The support on this video has been fucking mental. Just shows that it's not "roasting somebody" mindlessly, but that there is a genuine issue here. Nice one you lot.
1st time ive ever watched your vid and have to say what a cracking job you done putting your point across, and thanks for bringing single mums etc into it, I myself have been a single mum from the start and it's always been a struggle, when you have to ether Buy food, or use the money to Heat your house!! Even now I have to sell my possessions to pay for car repairs :( when Alfie has 4 bloody cars on the Drive GGRRRRRRR. Good job covering this :) x
He didn't use the filtered water, ice, or coffee machine, but he used his gym, his car, and went shopping? How can he not drink coffee but drive his car?
I think it's because his aim was to spend £1 on food and drink, not necessarily his entire life. However I think it would be interesting to see how he coped if it was £1 for every aspect of his life
I don't get it. It was suppose to be living off of £1, as in 'food'. Why are people annoyed that he bought clothes which aren't even part of the challenge?
Scott He literally called the video "Spending 1£ in 24 hours" he spend more than that on any of the items he got. Even if he only challenged himself to get food for 1£, it just shows that he isn't even trying to empathize with the people that live the reality of having so little money.
He's not trying to empathize full stop. He was going off a trend that (I think) London Hacks started where people try and get a breakfast, dinner and lunch for £1. But just because Alfie does it people uproar. Being jealous of his £1.5m house and lavish lifestyle doesn't mean you have to criticise everything he does whilst someone does it before him and its ok?
my English teacher slept rough for 3 months to raise money for homeless charities. He didn't have access to his bank cards or his home or anything and he filmed the whole thing on his go pro to raise awareness. Yes he got to go back to his home afterwards but he's a teacher so not exactly a millionare anyways and he raised 2 grand for the local shelter. That;s how to do this challenge right.
Sarah Bush he's a fucking rich youtube "influencer" why are you expecting him to do something actually benefiting other people. It's a fucking challenge video.
The best part is he didn't even buy any food at all. So the conclusion was... you can't do it... you just die of starvation. But hey at least you will do it in style since you can save all those hundreds of pounds to keep your beard hygiene in check.
I think he just doesn't care. He's ignorant, but he can't be that stupid... He could have even hidden the fact that he bought stuff whilst making the video, to at least have a tiny bit of remaining credibility, but he wasn't even self aware enough to do that... A BEARD COMB?!
Anna Nanas I’m not at all defending him but I don’t think it’s fair to criticise his on clothes and accessories he already owns, like, he’s rich as fuck and has been for ages, I doubt he owns cheep shitty clothes from Asda
He also ate donuts which he was given for free because he told the cashier he was doing this challenge. If people who actually live on this income did that they’d be shooed out of the store
I'd honestly be surprised if the staff who gave him a whole box of donuts (double layered, no less) didnt get a huge ticking off or sacked. A manager is entitled to give away freebies, even then it would be rare, and he'd likely pay for it himself to avoid losing out. These shops are always in big competition with each other for profits, like it's a daily thing. So to give those expensive things away willy nilly might have gone unnoticed but alfie filmed the staff, and since twitter has been messaging the company complaining. they were clearly just staff, not a manager, so alfie very likely got them into big trouble by not blurring out their faces or at least not filming their faces. Silly man.
Just grab a filled box and use it as a weight. Apps can help you workout without equipment, second hand gym clothes or got any friends who got plenty of gym clothes can borrow. I never went to a gym, but RUclips and apps help out.
true, but the challenge was originally to spend only £1 on food and drink remember! I totally get your point, but he knows gyms and personal trainers cost money, he went shopping and bought other items too! He knew!
Mudkipz4lifez and that too, so he clearly knows that the challenge was for food and drink only not his gym or gas or anything !!!!! thank you for the help
The escalation was hilariously infuriating. He went from "living on this amount" to "just spending only this amount" to "only on food and drink tho" every time he was faced with the opportunity to spend money.
Best “living below the line” challenges was Emma Blackery’s where she bought her week’s shopping with £5. She actually considered how people live like that and didn’t make it about herself. Her goal was to raise awareness for those living in poverty using the platform she has and she delivered. She did exactly that.
