The support on this video has been fucking mental. Just shows that it's not "roasting somebody" mindlessly, but that there is a genuine issue here. Nice one you lot.
1st time ive ever watched your vid and have to say what a cracking job you done putting your point across, and thanks for bringing single mums etc into it, I myself have been a single mum from the start and it's always been a struggle, when you have to ether Buy food, or use the money to Heat your house!! Even now I have to sell my possessions to pay for car repairs :( when Alfie has 4 bloody cars on the Drive GGRRRRRRR. Good job covering this :) x
I don't get it. It was suppose to be living off of £1, as in 'food'. Why are people annoyed that he bought clothes which aren't even part of the challenge?
Scott He literally called the video "Spending 1£ in 24 hours" he spend more than that on any of the items he got. Even if he only challenged himself to get food for 1£, it just shows that he isn't even trying to empathize with the people that live the reality of having so little money.
He's not trying to empathize full stop. He was going off a trend that (I think) London Hacks started where people try and get a breakfast, dinner and lunch for £1. But just because Alfie does it people uproar. Being jealous of his £1.5m house and lavish lifestyle doesn't mean you have to criticise everything he does whilst someone does it before him and its ok?
I'm actually embarrassed for him. I hope to God he watched your video to see exactly what he did wrong. Because I agree with you 100% that he wasn't trying to be cruel but he came across a bit like he was bragging. That was just a bit revolting to watch.
Alfie is worse than that. I used to like him until he stole a fan's idea and financial gained from it, giving her zero credit! Basically a girl designed a beanie, chose the colours & font & tweeted it to Alfie saying she was going to make him this hat. He completely ignored her, but he did save the pic, cropped the writing & tweeted it asking fans to tell him the name of the font used. Bare in mind, he's still ignoring this girl who is a massive fan of his. He didn't ask her the font! After receiving the font name from other fans, he deleted that post of her work to hide the evidence. The hat appeared very quickly in his store & sold out the same day which he boasted about, again on twitter! Complete scumbag! He didn't aknowledge her for her idea, her work, he didn't thank her, or gave her any credit. He didn't even like her post. It's honestly disgusting. I tried to stand up for her, but she was so timid and such a big fan & after initially complaining mildly, his fans squished her, so she said it didn't matter and she is STILL a fan to this day, after he ripped her off. Who does that. Awful. Just g oogle 'alfie deyes stole fan hat idea' to see all the tweets and how it went down. And that's just one tiny thing, I could give u lot more examples of ways both zoe and alfie screwed over innocent people who r way more talented than they ever will be, for big financial gain. And I mean big. Hate 'em, frankly. Thanks for these vids, scrapping the surface so you are, though!!
He seems so out of touch that I can't imagine he even realises what he did wrong and considered it a genuine effort. I was shocked by the ice comment and from that point on it just became more and more ludicrous
The best part is he didn't even buy any food at all. So the conclusion was... you can't do it... you just die of starvation. But hey at least you will do it in style since you can save all those hundreds of pounds to keep your beard hygiene in check.
I think he just doesn't care. He's ignorant, but he can't be that stupid... He could have even hidden the fact that he bought stuff whilst making the video, to at least have a tiny bit of remaining credibility, but he wasn't even self aware enough to do that... A BEARD COMB?!
He didn't use the filtered water, ice, or coffee machine, but he used his gym, his car, and went shopping? How can he not drink coffee but drive his car?
I think it's because his aim was to spend £1 on food and drink, not necessarily his entire life. However I think it would be interesting to see how he coped if it was £1 for every aspect of his life
He also ate donuts which he was given for free because he told the cashier he was doing this challenge. If people who actually live on this income did that they’d be shooed out of the store
I'd honestly be surprised if the staff who gave him a whole box of donuts (double layered, no less) didnt get a huge ticking off or sacked. A manager is entitled to give away freebies, even then it would be rare, and he'd likely pay for it himself to avoid losing out. These shops are always in big competition with each other for profits, like it's a daily thing. So to give those expensive things away willy nilly might have gone unnoticed but alfie filmed the staff, and since twitter has been messaging the company complaining. they were clearly just staff, not a manager, so alfie very likely got them into big trouble by not blurring out their faces or at least not filming their faces. Silly man.
my English teacher slept rough for 3 months to raise money for homeless charities. He didn't have access to his bank cards or his home or anything and he filmed the whole thing on his go pro to raise awareness. Yes he got to go back to his home afterwards but he's a teacher so not exactly a millionare anyways and he raised 2 grand for the local shelter. That;s how to do this challenge right.
Sarah Bush he's a fucking rich youtube "influencer" why are you expecting him to do something actually benefiting other people. It's a fucking challenge video.
i know i'm extremely late but my auntie karen and her husband lost their business in 2015 and was in dept so had to sign on for benefits, didn't have a penny to their name and had a 14 year old daughter and they had to wait FIFTEEN weeks for their first payment and she was too ill to work. the council said they'll have to "get food off friends". alfies attitude is utterly disgusting and his ignorance blows my mind.
Molly Watkiss Really feel for your aunt and her husband. Disgusting that our government cuts benefits for the disabled and forced them to work for free in big chain supermarkets whilst cutting taxes for the richest. And then we have wankers like Alfie dates running around. Hope they’re okay now x
Anna Nanas I’m not at all defending him but I don’t think it’s fair to criticise his on clothes and accessories he already owns, like, he’s rich as fuck and has been for ages, I doubt he owns cheep shitty clothes from Asda
Just grab a filled box and use it as a weight. Apps can help you workout without equipment, second hand gym clothes or got any friends who got plenty of gym clothes can borrow. I never went to a gym, but UA-cam and apps help out.
true, but the challenge was originally to spend only £1 on food and drink remember! I totally get your point, but he knows gyms and personal trainers cost money, he went shopping and bought other items too! He knew!
Mudkipz4lifez and that too, so he clearly knows that the challenge was for food and drink only not his gym or gas or anything !!!!! thank you for the help
I remember when Emma Blackery did a similar video and she was trying to raise awareness of the poverty in the UK it was a big insight, the difference between her video and alfie's is massive
Best “living below the line” challenges was Emma Blackery’s where she bought her week’s shopping with £5. She actually considered how people live like that and didn’t make it about herself. Her goal was to raise awareness for those living in poverty using the platform she has and she delivered. She did exactly that.
A good person to watch for these sort of things is a guy known as ''London Hacks'' he is really good! Does this sort of stuff pretty much all the time.And did the homeless challenge on £0 which was really good.
He could have done it 65p donuts from tesco and 35p bottled water from Wilkinson. When my dad lost his job and my mum was a stay at home mum when I was nine we did it. I mean Alfie it was so fun that day we went without food because my parents couldn't afford it. It was fun wondering if today was the day we were going to get kicked out of our house. Thanks Alfie for your very sensitive video 👍
So good to hear u r OK and the video what Alfie uploaded was SO fucking offensive and he is a little selfish prick who needs to a actually think b4 he speaks
As a student I had about £80 a month left after rent and bills and survived living in Brighton (it wasn't comfortable but it was dooable). I know people that had even less. Brighton is expensive but it still has an Aldi. 😂 I think he just needs to grow up and get his head out of his own arse tbh.
When I was a student a would go to Tesco at night hours and buy the discounted to pennies vegetables / produce they were selling. Then ofc Lidl/Aldi for any dry ingredients etc… this guy is so out of touch
@@maggiepp7997 that's what my dad did then go to the bakery at the end of the day ask for a Pasties that fed me and him. Now I eat decent and we live better because my dad had to grind his ass of I Uni in his 40's with my Stepmum helping
@@lorddarlo6194 Yup! There is so many tricks and tips you can do to save you some pennies. I also heard that some people but discounted sandwiches and freeze them and they can have them for lunch in the future. I haven’t personally done it as I much prefer fresh food(especially bread) but it is a useful tip for anyone reading. Things like that will get you really clever with money and savvy. I am too still bargain haunting even though I’m okay with money now.
When Caitlin Shoemaker did the Living Below the Line Challenge, too, she actually reflected on how it affected her and how hard it was for her and how much harder it would be for people who do live below the line. That's how this should be done.
At first I was like okay he's a bit out of touch but maybe he's going to make a discovery and have an epiphany. Nope he just bought more random goodies for himself than some people are able to buy in a year instead. What a class act.
@@aishah5899 You are the special kind of special arent you? If you have no income at all how in the living fuck do you expect to be able to purchase a comb. People with no income have to beg. The get so little money from that and its horrible. You are completely ignorant you stuck up twat
Aisha H Alfies video is so entitled from start to finish. Don't justify it. I can't get past the ice and water nevermind what we bought on a pound a day challenge. - also a t-shirt, a video game, earrings, a beard comb could be someone's Christmas or birthday haul.
The escalation was hilariously infuriating. He went from "living on this amount" to "just spending only this amount" to "only on food and drink tho" every time he was faced with the opportunity to spend money.
This video spoke to me. I live in Brighton, unemployed, disabled, often without money for food. People don’t tend to understand. I’ve had better off people just tell me to go buy food. They don’t understand the concept of having no money at all. My partner and I have subsisted on flour and water for days before. A typical meal is pasta and tinned tomato, or some kind of vegetable soup. Homelessness is a massive issue in Brighton, and food poverty is one across the UK. He does touch on some interesting points though. Like that feeling you can’t leave your house, absolutely. Except my house isn’t a mansion it’s a flat with high rent that would probably fit in his master bedroom. Jack is absolutely correct, these people just don’t have any concept of having low income, they are oblivious to the strife of millions of others in this country alone. We live in the same city, sure, but it’s a different world.
Jared Newbery I’m American so my only insight into English life is through Alfie & Zoe. I thought that was how everyone lived. Nice houses, nicer vacations. I’m sorry to hear it isn’t. Thanks for giving me insight into how the rest of England I don’t see lives.
KimOlson1993 it’s okay I know the media can give a warped view of life in different places. It’s hard to find exact numbers but: About 5-6% are the elite, earning big money, Zoë and Alfie are in the top 1% of that elite. Somewhere between 25-30% are middle class: high personal money, good jobs, comfortable lives, etc. 15% are transitory, coming from a poorer background but with better paid jobs. ~49% fit into a very broad lower class, from service industry workers to ‘traditional’ style workers. Included in that is about 15% that fall into the poorest of the poor. So, most people have it okay, some people are on the up, some people live their lives in comfort, some are richer than all hell, and some are poorer than you’d believe.
Jared Newbery Wow! 😮 So are Zoe & Alfie like the Kim & Kanye of England??? (Idk a better comparison. Beyoncé & Jay-Z?) I really didn’t realize they were THAT rich! I’d probably fall in the “middle class.”
Not even close, Z&A have a net worth of ~£3 million, whereas B&JZ have a net worth of $1.16 billion. If Z&A are the top 1-2% then B&JZ are the top 0.1% Worth noting a difference between the US and UK. ~1.5 million people in the US are millionaires, compared to only ~800,000 in the UK. (in the US there are 540 billionaires, compared to 104 in the UK) I grew up what used to be called upper-working class, now referred to as 'transitory'. Parents grew up poor but got better-paying jobs (and a college education). But times are hard, plus me and my siblings don't have large parental pots of money to fall back on.
"Mocking the poor" is literally the reason i dont watch Alfie or zoe anymore they overly shove there money in our faces and all of what you say they're doing is so true. Ive lived on very little money growing up as my mam had to look after me and my sister on benifits and it makes my life feel like shit. Thank you for this vide as i feel like the only one who sees this. Its tough being lower class 😕
Kitakat believe me you aren't lower class if you can go on UA-cam and these things like I've been to Africa with a few mates doing helping to build schools and stuff and like these people live on the equivalent of 20 pence a day.. you are doing okay lol
Kitakat your mum is a good person for looking after 2 children on benefits. You’re a real family. Big respect to you guys,good to see you turning your back on the rich snobs that tell you how to think
Dan G but they are lower class in the uk... you can't compare circumstances to people in Africa because we all know that every single person in the uk would be considered upper class to those who live in slums. Just because people in Africa have it worse doesn't mean people don't have a right to be upset about their financial circumstances
the in a country like Thailand part makes me so mad, like dude theres so many people that are poor in both Thailand, the rest of the world, AND ENGLAND. like dude I don't have to go very far from my home in a nice American suburb before I start to see homeless people. like why is Thailand the first place you think of, not people in your own country
Growing up in a village in Kenya the back pain you get just from carrying containers of water from the river, lasts a lifetime. I don't think he realises how serious this really is.
Love how Alfie made his video wearing two cartier bracelets, an Apple watch and a branded t-shirt which probably costs more than a days wages my mum makes - scratch that probably two days wages. You hit the nail right on the head Jack, he wasn’t intentional, just pure, pure ignorant
Tanya m £50,000 is just shy of 3 years worth of wages for me and I'm in management 🙃 below me it could easily be at least 5. I'd put money on it that his outfit cost more than my weekly salary! Possibly monthly depending on the bracelets 😧 I'm like jack, well done to him for having made money for himself and the house etc do not bother me. (If I had money, I'd buy nice things too!) But, Alfie, seriously? This video of all videos to show off on? He even got given donuts free because people recognised him, told everyone to spend £40 on a therapist, said how he wants to be able to do it and bargain (aka use his fame to get more free stuff), and finished it with giving the change (7p) to a charity box and acted like he'd just saved someone's life 😠
Jen Pickering £50,000 for a bracelet?! I would have to work for 10 years and spend nothing out of my wages to earn that! I don't even have words to describe how I feel towards his video 🤷🏻
The fact that he doesn't even know what he spends on coffee tells enough of what little money means to him and how ignorant he is towards people who live in poverty
Emma blackery did this ‘challenge’ for a week but she actually did it correctly and used her fame and the challenge to highlight the problems faced by the working class and people living in poverty
He also said on Twitter that he didn’t mean to offend anyone and that everyone is making these videos. I think he doesn’t understand where he went wrong and that’s the worst part
I used to admire them, but after seeing how they are now.. it's kinda disappointing. And yeah, he doesn't even know what was wrong with the video.. it reminds me when Zoe apologized for the price of the Advent Calendar like the point it wasn't that was too expensive, it was that the things inside were a joke, things that literally you could buy at the dollar store and yet she didn't realize anything wrong.. meh :c
Alfie: “May or may not have done some shopping in town” Me: *on the verge on flipping my desk and throwing my laptop out the window* I used to love Alfie and Zoe, grew out of watching vloggers, and seeing them bragging about their riches years later is absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. I too don’t see them as malicious people with bad intentions, but they deserve the backlash so they know that they should not do something like this again.
Emilia Xi agreed even the dutch vlogger i used to watch is kinda like this nowdays driving around in his porsche like it is nothing then being pulled over by the police way too many times then getting a fine.. and he is just like oh well whatever like i don’t understand people like these.. i’ve never been rich and i am happy with all i have.. i don’t need a super expensive car i would be fine with a car that is way old as long as it has been well kept up and drives safely... i don’t need some super big house or clothes that are of some kind of brand..
Litch The Shinigami I love the way you look at things. Being grateful for what you have is the key to happiness. Bragging like these people do is arrogant and I don’t know what they are trying to achieve? Are they trying to clap back at “haters” or do they just want people to think that they are happy... because they’re rich? I don’t get it...
When vloggers first became a thing they were seen as refreshing because they were real people living real lives. I remember an article in a mag which claimed that teens were no longer interested in celebs because they would rather see real people on UA-cam. Now the vloggers are just as privileged and out of touch. If I am going to watch some overprivileged nitwit I'd rather watch a celeb as at least they are glamorous and move in interesting circles! It does astonish me that Alfie is so idiotic that it didn't occur to him that mentioning a shopping haul in a video of this kind would attract criticism.
LauraBristol Absolutely. When I was in school I found my life to be so boring and repetitive that I enjoyed watching blogs and live in their world for a while, but now... It’s not the same. It’s like every vlogger is going out of their way to brag and show of their “glamorous life” and it’s just not fun anymore.
