"Smells so bananery"😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@masterpuzzlegaming6349]

The funniest thing he has ever said, i had to take a lap around my apartment

[@junglekxngtalksanime]

I CAN'T with him😭😭🤣

[@shanebest4699]

FAM what the hell bananas oh my

[@mattayc266]

Ok ok 😂

[@VerdictV]

Wilddddddd! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Jelle1880]

'You haven't grrr once' 💀

[@jackiecolon2898]

I almost spit out my chips at that. 😂😂😂

[@grumpie925]

The “almost as dark as you” is a shared experience for all brown and black kids in white spaces😂. We all just let a collective groan

[@kelseymay4791]

The wayyyy I would get it from Asians sooo often. Basically any group the prides themselves in having lighter skin tones. Traumatizing

[@elchavodelocho2055]

On god!! So fnk disrespectful n annoying

[@LadyJoolree]

Adults too. I've heard this in every office and school I've worked in.

[@tharealnytro69]

"For someone who smells so bananery...!" WHAT?! 😂😂😂😂

[@belindanaarlamleholbek4250]

Shoooot .. “ I love that for you” is something I use pretty often, and I’ve always been sincere 😂 and now I’m just wondering if everyone else has thought I meant it as a backhanded compliment 😂

[@panthercat38]

Same!!! But it just takes one mean girl to turn any phrase to shit lol

[@chichi2425]

Right I feel like multiple of these are actual compliments it just depends on the situation it's used in

[@jmagswag]

James went crazy here he had the whole club crackin up the whole time

[@megangomezaddams]

0:29 Rem with the COMPLETE ick from the statement 😭

[@junglekxngtalksanime]

4:21 bruhh Ellis' facial expressions 😭😭😭🤣🤣

[@mnqobisithole5594]

😂😂 "How could they"

[@shanebest4699]

Yeah hahahH

[@beccadotelpy]

Lil bro was shook.

[@amazondiva7000]

"You're so well spoken" definitely triggered me. Growing up, that's all I heard from Caucasian people in the US south. I was also considered an Oreo to my own people. Not using slang but using proper grammar and enunciation was considered negative. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@XiAdu2]

SAME!! It was always the teachers! I used to hate that shit.

[@The0-2DemonKing]

This is going on my list of "How to explain Crabs in a Barrel to my non black friends"

[@jerryberry8967]

Same thing in South Africa when I go to visit family. Ironic thing is a lot of my family members who have never stepped out of South Africa are a LOT more articulate than me 🫠

[@Noceepour]

I use to get that alot working at a call centre dealing with people in the US, they would be so shocked when I say I’m from South Africa. “Like wtf they teach us english here as well.” 🙄

[@dragontyrant5607]

I grew up in SA too, they used to say i had an American accent.

[@justinhunter-knox4897]

James was cooking this episode 😂

[@andrewdiaz8603]

That bananery line had me cracking up 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kellygirlaj]

If I had a dime for every time I've heard, "You look better without your glasses."! Problem is, I can't see without them.

[@mimim868]

I also wear glasses and I saw this comeback once: You also look better without my glasses on.

[@michaelcooper8889]

Thai is literally the reason I switched to contacts cuz atp I gotta change sum😂

[@Katja-xy5zt]

So you don’t actually look at all without your glasses

[@kellygirlaj]

@@Katja-xy5zt No, I can't. Everything is blurry. The only way I can see is if the print is 100x bigger.

[@tellmywifiloveher6748]

My glasses serve as protection from accidentally giving my number to someone unattractive. I'd only wear contacts for the baddies. Average looking can humbly accept glasses

[@donetello8000]

They forgot "Oh, you're one of the good ones". I'm still speechless about that...

[@XiAdu2]

You’re about to set off so many triggers within me 😂 The unmitigated gall…

[@_jerina]

“You look good today or you smell good today” 😭

[@tali_rise]

That 'Today'

[@greyscalesx]

James has litteraly said "I love that for you" to Ellis multiple times on the pod bro 😂

[@michaeljackson2724]

The high pitched “yeah” 😂😂

[@timjohns8215]

For someone who smells so bananary😂😂😂

[@TimpossibleOne]

When someone says, "You look better without makeup." What they mean is "your makeup application game is trash."

[@iliilliliiliilliliiliillil9137]

Some girls are really good at it and make it look natural. Others not so much. I mean, they don't necessarily look like clowns, but I hate that obvious makeup look. Like reds being too red, and the contrast with other lighter parts just isn't right.

