The definition of a guy with too much time on his hands! 😂

I would feel SO AWFUL trying to buy a Christmas or Birthday present for him! 😂 You'd just... never be able to beat or match his gift-giving abilities.

[@thatgirl9532]

⁠@@GIBBO4182you know what’s crazy is the fact he doesn’t have that much time really, I mean outside of his main work, hanging out with his fam, other friends and do some other work… Idk how they both manage to do so much outside the company whilst inside the company especially around this time… Ollie is the genius afterall 😂

[@suan333]

I don't understand how they are a thing, for real. Like I've never known someone who eats them (I'm from spain, usually i only see them in american, british and sometimes north europe dishes). I tried once and 🤢

That pretty much sounds like a plan a kid would have.

[@emilywynstra]

The story of how Ollie and his sister as kids ate their Brussels sprouts prior to the prayer in an act of passive aggressive defiance was HILARIOUS to me 🤣

[@hilarymol6607]

"...because the French famously had terrible food..." I've said it before and I'll say it again - protect Ollie at all costs! These are the best end-of-year videos, full stop. Happy Christmas, Jolly crew.

Josh's parents wanting signed copies of his books is the sweetest yet funniest thing I've heard! 😂❤

[@secretforreddit]

I wonder if they want Josh to sign them, or if they want Ollie to sign Josh's name...

@@secretforreddit given how these projects are made, I think the latter is the appropriate option.

The better question is if their parents wanted nothing to do with them. But wanting to help and be involved is actually natural. Not sweet nor funny lol

[@sukim3087]

you sound so depressing tbh

[@Wdlamb93]

While everyone wants to point out that they still watch this channel only because of Ollie, I wanna give Josh his flower for being so classy and kind. Also, Ollie is the funniest around him

[@rosscasey3352]

yeah those people don't know what theyre talking about. They work so well because they compliment the TOGETHER so well.

[@gracebrown3074]

Yeah I also think it’s because they have been making videos about a lot of American food, and personally I’m really not a big fan of American food. So Im not as interested in it the videos as much. Josh is so polite so he’s normally being very polite to the guests even if he doesn’t like the food, so I am mostly watching those videos only for Ollie’s humour and joshes responses to it 😂 but I don’t think either of them is better. I just can’t wait till they move on to a slightly different focus. Though I’m sure Americans have been enjoying seeing them react to their food.

[@gracebrown3074]

I can’t edit on what I am at the moment but it’s meant to be *Josh is so polite not too polite like it says

[@kelleedevore41]

For real. It takes both of them❤❤

[@SaberTooth_TFG]

Dude, what the hell-Ollie had a barrage of jokes for this episode! 😂

i was gonna comment that he always has but goinhg further in the video, you're absolutely right!

Ollie is so right about the bread. I've been to a lot of high end restaurants, and no matter what I think of all the courses thus far, there is always a bread course, and it's always magical. I fucking love bread.

[@Anil18834]