Being someone who lived on the poverty line for over a year, living on food bank handouts, and tokens, I applaud you for Making this video, I remember being so appreciative of those who donated items to the food bank I used, and being thrilled with branded baked beans.. now in a job and having a home and being able to support myself I always donate to local food banks, some people don’t even have a pound to their name, i wish he could mention some charities or helplines in the video and not come across the way he did when holding that pound, I remember having to buy the reduced items with 5ps I was finding in cracks of my sofa and paying at the self checkouts because I felt like a failure on not only myself but my family thank you for sharing some light jack we appreciate you speaking out for those who can’t.
Really he shouldn't have gone to the gym either. He could have shown working out for free by taking a walk and doing body weight type exercises outside in the park or something. I'm only commenting on that part because I was just at the part where he kept saying he was at the gym and couldn't have his coffee or protein bar, and I'm here thinking, you shouldn't be at the gym.
worse, he wasn't even going to a gym where you have a membership - it was his o w n gym in his garage. like, he bought all the supplies in that gym and pays a personal trainer.
GwendolynnBY I bet it's privacy issue, not letting other random people in the gym looking at him anymore. Honestly one my dreams is having my own gym in the house so I can have all the privacy of working out
I used to watch Zoe and Alfie's videos all the time but stopped because they're just oblivious to real life. I'd love to see them budget for week on minimum wage to see if their attitudes changed
That part about 'These people used to be your online best friends, just the girl next door, just the guy next door.. not anymore they're multimillionaires' Not just like you anymore.... so true.
Keavy Mac Really the last video of his I watched was back when he was just getting with Zoella and now he's... like this. Really strange to see that contrast
It winds me up that he gets things for free just because he’s famous. It’s disgusting that companies, like Krispy Kreme in his video, just dish out freebies to those with a shit ton of money but won’t hand out free donuts/hot drinks to those with literally nothing living out on the streets.
At most, in America you MIGHT get a free glazed donut when there’s a promotion in place or a Krispy Kreme store opens. This is the first video of his that ive watched and he’s extremely out of touch!
Handing out stuff to homeless people won't get them the advertising it would if Alfie promoted the same stuff to his fans. It's all about profit, morality isn't a part of the equation.
A lot of companies do this. It's for promotion, no other reason. By giving free stuff to celebrities they earn more money in the long run from advertisement, they are a business after all.
I used to love Zoe and Alfie but they’ve changed so much. I miss Zoe’s old videos like her Primark hauls and vlogs with Louise. And I miss her Blog it’s wher this all started and she’s abandoned it. I miss Alfie’s challenges with Joe and that. They’ve all changed so much they used to be down to earth but now they’re snobs. I unsubscribed from them both last November and I’m so glad I did. I used to buy all Zoe’s beauty range but now I haven’t bought anything since last March. Edit: thanks for all the likes 😊
Me too. I unsubscribed from Alfie when he did a vlog moaning about people interrupting him for photos etc. What a fucking twat. Up your own arse much?! Literally all you do is film your day mate, no discernible talent whatsoever and you're fucking mad that people want a photo with you? Need to give your head a wobble mate. Entitled pre-pubescent twat.
I think I would be genuinely embarrassed to be Alfie's partner. I get he makes a good living from UA-cam, and thats amazing, but his content is so childish and young. At some stage in a day, does Zoe not think, grow up and act like a man?
Being Thai, I felt personally attacked by his comment on Thailand. Yes, it's "cheap" because a single pound sterling is about 43 baht. It's cheap because you already earn a lot in your currency and when you convert it to our currency, it's even more. I'm glad Jack is talking about this video. He had good insights as to what exactly is wrong with this video.
Oh you didn't get to the food 🙄 he went to waitrose and complained that he could only get croissants and then he went to Krispy creme with the rest of his money and was offered a whole box of doughnuts for free because he's famous AND HE AGREED 🙄🙄🙄
I'll never understand giving famous people free shit. They're usually the ones that can pay for it? Then there are one who just expect free shit cuz of who they are. Smh
I usually hate people who call others out online but I've loved your channel for well over a year now and I appreciate how humane your values are. I also appreciate that Alfie's intention was probably rather positive, possibly trying to raise awareness for poverty in the UK, but seriously he has absolutely no idea. He is too privileged to understand what it's like. A few years ago my family was at the lowest we've ever been and we were living on so little per week, and seeing him acting like it's a joke honestly angers me. So much respect to you for this video, and I hope you have a great weekend ❤️
Wander Ave I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, I don't think he's that much of a monster, he just handled it very very badly and should learn from his mistakes, which I hope he will in future
Why give him the benefit of the doubt when he is out there showing you his thoughts? Not once did he mention poverty or awareness so why are you holding on to a fantasy you projected on him? He isn’t aware and he is ignorant in this instance. When someone shows you their true colors don’t make excuses for them and add things to make them look better, instead believe them! You need to look at people’s actions and not what they might be capable of and make that your main focus. Focus on reality, and this is the reality he chose to show his viewers. Benefit of the doubt is worth given when there might have been a misunderstanding, this is not the case with Alfie he made an entire video showing exactly why it’s not worth giving him the benefit of the doubt, because had he been aware he would have showed it and he didn’t, in fact he did the exact opposite! He is showing you his ingorance and you need to accept that and not throw yourself under the bus in order to protect his hono and make him look better than he frankly is, especially since he wouldn’t do that for you. *and it doesn’t make him a ”monster” it simply shows you where his head is at, he’s clearly, as you can see in the video not intentionally mocking people struggling with poverty, it’s ignorance and clear lack of understanding. This little £1 experiment is disgusting behavior from someone in his position. A ”monster” as you call it, is someone who sets out to harm others and take pleasure in it. Alfie isn’t a mean guy, he’s just been too well off for too long, and lives in a bubble. With that said it doesn’t mean people shouldn’t bring awareness to the issues with such behavior, hopefully he will see it and have a sit down with his thoughts on this ine and how he could improve. Wouldn’t it be nice if he came around and read up after seeing the plethora of critique aimed his way due to his £1 video, and did a more aware video on poverty and hooked up his viewers with links to good non profit and sustainable charities?! Until then don’t make excuses for this lad!
Bryony The Overthinking Pigeon I’m only addressing this specific subject. Why are you talking about other things?! To see someone make a poor decision and address it is not tearing someone down as a person.
I watched his video yesterday and was a bit irked by it. But watching your video has just emphasised how fucking ridiculous it was. He should have thought about it a bit better, especially when him and Zoe were shocked about the beans and then were like oh but they weren’t Heinz that’s why. I’ve got a full time job, rent a house etc and have buy store own beans cos I’m not made out of money, definitely does feel like a huge kick in the teeth, 99% of his viewers are probably not that well off. He’s only got this money because of them and now he’s rubbing it in their faces it feels like.
You honestly felt hurt by Alfie's video because he bought some beans tasted nice and he thought they weren't going to? Really? He bought some beans. Move on.
Scott The whole damn video hurt my brain. The one day he does the 1 pound challenge, he shows of a fucking beard comb among other useless shit he just bought, and the whole time he was ignorant to the actual meaning of the challenge
Scott Where on my comment did I say I was hurt by him buying some beans? I didn’t mean a huge kick in the teeth for me personally, I meant to his viewers because without his audience, he wouldn’t be in the position he is, and he hasn’t stopped to consider their financial situations. There may be some that are really struggling with money and would feel like this was made a joke out of. I was emphasising the point that normal people often buy own brand beans, and the fact they were moaning about that proves how out of touch with reality they actually are. Take your troll ass elsewhere.
Hayden Fawcett the challenge was to eat and drink off of 1 pound in 1 day. If you watched the trended videos you would realise this or watch 20 minutes in and find out when he says it. It's not to spread awareness on people less fortunate. It is to spend 1 pound on food and drink. Your smart enough to know that a beard comb is not classed as food.
Ash you've obviously been on the internet a long time and never googled what trolling is. I am clearly not trolling. He said the beans are nice. He complemented them. He usually buys Heinz. He wasn't saying "I'm not eating those, they're not Heinz ". Just try and look at it from a non jealous point and watch the video again.
I unsubbed Zoe & Alfie a while back for being snobs. I'm glad Jack said that, it's true! A year ago I hurt my back & couldn't work, neither could I prepare my food. A lifesaver was my local petrol station next door that sold meal deal sandwiches for 3 pounds inc a drink and a snack, so I could afford it & they are high in calories so it meant I was surviving. I had 1 every day, it was a life saver. Either that or warm soup. I blame companies who pamper and indulge their every whim, like Chewton Glen Luxury treehouses, who give Zalfie free everything in return for vids. So one day they were traveling there (btw prices start at 3k *per night* you could stay in the Maldives cheaper than that!! ) with the sister, bf, his parents, all free, when they stopped off at a petrol station and realized they had skipped lunch. They were looking at those sandwiches like they were FILTH. They turned their noses up. Zoe wouldn't even look, Alfie was like no.. this is awful. Honestly it broke my heart, bcos what is he expecting from a sandwich?! In the end he got a boxed cheese treat & nothing for Zoe, at the tree houses they immediately ordered the poshest pizzas I ever saw. It was legit things like Wild Broccoli, Radicchio, Dorset Blue Vinney, Flambards Egg, Violet Artichoke, Pine Nuts. That was one! And rocket and stuff sprinkled on. That's when I realized how they live, and how they're unable to remain humble and appreciative of anything below that. Honestly, it stinks. They don't even have a talent! I can understand a singer etc getting a big ego as they're talented but these two are useless even with basic tasks. It's unbelievable how dense they are. They are also insanely wasteful, jamie oliver gave them a huge top of the range BBQ free for the mansion, they left it dirty all winter so Alfie had to ring his father to bring his tiny portable bbq, which they placed on top of the dirty one so they could eat bbq. That's just one tiny example. Btw that tree house place personalized about a billion things for them, inc chocolates, bath robes, slippers etc in the same font as their yt logos (which they don't do for all) AND even a frigging huge welcome mat for outside their mansion front door, with their name on it & told them to take it home. No joke. I understand someone like Ninja getting Red Bull to sponsor him, he is skilled. Zalfie were sponsored by The Sims and spent 20 mins trying to figure out why they couldn't go upstairs. They'd blocked the way with a pot plant. That's all they had to move. Instead they scratched their heads for ages then finally rebuild that part of the house. haha. Buffoons. Anyway social blade shows both zoe and alfie mostly red, as people flock to unsub. Finally seen the light!!
JaackMaate I completely agree with you they are both snobs I understand that they are trying not to hurt people's feeling but at the end of the day it does seem like they are trying to tsks the mick out of poor people you know
i think that Alfie is one of those ppl who think that if you don’t have a lot of money then you just haven’t worked hard enough, because he has probably worked hard to get what he has. but the issue is he has had opportunities that other people never will but he doesn’t realise that
@@melo3427 yeah he would not even be where he is without zoe, honestly I think zoe would be way further without him and he would still be living in his parents house till 22😶
I’m 2 years late with this reply, but no Alfie hasn’t worked hard for his lifestyle at all it’s all down to Zoe and even she doesn’t work hard anymore either.
@@Camilla550 yup he's literally known as Zoellas boyfriend that's his official title In life literally would not have any of this without her which is interesting cause usually its women who become mega rich marrying / dating a rich man so it is interesting to see the reverse happening
I remember a few years back when Emma Blackery did the “live below the line” challenge for five days which was so much more put together and respectful that this utter shit show. She lived off £5 for five days and explained how she fully budgeted everything and how harder she thought it was than she originally thought it was going to be. Emma carried it out in such a respectful and sincere way which showed you how appreciative she was for her lifestyle and further went on about how you can help families living below the line. I think that Alfie has completely lost touch with how the rest of the country lives and doesn’t appreciate the challenges that people have to go through on a daily basis just to put food on the table. He’s been so absorbed in this privileged lifestyle which he has made for himself that he’s become blinded to real life problems and not just “ah shite I can’t use my ice machine because I have £3 filtered water in there”. Like you said I don’t think he meant any harm but his ignorance definitely shows through this video, especially by how much he’s laughing about he can’t have a protein shake or has to use a specific tap because the other water is too costly.
I'm glad that Shane Dawson is killing it and Alfie and Zoella are starting to fall. This shows just how stuck up he is. I don't have a problem with the idea of this video. People have done it correctly without coming off as narcisstic snobs that rely so heavily on expensive things that tap water is offensive to him and is like a chore for him.
I don't know how you can be 24 and can be so blind to what you are doing is so wrong. This is what happens when young people get rich too fast. The level of ignorance in his video hurt my brain
It's also worth highlighting the fact that he only drinks bottled water. In one video (I can't remember when) his weekly Ocado delivery arrives with several multi-packs of plastic bottled water - and he says that he only drinks bottled water because he doesn't like tap water. We're fortunate enough to live in a country with some of the purest tap water on the planet, and yet while the rest of us are trying to cut down on our plastic usage (y'know, because it's killing the environment...) he openly jokes about how many bottles they get through a week! As someone with as much influence as him, he should not be promoting the frivolous use of single-use plastics. I don't think he's a bad person - he's just incredibly disconnected from the rest of the world. I cringed so much when he was talking about all the things he bought for himself on his 'living on £1 day.'
AGREED. a better option is to get a reusable, stainless steel water bottle. that's so much easier and cheaper than constantly going through small plastic water bottles! i have a decent sized water bottle from this website www.drinkfinity.com its really useful. i recommend it to literally everyone, check it out
what's wrong with bottled water? I only drink bottled water but I ain't rich, I'm a student living in a different city than the one I grew up in but still, one bottle is like 12 cents (1.5 Liters)
Alfie's also mis-informed, drinking out of plastic is bad for you. IF he had any inkling about health, he'd be drinking water kept in glass bottles. Also better for the environment as they can be recycled.
Not to mention that Brighton has one of the highest rates of homelessness in the UK, i go to uni there and you can’t leave the house without someone asking you for change, people who just £1 means the difference between eating or not for the day
Meg Corner my thoughts exactly - it's incredibly poor taste when up and down the country the homelessness crisis is soaring. (Remember when homeless people were moved on so that the royal wedding procession wouldn't see them in Windsor? God.)
bea that place where Alfie walks by complaining about his unlimited snogs, there are 2 homeless people that live underneath the scaffolding that are there every day, just disgusting
‘Thailand is cheap’ - yup there is not a single bit of privilege in Thailand. Everybody is dirt poor. There is 0 development 🙄 Please, this just shows the level of ignorance and attitudes of many privileged Westerners. Somehow there is still this air of superiority over the developing world just because of economic disparities. It’s frustrating.
honestly pissed me off. the guy is clueless, rediculous, and often really dismissive of "fans" who want to take pictures of him. he is literally not a role model for anything. why people love him is a mystery. he doesn't even have talent .all he does is film YT videos and leeched off his girlfriends fame to gain a huge following.
00101 111001 I said many. Not all. I am not lumping you all together, I speak from personal experience and the general consensus of the people in my area.
“Think of Nala” I’m actually dead 😂 okay I’ve been a supporter of Zoe and Alfie for probably close to 6 years and wow.... thank you for this. They say they don’t want to talk about money because it’s none of our business but they constantly talk about money now. Where’s the substance behind the sweatshirts and body lotions! They originally made money on their originality and now they make money because they’re pretty and have lifestyles that give people a 20 minute escape that allow them to feel for a second like they have rich friends. They aren’t our friends. They’re profiting off of our poverty now. Crazy.
Dani Rudy I mean I used to LOVE Zoe and Alfie and the whole squad so to say but now it’s just like all the originality is lost so I absolutely agree with ya
I used love Zoe and Alfie but video has really shown me how bigheaded they are, the advent calender was very bad, but making a fun challenge out of something that is really serious and people have to do this everyday is so insensitive
The support on this video has been fucking mental. Just shows that it's not "roasting somebody" mindlessly, but that there is a genuine issue here. Nice one you lot.