[@ekuaakumanyi6349]

That line "for someone who smells so banana-ery" Has me smiling like the joker! That's a try Jay-Sus not me!!

[@vickylovega23]

You can come if you want. Like no I'm not going. You don't seem interested enough for effort😂😂😂

[@rosieblythompson4255]

I love how gassed James gets when Fuhad laughs hard at his jokes

[@kwhisper1960]

Yeah I’ve had that “I’m almost as dark as you” a lot too 🤦‍♂️ jarring 😂 I’m brown af so no Karen you aren’t even close 😂

[@Caz8142]

Yup has that too, I just tell them at least mine don’t fade away and go about my day

[@tamirerdenebat2571]

What if... James comes up with same convo to Fuhad after Tenerife?

[@iliilliliiliilliliiliillil9137]

@@Caz8142 yo why do you sound so offended by that. Absolutely no person who would be willing to come up to you and say that means it in an offensive way. You find it offensive because you are deciding to take it that way. I'm white - in Thailand a monk sat beside me on a train, held his arm next mine and pointed how I'm lighter than he is and proceeded to laugh. A monk, bro. Full outfit and everything. Of course I saw him about an hour later playing on his phone. It's was a funny experience - also something funny to bring up when you talk about traveling

[@user-un8gk2qv5t]

@@iliilliliiliilliliiliillil9137Yes, for YOU 🤣 you can’t be jarred about how other people feel, that’s YOUR experience. Come on chief this is not science hao. You typed a paragraph for what hhayi 🤣🤣🤣

[@samsmith8954]

A 26yr old black guy told me i was the first black girl he had ever been with and sorry but i could not process what he said. It was too much pressure 😂 Heres another 😂 My sons dad said he got with a girl because she reminded him of me ... When i found out who it was 😩😤 i haven't spoken to him since, its been 3yrs 🤣🤣🤣 it was a whole insult even my mama was pissed 😂😂

[@Katja-xy5zt]

Girl 🤣🤣

[@AlalubosaOmo-sz1gm]

😂😂😂 How 'bout....... "Wish you all the best"

[@cudacush]

As a music producer, the 'music thing' hit me hard💀😂

[@magburn]

Abt 18yrs old I wore cheetah print suede leggings, chilling on the dance floor cuz another band was setting up, this girl tells me I could never wear those pants😭😭not picking up on the shade I said ofc u can….

[@ummik8336]

I was born and raised in the Netherlands, i am a muslim woman so i wear the headscarf. I work at a pharmacy, and when i help clients they literally sometimes say; your dutch is really good. Imlike: yea.. thank you.. i guess :)

[@chefykitty]

I nearly choked while laughing during this vid!

[@RastaSawgg]

So well spoken 😭😭😭😭felt that

[@GoCrazyBaby3]

8:42 🤣🤣🤣🤣 this yeah was too perfect

[@TheCornDavis]

Oh no... I've been an "i love that for you" girl 😂

[@hayaabdulla6236]

James I’m literally living my school years with you.. also I got you’re so pretty for a black girl🤣🤣

[@tashascott8402]

I am loving these clips .. if I don’t want to watch the whole episode again I come here because you guys are funny as hell 😂lol 😂I love you guys

[@reginafromrio]

You're so well spoken. Watch how I hold my utensils. It's crazy!😅

[@naturallybecoming831]

There’s something about me that you know that I don’t 😂😂😂 when you in denial lmao

[@keeksartstudio]

‘You look better without glasses’ like wow, I’m just trying to see

[@Ron-iq5pf]

daddy fuhad is definitely having a sugar crash in this ep🤣🤣

[@melowen6890]

People always say 1:59 that to me “I wish I had your confidence” or I get “I love how you can wear that style of clothes so confidently” lol

[@reginafromrio]

Ha! I had a guy I was dating who told me I had this doppelganger who worked at the pizza shop near his house. Of course I had to check it out. I met her and told her someone thought we looked alike, and I could see the resemblance (but she was years younger than me) and she says, "that's sweet". Aww way to break it to me😂. I could feel her thinking wtf..

[@leelee4455]

You're smarter than you look. A genius even.

[@lorainabaker828]

“I love that for you,” the funniest 😂

[@KatherineBerns]

4:37, ffs Katherine. Whyyy? Thou are your name not worthy! 😂

[@footballfreak2728]

James was too good on this video😂😂😂😂

[@superdry93]

5:22 - listen to it. I fell off my chair LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@raichelletempest]

I know Ellis be BEET RED in the face from holding in his laughter.

