Barry from Watford - Minty Biscuit 

The woman saying I understand his predicament is the highlight of this wind up

"Minty biscuit" is my safe word.

"its a chocolate affair" killed me

Splitting her spine? That takes the biscuit.

I just discovered today and have listened over 20 times. Absolute comedy gold. The timing, the subject matter, the straight man. I can’t take it anymore. Had to pop to the little boys room to check I haven’t shat myself on the last pass by. God bless you Barry from Watford

I heard this repeated on the radio once and had to pull over as I was laughing so hard and had tears were rolling down my face.

I remember listening to this live. I was in stitches. Comedy radio gold.

British humour is the best

I have stopped usinG the badge Following this controversy.

“It’s very nice, it’s a lovely one” “Can I just finish?”🤣🤣🤣

I'm British and I've worked in retail for 5 years. This is hilarious because of how accurate it is.

Image giving Barry a tin of assorted biscuits and then asking him to discuss them in order of preference. 🤣🤣😂

Nearly split my spine laughing! Need a minty biscuit to recover!

If it was to access a caramel Trio, a nice Taxi or perhaps a Blue Riband I could understand, but for a mint Viscount? It's political correctness gone mad.

The lady Pat is amazing she acts so well and she’s serious ‘I can understand his predicament’!

It's baked, and it's a chocolate affair.

It's a chocolate affair

Barry made some powerful points there.

Every caller on Jeremy Vine on Radio 2

I have reclaimed VAT on my wife's mobility scooter in order for her to be able to buy Tunnocks Caramel Wafers. The VAT on chocolate biscuits is higher rate whereas if there is no chocolate you pay the lower rate. But you can actually get the whole of the VAT back on a mobility scooter if you are registered disabled WHETHER OR NOT there is any chocolate on the disability scooter. The pastor on my Church used to put Tunnocks Caramel Wafers on the table at the Manse after church while he was still alive, but he went Home some ten years ago now. I'm not sure if the VAT exemption applied in those days.

This is comedy gold!

Do not listen to this whilst drinking tea. I nearly choked to death. I had to press pause, calm down and try to stop laughing. Of course I was drinking the tea with a biscuit. A minty one. Chocolate. Covered in foil.

I went out and bought a multipack of minty biscuits solely due to this phone call.

An absolute brilliant wind-up. Iain Lee is a great straight man. Comedy genius.

I didn't quite catch what biscuit he meant.

1:43 “chocolate” that just killed me

Dallas, TX here, just discovered Iain, looks like he has a new fan in the states.

Even after many years of listening to barry from Watford he still is comedy gold. I think he and the Iain lee partnership are still as good as they was on the lbc days lol

The algorithm makes this pop up from time to time. Never gets old! 😂

ive had one before and they are jolly nice

Thank god this was recorded Thank you Barry I love you

This deserves billions of views

i completely forgot about this for a few months but when i came back to it i realised how much i love it

This is the kind of output that made me fall in love with radio as a teenager, decades ago. @lbc pioneered this kind of radio but doesn't do it anymore.

Well Done Iain for letting this call go on. Funniest thing I've heard for ages.

I know people have medical problems but the biscuit is more important 😂

1:30 “It’s quite crunchy!”

Neighbour's quite keen...

I really want to try this bisquit

Well that was the most British thing ever.

It was a powerful point he made

Don't get me wrong, I've ALSO had a biscuit. Once. And that too was very nice. I agree entirely that the orange ones aren't so nice....

This video makes me so happy! I want Barry and his wife to have their own show. Barry and his Biscuits.

Well slap my thigh and call me Judith...... I've just found out that Barry from Watford and Clinton Baptise are the same person 😲😁

I've been a Barry fan for years- I'm so glad this is going viral!

Gold. Nice to know there is still fresh radio gold coming out.

I must try this biscuit. its sounds...minty.

"Do you have a blue badge?" "Yes!" :D

This is the funniest thing ever. Easily. If this was a sketch I would say it’s unbelievable. Tremendous.

At first I thought he was taking the biscuit but he actually had quit a good point in the end

I wish B.F.W told us what flavour the biscuit was for heaven's sake 😮

"IT'S A CHOCOLATE AFFAIR"

you can still catch Barry from Watford sometimes on the Steve Wright show on Radio 2. always good for a laugh!

