Never thought a hob could lead a man to reflecting on his own mortality... 😂
😂
Sliding effortlessly from hobs to mortality? I think our Britishness is rubbing off on you geez!
JJ is much more British in his manner and humour I feel.
"Hob" is the acceped word in formal British English for the hot cooking surface on which saucepans are boiled or left to simmer. You will find hobs on gas and electric cookers, built into kitchen worktops (and often made of ceramic) and on old-fashioned coal, coke or wood-fuelled kitchen ranges.
It is not and has never been slang and I am surprised that this essential word does not exist in the USA.
Americans seem to favour simple descriptive terms, like cooktop and sidewalk.
Hob isn't slang, it's what we call the hot plate or gas ring area.
i haven't heard it called that for forty years.
We always call it the hob, we have a gas hob on top of our electric oven. Definitely not slang.
Gas hob, electric hob, induction hob etc. Not slang and in common usage, me thinks David has stepped into a kitchen for 40 years
@@debraward4700 Maybe he means it literally, perhaps he lost his hearing 4 decades ago?
Like many American English words, Stove harks back to olde world times, when people cooked on a stove made of bricks and or clay which later evolved into metal . A stove was fuelled by burning wood, although just like across the pond many of those early Americans were still cooking on an open fire. Eventually coal took the place of wood, then came gas and electric and the appliance changed completely hence the combined oven and hob was born which we call a cooker in UK , but as with many other American English words that have become archaic or reasigned in UK we forgot to send you that memo.
The controls for a 'stove-top' are known in my house as 'hob-knobs'.
I need to do this from now on lol
I can confirm that if you walk around Glasgow talking to your phone about arriving in glasgow, there's a high chance someone will yell abuse at you. also, yelling abuse at each other is how we show affection, it's all about the timing.
Russell Hobs was a famous kitchen appliance company. It was later used as the name if a member of the band The Gorillaz
They still make kitchen appliances.
That was Hobbs though
No, that’s pretty much what somebody would say in Glasgow 😂
Yup
Glasgow is the only place I have ever seen someone heckle a live musical.
I love this guys voice … so relaxing 😂
Man, I'm so pleased to see your channel taking off. As a Brit who lived in America from the ages of 18-20, I'm really enjoying these!
Hob. It’s not slang it’s the actual term . It’s usually setting into the worktop and it’s very rare to have a freestanding cooker in the UK now. The built in oven will be in a tall cupboard.
That was brilliant, made even better by your ever so laid back tones. 😊
The " Just stop oil " movement must be the most hated people in UK at the moment. They cause so much trouble holding up traffic that people miss flights , miss funerals , miss hospital appointments etc . . They visit art galleries and throw paint over famous paintings and so on and so on. Thank you for the belly laugh JJ as i'm sitting in bed not feeling well but you have made me laugh soooooo much xx
They are on the right side of history though.
@@johngault22 but wrong side of the law
Causing as much disruption as possible is the point: no one ever got their message across by handing out tea and fairy cakes.
They may be the biggest pain in the arse of modern times, but at least they are doing it for a good cause.
@@johngault22 How can they be on the right side of history if theyre destroying famous historical paintings and artefacts?
How can they ask the government to stop oil when theyre using oil based products to vandalise things.
How can they be stop using oil activists while wearing clothes made from oil?
@@lesleycarney8868 all effective protest movements become on the wrong side of the law because the government is threatened by their ideas and makes certain protests illegal, well in the UK anyway.
Having fun while watching memes and end up pondering about your approaching death and immortality. Very relatable.
ive been watching your videos for a while now, i love these videos. i look forward to the same time everday when you post❤
3:14 The apparently infinite variety of words in English is used to classify accurately the age, class, education and occupation of whoever you are talking to - so you can bypass small talk and just envy or patronise them as required.
I am new to your channel....and I like the fact you show a real, close, interest in everything you watch; plus I love your voice and the relaxed, laid-back delivery 💙👍
We're an eccentric lot over here, it's hilarious. Makes you proud to be British 😂
Great reaction as always, wishing you well.
His welcome to Glasgow is almost certainly not staged especially if it is late Saturday evening and he's been tagged as English!