1st time ive ever watched your vid and have to say what a cracking job you done putting your point across, and thanks for bringing single mums etc into it, I myself have been a single mum from the start and it's always been a struggle, when you have to ether Buy food, or use the money to Heat your house!!

When he started doing a haul in the middle of this ‘spending £1’ video. I’m dead. How out of touch can you be?
Chloe I felt sorry for him a little bit until he did that. To gloat on about it in a video about spending a pound. What a dick.
If anything I’m embarrassed for him. A beard comb? Seriously???
I don't get it. It was suppose to be living off of £1, as in 'food'. Why are people annoyed that he bought clothes which aren't even part of the challenge?
Scott He literally called the video "Spending 1£ in 24 hours" he spend more than that on any of the items he got. Even if he only challenged himself to get food for 1£, it just shows that he isn't even trying to empathize with the people that live the reality of having so little money.
He's not trying to empathize full stop. He was going off a trend that (I think) London Hacks started where people try and get a breakfast, dinner and lunch for £1. But just because Alfie does it people uproar. Being jealous of his £1.5m house and lavish lifestyle doesn't mean you have to criticise everything he does whilst someone does it before him and its ok?
I'm actually embarrassed for him. I hope to God he watched your video to see exactly what he did wrong. Because I agree with you 100% that he wasn't trying to be cruel but he came across a bit like he was bragging. That was just a bit revolting to watch.
T Sommers n
Makes a Living off £1 For a Day video. Gets food for free to “accomplish” the challenge.
Alfie is worse than that. I used to like him until he stole a fan's idea and financial gained from it, giving her zero credit! Basically a girl designed a beanie, chose the colours & font & tweeted it to Alfie saying she was going to make him this hat. He completely ignored her, but he did save the pic, cropped the writing & tweeted it asking fans to tell him the name of the font used. Bare in mind, he's still ignoring this girl who is a massive fan of his. He didn't ask her the font! After receiving the font name from other fans, he deleted that post of her work to hide the evidence. The hat appeared very quickly in his store & sold out the same day which he boasted about, again on twitter! Complete scumbag! He didn't aknowledge her for her idea, her work, he didn't thank her, or gave her any credit. He didn't even like her post. It's honestly disgusting. I tried to stand up for her, but she was so timid and such a big fan & after initially complaining mildly, his fans squished her, so she said it didn't matter and she is STILL a fan to this day, after he ripped her off. Who does that. Awful. Just g oogle 'alfie deyes stole fan hat idea' to see all the tweets and how it went down. And that's just one tiny thing, I could give u lot more examples of ways both zoe and alfie screwed over innocent people who r way more talented than they ever will be, for big financial gain. And I mean big. Hate 'em, frankly. Thanks for these vids, scrapping the surface so you are, though!!
He seems so out of touch that I can't imagine he even realises what he did wrong and considered it a genuine effort. I was shocked by the ice comment and from that point on it just became more and more ludicrous
Some see the glass half full
Others see the glass half empty
Alfie just sees an empty glass of water
Hahaaaa brilliant 👌🤣
This comment is MASSIVELY underrated 😂😂😂
I commend you, well played friend 😭😂
I watch this, and the zoella calendar video, on repeat
Niamh Gunn but like same
😂
Niamh Gunn sake tho
Just came from the calendar video lol
Definitely - these two are just straight up quality.
Does he actually think that people willingly only spend £1 a day on food so that... so that they can spend hundreds on clothes and earrings...
The best part is he didn't even buy any food at all. So the conclusion was... you can't do it... you just die of starvation. But hey at least you will do it in style since you can save all those hundreds of pounds to keep your beard hygiene in check.
I think he just doesn't care. He's ignorant, but he can't be that stupid... He could have even hidden the fact that he bought stuff whilst making the video, to at least have a tiny bit of remaining credibility, but he wasn't even self aware enough to do that...
A BEARD COMB?!
And dont forget the beard combs aswell😂😂😂
Don't forget the beard comb