A good person to watch for these sort of things is a guy known as ''London Hacks'' he is really good! Does this sort of stuff pretty much all the time.And did the homeless challenge on £0 which was really good.
i know i'm extremely late but my auntie karen and her husband lost their business in 2015 and was in dept so had to sign on for benefits, didn't have a penny to their name and had a 14 year old daughter and they had to wait FIFTEEN weeks for their first payment and she was too ill to work. the council said they'll have to "get food off friends". alfies attitude is utterly disgusting and his ignorance blows my mind.
Molly Watkiss Really feel for your aunt and her husband. Disgusting that our government cuts benefits for the disabled and forced them to work for free in big chain supermarkets whilst cutting taxes for the richest. And then we have wankers like Alfie dates running around. Hope they’re okay now x
At first I was like okay he's a bit out of touch but maybe he's going to make a discovery and have an epiphany. Nope he just bought more random goodies for himself than some people are able to buy in a year instead. What a class act.
@@aishah5899 You are the special kind of special arent you? If you have no income at all how in the living fuck do you expect to be able to purchase a comb. People with no income have to beg. The get so little money from that and its horrible. You are completely ignorant you stuck up twat
Aisha H Alfies video is so entitled from start to finish. Don't justify it. I can't get past the ice and water nevermind what we bought on a pound a day challenge. - also a t-shirt, a video game, earrings, a beard comb could be someone's Christmas or birthday haul.
I'm actually embarrassed for him. I hope to God he watched your video to see exactly what he did wrong. Because I agree with you 100% that he wasn't trying to be cruel but he came across a bit like he was bragging. That was just a bit revolting to watch.
Alfie is worse than that. I used to like him until he stole a fan's idea and financial gained from it, giving her zero credit! Basically a girl designed a beanie, chose the colours & font & tweeted it to Alfie saying she was going to make him this hat. He completely ignored her, but he did save the pic, cropped the writing & tweeted it asking fans to tell him the name of the font used. Bare in mind, he's still ignoring this girl who is a massive fan of his. He didn't ask her the font! After receiving the font name from other fans, he deleted that post of her work to hide the evidence. The hat appeared very quickly in his store & sold out the same day which he boasted about, again on twitter! Complete scumbag! He didn't aknowledge her for her idea, her work, he didn't thank her, or gave her any credit. He didn't even like her post. It's honestly disgusting. I tried to stand up for her, but she was so timid and such a big fan & after initially complaining mildly, his fans squished her, so she said it didn't matter and she is STILL a fan to this day, after he ripped her off. Who does that. Awful. Just g oogle 'alfie deyes stole fan hat idea' to see all the tweets and how it went down. And that's just one tiny thing, I could give u lot more examples of ways both zoe and alfie screwed over innocent people who r way more talented than they ever will be, for big financial gain. And I mean big. Hate 'em, frankly. Thanks for these vids, scrapping the surface so you are, though!!
He seems so out of touch that I can't imagine he even realises what he did wrong and considered it a genuine effort. I was shocked by the ice comment and from that point on it just became more and more ludicrous
Love how Alfie made his video wearing two cartier bracelets, an Apple watch and a branded t-shirt which probably costs more than a days wages my mum makes - scratch that probably two days wages. You hit the nail right on the head Jack, he wasn’t intentional, just pure, pure ignorant
Tanya m £50,000 is just shy of 3 years worth of wages for me and I'm in management 🙃 below me it could easily be at least 5. I'd put money on it that his outfit cost more than my weekly salary! Possibly monthly depending on the bracelets 😧 I'm like jack, well done to him for having made money for himself and the house etc do not bother me. (If I had money, I'd buy nice things too!) But, Alfie, seriously? This video of all videos to show off on? He even got given donuts free because people recognised him, told everyone to spend £40 on a therapist, said how he wants to be able to do it and bargain (aka use his fame to get more free stuff), and finished it with giving the change (7p) to a charity box and acted like he'd just saved someone's life 😠
Jen Pickering £50,000 for a bracelet?! I would have to work for 10 years and spend nothing out of my wages to earn that! I don't even have words to describe how I feel towards his video 🤷🏻
The fact that he doesn't even know what he spends on coffee tells enough of what little money means to him and how ignorant he is towards people who live in poverty
I remember when Emma Blackery did a similar video and she was trying to raise awareness of the poverty in the UK it was a big insight, the difference between her video and alfie's is massive
Alfie: “May or may not have done some shopping in town” Me: *on the verge on flipping my desk and throwing my laptop out the window* I used to love Alfie and Zoe, grew out of watching vloggers, and seeing them bragging about their riches years later is absolutely disgusting and disrespectful. I too don’t see them as malicious people with bad intentions, but they deserve the backlash so they know that they should not do something like this again.