I love the reaction to jokes like the Switzerland one and there is That big pause before the laugh
Shiteoyle is an extremely broad Yorkshire pronunciation of Shithole btw lol
Lady who lost her teeth said ''Stop videoing Vinny ! Go on ...carry on !''...then denture failure.
Of all the accounts I follow, yours is the only one that keeps me engaged so thank you :)
If its a combination hob and oven its a cooker, if the top part is seperat and mounted onto a surface thats a hob, and an oven is an oven😊
I stuck a full page "Don't Park Like a Twat" sticker on the side window of a large BMW SUV that used to park across my driveway when visiting a neighbour. On a nearly empty road, but they apparently had to always park where they could see their car from their window, in case the local riffraff messed with their car.
"Quintessentially British". Now there's a phrase that's in danger of erosion these days.
Only to those who arn't...ah wait, yes you're right
If your mate is drunk,you get out the phone and start recording.
Hi JJLA, I'm loving just having your videos playing while I'm "at work", you're great company! All the best.
“ she is sloshed” you are being polite. Us British would say she’s pissed.
yeah, and the thing about learning all this stuff about the UK is that we have a head start on knowing about US culture, because of Holywood and the amount of US media in general that is syndicated around the world. We even watch your news stations on occasion, like cnn etc.
Hobs are only the electric ones, not gas one that's a burner.
"Going out out" is when you're going out with your mates for a night of drinks, maybe food and a nightclub and putting nice clothes on. "Going out" is casual clothes, casual drinks. Check out Mickey Flannagan
"Hob" is also an English nickname for the Devil (you know, "Old Nick", "The Evil One", "The Morning Star" etc.).
I've seen Quatermass And The Pit (awesome British sci-fi horror movie from 1967) so that pretty much makes me an expert on the word "hob". Because that's how that works.
Major Kudos for the Quatermass & The Pit reference.
Probably the only movie to truly scare the living Bejesus out of me.
Well.. I was pretty young back then !
JJ There three certainties of life, Taxes, Death and always learning something new about the UK.
7:02 She just wanted to feel the rain, my youngest was like that at that age, always annoyed me at the time caus she got drenched, but kids will be kids 😂😂😂
Believe if, I had a friend went to Glasgow stop somebody to ask directions and he just got punched to the floor for having an English accent. English have to put up with a lot of bigotry and hate, justified over some battle that happend several hundred years ago.
No doubt the individual was a Celtic/SNP supporter. They've ruined my city. Rule Britannia 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The Scottish guy shouting across the street at the guy doing the selfies stuff is absolutely plausible. And as an Englishman I believe it's justifiable.
Every British person only just learning that ‘hob’ isn’t the scientific term…!
As black as the hobs of hell, is an old British saying.
Interesting, never heard it
Maybe this is a local saying to your area , I’ve not heard it before. Know the saying, it’s as black as Newgates knocker.
Tesco is one of our large supermarket chains in the uk 😂
I love your British voice 😂
No that was not arranged, If you go out after dark or earlier in some parts of Glasgow, you take your life in your hands. Buyer beware.
Thing next to hob are called hobnobs, look that up.
Those filters definitely looked like the Tim and Eric hacky sack tournament sketch animations!
If someone put a sticker on the car like that, it will be taken as a laugh
In a kitchen the hob is a projection, shelf, grate or bench for holding food or utensils at the back or side of a hearth (fireplace) to keep them warm, or an internal chimney-corner. In modern British English usage, the word refers to a cooktop or hotplate, as distinguished from an oven.
The word is a noun meaning approximately "holder", derived from the Old English verb habban "to have, hold". The word hub "support of a disk or wheel" is apparently from the same source. Wikipedia. Now we all know.
The Scottish do hate us, though 😂
First time I've watched you today. Your voice is so mellow and soothing . Do people tell you that all the time ? You should read bedtime stories or be a middle of the night radio DJ 🙂
trust me, if he was in Glasgow late at night ... it's probably for real!