CryptoJack i was just about to comment i fucking fell of my bed when he said that
CryptoJack I heard it as, “Zoella didn’t sell cannabis for this”
He is sitting in his car outside the supermarket and says ”Havent spent any money yet”. Then what are you using as fuel? The tears of homeless people?
The fuel he already has? You think he’s gonna stick in £20 at a time or something lol
Hahaha tears of the homeless hat tip to you sir.
Leo Potter well yes, people do stick in £20 at a time.
Leo Potter but he is spending money as he drives
@@leopotter2581 He has a big V8 AMG Mercedes they eat through for fuel and cost about the same as an Ftype Jag or Audi R8
He didn't use the filtered water, ice, or coffee machine, but he used his gym, his car, and went shopping? How can he not drink coffee but drive his car?
I think it's because his aim was to spend £1 on food and drink, not necessarily his entire life. However I think it would be interesting to see how he coped if it was £1 for every aspect of his life
@@usernotfound1185 Probably would have broke down and started sobbing, judging from how upset he was that he couldn't have a morning coffee.
madmad24680 - cos he’s a twat.
madmad24680 i bet he drank it off camera loool
@@xiiv.emilia he definitely did😂😂😂. Hes literally gt no reason nt to. Its nt like were gonna know if he did or nt
He also ate donuts which he was given for free because he told the cashier he was doing this challenge. If people who actually live on this income did that they’d be shooed out of the store
Katie S ClickForTaz said that she wasn't allowed food from family and friends and that
I'd honestly be surprised if the staff who gave him a whole box of donuts (double layered, no less) didnt get a huge ticking off or sacked. A manager is entitled to give away freebies, even then it would be rare, and he'd likely pay for it himself to avoid losing out. These shops are always in big competition with each other for profits, like it's a daily thing. So to give those expensive things away willy nilly might have gone unnoticed but alfie filmed the staff, and since twitter has been messaging the company complaining. they were clearly just staff, not a manager, so alfie very likely got them into big trouble by not blurring out their faces or at least not filming their faces. Silly man.
Said it before I'll say it again
Look at Zoella laughing when she hands him the pound
She's just as bad
Hello i know

