This guy is what Americans typically think of when imagining a British person
-
I'm fairly sure this guy's pajamas have a belt.
-
"you can't interupt someone's conversation unless the're on fire" that's the most British answer ever.
-
This guy speaks how I expected an etiquette expert to
-
deconstructing the burger is a federal crime in the states
-
"Ah yes they're from Austin Texas which explains so much" I'M DEAD LMAOOOO 💀😭
-
If guests are staying too long at your house party, the polite thing to do is to buy a second house, move there, and leave your house in the custody of your guests. If you can't do at least that, you have no business existing.
-
I feel more fancy than usual.
-
I came in expecting fancy boring And i got comedic genius
-
My grandpa's favorite way to get rid of houseguests was to say to my grandma, "Well dear, should we go to bed so these people can go home?" It always got a chuckle and the message across.
-
The indirect roasting and jokingly saying the heaviest words are precisely what I expect from etiquette experts. God I love the aura on this man.
-
"Excuse me, you're trousers are alit." 👖🔥
-
There are British accents, and then there are BRITISH ACCENTS
-
I’m the USA Midwest if you want someone to leave and you’re both sitting and talking you can slap the top of both your legs at once and say “welp” and start standing up.
-
The fact that he tells the lady "thank you" whenever she brings something is just the cherry on top
-
He definitely eats chocolate bars with a fork and knife.
-
🗣️ “If you are a user of earth then you need etiquette and manners NO ONE is exempt from those” 🔥🔥
-
For those who don't know, William Hanson has a brilliant podcast about etiquette and other things with his friend Jordan North who is a Radio Presenter, called Help! I Sexted My Boss. It is, by far, the funniest podcast out there. William is obviously very posh, and Jordan is very working class and they are clearly each other's Ride or Die. William seems stiff but he has a wicked sense of humor. Highly recommend.
-
I love how he says "If you are a user of earth; you need etiquette." implying interplanetary etiquette, just in case you're a user of mars with martian etiquette.
-
The hold the door situation is extremely specific and terribly relatable, both as the holder and the jogger 😆
