The chemistry of not letting a bargain get away.
"I love you"
"I undersatand"
oh man..
+bayyla Actually, many marriages become like that couple years down the road with no work from either spouse.
@@darkrood yeah not immediately
😂😂😂😂😂
True love.
"When you see a bargain, do you let it get away? Somebody else buy. Bargain. Bargain"

I'm more of an internal laugher but you got a sound with this. Many thanks
Misquote.
"Pride and Prejudice“
surely?
@@gollumtheartisticnewt1028 Hah no, but it ought to have been.
So romantic! LOL
When you see funny comment, you keep scrolling? You like. Very funny. Very funny.
I honestly think this is the best piece of unintentional comedy the BBC has ever released
It's way up there!
@@nigelwilliams9307 carry on getting married in Thai land regardless
@@patocallaghan3648 Getting married is rarely a good idea, anywhere in the world. Real men choose to stay single. I have never regretted not marrying any of my former girlfriends. Carry On Getting Married In Thailand would have made a great film.
Reminds me of these morons who give money to people they have never met on the internet
Oh it's intentional, at least on Louis side.
When you see a bargain do you let it get away? Is probably the moat romantic thing I have ever heard
Haha......yep then he said.........." somebody else buy...."............Classic !
It’s like someone has written a. Comedy sketch.
I wonder how much he paid
Raoul moat?
Its just unfortunate that he missed out on the "buy 1 get 1 free" deal at the weekend
"I wasn't sure of what I had just seen, but I thought it was time for me to leave."
Hahahahahahaha
From all the situations Louis has been through, this was the one were he decided to say that lol
Knew*
Best part by far 😂
Before the screaming begins!
The combination of self confidence and complete lack of self awareness of this man is frighteningly hilarious
It’s very common too, when you go to Thailand and see some small thais with an old white man across from the ATM you know what’s going on.
Bargains everywhere they say
@@rossydee What about an old thai woman and young white kids? oh
I love how he addresses Louis as if Louis was foreign
0:22 Louis' I Speak english! ' jajaja
That's common when addressing someone after being in a non English speaking environment for a while.
I see it a lot working in a hotel. It's trying to include people who maybe don't speak as much english
Its always hilarious though. People trying to put on the accent of other nationality as a courtesy almost to try and help them understand better,
maybe missing out a few words making the whole thing completely innaccurate...
Have to says, it is probably not the best way to help someone with their english
Hahaha
I hear that a lot from older people in Australia, when they are introducing friends from Asia, or even talking about them. They fall into a simplified, slower, slightly louder version of English. It's weird, and can sound a little patronising, but I think it mostly comes from the desire to not confuse guests who don't have English as a first language. It's funny how it gets generalised onto native English speakers like this chappie did to Louis.
My friend emigrated to China 22 years ago, and after about 6 years he was talking to me on the phone slowly in broken English. Most bizarre.
He is the perfect mixture of terrifying and hilarious! That bit where he emerges with the candle is utter madness 😆
And the scrunched up, used tissue in his other hand as he presents the candle just adds to the romance..
He looks like a lunatic
@zak looks like a serial killer the way he stares at her 👀
@@FlameFlickers and the cigarette hangin off his lip as he's talking hahaha
Those eyes... Those deep dark soulless eyes framed in those hideous serial killer glasses. That's when I said to myself "get the fuck out of there now".
lost it when he came in with the candle.
AllsortPassport hysterics 😂😂😂
We are now one - 50/50 - together - one - ok? Not two people - one - one person - ok?
Joey Bodnar He's the epitome of creepy!😣
AllsortPassport I thought the same thing ! Creasing 😂😂
Hahahahahaha. So true
1:59 the cut from "he take too much medicine" to Lake Palmer walking out with that smile and a candle is pure genius
😂
This is Vic Reeves' best character ever. - Even had Louis fooled!
Good one, did you see the "house of fools" show vic n bob did?
Kinky john
"I wasn't quite sure what I had just seen, but I knew it was time for me to leave." I love that line!
The "flame of love." Awesome.
Quench not, the flame imperishable.
haha
Brilliant! Like an aggressive, chain smoking, Alan Partridge.
hahahahaha golden
lol....I wonder what she thinks about the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre.
CANCEL
REPLY
class mate 😂back of the net!
Brutal, and hilarious
Ha ha. spot on mate
I love how he calls his wife infront of her face a "bargain"
Someone else might buy 😂
The romantic talk with the lit cigarette glued to his lips, really set the ambience for such a wondrous occasion. 😂
Yes, he really knows how to charm, doesn’t he.