my English teacher slept rough for 3 months to raise money for homeless charities. He didn't have access to his bank cards or his home or anything and he filmed the whole thing on his go pro to raise awareness. Yes he got to go back to his home afterwards but he's a teacher so not exactly a millionare anyways and he raised 2 grand for the local shelter. That;s how to do this challenge right.
Sarah Bush that is amazing, your teacher is a amazing person, so proud.
Sarah Bush wow thats incredible
Does this teacher have a donation link i.e. JustGiving? Or more info about the whole thing?
Sarah Bush he's a fucking rich youtube "influencer" why are you expecting him to do something actually benefiting other people. It's a fucking challenge video.
That's a selfless act rather than a self serving act that these UA-cam idiots and so called 'celebrities' do
I wonder when Alfie will realise there some people living on £0 for days
@Sara Jones so true tho
i know i'm extremely late but my auntie karen and her husband lost their business in 2015 and was in dept so had to sign on for benefits, didn't have a penny to their name and had a 14 year old daughter and they had to wait FIFTEEN weeks for their first payment and she was too ill to work. the council said they'll have to "get food off friends". alfies attitude is utterly disgusting and his ignorance blows my mind.
Molly Watkiss i hope they’re okay now
Molly Watkiss Really feel for your aunt and her husband. Disgusting that our government cuts benefits for the disabled and forced them to work for free in big chain supermarkets whilst cutting taxes for the richest. And then we have wankers like Alfie dates running around. Hope they’re okay now x

Just grab a filled box and use it as a weight. Apps can help you workout without equipment, second hand gym clothes or got any friends who got plenty of gym clothes can borrow. I never went to a gym, but UA-cam and apps help out.
true, but the challenge was originally to spend only £1 on food and drink remember! I totally get your point, but he knows gyms and personal trainers cost money, he went shopping and bought other items too! He knew!
His car costs money for gas too
Mudkipz4lifez and that too, so he clearly knows that the challenge was for food and drink only not his gym or gas or anything !!!!! thank you for the help
I remember when Emma Blackery did a similar video and she was trying to raise awareness of the poverty in the UK it was a big insight, the difference between her video and alfie's is massive
Charlotte Whiteing I totally forgot about that, this is such a good point!!
It really is its amazing how distant people can be to the rest of humanity.
i remember that i love emma ahh
Was going to comment this, completely right!! Her video was informative and gave a proper insight into the difficulties people face everyday.
Yes I loved Emmas!! She realized how much she actually had and how hard it is to live off a small amount of money
“Quantity over how posh the food is”
He’s that out of touch he doesn’t even know the saying
*quantity over quality*

stella owens more like rich Alf
not even quality, just literally "how fancy the food sounds"
Mate it’s not even quantity half the time it’s just if you’re hungry and there isn’t anything in
I had the exact same thought 👌
Swear the saying is quality over quantity tho
Best “living below the line” challenges was Emma Blackery’s where she bought her week’s shopping with £5. She actually considered how people live like that and didn’t make it about herself. Her goal was to raise awareness for those living in poverty using the platform she has and she delivered. She did exactly that.
starry eyed the brothers green also do similar stuff! They do a higher budget sometimes but they make amazing food
London hacks also does a great job at doing this.
Agree agree agree agree.
A good person to watch for these sort of things is a guy known as ''London Hacks'' he is really good! Does this sort of stuff pretty much all the time.And did the homeless challenge on £0 which was really good.
and click for taz
He could have done it 65p donuts from tesco and 35p bottled water from Wilkinson. When my dad lost his job and my mum was a stay at home mum when I was nine we did it. I mean Alfie it was so fun that day we went without food because my parents couldn't afford it. It was fun wondering if today was the day we were going to get kicked out of our house. Thanks Alfie for your very sensitive video 👍
Funmi F Damn, sorry about that dude. I hope you’re doing better now.. The video Alfie uploaded really was such a piss take.

As a student I had about £80 a month left after rent and bills and survived living in Brighton (it wasn't comfortable but it was dooable). I know people that had even less. Brighton is expensive but it still has an Aldi. 😂 I think he just needs to grow up and get his head out of his own arse tbh.

Things like that will get you really clever with money and savvy. I am too still bargain haunting even though I’m okay with money now.
Ya see when Emma blackery did this it was legitimate and she took time to talk about the poverty issues. Alfie's just a bit of a knob.
When Caitlin Shoemaker did the Living Below the Line Challenge, too, she actually reflected on how it affected her and how hard it was for her and how much harder it would be for people who do live below the line. That's how this should be done.
I’ve seen people attempt this challenge and not make an ass of themselves too, I think. This was just ridiculous.

"Zoella didn't sell calendars for this"
The escalation was hilariously infuriating. He went from "living on this amount" to "just spending only this amount" to "only on food and drink tho" every time he was faced with the opportunity to spend money.
This video spoke to me. I live in Brighton, unemployed, disabled, often without money for food. People don’t tend to understand. I’ve had better off people just tell me to go buy food. They don’t understand the concept of having no money at all. My partner and I have subsisted on flour and water for days before. A typical meal is pasta and tinned tomato, or some kind of vegetable soup. Homelessness is a massive issue in Brighton, and food poverty is one across the UK. He does touch on some interesting points though. Like that feeling you can’t leave your house, absolutely. Except my house isn’t a mansion it’s a flat with high rent that would probably fit in his master bedroom. Jack is absolutely correct, these people just don’t have any concept of having low income, they are oblivious to the strife of millions of others in this country alone. We live in the same city, sure, but it’s a different world.
Jared Newbery hang in there friend. I hope things work out for you :)
Jared Newbery I’m American so my only insight into English life is through Alfie & Zoe. I thought that was how everyone lived. Nice houses, nicer vacations. I’m sorry to hear it isn’t. Thanks for giving me insight into how the rest of England I don’t see lives.
KimOlson1993 it’s okay I know the media can give a warped view of life in different places. It’s hard to find exact numbers but:
About 5-6% are the elite, earning big money, Zoë and Alfie are in the top 1% of that elite. Somewhere between 25-30% are middle class: high personal money, good jobs, comfortable lives, etc. 15% are transitory, coming from a poorer background but with better paid jobs. ~49% fit into a very broad lower class, from service industry workers to ‘traditional’ style workers. Included in that is about 15% that fall into the poorest of the poor.
So, most people have it okay, some people are on the up, some people live their lives in comfort, some are richer than all hell, and some are poorer than you’d believe.
Jared Newbery Wow! 😮 So are Zoe & Alfie like the Kim & Kanye of England??? (Idk a better comparison. Beyoncé & Jay-Z?) I really didn’t realize they were THAT rich!
I’d probably fall in the “middle class.”
Not even close, Z&A have a net worth of ~£3 million, whereas B&JZ have a net worth of $1.16 billion. If Z&A are the top 1-2% then B&JZ are the top 0.1%
Worth noting a difference between the US and UK. ~1.5 million people in the US are millionaires, compared to only ~800,000 in the UK. (in the US there are 540 billionaires, compared to 104 in the UK)
I grew up what used to be called upper-working class, now referred to as 'transitory'. Parents grew up poor but got better-paying jobs (and a college education). But times are hard, plus me and my siblings don't have large parental pots of money to fall back on.
"Mocking the poor" is literally the reason i dont watch Alfie or zoe anymore they overly shove there money in our faces and all of what you say they're doing is so true. Ive lived on very little money growing up as my mam had to look after me and my sister on benifits and it makes my life feel like shit. Thank you for this vide as i feel like the only one who sees this. Its tough being lower class 😕
Kitakat believe me you aren't lower class if you can go on UA-cam and these things like I've been to Africa with a few mates doing helping to build schools and stuff and like these people live on the equivalent of 20 pence a day.. you are doing okay lol
being disadvantaged isnt a competition my guy. being lower class in any situation is tough
Toulaye Ba wow that's so deep but true. You are blessed for everything. Life is a gift and you should be grateful.
Kitakat your mum is a good person for looking after 2 children on benefits. You’re a real family. Big respect to you guys,good to see you turning your back on the rich snobs that tell you how to think
Dan G but they are lower class in the uk... you can't compare circumstances to people in Africa because we all know that every single person in the uk would be considered upper class to those who live in slums. Just because people in Africa have it worse doesn't mean people don't have a right to be upset about their financial circumstances
the in a country like Thailand part makes me so mad, like dude theres so many people that are poor in both Thailand, the rest of the world, AND ENGLAND. like dude I don't have to go very far from my home in a nice American suburb before I start to see homeless people. like why is Thailand the first place you think of, not people in your own country

