1. Penelope is frickin' adorable. "I hope they have my favorite flavor: CHAWCLATE!" 2. This is the first video when I realized how much older (in a good way!) LRR has become. No more gorky tweens,they're now actual adults. Amazing.
As a fan of unambiguous advertising, I must give credit to The Ice Cream Truck. No one has ever seen an ad from them and gone “I wonder which business they’re in”.
My old local ice cream shop was named the "Twistee Cream". Almost as if they had bever heard of Krispee Cream.... We also had one named "Tasty Treat". Just imagine asking a new friend if they wanted to meet you at the Tasty Treat. 😆
I realize it probably isn't practical if even possible but MAN this would have been even better if somehow James just showed up literally driving the Ice Cream truck. At first I almost thought James was going to somehow rent a truck and personally drive the Ice Cream truck to each person's house. Not that this wasn't already fantastic.
I love how "James' Ice Cream Debt" is both incredibly ominious, and COMPLETELY normal for LRR. You can call James many things, but "not a man of his word" is NEVER one of them. P.S. I'm fairly certain now that this is something James knows he can do, this wont be the last time that ice cream truck sees patronage from James.
I'm currently away from my kids for a number of months for work, and hearing Penelope talk made me miss them pretty hard. Also this was a great heartwarming thing to just see LRR relaxing a getting some ice cream. You guys are great.
Guidelines are different everywhere, I think we’re all assuming that the local rules are Good Rules, and no doubt you are following all appropriate guidelines. No questions here!
@@GrahamStarkVlogs Please all of you remain safe, follow guidelines, and, most importantly, go at a pace that you all are comfortable. I can't wait to see LRL back from the moonbase, but only when people are not only safe to do so but comfortable with it. And hoping to see more Gvlogs, circumstances allowing.
I just loved seeing all the members slowly coming into frame and enjoying some icecream together. :) Well done James, and thanks Graham for filming it :)
@@jackielinde7568 Well it isn't called the icecream truck budget, so clearly james plans on having the Annual MTG arena tournament to have 2 tarps instead of 1 this year :P
This was delightful, hearing so many folks laughing and happy (and still being safe) warms my heart. Thank you James for putting this together and thank you Graham for sharing it.
@@Luteloots Very much this. I was who's this person talking about their favorite flavor. No, wait... Really? TIme does go one in quite a quick fashion.
"Golden Graham" Also I'm so used to all of LRR sounding like themselves, but Penelope's accent took me by surprise. My brain is dumb like that sometimes.
Even as a Canadian myself (living not far from the LRR crew either) and having been watching their stuff for years so I'm really used to all of them -- Penelope has a very particular blend of "LRRsman", "Canadian" and "actual literal child" that is weird and unfamiliar. Most of that probably because COVID happened over kind of a huge growth spurt for her and my mental image of Penelope is still a much shorter girl in stream highlights or the "prop" baby from commodoreHustle.
"It is now the future" says G, very clearly addressing us from the past. Isn't time just such a wonderful thing. Also Graham a Golden you is just "a you".
Yeah, that bit of dissonance hits hard. Like you hear the off-screen voice and you wonder for a moment who it is before the pieces all click together and it's just "Wait, that's Penelope!"
As soon as I saw the Golden Graham I thought, "oh, he HAS to get one of those! Or is that a bad joke?" And you did! And it wasn't! This was a nice treat, thanks for the upload!
This was an adorable video. Big props to James for calling in the ice cream truck for this, it looks like the whole lrr crew had a nice time. Also big props to you for ordering the Golden Graham because he knew we would throw a fit if he didnt.
