the brother sister coffee ad is actually a skit. It continues with the parents confronting them for fucking and the reason why he was gone in the first place is because they kicked himn out
It's incredible writing like this that makes me watch every one of his videos at least twice, just to be sure a joke didn't fly over my head the first time.
Starbucks tried to open in Australia and failed after a few years. After WW2, a lot of immigrants from Italy, Greece and Spain moved here and brought over espresso machines. Coffee and tea houses had existed before, and quickly adopted the Mediterranean style of coffee drinking. These days, it's pretty rare to see chain coffee shops here. Small independent cafes are on every street, they're absolutely everywhere. It's amusing that Australia has a really sophisticated cafe/bistro culture when we're not exactly known for being sophisticated or high brow. I really missed Australia's cafe culture when I lived in the UK.
I wish we had more local cafes in Canada. Instead you have the choice between the scalding hot mud of Starbucks or Tim's, or the somewhat bearable McDs or Second Cup. And that's about it, if you're lucky.
I actually thought a lot of the UK coffee taste burnt or like cigarette buds... there’s a lot of Costa shops there and I genuinely rather have Starbucks. My family is middle eastern and we usually drink Turkish coffee or tea. Just for reference.
@@amyraperry8851 somehow in Europe Costa took over all the countries that don’t have their own coffee tradition. In those that do have one, they don’t have a chance.
@@ImranZakhaev9 it's really sad to see coffee chains taking over. Their coffee is terrible an overpriced. In Australia they are very much in the minority. Usually (well, like me) on my way to the Metro station, I drop by a hole in the wall cafe (I think it's an old railway signal box that has been converted to a coffee window) and I know my barista and what time I'm normally there. I grab my coffee and then jump on the train. Starbucks is going to try and open again here, but only in areas with lots of American, Chinese or SE Asian tourists. The locals hate Starbucks and want it kept out of the country.
@Angelina Ramponi Energy drinks are just full of sugar so they may taste sweeter which is enough for a lot of people. I am in no way praising them though, they're much worse for you than coffee from the sugar content alone nevermind the caffeine.
ah yes McDonalds coffee. Famous for a time when they decided to heat the coffee up to extremely dangerous temperatures and give them to people in cars.
@Iker González Sánchez The defamation campaign probably started after she actually won the law suit that somewhat shared the probability of winning the lottery.
Anyone else think that the actress in that ad was a young Ashley Johnson? Idk I just found that interesting, first place I remember her acting in was the waitress in the first Avengers movie.
I wish this guy does audio books. Highly enjoyable English, perfect pace and keeps me focused on the current subject by dropping unexpected savage burns 👍🏼👍🏼
They are successful in this. It’s not even a luxury item. The only thing they sell worth buying is the nitro cold brew because you can’t make that at home. Actually you can but few would see it as worth the bother.
They sell brands. Lesser known brands might produce better coffee objectively, but people are more inclined to drink starbucks because well... it's starbucks
He has great chemistry with Internet Historian, but his channel's schtick is "that thing you think is good (especially if it's the result of capitalist endeavor)? It's ACTUALLY BAD. MEMES Y'ALL" which is the kind of lazy, blase contrarianism I had outgrown before I graduated college back in Two Thousand and Fucking Eight In this very video he unironically parroted the fake history that is "lol medieval people only drank ale because the water was full of shit" which is a crock of shit
Yeah, those sugar bombs you get at Starbucks, is barely coffee. And no one drinks normal black coffee at Starbucks either. Even people who like it, cause it's ridiculously expensive.
@@kjullthedemon my friend bought a dark coffee from starbucks and he let me have a taste, that shit was so sugary it tasted like it had milk in it lmao
"Your coffee's undrinkable!" "...That's pretty harsh-" "Well, so's your coffee!" 9-1-1 I NEED TO REPORT A MURDER Like, sweet damn, she got roasted harder than her coffee
The notable omission of the origin of coffee in Ethiopia was a little surprising. There are conflicting accounts of whether the Ethiopians consumed coffee as a drink (before the Arabs) or simply consumed the berries but in terms of historical origins, I think it's worth mentioning. Other than that, great video!
