Barry and Stu, the energy and the deadpan.
You complement each other well.
A excellent collaboration
Thankyou
A excellent in joke
AN excellent illiteracy.
An excellent comment!
Tamzin Jones an excellent reply
we need more ashen
he's a busy chap but we have another coming up in January already filmed
Barry Lewis oh btw you need to do a tat video with ashens
DerpyRex POUNDLAND FOOD TAT!!
barron von boom get in fam!
barron von boom
That Poundland microwave pizza. :|
I have the feeling that is more dangerous than consuming 25 year old food. :P
"My curly wurly has gone soft and lost its girth".
Is it just me, or did the flat cap and soviet jacket suit Mr Ashens?
haha yeah it did, I was looking at the screen when he was putting it on
The hat made him look like Jacksepticeye in 15 years
That's not a flat cap, that's his heir lol
Da comrade
Ashens is secretly slav gopnik
As an air cadet you have no idea how happy I am to see Ashens salute like that,the latter action wasn't correct but the flat palm forward is correct
Both styles of saluting are used for different organizations.
Ashen's reminds me of a C&C Red Alert general for some reason.
The militant wing of Last of the Summer Wine is the best thing I have ever heard!
Yes! More of stuart and barry, a match made in heaven, or, on the internet, if your not that kind of person
lol thanks Jack
"I want to eat a pig's dreams"
Somehow, this is automatically my favourite quote ever.
Is it me or is Ashens impervious to aging
Foxlite He's only 38 in this video
AgentTasmania "only 38" he doesn't look close to 40
Looks more early 30's
hes got a baby face
There's a fake ipad in his basement with Ashen's elderly face on it.
If he looks at it, he reverts to his true age then crumbles to dust.
Here we have Ashens, who loves sarcasm and criticises everything.
On the other hand, Barry tries to use the most imaginative words to describe how good something is.
So, in case you guys are curious:
In America, Wotsits are Cheetos. Cheetos can be giant and poofy or small and crunchy.
Wagon Wheels are Moon Pies (although Moon Pies are noticeably larger and, again, come in different varieties such as vanilla and strawberry).
We don't have anything equal to Caramac, surprisingly.
Dipdab is called FunDip and instead of a lolly, comes with a stick of pure sugar.
Maltesers are called Whoppers.
Also in America we have (or used to have, not sure if they're a thing anymore) something called Nerds Rope which was basically a long gummy rope covered in Nerds.
Nerds Ropes definitely still exist. Everything Wonka is sugary, tangy, goodness.
Honestly that dibdab was just wrong. Please disregard it's existence in this video.
We do get Cheetos here, though they seem to usually be Polish imports.
(I remember Cheetos being in Spain too)
If i remember right, those Moon Pies also came in chocolate and banana flavors too.
There's a reason for the newer style Watsits.
*They have been baked*
The ones you guys are most fond of were the original *fried* Watsits.
Nice to see you both enjoying yourself so. Thanks for putting another smile on my face.
No worries
My friend once inhaled Dib Dab sherbert like cocaine.
He started seeing stars in our local chippy, 5 minutes later.
my friend once did that with cocaine.
Thanks for the laugh :)
Hi
Even freshly made wagon wheels taste stale. It's one of life's mysteries.
Can't go off if they're off already! Pre-aged.
It seems that a Moon Pie (in the US) is basically a Wagon Wheel formulated to never go stale by virtue of being that exact balance point between cake and biscuit - can't go harder or softer.
Ashens somehow reminds me of the sane version of John Simms's Master character. Funnily enough, Ashens has some bit of seemingly delicious, villainous nuances and looks (which of course isn't true) who mirrors closer to the classic Master incarnations than John's.
oh my goodness stuart looks SO GOOD in this video i hope he stole the jacket haha.
I love the adult humor innuendos, Barry does that on his regular video's too, hilarious!
Can we get a .gif of Ashens just sucking on that lollipop? The way he does it with so much gusto is hilarious.
