"Welcome to Canteen Sacred Abundance, my name is Basil" incredible writing

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

"I'm here to guide you through your sustenance journey" 💀💀💀

[@james.telfer]

"Basil like the herb, or the idiot owner of Fawlty Towers?" 😆

[@galamander_1327]

I love how he floated away backwards every time.

[@styingweird9052]

In LA it's always some sort of grammatically incorrect spelling of a child's name, i.e., Basyl, Bayzel, Basile, ect.

[@cocoavideos]

@@galamander_1327 I noticed that too, it was funny

[@danieladams1752]

I lived in California for a couple years and this one time I asked a girl how old she was. She replied, “my spirit and my essence are eternal”. So I countered, “Ok, how long has your physical presence been here upon this earth?” She looked at me, stunned, and said “Damn no one’s ever gotten me with that before. I’m 22.”

[@clydenolet736]

Most people just walk away 😅

[@lincolnlane6763]

I love Nikki's facial expressions the most 😂😂😂

[@mllejessful]

Haha, this is basically Cafe Gratitude if youre visiting LA and want to experience the hilariousness.

[@jricherts99]

no thanks !

[@Blashmack]

Hey thanks for the reference ! I'll look that place up

[@Blashmack]

Oh God it's exactly what I thought it would be !

[@foodiusmaximus]

Yup yup! Hella expensive, pretentious as fuck…and actually delicious.

[@brian.westersauce]

There we go I was looking for the Cafe Gratitude comment, was dearly hoping I wouldn’t be the first

[@179cpv]

“F*** LA.” My sentiments exactly and I live there. As usual, Nikki’s facial expressions make the video 👍.

[@MR-nl8xr]

I think restaurant business' in Southern California need to be part of the "price gauging" investigation going on, because they swear they put gold in their food with these F ing prices!!!

[@j0shuais]

also B*** LA! B*** LA! XD .... Go PADRES!

[@ThePsychicFish]

Fuck L.A., good scHoolboy Q song

[@philippebarillecavalier9275]

My LA experience was roughly drive three hours to go somewhere, then spend two hours looking for parking.

[@nomadben]

They have perfect weather and a ton of money, and yet they chose to build the biggest car-dependent asphalt wasteland in the world

[@Jordan-vc4cn]

Consistently one of the best comedic actors on the platform. Underrated is an understatement.

[@scarter9876]

agree, for sure

[@abhijitb1]

Throwing hilarious shade on Cafe Gratitude. Love it!

[@dullmyhead]

Thanks for pointing out that's a real restaurant, their menus are ridiculous. "I AM MYSTICAL" "YO SOY MUCHO" "I AM CRINGING HARD"

[@foodiusmaximus]

I think that was actually a shot of their menu

[@BoogieBoogsForever]

at

[@cjbaker9703]

Lol I was in LA had lunch at some trendy place. My burger was $54

[@fongh4108]

The backward walk omg AHAH

[@MR-nl8xr]

"this morrow" >.

[@UniteChopRise]

76$ is so accurate 😂😂

[@mosatsoni4324]

"I am soiled" killed me

[@bpregont]

"Fuck LA, lets go to Chili's" I am in tune with her spiritual vibrations.

[@owenchang2290]

1:55-1:59 when the drinks disappear and reappear; that's what the $76 was for lol. I'm from LA and this made my day! 😂

[@ChrisLee-yr7tz]

I love the way Brent retreated each time. Hilarious.

[@overkillblackjack2910]

It looked like the waiter was rolled away from the table each time he left. 😄

[@duhni4551]

Nah, it was just his source that didn't vibrate in aligment with gravity 😁

[@spokenwordpoetries]

There's definitely a huge difference living in LA as a So Cal native versus a transplant. Haha!!! Great skit.

[@styingweird9052]

My aunt and her close friend left Philly for LA about 35yrs ago. My grandparents and I went down to visit shortly after. At 6yrs old I remembered feeling like it really was a different world... 8yrs later I went to see her, my cousin, & my uncle who both were blooming architects at the time & living in the hills. Point being, this is a very accurate depiction of the transformation of everyone that stays.

[@BetterLifeAhead35]

Acting like this is what defines LA is like acting like DC is all politicians

[@arindamghatak]

Atleast finish the drinks before leaving. It is $76.

[@overkillblackjack2910]

I dont think they paid.

[@Ocker3]

I came here to say this!

[@MrTPF1]

Man, when the waiter showed up, I just died!! 😂😂

[@Shadow_Banned_Conservative]

I moved away from L.A. more than 15 years ago, best decision of my life!

[@McKamikazeHighlander]

"The only thing that guy's going to lead us into is a K hole" lmao!!!

[@yankinwaoz]

I had look what 'K hole" means.

