@MichaelKingsfordGray Easy man, he probably meant to type "..." and instead wrote ",,,". It is not an unlikely typo, and typos are not indicative of an inferior education, just lack of typing skill. Though you could fault him for not proofreading his comment.
@@merlinious01 And whilst it probably was a typo, he could have for all this time thought it really was ,,, and has always done it like that so who knows who was wrong. Fuck out of here with your placid "holier than thou" white knight bullshit.
He definitely has a bit of the Mr bean in him. Facial expressions and body movement are such a big part of comedy. Not to mention canned laughter which I personally can't stand.
I remember my friend's father many years ago having a small amount of wine poured into his glass by the waiter for him to sample. He looked at the glass and asked "is that all I get?" Ha Ha!!
Debbie Ann : I just ask if the bottle he's brought is what we ordered "Then please pour it. I take it you don't serve wine that's not fit for drinking" "Certainly not sir" "Good, because if there's something wrong with it you'll feel the bottle hitting the back of your head" Say it with a smile and you'll be fine.
Debbie Ann : I'm sure some waiters do it to try to embarrass the customer in front of his lady companion.. Mind you, I've not experienced it for many years because I look and sound as though I know what I'm doing even when I don't. However, I still go to pieces trying to work out what knife and fork to use.
The reason a wine bottle is opened in front of the guest, is because there have been places where they serve cheap wine from expensive bottles to make huge profit. Still funny as hell tho:)
What amuses me about wine and the fafing about is when some wine expert is describing the taste, they mention every fruit you can think of but never the grapes that it's made of.
@MichaelKingsfordGray Nobody who is addicted to caffeine fail to function you're just exaggerating. Drugs damage the body, caffeine doesn't, major difference and it is not something to joke about.
Hilarious! Within my non-knowledgeable group of wine drinking friends whenever we eat out and order wine there seems to be a standard operating procedure. We all go through the motions of looking through the wine list and invariably the second cheapest wine is ordered, can't be seen to being a cheap charlie haha!
That's all I do when waiters pour a drop for me to confirm that the wine is good (not spoiled/air didn't penetrate the cork). If you ever get a bottle of wine that's applied, one sniff is all you need to immediately tell if it's gone off.
The wine bit is nearly as awkward as the oversized comedic pepper mill that the waiting staff use when you order a pasta dish. It's not a luxury item anymore, the freshly ground pepper I can buy a pepper mill in aldi for €1. There's always that awkward silence when they put it on your pasta dish. Just leave a normal sized one on each table ffs
It's hilarious every time :D Of course there are reasons why you taste the wine before everyone gets some. But I always have to think about the first time I went to a kinda nice restaurant with a fried of mine. I've witnessed my dad try wine before but never done it myself and had no idea what the wine I ordered was supposed to taste like. But I've been the one who ordered it for the both of us, so the waiter turned straight to me to taste it so I just played the 'bullshit production' and everyone was fine with it. I was hella nervous though :D
My ex used to open up cat food and allow her cat to sniff it, so I brought this up: Saying that the cat is probably thinking: "Yes that's cat food I've smelled it before" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Agreed. He doesn’t swear for the sake of it like so many other comedians. A lot of his humour comes from his mannerisms and expressions. Thats why he’s one of my favourite comedians. This sketch is one of my favourites - absolute classic.
I think I hurt myself I was laughing so hard on that one. And then we had, "I think I'll just go to the office and wait there." "But it's FRIDAY!!" "I don't CARE!!!!" oh dear. I DID hurt myself. Might have to go to the urgent care center. But to be sure, let's watch it again!!! YES!!
He is very funny. His delivery of the show is also superb, right speech speed, clear pronunciation, and just the right amounts of walking to and fro on the stage. He also dresses just right, not too casual, and not too formal like the 11:35 late night show presenters here in the US (dark suit, white shirt, and tie). He also cleverly avoids jokes that simply ridicule politicians (like our late night presenters here in the US).
It is now 03:17 in the morning and I am wide awake because I ordered coffee after dinner. At a restaurant. And that is why you are so funny, Michael, because you pick up on the simple day to day things we all do. Well done sir!
