Posh Nosh- Ep 1

[johnphilipglynn]

Hahaha!!

[masteraj57]

i have a question. if british people call fries chips, then what do they call chips?

(hopefully someone understands and doesn't call me stupid)

[Foeke]

@masteraj57 Crisps ;)

[masteraj57]

@Foeke ah ok. thanks :)

[positivity591]

@masteraj57 We call "fries" chips and "chips" crisps. :)

[MrOdsplut]

this is genuinely one of the best things I've ever seen

[makerofjam]

"If you haven't got an AGA..."

(pause)

(Snort of contempt)

[hilltopper3339]

"Darling can you give me a life?"

Lol.

[janeeyre1990]

The American Food Network show The Barefoot Contessa reminds me of a real-life Posh Nosh: the obscenely snobby hostess spends more time eating with her gay friends than with her own husband and in one episode she made a meal for some builders in which she created a centerpiece using a metal pail as a "vase" and paintbrushes as "flowers".

[SuperKnowledgeSponge]

What did she say at 2:17?

"A freesom, they like that"

[Enid35]

@SuperKnowledgeSponge "Disappoint the veg ... give them a frisson, they like that." (frisson - a little thrill or shudder - I had to look it up!)

[SuperKnowledgeSponge]

@Enid35 Thank you for being so nice! :D

[sue42r]

loved this first time round, got a terrible memory and couldnt remember the name of the show or the actors, watching a repeat of QI tonight with Richard E Grant and it suddenly came flooding back, thanks for sharing

[yerk3]

Hannibal Lecter enjoys a good filleted surgeon, har har har.

[ProjectFlashlight612]

This is clever comedy. No outright laughs, but a LOT of dry wit.

[scunnyboybenji]

The language used is superbly funny. Things like "As you can see they have already been embarassed". It draws a real picture of the characters.

[holywoodize]

"luv it Rodney" but as for the Yanks,they'"re on another wave length.Don't think they're gonna get any of it!!

[ivmeer1976]

OMG, American foodie loving this. Now I want to watch all the episodes.

BTW, what does naff mean? I would love to understand the caviar joke.

[smillsy71]

@ivmeer1976 Uncool, declasse, definitely not posh. You get the drift. 

[ivmeer1976]

@smillsy71 Thanks!

[talory]

HA that's Joanna Lumley doing the voiceover... brilliant.

[talory]

At 7:01 she says "filleted SURgeon"... eek!

[Chiffa321]

Americans are never going to see the humour in this take off of all those pathetic cooking programmes. That's why we just love it, accents and all.

[Irrelevant402]

@Chiffa321 I do :( I love this show.

[hyperion30000]

@Chiffa321 How patronizing. Why do Brits continually underestimate what we Americans understand, as if they have the first clue as to who we are? Pure knee-jerk euro anti-Americanism, based on not one shred of truth.

PS I find these episodes hilarious and fully realize what they are sending up, among other things the god-awful pretentious arrogance of Nigella Lawson et al.

[fynanjen]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Posh Nosh!

[SuperSoupysoup]

Hilarious. You can't even read the credits xD

[Thegoldstarman]

better than come dine with me annoying narrator wont shut the hell up

[vivachobe666]

embarass

[Karl0010]

"There's a famous sayning: Like Schoolboys, Rieslings are best enjoyed young". Obviously coined by Catholic priests.

[2TMTV]

"Pay the bill"

LOL.

[adorebnl]

[scatmaster125]

@Acrimonius1408 yes it is

[shredderjeff75]

[bluesky173]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Richard E. Grant. When he spat out the olive oil, I did a spit take right along with him...

[chumshot1]

@bluesky173 LOLZ ditto, he's so random

[thomasmoredamian]

Oh. My, God.

[tonyle72]

"There's a famous saying: Like schoolboys, Rieslings are best enjoyed young."

[SPLOD41]

Snobbery at its best :oD

[6666loki6666]

always satisfying to embarrass and annoy your food properly to bring out its flavour.

[humansforbreakfast]

anyone else think simon is like super cute old man lol.

[utubeaccount00]

'would you eat this?'

'no! i'd rather starve!'

*eats fries*

[CrazyAssFace]

classic.