Coffee is originated in Ethiopia and sprade to the Arabic world The name of coffee is even comes from the place where coffee found and is called "kefa" it one of the region in Ethiopia.
Even the legend around the wonders fo the coffee berry is actually wholesome: It is said that the first guy who tried those berries observed some old goats he owned acting all crazy and jumping all over the place when they chewed those berries. He was like: hello new favourite drug!
“ and now the holiest city in Islam is home to 9 Starbucks locations.” I don’t know why but I couldn’t stop laughing at that joke and had to pause the video.
This was your best video yet, and that's saying something! I see you've got soda in the works, but you know you have to do tea now, yeah? Actually, that reminds me of a book I read once, something like "The Six Drinks That Changed the World". Beer, wine, liquor, tea, coffee and soda (although they actually just talked about Coke).
For real though, that McDonalds advert has a point. I can think of at least 3 coffee places I've been to where the menu was completely unreadable. I don't mean like "Oh wow, there's a lot of choices", I mean like, there's a chalkboard 15 feet behind the counter, each item written in cursive, with no apparent ryhme or reason to where anything is. "Oh, this is sorted by the geographic region it came from." "Oh, we categorize our _art_ through the feelings they evoke. Our goal is to deconstruct what it means to consume caffeine." "Each of our items is named after a local who died at least 10-15 years ago. There are 8,000 items on our menu. The description for each is written in 8 point font under the 25 point text." I typically just end up asking "Big coffee with mocha?" and completely ignore whatever scribbles are slapped across the stupid, illegible board. McDonald's sucks at a lot of things really, really badly, but at the very least they have a human-readable menu.
Idk, McDonald's is pretty fine in most things but coffee isn't one. Idk how they violated these beans but they tasted like someone had poured acid on them.
McDonald's iced coffee is also pretty alright. I wouldn't go to them exclusively for coffee, but if I'm wanting some cheap breakfast? Fuck it, I'll go to McDonald's and get breakfast with coffee. Their regular coffee alone though is pretty bitter.
@@fluffynator6222 that probably means they use very cheap coffee. Likely harvested before the beans were fully matured, that's why it tastes like that.
Oooh this post hits hard for me. Ive never been a coffee drinker, and when I did start it was (I guess crappy) coffee made by the worker who knew how to or wanted to work the coffee maker. So the only coffee I was getting for at least a decade was from office coffee, starbucks or mcdonalds. A few years ago while getting my car fixed I wanted some coffee, no starbucks around and mcdonalds wasn't far to walk, but a local coffee shop was closer. I walked in and what did I find going into my first local coffee shop...a large chalkboard behind the counter with each item written in different color cursive, items Ive never heard of, most of it I could barely read, and a line forming behind me (it was around lunch time). So I just ordered my basic when I did start drinking coffee, a regular coffee black three sugars, and moved on.
@VaderxG What? Ummm that wasn't my point, and please don't think I'm disparaging the coffee scene. My point (and sentiment) was that I never was or have been a coffee scene person, so going into the coffee scene was always strange to me as an outsider. But no I don't like my coffee black 3 sugars, I'm just used to it (remember the crappy office coffee I said I drank for years). I would drink a mocha sweet whatever if I took my time looking at the menu, but I personally think its rude to holdup the line for those who do know what they want, so coffee black it is. Not the end of the world. But that is my point, I haven't learned the lingo because its not my scene and I don't think it will ever be. So I'm coming from an outsiders point of view who only drank coffee at work, with coworkers, or not at all. You know how I would order at Starbucks? (note I would always be with a real coffee drinker/coworker). I would ask what they're getting, say "oh that sounds good, how much is that," then I would say "heres X dollars could you order two"? Done! Again I'm not disparaging the coffee scene, I just found the post hit close as an outsider who wasn't or isn't an avid coffee drinker. So easy internet dude, your coffee scene is safe with me or whatever.... 😐

Additional Point on coffee in the civil war: Northern soldiers would trade it for tobacco with southern ones when they were on picket duty (wikiped and my old history teacher.) Coffee and cigarettes really were our national Pacifiers.
