I had an old boyfriend who got hammered on Soju in S. Korea back in the late '80s. They were eating a big meal at a restaurant and kept tossing the stuff back. Since they were sitting on cushions on a very low bench, he didn't realize just how much it was affecting them. It was only when they stood up that he realized that the floor had developed a decided tilt.
I've been that guy, but at a Korean restaurant in the U.S.. Just eating delicious food and pounding them back and then stand up and hit the floor.
Never drink sitting low. Asia palate dinner tables, man, they can fuck you up!
But you're right, right.
@@TheSonshade learned this at an all inclusive resort in Mexico when i was 15. Kept ordering beers and tequila shots sitting on the edge of the pool. I still have a ceramic tooth to prove it.
chu hi stand in japan was always a blast for that reason. take someone new there and warn them only have one of these in the next 30 minutes..minute 25 hits and they go "meh this shit is weak, dont know why you warned me so many times" they have like half of another one, and wonder why the ceiling suddenly became the wall. good times
If this guy reviewed peanut butter with lore involved, I would absolutely watch.
Who would dare review pb without lore involved?
Peanut butter review: smooth v chunky
@@misswilwarin8829 it depends on how im feeling
This needs to happen.
WRITE THAT DOWN. WRITE THAT DOWN!
"Frogs are wet toads are dry, right?"
Yeah more or less you basically got it.
Literally tried soju for the first time the other day. At first it feels thick but after 2-3 sips, it starts to get suspiciously smooth and easy to drink
And he is totally right about flavored Soju being too smooth for its own good. You can *easily* knock a bottle or two back without realizing just how much alcohol you're sucking down. It's like getting mugged by a wine cooler.
@@jasonblalock4429 most of the good alcohol i've tried has been way too easy to drink. someone gave me a $100 bottle of rum for christmas once and i was able to drink half of it in a day of lounging around at home while hitting a dispensary vape pen
I went to college and had a number of South Korean friends. Every day I would watch them drink soju until 7am and go about their lives the next day as if nothing happened. I don't know how this is even possible.
I lived in Seoul for a year to learn the language. My friends and I would go out every night till 4am drinking the whole night, wake up at 7am and somehow get through the day only to do it all over again.
That's how we live 😂
Being in the military I’ve heard stories of the unregulated soju. You never knew if you were gonna get a nice buzz or wake in an alley. They say the fastest way to make E-5 is to go to Korea as an E-6.
Never been out that way but all the guys who have been on deployment over there talk fondly of the soju stands and all the shit a sailor can get into from them.
Soju is not unregulated. It is highly regulated. It just depends on the brand. Maybe you should learn Korean and stop being so ignorant. Also, Korea is not a third world country with unregulated industry. The U.S is more unregulated. Most American food products are unfit for the Korea market because the regulations are so low in the U.S.
@@Cuyt24 Ya, you tell this ignorant foreign. What country has crime? In Current Year nonetheless. Like, insinuating that some people prioritize profits and scamming and ripping off ignorant foreigners than living within the law, pathetic honestly. How could someone think that people would do such a thing in Current Year!
@@Cuyt24 every country has unregulated alcohol.
E5 E6?
This is the most underrated channel on RUclips. I've watched every drink review so far, hilarious in its own way.
The problem with the real soju is that you'll go one place and be able to drink this amount, then try to go drink the same amount at another place and wake up under a pool table spooning a box of Korean BBQ and kimchi
Haven't seen a Sidewalk Slam cocktail yet.
You drink your 40oz half way then pour in a four loko or equivalent.
Then after you're done you slam on the sidewalk!
This and the borg (black out rage gallon). Gallon of water, fifth to handle of vodka, full dropper of mio energy
@@skyeozga4935 this sounds terrible... and yet i want to try it
You're criminally underrated. Hoping you'll grow quickly soon
Toads are a sub-classification of frogs, meaning that all toads are frogs, but not all frogs are toads. however ALL your videos are entertaining.
But are toads dry?
Hell yes to Park Chan Wook's Old boy, what a f***ing masterpiece!
This guy is in a house with a smart fridge. Is his alter ego The Lockpicking Lawyer? Is that how he’s breaking into these homes‽
Have we seen them in the same room? 😳
there is a variety of unstilled unfiltered soju that comes in big white jugs. it's pretty great.
You mean Bleach?
@@alexanderbrambila8274 no, it's about 3%abv and popular for making shandys. my local korean markets have it refrigerated with the beer. lightly sweet rice malt flavor and carbonated.
That sounds more like a fruit beer, but with rice instead of wheat or barley.
@@Bubu567 its straight rice malt liquor, unfiltered soju. no flavor but rice and sweet. basically homemade booze. almost like a really good version of prison wine.
Makkolli?
great review, i really wish you reviewed soju though
Every once in a while we just want to see our boy enjoy himself
OMG You did it! You mad lad, you actually did it! You are truly a King among Kings! 🤴🤴🤴
I really like the character you have created. Are you planning on doing a travelling show now that things are opening up? Maybe base it around a hosted wine or cocktail tasting, but do it at a comedy club? That sounds like a fun evening.