[@tomstiel7576]

Basil still lives in grandmas basement

[@BJ-vl2vz]

Nikki's expressions are too good

[@AJ-xm4xc]

“forgiveth my friend” 😂😂😂

[@NovisM]

That's why LA sits above the San Andreas fault

[@nikamarie3000]

Technically, to the left of the San Andreas fault. But there are plenty of other faults in LA. Namaste

[@archstanton664]

So, talk like the people in the capitol from The Hunger Games. 😂

[@ReginaldKSon]

The float away game was tight. 🙂

[@bradh431]

My name is Basil...Dead💀

[@05assahse]

Nikki's facial expressions can't amiss 😂

[@MR-nl8xr]

" yea that's right!! she supports big pharma!!"

[@derekczerkaski5540]

You are my new favorite sketch comedian! Your facial expressions and tone add soooo much to the skits. This skit hit too close to home; I feel like everyone I know who has ever moved to LA went through this exact experience :D

[@rustytanks]

That man bun broke me 🤣

[@meem0h]

Outstanding! What writing! Superb! And the performances are top-notch! 🌟

[@45coopaloop]

Top notch stuff Nikki :) Keep it up!

[@santidelara]

Nikki!!! Love your videos, your comedy and content! You make me laugh and brighten my week. Much love! 😊

[@scarter9876]

Brutal truth in this comedy - thanks for putting this out there.

[@1monarara]

Totally reminds me of how relieved I am that I left there a few years ago!!!

[@kaneo67]

I am laughing so much.This is actually as funny as "When Friends Give Dating Advice" which i have watched about 20 times

[@bakerman10]

Yay Chili's!

[@JavonCarterTV]

"Civil War Hippie" 💀💀💀

[@stepheng1523]

The only thing that guys going to lead us into is a k hole

[@SaultoPaul]

Shit Brent ! That was fkn awesome! Love y’all’s skits!! ❤😂. I envision a TV skit comedy show with you guys and the Cherdleys bunch +Amanda McCants !! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@JW99736]

I didn’t know LA had a Cafe Gratitude! 😂. I can recall a time I sat in ye olde Berkeley Cafe Gratitude and said those menu item names as if my future depended on it. 😂😂😂 (So embarrassed to admit that!!). Very well done.

[@andreinybakken9252]

Welcome to the eatery of culinary enchantment, which jouurney shall thy palet embark upon this glorious day😂

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

I ate there once with my girlfriend. Our waiter was Thyme. He recommended the Chiken. Not bad...tasted like Chicken. Lunch for the two of us was $320, pretty reasonable for L.A.

[@duhni4551]

320 for lunch is not reasonable in any place in the world 😂

[@rbrought]

@@duhni4551 for gold-wrapped borderline-extinction animals served with some exotic plants made by a well-known chef with the whole meal only weighing 4 oz (but it has fancy sauces in a wavy pattern) is a bargain. I mean who wouldn't want to pay that price for such a meal. Lol

[@duhni4551]

[@JH-in5oq]

This only applies to a handful of neighborhoods. We call them the “transplant” neighborhoods. Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Studio City etc. There’s a few more but they’re the neighborhoods all of these out of town aspiring social media influencers move to. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone from Santa Monica that actually grew up there. If you come to LA and want to see what actual LA people are like stay away from these “Hollywood” type areas. Hollywood a derogatory term we use to describe someone that’s the typical LA stereotype. When you go to the beach go to the cities south of LAX like Redondo Beach or Torrance.

[@emjay6958]

Shut up and sit down 😂 Love that stuff❤❤

[@chainreaction1703]

We need to start having a conversation about Nikki's uncle.

[@bradleyasztalos6650]

Cafe Gratitude ... in Berkeley. Felt the same way, although frankly the food was pretty good.

[@jonesq63]

That was really well done. I do not know how the three of them did not crack up

[@bskiez]

This is so accurate it's even expensive in Alaska due to shipping and no I do not live there.

[@nicholashartmann4525]

EXCEPT FOR 'KOOMIN' 😂😂😂

[@jaimeortega4940]

Yup it's been a while since my last LA trip, perhaps I'll visit again - and then leave. Sounds crazier than ever- good ole' bat shit crazy LA never disappoints. You're still my favorite nut Nikki! Love your content!

As a person named Basil and wears a man (lower) bun, I feel attacked 😂😂

[@ericnelius9062]

LA; a magical place rent is 2$ a square feet( if your lucky), you pay for parking, and give a 20% tip not because you "need" to

LA is insanely expensive and that's l what visitors need to know foremost. Also the level of frustration found in LA is through the roof, and most likely place to encounter that frustration are the roads.

The only time I have ever walked out on a meal was in LA. Two sushi rolls and two beers, over $75.