A good, fitting advice for everyone dealing with somebody else would be "Don't push it, mate. Otherwise that coffee is gonna start tasting like fiberglass"
Fun fact: Ethiopia discovered coffee. If it wasn’t for Ethiopia there would be no starbucks and you’d have no morning cup of coffee. No more crediting Italy or America for coffee. Ethiopia invented it and the world needs to know this 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹

@@MrHaugs no,not yet. But i am a mega fan - so am gassed for it. If you like him, you should check out this photographer called Frank Kunert. similar bleak/absurdist vibes.
Yeah, that was the line that made me upvote the video. I feel even more Union and hipster pride in my soy-laden French press concoctions. One thing I still wonder: why do we call them French presses when the only one I saw during a month all over France was in a Starbucks? They're all over Montreal, but La Presse is already a major newspaper there.
Amateurs. I like my coffee white, *pure* with extra cream so much cream in fact that it's no longer black, I personally like the *superior* taste of white coffee.
Also how did coffee suddenly become filtered back in the day? Surely they had to make it with water and if they were all drinking alcohol cos the water was polluted I dont get how the magically had water for coffee?
The same way they made ale/beer. They heated up the grains or beans in boiling water. The alcohol's primary function was reducing the growth of new bacteria.
I am never more saddened then after enjoying some of the best content on all of RUclips just to look at your view counts and see them under even a thousand.
Its definitely just a matter of time before he blows up and is crossing that million subscriber threshold. ....but will he remember us?

Picket duty between the North and South was surprisingly civil. On some occasions, they would even play cards with each other. Crazy stuff.
Me, a proud Italian: "What is this brown water they're drinking during the whole video?"
i think it's tea
A good, fitting advice for everyone dealing with somebody else would be "Don't push it, mate. Otherwise that coffee is gonna start tasting like fiberglass"
As a Brazillian caffeine junky, i declare both thumbs up for this enlightening content
Fun fact: Ethiopia discovered coffee. If it wasn’t for Ethiopia there would be no starbucks and you’d have no morning cup of coffee. No more crediting Italy or America for coffee. Ethiopia invented it and the world needs to know this 🇪🇹🇪🇹🇪🇹
I got a Starbucks ad before, middle and end of this video.
well did it work? did you buy a Starbucks after?
@@bee_creature no sir
@@irishjoe2941 i can respect that
@Bell damn
Your channel leaves me chuffed to bits. Carry on.
Those coffe ads from the 50s are so ”old american domestic culture” that it’s painfull
Would you be willing to make an episode on iced tea? Because I seem to have an addiction to the drink
I don't remember this episode of Buffy... 7:00
That was genius editing at the end. Talking about companies diluting a product then immediately it cuts into an ad. And that smile after, you’re funny dude. Good job, Subscribed!
There’s an intersection in sf where there’s a Starbucks on 3 out of the 4 corners.
Great vid. Nicely put across. Loved the ‘along with your last shred of credibility’.
you are behind the youtube-channel "Film Qualia"? What. I love your analysis on Roy Andersson's movies!
I am, ah thanks dude!
@@OrdinaryThings Have you seen the new film from him yet?
@@OrdinaryThings Btw an idea for a topic: Depression. A increasing ordinary thing
@@MrHaugs no,not yet. But i am a mega fan - so am gassed for it. If you like him, you should check out this photographer called Frank Kunert. similar bleak/absurdist vibes.
@@OrdinaryThings thank you! I will do that!