If you wanna try high class soju, look for a brand called “hwa yo” the 42% is absolutely jet fuel
I have lost more than a few brain cells from soju while I was in S Korea. Great stuff. You need to try the non cocktail stuff.
I knew an absolute psychopath who told me after being stationed in S. Korea his favorite cocktail was Soju and Mtn. Dew 😵💫
"I could drink a lot of it" yep, that's why we like it so much
0:58 Malort Hate Moment
3:30 Anyone else find it sus how intimately PV3 seems to recall Phoebe's Parisian strawberry body spray?
5:30 PV3 roasting the absolute fuck out of people named Meredith
5:35 PV3 roasting the absolute fuck out of people who identify as Hufflepuffs
6:30, 8:14 "My ex-wife destroyed my belief in love and commitment" moment(s)
7:41 Prescott does in fact have nipple hairs (as seen when he took his shirt off in his Taaka King Cake Vodka review)
You’re a king. Please never stop doing this.
Always a pleasure to listen to your notes on drinks. Love the work.
enfin un nouveau vidéo de ce sommelier/humoriste de génie qui me fait rire et sourire à chaque épisode. Je suis accro!
Really? Gone for 3 weeks and back with a new spittoon. This is just too much change for me
We had a guy come back from South Korea with many unlabeled plastic bottles of Soju. It had little flavor and seemingly little effect. Until you go l got up to hit the bathroom, then it kicked in all at once. I would like to find it stateside.
Total Wine &More has different varieties of Soju. Also pretty much any Asian Supermarket carries it.
@@dasdovian7785 I haven't found the variety in a plastic jug with no label
I bought some from Vegas.. huge plastic bottle and it's dangerous.
@@dasdovian7785 not in Utah. Damned utah
I'm still holding out for Underberg!
Its the zoom in on the frayed dress shirt. The not understanding which episodes are greenscreened or not. The tilt-towards-stereotype attitude that he has that really sells this as a unique one of a kind comedy. Nobody will ever do anything like PVIII ever again, regardless of how you feel about it. This is what fun looks like.
YOU DID IT YOU MADMAN. You even got the right flavor. Bless you.
You mean the one flavor no Korean drinks? Plum. Plum is the correct answer.
White grape is my favorite of the flavored lol
Great to see a new video! I still say Viniq would be an interesting review, though it might be a tougher find with it having been discontinued.
Ok, so you should try the unflavored version. It's honestly good, but people hate it. Try making somaek with it: just soju and beer. I prefer a 3:5 ratio.
And if you want another South Korean drink, get some makgeolli
My favorite was *fresh* mixed half and half with 7-11 iced coffee pouches, the ones that come with an ice cup. Then chill on the sidewalk chairs with an ebook and a microwaved hamburger
Glad to see you back. 👍💯
I can't prove that couch story is how PV3 and Spittoon first met, but it does feel like a true story.
Soju is best when you put it in the freezer and when it is at the the consistency of a slushy. That is the time to crack it open and start enjoying it.
Jinro Toad! This can be found in the shopette on US military bases in Asia. Usually $2 a bottle.
Should do a comparative tasting of every flavor of soju you can find. There are easily at least a dozen readily available in most Korean markets in the states.
funnily enough youtube recommended i watch this right after your original malort review
Liked for the OG Old Boy reference.
Gotta see a review on Leroux Jezynowka Blackberry Brandy!!
Love your stuff sir
Now you need to do a flight of a few different soju varieties. Ideally ones from different companies. They are wildly different.
thanks man i always see this in the 7/11 in thailand , il grab some tonight. please do chang beer from thailand
That stuff goes right to your head. Rocket 🚀 ⛽️!!!!
Just when I think I'm out.... an Oldboy reference pulls me right back in!!!
RIGHT?!?
Prescott, business kindles exist and they're actually surprisingly useful, you can write with a pen so well that it looks and feels real, I promise to buy you one as soon as I have the spare cash, they don't come cheap
Frogs have teeth but toads don't.
Now you need to try baiju. You'll understand why we want you to try that one.
Missed you, man! Was getting worried!
Soju was served with Redbull or OJ when I was in SoKo. Korea was fun
Please review Galliano Restretto! It’s a sweet coffee cordial. Keep up the good work, kitten.
Ok look, you're the undisputed king of reviews around these parts. And i know it's not your forté, but I'd really love to see your reaction to the video of Pisces by Jinjer. Please. I need this.
Eh, I don't think people were requesting it to see you suffer as much as they genuinely wanted to see your take on an interesting and slightly out of the ordinary beverage. If they wanted to see you suffer they would have recommended Baijiu, Soju's bastard Chinese cousin. You should totally get on that btw.
