To the classier elements of british society, that IS what an epic rant is. Measured, well-reasoned, articulate, and with a touch of understated absurdism.
I had a hassle at USA airport security with Marmite when they would not believe it was not a meat product.Fortunately, it is now available in grocery stores in my area in The Woodlands Texas. Yorkshire teabags too.
@@anneroy4560I have only ever brought salted butter (spreadable is best, otherwise the bread gets completely mullered unless you take normal butter out of the fridge well in advance) We use it whether it's jam on toast or bacon butties (sandwiches), also mustn't forget chip butties as well. Happily I'm the only person in our house who likes marmite!! No need to share!!!
We’re Canadian and we buy Marmite at the SuperStore here! I made sure to stock up on it during Covid. We got to know about it via British friends who turned our family on to it. Our children loved it growing up as well! Mind you, my husband’s Dad was Welsh and his Mum was from Newfoundland so perhaps that explains it!
My parents were from the UK and I grew up in Canada, being fed Marmite. I then gave it to my own children. It is readily available in the area where I live. It was our peanut butter. You need very little, just a smear on bread. A jar lasts a long time.
HA HA I LOVE Bill Nighy...the man is a legend!! :D :D You couldn't fail to be entertained in his company!! :D And I'm with him - I love marmite!!! :D :D
Me too ! I've been stopped UK side and had Marmite confiscated .. I've been interrogated in the past USA side over Marmite , and it's almost impossible to explain to Homelamd Security what Marmite is , and why it comes in a jar the shape of a bomb ! I think they understand now with so many Brits entering America with not only Marmite and Yorkshire tea , but also Digestive biscuits , Olde English Marmalade , Blackcurrant jam and Ribena !!
Good one Mr Nighy. I am Australian, but I was raised on Marmite (although I think it was the NZ Marmite) I came to Vegemite much later. I am happy with either.
With him every step of the way. Lived in a number of different countries (other than Blighty) over the past decade, Marmite & Yorkshire Tea went where I went, without exception. Didn't know that about Canada though, that's hilarious!
I know Marmite from childhood vacations in Ireland. I think I‘ll try it again. If I like it as much as Bill does, I might need to do some smuggling too.
@@abcdefgold I never had Marmite until I was an adult, stuck on Embassy duty in London, and bored enough to try anything. I couldn’t imagine eating toast without it ever since.
'Marmite's reputation'? Given it's either 'you love it or you hate it', I think it's fair to say there's a LOT of people who can't live without it!. Bill is right, you usually have to be born into it....most Americans, for example, just don't 'get it'.
Love Marmite. Our little boy neighbor in Egypt, ages ago used to come known at our door with a piece of bread to have us slap some Marmite on his bread.
I have to say I’ve been stopped and ridiculed at British security for bringing in a jar of Vegemite, bought at Duty Free complete with security clearance. That didn’t stop them holding me up for a good half hour, forcing me to race for my plane to France!
For the folks out there who don't know, Marmite is one of the few products that has actually spawned a popular phrase. If someone or something is considered "Like Marmite" it means you love it or hate it. No middle ground. People who eat Marmite do not just sort of like it, they love it. People who do not like it, do not just dislike it, they hate it..
Never tried smuggling marmite as demand was low but I've been busted for kinder eggs and cheese going into the USA before. They take it very seriously. Men in rubber gloves take you off to a dark room and go through your entire suitcase and then leave you to repack it afterwards.
Totally agree. Vegimite is actually better. My Aussie mates certainly prefer it over marmite. Though if they can’t get Vegemite, they are grateful for marmite!😄 But my total favourite is bovril. Two reasons, firstly and mainly it makes the most delicious drink that the others can’t do and is really beefy which I prefer to just salty. So it has a more umami flavour, I think. But mostly because it’s actually incredibly good at healing irritable gut. It contains the proteins your gut lining needs that are in bone stock that help to repair leaky gut that results from gluten intolerance which I get.. so it goes really well with a gut friendly diet.
I think my all time favourite character of his was Sam Gamgee - Lord of the Rings (BBD Radio). I've watched him for years as if I were expecting him to explode at any moment, I've got to know what he's going to say next :)
I watched this while eating Marmite, and looked down at the jar and went "Is Bill Nighy watching me or some shit." I looked out the windows to make sure. My sister walked behind me and screamed scaring the living shit out of me, she said "I GOT UNDERWORLD LETS GO WATCH IT!!!" after calming myself I go "Goddamn it Bill!"... I love Bill Nighy, but after I watch something with him in it he shows up everywhere.
Fell in love with Marmite this year. It is an addictive simple English breakfast to me. Marmite on toast is the bomb, and it is even good as a hot drink. Turns out it has a lot of health benefits, and is good for the eyes. Yorkshire tea is better than PG Tips too. Tried it today. Makes PG Tips taste average.
You want to try marmite on toast then add baked beans cover with grated cheese and back under the grill until the cheese melts. Top breakfast or lunch that is.
I got into eating Vegemite when I was in Japan. They have it there probably because there are lots of Australians in Japan. Vegemite was a lot cheaper than Marmite but basically the same thing, yeast extract. Unfortunately, I can only find Marmite here in LA and it’s about $10 for a small jar so I usually pass up buying it.
As a Canadian I am not surprised at this Marmite atrocity. More government overreach! Another reason to dump Trudeau and the Libs! My deep regrets to my Aussie friends and please throw another shrimp on the barbie.
Marmite has become expensive in Italy where I live(brexit) I thought sod it I am not paying its a rip off, but I feel terrible I am having cold turkey , I have been eating marmite since I was a small child , sent for some from Amazon, sod the cost coming tomorrow
Absolutely agree with the man I cannot do without my marmite. Being in the US obtaining marmite is a bit difficult thankfully now it’s on Amazon. Like Bill I always have two jars waiting in reserve just in case.
I moved to Sweden (im a swede) after living in the UK and became addicted to marmite. Today i found a shop in sweden that sells it and i’m beyond happy.
Obviously this is for laughs and not true. I live in Canada and Marmite is readily available in some grocery stores and some deli type stores here. The price is comparable to what one would pay in the UK.
i like to apply the Marmite on frozen bread before i toast it (its also a lot more easy :P) then you put a layer of Mayonaise on it and than some Gouda cheese. 😇
Happy B-day Bill Nighy. UR amazing legend. I loved Underworld Rise of the Lycans, 1, and 2 Evolution. I watch all of them. Underworld is awesome and romantic...! Underworld remind me of Resident Evil. Its complicated. Shaun of the Dead is great. Zombie movies r awesome. Pokemon Detective Pikachu is super awesome, I love Pokemon, I seen Pokemon, long time ago. Shows and movies. All of them. And Flushed Away is incredible. Seriously! UR great. May the Peace be with u Bill Nighy. From Harlingen Texas. December 12, 1949 December 12, 2023 through December 12, 3023
Greatest Living Englishman, no contest....
One of my favourite people! What a treasure ❤
American here and me and my family love Marmite. Mr. Nighy can come over any time for a taste of home.
"There is no decanting of Marmite this side of security." That's positively Seinfeldian.
How dare you.
THAT is classic British absurdist comedy in the vein of PG Wodehouse, Spike Milligan, Terry Gilliam, Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett!
Seinfeldian... I feel I must go and put the kettle on before I do or say something we'll all regret.

