idk what's funnier, matt not even needing to finish saying convicted nonce for evan to react or evans reaction
"How many kids shows had nonces here?"
Now _there's_ a question you don't want to ask! Rolf Harris and Jimmy Savile are the most obvious, prolific and high profile examples, but there are plenty more from around that time who gave off "creepy" vibes and few people would be surprised if any stories came out.
@@stevieinselby I wasn't around back then, but didn't Gary Glitter briefly host a kids show in around about 1974? I seem to remember it being said somewhere that he and Saville each coincidentally (or not) appeared as guests on the other's kiddie show at one point.
@@MrDannyDetailif so, who the h*** gave GARY GLITTER of all people a children's show? Was he EVER considered wholesome children's fare? 😳🤔🤨😳
@@edwardphilibin3151 Even in about 1996 he was still considered wholesome enough (if that's the right phrase) that on children's show Byker Grove the character Geoff, who ran the grove, dressed up as GG and performed one of his songs, Leader Of The Gang, during one episode. Maybe that's one of the reasons why Byker Grove is not legally available anywhere at all (alongside it being owned by Ant and Dec who bought it to have full control over the episodes they appeared in).
And just to add that Gary Glitter also filmed a cameo for Spiceworld The Movie, which was released in 1997 and primarily aimed at children. Although they did cut his cameo out of the film before they actually released it, so the tide was just starting to turn against him around that time.
"why would I read a tabloid newspaper, I'm not a racist" 😂
True.
Overwhelming majority of tabloids are right wing so it checks out
Coincidentally, I found out today that The Guardian is a Berliner, a compact broadheet.
@@pattheplanter i knew that, forgotten it till i just read your comment and will probs forget again within minutes lol.
@@millennialmale4879 So we beat on, boats borne ceaselessly into the past...
Excuse me Evan, you can't just say 'Colin the caterpillar cake' and then show a cake that is most definitely NOT Colin! 😮 Absolutely outrageous. Had to pause the video to tell you this. Couldn't even wait til the end.
It is literally Tescos one, which DOESNT HAVE A NAME?!?
It's like saying Fudgey the Whale, then showing a generic dolphin cake.
Ragebait mayhaps
@@evan I thought you might have done it on purpose, but still felt compelled to comment 😂
@@randomness051(I’m joking) I’d don’t intentionally rage bait. Lil editing error 🙂↔️
Matt's takedown of "Escape to the Country" was HILARIOUS because it was so dead accurate.
He missed the part where they don't actually buy one of the houses
Yeah' I absolutely hate that show. And "Grand Designs".
All of those shows are really fun if you play who’s getting a divorce?
@@LeslieLanagan Yeah, that's another dimension of Grand Designs 🤣
@@johannessamuelsson6578 Oh my God, right? I am never building a house with ANYONE EVER IN MY LIFE if I want to stay friends/married to them.
Every episode of Escape to the Country is identical. The wife wants a ‘craft room’ and the husband wants a garage for a ‘classic car’. They never and up buying anything.
And they have a £700,000 budget despite Tony being a stay at home dad and Angela being a part time fitness coach.
If I remember correctly the show is fake too, often they've already put in an offer on a home at the time, but the show pays them to appear on it and pays the owner of the places they visit(some of which weren't even on sale).
'To Buy or not To Buy' is even worse for the people deciding not to pick any of the houses. To the point where I just referred to the show as 'Not to Buy'
@@Eldriitch and daddy is a big wheel at the Bank of England/Civil Service
@@richardhockey8442 Hahaha as if civil servants can afford shit these days in this country.
“I want to get one still playing, Jill”. She retired last year, so close
Oh ffs! Ahh well.
@@MattGrayYES hi Matt, can I ask where you got your t-shirt from? I really like it 😊
@@samc2It's an amazing t-shirt, isn't it? 😻
After all the daytime TV talk, we need a video of Evan reacting to British daytime TV.
I will let them come to my house, use my TV license and let them watch and react to all of the daytime TV.
Agreed. That would great. Please.
YES
We don’t want him to die of boredom watching lorraine or good morning britain
I used to love it when off school sick. Going for Gold was a fave.
"I'm allergic to Ricky Gervais. He's a c***." 😂 Brilliant Matt, brilliant. You also missed another daytime British institution, Homes Under The Hammer.
This is how I knew I loved him.
My cousin was on homes under the hammer which I guess is kinda cool.
Yes, homes under the hammer where despite being a "big fan of the show" the latest idiot has parted with way too much for the dilapidated property just like last time. Even with all the warnings on the tv show they are such a big fan of.