Emilia Xi agreed even the dutch vlogger i used to watch is kinda like this nowdays driving around in his porsche like it is nothing then being pulled over by the police way too many times then getting a fine.. and he is just like oh well whatever like i don’t understand people like these.. i’ve never been rich and i am happy with all i have.. i don’t need a super expensive car i would be fine with a car that is way old as long as it has been well kept up and drives safely... i don’t need some super big house or clothes that are of some kind of brand..
Litch The Shinigami I love the way you look at things. Being grateful for what you have is the key to happiness. Bragging like these people do is arrogant and I don’t know what they are trying to achieve? Are they trying to clap back at “haters” or do they just want people to think that they are happy... because they’re rich? I don’t get it...
When vloggers first became a thing they were seen as refreshing because they were real people living real lives. I remember an article in a mag which claimed that teens were no longer interested in celebs because they would rather see real people on RUclips. Now the vloggers are just as privileged and out of touch. If I am going to watch some overprivileged nitwit I'd rather watch a celeb as at least they are glamorous and move in interesting circles! It does astonish me that Alfie is so idiotic that it didn't occur to him that mentioning a shopping haul in a video of this kind would attract criticism.
LauraBristol Absolutely. When I was in school I found my life to be so boring and repetitive that I enjoyed watching blogs and live in their world for a while, but now... It’s not the same. It’s like every vlogger is going out of their way to brag and show of their “glamorous life” and it’s just not fun anymore.
This video spoke to me. I live in Brighton, unemployed, disabled, often without money for food. People don’t tend to understand. I’ve had better off people just tell me to go buy food. They don’t understand the concept of having no money at all. My partner and I have subsisted on flour and water for days before. A typical meal is pasta and tinned tomato, or some kind of vegetable soup. Homelessness is a massive issue in Brighton, and food poverty is one across the UK. He does touch on some interesting points though. Like that feeling you can’t leave your house, absolutely. Except my house isn’t a mansion it’s a flat with high rent that would probably fit in his master bedroom. Jack is absolutely correct, these people just don’t have any concept of having low income, they are oblivious to the strife of millions of others in this country alone. We live in the same city, sure, but it’s a different world.
Jared Newbery I’m American so my only insight into English life is through Alfie & Zoe. I thought that was how everyone lived. Nice houses, nicer vacations. I’m sorry to hear it isn’t. Thanks for giving me insight into how the rest of England I don’t see lives.
KimOlson1993 it’s okay I know the media can give a warped view of life in different places. It’s hard to find exact numbers but: About 5-6% are the elite, earning big money, Zoë and Alfie are in the top 1% of that elite. Somewhere between 25-30% are middle class: high personal money, good jobs, comfortable lives, etc. 15% are transitory, coming from a poorer background but with better paid jobs. ~49% fit into a very broad lower class, from service industry workers to ‘traditional’ style workers. Included in that is about 15% that fall into the poorest of the poor. So, most people have it okay, some people are on the up, some people live their lives in comfort, some are richer than all hell, and some are poorer than you’d believe.
Jared Newbery Wow! 😮 So are Zoe & Alfie like the Kim & Kanye of England??? (Idk a better comparison. Beyoncé & Jay-Z?) I really didn’t realize they were THAT rich! I’d probably fall in the “middle class.”
