It's like twice a month, that's not *not* often. Perfectly reasonable schedule at a decent frequency considering the idea, scripting, and acting. Now someone like Jontron? That's not often.
This was amazing, but also…the ending just…wow. Yep, this is why I follow you. You make really funny parodies and comedy sketches, and always put a twist on them at the end…
Now someone make an edited clip where the speed of the video slows down every time someone says "Not so fast!" It'll be the length of a feature-length film or possibly a whole tv-series
It’s always nice seeing everyone being so wonderful to one another and handing over both the idol and the gun every time. True and honorable gentlemen the British are.
I was actually expecting the local guide to "not so fast" him at the end, revealing himself as the true villain all along. Especially since he was holding a baguette, and baguettes are French.
The trope I _can_ get enough of is when character A is explaining to character B why they believe character C is guilty of something. It almost always follows this pattern: A: "I think C is the one behind this." B: "That's ridiculous! How could you even think that?" A: "He barely ate anything yesterday." B: "What does that prove? If you're trying to convince me that C is doing this, it's gonna take more than--" A: "That's not all. I was outside his room last night and I heard someone snoring." B: "Lots of people snore. If you're trying to convince me that C is doing this, it's gonna take more than--" A: "He was doing laundry this morning." B: "It's his turn on the chore wheel! If you're trying to convince me that C is doing this, it's gonna take more than--" A: "Also I saw him doing the thing and I have a well-lit 4K video of him doing the thing." B: "We have to stop him!" Character A always sorts the evidence by convincingness, in ascending order. Dude, use descending!
That twist at the end... as an anthropologist I can vouch for its historical accuracy. But to be honest I also expected a Nazi-party to not-so-fast blackthorn.
Very good. Another one to watch over and over and still laugh at on the twentieth viewing. We're having a severed head poetry contest over on loremen by the way.😊

Omg, lol.
I feel sorry for aspiring young actors, trying to make it in the movies in a time when ABK is playing literally every single character in everything.
They weren't so fast, and ABK had got all the parts by the time anyone else showed up at the casting.
Seems like the British Museum managed to edge its way past ABK in casting, though.
ScarJo has to do something in her spare time!
No black actors....just an observation, 'not attempting to embarrass or cancel anyone!

This definitely puts a different spin on the hide-and-seek The State Archives under the Danish and Prussian Crown had in the 1860s.

The British Museum has traditionally operated under the “Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers” modus operandi.
Yeah, well, being Danish and all, they probably learned it from us, sorry 'bout that - we really should have minded our manners back then...
not so fast… IT’S THE BRITISH MUSEUM WITH A GUN!

Me too! Damn British museums!
I really thought that the Generically Foreign Local Guide would be the twist but noo.. Always the British Museum with a gun.
I'm very glad I wasn't drinking anything, because I feel sure I'd have ruined my laptop if I had been when I got to the end.

I hate how sweet pickles were the deciding factor and the decision WASN'T to immediately throw it away. Everyone knows you go dill or not at all.

Never realised how strange the expression 'not so fast' is imagine saying not so quick and you see how silly it sounds.
"A trifle slower, Prof. McGuffin!"
Avoid being so hasty with your actions!
In some old books there is "Not so hasty!"
"not so fast" sounds like something an average villain would say
"not so quick" sounds more like Fanny Hill's line
Little did they know that beyond the Gates of the Sun King was a stockpile of more than enough Ham & Pickle sandwiches for everyone to share