@@nicolafigini6346 That's what I'm thinking. I never realised just how important it is for a woman to have exhaled cigarette smoke blowing in her face whilst listening to the romantic tones of her partner.
@@pauldg837 Think of this video as a tutorial.
@@nicolafigini6346 Am completely open to improving. Thank you. 😂
@@pauldg837 I don't know where, but I saw an old cigarette ad which apparently encouraged you to blow cigarette smoke into your lover's face. Once upon a time, when everyone smoked, I think it really was considered romantic.
Louis deserves an Oscar for keeping a straight face on this one.
Did you buy any bitcoin when you wrote this ?
@@duds1916 😅😅
"it's been like a fairytale".
yeah... grimm
oi oi didnt know john cooper clarke had a youtube account
Nah, just nicking his jokes!

FAIRLY TALE.......FAIRLY TALE.....WHY DONT YOU RISSEN COOKIE BOY.....
Just awful
unheld cig hanging out his mouth while he makes his romantic speech - pure gold
The whispered “he takes medicine” and then “I love you 👀 I need you 👀 I want you ok??👀” this is GOLD🤣😭
Meatloaf song
@@charleswhite758 1 out of 100 ain't bad
Well I will tuning in next week with this great acting, way better than Emmerdale
WE... HAVE... VERY.... ACTIVE... TWO... DAYS.
I speak English.
Oh, Sorry.
hahahahahahahahaha
You know he's saying "hectic" not active. Do you speak English?
Hectic
Steve Bennett lol 😂
Mr Stag hes speaking so slowly 😆
"I left Thailand felling confused" This episode was of full of gems like this.
Don’t we all?!
Was "Confused" the name of the Thai lady then ??
My new catch phrase for life lol
“When you see a bargain, do you let IT get away ? ... somebody else buy” - Words to live by ❤️
a connection of the mind!!!
@@NKNeptune Bargain.
Mind dick connection
Very David Brent-like observation. “If I see a bargain, I’ve got the money. That is a metaphor. I would never pay for it.”
I wonder if he got a refund after the divorce lol
"I love you"
"I understand, yes"
Beautiful
🤣🤣
He lit that cigarette off their love candle. LOL. I couldn't wait to see the comments section on this one.
Hahaha
This guy is funny, creepy, cringey yet mildly likeable.
'The Englishman'
He's very likeable imo
Bow tie says a lot.
@@chill579 meaning
This guys like a real life version of David Brent 😂
2021 and still watching.
May the flame of our love never die
This always cracks me up , whenever I'm feeling low. may the flame of his love never die
I bet he got a ribbing for that down the pub when he got home.
Out if all the bits the was the most batshit crazy
“he not licsh man” … end of deal
"Chemistry, chemistry. Meeting of minds."
Did anyone else think of David Brent from The Office when he said that? The only thing missing was him interlocking his fingers together haha
dude yes so much...
meeting of minds yeah..2 cabbages
@@cp9105 more like brian potter
50 / 50
I wasn't quite sure what i'd just seen, but i knew it was time for me to leave.
Austin Moore 😂 😂 😂
I was reading ur comment exactly when Louis said the sentence. Classic
The perfect Louis Theroux quote.
I bet the production team couldn’t believe their luck when they stumbled across Lake. Imagine the laughs at the end of filming each day.
The guy is weird but he did pick a age appropriate women and does seem to genuinely want and want to give love
He wants a woman who will do anything , anything . These guys are very wierd and the women are so poor they would feck anything for a potato.
probably still 20-25 years older than her
everyone seems weird to everyone this days especially you Westerners.... labelling someone weird is such a normal thing now that its become normal....so calling someone weird is as same as calling someone normal....
@@vasisphu3239 it's true that we call everyone weird, and to lesser degree "creepy", but I myself am seen as weird and don't mind other weird people.
@@bevs9995hell, if an 80 year old dates a 30+ year old, a 30 year old is old enough to know who they are and what they want
You couldn't write the stuff that happens in Louis Theroux's documentaries. He seriously needs more recognition for his work.
This was the height of his tv career, when he acted like an ingenue discovering the big bad world, then he became all preachy and judgemental, and boring. The rot set in when he visited the neo-nazis, and felt he had to show disapproval, fair enough, but it destroyed his delightfully innocent character. The line I remember most vividly, which made me almost die laughing was during his UFO weekend when he grabbed a UFO "gun" and asked the UFO-nut if he should "cover him" while he retrieved his own "UFO-gun" from his car.
