Better than Brad? I remade Brad Pitt's Coffee Commercial

You guys did great! Thank you for being apart of this delightful nonsense.

Hi, I know that was like a year ago but, I just wanted you to know that I am the guy that’s waving to the camera at minute 12:50 .You and your camera crew were one of the best memories I have about my trip to the Uk! It was so cool

[@weewee123456]

The way the barista blends the emotions of hurt and offended when he says "ok" after James asks for "Fresh coffee beans" is pure method acting.

[@ondank]

"turns out, if you do the paperwork and pay the fee, you can close a road" The way James said this made me feel fairly confident that this has spawned several ideas in James head.

[@marcpym5251]

The beans just carelessly being poured into the funnel and then lying around all over the counter followed by the ground coffee just sloppily sprinkled everywhere except for the filter completely killed me. Wonderful and hilarious take on the commercial. Watching your reaction first really helped identify some hidden jokes here, so I advise everyone to see that to :)

[@wynoglia]

Same xD Those scenes rly sent me

[@keithsheffield9154]

And after seeing the Bripe, it all made sense.

[@FlockeDerBoss]

[@andyalmq]

This was my favorite part. The whole thing was funny, but this made me LMAO.

[@ScarlettSandiego]

I'm a little late to the party here, but also... The little Bripe cameo! 🤣🤣🤣

[@bastronom4496]

The extaggeration of the bean throw and topping it with the filter scene made me laugh out loud. The bripe was not the cherry on the top it was a necessity.

[@thecatofnineswords]

James' evil expression when he lit up the butane torch was the true cherry.

[@mangamaster03]

Agreed! I just started laughing when the beans started to bounce all over the grinder. Pure chaos energy!

[@oneofuskruse1108]

Yes! Exactly when I spit out my coffee laughing!

[@karlkhansen]

...when asked to throw a coffee together...

[@linuxelf]

It was an amazing payoff to the Bripe being missing from the shelf in the last video. So damn good.

[@aspiringistari]

The moment you put the bripe up to your mouth I actually burst out laughing. Absolutely fantastic work! You should all be super proud. Bravo!

[@rolandschagen]

For me it was the casual pouring of coffee beans in the general direction of a grinder, doubled down by the repeat of pouring the grounds all over a coffee filter.

[@jooooocy]

The bripe got me as well 😂😂😍

[@Echinokaktus]

That was absolutely fantastic piece of comedy, 90% of moviemakers could learn from you about timing and delivery of both verbal and non-verbal humor. Pure gold.

[@michaelcook9258]

I hope Brad Pitt sees this and reaches out to make a third version of this. A mash up of the two would be amazing. The bripe was just the best finish to an awesomely funny video.

[@shantanukishwar6218]

Noob here, but could you explain how/why the pipe thing was funny. I get that it’s some kind of joke, just not one I’m in on 😢

[@kclombard7956]

@@shantanukishwar6218 might have been the pipe itself or, back in the day, Brad was known to love his "Mary Jane", so maybe a "jab" on that, and lastly, for all of the smokers out there (pipe, cigarette, or I guess, e-cig nowadays) if that's your thing, then a cup of Java and a smoke, is really one of the ultimate pleasures in life...interpret how you will! Cheers!

[@macmcleod1188]

@@shantanukishwar6218 The pipe thing is called a "bripe" (short for "brew pipe"). it is a pipe-like device that brews a half-cup of coffee. Mr. Hoffman did a video on the bripe a while back so the scene was a callback.

[@Brave_Lion]

Actually, this makes sense. Imagine that you have bought the coffee beans of your dreams. You are going home and in your mind you are already preparing it. At the gas station, someone offers you coffee from some unknown beans. It will be either bad coffee or good coffee, which will spoil or distort your taste experience of purchased coffee beans. P.s. In my personal experience, there is no really good coffee at gas stations. It will be "normal coffee" if you're lucky.

[@the-shork]

@@Brave_Lion you will get coffee that's been slowly burning on a hot plate for three hours and it'll taste awful but it'll keep you awake and that's what anyone buys gas station coffee for

[@gabelspitzer3819]

@@Brave_Lion whilst I agree that gas station coffee is probably not what you'd usually call "high quality coffee", but I don't think that the coffee is being served to him at the gas station in that clip, but during motorcycle maintenance: I'm pretty sure that the segment in question and James' refusal of the coffee is supposed to refer to James' commentary on the original advertisement. How strange it is that Brad lounges in a chair with a dissatisfied expression, not drinking coffee whilst his mechanic is drinking some. James takes this critique of Brad's implied 'snobbishness' to another level by outright refusing the coffee which has clearly been made for him, turning it down not with a thanking smile, but with a full-body denial.

"outdoor film's shoot nemesis: the British weather" I loved that.

It was fun! Also ties in really well with your previous reaction video, love the little refusal of the cup of coffee while the bike is being worked on, great nod there 😂 PS: As a former film maker I can attest that shooting anything outdoors is the primary nemesis of a director, great sound capture is an art, and good lighting is much harder to achieve than it looks.