Ashen needs to be in every TH-cam Channel ever created
I'm far from old, but I still like Werthers candy since I was a kid. Good stuff.
I love the close up of the Caramel bar where its sitting on top of a hair.
Wagon wheels remind me of an American snack called Moon Pies. I remember they used to sell them in the elementary school cafeteria.
The two are very different. Moon pies are a lot more softer, and more thicker than wagon wheels
I prefer moon pies :)
That's actually Soviet Army chemical corps. private's dress/furlough uniform jacket.
The lack of any rank indication at all on the shoulder tabs say it's a private's jacket. The red shoulder tab and "СА" (abbreviation of "Советская Армия", i.e. Sovietskaya Armiya) say it's Soviet Army. The sleeve badge is for the Chemical Troops. And the the jacket design is that for the dress uniform/furlough uniform.
Ashen(s) is so adorable^^ I love your vids, and ashens vids, both=perfection😍
The nostalgic Dib Dab's (not the ones you had here) are DEFINITELY still made in their original form, as I had one last week
Stuart looks like he's about to revive his nation's economy.
He would fit well in a Red Alert cutscene.
slashingraven
Lol, true.
Wow, really grateful you guys did this video. I used to live in England (grew up there) and watching this video really brought a warmth of nostalgia over me. A lot of the packaging's have changed since i last had them haha.
"Shaun! Hog lumps!"
You win
CheekyNandos I always win.
SeriouslyMikey ij
I adore seeing you two work together! I was a little surprised you play so nicely with his humour being so dry and yours being... You :P But it works! It's charming and so full of character and fun to watch (as always).
I'm sure you've been told you resemble a living cartoon character when you're doing your bit... And I hope it lasts us a long time. Thanks for doing whacha do.
You two are what would happen if Simon pegg and nick frost made a youtube channel
A builder and a soviet general. Ashens brings so much to this channel....
I can't let this idea that malteasers have honeycomb in them slide. They have malt in them. God!
Inorite? Hence the name, MALTesers!
Yep sorry totally malt
Barry Lewis Our malteasers are called whoppers, and have slightly lower quality chocolate, but better and more malt.
Strange thing is that a lot of the boxes (especially the old ones) used to say that it was honeycomb inside, despite it being malt.
ThePedanticReviewer Honeycomb texture, like in your bones.
You are watching two men eat food
I AM WATCHING TWO MEN EAT FOOD
WHY IS IT ENJOYABLE
"mine's bent"
"it didn't use to be so soft"
+Patho loge i can hear that echoing through my head from remembrance of my older years.
Here in America, we have something like the Mr. Porky and it's called Pork Rinds.
CARAMAC = CARAmel + MACintosh (The original manufacturer)
Curly Wurly's have been out since at least the early seventies
And I'm sure Wurthers Originals are an American treat
no, first off. it's werthers original. It is named after the village it was first created in which is located in Germany. They are 100% not american.
You two should so have your own TV programme! Prime time viewing! You're the best :D xx.
Ashes dance moves have made my night
You know, Ashens makes a great Soviet officer!
I watched both of you separately then I saw you had collabs. OMG best collabs ever.
Is it just me or does Ashens kinda look like Simon Pegg from Shawn of the Dead?
+Bethany Bland Everyone who knows Simon Pegg says that.
yeah I didn't notice that untill I had already posted it
+Mr. Ixolite ahhh what a brilliant show, im gonna watch is again for the 5th time lol :p
+Bethany Bland I think he looks more like Sheldon Cooper
+Bethany Bland I think he has much more of an air of a young Paul Verlaine.
In America, we have Cadbury Creme Eggs. When they first came out, they were the size of actual hen's eggs, but they've since shrank and became more expensive
I actually like salt and shake without the salt!