[MsGayblade]

ah the english thourally civilised,unlike the yanks (well most of them)

[AmazingGusto]

Passive aggression is the best aggression.

[berliozophile]

"I love the way Angus uses space."

Oh I wish Posh Nosh caught on...sad sad me.

[cyanidebreathmintz]

I wish it caught on too!..its brilliiant!!

[TwoGiantLeftFeet]

i love to disappoint the veg

[myNYggas]

I rembr these ha.

[fibrosucks]

Love the show from the first minute I saw it, but we don't get it anymore. Is it still on?

[ATsarIsBorn]

What we Americans mostly don't get is that her accent is very lower-middle-class -- all her snobbiness is aspiration from someone who married into it -- which Brits find hysterically funny. (We find it funny for other reasons.)

[BOOSHBOYDOM]

yeah americans seem to find just "british" accents funny. i think im right in saying its because of ignorance

[ATsarIsBorn]

Not at all; it's because we find them inexplicably affected. Not me, though -- I was raised properly, which is to day on D'Oyly Carte recordings. So affected British accents seem perfectly realistic to me. (But one never does hear them in England, off-stage.)

[ATsarIsBorn]

Caviar. Don't touch the stuff. It's loads-of-money red-braces naff.

[BOOSHBOYDOM]

i love htis show but can anyone tell me why he says thats an absolute brittany?

[sned10000]

so glad iv found it!! years ago i stumbled across this on tv. never rememberd what it was called, so funny!!!

[kevinamuir]

Love this show. lol

[millardforever]

I agree with Squeaky1423 -- this show is howlingly funny, and nothing like what they play on TV here in the states! The first episode I saw was #8 (about the "comfort food," haha) and I literally burst into laughter the moment Richard E. Grant started talking.

[UnoSemper]

Disappoint the veg...lol.. He was testing the oil like fine wine..lol

[tedzodd]

then give them a threesome. They like that.

[Squeaky1423]

Oh good Lord this is such a discovery, why can't American TV be funny like this???? I want architect's fish and chips, LOL

[MrRobertSama]

I want the good old fashioned ones. :D

[AcidCakes]

"What mummy would've called a vile little hussy"...haha!

[bbeyez]

I must go home and embrass my veggies, and then scare them!

[AkiraChan24]

be sure they are "completely nice" as well :)

[innovationSRI]

Love Richard E. Grant in anything! This was hilarious...

[BOOSHBOYDOM]

it made me laugh so hard whn he jst spat the oil all over the table XD. the look on her face is fantastic.

[BOOSHBOYDOM]

mre episodes! theres nt enough! there the perfect couple i think :D

[chrisamillion]

hi...i accidentally rated the video as "poor"...my bad...it's great!

damn my poor mouse skills!

[drjamyma]

is this the guy from hudson hawk?

[marcellabella84]

Good god I love this damn show! Its quick wit and intelligent humor. Nice to watch smart television. Hilarious!

[whatsacone]

LOLLOPS!!

Olive oil tasting ftw

[yonimiller]

This isn't very funny

[BOOSHBOYDOM]

u r unintelligent

[guruatomik]

If you say so. Go look at some lolcats or read Family Circus or something.

[fleamarket3000]

if its not funny why did you watch it? loser

[CrunchyLice]

i find it soooooooooooooo FUNNY

[lkmrn325]

Personally, I think the acting is perfect for what it is and that "punchlines" don't accurately describe this sort of humor. It's much more subtle and character driven than anything. Subtlety is something I admire in humor.

Just out of curiosity, what do you find funny?

[yonimiller]

They are TRYING very hard to be subtle, but it comes out more like a stale pancake, the script and it's delievery. Seinfeld is subtle.

[lkmrn325]

Hmm...I dont think they're necessarily TRYING to be subtle, I would say they're trying to be convincing. After all, this is a parody. When I first saw this, I didnt really realize it was fake until I heard some of the more twisted bits of dialogue. The running jokes lose steam fairly quickly I'll admit, but every once in a while I hear something that just plain cracks me up. Seinfeld is great, of course, but it's a completely different genre of humor. I guess this type just doesn't work for you.

