James has become a strange beast. A man deeply rooted in the straightforward unfrilly get-the-job-done-right British sensibility of the mid to late 20th Century who finds it increasingly normal to own a gin company based on parsnips and doesn't need a sit down when presented with a personalised fridge.
I’m 100% sure that James is one of those people at Christmas who spend 10 minutes unwrapping one gift so as to not tear the wrapping paper… then present you with said wrapping paper the very next year, wrapped neatly around your present.
@@ivanv754 Superb comment! I don’t think that many spouses would be happy to arrive home and see an orange fridge with the picture of some TV person across the front of it. My partner would probably threaten to paint it over breaking it.
as an american i can't believe bim thinks that's a "huge" fridge. normal american refrigerators can comfortably fit three brits or one icelandic strongman.
The little gauping noises the fridge was making every time James accidentally opened the bottom door while pulling the plastic wrap off was... *chef's kiss*
I cant even imagine the sheer joy in watching an Old man, peeling off the plastic from his new fridge. He's aged like fine wine and someone give Lucy a raise and a hug but not a cheese sandwich or was it the other one .
If someone had told me 10 years ago that James would become a youtuber and would make unboxing and cooking videos... i wouldn't believe him..... but it happened AND IT'S STILL BETTER THAN NEW TOP GEAR
I am sure you will get plenty of use out of that fridge and it is definitely unique :) Have a great Thanksgiving James and thank you again for the new content.
5:32 "Oh, no... My hands have hit the floor...!" Such is the excitement of James May unboxing a fridge with his face on it. I'm sure we can all imagine the reaction of the orangutan and the hamster upon watching this.
I've just spent 8 minutes and 20 seconds of my life watching a bloke unwrap a fridge. That's not the worrying part. I enjoyed it, is what worries me. Brilliant Lucy! 😊 and what a cool gift.👏
A Lovely gift and even though we all know James could afford a hundred thousand of these fridges, he receives it with complete gratitude and genuinely chuffed. Love this channel. Hope Clarkson will make an appearance too at some point.
Oh man. There are so many feels in the video. And has inadvertantly become one of the top 5 videos Ever made from any show James or the trio has done. And the sum total could be explained to anyone that's it's 8 minutes of James satisfying some hitherto unacknowledged desire to remove all packing materials from a new present. And at the end, we're all strangely satisfied too. And it's not just any new present; but a fridge with a lifesize photo and covered in iconix like Cheese. And that inevitably, there will be a meme created of James getting bopped in the head by his own fridge door. And by saying his own door, we mean by a door that says Cheese, and has a picture of cheese on it. Classic.😊
The coolest fridges (see what I did there?) are for tiny Japanese apartments, where you have very little control of where the fridges can go. So, they have doors that can open in both directions simply by pulling from either the left or right side. Very clever hinge system.
I honestly love that James May is so famous and popular these days that he can literally make 8 minute videos on him unwrapping a new fridge and still pull in views and be as beloved as he has always been. I mean this is a literal fridge unboxing! Name me another man that could pull of a video like this and not be slated in the comments?
There are people who just know how to make television show or videos for that matter. You sir are one of them. You could do a video about anything and it will be great to watch. Kudos to you
Wow really like the new fridge freezer James, and you done a brilliant job of unboxing👍😃😂 Looking forward to the next video James you are a legend mate
@@theimperialfistsspacemarin3050 You are quite right on one count; no-one does care. Also, you're wildly wrong on the other. Seems an odd assumption that my caring for grammar would make me black but, in any case, you are wrong.
Of all the people from Top Gear James is the one that you’d least expect to be so in touch with the internet and memes 😂
Nah, hammond
His IS a meme
Cheese vs Cheese
@@garrold7123 hammonds the youngest so I'd have expected it to be him tbh
@Ian Visser May was more like the opposite on top gear though.
And Hammond furthest away
it makes me immeasurably happy that James is embracing Internet humour.
It’s both the worst and best thing to ever happen
He took it to faster than Ian McCollum XD
asmr
I wonder if he lurks in the comments and observes us like Jane Goodall.
@@derekm3180 Dude, you know he does!
James can do the most unentertaining tasks and yet make them entertaining.
Well, now this is a comment we have never read before!
You're right and he's well aware of that. Remember when he had that show where he spent hours re-assembling stuff?
I'd watch him read a book
Hes like a cat, more thrilled with the packaging than the content.
@@dickJohnsonpeter I would love to have another series of The Reassembler.

He's like the dream dad that actually takes the time to figure out what his kids are up to, in a non judgemental way.
i would say 18th century to 20th
Such a 60's kid.