I'm like jack, well done to him for having made money for himself and the house etc do not bother me. (If I had money, I'd buy nice things too!) But, Alfie, seriously? This video of all videos to show off on?
He even got given donuts free because people recognised him, told everyone to spend £40 on a therapist, said how he wants to be able to do it and bargain (aka use his fame to get more free stuff), and finished it with giving the change (7p) to a charity box and acted like he'd just saved someone's life 😠
Jen Pickering £50,000 for a bracelet?! I would have to work for 10 years and spend nothing out of my wages to earn that! I don't even have words to describe how I feel towards his video 🤷🏻
She clearly only meant the t-shirt for 2 days wage, not all of it LOL smh
The fact that he doesn't even know what he spends on coffee tells enough of what little money means to him and how ignorant he is towards people who live in poverty
"zoella didn’t sell calendars for this shit" LMAO
MissJellyPickle I’m screaming at that
That line made me like the video
Emma blackery did this ‘challenge’ for a week but she actually did it correctly and used her fame and the challenge to highlight the problems faced by the working class and people living in poverty
Imogen Quick I assumed that was his angle...but oh gosh he got it wrong!
Yes! Emma did this years ago and it was so interesting and insightful, that was a challenge done right.
Emma NAILED it...Alfie should’ve taken notes
Imogen Quick her fame? She isn’t famous lol
LMFAO she’s famous within the UA-cam community
"wot kinda food do poor people eat lol" I DIED

Ana Maria we must pray for him 🙏🙏 bless his rich- uh i mean poor heart 🙏🙏
you're the perfect blend of funny and sarcastic but still serious about issues that matter, I LOVE IT.
wizardmongeau ikr. He's seriously the God of rants for all of those reasons...
Four years later and this video is still hilarious. We need more people like Jack to call these youtubers out on their crap
He also said on Twitter that he didn’t mean to offend anyone and that everyone is making these videos. I think he doesn’t understand where he went wrong and that’s the worst part
girl l nope it’s the whole sorry you got offended. He’s so high up his own arse it’s too dark to see anything
I used to admire them, but after seeing how they are now.. it's kinda disappointing. And yeah, he doesn't even know what was wrong with the video.. it reminds me when Zoe apologized for the price of the Advent Calendar like the point it wasn't that was too expensive, it was that the things inside were a joke, things that literally you could buy at the dollar store and yet she didn't realize anything wrong.. meh :c
Alfie: “May or may not have done some shopping in town”
Me: *on the verge on flipping my desk and throwing my laptop out the window*
I used to love Alfie and Zoe, grew out of watching vloggers, and seeing them bragging about their riches years later is absolutely disgusting and disrespectful.
I too don’t see them as malicious people with bad intentions, but they deserve the backlash so they know that they should not do something like this again.
Emilia Xi agreed even the dutch vlogger i used to watch is kinda like this nowdays driving around in his porsche like it is nothing then being pulled over by the police way too many times then getting a fine.. and he is just like oh well whatever like i don’t understand people like these.. i’ve never been rich and i am happy with all i have.. i don’t need a super expensive car i would be fine with a car that is way old as long as it has been well kept up and drives safely... i don’t need some super big house or clothes that are of some kind of brand..
Litch The Shinigami I love the way you look at things. Being grateful for what you have is the key to happiness. Bragging like these people do is arrogant and I don’t know what they are trying to achieve? Are they trying to clap back at “haters” or do they just want people to think that they are happy... because they’re rich? I don’t get it...
When vloggers first became a thing they were seen as refreshing because they were real people living real lives. I remember an article in a mag which claimed that teens were no longer interested in celebs because they would rather see real people on UA-cam. Now the vloggers are just as privileged and out of touch. If I am going to watch some overprivileged nitwit I'd rather watch a celeb as at least they are glamorous and move in interesting circles! It does astonish me that Alfie is so idiotic that it didn't occur to him that mentioning a shopping haul in a video of this kind would attract criticism.
LauraBristol Absolutely. When I was in school I found my life to be so boring and repetitive that I enjoyed watching blogs and live in their world for a while, but now... It’s not the same. It’s like every vlogger is going out of their way to brag and show of their “glamorous life” and it’s just not fun anymore.
Yeah I feel like they've just completely lost touch with who their audience is. Especially because they made so much money so young.
I could imagine Alfie turning around to a homeless person and saying “why are you homeless, just go home!”
@@loodoesmusic it was a joke😭

Being someone who lived on the poverty line for over a year, living on food bank handouts, and tokens, I applaud you for Making this video, I remember being so appreciative of those who donated items to the food bank I used, and being thrilled with branded baked beans.. now in a job and having a home and being able to support myself I always donate to local food banks, some people don’t even have a pound to their name, i wish he could mention some charities or helplines in the video and not come across the way he did when holding that pound, I remember having to buy the reduced items with 5ps I was finding in cracks of my sofa and paying at the self checkouts because I felt like a failure on not only myself but my family thank you for sharing some light jack we appreciate you speaking out for those who can’t.
I have 3 children and ace to buy the bread when it drops to 4p a Tesco at 7 and sometimes don’t eat to let my children eat it’s real life