Soju's EVIL b*stard cousin! I Looooooooooove Soju but Baiju is worse than the rotgut homemade wodka my uncle used to make back when I was a kid in the USSR LOL
For the algorithm. Underrated channel
I'd had Soju in South Korea and the Philippines when I was in the Marines, but coming back Stateside it wasn't in the shops, so I didn't have it again for a long time. Then I married a Korean. Now it's always to hand. LOVE IT, and it's spoiled this former USSR citizen from drinking wodka! So tasty and SO versatile. Drinking the plain, the flavoured, all good. You can add things like Ume soda to the plain - or the fruit Torani syrups & it's awesome. Add it to bad beer to make a VERY drinkable concoction called a Somaek. Also makes a tremendous Bloody Mary the morning after too many Titanic Somaeks LOL Soju is dangerous because it's a "stealth drink" - it tastes so good and it doesn't taste alcoholly, so you forget that most Sojus have an ABV the same or higher than a fortified wine. Also... the flavoured ones tend to be REALLY good... and get better with each sip. And since I'm on a roll - PERFECT PARTY/BRUNCH COCKTAIL: 1/3 Plum or Lychee Soju. 1/3 Honey Syrup. 1/3 Lemon Juice (or Key Lime Juice)... you're WELCOME lol
Soju Plum and Soju Grape flavours are the best!
Have you seen the old Riunite commercials? I think Riunite Lambrusco would be amazing if you added in some clips of those old commercials. They are totally meme worthy and hilarious.
Please review the grey Poupon wine!
My go to is basic 1:1:1 of
Soju
Elderflower liqueur
Aromatic bitters
Thank you for this video.
Try Taiwanese Kinmen Kaoliang next pls
Always a joy~
Get your hands on some Buckfast and review that!
In the 90s we were warned that some lesser brands of soju were preserved or fortified with formaldehyde.
This brings back many friday safety briefs. Commanders, sergeants major, first sergeants, PLs and PSGs lifting dry status again, all telling us to be careful with soju, telling the underaged people that just because Koreans would serve us booze didn't make it legal, the smirks shot around the formation between the 18-20 year old privates, then after being dismissed everyone runs back to the barracks, changes into civilian clothes, pulls out half their paycheck in won, hops on a bus and slams back 2 or 3 before 6pm, aimlessly wander sketchy alleys and streets while drinking more they picked up at a small kiosk along the sidewalk cause you can drink in public in korea, go into less than reputable bars, hide from MPs every 30 minutes, then stumble 2 miles back home at 12am cause you missed the bus you swore you'd catch. And then the next morning everyone being called in cause some dude in A Co got in a fist fight with a taxi driver or Filipino lady boy he thought was a chick
god dammit PV3, you gave the people what they wanted and only 24k views. may the algorithm smile at thee again
6:44 My expression when I first drank Alize'.....which I'd love for you to review.
We've missed you
haven't watched the video yet, but I think it'd be pretty interesting if you reviewed Soju
That brand of soju is the best selling alcoholic beverage in the world (well, not the strawberry, the regular). It's not unusual to make cocktails with it, but it's traditionally drunk as shots.
Jinro 24. Must try
Hey you should review Shochu
This stuff can get you in trouble!!
Just trust me on this one:
In Korea those folks know how to handle this stuff and there's rituals around it you don't know.
Plus they think it's hilarious to get you really drunk.
You ever played the flick game with the cap?
Can you review soju? I've asked dozens of times and have yet to see one
Unironically the bottle he has is fake soju. Its a neutral grain spirit flavored. Says right on the label. We've been had!
Bro it’s suppose to be served chilled. But still great video. Also watch Hellbound hell of a show
Hellbound was interesting, definitely enjoyed it. Those monsters were absolutely atrocious though, like 2008 had better CG monsters
Manischewitz wine for Passover next week!
Have you ever done/plan on doing saké?
You should review Soju next.
You gotta get the PLUM Prescott
Green grape is the best flavour in my opinion
Soju is great, but deceptively easy to get fairly drunk on. Plum is my favorite variety. Grape soju always reminds me of purple cough syrup flavoring.
The original Oldboy is amazing.
I’d like to see a Stagg Jr. review
Soju is such a god tier drink
You drink this stuff, you’re gonna miss PT in the morning. And your 1SG is not gonna be happy. But it is very tasty.
It’s spring time how about bell’s Oberon ?
You should try buckfast
Never tried the stuff. If I need a review I go to PV3
Frogs can jump, toads can only walk. Although both can also swim.
Commenters? There's literally dozens of us. Dozens!
ABOUT TIME!!!!!!!!!! LOL!
Please try Maker's Mark
if you get unflavored soju you need to buy yakult as well and mix it
unflavored soju just takes like less miserable vodka
im guessing if i took a glass of jinro classic (20%) and a vodka that was watered down to 20% i wouldn't be able to tell the difference
Edward 40 hands review!
Try Koskenkorva Salmiakki
Stickman poppin on a handstand.
My Korean friend told me I had to try the higher proof soju in a drop shot with Korean beer
Fruity hitters? Try Viniq, it’s…wine like.
DID I HEAR SMIRNOFF ICE?
