Rhod Gilbert - Trying to Buy One Baked Potato REACTION

[@TheLyds01]

Rhod’s missing luggage one is hilarious. I was in tears.

[@martindunstan8043]

I was about to put that, all Rhod's Rants are funny and lost luggage is a favourite

[@scouseofhorror104]

I love the togs of a duvet one 🤣🤣🤣

[@torlcean]

That is hilarious!

[@grc9ball]

I Love the Luggage one and also Egg & cress sandwich.

[@arthurgatward7369]

The award winning mince pie.

[@Stuffthatsfunny1]

Rhod talking about his luggage is a great one as well, and the one where he talks about the toothbrush which he mentions in this

[@martindunstan8043]

Lost luggage, definitely 👍

[@frasbo80]

"egg & cress sandwich" is another hilarious Rhod bit.

[@lizthompson9653]

Very brave man. Rhod has been undergoing treatment for cancer for the last year and ironically had treatment at a cancer centre which he did a large amount of fundraising for. I believe he has started to perform again though recently.

[@martindunstan8043]

Quite remarkable that the man is recovering from stage 4 cancer to a point where he can tour, that's got to be tough.

[@AlBarzUK]

Glad to hear he is back from his cancer treatment. I hadn’t heard that.

[@conwaynoel3715]

Great news you Welsh wizard, from a Galway fan.

[@taimitra5086]

The lady who got burnt was pretty much publically dragged by McDonalds lawyers in an attempt to discredit her. The temperature of the coffee was exceedingly hot and not a sensible way to serve it. She did win.

[@Nick_C1997]

Yeah, the coffee was so hot it would be legally considered a hazard. There were over 700 cases of people complaining to McDonalds about the coffee too hot, but McDonalds didn’t care, even after the courts said they had to reduce the temperature of their coffee, they didn’t That woman suffered third degree burns and needed skin graft treatment because McDonalds served their coffee at 190 degrees, she nearly died!

[@SarthorS]

@@Nick_C1997 Not 700 cases of people complaining. But over 500 lawsuits from those who had been hospitalised and even permanently disfigured. This had been going on for years with McD's refusing to serve their coffee at a more sensible temperature. The woman originally asked them to just cover half of her medical bills which were something like $40k. I think McD's offered her a few hundred. It was the judge that bumped the award up into the millions to send a message to McD's. McD's lawyers argued that absolutely scalding coffee tasted better. The womans lawyer made the more sensible argument that people would have to wait for the coffee to cool down to the point it was drinkable, and so would get fewer free refills.

[@AJ-cv9zf]

Coffee is supposed to be hot. Idiots

[@Harrison5ived]

Rhod Gilbert is a master of 'angry rant' comedy. Other good clips to check out are 'Luggage', 'Egg and Cress Sandwich', 'Duvet', 'Toothbrush' and 'Torch (flashlight) with the power of a million candles'. But the one that NO ONE talks about is his rant about a cafe/restaurant called Red Hen. The 'Red Hen' video is one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my life and actually made me cry with laughter.

[@blunderbusssi9587]

The egg and cress sandwich is legendary!!! 😂

[@familyhenderson9863]

i Know what you mean, it is comedy genius from the jokes to the delivery

[@jen6879]

Rhod (pronounced Rod) is short for Rhodri - a Welsh name. He’s extraordinarily shy off stage and such a lovely guy. When you go to see his live shows, he leaves mystery prizes for random ticket holders but tells people in advance to collect these at the box office as he doesn’t want people to feel embarrassed or nervous thinking they’re going to be dragged up on stage later in the show😅

[@True_Heretic]

Just wow! I didn't know that.

[@BizzyX78]

----- @jen6879 ----- - I can't remember from the top of my head where, but I distinctly remember something about the name 'Rhod' meaning 'Gift' in Welsh. I might be wrong, but at least that is what I remember... -----

[@comawhite39]

Damn..... Guessing I wasn't me then lol. Such a great live show though.

[@FixTheLanes]

It's an angar management diary he is reading from. Rhod Gilbert- egg and cress sandwiches is a hillarious one to watch

[@seanbarker4610]

Interesting fact, in the village Rhod lives the local shop has potatoes sold singly! You can buy Rhods potatoes singly now!

