I’m so glad you actually look up things you’re curious about as opposed to asking people to tell you what things are in the comments. Definitely saves all of us a lot of time on this one.😂
I hate when reaction channels do this with British shows, they don’t understand but rather than google it they look blank . Not all reactors some are brilliant at doing their research . I like this guy . He’s got a very soothing voice as well as a side note!
That was exactly what I was going to say. How can you react to something, if you don't understand what you're reacting to? I applaud you for this.
Except when reacting to a well put together explorative video like this, where everything he looks up is explained in some detail in the video mere seconds after he's looked it up.
Then it's just duplication.
If he still doesn't understand after the discussion has finished, _then_ by all means, look into it further.
They do it purposefully so you comment thus helping make them £££
@@joshua.910 Who are the "They" and "them" you are talking about so cynically? The reactor? Who you are also commenting on and thus 'making £££'?
Your post is ambiguous, aggressive, and unhelpful.
Calling a battenberg a cookie is so American
@JJLAreacts it's cake lol
I hate it, my daughter calls all biscuits "cookies" instead of just "a cookie" a cookie.
@@ColinRichardsonSo what's _the ONE defined cookie'???_
@@laragara the ones the "cookie monster" eats.. Biscuit with Chocolate Chips.
@@ColinRichardson A biscuit with chocolate chips---- ISN'T a biscuit with chocolate chips---- but is a *cookie!??*
Does that mean that a biscuit with _anything_ in it becomes a 'cookie'???
Thought he was gonna Google The Sun page 3 🤣
I was disappointed he didn’t 😂
@@SeanONeill-ef5vb He probably did but had to edit it out and re take for you know why lol.
The edit probably took most of the day as his eyes were probably out on storks for most of the day.
Same😂
The TV ads for years had the tagline - 'bet you can't put a Rowntree's Fruit Pastille in your mouth without chewing it!'
'The only thing you can really do with a Rowntree's fruit pastille is chew!'
Batternburg is not a cookie its sponge wrapped in marzipan
Fray Bentos pies are known as "landmine pies" at my house after my FinL tried to cook one without removing the lid and blew the oven door off!
😂
😂
Omg, I have a similar story except it didn’t explode until my housemate put the tin opener in, the whole pie exploded out of the tiny hole and hit the ceiling and showered the kitchen. 😂😂😂😂😂

I enjoy saying "steak and kidney pudding" to Americans and watching them go green.
Kidney is delicious, but I am British.
@@wolfie854 I love steak and kidney pies and puddings - but without the kidney! I always pick out the offal...
kidney and liver are fine. tripe is grim af.
Those 2 guys are like a weird, but funny, double act! 😂
2 old women sitting on a bench, when a naked guy runs past. 1 old woman had a stroke…the other one couldn’t quite reach!! 😂
Are you suggesting they swap Evan in for Tom on the park bench :O
@@ryledra6372 I got that reference!
I'm left handed and I still open the paracetamol box leaflet side, it's frustrating (real world problems 😂)
Do not pay $17.00 for fruit pastilles, that's outrageous
"That's not a humble brag, that's a declaration of owning junk" 😂
Great reaction, wishing you well 😀
I open pill packets at the date stamped end, then just remove the leaflet (which is often larger than the the actual contents) and discard without reading!
The idea of a sandwich with no butter, is anathema to Europeans.
Vis-a-vis Rolf Harris, "Can you tell what it is yet?" Developed a whole new meaning.
I once bought a pack of six eggs, and every one was a double yoker!
JJ, these aren't humble brags...they're just brags. A humble brags would be, as you said, to comparing about something but you're really showing off. For example, "I'm so annoyed - I need a new tyre for my brand new lamborghini and it'll cost me a fortune"
I love Matt's attitude of "Now I'm an adult..." I'm going to carry that vibe into my life...
Wait times in the NHS are lower than US wait times, but GP phonetics have long queues.
It's so they don't have wait times for appointments. Loophole to offer any appointments that are free that day.
And they are usually staffed by grumpy women who see themselves as the gatekeepers of the surgery
I'm a brit but I highly doubt that, provided they have good insurance.
I don't think any of these are 'humble' brags. A humble brag is "Oh, I was so embarrassed when I won the contest with out knowing I had entered"
Yep 😂
We don't eat steak and kidney because we have to we eat it because we like it.
