Potatoes

One way I escape from reality is through YouTube comedy.

Charlie Berens is one of my favourite comedians.

Hope you enjoy this one. He's made plenty more, on any topic you can imagine. YouTube will suggest more for you at the conclusion :)

Humour NEVER goes astray. Thank you.
Mind you I can see just how irritating he would be to have around...

jenny_o said...

Indeed :)
Actually, I've seen interviews with him and he seems to be a very nice person, humble and likeable.

Joanne Noragon said...

Funny, in a very irritating sort of way.

Anonymous said...

Education with amusement.

River said...

I guess that's funny, but I wouldn't be watching more of him.

Bonnie said...

He's a funny one okay! But, I can't say I would want to work with him. ; )

kylie said...

hahaha! a promotion every day for that guy! they will eventually run out of places to send him and that's when he knows it's time to make a new video :)

Marie Smith said...

Love those “padaedas” as islanders say.

jenny_o said...

:)

jenny_o said...

I don't think it's supposed to be educational, just amusing :)

jenny_o said...

Sorry, River :) You're apparently not the only one!

jenny_o said...

No, that's the point, I think . . . it seems this guy's humour isn't to everyone's taste, though :)

jenny_o said...

I find his videos to be gentle pokings at himself and where he lives; maybe I like it because I identify with it. Humour in our region is similar.

jenny_o said...

And Islanders know their padaedas! (New Brunswickers as well :))

Laughing...thanks!!

messymimi said...

Heeheehee! Thank you.

LL Cool Joe said...

I think I agree with Joanne, although a bit more irritating. :D

Charlie is one of my favorite comedians. I have tickets to see him next month.

John M said...

Bought me a much needed smile, thanks

Janie Junebug said...

I've seen some of his other videos. He's very funny.

Love,
Janie

jenny_o said...

Glad you enjoyed it, e!

jenny_o said...

Anytime, Mimi :)

jenny_o said...

Ha ha! It's funny how the comments tend to be divided along a nationality split - Americans finding it funny and others not so much. Maybe the accent is somewhat of a barrier.

jenny_o said...

Lucky you! I'm noticing a divide between the reactions here. Americans (and me, a Canadian) finding him funny and others finding him more irritating. As I said in another reply, I see him not as irritating but as poking gentle fun at himself and his region, the same as we do here.

jenny_o said...

I'm glad, John - smiles are good :)

jenny_o said...

I enjoy his humour. Part of it for me is his accent and his colloquialisms, which may not translate so well for other parts of the world (as you may have seen in the other comments).

dinthebeast said...

Many of my friends are way more obnoxious than this guy.
And Idaho? Wisconsin? Meh. The best potatoes I have ever run across were grown in Tule Lake CA, right on the Oregon border. The whole area is an ancient peat bog and the potatoes and onions they grow there are to die for.

bluebird of bitterness said...

It does seem to be a regional thing. :-)

jenny_o said...

Now I wish I could try them - I do like potatoes and onions and to have them be even better than usual? cool :)

Diane Henders said...

I discovered (to my chagrin) that the potatoes we grow on Vancouver Island don't taste as good as the ones grown on the prairies. I'm sure Charlie could work up a few jokes about that. ;-)

right now hubby was praying so i could not hear loud ,yes when it comes to English or Persian i have to hear it loud so words enter in my head clearly and i can have least probability for misunderstanding .i will definitely watch it again and let you know what i felt :)

i too had great love for reading and watching interviews of people who are successful in life .a great source to learn what is difference between them and those who leave behind .
thank you for sharing
hugs!