The Rountree's fruit Pastel brag was because the advertising campaign used to be can you eat one without chewing
Ahhh
So it really IS the same as the tootsie pop! Advertising and all!
Ohhhh I have no memory of this ad haha
@@MattGrayYES You may be a couple of years younger than me (just a couple) lol
Was on for at least 20 years. Finished around 2010ish.
I completed 2 Panini sticker books in the mid 2010's for my nephew and it's no humble brag it's a proud boast lol. It is so much easier to complete these collections when you have a job and money than when you were a kid and you could only afford like 1 pack a week.
I think the closest I ever got was probably around 80% (as a child!) back in 04 for the Euros! Sadly I don't have the book anymore, and really regret actually sticking the stickers in it instead of keeping them like I did for the 02-03 season cards.
Now as an adult, not a chance would I get back into it. I have my own money to spend and I know if I do get into it... I won't have savings for long 🤣
Given the price of the stickers to fill a full book costs around £800, it's ridiculous and IMO never worth it.
It's a fun thing to do with a few packs of stickers if the kids are into it, but absolutely not worth trying to fill up the book.
you can just write the company and order the stickers missing 50cents a sticker.
My humble brag is that I was on the children's antique roadshow when I was 13 (in 1997)and I was the last segment with the most valuable item! 😊
Now that is a proper humble brag!
There was a children's antique roadshow?
Cool.
Nice! Mine is I was on Chris Moyles's late show on Capital FM when I was a teen and he was famous then for hanging up on callers and didn't hang up on me.
@@MarceldeJong It's not, it's just a brag
What did you bring? And what was it like behind the scenes?
11:18 I had a feature from Blue Peter filmed at our house. They were trying to get kids into bird watching and my elder sister was very active in the young ornithologist club. They spliced the footage from our garden and a local park with archive footage of birds we never saw. My sister later went on to work for the RSPB. Stuart Miles was the presenter.
Blue Peter cheated?? Oh no!
Do remember as a kid,when the Blue Peter garden got vandalised,and it became national news for about a week; until a few decades later,at least 2 certain England international footballers 'alledgedly' admitted to doing the 'dastardly deed' as a 'teenage lark' ! 😂
5:02 (Partially) Left-handed person here. When Evan read out that comment my first thought was “That's strange, I don't think I've ever seen the instructions accessible from the opening of the box.”
Fellow left handed: for me it's 50/50. Hmmm maybe more 70/30, with 70 being the instructions on top
Also left handed, leaflet every time 🥲
As soon as Rolf showed up, I thought: “…good luck Matt” 😂😂😂
Matt is just pure joy.
Especially on a bench
He's got a great channel!
@@y_fam_goeglyd I've been subscribed for years!
Matt is an incredible and amazing human being.
As a lefty I was like 'what are they on about, the leaflet is at the bottom of the pack'. Never knew the idea was it was designed so you would read it as I always open it from the other side so you are correct, left handed people do not have this problem.
The bounciest man on the internet
Mystery biscuits!
At last someone who knows!
The man putting butt into butter.
(if you haven't seen that outtake from citation needed go find it! It's bloody hilarious)
@@MarceldeJong oh yeah
Do any of you happen to know where Matt's top is from?
As a left-hander, I can confirm that I generally don’t have the instructions getting in the way of my pills!
As another leftie- it gets me every time! Maybe I try to avoid it, and therefore double bluff myself!
I get it about 70% 😂
the comment about being able to do things as an adult that you couldn't as a kid rings true to me. The other day I ate a whole box of after eights for breakfast. Afterwards, I realised why my parents never would have let me do it as a kid...
“No milk please” is a note you leave outside your house door as you have milk delivered and normal order might be pint of silver and one gold top.
Herman's Hermits 'No Milk Today' - a hit in 1966
People have their milk delivered in 2024? They know you can get milk and your entire shopping delivered by Tesco right?
Would be more of a humble brag to say you're buying gold top.
@@franklingoodwinWhere I used to live there was a farm a people got fresh milk delivered from there. It was genuinely better than store bought ones and wasn't all that expensive.
@@franklingoodwinsupposedly it's making a small comeback as, 'people turn their backs on supermarkets & plastic.' Small dairies & companies will deliver fresh milk to them by 7am daily. Market it as eco friendly, they take the glass bottles back & reuse them as many times as is safe.
One of my favourite lessons in school was looking at all the different versions of a news story in various news papers
that would be media studies
Panini stickers are definitely not a British-only thing. It’s an Italian company and those stickers were popular all over Europe. I had those sticker books as well as a kid in Eastern Europe back in the 90s
I was wondering, in fact I remember calciatori panini being very popular in Italy when I was a kid.