"Pork lumps" someone Call 999 I'm dying over here from laughter
Ashens looks like a weird composite dude comprised of Jude Law and Ricky Schroeder with the voice of Jack Davenport. :)
The problem with curly wurlys for me was that I couldn't keep in the fridge as they froze way too quickly so you ended up with a crumbly frozen chocolate bar with holes in it. So instead of putting them in the fridge and waiting until I was ready for it. I had to literally take it out an hour before I was ready or thought I was ready and by then it was either melted and went in the bin or it was still hard and had to be eaten. So instead I bought chomps.
We had CurlyWurly bars in the states as a kid, but they were called Marathon Bars.
We had something called a Marathon bar in the UK but in about 1990 they changed the name to it's US name Snickers. People old enough to remember Marathon still hate the name change because Snickers means nothing.
YAY! Another video with Ashens. I love Caramac bars so lucky for me I can get them in my local pound land!
Loved caramac!
Yay ASSHHEEENNNSS :D
Yep yep!
Have you ever thought of a American snacks vs. British snacks video? Like Wagon Wheels vs. Moon Pies or Dib Dabs vs. Lik- A- Stix?
TWINKIIIIIES!
We have the dark chocolate Maltesers here in Australia. I have a bag here now, to snack on tonight while I watch a movie.
here in the US we've got a candy called 'baby bottle pops' that is similar to dipdabs
renember fun dips
dabs
I think they sold those over here too, at least for a period in the 90's. They'd always be on the shelf near the push-pops.
I think this should be a thing. Every so often a wee collab with Ashens. You can do it Barry ! Invite his friggin head off lol
Be cool right
You two are a video match made in youtube heaven!
Thanks Ewan
IKR
Barry and Ashens make a hell of a duo!
Great stuff here guys, you got me all nostalgic!
:-)
In the US in the 80s Curly Wurly was longer, wider and called Marathon bars. They were awesome.
ashens
Top chap
You guys need to do a world tour. Not just eating food from around the World But An Actual World Tour. Food, Culture, Cheap Shops etc etc etc.
Came for Barry, stayed for Ashens
coooool
Barry Lewis OMG you replied, I feel like I just got a letter from the Queen xDD
I love how the UK TH-cam space looks like an old school drama room, and the US LA TH-cam space is some kind of haven of polished steel and glass wonderspace.
Ashens looks like he in an army against poundland tat
i remember these sweets from way back.loved nerds cos you had 3 different holes in the box which compartmentalized them.
i used to get them all the time from the local newsagent, round the corner from my granddads, would have been circa 1991 (Cheshire England). used to spend every Friday night over at my Nan and granddads growing up. used to go round to the newsagents with my granddad and buy nerds, opal fruits and the like and head back i would play mariokart on my SNES which i always brought with me from home and play it on a tiny black and white CRT TV my grandparents had upstairs. then watching knightmare, the crystal maze, you bet,noels house party or whatever on tv and my grandad used to let me stay up and watch red dwarf and the late night film ( i remember watching "communion" with chrisopher walken and it grabbed my imagination big time :-3). sweet sweet memories. anyhow. you could get nerds back then at least in my neck of the woods. god thinking about this is bringing back memories, there were the computer games shows like gamesmaster and bad influence.i can remember them hyping the megacd addon for the sega mega drive and basically saying that the graphics will be indistinguishable from reality. hmmmmm. pretty exiting claim to lay on an 8 year old but still....sigh...
You need to go on Saturday kitchen or have your own show on Good Food!
One day eh would be nice! But prefer TH-cam
I can actually purchase Caramacs here in the states. Where I live we have a grocery store called Wegmans, and they have a UK section in the foreign isles (International isles, as they have been renamed to sometime in the last decade or so). Caramac is among the offerings.
We have a similar type of thing in Tesco in the UK (at least in my local one). There's an isle end dedicated to American stuff and parts of isles for Asian and Polish stuff
I loved un-slated crisps or un-flavoured
Free14nder Same they're nice
Guys... there is a Guinness world record for Maltesers blowing.