[@dinger40]

The "Loose Potato" was a reference to "Loose Women" a TV program known in the US as "The View"

[@glyngasson8450]

He tells a fantastic tale about buying a duvet

[@snakesrule5]

I know you probably won't see this but I just wanted to give some info about the woman who sued McDonalds that you were talking about. She admitted that it was her fault the coffee spilled, what she was suing about was that the coffee caused third degree burns on her thighs and genitals; she wasn't sue because she wasn't told the coffee was hot, she was suing because McDonalds' was serving coffee so hot that it was basically a safety hazard and she only took enough money to cover her medical bills (it became a class action lawsuit at 300 people also got similar burns). The reason why people think because she claimed she 'didn't know hot coffee was hot' was McDonalds' lawyers had a good smear campaign.

[@AndrewMcgill-j5c]

The brilliant Rhod Gilbert

[@Dr_KAP]

This was brilliant- he was reading from his stress diary, which is supposed to be a tool to help him deal with his anxiety 😂 now you have to see him on Would I Lie to You!!

[@grabtharshammer]

Rhod Gilbert is a very funny comedian, always has me in tears laughing. When he first became famous across the UK his style was always him ranting about some ludicrous situation hilariously. This show is one where he came out and tried to convince everyone he had been having Anger Management classes, hence his anger management diary, which he "reads" from. Several VERY funny stories based on this, you should look at more

[@skibboshadow2670]

My dear friends, Rhod is not taking a "stand;" he is just being Rhod. He is like this with everything!

[@jackhagens8964]

Couple of pieces of context. As people have said, he is referring to large potatoes, suitable for baking, so he is buying raw uncooked potatoes. Tesco is a large supermarket chain, but ‘Tesco Metro’ is a small, scaled down version, often found on a high street or at a Gas station, more the size of a convenience store,with fewer goods and they obviously don’t sell loose potatoes, just a pre packed version sold in a pair. Also, when he mentioned ‘loose potatoes’ and the potatoes sitting round chatting, he was making a joke about a show called ‘Loose Women’ which I guess is similar the ‘The View’

[@stephensinger3]

Rhod work experience show is good. Each episode he does another job around Wales. Everything from Florist in Pourthcawl to ghost hunting in Brecon. We saw him live in Cardiff, brilliant.

[@damianleah6744]

We are so lucky in so far as we have so many fantastic and brilliant comedians, who all gave their genius ways of making us laugh 😂

[@Joe_Sheffield]

No one, you but no one rants quite like Rhod. Absolute legend.

[@andymcgill354]

Absolutely brilliant Rhod Gilbert

[@keithevans9544]

He's talking about a large potato, sold as suitable for baking.

[@DavE-bh8lz]

Rhod is also sometimes a guest on WILTY.

[@jonbolton3376]

His name is pronounced 'Rod'. Tesco is one of our big supermarkets. Thank you for doing this, Rhod is one of my favourite comedians. He has many other great stand up moments, and stories on WILTY that i think you'll both also enjoy.

[@TenCapQuesada]

My favourite WILTY story of Rhod's is about his hamster, Ianto!

[@jonbolton3376]

The hamster one is definitely a classic.

[@Pomdownuder]

One of the great ranters of all time,- pure brilliance.

[@rasmusn.e.m1064]

Ok, so here's the context: This is part of a big bit in the show about him attending anger management. That's why he starts out reading from the piece of paper, which is supposed to be an anger management control plan. He's supposed to write down incidents where his anger got out of control and how he dealt with it. Oh, and ps. In English, he's just called Rod, like the short form of Rodney. Rhod is a Welsh name and in the Welsh language, the Rh makes a specific sound that doesn't exist in English; You noticed that he rolls his r's, the rh-sound is like that but without using the voice at the same time, so kind of like the difference between Z and S, where R is more like Z and S is more like Rh. I hope that makes sense to the English teacher at least :) Anyway, just to reiterate, it's just pronounced Rod in English.