@@charleswhite758 couldn’t agree more.
@@amboround Of course normal people would disapprove of Neo-Nazis. But normal people would also disapprove of swingers, UFO-nuts, hard-core porn actors, pick-up artists, prostitutes in brothels, etc, all of whom Theroux did programmes on, none of whom he disapproved of (on screen at least).
He had the ability to suspend judgement on anyone, which was rather charming. With the Neo-Nazi programme he reverted to being a normal judgemental and preachy person, so lost all his special charm.
He could have handled it as Borat did with a group of Americans who also didn't seem too enamoured with Jewish people. He egged them on, and laughed with them, whilst laughing at them at the same time.
Golden. Only thing that would have made this scene better is if he would have lit his cigarette with the candle before giving it to her.
marcanta hahahaha 😂
marcanta Amazing 😂😂😂
Genius.
Brilliant! 👌😂
I was hoping Luis would blow it out.
Nothing says I love you more than walking in with a shitty candle you've just robbed while having a lit bine in your hand and telling a woman you've know for 38 mins that you are 1 😂😂😂😂
Hahaha man this is classic
One of the best bits of TV ever made, it's got everything 🙌
"I love you." ... "I understand."
"I wasn't quite saw what I'd just seen... but I knew it was time for me to leave."
dont forget "not a lich man"
Lich man take too many medicine
"I speak English". Louis' funniest line ever. I like Lake though. He's a believer. Somebody else buy.
-"I love you."
-----------------"I understand, yes."
🤣🤣🤣
_"Meeting of MINDS"_
_"May the flame of our love never die"_ on a 6 inch candle.
😂😂
To be fair I doubt he had anything else that long to offer her.
"I love you"
"I understand....."
I almost cried at how romantic that exchange was.
I was in a good mood by myself then these two walk by madly in understanding and heaven knows I'm miserable now.
I love it when Lake talks to Louis at 0:17 in broken English and Louis just says "I speak English". haha
2:43 "I love you."
"I understand. Yes."
So touching to call your wife a 'bargain'
I watch this clip every 6 months or so. Suspect I will continue to do so for the rest of my life. Best ever british comedy moment.
Are you also a flower without water?
I thought it was only me! We will take this journey together my brother
Me too.
They're a lovely couple, you're the one who who is sad.
@@2malachi You do realise the outcome I take it?
The full episode ends with a screen frame saying "The marriage lasted 8 days". Epic.
that was that other creepy dude with the big nose and hat, this guy is still with her, saying both are in love just waiting for a visa for the UK, semi cute.
documentaryheaven.com/thai-brides-louis-theroux/
Right at the end. It does not say this marriage lasted eight days.
@@Sasha-zh6tp no it was only four days 555
She was a bigamist. She was already married to 2 other European men and after I days Lake's Visa ran out and he had to go back to the UK alone. So yes, it lasted only 8 days. Poor guy
Well that answered my next question.
This guy should have his own show on comedy gold
Probably the best episode ever
"Bargain."
This could be from I'm Alan Partridge
Classic Partridge.
Back of the net!
Ting Tong. Where are the comments
"May the flame of our love never die. I love you, I need you, I want you" XD
i understand
So freaking cringe I nearly died
This video is the gift that keeps on giving.
“I love you”
“I understand. Yes”
well as long as he's not a lynch man
One of my favourite pieces of TV of all time. Something magical came together in this one episode.
One of the greatest bits of television of all time 🤣🤣🤣
I remember this well - Lake was like a Steve Coogan character. Brilliant when Louis asks what was it and Lake (with hand motions) says 'Chemistry, Chemistry....meeting of minds'. Very funny.
Hahaha "I love you." "...I understand"
When he walks in with candle ..😂😂.. comedy gold
May the flame of our love never die
Lake you are a comedy legend
The smile on lakes face when he comes in with the candle - hes finally happy.
"I wasn't quite sure what I'd just seen, but I knew it was time for me to leave."
Thanator Rider YOU HAVE TO GO NOW
If you see a bargain do you let it get away, somebody else buy.
Who said romance is dead?
😂
He literally thought he was buying a pet or a cow or something.
Legend! 👌🏼
This video really inspired me to shop around before buying a wife. Thanks for the upload 👍
Did you get a bargain?
What makes his act of giving her a candle even more beautifully romantic is the lit chest buster he's got going. The smoke of it almost hides the raw fear in her eyes.
Louis you legend!