I think the song you were trying to identify is, “She’ll be coming around the mountain when she comes she’ll be coming around the mountain when she comes!”
That first song is the exact same one that plays on the truck that goes around my neighborhood including the "hello" and it's a surreal experience to hear it elsewhere.
Anyone who is gonna try and troll and say that y'all aren't following local rules is not paying attention and needs to be quiet. It's good to see you all together :) Also this is a baller move by James :D
"A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to [ice cream] in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid." - Tyrion Lannister
Ok, honesty moment, seeing you all together again made me excited. Your vlogs have helped me through a lot of dark things in my life and I've been missing them a lot. Thank you for this, as simple of a gesture as that may be.
I love this so much. The sending of a physical invite was a fantastic touch, well done James. Omg that ice cream truck music is wild! Thank you for sharing.
Pretty awesome work James. Also, wow, Penelope has grown. I think the last thing I saw her in, full sentences had yet to be mastered. And now she speaks with Graham inflections. 😆
Thank you for sharing this experience. I love these types of videos, much like the annual beer fest you all go to. Makes me wish i had a larger social network.
It's sad to see they didn't have the absolute classic that was the Choco Taco or any of those cake-piece-coated bars, but this was still an extremely wholesome thing to see on this warm day. Hope everyone enjoyed their ice cream!
I think chocolate tacos are just an America thing. I'm from Britain and have been to a lot more seaside towns than I haven't and I don't think I've ever seen a chocolate icecream tacos. Might have seen a couple pop up over the past few years, but that's about it
60% of the comment section of this video: "PENELOPE IS SO BIG!" Me: "I see we have a fair amount of people here today that haven't seen the May G-Log."
Sometimes I wish I could get an icecream van and retool it to serve people scoops of hot mashed potatoes. Maybe serve it banana split style with a couple sausages and a cherry tomato on top. It looks like you had a good day. And I learned you can offer an ice cream truck money to visit specific locations!
At the end when the ice cream truck rolls away and Graham pans the camera up to the sky, i can just faintly hear Homestar Runner saying "So long, Baloneyman!"
Where I live (Hamburg, Germany), ice cream trucks don't play music (they use a bell), but they serve Italian-style ice cream cones or sundaes (which is a word I had to look up). I was a bit surprised it's not the same over yonder.
Watching this made me feel happy and sad. Like the time I went to my LGS and seeing the workers that are basically friends at this point, and realizing that I haven't seen them in person for at least a year. I bet it's the same for you looking at them and thinking "oh yeah. These people have feet."
I have never heard Penelope speak before, and it's astoundingly bizarre, because I was definitely still thinking of her as that baby that was put in a drawer in that episode of commodore hustle.
How wholesome and lovely to see everyone together, and your daughter is simply adorable! It has been such an honor and a pleasure to continue following you all these years from my youth into my adulthood. LRR4EVER
Man your ice cream trucks in Canada are so clean and fancy. The ice cream trucks in the UK are typically kinda grimy and all the ice cream stickers on the glass are haphazardly arranged like a stereotypical well traveled suitcase. Plus the music is usually some very creepy womp wooing of Pop Goes the Weasel or something and nothing else. NGL there's something kinda charming about the haphazard stickers and the creepy music though... It's also nice to see Penelope.

