Fun Fact for all the non-italians: that one is a say that we have here in Italy. He translated it in the most literal way. It is so common here that no one ever laughs at it anymore. I have never realized how fun it could be when it is translated so brutally like that. EDIT (10 months and 140 replies after the original comment): As it appears from the comments below, this say has countless variations in many different languages around the world. I am glad to have sparked this discussion.
@@KingOfBboys se mia nonna aveva le ruote era una bicicletta... I think it's used a lot in Rome, where I have also heard: "if my grandpa had 3 balls he would have been a pinball machine"

It's common in Spanish too. I always found it very funny, but its true that nobody laughs at it after hearing it for the 1000th time.
The moment Holly said ham, and Phil saying Oh No, you knew Holly has landed in hot water with Gino, especially after seeing his reaction to the ham comment.
@@charlesknowles7697 but gino said ots adifferent recipie. Not at alllike mac and cheese wich is extremely bad by the way. Americans stay with the burguers please.
2:04 - You can see the moment Gino came up with the joke. He looks down and smirks. The cogs in his head have clicked into place. Then he pauses, rehearses it in his head to make sure he’ll say it smoothly in English, then unleashes it at the perfect timing.
This ain't a joke it's a saying. Greeks use it and I guess italians as well. Just like if my grandma had balls she would be my grandpa. Or if my grandma had wheels she would be a skate.
@@xristosgousios2181 haha, it's not aunty had bollocks line. It's my aunty is a slapper line. Bike meaning girl that sleeps around a lot. My grandma has slept with that many people if she had wheels she'd be a bike. It's a faux pas on his behalf because he's basically just called his Grandma a slapper on live tv by accident. That's what's funny. A common saying isn't something that makes people choke with laughter. It's the faux pas that's making people laugh.
@@upon-fe2720 Erm, no. He's saying that if his grandma had wheels she would have been a bike. If you put ham in this it would be a carbonara, not whatever it currently is. As it is, his grandma is still his grandma and the dish is still the dish. You're reaching.
It’s not a joke, it’s an Italian colloquialism, but you can see that he did take a few seconds to translate it from Italian to English in his head and double check to see if it made sense.
We often use this expression in Italy to describe a paradox, expecially in Rome... 😆 Very funny... Sometimes we use the "grandfather" and replace the bike with a wheelbarrow...
Exactly, it is generally used to stop the "but, iffers" of this world when any given matter is pretty obvious within its context and they are just acting like pains in the arse by chucking in improbable alternatives
The fact that he made a translated saying works in the first place is already genius, and being unintentionally funny on top of that, what a piece of work this guy is
Gino dacampo is one of those people that is just naturally funny and i believe this clip got him on the job on celebrity juice qnd he was great on that.
i've seen this thousands of times and i never not laugh hilariously at ginos grandmother joke, pure comedic timing, pure reaction from the hosts, pure gold :) :) :)
@@alessandrom7181 did she? Oh...I didn't notice it. Perhaps in British context, it might be some term of endearment. I'm not British, so I am just speculating here
I knew many Italians during my time in Romania and Russia, and drove hundreds of transports to Italy, and I think nearly every Italian who knows English, sounds like this. I've only heard 2 or 3 female secretaries speaking English flawlessly.
I love how he take a little pause to process the madness that’s coming out from holly’s mouth. You can literally see the battle between the angel and devil that’s in Gino’s head, he’s deciding whether to let it slide or violence. He chose violence 😮
One of the oldest Italian jokes!!! Used for decades Every time someone starts to make excuses using “ if “… Another typical one is “ if my grandpa has 3 balls he would have been a pinball.
Have always been working when this is on. Love holly and gino and phil. Know this is old but heard it was always fun to watch off people that werent in work and watching it.
Amazing! I always thought that was a Yiddish expression. To hear it from this Italian cutting up these Brits in laughter is delightful. My dad always said ''If my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a bus!''
Hahahah..you can watch it thousand times and you'd still laugh. We use that line all the time in Italy, but he dropped it in the perfect moment. That woman btw is gorgeous. Also the guy is very funny.
After taking out the two hosts, Gino continued to take out the rest of the crew. Love how he doesn’t realise the carnage he’s just caused and keeps calm and carries on.
1:59 He's like Stephen Hawking when he meets someone of Flat Earth Society. It can't be real, all Italian fellows thought that at the same time. A huge disturbance in the Force...
It just keeps on giving! You can see the cogwheels in Gino’s head turning and turning with a mix of bewilderment, scoff and the mere mention of ham, right up until he delivers the comeback of a century. 😂
