James' Ice Cream Debt

1. Penelope is frickin' adorable. "I hope they have my favorite flavor: CHAWCLATE!" 2. This is the first video when I realized how much older (in a good way!) LRR has become. No more gorky tweens,they're now actual adults. Amazing.

[@charlesslaton5924]

That was adorable. Yeah, having a small kid is so many moments like that. They get so excited about stuff it's great.

I realize it probably isn't practical if even possible but MAN this would have been even better if somehow James just showed up literally driving the Ice Cream truck. At first I almost thought James was going to somehow rent a truck and personally drive the Ice Cream truck to each person's house. Not that this wasn't already fantastic.

[@KingTaltia]

I love how "James' Ice Cream Debt" is both incredibly ominious, and COMPLETELY normal for LRR. You can call James many things, but "not a man of his word" is NEVER one of them. P.S. I'm fairly certain now that this is something James knows he can do, this wont be the last time that ice cream truck sees patronage from James.

[@kyranthewalker9095]

Nope I refuse to believe that Penelope is that big now. It feels like just a few years ago she was the bin baby.

[@arturoreyes2119]

Yeah, that bit of dissonance hits hard. Like you hear the off-screen voice and you wonder for a moment who it is before the pieces all click together and it's just "Wait, that's Penelope!"

[@EternalDensity]

"Golden Graham" Also I'm so used to all of LRR sounding like themselves, but Penelope's accent took me by surprise. My brain is dumb like that sometimes.

[@TehFrenchy29]

Even as a Canadian myself (living not far from the LRR crew either) and having been watching their stuff for years so I'm really used to all of them -- Penelope has a very particular blend of "LRRsman", "Canadian" and "actual literal child" that is weird and unfamiliar. Most of that probably because COVID happened over kind of a huge growth spurt for her and my mental image of Penelope is still a much shorter girl in stream highlights or the "prop" baby from commodoreHustle.

[@inajar7947]

Penelope: "I hope he has my favorite flavor... chocolate!" Also Penelope, weeks later: "I got the cotton candy flavor!" aaahhhh, kids.

[@georgehugh1]

Man your ice cream trucks in Canada are so clean and fancy. The ice cream trucks in the UK are typically kinda grimy and all the ice cream stickers on the glass are haphazardly arranged like a stereotypical well traveled suitcase.