[@tkgod9346]

1:31 no when someone asks me do i think their partner is attractive. if don’t think so i always say “they are cute for u”

[@feliciaharris5981]

My manager said that to me after returning from beach trip “look I’m almost as dark as you” 👀👀

[@greenegreene6042]

I wouldn’t know whether I should laugh or feel disrespected 😂😂😂

[@valleykart]

6:27 my 6th grade teacher, was convinced i was nigerian, i called her out once cos she said ,”u speak so well ,u must be nigerian”… i was like bro have u heard nigerians speak, just say im dark and leave me tf alone😭😭

[@IDKBOXING]

The "you look better without makeup" from me is literally a compliment. I dont care what anyone says. If i tell a girl she looks better without makeup all im saying is she has natural beauty and doesnt need any of them chemicals on her beautiful face... I understand how it can sound like an insult, but it is NOT.

[@Cajun_Seasoning]

It doesnt matter how you intended it to sound like it isn't an insult, it still is. What you feel about that backhanded compliment isn't the general perception and knowing that, and still telling women that, is knowingly letting them feel like they've been insulted regardless of what you think of it. Because everything James said about that haircut is exactly how it feels to receive it. You're telling them all the time, care and effort they gave to put into their appearance was a waste. And as a woman who's received this before and know other women who've received this before, collectively we all agree 'literally who asked?' every single time. The only time a compliment of this nature is fine, is if you're compliment a woman that isn't already wearing make up and you want to make her feel beautiful in her natural skin, not when someone already went through effort to look a certain way.

[@IDKBOXING]

@@Cajun_Seasoning that's on them then. Not on me. With all due respect that's just being insecure

[@ncl2580]

I love this😂❤ thanks for the laugh

[@reehoneybee123]

You look better in person … so my pictures are butters?

[@Cajun_Seasoning]

yes

[@G254611]

I LOVE these gents❤😂

[@m.7054]

james says the most unpredictable thingd ever lol

[@IDKBOXING]

"You can come if you want" is literally my life lmao, whats so funny is they never asked me to go with them on their own, they only said "you can come if you want" if i asked them if i should come too. I always knew no one liked me in school ever and i never had friends, but i still wanted to go out sometimes so i went anyways. Even though i knew they dont like me.

[@TsundeRea]

Nah if they actually didn’t like you they wouldn’t have said that! They like you don’t worry!

[@greenegreene6042]

Maybe they get the vibes that you don’t feel comfortable and it makes them feel awkward, so they want to extend the invite but not make you uncomfortable by doing so. Maybe have a smoke or drink before you go next time and enjoy being there. I’m sure you’re a ball of fun once you relax and come out of your shell. 😘❤️

[@darayy6352]

"You're fr a angel fallen from heaven" so y'all just casually calling people Satan now okay 😭

[@angiescully2110]

James is a problem! 😂😅😂😅😂 & I freaking love it!!!

[@danic933]

That dress is so cute but would look better on me...

[@Ditumisho]

That’s fight talk 😂😂

[@preciouskhoza4573]

In South Africa its "You speak English so well "...... I swear I'd be holding back a hot backhand🤬

[@TsundeRea]

lol my friend from there can barely speak Afrikaans. 😂 He always speaks English.

[@PandaJanna0604]

No, because the "I'm almost as dark as you" was out of HAND in school. One girl did it to her friend, and I visibly cringed and said ew no. Pissed her all the way off. I'm glad I could make the guy laugh, though.

[@ahblezasellars]

My side hurts so bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Dam0la_55]

Like I watched the pod already but the grrr spun me again 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@here4551]

now I'm rethinking every "compliment" I've gotten

[@melmac3464]

"ur house is surprisingly alot cleaner than I thought it was gonna be" I COULDN'T BELIEVE SHE SAID THIS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE GIRL WHO LIVES IN SAID HOUSE 🤯🫣 My jaw hit the floor and the home owner smiled and loved it like a compliment. Who says that? Ppl weren't raised right.

[@emmanuelkojodwumfour-poku3530]

Fuhads watch game tho 🔥🔥🔥

[@BlackGirlMarvel]

The coordination with the goodies 🫶🏽🤌🏾

[@justdontinquire7576]

“Look I’m almost as dark as yo-“ *unrolling whip*

[@bnada7313]

I went to a comedy show once and my brother was sat next to one wham geezer who turned his rotund self round and fully stared my bro out any time he laughed at a fat joke 😂😂😂😂

[@Ironworker92]

James your mixed tho 🤣

[@mattayc266]

Wish i had your confidence Cool thankyou wish i had your bliss 😂

[@ChristinaQueenHeart]

"I LOVE THAT FOR YOU" can be both good or bad.

