32:26 fun fact Ed, Amsterdam actually specially developed easy to use public urinals due to the sheer amount of intoxicated people urinating in the canals and falling in! They made them so simplistic to make sure people use them instead of going for a canal wee.
The two biggest LADS on planet earth take on Amsterdam! I always wondered if it was as crazy and debaucherous as people say, only one way to find out...
Going to Amsterdam and not visiting the red light district, coffee houses or even the sex museum is like going to a steak restaurant and ordering just the salad 😂
Amsterdam has other things to offer that majority doesnt know. I smoke weed but stay away from those places because its bad problem. They got camera's in lady rooms and they abuse them while they say not. The dutch said they never lock and use a women but u got their own women saying its okey but if u ask majority they say no.
Went on my first flight today at the big age of 22 and only saw this legend who gave me some encouraging words as I was very nervous big up Ed can’t wait for the next vid
I've just got back from the Dam, i smoked an unreal amount of green and had zero alcohol, ate fully vegan and had the best time. Just shows how different trips can be ❤
€ 9,- for a stroopwafel?! You can almost buy an entire bakery for that much money. I am Dutch, born and raised in Amsterdam, please forgive us for these prices. These stores are robbers with a VOC pirate mindset. Despite that, I hope you enjoyed your visit. 🙂
25:38 I believe that is Grizabella from the musical "Cats" 😅 I love Amsterdam been there and a bit all over The Netherlands, a tiny bit of my childhood was spent in Leeuwarden, which is in Friesland 💙❤
Been watching you Ed since the Worst Rated Pub Video, The video's are getting higher in quality, the content is getting more entertaining. Keep it up mate
Oh Ed, I'm so pleased you sought out Anne Franks's house, and that you experienced the niceness of Amsterdam instead of reinforcing the negative image of the Drunken British on a Lads weekend. Good on you both.
'All beers taste the same and if you say otherwise you're a mentalist' THIS coming from the man who eats a burger with a knife and fork! People in glass houses bro! 🤣🤣
Been to Amsterdam several times n had a blast. Some amazing museums, tours and food and a mixture of combined cultures intertwined. My best advise to travel cheap would be to book a private room in a hostel, i usually stay at a small one near Vondell park about a 10 min walk from centrall.
I stayed at a mixed dorm there.. was mad.. one woman sitting on the floor sorting her bag for 4 hours before I checked out and went to a hotel. Worst hostel I’ve ever been too. Dark walls, hardly any lights(if any). Super dodgy.
Oh dude!!!! I've already finished your library and I was now going through Ciarán's, this collab could not have had a better timing!!!!! Big up, my favourite content creators!
9:45 i feel like I should let you know that they do have a very similar one but it’s made with white chocolate instead of dark chocolate, sadly they don’t sell it everywhere so it’s a bit hard to find, it’s my favorite tho!
Been to Dam couple times now. Best option for those who are planning on going for the first time. Get a hotel outside Amsterdam central and get the train in. Like 5 euros for the day. Also be warned it’s ridiculously expensive for even a maccies so be warned
Me and my mate went to the Dam a few years back and ended up taking some crazy shrooms. It was probably the scariest but funniest 10 hours of my life 😄😂
Why does nobody make a cocktail flavoured chocolate? My partner won a Hotel Chocolat create a chocolate competition years ago with a Pink Squirrel chocolate, based on the cocktail. We had boxes of them. It made it into some of their selection boxes.
I've been to Amsterdam a few times, but not recently. The last time I went me and my buddy had far too many magic mushrooms and missed our flight home because we were tripping balls all through the night.
I’ve had many good and mad memories in this city which I wouldn’t change for the world but it can be such a mental place at times. I remember being on a bender there and waking up with terrible heartburn and walked about for 45 minutes trying to find a normal shop for a pint of milk which is mad considering how easy getting stoned or getting your desires met is, I ended up marching about ranting about the lack of milk in Amsterdam like feeling like victor meldrew 😂
Haha nice vid !🌹 B.t.w. there's only ONE thing that isn't over-hyped *:* Go to the Rijksmuseum, suck it all in (dutch golden age) , go and strawl through the alleys, the canals, Parks, and you walk 400 years back in the time-machine; walk the same walk Rembrandt did, THAN go back to the Rijksmuseum again, and whe you leave the museum you will speak middle-Dutch.....
I reserved the tickets for the Anne Frank house as soon as they became available. Two days later I looked again to see if there were more tickets available because some friends thought of coming along with us to the Netherlands. All tickets sold out, as well the tickets for the Van Gogh Museum. If you really want to see those, you have to set an alarm and book the day of the slots opening up.
So nice to see one of my favourite RUclipsrs enjoying my country :) I definitely would recommend seeing some other cities next time, Delft, Leiden and Haarlem for example are close by the airport, very cute and picturesque as well but much less touristic if you would like to have less weed smell and more cosy walks
I went to see the Bodyworld exhibition when it was in the UK and was fascinated. Especially with how fat is laid down around the body. Brilliant, educational stuff.
When we visited 'Dam, I went through the red light district out of morbid curiosity 😂 had one lady bang on the window as I went past, and I jumped out my skin
Next time you go give me a shout too and i'll show you a proper time in Amsterdam, where to stay without having to pay £280/Night AND some nicer food!😉Sick video though as always Ed, bodyworks always freaks me out, the way they preserve the bodies is mad though! If theres any space on that Asia trip let me know as well, i've been to Asia a handful of times so would be great content to show you round Thailand/Cambodia/Vietnam and experience Japan for the first time with a sound group of lads like you fellas🤙
21 Seconds in Gunther von Hagens is a German anatomist, businessman and lecturer. He developed the technique for preserving biological tissue specimens
We do have those urinals in London that come out from underground at night. Someone actually died inside one by being crushed. Anyway , good funny video 👍
omg i went to amsterdam in august for the first time actually, and i spent so much money at albert heijn (supermarket) over my few days there that i think i may have singlehandedly kept their humble little (€12billion/£10billion) business afloat
Ed coming to my home city and actually saying exactly what I have to scream at my family about living here. I go near the redlight one or two times a year max, generally to meet visitors. Next time I can point at some of the things you saw and tell you the history.
There used to be a place like Febo in the Ilac centre in Dublin, I'm sure it's long closed at this stage (I haven't been in the Ilac centre in the last 10 years, and to be honest I doubt anyone who still lives in Dublin has either). I never once tried it because it all looked disgusting and I'm sure it had probably been sat in the vending machine for days. Also £7.50 (even better if it was actually €7.50) isn't too bad to have your own bar of chocolate made. I paid £20 to have some M&M's made in that stupid shop in London, and you know damn well they'd have children doing the personalised printing if they could.
I loved every minute of this 😍 though at one point I was starting to wonder if Ciaran was some kind of rain God 🌧 The cost of that hotel though, yikes 😬 Ever thought of going to Rovaniemi? You could go and sit on Santa's knee! 😄