Not even close, Z&A have a net worth of ~£3 million, whereas B&JZ have a net worth of $1.16 billion. If Z&A are the top 1-2% then B&JZ are the top 0.1% Worth noting a difference between the US and UK. ~1.5 million people in the US are millionaires, compared to only ~800,000 in the UK. (in the US there are 540 billionaires, compared to 104 in the UK) I grew up what used to be called upper-working class, now referred to as 'transitory'. Parents grew up poor but got better-paying jobs (and a college education). But times are hard, plus me and my siblings don't have large parental pots of money to fall back on.
He could have done it 65p donuts from tesco and 35p bottled water from Wilkinson. When my dad lost his job and my mum was a stay at home mum when I was nine we did it. I mean Alfie it was so fun that day we went without food because my parents couldn't afford it. It was fun wondering if today was the day we were going to get kicked out of our house. Thanks Alfie for your very sensitive video 👍
So good to hear u r OK and the video what Alfie uploaded was SO fucking offensive and he is a little selfish prick who needs to a actually think b4 he speaks
the in a country like Thailand part makes me so mad, like dude theres so many people that are poor in both Thailand, the rest of the world, AND ENGLAND. like dude I don't have to go very far from my home in a nice American suburb before I start to see homeless people. like why is Thailand the first place you think of, not people in your own country
Being Thai, I felt personally attacked by his comment on Thailand. Yes, it's "cheap" because a single pound sterling is about 43 baht. It's cheap because you already earn a lot in your currency and when you convert it to our currency, it's even more. I'm glad Jack is talking about this video. He had good insights as to what exactly is wrong with this video.
Being someone who lived on the poverty line for over a year, living on food bank handouts, and tokens, I applaud you for Making this video, I remember being so appreciative of those who donated items to the food bank I used, and being thrilled with branded baked beans.. now in a job and having a home and being able to support myself I always donate to local food banks, some people don’t even have a pound to their name, i wish he could mention some charities or helplines in the video and not come across the way he did when holding that pound, I remember having to buy the reduced items with 5ps I was finding in cracks of my sofa and paying at the self checkouts because I felt like a failure on not only myself but my family thank you for sharing some light jack we appreciate you speaking out for those who can’t.
It winds me up that he gets things for free just because he’s famous. It’s disgusting that companies, like Krispy Kreme in his video, just dish out freebies to those with a shit ton of money but won’t hand out free donuts/hot drinks to those with literally nothing living out on the streets.
At most, in America you MIGHT get a free glazed donut when there’s a promotion in place or a Krispy Kreme store opens. This is the first video of his that ive watched and he’s extremely out of touch!
Handing out stuff to homeless people won't get them the advertising it would if Alfie promoted the same stuff to his fans. It's all about profit, morality isn't a part of the equation.
A lot of companies do this. It's for promotion, no other reason. By giving free stuff to celebrities they earn more money in the long run from advertisement, they are a business after all.
That part about 'These people used to be your online best friends, just the girl next door, just the guy next door.. not anymore they're multimillionaires' Not just like you anymore.... so true.
Keavy Mac Really the last video of his I watched was back when he was just getting with Zoella and now he's... like this. Really strange to see that contrast
Emma blackery did this ‘challenge’ for a week but she actually did it correctly and used her fame and the challenge to highlight the problems faced by the working class and people living in poverty
When Caitlin Shoemaker did the Living Below the Line Challenge, too, she actually reflected on how it affected her and how hard it was for her and how much harder it would be for people who do live below the line. That's how this should be done.
Growing up in a village in Kenya the back pain you get just from carrying containers of water from the river, lasts a lifetime. I don't think he realises how serious this really is.
I used to watch Zoe and Alfie's videos all the time but stopped because they're just oblivious to real life. I'd love to see them budget for week on minimum wage to see if their attitudes changed
This is like watching a British version of the Kardashians "slumming it" in a 4 star hotel instead of a 5 star. Oh no, where is the mint on the pillow?!?