Tipping Point, The Chase and Pointless..that's my afternoon. My humble brag..I got through auditions to be on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Sadly, my boss wouldn't give me the time off because she was having a boob job at the time. Have won virtual millions on the game though.😅.😅😅
The firm Fray Bentos is named after the town in Argentina where they originated. The parents of a WW1 British officer used to sell Frey Bentos tinned meats in their grocery shop. As their son was a tank commander, with typical dark British humour, he named the tank "Frey Bentos". It would end up as one of the most famous tanks of WW1. Google ""Frey Bentos", the tank that inspired "Fury"".
Name the Cuban leader that's been in power since the revolution in 1959
Almost every tabloid newspaper in the UK upto around the mid 90s had a page 3 Pin Up. As a British Soldier in the 90s, my Striker (CVR(T)), had several of those ladies pinned up inside. A real moral booster.
2:16 That background music is for a football show called Match Of The Day and is iconic.
The tune itself is called "Offside", composed by Barry Stoller who also wrote music for The Sweeney, Tiswas and the original Dawn Of The Dead.
$17 for fruit pastilles 😳
They only cost the equivalent to $1.59!
Might be a big bag....?
@@kylethompson1379it would have to be like a kilos worth
Battenburg is cake covered in marzipan. It's my all time fave, but definintely not a biscuit. Yum yummy.
My humble brag would be that I am related to Paul Robinson who played in goal for Leeds United & England!
That's a brag, alright!
MARCHING ON TOGETHER!!
The fact the guy practically rattled off the whole detailed plot of every escape to the country episode 😂
11:25 if anyone doesn't know what Stickle Bricks were, they were like LEGO building blocks but instead of the short round plug joining system they had rows of short flexible "sticks" over them, like a brush, if you put two together they intermeshed and joined.
Love centre parcs. £600 in term time, £1800 in the holidays!
Advantage of living in another country where the school holidays are at a different time!
this man has a lovely voice, he should do kids bedtime stories OR, if he wanted he could sound really scary if playing a whispering murderer lol
My humble brag, my 9 day old son was used in a movie staring Glenda Jackson and Dirk Bogarde!
Hi from Ireland 🇮🇪 I love listening to your voice your so calming you should do voice over on relaxation videos 😊😊😊😊 I just watch to hear you talk 😂😂😂
Ricky Gervais has quite a few people who dislike him for many reasons but mostly connected with his stand-up. Those who are more liberal in their politics see him as punching down to some of the most maligned in society (ie trans people) for cheap laughs and those who are politically more conservative see him as vulgar. His actual tv shows and films don’t garner the same level of criticism and neither did his stint as the host of the Golden Globes (though most in the UK would have only seen it on UA-cam as if they are even aired live on tv here, it’s the middle of the night).
Ricky just exposes the hypocrisy of the wokeness today and the various delusional people who practice it- love him 🏴
I wrote a whole spiel but yours is much more coherent.
@@CarolWoosey-ck2rg yeah, how dare people care about how the words and actions of people affect others. The world is obviously a far better place if people only care about themselves and go out of their way to malign others for just being who they are and how terrible is it that they actually vocalise this to those who have millions of pounds in the bank and a worldwide following. I mean, Ricky’s feelings are obviously so much more important than those who might be borderline su!cidal due to lack of understanding about their sexuality or because they find it impossible to lose weight (and keep it off) due to medical conditions or in the case of many women the biological changes that come with pregnancy and menopause. Because being able to get a cheap laugh as a wealthy middle aged white man is way more important.
I have no issue with near the bone jokes in general (even if they are far better when it’s the privileged that are the butt of it) but it’s Ricky’s sense of superiority that comes with his delivery that grates and there are so many comedians that do it better. Nothing wrong with his tv and film offerings though, as they tend to be much more of a reflection of actual people in the UK, instead of the almost bullying that his stand up offers.
Not a fan then? 😂
@@thebillyhunt9216 not particularly of his stand-up but I tried not to make it too obvious in my initial comment as I was just aiming for additional context.
Yes a humble brag. These are used often used on Vinted they say lovely dress but only selling due to weight loss or dress only worn once for a cruise.
Purple t-shirt man does not speak for the common man 🤣
He’s a soy latte type
He’s a soy latte fan
@@personalcheeses8073Nothing wrong with that
The issue with Center Parcs is that the costs of staying there double during school holiday time - so saying you wenty there in the school holidays is bragging about your wealth!