Bear in mind that this would all have been improvised

Fantastic minty biscuit saw some in Farm Foods at the weekend and I couldn't resist lol absolutely brilliant

Loved this comment from David J. James. David, pity you weren't on the call as well. "I have reclaimed VAT on my wife's mobility scooter in order for her to be able to buy Tunnocks Caramel Wafers. The VAT on chocolate biscuits is higher rate whereas if there is no chocolate you pay the lower rate. But you can actually get the whole of the VAT back on a mobility scooter if you are registered disabled WHETHER OR NOT there is any chocolate on the disability scooter. The pastor on my Church used to put Tunnocks Caramel Wafers on the table at the Manse after church while he was still alive, but he went Home some ten years ago now. I'm not sure if the VAT exemption applied in those days."

A great joke is very much like a well-formed, chocolate-enrobed, biscuit-based, mint-centered confection. A minty biscuit, if you will.

Just gave my son some girl scout thin mints and figured it was time he heard this as he was eating them. The legacy continues.

Absolutely fantastic. Made my sides hurt

In all fairness though, Viscounts are fucking glorious.

I want to hear more about the biscuit. It seems to be very delicious and only available at certain stores. Not those orange ones, the're rubbish

Barry from Watford needs to be a Blue Badge Holder.

For f**ks sake Barry, it's a crunchy minty biscuit, good lord!

Bit too minty for my liking, i rather a custard cream but really the best at the moment is the tesco own make bourbons. They are really nice with a cup of tea but please take care as they have a habit of breaking of after dipping in the tea. That is known in the trade as a disaster. As your cup of tea can be ruined and you have lost the biscuit forever. A jammy dodger rarely breaks after dipping in tea but rich teas are famous for breaking off easily, however these can be scooped out of the cup (or mug) with a clean teaspoon without much damage to the integrity of the tea. Dispose of the sodden rich tea biscuit in the bin or even pass on to the dog or even your wife.

I love Barry, he cracks me up!!

i started laughing at 'split my spine'

Give Barry his own TV show, he can be searching for the Great British Biscuit.

Barry is a legend.

This is the best video on youtube.

This has brought me J O Y it's hillarious

I wanted to hear more about the orange biscuit.

i die every time he says 'mihnteh biscuit'

“Yeah it’s very nice, it’s a lovely one” “Can I just finish?”

Pat: could end up splitting her spine Barry: medical problems

Is this a new Monty Python production?

the legend of barry from watford

Last second recommendation from Barry to avoid the orange ones

This makes me want to search out and find a Viscount biscuit and try it out. I already don't remember what the video was about aside from the minty biscuits. lol

This guy called talkSPORT and now I’m in instant fan

"...and it's a chocolate affair" LOOOOL

Distinctly Minty Biscuit.....I actually prefer the Orange ones, but the absolute solution to this of course is to have a decent-sized cup of cornish tea and have 1 Minty biscuit and go on then, have an Orange Biscuit too....covered in chocolate and in foil.

This is why I Love the British

Choclit! Choclit! Reminds me of little Britain where Lucas plays the woman who runs a weight loss centre and he makes a joke too about pronouncing it ‘choclit ‘

I never missed an Iain LBC show.

Barry is onto something about that minty biscuit

That is Brilliant

I really like the sound of this minty biscuit, even the orange one sounds good. "It is delicious"

I doubt it gets any funnier than this. GOLD.

i'm suddenly craving a minty biscuit

In life, I've learned that the orange one is NEVER as tasty as the green one.

The orange one isn't so nice as say, the minty one really...

This is absolutely hilarious! XD

That was one of the funniest things I've ever listened to! Hysterical!!

Just brilliant

I can't stop listening to this and laughing. lol

A crumbly biscuit that's also minty

Ugh... I hate it when radio hosts make people move on too quickly? What COLOR is the minty biscuit? Does it smell like cheese? How many minty biscuits could you theoretically stack on top of eachother before you died? If you rubbed the minty biscuits on your balls, would you be able to run faster? LET THE MAN SPEAK. I NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE MINTY BISCUIT.

did he mention it was a minty biscuit

shame it's not a genuine caller... Barry is Alex Lowe

I had no idea Barry from Watford was Alex Lowe ... Yalright
