I lived in California for a couple years and this one time I asked a girl how old she was. She replied, “my spirit and my essence are eternal”. So I countered, “Ok, how long has your physical presence been here upon this earth?” She looked at me, stunned, and said “Damn no one’s ever gotten me with that before. I’m 22.”
I think restaurant business' in Southern California need to be part of the "price gauging" investigation going on, because they swear they put gold in their food with these F ing prices!!!
My aunt and her close friend left Philly for LA about 35yrs ago. My grandparents and I went down to visit shortly after. At 6yrs old I remembered feeling like it really was a different world... 8yrs later I went to see her, my cousin, & my uncle who both were blooming architects at the time & living in the hills. Point being, this is a very accurate depiction of the transformation of everyone that stays.
You are my new favorite sketch comedian! Your facial expressions and tone add soooo much to the skits. This skit hit too close to home; I feel like everyone I know who has ever moved to LA went through this exact experience :D
This only applies to a handful of neighborhoods. We call them the “transplant” neighborhoods. Santa Monica, West Hollywood, Studio City etc. There’s a few more but they’re the neighborhoods all of these out of town aspiring social media influencers move to. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone from Santa Monica that actually grew up there. If you come to LA and want to see what actual LA people are like stay away from these “Hollywood” type areas. Hollywood a derogatory term we use to describe someone that’s the typical LA stereotype. When you go to the beach go to the cities south of LAX like Redondo Beach or Torrance.
I didn’t know LA had a Cafe Gratitude! 😂. I can recall a time I sat in ye olde Berkeley Cafe Gratitude and said those menu item names as if my future depended on it. 😂😂😂 (So embarrassed to admit that!!). Very well done.
I ate there once with my girlfriend. Our waiter was Thyme. He recommended the Chiken. Not bad...tasted like Chicken. Lunch for the two of us was $320, pretty reasonable for L.A.
@@duhni4551 for gold-wrapped borderline-extinction animals served with some exotic plants made by a well-known chef with the whole meal only weighing 4 oz (but it has fancy sauces in a wavy pattern) is a bargain. I mean who wouldn't want to pay that price for such a meal. Lol
LA is insanely expensive and that's l what visitors need to know foremost. Also the level of frustration found in LA is through the roof, and most likely place to encounter that frustration are the roads.
Shit Brent ! That was fkn awesome! Love y’all’s skits!! ❤😂. I envision a TV skit comedy show with you guys and the Cherdleys bunch +Amanda McCants !! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yup it's been a while since my last LA trip, perhaps I'll visit again - and then leave. Sounds crazier than ever- good ole' bat shit crazy LA never disappoints. You're still my favorite nut Nikki! Love your content!
If you're from Ohio, listen up.I lived in L.A. for 34 years and left 17 years ago. I've also spent some time in Ohio. Don't waste your time and money in L.A. or the state of California. There are way too many better places in The U.S. Ohio is one of them!
Lol ive been to a vegan restaurant in LA that has menu items named like this and they encourage you to order it a specific way. Surely this is about that place...
Going into old english was funny. We do this as a inside joke for the musicians. When you speak like that, it makes you better than everyone else. Pompous.
LA is what you make of it. If you’re from Ohio, we got plenty of Buffalo Wild Wings, chain fast food for ya. If you’re coming to live the vegan life, we got you. If you want a $20 burger and $10 valet parking, we got you! I was born in LA and would NEVER go to any place like they’re at. But I would know what it was before I got there.
When I think of LA, I think of taco trucks, Korean food (Ktown), Japanese food (Sawtelle/Little Tokyo), and Chinese food (626). There's plenty of good and new food experiences that aren't ridiculously overpriced.

"Welcome to Canteen Sacred Abundance, my name is Basil" incredible writing
"I'm here to guide you through your sustenance journey" 💀💀💀
"Basil like the herb, or the idiot owner of Fawlty Towers?" 😆
I love how he floated away backwards every time.
In LA it's always some sort of grammatically incorrect spelling of a child's name, i.e., Basyl, Bayzel, Basile, ect.
@@galamander_1327 I noticed that too, it was funny

Most people just walk away 😅
I love Nikki's facial expressions the most 😂😂😂
Haha, this is basically Cafe Gratitude if youre visiting LA and want to experience the hilariousness.
no thanks !
Hey thanks for the reference ! I'll look that place up
Oh God it's exactly what I thought it would be !
Yup yup! Hella expensive, pretentious as fuck…and actually delicious.
There we go I was looking for the Cafe Gratitude comment, was dearly hoping I wouldn’t be the first
My LA experience was roughly drive three hours to go somewhere, then spend two hours looking for parking.
They have perfect weather and a ton of money, and yet they chose to build the biggest car-dependent asphalt wasteland in the world
“F*** LA.” My sentiments exactly and I live there. As usual, Nikki’s facial expressions make the video 👍.
I think restaurant business' in Southern California need to be part of the "price gauging" investigation going on, because they swear they put gold in their food with these F ing prices!!!
also B*** LA! B*** LA! XD .... Go PADRES!
Fuck L.A., good scHoolboy Q song
@@j0shuais B LA?
@@MR-nl8xr Beat LA xD
Throwing hilarious shade on Cafe Gratitude. Love it!
Thanks for pointing out that's a real restaurant, their menus are ridiculous.
"I AM MYSTICAL"
"YO SOY MUCHO"
"I AM CRINGING HARD"
I think that was actually a shot of their menu
at
"Fuck LA, lets go to Chili's"
I am in tune with her spiritual vibrations.
Consistently one of the best comedic actors on the platform. Underrated is an understatement.
agree, for sure
Lol I was in LA had lunch at some trendy place. My burger was $54
The backward walk omg AHAH
"this morrow"
>.