[lkmrn325]

Remaining character count: 0

Yesss...

[womdtheband]

nah its great. very witty and perfect acting

[cuntsmasherHD]

this show makes me piss myself.

[BiSensual]

There's an episode where she's telling a story about his mother and says something to the effect where his mother called her a slut.

It was so random and funny. Which one was it, I'm skimming through each ep and can't find it.

[CONVERTIBLE94]

She was baking a childrens birthday cake with chestnuts and using a food processor and when her mother-in-law saw her using it she called her a "lazy slut" Just saw the episode

[BiSensual]

Yes! that's it... LOL...

but which ep was it? I couldn't find it, is it even uploaded here?

[CONVERTIBLE94]

I cant find it here. It's the second episode called "Birthday Parties". She bakes a birthday cake loaded with chocolate and feeds it to a party of dogs all with birthday hats on, the inside joke being that chocolate of course can be fatal to dogs BUT they don't really show them eating the cake,just a bunch of other food off of party plates around a table.  This series is hilarious.

[BiSensual]

It is!

[issabella999]

it's uploaded on you tube, just hard to find. search "posh nosh ep2 birthday parties". that's how i found it.

[BiSensual]

Awesome, I will try it now, tyvm.

[ATsarIsBorn]

BiSensual, you are perhaps missing the point. In Britain, "slut" does not have a sexual connotation. It still has the original meaning of a very sloppy person. So her mother-in-law was only criticizing her housekeeping, not her sexual behavior.

[myNYggas]

Aight bro, this Bi thing didn't say anythng abt sex perheps its all in yer head

SLUT! lulz

[Amcgleish]

That might be true in some parts of the UK, but where I grew up in Scotland it's definitely sexual. I recall being surprised by a Welsh friend calling herself a slut.

[JonathanBloggs]

No, slut means the same in britain as it does everywhere else

[soundseeker63]

He knows which side his Brad is battered (and so do we) but she doesn't seem to!! LMAO

"Pour hot bubling water over your fish, until its nicely, completely nice".

[gr8sarcasmo]

lol "embarrassed" instead of peeled

[wwetrekkie]

Lol.She keeps eating the fries.

"No I can't eat these... they're dry and soggy."

[jrr66]

What is the last city in North Africa that he says, right before "Barry, everyone"?

[klutzyputz]

Marsa Matruh (Egypt)

[fitdelicate]

nosh nosh nosh nosh me off

[axecalibore]

This is one of my favorite shows! Now I can see it again instead of trying to hunt for it as filler after Monarch of the Glen! Thank you, thank you! I love the theme song. My mother used to play it on the piano when I was little. Sounds rather like a man singing falsetto, imitating a woman, but it is good singing regardless.

[ATsarIsBorn]

The theme song is performed by the late Alfred Deller, the first great modern countertenor, who in the 1950s and 60s began to revive the English falsettist tradition. Several opera roles and many songs were composed for him. His successors now perform at opera houses and concert hall all over the world.

Still it's a good joke for those who know.

[hollywoodartchick]

That is really cool! Thanks for explaining that. I have wondered who that was.

[Malocosa]

LOL, Barry the builder PWN3s Simon

[AliasUndercover]

This is awesome! I've never heard of it before, but I'm about to watch all of it.

[grahwell]

Thanks for uploading this brilliant stuff - dry and hilarious.

Ps, yes, the singer is Alfred Deller

[cybercita]

who is that singing during the credits?  is it alfred deller?

[imogenlee]

sounds like andreas scholl

[Luka1397]

<3 it. So funny :D

[LivelyLorikeet]

When I first heard that "schoolboys" line, I thought my ears were playing tricks on me--I had to watch it again to believe it.

[kiosumiutaki]

GIVE THEM A THREESOME!!!! LFAMO vile little hussy, lol!!!!

[una2020]

OMFG! this is brilliant!

[Blarfster]

Nicing dish lol

[vixythepixie]

LOVE IT!

[Jabjabs]

Horray, episode 1 just what I've been waiting for! I've been telling people about this for years, now I can finally show them it. Great job.

[Trezor123]

I am so glad that somebody uploaded 1 episode of POSH NOSH.... HAHAHAHA LOVe this series!