more and more (also some of those people are obviously not part of LRR, since partners and such)
James is basically LRR dad.

The pure joy in Serge's voice made me smile

There is a place in Calgary called My Favourite Little Ice Cream shop. We regularly troll newcomers with the name
My old local ice cream shop was named the "Twistee Cream". Almost as if they had bever heard of Krispee Cream....
We also had one named "Tasty Treat". Just imagine asking a new friend if they wanted to meet you at the Tasty Treat. 😆
Penelope is so big and her voice is so cute and enthusiastic AAAAAAAAA
gotta get her to say tomato again lol
So when does she get to see the episodes of Commodore Hustle when she was a baby?
the very tiny "can I see?" made me squeak a lil, ngl
I realize it probably isn't practical if even possible but MAN this would have been even better if somehow James just showed up literally driving the Ice Cream truck. At first I almost thought James was going to somehow rent a truck and personally drive the Ice Cream truck to each person's house.
Not that this wasn't already fantastic.
Like this will be his last time with ice cream debt. Gotta leave room for level uppage.

It always shocks me how much bigger Penelope is every time she shows up.
This! 👆 She's always a delight when she cameos in a video 😊
I heard her, and was like " That's not Kathleen."
She doesn't sound British anymore.
I know! My brain keeps insisting she's still a toddler, but no. She's TALKING! In complete sentences!

It scares me that Penelope is now old enough to consent to being in these videos. I have been following your work for longer than she has been alive.
Same. I was all like "wait who is that? That can't be Penelope, she was just born....oh wow has it really been that long?"
@@Luteloots what do you mean there is a grown child in these videos? They only found the baby in the prop room like last year, right? Right?

Am I the only one who’s just a TEENSY bit disappointed that there was no dilly bar tarp fight?
Try to get them to make that a new option?
I guess so, because I'm VERY MUCH disappointed that didn't happen. ;-p

Nope I refuse to believe that Penelope is that big now. It feels like just a few years ago she was the bin baby.
Yeah, that bit of dissonance hits hard. Like you hear the off-screen voice and you wonder for a moment who it is before the pieces all click together and it's just "Wait, that's Penelope!"
James has set the bar very high for repaying ice cream debts.
Seeing the current state of the world, I don't think James could have rented out an ice cream store (Thanks, 'Rona!), so this is a good alternative.
He's set the bar very high. The dilly bar that is...
...oh is that the time? I'll see myself out. lol
teared up a little at the end, watching the ice cream truck return to the wild. Nature is a beautiful thing.
G-Vlog is best vlog. Also thrilled to see the return of the Field House Brewing hat.
How has it never been named a Glog yet?
As soon as I saw the Golden Graham I thought, "oh, he HAS to get one of those! Or is that a bad joke?"
And you did! And it wasn't!
This was a nice treat, thanks for the upload!
Ian's car is perhaps the most Ian of all automobiles ever made.
The Dairy Debt Has Been PAID!!! But really, it was wonderful to see the crew and loved ones hanging out. James really did it up right.
This was an adorable video. Big props to James for calling in the ice cream truck for this, it looks like the whole lrr crew had a nice time. Also big props to you for ordering the Golden Graham because he knew we would throw a fit if he didnt.
Keying out that tree at the end feels like a bit of a flex, not gonna lie. Glad to see you all having fun!
Everytime something gets posted on this channel it's always just such wholesome goodness. It's wonderful.
July 10 was my birthday so I’m going to pretend this was also a birthday party for me. Thanks, James, for such a wonderful birthday party.
I think the song you were trying to identify is, “She’ll be coming around the mountain when she comes she’ll be coming around the mountain when she comes!”
That was very sweet of James. Everyone got to have their ice cream, but also got to see people they haven't seen in months.
Also, they could choose whatever flavor they wanted! That’s a strict upgrade from the DB2017 ice cream challenge.
That first song is the exact same one that plays on the truck that goes around my neighborhood including the "hello" and it's a surreal experience to hear it elsewhere.
Anyone who is gonna try and troll and say that y'all aren't following local rules is not paying attention and needs to be quiet.