Brent is clearly the one who can keep up with these girls when their skits get truly off the wall.
I love the way Brent retreated each time. Hilarious.
76$ is so accurate 😂😂
“The only thing that guy is going to lead us into is a K-hole” is an underrated line.
It looked like the waiter was rolled away from the table each time he left. 😄
Nah, it was just his source that didn't vibrate in aligment with gravity 😁
"The only thing that guy's going to lead us into is a K hole" lmao!!!
I had look what 'K hole" means.
“forgiveth my friend” 😂😂😂
There's definitely a huge difference living in LA as a So Cal native versus a transplant. Haha!!! Great skit.
That's why LA sits above the San Andreas fault
Technically, to the left of the San Andreas fault. But there are plenty of other faults in LA. Namaste
"Civil War hippy!".. Dyin'..
I moved away from L.A. more than 15 years ago, best decision of my life!
Basil still lives in grandmas basement
Nikki's expressions are too good
1:55-1:59 when the drinks disappear and reappear; that's what the $76 was for lol. I'm from LA and this made my day! 😂
Nice catch.
Man, when the waiter showed up, I just died!! 😂😂
The float away game was tight. 🙂
Totally reminds me of how relieved I am that I left there a few years ago!!!
We need a whole damn show..
"Civil War Hippie" 💀💀💀
The only thing that guys going to lead us into is a k hole
Nikki's facial expressions can't amiss 😂
" yea that's right!! she supports big pharma!!"
Atleast finish the drinks before leaving. It is $76.
I dont think they paid.
I came here to say this!

Welcome to the eatery of culinary enchantment, which jouurney shall thy palet embark upon this glorious day😂
LA; a magical place rent is 2$ a square feet( if your lucky), you pay for parking, and give a 20% tip not because you "need" to
This is so accurate it's even expensive in Alaska due to shipping and no I do not live there.
Outstanding! What writing! Superb! And the performances are top-notch! 🌟
The only time I have ever walked out on a meal was in LA. Two sushi rolls and two beers, over $75.
I ate there once with my girlfriend. Our waiter was Thyme. He recommended the Chiken. Not bad...tasted like Chicken. Lunch for the two of us was $320, pretty reasonable for L.A.
320 for lunch is not reasonable in any place in the world 😂

@@rbrought 😂
Civil war hippies! Her team of writers are top shelf masters.
I am laughing so much.This is actually as funny as "When Friends Give Dating Advice" which i have watched about 20 times
We need to start having a conversation about Nikki's uncle.
Yay Chili's!
3:38 😅 The truth shall set you free!
So, talk like the people in the capitol from The Hunger Games. 😂
Cafe Gratitude ... in Berkeley. Felt the same way, although frankly the food was pretty good.
LA is insanely expensive and that's l what visitors need to know foremost. Also the level of frustration found in LA is through the roof, and most likely place to encounter that frustration are the roads.
I will not stand for any LA slander.
My name is Basil...Dead💀
That man bun broke me 🤣
1:55 - 2:00 the drinks magically disappear and reappear...magical like LA
Shit Brent ! That was fkn awesome! Love y’all’s skits!! ❤😂. I envision a TV skit comedy show with you guys and the Cherdleys bunch +Amanda McCants !! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Top notch stuff Nikki :) Keep it up!
“Let’s go to Chilis” best part of the entire video. Love it
I went to LA once. Never again
Cafe Gratitude lmaooooo
Bwuaaahaahaaa!!! Leaving L.A. is the best thing I've done in my 58 years,
I’m every woman is originally a Chaka khan song, not Whitney Houston.
that is EXACTLY how a civil war hippie would act
Looks like Portland has expanded.
Loveth howeth my spirit essence hath been uplifted this morrow!
So strange to see nikki play a sane character
Baha ide have to leave, “basil” 😂😂😂
EXCEPT FOR 'KOOMIN' 😂😂😂
Nikki is me in almost every blue state
Boston and Denver are pretty chilled out places and they're very blue.
As a person named Basil and wears a man (lower) bun, I feel attacked 😂😂
“It’s all in me” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
See, I love when people say “let’s be ourselves”, then they immediately get talked out of it 😂🤣
They didn't finish their elixirs. What a waste of guava dust.
U three r genius
That was really well done. I do not know how the three of them did not crack up
I avoid California like the plague. Ohio too.
Love the waiter ! Lol I actually understand him lol 😂
That was a good one. 😊
This woman is the best
pidgeon call is the only way to begin a conversation
Noooo, first finish the elixirs!
Hahhaaahahaaa because this is so apropos!! Cafe gratitude 101

76 dollars for two drinks and a soup 😂😂
And that was the special too.
I’ve never been to California.
Oh, Cafe Gratitude.. lol

2:13 lol 😂
Yooooo how much is a bit of guava dust 😂 is that like a pinch
This is not realistic. They'd be fighting homeless crackheads the entire time
When people live in LA it means they made it, just look at the guys on skid row
“Only the source knows what your truly desire…”. I’d walk out and go to chick-fil-a right there.
Shut up and sit down 😂
Love that stuff❤❤
It was the taxes that made it so revolting.
U got that coming!
“…where people listen to Whitney Houston.” Facts. GO BUCKS.
1:54 Where are the drinks?
