 all these are normal and quite healthy ish
Wellies or Wellington Boots are named after Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, KG, GCB, GCH, PC, FRS who won the battle of Waterloo, the final victory against Napoleon.
He was famous for his huge black boots & when waterproof rubber ones arrived, always in black st first, they got the name "Wellington Boots".
Wellies or the full name Wellington Boots.
The history of the Wellington Boots or Wellies.
At some point in the early 1800’s Arthur Wellesley, then Viscount Wellington asked his shoemaker, Mr. George Hoby of Saint James Street, London, to make a boot which was easy to wear with his new Trousers (Pants). Hoby removed the tassel and cut the Boot lower to make them more comfortable for riding his horse.
09:30 I think its the two people on the other side of the street that we should be most concerned about because they either knew the accident was about to happen or have no awareness of what is going on around them because they don't even flinch
its a joke!!!
Hey JJ, big fan here. I'm gonna keep recommending carrot in a box and carrot in a box:the rematch but I'm now also gonna recommend a video I just watched labeled 'top 10 modern British bands to crack the US'.
"Wellies" = Wellington boots = rain boots or gumboots.
Wellies are Wellington boots, also Beef Wellington both named for Lord Wellington. Sandwiches are named after the Earl of Sandwich, The cardigan is named after the Earl of Cardigan. The balaclava named after the Battle of Balaclava, the Crimea war.....
Seeing you fall asleep to that Brit doctor was so funny
That guy probably went and picked up his shopping up after that car accident
Wellies = Wellington boots. Waterproof footwear.
Wellies + Wellington boots. ie rubber boots, gumboots, rain boots.
You just said move on then you over play a bloody car rolling.
Welies are wellington boots, you might know them as rubber boots
Oh blimey you really are American, you just don't get it lol no disrespect but blimey! Plus the Channel Tunnel really is under water 🌟
Short for Wellington boots, I’m surprised it was that hard to look up that it took you to something about a racist dogwhistle 🤨😂
I think it's because he spelt it "welles" rather than "wellies". Missing "i".
09:00 I lost it at that point... 😂😂
Wellies are wellington boots
wellies are rubber boots for wade fishing
Is that the only purpose they have? Everyone I knew as a kid had them and none of them fished.
Your voice is so soothing
They really dont require or justify so much analysis.
you watched the same clip NINE times in a row
Have a look at the Atherstone Ball Game? It is totally insane
The Dr thing is absolutely bang on!! Just give us the godamn pills and stop being so condescending!
To be fair, the majority were not amusing, just British. :-(
The only reason sisters tolerate brothers is so they will change our light bulbs. Men don't get the joke.
7:35 a GP wouldn't treat mental health issues. They would refer to whatever the mental health access team are called these days. So none of this is even close for any joke to be extracted from it...
I'm also not sure why these are anything British, in particular.
I couldn't agree more with you that a couple of them weren't funny
GPs in the UK are terrible, had my doctor blatantly say there is nothing wrong with me because my age and I have more issues than his pensioner patients. Told him the issue I'm facing is going to make me kill myself but they refused to prescribe the recommended medicine because it can be addictive because avoiding addiction is more important than living.
Hey, I know I am just a random internet stranger but I see you posted this only 5 hours ago and I just want to at least acknowledge your comment, and your frustration.
I also want to say to you that you are valid, and if you need assistance you can ask to see a different GP at the practice, you don't have to see the same one if it is a group practice.
If you are still having thoughts about suicide or self harm, please contact emergency help, if you go to the local A&E they should have a mental health team available, you may have to wait a little bit depending how busy it is, but they will help you, or refer you to the right person who can.
You can also contact your local council mental health crisis team in some areas, search on your local council website and it should come up. Probably under health and social care/adult social services or something like that.
There's also the Samaritans if you need to talk to somebody, they are there 24/7/365 you can phone them on 116 123, it is free phone number. You can also text SMS by sending "SHOUT" to 85258 apparently. And you can email them too.
You can also look at the samaritans web page, there's also mental health charity "Mind" who have a website with different resources.