But you have a device to comment this ? 😂
Good luck 💗 Sending lots of prayers
Jude Paskell How do you know what they’re using to comment? Plus phones are a pretty essential part of modern life.
heringe Oh fuck off.
I forgot that Alfie Deyes was a thing lmao
Aquaman so did everyone else ...
yeah check out his social blade stats, lmao
omg your so right
we all did
he lives off zoella lol
Really he shouldn't have gone to the gym either. He could have shown working out for free by taking a walk and doing body weight type exercises outside in the park or something. I'm only commenting on that part because I was just at the part where he kept saying he was at the gym and couldn't have his coffee or protein bar, and I'm here thinking, you shouldn't be at the gym.
Or with a personal trainer, for that matter.
worse, he wasn't even going to a gym where you have a membership - it was his o w n gym in his garage. like, he bought all the supplies in that gym and pays a personal trainer.
GwendolynnBY I bet it's privacy issue, not letting other random people in the gym looking at him anymore.
Honestly one my dreams is having my own gym in the house so I can have all the privacy of working out
Yeah he could walk his dog. Isn't that what most people do with their dogs. I'm sure he pays someone to do it for him
I used to watch Zoe and Alfie's videos all the time but stopped because they're just oblivious to real life. I'd love to see them budget for week on minimum wage to see if their attitudes changed
man said "wash your hands I'm quarantining you." Way before the Corona hit. New conspiracy theory. JaackMaate always knew
Harvet Williams it’s not like quarantine was a new word it was used before corona
😂
Wait, I’m genuinely confused why he could work with his trainer but he couldn’t have ice...?
Lindsay Heath I think it might be because he was only counting food & water towards his 1 pound
That part about 'These people used to be your online best friends, just the girl next door, just the guy next door.. not anymore they're multimillionaires' Not just like you anymore.... so true.
Keavy Mac Really the last video of his I watched was back when he was just getting with Zoella and now he's... like this. Really strange to see that contrast
That part really got me it’s so true 💯💯💯
It winds me up that he gets things for free just because he’s famous. It’s disgusting that companies, like Krispy Kreme in his video, just dish out freebies to those with a shit ton of money but won’t hand out free donuts/hot drinks to those with literally nothing living out on the streets.
At most, in America you MIGHT get a free glazed donut when there’s a promotion in place or a Krispy Kreme store opens. This is the first video of his that ive watched and he’s extremely out of touch!
JessicaAmy145 tbh ur just jealous u would turn the food down would u
Handing out stuff to homeless people won't get them the advertising it would if Alfie promoted the same stuff to his fans. It's all about profit, morality isn't a part of the equation.
Big Fella jealous? how old are you?
A lot of companies do this. It's for promotion, no other reason. By giving free stuff to celebrities they earn more money in the long run from advertisement, they are a business after all.
‘The cows don’t eat grass they graze on couscous’ that finished me 😭😭
Me too 😂😂
I used to love Zoe and Alfie but they’ve changed so much. I miss Zoe’s old videos like her Primark hauls and vlogs with Louise. And I miss her Blog it’s wher this all started and she’s abandoned it. I miss Alfie’s challenges with Joe and that. They’ve all changed so much they used to be down to earth but now they’re snobs. I unsubscribed from them both last November and I’m so glad I did. I used to buy all Zoe’s beauty range but now I haven’t bought anything since last March.
Edit: thanks for all the likes 😊
Me too. I unsubscribed from Alfie when he did a vlog moaning about people interrupting him for photos etc. What a fucking twat. Up your own arse much?! Literally all you do is film your day mate, no discernible talent whatsoever and you're fucking mad that people want a photo with you? Need to give your head a wobble mate. Entitled pre-pubescent twat.
me too i used to watch their vlogs and all...now its just meh
Imogen Mccann Yah. I miss old Zoe too. I don’t remember the last time I watched one of her videos.
I think they're both stuck up, but Zoe did a Primark haul last month😆
Same, I used to watch their vlogs so much back then and I felt they were gradually changing.. but hey people change so .. 🤷♀️
Wow... The amount of ignorance is profound. How sad...
OlisASMR Alexa play Despacito.
It's hit his channel like a ton of bricks! Check out his vlog channel on social blade. Deserves it though, the way he treats people esp his 'fans'.
Ocean Waves Maybe because I am everywhere... 😏 Hahahaa thank you, my dear. Love you too 🤗💖
OlisASMR jack is so true
StevePeeve shut up
I think I would be genuinely embarrassed to be Alfie's partner. I get he makes a good living from UA-cam, and thats amazing, but his content is so childish and young. At some stage in a day, does Zoe not think, grow up and act like a man?
Victoria Jane poor thing turned into his mum she’s 28 life gonna be long
He literally caters his whole vlog channel to Zoe's young fan base, cause thats how he gets those views
Well Zoe’s pushing 30 and still acting 20 so she’s probably fine with the arrangement as it stands. I know what you mean though. It’s embarrassing!
she speaks like a kid
Katie S
She acts like she's just turned 20. It's unbelievable how childish she acts compared to her actual age.
Rewatching this 4 years later, and its still hilarious
Really happy we still have some youtubers that are as honest and real as Jack
Being Thai, I felt personally attacked by his comment on Thailand. Yes, it's "cheap" because a single pound sterling is about 43 baht. It's cheap because you already earn a lot in your currency and when you convert it to our currency, it's even more. I'm glad Jack is talking about this video. He had good insights as to what exactly is wrong with this video.
misty2090 god I'm actually really sorry. It's not right that he is saying that about you
Emmarellda1 Thank you for your kind words.
yeah it's only cheap if you come from richer countries with stronger currencies, obviously not for the people living there lol
I live in Prague (which Alfie mentioned) and I agree so much! Thank you.
misty2090 I totally agree, I'm half thai. What he said is so ignorant and rude x
Oh you didn't get to the food 🙄 he went to waitrose and complained that he could only get croissants and then he went to Krispy creme with the rest of his money and was offered a whole box of doughnuts for free because he's famous AND HE AGREED 🙄🙄🙄
xxitz_Jessie_xx he’s not really famous, he’s irrelevant and everybody forgot about him like I did lmao 😂
Axsha Xx well, he is. If you saw him you’d recognise him, it’s just that no one cares about him anymore
Can you actually get anything from Waitrose for under a £1 😂
I'll never understand giving famous people free shit. They're usually the ones that can pay for it? Then there are one who just expect free shit cuz of who they are. Smh
"wash your hands! I'm quarantining you!" me watching in 2020: 👁👄👁
if Alfie is complaining about water without ice, I'd like to see how he'd fare in Flint, Michigan.
Omg a total drama fan
@@resilienceofagypsy3998 To be fair, he does live on a completely different continent.

I usually hate people who call others out online but I've loved your channel for well over a year now and I appreciate how humane your values are. I also appreciate that Alfie's intention was probably rather positive, possibly trying to raise awareness for poverty in the UK, but seriously he has absolutely no idea. He is too privileged to understand what it's like. A few years ago my family was at the lowest we've ever been and we were living on so little per week, and seeing him acting like it's a joke honestly angers me.
So much respect to you for this video, and I hope you have a great weekend ❤️
Bryony The Overthinking Pigeon you might be Overthinking the poverty awareness thing, clearly the block does not give a fuck
Wander Ave I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt, I don't think he's that much of a monster, he just handled it very very badly and should learn from his mistakes, which I hope he will in future
Why give him the benefit of the doubt when he is out there showing you his thoughts? Not once did he mention poverty or awareness so why are you holding on to a fantasy you projected on him? He isn’t aware and he is ignorant in this instance. When someone shows you their true colors don’t make excuses for them and add things to make them look better, instead believe them! You need to look at people’s actions and not what they might be capable of and make that your main focus. Focus on reality, and this is the reality he chose to show his viewers. Benefit of the doubt is worth given when there might have been a misunderstanding, this is not the case with Alfie he made an entire video showing exactly why it’s not worth giving him the benefit of the doubt, because had he been aware he would have showed it and he didn’t, in fact he did the exact opposite! He is showing you his ingorance and you need to accept that and not throw yourself under the bus in order to protect his hono and make him look better than he frankly is, especially since he wouldn’t do that for you. *and it doesn’t make him a ”monster” it simply shows you where his head is at, he’s clearly, as you can see in the video not intentionally mocking people struggling with poverty, it’s ignorance and clear lack of understanding. This little £1 experiment is disgusting behavior from someone in his position. A ”monster” as you call it, is someone who sets out to harm others and take pleasure in it. Alfie isn’t a mean guy, he’s just been too well off for too long, and lives in a bubble. With that said it doesn’t mean people shouldn’t bring awareness to the issues with such behavior, hopefully he will see it and have a sit down with his thoughts on this ine and how he could improve. Wouldn’t it be nice if he came around and read up after seeing the plethora of critique aimed his way due to his £1 video, and did a more aware video on poverty and hooked up his viewers with links to good non profit and sustainable charities?! Until then don’t make excuses for this lad!
soilgrasswaterair I just don't want to see bad in people, as much as you do
Bryony The Overthinking Pigeon I’m only addressing this specific subject. Why are you talking about other things?! To see someone make a poor decision and address it is not tearing someone down as a person.
I watched his video yesterday and was a bit irked by it. But watching your video has just emphasised how fucking ridiculous it was. He should have thought about it a bit better, especially when him and Zoe were shocked about the beans and then were like oh but they weren’t Heinz that’s why. I’ve got a full time job, rent a house etc and have buy store own beans cos I’m not made out of money, definitely does feel like a huge kick in the teeth, 99% of his viewers are probably not that well off. He’s only got this money because of them and now he’s rubbing it in their faces it feels like.
You honestly felt hurt by Alfie's video because he bought some beans tasted nice and he thought they weren't going to? Really? He bought some beans. Move on.
Scott The whole damn video hurt my brain.
The one day he does the 1 pound challenge, he shows of a fucking beard comb among other useless shit he just bought, and the whole time he was ignorant to the actual meaning of the challenge
Scott Where on my comment did I say I was hurt by him buying some beans? I didn’t mean a huge kick in the teeth for me personally, I meant to his viewers because without his audience, he wouldn’t be in the position he is, and he hasn’t stopped to consider their financial situations. There may be some that are really struggling with money and would feel like this was made a joke out of. I was emphasising the point that normal people often buy own brand beans, and the fact they were moaning about that proves how out of touch with reality they actually are. Take your troll ass elsewhere.
Hayden Fawcett the challenge was to eat and drink off of 1 pound in 1 day. If you watched the trended videos you would realise this or watch 20 minutes in and find out when he says it. It's not to spread awareness on people less fortunate. It is to spend 1 pound on food and drink. Your smart enough to know that a beard comb is not classed as food.
Ash you've obviously been on the internet a long time and never googled what trolling is. I am clearly not trolling. He said the beans are nice. He complemented them. He usually buys Heinz. He wasn't saying "I'm not eating those, they're not Heinz ". Just try and look at it from a non jealous point and watch the video again.
I lost it at the cows grazing on cous cous 😂🤣👏👏👏