[@janetramsdale4478]

His name is Rhodri

[@irreverend_]

Macdonald's coffee being that hot is actually an issue. Should never make coffee above 80°C, ruins the flavour apparently. Also, on occasion, burns you to the point it fuses your clothing to your leg if you spill it, but we all know the real issue is the flavour

[@loungelizardatwar7375]

Not sure if it's true, but I've heard that this was such a hit for him that he had a potato tattooed on his back!

[@irreverend_]

To go with the flaming battenberg tattoo? :)

[@mizofan]

In Would I Lie to You? he does reveal potato tattoo yes, i didn't know why he had it

[@lindamerrett6600]

Thank you love Rhoda rants.🇬🇧

[@JC-yc7of]

Rhod is an exceptional story teller, when he can easily point out the absurdities of modern living, and the every day frustrations. His full show is a laughter roller coaster from start to finish, when you mentioned rolling his “R’s”, it’s quite a Celtic trait most easily heard in Wales and, Scotland and Ireland. I do enjoy your reactions , as your more and more introduced into British humour, a lot of which is grounded in sarcasm.

[@thebograt6810]

Rhod's rants are epic :D

[@malcolmbell5266]

The labelling did make me laugh, there was a story last year where supermarkets were saying they had to label daffodils as non edible because some people had mistaken them for Spring Onions

[@sandrastorer5678]

Shower gels ! Brilliant!!

[@dalewyatt1321]

He has similar rants about airport luggage and an insurance claim. Very funny man.

[@rosa32]

You wouldn't think he is extremely shy off stage. I saw a documentary about him. There are some parts of the UK where we talk fast.

[@lillired857]

I tried to drink my water, big mistake I started wearing it when he mentioned the onion for his niece lol

[@nigelbennett4738]

We've been lucky enough to see him live twice, had us in tears with laughter. He is at that level for most of the show, it's relentless, and he structures his shows really cleverly too, pulls threads from earlier rants together as the show goes on. Genuinely left with my face hurting from laughing so much!

[@forhealth5730]

Rhod is great in Wilty. He gives David some good arguments

[@gavingiant6900]

It's his anger management tour thing. He references that book thing abit.

[@nadeansimmons226]

He does a great one about trying to buy a sandwich on a train as well. He is a gorgeous funny Welshman

[@paulhanson5164]

Rhod ( Rod ) is great at ranting, 3 other routines by him that spring to mind are Egg and Cress sandwich, Luggage and Plug Sockets. That folder he is holding is meant to be from his anger management course. He has also appeared several times on WILTY and is great on that to.

[@jamespasifull]

I've never had a 'too hot' coffee from McD's! My Cappuccino is always just the right temperature to drink, mind you, I suppose it might be too hot if I threw it on my thigh!! 🤣

[@templestark4779]

Never thought a rant about a potato would be so fffffff funny

[@True_Heretic]

Like so many of our best comedians, Rhodri has his own, high energy, idiosyncratic and unique delivery. He got way more out of a mere and meagre potato than Gordon Ramsay ever could.

[@debnbhuy]

Love a great rant !!

[@jameshumphreys9715]

It his anger management diary

[@deansmith4752]

Rhod was 'reading' from his anger management report

[@davidfuters7152]

Rolling your ‘R’ is easy Just stand up , have your feet about 10inches apart , then rotate the bottom half of your body keeping your torso still 🤪🤪

[@sarahc1371]

In the UK we can buy regular raw potatoes, and the supermarkets also sell much larger raw potatoes specifically for making into baked potatoes, which are sold as ‘baking potatoes’. I think he was talking about raw potatoes rather than pre-cooked potatoes, as these ‘baking potatoes’ are normally sold in packs of 2 or 4.

[@pauldear6660]

"Lost Luggage" is my favourite of Rhod's skits. He is currently recovering from cancer.

[@bowensgarageross-on-wye]

I've seen Rhod 3 times live now & one of my favourites. He's been battling cancer for the last 12 months or so but I think on the mend 🤞 Luggage is a good skit, toothbrush, tog rating system, torch with the power of a million candles, travelling chef all definitely worth a watch 👌

[@markwakefield8533]

When I was a kid my mum would buy vegetables including potatoes at the greengrocer and they were weighed and wrapped in old newspaper. Early recycling

[@stephanstreet2160]

Lost luggage and Anger management are both really funny

[@normanseaman6397]

Rhoda talking about uncooked potatoes, they are usually larger than standard potatoes and sometimes do come in packs of two

[@murder13love]

Saw Rhod live and met him afterwards, he playfully mocked my wife as she said she knew someone from Cardiff (Welsh capital) and he said, "oh what's her name, I might know her!" And she gave the name not knowing he was being sarcastic 😂 In my top 3 comedians, lovely bloke too!