Things went dark at 3:28 😂 But I get what your saying.. As a recently turned 52 year old Englishman, I feel the years ticking by 🫣😄🙏🏽
It tenner bet it wasn’t arranged, that is just Glasgow 😂
For the love of goodness listen to ROXY MUSIC and BRYAN FERRY for hugely influential UK Music that effected the 70s> The band evolved with every album and Bryan Ferry in his solo career worked along side Dave Gilmour, Robert Fripp and Mark Knopfler. Dave Gilmour even plaid guitar on Ferry's time on Live Aid. David Bowie is on video stating how great they were at that time. Watch The Professor of Rocks analysis of Bryan Ferry's work just to give an idea, No other band evolved so much with each passing album. They were one of the most influential bands throughout their Career
I think most of us use the word hob... yes, we are a strange bunch haha
im the same but mine is to do with the herbal essence if ya catch mi drift lol
Oh dear you don’t know weather to laugh or cry😂😂😂
Wow that's just like how I put together furniture 😅
Just subscribed to your channel. The bakery one, she didn’t know because it wasn’t her department,works in the bakery. I have done this with people who don’t even work there.Siarad am teimlad fel dwp. ( Talk about feeling like an idiot.)🤦♀️😂🏴❤️🌎🇺🇸
Boris got me 🤣
I love fossel fuel and nuclear power , they would have a problem with me , happy to say i noticed they are in London where all the products are made from oil .
Tesco is one of our Supermarkets/Grocery stores.
Even with my broadest northern Brit accent I couldn't really tell everything the women whomlost her teeth said but from what I could make out she was asking him why he was taking a video of her.
7:25 wait! He sounds like Dylan Moran.
The my name is Lisa was a challenge where you say a phrase the beginning of the night and then the same at the end stating the end of the night to see how pissed you are
Not everybody in the UK is like this. Only a small proportion (hopefully)
Regarding the elderly lady in blue coat.
Don't know if this was put on just to get views but I have come across people like that in real life.
Seeming frail and elderly- don't ever let appearance fool you.
That last guy committed criminal damage to someone's car for merely parking wrong, could of just asked the person who owned the car to move it away from the junction.....
* could have
@@ticketyboo2456 we are not in an English test dude, gtf off whatever horse you are on and stop being "that guy"
Normalise damaging people's cars if they don't know how to park ^_^
It's just a sticker.!
@@nolajoy7759 it's still criminal damage. If it's not your property, leave it the fuck alone, simple as....
Nobody 'tapes' anyone anymore, they record them. Tape hasn't been used for a long time.
Hob is not slang if you use a dictionary instead of the Google which doesn't always provide correct information.
Why can't Americans say twat instead of twot?
mate chill out it’s not that serious
Us British make mad memes 😂😂😂
Tim & Eric awesome show was awesome ❤
That pilot had no right to ask him to remove that Just Stop Oil t-shirt. You can disagree with the group, but that t-shirt is not offensive.
He had every right, whether you agree or not. On board a plane the captain has total authority. If he wants you to remove the t-shirt and you want to stay onboard, you remove the t-shirt. He can't force you, but he can have you removed for not complying.
"Out in the country what are the chances" every time mate, take a country road in the UK aspect to be stuck behind some C£$t in a tractor.
WHat is a Just Stop Oil shirt? I don't get that one
Ya know if you just watch you’ll get an answer. It’s a reaction vid not replay
are you disappointed that biden wasnt on the lolita express list?
Please tell me what a 'Bam Pot' its a classic sScottish saying.
should not have cancelled yer club membership in 1776......the you would of kept up with reality :P
lol your funny
❤
Hob is also a folklore little goblin like creature that can be helpful or naughty depending on how its treat by it's home owner....I think 🤔
Hobgoblin or a brownie I think :)

😮 Why would anyone want to wear a "Just Stop Oil" t-shirt on a stag do ?! His stagmates must be planning to dump him in a "slick" ?!!
Come on dude, there's no reason to hate on Trump, you're better than that. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
1kth
It's far more likely that Biden's teeth will fall out. Go Trump 2024! But more importantly, let's go Brandon!
the tractor was drving whilst not able to see ffs lol his fault
The woman whose teeth fell out...she was saying stop filming,,,and he said look at her teeth falling out ( he mentioned facebook as well).
