    0:27 Omg the generalísimo joke was so good. For those who don't know Franciso Franco (Spain's dictator at the time) was also called Generalísimo, so no wonder Manuel looks at him that way.

    It is really subtle, but this show very strongly hints that Manuel knows English much better than Basil realizes. His intelligence and work ethic is also never questioned either - only his language skills.

    • @nthgth
      @nthgth ปีที่แล้ว +5

      True, and his screw-ups are only from the language barrier really (and not even that bad, just annoying to Basil). He seems to be a fantastic worker when he knows what he's doing.