Just to clarify, when people talk about NHS wait times they are not referring to the amount of time you spend in a queue on the phone :D
To give some context, I recently received a letter telling me I have been added to the waiting list for an appointment. That letter has taken a year to come. There are no estimates for when the appointment will be, but it is known that the lists are multiple years long. This is just for diagnosis. If I were to ‘queue jump’ by paying to get a private diagnosis I would not be eligible for any NHS support.
This is not ADHD btw, I’ve already been on that list four years……same story despite having gone through two triage tests to get on the waiting list.
NHS is amazing, they are why I didn’t go bankrupt in addition to having cancer, but living with conditions that really affect your life and ability to work for such a protracted time is not in any way efficient.
Best one- my nan was on page 3 in the Sun. Hilarious
I used to love Ricky Gervais, I understood he was playing a character in his stand-up and being a little bit provocative. But recently he seems to have gone against the trans community, and punching down is never cool in comedy. Marginalised groups shouldn't be a punchline. I think he's lost a lot of his original fans. But he's probably gained a load of right-wing fans, and he's still a millionaire, so he probably doesn't care. If I was a millionaire I think I'd try to be the best, most caring and inclusive version of myself, the anti-JKR. But that's just me, maybe millionaires don't care about their legacy and want to be hateful.
Completely agree. Don't know why they've decided to dedicate their lives to hating people who have no impact on their lives. Pathetic.
the problem with ricky is everyone assumed he was playing a character when he acted like an un-self aware tediously annoying twat. Then it turned out he just was one.
Jeeez... Matt Gray has got a set of gnashers on him!
I bet he could eat an apple thru a tennis racket.
Brass eye? Worth it😅
i am left handed & i think the chap might have a point when they mentioned the paracetamol brag i thought 'i've never noticed that.
Thou if you opened it with the front facing away from you it would be the same as left handed. Thou ofc you would have to open the flap towards you & be the rule breaker type.
They missed the point with the Rowntrees Fruit Pastilles. For decades their advertising has suggested that it’s impossible to eat one without chewing it. Haven’t bought any for years, but I think it still says it on most if not all of the current packaging it’s a bit like the challenge to eat a doughnut without licking your lips.
There was on old commercial for Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles that challenged consumers to eat one without chewing it, as in, it's almost impossible not to chew a Fruit Pastille. Hence, if you consumed one without chewing it, you're automatically some kind of confectionary chew-resistant legend.
Ah, Center Parcs - we've only started going recently as a family, as my sister got a job there so once per year can get a heavy discount on a week long stay.
There were adverts that said "all you can do is chew" for Rowntres's fruit pastels.
Lurpak is not even from the British Isles. It's awful. We and Ireland have the best pastures in the world. Our butter is the best.
So true. Lurpak is awful. Irish, then English then New Zealand the best in the world
"Hard like my Uncle" erm.... OK then 😂
I live in Canada, and I remember kids collecting the Panini stickers in the early 90's, when my sons were young. We also have quite a few English food shops in our city, so we can get most of the food in this video, including Battenburg cake, which I'll get occassionally to have with tea.
A Frey Bentos minced beef and onion pie is incredible. Honestly, that pastry!!!!
A fry Bentos is a tinned (canned) pie, that as a child was a treat. Bit tricky getting the lid off with a can opener, hence the brag. No, steak AND KIDNEY even in 2024 is delicious. Cheers
We had cards too, back in the 1970s. Stickers came along in the late 70s/early 80s.
7:39 It's pronounced as in centre, like the middle. It's notoriously expensive. 9:58, it's cake! 10:54 depends where you live 13:25 no, no, you need to google page 3😂 16:33 you not understanding most of these are hilarious😂😂 18:31 ben shepard makes it worth it 😂
10:45 register online at your NHS surgery's system and you don't need to phone to book an appointment you can do appointments, request prescriptions and check personal records too. You can with mine, I'm sure you can with others and if you can't you can go via the NHS themselves.
We also have a similar thing to the baseball cards you described but for football, they're called Match Attax
Yorkshire Gold is the tea people who have never had good tea think is good.
And you can't even make it as strong as normal Yorkshire tea!!!
Worst thing is Taylors do have some very nice teas (which supermarkets never bloody have), and normal Yorkshire is probably the best in its class, but Yorkshire Gold is just cynical marketing BS.