As a waitress in a fairly fancy restaurant, I also have no idea about which wines are good, or why we have to show them the label, or why we open it at the table. I suppose we show the wine just to make sure it's the one they asked for, and open it for them bc we're doing them a service, or something
Most of our customs comes down from old aristocracy, and if the aristocracy ever did anything, it’s bullshit and bluff. Kind of like all the upper class people today hoarding designer shit and fine art, when everyone clearly knows they’ve fuck all appreciation for them.
I was working on the assumption that a beefburger is from a cow, a chicken burger is from a chicken, a turkey burger is from a turkey, and hamburger is from a ... oh, wait! My wife says that a hamburger is from a cow. Sorry, folks. Just shows what I know! (Not a lot.)
Look, just give me the Australian stuff, can't go wrong there. Yellowtail bubbly is a fraction of the cost of the fancy Champagne stuff, and just as good.
As an Australian I agree, but also check out the Californian stuff. One of wines biggest embarrassments is when a blind tasting designed to showcase French wines actually placed Cali wines well ahead of them.
I sometimes have a coffee before going to sleep, I doesn't have any effect on me or anythig, I can sleep as usual. For me it's just one of the pleasures of the life
Haha! I love it. I attended a number of wine tasting night classes and of course, I know everything there is to know about wines. During that period it took me x10 the time to choose a wine in Sainsbury's or Lidl.:) Now it's the Sainsbury's "Jammie Red 'Roo" and I'm out'a there. :))
How come when you serve someone Spaghetti they don’t take a fork full and say “ ahhh yes a hint of garlic & rosemary, a trace of basil, definitely a hint of oregano”..
It _is_ weird though. I like Chilean red wine, the cheap house brand from the local supermarket, and I'll drink it with any meal (not with _every_ meal). In a restaurant, though, I'd be afraid to look like a fool if I'd order it with, I don't know, fish. Or pizza. Or whatever. It's stupid, because it's _my_ meal, _I_ pay the bill, and I'll have a Chilean red wine thank you very much. I order a coke instead and feel dumb for a while...
@@violetskies14 true, it is. But the world will snub you, and put you down if you behave like a hick. You can get away with being 'eccentric' if everything else about is 'refined' though, ie, if you're rich enough 😂😂😂
@@kristir1262 some people will but I'm not rich and have been called eccentric many times. No don't go to a posh restaurant in joggers but do order the wine you like and if they make you feel bad about it they're not doing their jobs properly. I've had to learn to not care what the world thought of me (disabled and gay) and once I did I felt much happier and I also found people became nicer and less judgemental when I didn't seem like I cared what people thought. They kind of just dismissed my weirdness as me being a bit eccentric.
I work in a fancy restaurant and before i started working there i had no idea people would order coffee after drinking alcohol and eating loads of food at around 10pm when someone asked me for it the first time i was very confused lol
I remember as the waiter, it's the most expensive wine please for the love of god don't say no. I always found placing the napkin on a customers lap the most awkward part. You're supposed to just do it but I would always ask. 😂
What is this issue with the coffee... I like and need an espresso after a good dinner in a restaurant. I get sleepy. Wakes you up enough to manage to get up from the table and find your way home. After you undress, take a shower and prepare for bed, the effect of the coffee is gone... In France they always offer coffee after dinner. (Especially if you have to drive, it helps a lot if you're awake!) As long as you don't have a giant Starbucks bucket before bed, you should be fine.
I've always loathed the pretentious bullshit that surrounds the drinking of wine I see wine two ways It's either shit or it isn't. Thus I'm not ever invited more than once by friends and family for winery tours
His joke is verymm...... he often makes adult jokes but it's hard for me to relate. T_T Still funny though but I wished he'd make jokes for my age group too
Licht Von Edelweiss Wait, how old are you? Most of his jokes are family friendly. He's one of the only comedians who doesn't use offensive, adult humour. He uses relatable, every day humour that most ages can relate to.
@@xalexis.editsx I've never order wine. I cant understand kids related joke never had a kid, Wife related joke I also cant relate not married. Most of his jokes it seems are somewhat based on his life experience