[@reallivebluescat]

A courgette is a zuchinni

[@marcussmith8747]

He was talking about raw potatoes that you can buy.

[@cherryblossom3046]

HE is WELSH, from Wales, hence the way he speaks English. He is also hyper! Very funny but always making a commonsense point😂

[@matthewprice2626]

By the looks of it Rhod has survived stage 4 cancer and the people who helped him are those he's been bigging up and making money for for years. He's a legend as are the NHS.

[@aarronedge7810]

Rhodds anger management is so funny

[@maxmoore9955]

Excellent. He's Bang on.

[@CatholicSatan]

Rhod on shower gels is utterly hilarious. He writes to corporates and their replies to his off-the-wall complaints are side splitting.

[@JackRabbit002]

He rolls off his R's because his Welsh man I slip into it when I get excited or lose my temper! I'm from Brum (Birmingham England) 😆

[@ellenwhelehan9579]

Watch Rhod on Would I lie to you talking about his hamster. So glad to see Rhod so Well again.. His year was so tough...

[@vilebrequin6923]

It was a raw baking potato he was buying. He should really have said baking potato, rather than baked but no-one here would confuse the two as we see them all the time in 2s.

[@reginaldmolehusband4330]

He is buying a ‘Baking Potato’ raw to be cooked at home but we generally refer to them as Baked Potato. (Bad English from us). Great vid guys, keep them coming.

[@keith6400]

Rhod is referring to his Anger Management Diary.

[@martinsterio5421]

Hi I love your channel I have to tell you that I'm Welsh as is Rhod Gilbert from Wales in the uk don't know if you know it because not everyone in the UK is English or Scottish lol thanks ❤

[@andymcgill354]

It's Rhod rythmes with God

[@hot5and77]

The woman who sued for the hot coffee is one of the most misunderstood stories. She was a 79 year old woman who was driven to McDonald's by her grandson. She was in a parked car when she spilt the coffee on her lap. The coffee was at near boiling point and it gave her third degree burns on her legs and genitals. She went into shock and nearly died. She needed painful skin grafts and her surgeon said it was the worst he'd seen. She admitted that the spill was her fault, but believed that the coffee was too hot. She didn't want to sue and all she wanted was for McDonald's to help with her $20,000 out of pocket expenses, but they only offered her $800. McDonald knew that the temperature they sold the coffee at was hazardous as the previous year they had 700 complaints from other people who had received burns from it. She tried mediation with McDonald's, but they weren't having any of it so her only option was to sue. It was the court that decided on the enormous payout and it pressured McDonald's into reducing the temperature and stop burning people. This was a case of a working class person taking on a big corporation and winning. The reason why people think this is frivolous is because of a massive disinformation campaign by the corporate lawyers, including lying about the fact that she was driving when it happened. The major corporations funded fake protests against an "epidemic" of frivolous lawsuits and the media fell for it hook, line, and sinker. As a person from the UK, I love to make fun of the american suing culture, but it's simply not based in reality. The average lawsuit is settled for $55,000 and most of them are justified. It's not all about putting labels on vacuum cleaners saying "not for rectal use". I learnt this from "Adam Ruins Everything" by the way. It's well worth a look if you aren't already aware of the programme. It comically challenges many myths and misconceptions.

[@keithygadget381]

He’s reading his anger management diary

[@mossyman65]

I love a good Rhod rant his one on the tog rating system has me in stitches.

[@robbie_]

Ah I love Rhod's ranting, haha.

[@EmmaLouUK]

Rhod (Rod) is amazing! 😂 he does a series called Rhod’s Work Experience where he tries loads of different jobs but yeah anything of Rhod’s is brilliant!