I always loved Bill Nighy but even more now I know he's a Marmite fan!
I hate Marmite but this still makes me love him more haha
I’ve never had it but I don’t care
I think that’s a good ad. Two British treasures too, Bill Nighy and Marmite! Ah man come on!!!! Marmite do the ads!!!!!
Bill is spot-on in all of Life. Love this guy.
My day starts most days with buttered toast, Marmite, soft-boiled eggs or poached eggs, and a nice pot of Yorkshire or Ringtons tea.
Good one! I can taste it now.
Sorry but ONLY Yorkshire Tea.
@@alexandrathom-heinrich4053 Living in The North East of England Yorkshire and Ringtons are the top contenders. for a really good cuppa
And that, people, is why Bill Nighy is a National Treasure!
You are doing him a disservice. That wasn't a rant, it was a considered and witty response.
"epic rant"
To the classier elements of british society, that IS what an epic rant is.
Measured, well-reasoned, articulate, and with a touch of understated absurdism.
A masterpiece masterclass in humour , one as Bill says' has to have been born into Marmite to truly understand the comedy.
I had a hassle at USA airport security with Marmite when they would not believe it was not a meat product.Fortunately, it is now available in grocery stores in my area in The Woodlands Texas. Yorkshire teabags too.
Expect a visit from Bill.
@@blueabattoir I should be so lucky.
Kroger?
I get Marmite in Canada. It’s pretty easy, you just have to apply for a toast-buttering license
😂😂
🤣🤣
salted or unsalted butter? this Canadian living in England wants to know ...
@@anneroy4560I have only ever brought salted butter (spreadable is best, otherwise the bread gets completely mullered unless you take normal butter out of the fridge well in advance) We use it whether it's jam on toast or bacon butties (sandwiches), also mustn't forget chip butties as well.

Have you tried using it as a replacement to stock cubes in cooking?
Seriously, give it a go, especially in anything like casseroles or stew.