Dublin actually had the biggest red light district in the eu back in the day theres even songs about it
kinda ironic you expected a split bed but got a single and you expected a single chocolate bar and you got a split one.
32:26 fun fact Ed, Amsterdam actually specially developed easy to use public urinals due to the sheer amount of intoxicated people urinating in the canals and falling in! They made them so simplistic to make sure people use them instead of going for a canal wee.
baffles me how underappreciated and underrated and undersubbed ed is
The two biggest LADS on planet earth take on Amsterdam! I always wondered if it was as crazy and debaucherous as people say, only one way to find out...
Debauched.
I assume Ellis is still too traumatised by Sticky Vicky's to risk Amsterdam with you rascals
Ahahahahaha! She definitely stuck in my mind 😂
This reminds me of the hell raiser films, I LOVE IT Ed😃
Going to Amsterdam and not visiting the red light district, coffee houses or even the sex museum is like going to a steak restaurant and ordering just the salad 😂
Amsterdam has other things to offer that majority doesnt know. I smoke weed but stay away from those places because its bad problem.

This is a holiday with two lads, not a lads holiday.
I prefer the holiday with two lads than the other version any day.
Great video.
How many lads are required for it to be a lads holiday?
Went on my first flight today at the big age of 22 and only saw this legend who gave me some encouraging words as I was very nervous big up Ed can’t wait for the next vid
I've just got back from the Dam, i smoked an unreal amount of green and had zero alcohol, ate fully vegan and had the best time. Just shows how different trips can be ❤
"i dont get weed, cant you just be chill on your own?" Then proceeds to drink alcohol, which is arguably worse for you 😂
Madness
And wants to eat burgers with a knife and fork 🤣 Love Ed but he’s a funny guy
Not even arguably, it is literally way way worse for you.
€ 9,- for a stroopwafel?! You can almost buy an entire bakery for that much money. I am Dutch, born and raised in Amsterdam, please forgive us for these prices. These stores are robbers with a VOC pirate mindset.