I hope this information can help you. You do not need to suffer alone, there is help out there. Good luck, ☮
listen to ROXY MUSIC and BRYAN FERRY for hugely influential UK Music that effected the 70s> The band evolved with every album and Bryan Ferry in his solo career worked along side Dave Gilmour, Robert Fripp and Mark Knopfler. Dave Gilmour even played guitar on Ferry's time on Live Aid. David Bowie is on video stating how great they were at that time. Watch The Professor of Rocks analysis of Bryan Ferry's work just to give an idea, No other band evolved so much with each passing album. They were one of the most influential bands throughout their Career

Cringe meme's
We don’t take too thing too seriously and in a relationship you have to be like that in the last one or your fucked true love you should be able to joke with each other like that we take the piss out of each other it’s funny as long as it’s not insidious then you be asking for trouble lol
Oh man you have so much to learn about the UK public if you think these relationships are “doomed”
He's also quite naïve. Searching for something and accepting the first result that pops up.
Yes, British men, there is a sunset that are insensitive brats😂
Amazing aint we. We see the the most cherished people in our lives get physically hurt and our response is "whatcha do that for you silly bugger?"
@@deadkennedy9140i know i fell off my bike and landed in a ditch and instead of helping me out my dad said what you doing down there? I mean what did he think i was doing? Examining the wildlife!!! 😂
I know, if that constitutes a doomed relationship then pretty much every couple over here is doomed. Plus relationships with friends, parents, kids - in fact pretty much everyone 😂
The ones you didn’t get were proper British humour. The lady who fell over was being trolled by a relative and the girl who rang her brother was deliberately trying to provoke her husband with HUMOUR. Don’t take it so seriously! Btw I love your voice it’s such a lovely tone. I bet you can sing.
The Indian saleswoman was caricaturing Brits and was very funny.
Yeah I don't consider her pushy, she's having banter. Irish here, and even in southern Spain tourist areas i don't mind if someone can have a laugh like that, rather than the slightly intimidating/annoying type who get in your face.
Was she Indian or his Lady pretending to be Indian? lol
JULU !!!!!!!! and you were doing so well but The "Californian" lifestyle emerged there. That was CLASSIC British humour in a strong relationship to say "Get up Woman, what are you playing at?".He could see she was OK ..lol The last one was a prank and The "Indian" Woman was a piss take.
Reference Wellington Boots ( originally called Shoes) were a spin off and adapted from a boot called the " Hessian ". Now we British refer to rubber waterproof boots as " Wellies ". The long style of boot became popularised after Sir Arthur Wellesley ( Duke of Wellington ) commissioned his personal shoe maker to work with him designing a practical hard wearing boot in 1814. After he defeated Napoleon the public were in awe of him, anything he wore/did/said was mimicked by his admirers. And his foot wear legacy remains with us to this day
ngl I feel like the joke of the GP one was missed entirely by the reaction of 'yeah, it's a bit long'. that's it. that's the point. it's that long and there's no actual help. that's the entirety of the joke. shortening it down would remove the joke.
Americans really don't understand any humour that isn't their own. /light-hearted
The last one was hilarious. You just don't understand British humour. No one was upset and it shows how at ease they are with each other.
women have a different sense of humour , but still funny.
I'm British and they are all funny. 😂😂Love the show keep up the good work👍
We all think it's funny! Might not be funny in a touchy culture, but we tease each other.
Hello from Glasgow. You've got a really nice community looking at your comments. It says a lot about a person - you can judge a person by the friends he keeps.
Seems like a nice bloke and the only offensive things he's said have been due cultural differences, which he is actively trying to learn about. From Belfast myself and he wouldn't last a day in your gaff or mine but it's refreshing to see someone so innocent 😂
@@beltrofix7667 Send up to us in the Highlands, he'll be alright there.
Wellies are gumboots named after the Duke of Wellington who wore high length black boots. Originally all wellies were black.
1:07 she’s read the room well and knows her customers, her bants is spot on.
Lol, you saying how pushing salespeople put you off is probably the most British thing I've heard you say 😂
11:40 mate it's a joke😭😭😭😭😭almost every couple in the uk uses banter like this "why can't she change the lightbulb" why are you so offended?