@@peterclarke7240 I’m gonna try this
Brilliant ! I’m with Bill all the way !!
I grew up on Marmite. If it wasn't for Marmite I'd still be two foot six.
How to resist to this man? Fabulous.
This was delightful
Love this man. Such a delight🤣😆
Thankfully Canada came to it's senses. We're still selling Marmite. #TeamMarmite
HA HA I LOVE Bill Nighy...the man is a legend!! :D :D You couldn't fail to be entertained in his company!! :D
And I'm with him - I love marmite!!! :D :D
Love Marmite and left England in 1973 but always make sure never to run out of Marmite....Amazon sells it now. Thanks for the chuckle...
I love this, man. I really love this, man!
We ALL love him.. He is NIGH ON irresistible…..❤️

Not to mention British chocolate. I hate America chocolate and never eat it.

A man of simple pleasures 👍
Oh, this man's a darling, I can hear him talk about Marmite all day! And I'm a fan of Vegemite ;p
Bill Nighy is the best
they would have been good advertisements.
At the beginning he reminded me of Benjamin Buford "Bubba" Blue from the movie Forest Gump talking about shrimp. :-)
That's one of the funniest comments I've ever read in my life! :D
Maximum respect. I’m also a lover of the ‘special stuff’ but so is my granddaughter so I have to buy loads. Can’t understand what’s not to like.
With him every step of the way. Lived in a number of different countries (other than Blighty) over the past decade, Marmite & Yorkshire Tea went where I went, without exception.
Didn't know that about Canada though, that's hilarious!
Marmite is readily available in Canada.
I’m a fan of Bill Nighy and an even bigger fan knowing he loves Marmite. I LOVE MARMITE!
My husband had his jar of marmite confiscated at Heathrow when we were on our way to South Africa!
That's weird. Exactly the same thing happened to me. I was visiting my sister in Durban and she begged me to bring her some!
I know Marmite from childhood vacations in Ireland. I think I‘ll try it again. If I like it as much as Bill does, I might need to do some smuggling too.
I’m with you Bill when it comes to Marmite. It is banned here in Denmark from being sold
Tell Bill that Marmite’s Australian competitor Vegemite was once briefly named Pah-Will - on the same shelf
Canadian here. Here me out: Montreal bagel + butter + Marmite is among this world’s top best treats of all time!
Agree with you, but the bagel has to be toasted!
My man! I love him even more now 😂
Based on Marmite's reputation, I can't believe someone would go as far to smuggle it.
I think Bill is right - you have to be born into Marmite, I don't imagine too many people get into Marmite at an old age
@@abcdefgold I never had Marmite until I was an adult, stuck on Embassy duty in London, and bored enough to try anything. I couldn’t imagine eating toast without it ever since.
Smuggled it into the states

Yeh, some love it , but i tried it once and almost pucked my guts out , never again and i'm from Belgium 🤣🤣😂😂👎👎
My esteem of Bill Nighy has just gone up. I'm born and bred American however I love to cook with Marmite. Great video thumbs up.
I’m a big fan of marmite and Bill Nighy too! Rock on Bill👍👍
National Treasure! Absolutely adorable, honestly. Love the passion, Bill!
I’m in Canada, and we have Marmite here! I’ve seen it in our Supermarket. So I can’t feel that he couldn’t get it here! Lol
He’s the Bubba Gump of Marmite🤣, I’ve got champagne marmite, Guinness marmite, royal marmite, I’ve got them all” 😂😂😂👍❤️
And thats all ive got to say about that😂
Love him anyway, but he's just gone through the roof now. Marmite Rules. Love the stuff. Yesssssss.
Love Marmite.
Our little boy neighbor in Egypt, ages ago used to come known at our door with a piece of bread to have us slap some Marmite on his bread.
I used to have buttered toast with a smearing of marmite with a mug of milky coffee and one sugar.
BTW, Marmite is readily available in Canadian supermarkets. I think he ran into an official who was being a bit too officious
I have to say I’ve been stopped and ridiculed at British security for bringing in a jar of Vegemite, bought at Duty Free complete with security clearance. That didn’t stop them holding me up for a good half hour, forcing me to race for my plane to France!
😂😅Couldn't live without Marmite!! Never heard of Guinness Marmite hhmmm interesting 😊 UK 🇬🇧
Judging from the taste of Marmite as well as Veggamite the secret ingredient must be ear wax😂

There is no substitute for Marmite. Thankfully freely available in South Africa.
Totally agree…. Poor Canadians don’t know what they are missing
Eating Marmite I just bought from my grocery store, as a Canadian... It's on the shelves...
Yes, I've been buying it in Canada regularly for nearly 50 years. If it was ever banned, as Bill says it was, it must have been very briefly.
If Bill is in it, I love it ❤
Childhood memory: Aunt made me vegemite on toast for breakfast every morning until I threw up.
Ie one bite of vegemite on toast
Marmite is available in Toronto. I buy it regularly. I’ve never heard of a Marmite ban in Canada.