Holy heck Penelope talks now 😳
"A Lannisturner always pays his debts." I heard in a LT once. It seems this proverb holds true.
This was very serene and honestly therapeutic. Thank you Graham for the video, and thank you James for the ice cream. I really appreciated this video.
Cool so I’m at the ‘crying watching people get icecream’ stage of the pandemic it would seem 😂
You're not the only one! 😭💕
3:03 Penelope running towards the ice cream truck just makes it so much better
This made my tummy have those odd movements that joy is made of
This was so sweet and heartwarming! Thanks Graham and James. And all of LRR 💙
Somehow I got all the way to adulthood without realizing you could rent an ice cream truck for events.
I love this so much. The sending of a physical invite was a fantastic touch, well done James.
Omg that ice cream truck music is wild!
Thank you for sharing.
Pretty awesome work James.
Also, wow, Penelope has grown. I think the last thing I saw her in, full sentences had yet to be mastered. And now she speaks with Graham inflections. 😆
I feel bad for Graham, having to rotoscope a tree like that for the end credits must have been a nightmare
Oooh, the production value with the cards 'n names. I like.
Our local ice cream truck plays "La Cucaracha" which is kind of an odd choice for a food related buisness
G, I will love you forever for not adding an "s" after the apostrophe.
Missed these G. This was wholesome AF so cheers for the video evidence that the dark time wasn't quite do dark.
Yay G-Vlog! They're back!
Thank you for sharing this experience. I love these types of videos, much like the annual beer fest you all go to. Makes me wish i had a larger social network.
This is dangerously wholesome. James is a great friend.
This made me unreasonably happy to see all the lrrfolk together
the moment i saw golden graham on the truck i thought, im gonna be disappointed if graham didnt get that one and he got it lol
Oh, I KNEW that was what Graham was going for.
It's sad to see they didn't have the absolute classic that was the Choco Taco or any of those cake-piece-coated bars, but this was still an extremely wholesome thing to see on this warm day. Hope everyone enjoyed their ice cream!

The cut at 1:23 scared me for a moment, before I remembered, no, the right-hand seat in NA is a passenger seat.
James pays his Ice Cream Debts. And it was great to see the crew all enjoying time together.

Watching everyone being excited by the ice cream truck and figuring out what they wanted was pure joy!
It's so heartening to see almost the entire LRR crew show up all at once!!
It pleases it me more than it should that Graham got a Golden Graham.
At the end when the ice cream truck rolls away and Graham pans the camera up to the sky, i can just faintly hear Homestar Runner saying "So long, Baloneyman!"
Penelope representing the vastly superior cotton candy swirl, you love to see it. 😄
A debt has been paid in a very nice and fun way. Good on all of you for such a wholesome treat.
I haven't heard an ice cream truck in years, this was nice. Stay safe now!
I'm just in awe of how high those ice cream prices at 4:05 are. No wonder it took James a while to settle his debt.
I didn't know you could do ice cream truck rentals. I will use this information to mess with friends.
Is it the angle, some lens flare, or is the sun at 3:40 massssssssssive?
So two things. One, James pays his debts very well. Good to know. Secondly, seeing how old Penelope is now makes me feel old.
This made my heart so happy to see all of LRR together again!
wow Penelope is like her own bespoke person now. good job Mom and Dad
Thanks for the video Graham! Always nice to see ya'll enjoying life :)

I bet it's the same for you looking at them and thinking "oh yeah. These people have feet."
That truck is a huge step up from the rusted white van with faded pictures of mass produced schlock I'm used to.
I had to pause so early because WAS THAT PENELOPE SPEAKING IN HER ADORABLE VOICE??? I LOVE THAT CHOCOLATE IS YOUR FAVORITE FLAVOR!!
I have never heard Penelope speak before, and it's astoundingly bizarre, because I was definitely still thinking of her as that baby that was put in a drawer in that episode of commodore hustle.
And not to mention Graham's "Who's a good baby? Presumably you?"
This is a thing I very much enjoyed watching!
This makes my heart so happy and full.
oh man, it's both so sweet to see everyone together and so sad to know that you can't really hang out too closely but gosh this is nice.
The wholesomeness just made me ridiculously happy
How wholesome and lovely to see everyone together, and your daughter is simply adorable!
It has been such an honor and a pleasure to continue following you all these years from my youth into my adulthood.

I like how even after the nature of the request was made clear, you still treated this as a hostile encounter.
I even said to myself immediately when I saw it "If he doesn't get the Golden Graham I'm going to be so disappointed".
I was not disappointed.
This is one of the most wholesome videos you've posted so far
Man your ice cream trucks in Canada are so clean and fancy.
