      @@raphaelcarlosantos1728 When an English speaker says "I didn't think you had it in you" by itself, it's considered a compliment. It's telling someone that they exceeded expectations. But when Roger tacks on "...and I mean that", he's indicating that he doesn't mean it in a flattering way, because Roger is not a flatterer. It means he actually had no confidence in them at all. It's what's called a "backhand insult" in English, which means the person/people being insulted aren't aware of the insult.

    • @James-g8q1e
      @James-g8q1e ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Guys in The United States and other places do this frequently insulting each other and the “I mean it” was basically that he is not fully joking but they didn’t pick up on it fully because it was unexpected in that moment but Pete sort of caught it. It is Roger being funny but also disrespecting them a bit. It is funny in the context of the show. What us a bit ironic is Roger is a pretty poor account man at this stage of his career and pretty much just rides his partnership so is fully reliant on the fools he hires.

    Watch the faces of some of the secondary characters in these clips. I think they wanted to break out laughing. It of course is fine because the characters in the show usually laugh at him, anyway. Look at Hendricks at 2:40, she starts to laugh right at the cut.