They don't even do the football stickers, that's Merlin.
@@Tillyard86 panini do football stickers that’s for sure. Merlin seems like a British thing. Never heard of them. I don’t think they were available in my home country.
Panini is (or at least was) also very popular in Brazil for The sticker books
Panini are available in Canada as well, but usually movie or tv show tie in stickers.
The Tinned Fray Bentos Pie was actually developed by British armed forces Porton Down research facility. It is a cunningly designed anti-personnel device, which employs the allure of a tasty pie with a finger-amputating outer case. I believe it has been banned under International law, in the same category as cluster munitions and mustard gas. Due to a planning error, the TFBP has an average expiry date of 179 years, and cannot be destroyed without opening the lid, releasing the aforementioned digit-dissecting Armageddon. As such, it been released for public consumption in all good Asda and Tesco’s stores. It is now a long-tern study in Eugenics….
My Humble brag - Was on Tizwas, and was flanned by the Phantom Flan Flinger
Was a plate of shaving cream, my eyes stang like anything, and no towels or cleanup provided at all.
Ah, the 80's, when H&S was not a consideration for a 11 year old child in the audience of a show.
13:37 Glad to know I'm not the only one who always imitates George Clark every time he says 'amazing'.
I'm in New Zealand and we love to say amaaaaazin' spaaaces when watching too.
My maths teacher was on Homes Under The Hammer with "his best mate Dan" (that elicited a lot of laughs), and we talked him into playing us the full episode instead of doing our work 😂
The fruit pastille brag was in reference to an old TV ad that basically said you couldn’t eat one without chewing
As a German it's always so interesting to me that Viennettas are/were also super popular in the UK! I remember begging my dad to get us one in the late 90s and early 2000s, it always felt so fancy when we did get one 😂
We used to have them for dessert weekly when I was a child. They were so good!!!
@@elaineb7065 Still do get them a few times a yr mint best, see they now do a birthday cake version.
I remember being really excited when my parents got it, and then being disappointed about he taste... multiple times😂
The fruit pastille one was a reference to an advert from years back (probably 1970s/80s) that said bet you can’t eat one without chewing.
Watching this makes me miss getting more Matt Gray in my life ! Citation Needed and the Park Bench were amazing series
You know I’ve got my own channel right? :D
@MattGrayYES yes and I love it ! Big fan of the stenography vid you did recently.
“No milk, please”
Based on my childhood I think it refers to the note you leave for the milkman if you still have milk from the last delivery
That's what I thought too.
Or you're going away for the weekend.
@@EmyrDerfel oooooo that’s a good possibility
you and Matt work so well together you make some very funny content .
I was working in one of the restaurants at a Center Parcs near me part time while doing my A levels. I've never been on a holiday there before and didn't really believe my parents when they said it was too expensive, but after working there I can definitely see how they really gouge your money out. The lodges to stay in are a several pounds for a few days and all the restaurants are very overpriced. I worked in a fast food type restaurant (Dexters) where families can easily spend over £80 on burgers, chips and drinks. Then all the activities are also paid for separately.
I now understand why my parents avoided it!
A humble brag is when you try to hide your brag as a complaint or humble comment, right? Something like "Accidentally bought so much I had to get the people at Harrods to deliver it. I'm awful at judging how much I can carry!"
Or "sorry I don't know I haven't watched day time tv"
The Fruit Pastilles one is a reference to an advertising campaign. "Can you put a Rowntree's Fruit Pastille in your mouth without chewing it?"
This feels like a crossover of universes!
You two are MADE to create together this was gold 😂
There are people who DON'T just gnaw on a block of sharp/mature cheddar? Inconceivable!
top tip nobody calls them hotspur
Before Rolf was Yewtree'd I saw one of his paintings on sale in a local shop. It was quite expensive, and I wasn't really sure that I wanted it...
I was humming and hawing over it for ages!
oh man, your videos with matt are so much fun! loved this!
The problem with the Panini sticker books is that they are Italian and widely sold across Europe. So a lot of people will get that one.
I completed the FA Premier League 1996-97 sticker album which I think was actually Merlin.
I'd be willing to watch a MOTD series hosted by these two
Rather them than Alex Scott and Jermaine Jenas, as is the way it will go.
The problem with Arsenal is they always try to walk it in.
Humble Brag, I can easily eat 3 shredded wheat
This, but Weetabix
@@elaineb7065 oh I can eat about 6 of them lol
I love your vids with Matt. Keep them coming.