As a student I had about £80 a month left after rent and bills and survived living in Brighton (it wasn't comfortable but it was dooable). I know people that had even less. Brighton is expensive but it still has an Aldi. 😂 I think he just needs to grow up and get his head out of his own arse tbh.
When I was a student a would go to Tesco at night hours and buy the discounted to pennies vegetables / produce they were selling. Then ofc Lidl/Aldi for any dry ingredients etc… this guy is so out of touch
@@maggiepp7997 that's what my dad did then go to the bakery at the end of the day ask for a Pasties that fed me and him. Now I eat decent and we live better because my dad had to grind his ass of I Uni in his 40's with my Stepmum helping
@@lorddarlo6194 Yup! There is so many tricks and tips you can do to save you some pennies. I also heard that some people but discounted sandwiches and freeze them and they can have them for lunch in the future. I haven’t personally done it as I much prefer fresh food(especially bread) but it is a useful tip for anyone reading. Things like that will get you really clever with money and savvy. I am too still bargain haunting even though I’m okay with money now.
He also said on Twitter that he didn’t mean to offend anyone and that everyone is making these videos. I think he doesn’t understand where he went wrong and that’s the worst part
I used to admire them, but after seeing how they are now.. it's kinda disappointing. And yeah, he doesn't even know what was wrong with the video.. it reminds me when Zoe apologized for the price of the Advent Calendar like the point it wasn't that was too expensive, it was that the things inside were a joke, things that literally you could buy at the dollar store and yet she didn't realize anything wrong.. meh :c
I remember a few years back when Emma Blackery did the “live below the line” challenge for five days which was so much more put together and respectful that this utter shit show. She lived off £5 for five days and explained how she fully budgeted everything and how harder she thought it was than she originally thought it was going to be. Emma carried it out in such a respectful and sincere way which showed you how appreciative she was for her lifestyle and further went on about how you can help families living below the line. I think that Alfie has completely lost touch with how the rest of the country lives and doesn’t appreciate the challenges that people have to go through on a daily basis just to put food on the table. He’s been so absorbed in this privileged lifestyle which he has made for himself that he’s become blinded to real life problems and not just “ah shite I can’t use my ice machine because I have £3 filtered water in there”. Like you said I don’t think he meant any harm but his ignorance definitely shows through this video, especially by how much he’s laughing about he can’t have a protein shake or has to use a specific tap because the other water is too costly.
"Mocking the poor" is literally the reason i dont watch Alfie or zoe anymore they overly shove there money in our faces and all of what you say they're doing is so true. Ive lived on very little money growing up as my mam had to look after me and my sister on benifits and it makes my life feel like shit. Thank you for this vide as i feel like the only one who sees this. Its tough being lower class 😕
Kitakat believe me you aren't lower class if you can go on RUclips and these things like I've been to Africa with a few mates doing helping to build schools and stuff and like these people live on the equivalent of 20 pence a day.. you are doing okay lol
Kitakat your mum is a good person for looking after 2 children on benefits. You’re a real family. Big respect to you guys,good to see you turning your back on the rich snobs that tell you how to think
Dan G but they are lower class in the uk... you can't compare circumstances to people in Africa because we all know that every single person in the uk would be considered upper class to those who live in slums. Just because people in Africa have it worse doesn't mean people don't have a right to be upset about their financial circumstances
It's also worth highlighting the fact that he only drinks bottled water. In one video (I can't remember when) his weekly Ocado delivery arrives with several multi-packs of plastic bottled water - and he says that he only drinks bottled water because he doesn't like tap water. We're fortunate enough to live in a country with some of the purest tap water on the planet, and yet while the rest of us are trying to cut down on our plastic usage (y'know, because it's killing the environment...) he openly jokes about how many bottles they get through a week! As someone with as much influence as him, he should not be promoting the frivolous use of single-use plastics. I don't think he's a bad person - he's just incredibly disconnected from the rest of the world. I cringed so much when he was talking about all the things he bought for himself on his 'living on £1 day.'