Your scripts are amazing my friend. A lot of reading between the lines to discover the double meanings! I like that.
Confederate soldiers being off put by the mixing process... I see what you did there. Sneaky.
I love my coffee black - no sugar, no milk, no nothing.
Yeah, that was the line that made me upvote the video. I feel even more Union and hipster pride in my soy-laden French press concoctions.
One thing I still wonder: why do we call them French presses when the only one I saw during a month all over France was in a Starbucks? They're all over Montreal, but La Presse is already a major newspaper there.
Amateurs. I like my coffee white, *pure* with extra cream so much cream in fact that it's no longer black, I personally like the *superior* taste of white coffee.
I put milk in my coffee because it's less likely to stain my teeth. Well that's what I tell myself. I might just be a little bitch
@@Kier4n99 Just eat a spoonful of marmite every time you eat something sugary and tasty. This process should retain your masculinity intact.
I like my coffee like I like my women black, sweet, and hot as hell
I love these channels and this guy
Holy shit, that's Giles from Buffy!
you’re my new favorite youtuber dude thanks for the videos
Also how did coffee suddenly become filtered back in the day? Surely they had to make it with water and if they were all drinking alcohol cos the water was polluted I dont get how the magically had water for coffee?
The water was heated, which killed off bacteria in the water
The same way they made ale/beer. They heated up the grains or beans in boiling water. The alcohol's primary function was reducing the growth of new bacteria.
@@galactic-hamster7043 Why didn't they just heat the water up before?
I've seen some of your videos by now m8. But seeing this, i love em.
Keep making great vids m8
Cheers
"It's undrinkable!"
"That's pretty harsh..."
"Well, so's your coffee!"
absolute madlad 🤣
It was savage
Thank you so much for your Videos. This one is my feelgood video for a year now and man its realy good.
I am never more saddened then after enjoying some of the best content on all of RUclips just to look at your view counts and see them under even a thousand.
Azriel Satan he will get his break. He keeps giving the best content.
Its definitely just a matter of time before he blows up and is crossing that million subscriber threshold.
....but will he remember us? The ordinary fans from way back???
....Then again, having a million subscribers is pretty EXTRAordinary! Maybe then.... EXTRAORDINARY THINGS! a NEW channel from the Ordinary Things Guy! You might remember him from "The Moon Song" and wearing a tweed suit jacket to the beach.
I love seeing these comments. Dude is killing it now.
"flicking it's bean" .... Wine came out of my nose.
“It wasn’t until the 1950s...”
I feel like the world didn’t start until that decade
I like that this video comes with an ad for somewhere I could buy coffee near me, as though I don't always have at least three bags on hand
Also I just recently learned about the original version of chocolate that was supposed to have to been consumed with human blood or achiote substitute
This video made me subscribe. Such thorough and witty
Theres nothing like drinking coffee on the toilet in the morning
I've been drinking coffee for the better half of 15 years. Never had a cup on the shitter. Tomorrow morning, that changes.
Think I found my new fave RUclips channel . Funny funny guy, and informative .
Fun fact: coffee was actually introduced to England before tea.
I absolutely love that Ordinary Things picked up on America’s Best Aerobic Athletes and the music!!! Oh, I dance to that song everyday! I just don’t get the coffee craze
Well, this was a history lesson I didn’t think I’d ever need but now I’ve gotten and enjoyed it
Best channel on youtube. Please keep going! I need more.
I subscribed on the spot upon hearing the “you mean your last shred of credibility” jab towards Colbert.
Such an underrated channel
Big Upp!! I love your wit and eloquent descriptions, please keep ripping these companies/industries - if you haven't do Amazon!
Every day, as I’m drinking my sixth coffee of the day, a truth filled with regret looms in the back of my head.
That I’m just drinking away the inevitable and dreaded anxiety crash in the evening lol
The writing on every video is so good. Keep it coming