My British flex is that if I call my doctors before 9am I will 100% get an appointment that day (might be a phone call appointment, but it's still an appointment)
Meanwhile ringing up after 3 mins and being 14th in the queue to get into the queue to speak to someone who aint even a doctor who tells you to use their app which doesnt work
Was feeling a bit blue today. This video solved that. Loved it!
Am I hallucinating a blind tea taste test episode, Evan? It may have been my first ever Evan episode watch…
I linked the video in the annotations!
I got an ex colleague who was going back to Australia the Colin the Caterpillar cake as his last 'experience of British culture' at his leaving dinner. Everyone else remembered how good the cake is!
Please keep bringing Matt on the channel, the vibe between you two is immaculate.
This was once again a delight. I enjoy watching you two bounce off each other
With the kind of endless cool we British admire, one comment to Prefab Sprout’s video for ‘I am the King of Rock and Roll’ was: my uncle was one of the dancing hotdogs. Got to love it.
Wow, I can still visualise those really well, dancing next to the pool! Kudos to you and your uncle!
Bargain hunt and Escape to the country is like my favourite series, the description of them is hillarious.
A lot of ads for fruit pastilles were built on the premise that it is impossible to resist chewing them.
I enjoy watching you and Matt chat 😊
Evan was talking about Grand Designs, and not George Clark's Amazing Spaces that Matt thought!
Grand Designs! That was actually it
I honestly thought he was actually talking about Homes Under The Hammer, because we see the same home pre-renovation, at auction, and post-renovation.
@@MrDannyDetailI did until he said about the guy moving to Cornwall
When on offer, i will just buy a jamaican ginger cake and eat that as a bar.
Love this... and Matt Gray is awesome...lol
Please do a video of the experiment where you look at the same stories across a bunch of tabloids, Evan - throw in a couple of broadsheets as well and you've basically done your GCSE English Language coursework (circa 2002), lol.
Panini was a lot more than just soccer, I think every Disney and some other kids movies had its own Panini collection as well.
I had the Darkwing Duck and Little Mermaid ones
My Panini was dinosaurs
I had a transformers one. I want to say it came out around the time of the animated movie (1986)
There were ones associated with all sorts of children's characters too. I found the 1980s My Little Pony one recently & it's still missing a couple of stickers!!!
I remember having a MASK one, which no one else collected, which made it hard to swap it in the playground.
You make a great duo! I'd love to see more videos with you 2!
I'm Belgian and knew most of the brags because we either have/had the same in Belgium or I've seen it on BBC.
You didn’t mention the best show of all - Grand Designs
I think you mean Homes Under The Hammer
and four in a bed
I’ve regularly purchased a whole cake and eaten it myself. I really enjoy adult money, but my diet doesn’t 😂
I relate. While I was living in Ireland, I was addicted to Tesco's Strawberry Trifle. Would regularly buy a couple of them and eat the whole 600g bowl in one sitting. Ended up being 25 kgs heavier by the time I moved back to the Continent. 😭
Your chemistry is amazing its so enjoyable more videos maybe one on the travel channel
I love Matt! Please have more videos with him
I want that purple shirt with the cats!
Canadian here. Escape To The Country is my FAAAAAAAAVOURITE show. I dream of being part of that 'couple from London who wants to escape the city and has 4 million pounds to spend' ha ha ha
I love it too! Especially the part where they do some random little activity while the host gives historical tidbits about the region :)
I seem to recall there was an ad-campaign about Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles saying "You can't help but chew!", so they're bragging about defeating the challenge.
I had zero interest in sports as a child but thanks to Panini stickers I could instantly recognise the face of every world cup player from all 24 teams.
I'm a little behind, but I'm definitely gonna search for that fray bentos pie video.
They're a staple for the back of the cupboard for that one day that your fridge-freezer fails.
If you haven't had one yet, I'd definitely recommend lining the shelf underneath, because the gravy ALWAYS bubbles over.
Also, the best tin opener to get into them is the style you'll find on a multi-tool (the bit people mistake for a bottle opener), or the army ration pack style.
OOOO rocking the Porter T-Shirt!
Shoutsout Mr. Robinson one time!
The point about going to Centerparcs in the school holidays is that the price varied depending on when you went - school holidays were often two or three times the price of term time and there were scandals for a while about parents taking kids out of school to go when it was affordable. I think people don't remember going because most parents (like me) stopped doing it when their kids hit school age.
It's Matt! Lovely to see him again!
Two pretty cool t-shirts right there
Evan and Matt: fashion icons
@@evannot 😂
Hooray, you and Matt are such a good pairing. 😀
Earl gray, hot. -Picard
Realising You’ve been framed was just UA-cam before UA-cam was a thing
And my favourites back then were still the cats videos 😂😺💓
Mayo instead of Butter is criminal
That's only true if you're from a nation that routinely puts butter on bread that isn't toast.
