An Englishman's Guide to Modern Living: The Cocktail Party | House & Garden & LG SIGNATURE

The key ingredients for a successful cocktail party? Food, but nothing too fussy; a playlist of absorbing music to plug any lapses in the conversation; and, most importantly, a nonchalant attitude that makes your guests feel you’ve conjured the whole thing with virtually no effort at all. Welcome to the north London home of creative director Duncan Campbell, one half of creative agency Campbell-Rey, and artist and interior designer Luke Edward Hall. Guests lucky enough to receive an invitation to the pair’s annual cocktail soirée can expect a potent mash-up of German opera and hors d’oeuvres served on lettuce-ware china. The whole evening is made significantly easier with the help of smart and stylish LG SIGNATURE household electronic products, including the LG SIGNATURE InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerator stacked full of sparkling wine, the LG SIGNATURE TV for the ultimate entertainment experience, and the LG SIGNATURE TWINWash Washing Machine for when disaster strikes!

Their sarcasm was so dry, I thought their drapes would catch on fire.

[@sandramalone3522]

How charming and campy at the same time. Loved this video. The tall guy has some seriously great hair!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

I may be considerably lower on the social scale than these two gentlemen, but I relate to every word they uttered! Thank you for the video!

[@frederickthompson2697]

TOO fun and a bit tongue-in-cheeky. Still, not without style and panache. Great preparation despite the dissing attitude. That is to say, the visuals belie the text...DUH!! Old that I am, I'd still accept an invite just to meet such clever (such a facile word) and creative young men. (The quail's eggs are a tad pretentious - SHADES of Brideshead Revisited...) Thanks for the smiles.... F.

[@phronsiekeys]

Please bring back Regency dress for young gentlemen.

I lost it at “particularly German Opera”🤣

A mistake here, it must be Italian)

They're like Wes Anderson characters brought to life :) 😂

WOW imagine an American commercial referencing French nouvelle or opera! Love the creativity

[@kymberleedellaluce]

So fun! I love their wit almost as much as their style. Bravo!

"The world without parties would probably be a better place..." ( December 2018) 🙄 KZbin recommends this in 3rd month of 2nd lockdown... 😷 👐🏼 😂 ( January 2021)

[@heyya7464]

It must be a blast to have a blast with them 🙄😂

[@trrill]

Opera gets misused for commercial purposes all the time, but you'd think when Duncan says "German opera," the producers would have the sense not to insert a snippet of so ubiquitous an Italian-language aria as "Lascia ch'io pianga."

[@IMAInteriors]

exactly what I thought...

[@jasonhenderson9833]

As they've already claimed to put out a 'packet of crisps' while showing a lobster, and talked about emailing an invitation while creating one by hand, I took the music to simply be a continuation of the joke...

[@evelyntan5588]

Or was that supposed to be a ha, ha moment?

[@vq2vx]

the whole thing was supposed to be humorous, & I found it very much so

[@MaximilianvonPinneberg]

Good advert for LG

[@vq2vx]

Too funny! Love their wit, & style!

[@jenns.5791]

"we're not a charity." 😂

[@lorrygeewhizzbang9521]

I really wish they had their own youtube channel so we could just follow them around. 😀

[@mildredhighcock7333]

Both a bit affected, and longing to be in a Beaton/Hockneyesque world, BUT rather sweet with it

Olé, olé...love that torero (bullfighter) outfit!

[@keithfernandez1418]

... you two are hilarious. your so 'And and Dec' darling. you should do a sketch for the BBC. ordinary people, or even common people, would just love you !!! They would a piece of bread stick and moldy old cheese, from the back of the fridge... ... and hand written invites, that's just for people you love and adore and care about not just any old trollops, darling... ...

[@kareng9010]

Most excellent

[@rebeccamcclure2159]

Ha! Took me a minute. Well played

[@ItsMe-yv9jd]

I love how these self absorbed EXPERTS on party planning, state that "you gotta keep the guest list very concise I think, the fewer the better, no riff raff" (then they look at each other and pause... as if they suddenly realized, they are the undesirable riff raff!)

[@patrickb6341]

Did you catch the sarcasm of the whole video?

[@ItsMe-yv9jd]

@@patrickb6341 I'm busy, can I ignore you later.