AGREED. a better option is to get a reusable, stainless steel water bottle. that's so much easier and cheaper than constantly going through small plastic water bottles! i have a decent sized water bottle from this website www.drinkfinity.com its really useful. i recommend it to literally everyone, check it out
what's wrong with bottled water? I only drink bottled water but I ain't rich, I'm a student living in a different city than the one I grew up in but still, one bottle is like 12 cents (1.5 Liters)
Alfie's also mis-informed, drinking out of plastic is bad for you. IF he had any inkling about health, he'd be drinking water kept in glass bottles. Also better for the environment as they can be recycled.
I think I would be genuinely embarrassed to be Alfie's partner. I get he makes a good living from RUclips, and thats amazing, but his content is so childish and young. At some stage in a day, does Zoe not think, grow up and act like a man?
“Think of Nala” I’m actually dead 😂 okay I’ve been a supporter of Zoe and Alfie for probably close to 6 years and wow.... thank you for this. They say they don’t want to talk about money because it’s none of our business but they constantly talk about money now. Where’s the substance behind the sweatshirts and body lotions! They originally made money on their originality and now they make money because they’re pretty and have lifestyles that give people a 20 minute escape that allow them to feel for a second like they have rich friends. They aren’t our friends. They’re profiting off of our poverty now. Crazy.
Dani Rudy I mean I used to LOVE Zoe and Alfie and the whole squad so to say but now it’s just like all the originality is lost so I absolutely agree with ya
I used love Zoe and Alfie but video has really shown me how bigheaded they are, the advent calender was very bad, but making a fun challenge out of something that is really serious and people have to do this everyday is so insensitive
i think that Alfie is one of those ppl who think that if you don’t have a lot of money then you just haven’t worked hard enough, because he has probably worked hard to get what he has. but the issue is he has had opportunities that other people never will but he doesn’t realise that
@@melo3427 yeah he would not even be where he is without zoe, honestly I think zoe would be way further without him and he would still be living in his parents house till 22😶
I’m 2 years late with this reply, but no Alfie hasn’t worked hard for his lifestyle at all it’s all down to Zoe and even she doesn’t work hard anymore either.
@@Camilla550 yup he's literally known as Zoellas boyfriend that's his official title In life literally would not have any of this without her which is interesting cause usually its women who become mega rich marrying / dating a rich man so it is interesting to see the reverse happening
I unsubbed Zoe & Alfie a while back for being snobs. I'm glad Jack said that, it's true! A year ago I hurt my back & couldn't work, neither could I prepare my food. A lifesaver was my local petrol station next door that sold meal deal sandwiches for 3 pounds inc a drink and a snack, so I could afford it & they are high in calories so it meant I was surviving. I had 1 every day, it was a life saver. Either that or warm soup. I blame companies who pamper and indulge their every whim, like Chewton Glen Luxury treehouses, who give Zalfie free everything in return for vids. So one day they were traveling there (btw prices start at 3k *per night* you could stay in the Maldives cheaper than that!! ) with the sister, bf, his parents, all free, when they stopped off at a petrol station and realized they had skipped lunch. They were looking at those sandwiches like they were FILTH. They turned their noses up. Zoe wouldn't even look, Alfie was like no.. this is awful. Honestly it broke my heart, bcos what is he expecting from a sandwich?! In the end he got a boxed cheese treat & nothing for Zoe, at the tree houses they immediately ordered the poshest pizzas I ever saw. It was legit things like Wild Broccoli, Radicchio, Dorset Blue Vinney, Flambards Egg, Violet Artichoke, Pine Nuts. That was one! And rocket and stuff sprinkled on. That's when I realized how they live, and how they're unable to remain humble and appreciative of anything below that. Honestly, it stinks. They don't even have a talent! I can understand a singer etc getting a big ego as they're talented but these two are useless even with basic tasks. It's unbelievable how dense they are. They are also insanely wasteful, jamie oliver gave them a huge top of the range BBQ free for the mansion, they left it dirty all winter so Alfie had to ring his father to bring his tiny portable bbq, which they placed on top of the dirty one so they could eat bbq. That's just one tiny example. Btw that tree house place personalized about a billion things for them, inc chocolates, bath robes, slippers etc in the same font as their yt logos (which they don't do for all) AND even a frigging huge welcome mat for outside their mansion front door, with their name on it & told them to take it home. No joke. I understand someone like Ninja getting Red Bull to sponsor him, he is skilled. Zalfie were sponsored by The Sims and spent 20 mins trying to figure out why they couldn't go upstairs. They'd blocked the way with a pot plant. That's all they had to move. Instead they scratched their heads for ages then finally rebuild that part of the house. haha. Buffoons. Anyway social blade shows both zoe and alfie mostly red, as people flock to unsub. Finally seen the light!!