‘ZOELLA DIDNT SELL CALENDARS FOR THIS’
I unsubbed Zoe & Alfie a while back for being snobs. I'm glad Jack said that, it's true! A year ago I hurt my back & couldn't work, neither could I prepare my food. A lifesaver was my local petrol station next door that sold meal deal sandwiches for 3 pounds inc a drink and a snack, so I could afford it & they are high in calories so it meant I was surviving. I had 1 every day, it was a life saver. Either that or warm soup. I blame companies who pamper and indulge their every whim, like Chewton Glen Luxury treehouses, who give Zalfie free everything in return for vids. So one day they were traveling there (btw prices start at 3k *per night* you could stay in the Maldives cheaper than that!! ) with the sister, bf, his parents, all free, when they stopped off at a petrol station and realized they had skipped lunch. They were looking at those sandwiches like they were FILTH. They turned their noses up. Zoe wouldn't even look, Alfie was like no.. this is awful. Honestly it broke my heart, bcos what is he expecting from a sandwich?! In the end he got a boxed cheese treat & nothing for Zoe, at the tree houses they immediately ordered the poshest pizzas I ever saw. It was legit things like Wild Broccoli, Radicchio, Dorset Blue Vinney, Flambards Egg, Violet Artichoke, Pine Nuts. That was one! And rocket and stuff sprinkled on. That's when I realized how they live, and how they're unable to remain humble and appreciative of anything below that. Honestly, it stinks. They don't even have a talent! I can understand a singer etc getting a big ego as they're talented but these two are useless even with basic tasks. It's unbelievable how dense they are. They are also insanely wasteful, jamie oliver gave them a huge top of the range BBQ free for the mansion, they left it dirty all winter so Alfie had to ring his father to bring his tiny portable bbq, which they placed on top of the dirty one so they could eat bbq. That's just one tiny example. Btw that tree house place personalized about a billion things for them, inc chocolates, bath robes, slippers etc in the same font as their yt logos (which they don't do for all) AND even a frigging huge welcome mat for outside their mansion front door, with their name on it & told them to take it home. No joke. I understand someone like Ninja getting Red Bull to sponsor him, he is skilled. Zalfie were sponsored by The Sims and spent 20 mins trying to figure out why they couldn't go upstairs. They'd blocked the way with a pot plant. That's all they had to move. Instead they scratched their heads for ages then finally rebuild that part of the house. haha. Buffoons. Anyway social blade shows both zoe and alfie mostly red, as people flock to unsub. Finally seen the light!!

JaackMaate You’re so genuine I love you. Hope the rent gets paid mate
i think that Alfie is one of those ppl who think that if you don’t have a lot of money then you just haven’t worked hard enough, because he has probably worked hard to get what he has. but the issue is he has had opportunities that other people never will but he doesn’t realise that
@@melo3427 yeah he would not even be where he is without zoe, honestly I think zoe would be way further without him and he would still be living in his parents house till 22😶
I’m 2 years late with this reply, but no Alfie hasn’t worked hard for his lifestyle at all it’s all down to Zoe and even she doesn’t work hard anymore either.
@@Camilla550 yup he's literally known as
Zoellas boyfriend that's his official title In life literally would not have any of this without her which is interesting cause usually its women who become mega rich marrying / dating a rich man so it is interesting to see the reverse happening
I remember a few years back when Emma Blackery did the “live below the line” challenge for five days which was so much more put together and respectful that this utter shit show. She lived off £5 for five days and explained how she fully budgeted everything and how harder she thought it was than she originally thought it was going to be. Emma carried it out in such a respectful and sincere way which showed you how appreciative she was for her lifestyle and further went on about how you can help families living below the line. I think that Alfie has completely lost touch with how the rest of the country lives and doesn’t appreciate the challenges that people have to go through on a daily basis just to put food on the table. He’s been so absorbed in this privileged lifestyle which he has made for himself that he’s become blinded to real life problems and not just “ah shite I can’t use my ice machine because I have £3 filtered water in there”. Like you said I don’t think he meant any harm but his ignorance definitely shows through this video, especially by how much he’s laughing about he can’t have a protein shake or has to use a specific tap because the other water is too costly.
I'm glad that Shane Dawson is killing it and Alfie and Zoella are starting to fall.
This shows just how stuck up he is. I don't have a problem with the idea of this video. People have done it correctly without coming off as narcisstic snobs that rely so heavily on expensive things that tap water is offensive to him and is like a chore for him.
Horseman Secretariat he gives Londoners the bad name that they have
I don't know how you can be 24 and can be so blind to what you are doing is so wrong.
This is what happens when young people get rich too fast.
The level of ignorance in his video hurt my brain
Can u guys fill me in on how him and zoella are falling? I used to lile zoella but cant stand her anymore. Lol.
thatswhatsup0493 less views, less platform, and slowly annoying their fanbase until it's nearly none existent.
Horseman Secretariat Shane Dawson isn't really "killing it." He doesn't make anything worthwhile. Just bullshit theories, and drag demon.
I practically gagged at how much of a snob Alfie Deyes is
“Think of Nala”😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
‘Its not fair! Zoella didn’t sell advent calendars for this godammit.” I can’t-
It's also worth highlighting the fact that he only drinks bottled water.
In one video (I can't remember when) his weekly Ocado delivery arrives with several multi-packs of plastic bottled water - and he says that he only drinks bottled water because he doesn't like tap water. We're fortunate enough to live in a country with some of the purest tap water on the planet, and yet while the rest of us are trying to cut down on our plastic usage (y'know, because it's killing the environment...) he openly jokes about how many bottles they get through a week!
As someone with as much influence as him, he should not be promoting the frivolous use of single-use plastics. I don't think he's a bad person - he's just incredibly disconnected from the rest of the world. I cringed so much when he was talking about all the things he bought for himself on his 'living on £1 day.'
AGREED. a better option is to get a reusable, stainless steel water bottle. that's so much easier and cheaper than constantly going through small plastic water bottles! i have a decent sized water bottle from this website www.drinkfinity.com its really useful. i recommend it to literally everyone, check it out
James B people that only drink bottled water seriously need a reality check....
I’ve never really understood the fussiness some people have over tap water... it doesn’t taste of anything 🤷🏼♀️
what's wrong with bottled water? I only drink bottled water but I ain't rich, I'm a student living in a different city than the one I grew up in but still, one bottle is like 12 cents (1.5 Liters)
Alfie's also mis-informed, drinking out of plastic is bad for you. IF he had any inkling about health, he'd be drinking water kept in glass bottles. Also better for the environment as they can be recycled.
Not to mention that Brighton has one of the highest rates of homelessness in the UK, i go to uni there and you can’t leave the house without someone asking you for change, people who just £1 means the difference between eating or not for the day
Meg Corner my thoughts exactly - it's incredibly poor taste when up and down the country the homelessness crisis is soaring. (Remember when homeless people were moved on so that the royal wedding procession wouldn't see them in Windsor? God.)
bea that place where Alfie walks by complaining about his unlimited snogs, there are 2 homeless people that live underneath the scaffolding that are there every day, just disgusting
7:41 “put that down, wash your hands I’m quarantining you” has never rang so true 😱
‘Thailand is cheap’ - yup there is not a single bit of privilege in Thailand. Everybody is dirt poor. There is 0 development 🙄 Please, this just shows the level of ignorance and attitudes of many privileged Westerners. Somehow there is still this air of superiority over the developing world just because of economic disparities. It’s frustrating.
honestly pissed me off. the guy is clueless, rediculous, and often really dismissive of "fans" who want to take pictures of him. he is literally not a role model for anything. why people love him is a mystery. he doesn't even have talent .all he does is film YT videos and leeched off his girlfriends fame to gain a huge following.
“I’ve never been to Thailand”
Cmon a family on food stamps could do well off in Thailand... dont group us all as "privileged "
00101 111001 I said many. Not all. I am not lumping you all together, I speak from personal experience and the general consensus of the people in my area.
Cannowli The cost of living isn't cheap for Thai people though, making Alfie's 'point' invalid.
“Think of Nala” I’m actually dead 😂 okay I’ve been a supporter of Zoe and Alfie for probably close to 6 years and wow.... thank you for this. They say they don’t want to talk about money because it’s none of our business but they constantly talk about money now. Where’s the substance behind the sweatshirts and body lotions! They originally made money on their originality and now they make money because they’re pretty and have lifestyles that give people a 20 minute escape that allow them to feel for a second like they have rich friends. They aren’t our friends. They’re profiting off of our poverty now. Crazy.
Dani Rudy I mean I used to LOVE Zoe and Alfie and the whole squad so to say but now it’s just like all the originality is lost so I absolutely agree with ya
I used love Zoe and Alfie but video has really shown me how bigheaded they are, the advent calender was very bad, but making a fun challenge out of something that is really serious and people have to do this everyday is so insensitive
@Forgotten Wolf Couldn't have put it better myself, all my opinions on Zoe and Alfie are in this comment
Don’t you mean they profit from their viewers naivety rather than poverty?
People who live on that everyday don’t just decide to put £1 aside for food and spend loads on other things like beard combs 🙄🙄
I feel it’s an essential annual tradition to watch this and the Zoella calendar video.
how do little girls like alfie when he literally looks like a peter pettigrew
AscendedPyroFlame IKR LOOK AT HIS GUMS
It's the accent
I can't tell who's that more offensive to Peter or Alfie
OH MY FUCKING GOD THANK YOU! I've been wondering for years who he reminds me of. I always thought he had rat features but I never made the connection
Just wait a few years