Just like me, a proud member of the Dull Men's Club!
most youtubers: look at my custom wrapped tesla
James May: look at my custom wrapped fridge
While his custom wrapped Tesla, which he paid cash for sits behind the camera unnoticed.
Have you noticed that tesla owners always refer to their cars as tesla? They never say "car".
@@ashesgaming841 I never knew that
Exclusive livery
watching the sheer joy of an adult man peeling protective film off a fridge is what youtube is all about
I’m 100% sure that James is one of those people at Christmas who spend 10 minutes unwrapping one gift so as to not tear the wrapping paper… then present you with said wrapping paper the very next year, wrapped neatly around your present.
You're describing my brother-in-law to a tee...lol. Now, his 2 sons do it. We may have to start the gift unwrapping a day or two early now.
I can see James doing that.
I'd totally be that one as well, just if someone gave me a gift ever 🤣
I do that. I carefully unwrap the paper and try not to tear it too much so i can reuse again next year.
I''m also one of "those people"
Lucy has a heart so James, give her a raise.
was this written by Lucy's alt account?
I bet he would give her raise 😘😂
James is a very rich man who takes true pleasure in peeling the plastic off a fridge. Bless him, he's a global treasure.
...It's the simple things in life
He’s like a kid unwrapping a Christmas present I love this
I'm glad it wasn't sunburst orange..
"Why has Lucy bought you a brown fridge?"
Bim -"It's not brown, it sunburst orange!
i was 5 minutes too late from making a joke like that haha
Just noticed the tribe channels colours are black and orange with white letters. Hmm
"Lucy, you're an idiot"
. . . also . . .
"This is great, Lucy!"
James is like a kid where they are more excited for the packaging than the item itself
Like a cat. 🐈
Hey now. The item is just the item. The cardboard box is a fort, plane, boat, space ship, etc.
I'm the same way especially when I get Amazon packages 📦
Nobody:
James May: “I LOVE refrigerators!”
I love how James gets as much, if not more, pleasure unboxing the fridge as he did from getting it in the first place.
I feel like James is working his way back up to the old Man-Lab goal of actually broadcasting a show where he watches paint dry.
As long as he'd narrate it, I'm game
rt game streamed it and it was his most successful, so why not
Bring it on
@@itsokay7989 I watched him clean and oil a toy train for 3, 4 hours? So, me2.
He’s dangerously close, but I love it
Lucy really is the best. So adorable and heart felt!
She has to be a relative. Otherwise no way she'd be hired.
I love that for an unboxing James climbed into the box first. The man is a treasure.
They should start selling James May's signature fridge, i would buy one.
will it have his actual signature on it?
Yeah, I now need a signed and numbered James Fridge to match my signed and numbered James Gin.
I bet the audience is going to be 100% single males over 27 years old
@@ivanv754 Superb comment!
I don’t think that many spouses would be happy to arrive home and see an orange fridge with the picture of some TV person across the front of it.
My partner would probably threaten to paint it over breaking it.
as an american i can't believe bim thinks that's a "huge" fridge. normal american refrigerators can comfortably fit three brits or one icelandic strongman.
Watching James May unpack a fridge was not something I thought i needed in my life. How wrong was I!
What a truly epic idea Lucy! Look at the joy in James face 😊 Brilliant 👏🏻
This is fantastic, excellent job Lucy! I love how excited he gets while removing protective plastics - totally relatable
Who’d of thought an unboxing of a fridge could be so entertaining. Only James May could achieve this!
The little gauping noises the fridge was making every time James accidentally opened the bottom door while pulling the plastic wrap off was... *chef's kiss*
The editing is brilliant!
“There is another pice of ASMR on it.” -cut to a single of fridge May.
This is the pinnacle of RUclips. It's amazing.
I dont think i`ve ever seen James this happy before :D
James has a wonderful way of useing words it brings the videos to life and shows just how down to earth this brilliant man is
I never thought an unboxing of a fridge could ever be as exiting or hilarious as this.
there are wholesome things in the internet but there is also James May unpacking a fricking fridge. FABULOUS
There's nothing like a freshly baked James May foodtribe video.
The picture of James is like a ready brek advert from the 1970s
It would have been kind of great if he just left the cardboard blocking the camera and the whole "unboxing" was just James describing the fridge.
I love how James really is embracing being an influencer 😂
I bet you never thought you'd want to see a man unbox a fridge on the internet.
We've done 18 months of lockdown. I'd watch a man unbox a cardboard box!
