Yorkshire Tea ad with Sir Patrick Stewart

[@rmkw4291]

His delivery of "And we're having a pint at the Dog and Trumpet after work" is so good.
Also the two chaps fistbump like *get in!* completes it.

[@cowpolk5763]

I love how the chair turning is simultaneously a nod to professor x and captain picard

[@garethwilkinson3456]

Sir Patrick Stewart is a Yorkshire man. And one of the best.

[@rahmij]

Never mind, we've all got our crosses to bear!

[@rikkilamb]

​@@rahmijnowt wrong with yorkajire. Could be worse, could be a southerner

[@GambitVil]

True! 🎉

[@G44ever]

I absolutely ADORE Patrick's voice and him saying my name TWICE in this ad is a total dream come true!! 😍😍😍

[@JoeyXSmith]

It's nice that Patrick Stewart goes into his Yorkshire accent near the end of his speech.

[@jackjebbett5282]

The best advert ever created. A symphony of angels in his voice.

[@Steve-gc5nt]

They've been gargling nails. He sounds like he's struggling to keep his dentures in. Sad.

[@JamieMckenzie07]

Professor X and Captain Picard himself. Brilliant to see Patrick Stewart in commercials. Brilliant actor. Loved the squeaky chair and also funny how he does the chair spin like Professor X does it in his chair. Brilliant ad.

[@tg__]

this is the only advert I have ever wanted to see twice

[@hendrikharter1291]

Sir Patrick's voice is so great. And the squeaky chair underlines the funny scenery.

[@sarfeastcaff]

And him slurping his tea 🤣

[@sarfeastcaff]

Now, THAT’S the sort of leaving speech I want when I retire next year.
I wonder if Sir Patrick’s available 🤔

[@Steve-gc5nt]

He seems to so anything these days so he probably is.

[@qasimmir7117]

I was hoping he would order his tea by saying ‘tea, earl grey, hot!’

[@Xandina1]

Greatest Shakespearian actor of his generation and I still got the star trek reference in.

[@greggstrasser5791]

What was that?

[@danielk5780]

This ad shows, that it is very helpful to have epic music play in the background while you're giving a speech.

[@daneb.mcfadhen9896]

He was always known for taking acting so seriously. Wonderful to see him embracing his funny side. This is hilarious.

[@Scammander6897]

Imagine quitting a job and then going to the pub with Patrick Stewart

[@biggedybiggedybong8032]

The voice! 👍👍👍

[@manegirl93416]

As someone who's recently lost her job, and it being a job I enjoyed, but had to be let go there due to many factors and they were really sorry to see me go and knowing that they cared... damn, this was emotional to hear. *wipes eyes* The speech hits all the right notes, at just the right time for me, even if I conside it a bit silly to get this emotional over a commercial. Like, I get it. It's a tea commercial, and just there to set up the punchline, but dammit it works. Perhaps not put nearly as eloquently and dramatically, but I just know that this is probably how my coworkers felt.

[@MartinMcAvoy]

I hope you are OK now.

[@greggstrasser5791]

I hope you’re better also. Let me know if you want to call and talk.

[@garethwilkinson3456]

Heartfelt and good to hear. Are you finished? No.

BRIAN BLESSED!

[@Mattheq]

Yes, he must be the next yorkshireman to do a tea advert

[@richardwaldron1684]

Having read his autobiography I now know he hails from the West Riding of Yorkshire, but that's the first time I've ever heard him speak with what must have been close to his original accent, before he went all RP for his acting

[@stephenjwright3960]

Yes, that was a nice touch. The West Riding is the best part of Yorkshire. My dad was born and bred in Castleford, as were all of my paternal aunt's, uncles and cousins (one of which was Viv Nicholson's third husband) and I have fond memories of times spent there in my youth. I have a bits of the accent myself, even though I was born down south.

[@samuelloots8893]

OMG! THIS IS SO GOOD WELL DONE LOZ!!!

[@Gaz-Man87]

I love this man.

[@ianputt2045]

I thought he only drinks Earl gray 🤣

[@Mattheq]

That's what that frenchman has

[@evertonporter7887]

Picard, "Tea, Yorkshire hot."
Computer, "That tea is not on the list of beverages."
Picard, "No problem. I'll show you how to make it."

[@Ericwvb2]

Captain Picard drinks Earl Grey. Patrick Stewart drinks Yorkshire Gold.

[@ianputt2045]

Are you sure it's yorkshire gold and not PG tips 😂

[@Ericwvb2]

@MsMissy Sorry I speak Murican.

[@masere]

Everytime he says "Tina" I think he's gonna say "Tea, Earl Grey, hot." He also says "Will", and there is one light!

[@michaellyne8773]

Love this advert.

[@AxelQC]

Patrick makes a tea publicity sound like Henry V.

[@melanierhianna]

No proper Yorkshire person would be seen drinking Earl Grey!

[@druunderwood5602]

Set course for the Dog & Trumpet, Lets get worm holed , Warp9 Engage!

[@michaelsmith697]

Yorkshire tea is the ONLY TEA WORTH DRINKING NOW!! Forget ALL the rest of them. They just don’t compare. The Yorkshire brand is about as close to what English tea used to taste like, but maybe still a little way to go. I use 2 bags in a cup sometimes THREE

[@dogsarefab]

This advert makes me stupid happy 😊😂

[@andrewmcnamara6305]

According to TV Tropes this would be an example of "Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping."

[@pov7853]

You know it's gonna make a good cuppa if it's had both sean bean and patrick stewart in the adverts

[@archstanton9528]

Fancy a brew? Make it so!

[@grahamhume5953]

Why is Captain Picard advertising Yorkshire tea? He drinks " Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."

[@wadebarnett2542]

I think the answer might be, "Money. Lots of it. Now."

Oh no😢 is it that bad? Haven't watched it yet..

[@BobBirdman]

Can anyone explain the ‘joke’ to an American, please? I saw someone say the whole speech was a ‘setup for the punchline’ but, if there is one. I don’t get it. If possible,try not to be too nasty… this question is born of ignorance, not stupidity. (And I’m a huge fan of Sir Patrick, X-men & esp ST TNG but I assume it’s a ‘British thing’, not a ‘Star Trek thing’. )

[@dvnam]

He's a classically trained actor who was born in Yorkshire - God's own county - where we have a particular accent (check out Sean Bean's accent) that he doesn't use when acting, as in the early part of the ad. The "Dog and Gun" and "there's a tab behind the bar" sees him lapse into a (sort of) Yorkshire accent - the tab behind the bar reference ties into Yorkshire folks' traditional carefulness with money. Hope that helps.

[@kermitthefrog3632]