Jam wagon wheels > regular wagon wheels
gotta agree
I don't like any wagon wheels...
jam wagon wheels are to be put in the same level of hell as jam teacakes
I come back here for the nostalgia. RIP caramac.
damnit I'm craving pork scratchings now.
Why does Barry act like everything he eats is the most amazing thing ever
It really is unbelievable how much he looks like Simon Pegg
Barry x Ashens make the best tasting team.
I'm amazed they did not try a 'Finger of Fudge'
Will you ever do Icelandic foods?
Congratulations Barry, 9 minutes in and you've already earned another subscriber!
You would think the sound quality would be better at TH-cam space...
yeah ikr, I can't stand it
oceanic koala Very slight echo, END OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I as a kid loved Caramac. still sell them now in Holland. And still love to eat it every now and then.
my great great nan married the man who made the wagon wheel
Joe Bowditch Mr Weston, eh?
yeah lol
Re the seasoning, if anybody remembers philleas fogg tortilla chips: get some plain tortilla chips, shake in garlic powder, chilli powder, paprika powder and black pepper and then shake the bag violently. You're very welcome.
Ashens looks a lot like a real soviet officer.
My cats sleeping next to me and she really looked up at the rubber chicken squeak haha.
I was Just watching ashens Not Lego Advent Thingy YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome
You should do more of the series with ashens
We do get on well, there is another already filmed in January and sure we can hopefully sort something out for sure
Yes!!!
Barry Lewis convince (or trick) him to try Suurstömming :-P
i have been watching your channel and ashens channel for the last month and love them, i have been posting my own videos for the last few months and am enjoying watching these ones for the comedy and cultural values :) thank you for posting these amazing videos :)
I can't speak for America, but in Canada Curly Wurly is called Wig Wam, which is a much stupider name.
Jprime777 wig wam bam
Jprime777 also over hear a curly wurly is slang for public hairs
I read somewhere (I think it may have been in SFX magazine) that when they made the TV show _Life On Mars_ they had a scene where they were eating Curly-Wurlys, using original wrappers from 1973 (borrowed from a collector) and 2006 Curly-wurly bars. It was apparent how much smaller the new bars were in comparison to the old wrappers.
I hate cheese but I absolutely love wotsits and I haven't a clue why
CheekyNandos MSG ?
+CheekyNandos I'm the opposite. I seriously love cheese. I could eat a dish of it. But I hate things like Quavers and Wotsits.
Cheese sauce is nasty stuff too.
This just reminded me they used to make white maltesers. I loved them, but I've not seen them in years :(
Are you going to buy an external microphone any time soon?
Other than that, I do like your videos, very entertaining! :D
yes I have a new mic to try out in the new setup
Awesome! :D
Barry Lewis And just get some soft surfaces on a decent portion of the walls/floors/etc in the new studio to reduce echos.
What they used it for? Clearly a Monty Python sketch.
Drive stronk tank for mother Russia comrade
GGGamr73 TMC tenk*
I'm surprised Barry and Stuart didn't try Burtons Fish 'n' Chips which were recently brought back. Those Fish 'n' Chips are the best of nostalgic snacks!
Are pork scratchings like pork rinds?
z beeblebrox virtually identical
Yes, usually covered in E621 = MSG unfortunately.
Yay! Another ashens collab, also they still do the salt and shake. I always see them
very disappointed not to see milk bottles, penny sweets or freddos.
even sherbert fountains or weirdz.
Freddos probably cost about £20 now
Andrew Sutton
Freddos are British?
As an Australian, that would just about obliterate the national identity of my childhood if true.
AgentTasmania Yeah, as far as I know
off to Google we go!
AgentTasmania ok so it was made in Australia in 1930 and later sold to Cadbury in 1967
who would have thought eh?
Andrew Sutton Lovely. Also: Wagon Wheels where Australian first.
you two are hilarious together, I demand more of these
Jammy Wagon Wheels are better, Just saying!!!
Love these collaborations of yours! Keep it up, guys!
Thanks