@@jwb52z9 mayo is disgusting so it should be criminal everywhere
Basically every supermarkets in the uk sells cheese sandwiches with mayo instead of butter it’s horrible
@@jwb52z9no, we use margarine on cold bread. Mayo makes the bread wet. Marg forms a barrier between the bread and any moisture in the filling.
I'm from Spain and we collected Tazo but also played with them. You would stack a pile of tazos with your adversary and each would throw another tazo in order to get as many tazos turned around as possible. The ones you managed to turn around, you'd win.
I remember the Looney Tunes tazos but my favourite were the Chiquito de la Calzada (a Spanish comedy legend) collection
I was a bit confused as you were talking about the paracetamol packets until you mentioned left handed people, I’m left handed and I never open the packet with the leaflet on top. 😂
Loved your rapport 😊
i had so many tazos as a kid. some of them were just normally round, but others had those little indents and they fit into one another. so i'd be in my room assembling them to make stuff
I only ever use newspaper for drawing out costume patterns. I forget it’s actually meant to be readable material 😂
I get the Metro for free on a commute long enough for all 3 Sudoku and the quick crossword, and then use the rest of it for spray painting, dismantling bicycles or scrunched up drying wet shoes.
I had one of those albums! One of my classmates worked at the company that made/printed the stickers. He always had the hard to get stickers and would never miss an opportunity to rub it on our faces xD
I was on Blue Peter (23 November 1989) - with my school musical (teacher wrote all our musicals. His partner had some BBC connection, and got us on!)
The tea conversation makes me think i should start making my own videos. Ive moved here to the UK a little over a year for Uni and now i get homesick when i go back to the US, so i think im going to start making my own and make videos about my own experiences here.❤❤ starting with an Earl Grey tea taste test!!!!
Go for it! Just don't do it because you want fame or money
@@sie4431 nope! I'm doing it mainly for fun! My goal is to be an author, and do side hustles if I get monetized. I'd I get famous I'd rather it be from the complex book series I'm writing!
the center parc on is so true. every activity costs except for swimming , but if you work there you get them for free (unless there is consumables)
Keep bringing Matt on!! I miss the Tech Diff gang!
Evan you TOTALLY need to do a whole video on trashy tabloids. North Americans just don't get it.
We did centre parcs twice in my childhood. It was genuinely lovely. My parents paid as I was a kid so I avoided the trauma of the cost
It’s dutch. It used to be a lot cheaper. Resort for families. During school holidays the price is double.
Every dutch person has been to one, even if they don’t admit it…
It was back in the 80’s so not “mortgage your house” thankfully. We did Sherwood Forest and the Forest of Dean.
LMAO I also had a pog maker and remember it fondly. It came with blank pogs with sticker adhesive on top. You would peel the sticker and put the blank in the bottom, and then there was a slot on the side of the machine that allowed you to line up the part of a picture you wanted on the pog, then you pressed down on the top and it would cut out the pog sized circle and push it onto the blank pog below.
"I remember there being any moral panic about anything footballers did in the 90's) tell that to the fan that took Eric Cantona's football boot to the face. 🤣 And the TV show he was talking about was Grand Designs.
I love this pairing, but it's very weird seeing Matt lower than someone, when he's normally towering over Tom Scott!
Evan, your collaborator on this one is a very funny guy. 🤣🤣🤣
It’s true
Totally with you on the Kerrigold 👍
Panini card albums and Tazos. Yeah, we had those in Brazil as well, and I was surprised to see them here in the UK as well.
Tazos were made to be played as well. It worked like like marbles in a very distant past. You would bet your Tazos in a pile, and throw a tazo disk onto them, and you would collet all those who flipped up.
And stop dissing Bargain Hunt...I like it. LOL
Lovely to see Matt here! He's an absolute hoot! I'm not sure if he was a "bad influence" on Tom Scott or it was the other way around 😂
Evan, you should make shorts following up on these things you learned today, like going to that resort or opening up a paracetamol bottle
I've had fray bentos pies before.
They taste better than you'd expect for a pie from a tin, but worse than standard pies in cardboard boxes.
I guess it's cool for long term storage, but I'd rather just stockpile beans and dried goods
Fun fact the average cost to complete and fill a Panini Football Sticker Album today in the UK is £800! Complete vintage sticker albums from the 1970s to 1980s can sell for £80-£200 and more! Individual stickers for Football 1972 can sell for £2 to £3 each!