The fact that the GP/mental health one is so accurate - I recently had an appointment for my mental health and it went very much like that, my GP told me I’m “too young to be anxious and depressed” and recommended I “go out more” 😬
I've been wondering about booking an appt about mine but feeling like it's probably not worth it seeing stories like yours 😕
Billy Connolly has a song about Wellies it's hilarious .
I know you dont take steroids. But if you did?
The steroids guy sounded Australian.
"Wellies" is short for Wellington boots, waterproof rubber boots that go almost up to the knee. A similar American product would be Galoshes. It's extremely annoying, yet a badge of honour, to accidentally wade into water deep enough to breach the top of the boots!
when the woman fell the guy was just berating her , personally i would have laughed my ass off, but she was fine , us brits we are thick skinned as we need to be cause we dont pander to weakness and laugh at funny things , for instance harsh words denote concern , its sometimes irrelevant whether it sounds good or bad , its just an expression , the other person will know where they stand , i hope i have enlightened you a bit on the british psyche
to clarify even further the way he speaks to her , 100% she speaks to him the same way , mirroring is fairness
also , its a knee jerk reaction , sorta to logically clarify a situation to make it seem more sense , hes not really berating her hes trying to find out info quicksmart once he has ' calmed down ' he will express concern and empathy . i feel like attenborough of British human interactions . Also when camera goes off so will she in a horrendous rage at falling lol JK
Other have said it, but I'll say it again. The lightbulb thing was a joke. British humour innit 😆
Wake upp..and yes mental health at the doctors are like that
JJ I’d love to see you react to British comedians/comedy. Starting with My Muckiest Jokes - Sarah Millican 👍🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧
When you’re searching for things that British people say on google, you need to type uk or Britain afterwards. If you don’t it will give you an American answer.👍
We have a sense of humour that will never really makes sense to you, but I hope that you realize you can't judge our people in the same way as the US! Sorry, but our humour is second to none and your political correctness and so on, is ridiculous!
The pov of the gp appointment was depressingly inaccurate in that the patient actually managed to get a face to face appointment.
The poor man dropped his shopping and to add insult to injury the car landed right on top of it.
You're right, these weren't the funniest ones, wishing you well 🙂
Wellies = wellington boot
PS the lady calling her brother about changing a light bulb was funny
Reasons for not walking the streets with strong magnets in your pockets
3:16 short for wellington boots. Wellies.
You need to Google Wellington boots. That's what wellies are
People are trolling. There are no hand holding rules law
the GP clip is so true most doctor talk like that and act like that and not really helping to get to the problem you missed the point of that clip JJLA and wellies are rubber boots there full name are wellington boots
Wellies are rubber boots for when it rains
This is so true about gps in uk.
That last meme I think you just didn't get, also you stopped the video right where she tells her husband she's getting him (pranking) for tiktok.
Wellies is short for Wellington boots, maybe you call them gum boots?!
Julu didn't get the Guy laughing at the Lady(wife?) falling over in the garden and not being too sympathetic..lol
9:14 the video is fine. the only issue is that you missed the joke. rather uncouth to go after her video when its fine. to be fair i doubt a non brit would understand. maybe just dont include ones you find boring?
11:43 its fine to not get british humour, but maybe keep your misunderstandings a little shorter, maybe edit it better, get better editing skills. like pick the top 3 misunderstandings and just use those.
WELLIES is short for WELLINGTON BOOTS. Named after the Duke of Wellington.
" A tap on tha shooder". Scottish.
NORFOLK is pronounced NORFUK (honestly).
It's no joke that you are only allowed ONE topic at the GPs !! It was in the press the other day !!
I'm a short woman, and always climb on a chair to change my own light bulbs. I will ask him to hold the torch if it's dark though. No real patience with other women who get men to do jobs we can do ourselves.
I feel the same..a woman once said to me "if you've got a dog, why bark yourself?" and I thought that was awfully demeaning to her partner. I am older now and need help but, if I was physically able to do a job around the house, I'd just do it.