4:51 I have, and it was one of the clips that were repeated every Christmas. It was out school nativity play and all the Reception (kindergarten) kids were dressed as either angels and shepherds and one of the lads fell asleep so the video was panning across all of us to show him out like a light. We bought some climbing frames for the gym/assembly hall/theatre with the £250.
The sun newspaper had topless model on page 3 stoped it in about 2000
The sun is banned in Liverpool
Socially banned and rightly so.
Wasn't it because of how they handled the Hillsborough disaster?
Luvvvv Fray Bentos pie's, flakey puff pastry, steak and kidney with rich gravy.
Luvvvv Fray Bentos puddings with suet pastry, soft and luscious on the palette.
So, when last did you have one? as in, when last did you attempt to open one? They don't have ring-pull lids, and even our "robust" can openers broke in the attempt. Fray Bentos was not interested, even after we emailed photographs of our bleeding hands and a mangled still-unavailable uncooked pie! Shame on them!
Vienetta made us feel more fancy than we where or are it was marketed as fancy but wasnt expensive
An onion fritter is like a bhaji It is Indian and we use the Indian word out of respect. Indian restaurants out number the population of the UK. A bhaji is a starter along with poppadoms mango chutney and lime pickle. Follow that with a Bhuna and Pillau. 2 pints of Cobra. perfect evening.
Omg, I had 2 young boys. I wasted so much money on those stickers every year. Ricky Gervais IS sooo popular in UK. There was an advert that sung "Gotta chew, gotta chew" and tell kids they have to try to resist chewing Fruit Pastilles. I have a minced beef and onion FB pie and I am afraid of opening it.
Get some of those chain mail type gloves! They are good!
@@drwoo6090 🤣🤣
We had a Golden Chuppa Chup's slammer, magic🤓👍🏾. We had all the pogs🤩🤩
Fruit pastile reference is from an old 80s ad. I'm now sad that reference will die with us 😉
There was a chuckle with the Panini stickers when people were looking for Seaman.
The reason people dislike Ricky Gervais is that his 'humour' now is full of transphobia, homophobia etc.
Some people dislike Ricky, and lots of people like Ricky, its not that he is multi phobic, but just fed up with these people ramming their ideologies down our throats. Trans and gays can be their own worst enemies.
Laughable and ridiculous nonsense.
@@vallejomach6721 Yes, exactly what I expected. Predictable
@@buddyhekthere isn’t an ideology for gay or trans people, they just want to be treated like everyone else after years of the majority shoving their actual ideologies down their throats.
@@buddyhek Daring to exist and expecting basic human respect is not 'ramming their ideologies' down anyone's throat. Give over.
Speaking of You've Been Framed, Lisa Riley has returned to Emmerdale🤔
Going to centre parks in the middle of the term is well off because if you take term time off in term time you get fined.
As an 80s kid I had a few completed Panini sticker albums and none were football
Peter Kay eloquently explains hob nob dipping IYKYK 😂
Yorkshire Gold...best tea ever :-)
That’s a load of Tottenham that is. That’s a steaming pile of Hotspur
It's Spursy, mate.
We love center parcs and yes it's a pricey holiday
i needed this after the last few days of madness on youtube! thankyou
Yay 🎉 let’s all watch someone watch someone watch something!
I’m 62 and have been watching motd all my life and I didn’t know the theme tune was called offside.COYS.
Panini Does all kinds of stickers. Not just football.
I've never filled one, so I consider that a brag.
I remember doing the Super Mario one and Carebears one, but we didn't have much money. You'd get loads of repeats too.
I completed the first Carebears sticker book, and I am gutted it got thrown out when we moved house 😢😂
Fray Bentos pies... Food of Kings! Especially Steak n Kidney.
The sun newspaper is terrible! During the hillsborough disaster , the paper reported that Liverpool fans were stealing from the dead, dying and injured football fans. They were doing no such thing and were trying to help each other!
They even made a claim that some had pissed on people, too. It's no wonder people in Liverpool refuse to buy the Sun.