[@CreedBrattonTheOffice]

He wasn't trying to buy a pre-baked potato. He was trying to buy a Jacket Potato, which is basically just a large potato that you tend to bake and stuff with other bits. You know because of his comment about nailing it first time and not needing a contingency potato.

[@stevew3196]

In the UK there's a tax on plastic bags. The Government set it at 10 pence. Some supermarkets are charging 60p! The same supermatkets are selling bread fruit vegetables cheese eggs and other goods in plastic wrappers and containers. Last year Rhod announced he had head and neck cancer. He's received treatment and is back performing.

[@drwhatson]

Yes, I like extreme sarcasm.

[@jameshumphreys9715]

Another two are, egg cress and sandwich, missing suitcase

[@True_Heretic]

"CLIFF - Do not jump"

[@stevesoutar3405]

This is part of Rhod's Anger Management tour - part of his act was an angry rant about the ridiculous questions in his Anger Management diary he was given

[@whisperproof7332]

I identify as a potatoe: Because I get baked and smashed 🤭

[@bushchat28d]

she knew it was coffee though - her choice to have it hot.

[@robertlonsdale5326]

He meant that it is a potato that bakes better than others, it comes raw. We used to get spuds loose and were put in a brown paper bag that bio degrades.

[@francesthompson593]

It’s pronounced Rod he’s from Wales. His Luggage sketch is brilliant! Tesco is the 2nd biggest Supermarket Chain in the world, 2nd only to Walmart

[@daveofyorkshire301]

Tesco is the 3rd biggest grocery store in the world by revenue, behind Walmart and Carrefour... It's the biggest in the UK.

[@shanecrosby3492]

Tesco is like stop and shop 👍

[@stevew3196]

Rhod pronounced ROD he's Welsh. Buying a single potato for baking isn't a big deal in the UK most Green Grocers ans supermarkets sell them loose as well as prepacked. And provide paper bags to put them in. Sweet potatoes are also sold singly.

[@pikricky]

Rhod is Welsh and they tend to roll their R's when speaking,i love the Weish accent,the reference to loose potatoes is aimed at a daytime chat programme in UK called Loose Woman with 4 women presenters where they have different guests on chatting about different topics hence the menopause reference,and he means baking potato's some people just call them baked potatoes when they are buying them from the fruit and veg counter

[@suzielees5227]

Hi Guys. You’ve miss understood. The baked potato Rhod is referring to is uncooked raw potatoes of a decent size, suitable to bake, add fillings (beans/tuna/cheese/ham/ prawns etc) to have as a meal, not a side dish. I would usually refer to them as ‘baking’ potatoes, rather than ‘baked’ potatoes.

[@daveofyorkshire301]

This is from his "Anger Management" routine. There are a few, the British rail sandwich is hilarious... He's Welsh, so his speech will be a little more rhythmic, kind of like Scottish, and he can pronounce those unpronounceable Welsh town names...

[@jrswinhoe58]

We get the potato with grated cheese in the middle and just stuff it in the oven

[@hadenough2005]

His torch sketch is great

[@gordonp6353]

Tesco attempted to break in the the USA market under the “Fresh & Easy“ name but it failed.

[@cjkvlt2295]

Definitely recommend his Tog rating rant 😂

[@Macca-zx7gz]

He means the raw potato. Its what we call the ones specifically for baking 😆 keep it simple lol They're sold in packs of 2 or 4. When years ago, even in supermarkets you'd have a grate of loose potatoes & you could just pick how many you want. Now everything is pre packaged. And it's a con. Cos the nicest looking potato could be packaged with a tiny sad potato. Then what? 🤷‍♀️ 😂😂😂😂

[@jrswinhoe58]

The file is a Anger Management course

[@punkpopnotdead]

Rhod gilbert Egg And Cress is so good as well

[@seanriley199]

Where can I find the Scotland and England tour videos? Still in the edit?

[@stevehartley7504]

Tesco= Walmart You can buy loose potatoes but baked potatoes tend to be larger and these are the ones that are portion sized Rhod just pronounced Rod He's Welsh so the rolling of the Rs is natural to the language

[@johnnyenglish33]

Rod. Rhod is the welsh spelling short for rhodri