Best RUclipsr atm
25:38 I believe that is Grizabella from the musical "Cats" 😅
I love Amsterdam been there and a bit all over The Netherlands, a tiny bit of my childhood was spent in Leeuwarden, which is in Friesland 💙❤
Been watching you Ed since the Worst Rated Pub Video, The video's are getting higher in quality, the content is getting more entertaining. Keep it up mate
Well I was about to go out but Ed has posted so I'm staying home to watch
Oh Ed, I'm so pleased you sought out Anne Franks's house, and that you experienced the niceness of Amsterdam instead of reinforcing the negative image of the Drunken British on a Lads weekend. Good on you both.
There’s blue comments on yt
If you go out of the touristy part it gets so nice and the waffles are half the price and made fresh in front of you
22:45 "another big building that looks nice" yes that'll be the Royal Palace.
It started as the town hall 400 years ago during the Republic, and when 200 years ago Holland became a kingdom it got repurposed as a palace.
'All beers taste the same and if you say otherwise you're a mentalist'
THIS coming from the man who eats a burger with a knife and fork! People in glass houses bro! 🤣🤣
Love you Ed.. “the food isn’t that good..” .. having eaten burgers and pizza and holiday inn breakfasts 😂🙈
Exactly! It's not like he went to proper restaurants! 😆

Nice long video. Thank you Ed
You are the last person I would associate with a "lads" trip anywhere.
You are like a camper version of Alan Bennett.
Savage 😂
9:45 i feel like I should let you know that they do have a very similar one but it’s made with white chocolate instead of dark chocolate, sadly they don’t sell it everywhere so it’s a bit hard to find, it’s my favorite tho!
Anne Frank, one of the greatest hide and seek players ever
In like 3years, it’s awesome to see it going so well on this channel, hyped it’s ya job now, congrats! 🎉
This was such an awesome video Ed 😁 Hilarious. You and Kieran are so funny together. 😊
Dam Square - the large beautiful building on one edge of the square is in fact the Palace of Dutch Royal Family!
The part where you were talking about the bikes is a great example of how good your travel blogging is.
As a Dutch (Half British) viewer, glad to see you enjoying the Netherlands

No Susan 😂😂
Absolutely wild lads trip!
Just got back from my own trip there this weekend, fun seeing you do most of the same stuff!
The Duo We Didn’t Know We Needed 😂

What you had at the FEBO is a 'kroket'. It's a Dutch delicacy. Try it with mustard next time!
Facts
Funniest Ciaran statement ever:
I'm going to go home run a bath & cry 🤣🤣🤣
Benidorm 🤣
"It's a workout for the old hand"
Be careful what part of Amsterdam you say that in mate
and "being pelted in the face" - I think he knows what he's doing 😝
The amount of innuendo in the first half of this video is great, I’ve a feeling most of it was unintentional too 😂😂
Why does nobody make a cocktail flavoured chocolate?
My partner won a Hotel Chocolat create a chocolate competition years ago with a Pink Squirrel chocolate, based on the cocktail. We had boxes of them. It made it into some of their selection boxes.
Hi a great video and i enjoyed your tour of Amsterdam. Thanks for making this video.
"maybe a child's brain, or a dumb person" said the man who spent 18 POUNDS to stare at it 😝
Those krokets are basically filled with a very thick beef gravy. They’re delectable. Love them.
This is a really good video, Ed. Lovely. 🎉🎉🎉
Why did Ed go super camp when talking about the twin room? 🤣
I've been to Amsterdam a few times, but not recently. The last time I went me and my buddy had far too many magic mushrooms and missed our flight home because we were tripping balls all through the night.
Been waiting for this video since your Instagram live session a few weeks ago Ed 👏 you and Ciaran are hilarious
Never fancied Amsterdam, but that body museum is exactly my thing.
There all over, not just Amsterdam! There really cool
I’ve had many good and mad memories in this city which I wouldn’t change for the world but it can be such a mental place at times. I remember being on a bender there and waking up with terrible heartburn and walked about for 45 minutes trying to find a normal shop for a pint of milk which is mad considering how easy getting stoned or getting your desires met is, I ended up marching about ranting about the lack of milk in Amsterdam like feeling like victor meldrew 😂
Two of my fav You Tubers doing a video together, lessgo!! 🎉🎉
Food is really good there, you did choose some dog holes though 😅😅
Another Great video Ed. Keep them coming. Have a great week.
Haha nice vid !🌹
B.t.w. there's only ONE thing that isn't over-hyped *:*
Go to the Rijksmuseum, suck it all in (dutch golden age) ,
go and strawl through the alleys,
the canals, Parks,
and you walk 400 years back in the time-machine;
walk the same walk Rembrandt did, THAN go back to the Rijksmuseum again, and whe you leave the museum you will speak middle-Dutch.....
35 minutes!!!!!!! ED!!!!!! finally my loyalty is rewarded 😂🎉❤ x