Dead Farang Ohhhhh. It's the dead farang! Love you're videos mate 👍 Infact gonna watch some now
@SayWhat IThink Thanks SWIT 👍
dead farang your a bloody legend mate
Where is dead farang gone we miss you
This is f_____g hilarious 😂
2:36 "we are now one" as he holds up 2 fingers
The bit where he says "I need you, I love you" makes him send like Old Gregg
Literally word for word
Hahaha "I'm Old Greeeegg"
I would be throwing into the sick bag at that.
Louis face when Lake hands over the flame of love!!! Priceless!
This guy is clearly where Ricky Gervai gets all his character inspirations from
Comedy gold!!!
I researched this recently to see what happened.
As far as I can tell, they weren’t actually officially married as Lake didn’t have proof of his last divorce. They were given a blessing and he intended to marry her fully when she came to England. She was denied a Visa as it turned out she was already married to an English man. After spending thousands sending her money and gifts, she dumped him 8 months after this was filmed for a rich Belgian man.
Last thing I can find is from about 8 years ago when Lake was alone and quite unwell. Not sure what has happened since.
Thank you, Loremaster
:-(
Apparently he later made an appearance on trisha due to the thai bride making it off with another man, but its been removed from youtube and has eluded me since. It'd calm me right down if I could find it.
+speer pls someone
I remember it
Pretty sure it's on facebook on the 'Lake Palmer Appreciation Society' page.
Did you ever find it?
I found it here: ruclips.net/video/vHYZW_nJNYw/видео.html
“I wasn’t sure what I’d just seen but I knew it was time for me to leave” 😂😂😂
“not lich man”
“not a rich man?”
“yea, not a lich man”
The most terrifying thing I would ever hear is perhaps someone wanting to marry me who believes that we are one person, rather than me having my own identity.
A lot of people have left Thailand feeling confused
I’m confused watching this and I’m no where near Thailand !
The cigarette dangling from his gob killed me 😂
Utterly vile,I feel sorry for anyone who has to be around him
@@ArtVandelayOfficial I kinda like the guy!
@@NedwardApp Watch the full episode,so many red flags
He's a psycho unfortunately
@@ArtVandelayOfficial I have watched it many times my friend, I'm well aware of any red flags.
I could watch this guy all day
Lake is not only handsome and romantic, but also extremely charismatic.
Time to increase the medication and book in for the annual eye test I reckon 😄
@@vtee361 hahaha
And handsome. Yes, like a donkeys ass.
He takes medicine? Many, many, too much medicine
@@EireAbu 😄😆🤣
She got a good catch he’s like a funny friend where it’s always a good time when they’re around
WHAT HAVE I JUST WATCHED LOL WONDEROUS
her fake smile kills me
Her smile looked more of an embarrassing smile. She didn't know what to make of him. Even though the language barrier, she seemed a bit freaked out.
@@Aerojet01 no that was a fuck what am I doing smile but she seen a British visa so took the chance
I totally agree 😂
give the dog a bone 😆😆😆😆😆
ALAN PARTRIDGE!!!
"I left Thailand feeling confused" 🤣
"Let's get down to it baby!"
"Yes."
There marriage will only work as long as the guy wont skip his medicine
It lasted 8 days
"When you see a bargain, do you let it get away"
The very next minute:
"It's chemistry, meeting of minds..."
“Not sure what I’d just seen but I knew it was time for me to leave” ....... too right! Louis is a legend.
If you see a bargain do you let it get away?
+Brad A somebody else buy..
Brad A Lmfao my favourite bit
But these guys are so lucky to be in that kind of real love
Andy T lmao hes like" I bought her cheap"
2:08 The most beautiful romantic thing I've ever seen. So touching!
This so unintentionally funny: Louis reaction to 'getting down to it baby' and when he says 'I speak English...' and 'He's nah ah lish mun' ... priceless. Then the candle bollocks, oh my word!
Wow, they have such great chemistry!
I've watched this clip many times (bizarrely) and conclude that there is something both cripplingly tragic and of massive dark comedy value about the scene. You really couldn't write this stuff! Come on Theroux - give us some more of the same??
It's actually cruel. The BBC are making fun of a poor strange man, and the desperation of another human.
No, he's a serious adult now, that was when he was young and innocent, and keen to find out about the world without passing judgement. Can never go back and do it again with such freshness. Reminds me of Voltaire's Candide.
When Louis made his best stuff...get back to this Louis - we want more classic Theroux...And less LA BS...
That ‘hello!’ was very Partridge-esque 😂
This man is the pinnacle of Louis therouxs career
and that's why they call me terry tibbs