He literally unboxed a car. That's a cup of tea.
The only person on the planet that can make a fridge review entertaining
I cant even imagine the sheer joy in watching an Old man, peeling off the plastic from his new fridge.
He's aged like fine wine and someone give Lucy a raise and a hug but not a cheese sandwich or was it the other one .
New RUclips channel idea: sound tribe, James presents ASMR and many unboxing videos sponsored by seinnheiser for the best sound quality
Couldn’t agree more…BUT following his ASMR, Rachael should do one ASMR as well.
I just love her whispering voice.
Peeling off the plastic with James May. Top to bottom or left to right? 😂
That really is a great idea
Great choice of picture for the door
He looks so happy removing the plastic. I'm happy
If someone had told me 10 years ago that James would become a youtuber and would make unboxing and cooking videos... i wouldn't believe him..... but it happened AND IT'S STILL BETTER THAN NEW TOP GEAR
It’s so unexpected that James understands the internet the most out of the three lads. Keep these videos coming!
james seems happier and more enthused during this filming, just seems
I am sure you will get plenty of use out of that fridge and it is definitely unique :) Have a great Thanksgiving James and thank you again for the new content.
That's was some beautiful and satisfying ASMR
Make sure to save the box so Richard can have a brand new helicopter :)
This is the happiest I've ever seen him in the bugout bunker
Love everything that James May does really 😁😁
That was very nice of her! And it's great looking!
The sound of polystyrene hitting the floor...
It's an ancient sound memory of split dry kindling... thats a satisfying sound 😊
5:32 "Oh, no... My hands have hit the floor...!"
Such is the excitement of James May unboxing a fridge with his face on it. I'm sure we can all imagine the reaction of the orangutan and the hamster upon watching this.
"James, only you could be entertained by unboxing a fridge!'

I want with all my heart to see James react to the Bottom Gear and Grand Trip series by Jixaw in its totality. It would bring me extreme happiness.
Although he saw it, i would definitely love to see him react to it
Nah get the entire crew to see it, James Hammond and Jeremy together lol
James' shirt is a noteworthy blend of tones
It's actually kinda nice
Haha excellent. Such a natural, because he manages to remain exactly as I imagine he really is. How is that possible, if I am right of course.
Ah a place to store the CHEESE
Nice firewatch pfp

That is an EPIC fridge! Kudos Lucy!
3:27 the zoom killed me - wonderful editing, as always
James is clearly well into his second childhood, enjoying bonking a piece of polystyrene against the floor
Just watched and old dude peeling some wrapping. Loved it!
James: "It's massive!" In the US this is a dorm refrigerator.
The "fridge unboxing vid" graphic even shows an American-style fridge, which is at least twice as wide.
This is a large/ standard fridge in the UK aha
No wonder the US is leading the world in greenhouse gas emissions.
It's 2 AM, I am watching a car show host talk about refrigerators, I regret nothing
This, just satisfaction all around.
This was a life changing experience.
aww james seems so chuffed with himself
James could do the most mundane thing in the world and I'd still eagerly watch it. :)
World-class comedy editing as always 😂😂
That close up shot of the cellophane was very pleasing to watch. Lucky man James!
There are people who just know how to make television show or videos for that matter. You sir are one of them.
You could do a video about anything and it will be great to watch. Kudos to you
one of the best videos, ever. Ever!
Love these Foodtribe videos, so wholesome. That outro music is so relaxing, I need an hour of it on loop.
James getting such a huge amount of joy from pulling tape and film off a fridge has made me very happy. Transferable joy 😍
In Sainsbury's orange too. Very British
No one unboxes like James May! Quite entertaining, that. Great job, Lucy Brown!
James and ASMR is not a combo I expected. Enjoyed the unwrapping massively though. Cheers Mr May.
In the future I can explain to my kids that I once spent 10 minutes watching a man un boxing a fridge. That’s the level of excitement we had in 2021.
Lol
The editing was hilarious!
More James May mailtime pls!
Wow really like the new fridge freezer James, and you done a brilliant job of unboxing👍😃😂
Looking forward to the next video James you are a legend mate
If only it had jezza's ingenious submarine door
The noise when the freezer bumped open, often via James' head :D:D:D Brilliant editing.
No point in Lucy having it. Would be NO CHEESE TO PUT IN IT! . 8:19 I am not getting back 😁😁
This is the first time ever that I watch a fridge unboxing video. What next? A teaspoon review?
If Mr. May had a university course he taught where he would lecture you about random things; I'd go!
Never thought I'd see May unbox something on camera for the second time.