Loving the longer videos
So nice to see one of my favourite RUclipsrs enjoying my country :) I definitely would recommend seeing some other cities next time, Delft, Leiden and Haarlem for example are close by the airport, very cute and picturesque as well but much less touristic if you would like to have less weed smell and more cosy walks
Mate your content is too good for RUclips your a natural talent
This really needed to turn into the Hangover part 4, drinks on the boat and the next thing....😂
I went to see the Bodyworld exhibition when it was in the UK and was fascinated. Especially with how fat is laid down around the body. Brilliant, educational stuff.
When we visited 'Dam, I went through the red light district out of morbid curiosity 😂 had one lady bang on the window as I went past, and I jumped out my skin
Can’t wait to watch this!
I last went there in 2003 and blimey, I can't remember any of this.
Only remember the coffee shops😂
I love these videos. They remind me of the Ch4 Travel Man series, but without the budget for well known comedians.
The blood pressure cuff was upside down 😂 thank you for creating such fun videos. That chocolate bar looked soo good
Guaranteed Ciaran went to a coffeeshop to partake in what Ed thinks he's too good for 😂
That "vending machine" restaurant, I saw the same thing in a Doris Day film from 1950 so they must have been popular in New York at the time.
Recently found your channel. Loving it! :)
Hey Ed, heard you say you're coming to Asia. I'm in China if you want to come and film here
I tried eating a burger with knife and fork yesterday for the first time. It's a revelation, mess free, thank you for that tip, Ed.
No Ed. We can't chill out on our own, that's why we smoke weed 😂
That chocolate is on sale in the UK. Expensive but really good. Even my local shop sells it.
Another banger nice one Ed mate 🎉🎉
Wahey the lads at it again!
"a body expedition".... That sounds interesting!! ☺️
Love your vids Ed. Happy Sunday. ☺️Kx
Next time you go give me a shout too and i'll show you a proper time in Amsterdam, where to stay without having to pay £280/Night AND some nicer food!😉Sick video though as always Ed, bodyworks always freaks me out, the way they preserve the bodies is mad though!

All beer tastes the same?? Come on Ed, broaden your horizons mate 🍻

Nice video Ed. There's a brilliant floating Chinese restaurant in Dam. Food is lush!
Imagine going to Amsterdam and complaining about the smell of weed 😂
There used to be a place like Febo in the Ilac centre in Dublin, I'm sure it's long closed at this stage (I haven't been in the Ilac centre in the last 10 years, and to be honest I doubt anyone who still lives in Dublin has either).

Great vid!!
I have always wanted to go to Amsterdam it looks so pretty
You must be one of the most unadventurous eaters I've ever seen!
11:29 totally agree! X
Currently having a 💩, will watch soon 🫶🏻
cheers, good to know
@@EdChapman23 Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Still waiting for you to make some more artwork, I need some on my wall.
newcastle amsterdam cruise so much cheaper and would be great content to see your reaction 😂
I loved every minute of this 😍 though at one point I was starting to wonder if Ciaran was some kind of rain God 🌧
The cost of that hotel though, yikes 😬
Ever thought of going to Rovaniemi? You could go and sit on Santa's knee! 😄
next amsterdam trip u should go on a "pannenkoekenboot" (a boat/river tour while you eat 'unlimited' crepes/pancakes)
I was there a few weeks ago!!
It was boiling hot!
Tony's Chocolonely is 🔥 and "kroket uit de muur" (croquette out of the wall, that stuff at Febo) is quintessentially Dutch (beige food, let's go)
Somehow Ed madame Tussauds Wax museum statues are made out of wax lol
That's the one
The (wax) museum gives it away😂@@EdChapman23
Good to meet you at stagedoor last night I have now subscribed 😂😂
Glad you enjoyed your away days.