The Sun (& the old 'News of the World') were two tabloid newspapers that I always refused to buy. The power that Rupert Murdoch and his UK company News Corp have is unbelievable and more than a bit scary. The fact that he can literally influence who people vote for and into government is ridiculous to me. Yet our politicians have to try to keep him/them on side and pander to them and invite them to Downing Street and alike. It's no wonder that his US media company was sued and had to pay out several hundred million $ after the 2020 election that Trump lost cos they propagated, fueled the conspiracy theories and aired people who were quite literally nutters who repeated the lie of a stolen election cos the man they backed (Trump) lost. Newspapers used to print stories based on fact and evidence that supported what they said. Now, they print opinions that are biased in one way or another to fit the narrative they wanna push. It's really no surprise that many (most) people today don't trust legacy media. They've ruined their own businesses and publications in many cases. And what are we left with? Conspiracy theories, bullshit and uneducated opion and unimvestigated assumptions pumped out on TikTok and other social media. And a lot of people believe it too sadly. In the case of The Sun, I can trace their demise back to how they reported Hillsborough, and The News of the World, they died the day they hacked the murdered schoolgirl Millie Dowlers phone and making it seem she was alive bcos her voicemails were being picked up n listened to giving that poor family her friends and the police false hope she was alive. Murdoch, his tabloid rags, and many of those who work(ed) for him like Kelvin McKenzie are total and utter scum!
(I'm really sorry for that rant, but it all had to be said. As it's all the honest truth!)
Baseball is no way like cricket Baseball is rounders that was play by girls at schools in the UK
I collected Steike ‘75 and Strike ‘76 (never completed) then Love Is… stickers. Never completed that either. Always got loads of one that no one wanted to swap. And @JJLAreacts, peeling the back off a sticker and sticking it in an album is way more satisfying than putting cards in an album 😄
Have to agree Earl Grey is the only tea to drink if you have it black
-we've already done that" 😅
I think that normally, the paracetamol leaflet is packaged from the end that has the use by date on the closure flap. So I've started opening from the other end.
Mine is very simple. I've never seen Star Wars.
Fray bentos pies rock especially the steak and kidney and steak and ale don't knock it until you try it
I've been a guest on 'Kilroy' (_twice_)
...two different topics.
Were you one of the posh ones he wanted on his programme?
@@margaretflounders8510
Hi .. re Kilroy... No I doubt he wanted me for being posh..
Once was because of my first husband told me he wasn:t going to spend his birthday with me...
"because he wanted to enjoy himself..."
And the other programme was about older women with younger men friends... 🤔
They made me sound like some sort of horrid hussey but unfairly...but of course that's my opinion?!? 🤔🤭🥺
Gonna hazard a guess this thread was posted to reddit during the double whammy of leaving the EU and covid. A lot of food was hard to come by for a time.
The English fella in this episode , wasn’t he in Undateable’s
I remember filling in the film 'ET' sticker book back in the day!
I actually gasped when you said you didn’t know what pogs were. And now I feel old.
The Fray Bentos Pie unlocked so many core memories. I think I've eaten every flavor, not willingly might I add lol.
The chicken curry one is the least offensive flavor.
Humble brag lol. Went to centerparcs not once but twice growing up! and Ribby Hall once. The two times were for my grandads birthday and the ribby hall one was a pre christmas family trip. My grandparents paid and I think everyone else chipped in a bit. It was the best holidays ever because to get the cost down, we fit as many people as we could so it was my grandparents, my mum dad me and my brother, my mums sister, her husband and 2 boys, my mums brother his wife and son and my grandmas sister and her son. We only paid for activities on one of the holidays (though I think my aunt whos family was better off than us paid for more activities for my cousins) and we only did 2 activities... mum made me do basket weaving with her... but the other one was quadbike riding so that was good
An adult man from England who doesn't like football or Ricky Gervais.
I bet he's the life and soul of the party.
He's an insufferable SJW.
You talking about me? There’s plenty of us and we’re fun 😅
Oh no a man who has different opinions
oh no, he doesn't have one of the 2 things 40 year old divorcee's think makes a personality. How shocking.
As a kid, I filled the Panini book of football in 1982...... I've still got it
There used to be an advert about the fruit pastels, along the lines of bet you chew.
You can't say baseball is American cricket anymore as you have cricket and a national team now.
As a fellow Brit the guy in the purple shirt is what is wrong with my country. He throws the term racist so easily unaware of the dame that poisonous terms like that can end careers.
I had a football sticker book in the late 80s. Surprising how many doubles you would have. Needed 50 at the end so sent off for them to fill the book.
This purple man is giving off insufferably intolerant woke energy. You dont have to dislike people or assume they are racist because their politics or opinions are different to your own.
Not a British one, but from the Bible. Bear in mind that traditionally, Moses was thought to have written Exodus.
"Now the man Moses was very humble, more than any person who was on the face of the earth."