[@CrazyAce777777]

"you got that mia"

[@sheover9171]

I thought I was the only one that didn’t care for the “ I love that for you” saying. It gives mean girls vibes. Idk

[@nizakaluba3470]

Jaaaaamess😂😂😂 first bananery then grrr

[@user-hw5ui8fv2b]

James yourself esteem was low back then to stay with a girl that said that to you. We love to see the growth

[@neverstop9731]

bananery was brazy brudda. that shit was big brazy yo...

[@leahcimtooms]

BANANARY!

[@dianaafxo]

BUT I SAY I LOVE THAT FOR YOU THINKING IT WAS A NICE THING BECAUSE I GENUINELY AM HAPPY FOR THEM AND LOVE TO SEE GOOD THINGS HAPPENING FOR GOOD PEOPLE😭

[@briel7904]

"Have a nice life."

[@aldodray69]

Bros we talking Dave Chappelle? The 🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@ddogg713]

Great job to not have the camera go to Ellis after James said "banana'y"

[@cssatkins77]

She saying your character and you don't act like ignorant 😂 I had 1 or 2 tell me that shit!

[@eleosde7045]

I have always hated the skin comparison. I started making jabs saying I don't go in the sun to avoid wrinkles and suggest they find a better sunblock if they get baked that hard.

[@b.razzy_t.t5818]

early!! and nobody could tell me "I don't usually like black girls".... id fall over

[@Nani-0613]

Any time a pwrson says rhey are almost your completion or trying to be as "dark" as you You're so well spoken Your hair feels soft. i thought it would be hard, nappy, or like wool You can't be mixed. You have to be just black Your so.... for a .... person Your one of the good ones... Your not like the others... If you like it i love it Did you ever achieve your dreams I also agree with the ones you guys had

[@bellaprincesa2452]

I was telling someone about my dad and they said “I’m glad you know him” 😅 bruh my parents have been married 30 years this year and contrary to popular belief there’s more white kids without dads 😂

[@reginafromrio]

You look better without makeup is low key " you don't know how to put on makeup".

[@anaguduri2527]

I’ve had a LOT of people say “oh you speak English so well” just cause I’m from India and I had to go “yeah, colonised for 200 years, remember?” For it to feel just as awkward for them 😒

[@michellaborregaard541]

Remember guys, not all girls wear makeup for you. We wear it for us, for us to feel good and to be told we look better without is just useless info when we are dressed up.. Just say you look good. No one asked how I looked before I got ready.. Love you all keep making us laugh.

[@victoriascott9613]

Poor Ellis

[@G254611]

Ellis is a cool dude though. That's why we LOVE him so much❤ He has a great sense of humour ❤ Also I could hear him laughing in the background ❤❤

[@xMouffffx]

Why didn't you wanna show Ellis during the bananary joke 👀😂😂😂

[@Bintmaster2000]

I'M DEAD !!11 WHITE SIDE WAS SHOWING THIS EPISODE !!!!!

[@GrandRho]

HELLO DADDY'S

[@mattjeffries465]

For some who smells so WHAT 😭😭😭

[@xxjazzxx2160]

8:28 I say “if you want” just to give them the option because I don’t want them to feel like they HAVE to come, I want them to come to have fun. If I ask someone if they want to come, I do want them there but I just wanna give them the freedom to choose. Should probably avoid that now 💀 in case I insult them

[@XheartbrokenXTeddy]

I will say I use some of these. Like I love that for you... and I don't mean it in an insulting manner. It literally mean to me like I'm happy for u. And I will say I say I wish I had that much confidence... and it CAN go either way. But I generally mean it. And I get the hey twin all the time but only to close friends.

[@timjohns8215]

Lets gooo

[@thaliajonas8324]

I hear the “Mia Khalifa” ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL THE TIME! First time someone said to me when was when I was like 14, I didn’t even know who she was back then 😂💀 now I need glasses n don’t have a choice

[@rosieblythompson4255]

I work with a lot of Nigerians and when I come back with a tan it’s them telling me I’m almost as dark as them. Obviously as a joke because they are dark and I come out dark beige lol

[@Theycallmejassi]

I’ve got that Mia Khalifa one so many times SMH and guess what, it’s always from little wee wee teenagers

[@Officiall_mellissa.]

No because l recently moved here in 2022 December and on the 3rd day of school l had already developed the accent then a teacher asked me why l don’t have the same accent as my dad 😭