It’s insane how out of touch most youtubers are. I honestly think Alfie was privileged growing up as well just from the way he and his family act. It’s crazy
well duh... they would have only had time to start youtube in the first place because they had no pressure to go out and make a living instead of living off parents...
Alisa V it's not something we're trying to make you ashamed of, it's just that people who are well off tend to act like they understand what it's like not to be... And it's just not the case as evidenced in Alfie's vlog
Alisa V no one is telling your to be ashamed and no one is receiving hate for just being well off. It’s the ignorance that comes with it that many, not all, well off people have because they don’t know the struggle. I’m very glad your family was well off I wouldn’t wish poverty on my worst enemy but Alfie was very clearly ignorant about the whole thing and acting like not having basic luxuries is the end of the world.
The fact that he has no idea about water and how you are actually paying for it... tells us he won't be a multi millionaire for long. He probably has no idea what bills are, he just gets them paid automatically.
Alfie's video was completely insensitive, he had an oppurtunity to raise awareness of a poverty issue and he was complaining about not having ice in his drink
he has always been pathetic. i dont even know how he got to where he is right now. if it had depended on me, nobody would ever have heard about this guy lmao
You know I used to live on less then a pound a day. It's quite simple actually: 1) Eat half a packet of instant noodles for lunch and dinner each, 2) spend the day motionless so you don't expend expensive calories, and 3) steal your neighbor's chicken. Fuck me Alf, no need to make it so complicated.
The support on this video has been fucking mental. Just shows that it's not "roasting somebody" mindlessly, but that there is a genuine issue here. Nice one you lot.
JaackMaate Please do a video reacting to the adult baby 😂
or react to this video ruclips.net/video/YjbFjRrHdxs/видео.html 😂😂
love youuu
JacckMaate Wow you are so jealous of youtubes but yet ur trying to be just like them get to fuck out of here ! smfh !
1st time ive ever watched your vid and have to say what a cracking job you done putting your point across, and thanks for bringing single mums etc into it, I myself have been a single mum from the start and it's always been a struggle, when you have to ether Buy food, or use the money to Heat your house!! Even now I have to sell my possessions to pay for car repairs :( when Alfie has 4 bloody cars on the Drive GGRRRRRRR. Good job covering this :) x
He didn't use the filtered water, ice, or coffee machine, but he used his gym, his car, and went shopping? How can he not drink coffee but drive his car?
I think it's because his aim was to spend £1 on food and drink, not necessarily his entire life. However I think it would be interesting to see how he coped if it was £1 for every aspect of his life
@@usernotfound1185 Probably would have broke down and started sobbing, judging from how upset he was that he couldn't have a morning coffee.

@@xiiv.emilia he definitely did😂😂😂. Hes literally gt no reason nt to. Its nt like were gonna know if he did or nt
When he started doing a haul in the middle of this ‘spending £1’ video. I’m dead. How out of touch can you be?
Chloe I felt sorry for him a little bit until he did that. To gloat on about it in a video about spending a pound. What a dick.
If anything I’m embarrassed for him. A beard comb? Seriously???
I don't get it. It was suppose to be living off of £1, as in 'food'. Why are people annoyed that he bought clothes which aren't even part of the challenge?
Scott He literally called the video "Spending 1£ in 24 hours" he spend more than that on any of the items he got. Even if he only challenged himself to get food for 1£, it just shows that he isn't even trying to empathize with the people that live the reality of having so little money.
He's not trying to empathize full stop. He was going off a trend that (I think) London Hacks started where people try and get a breakfast, dinner and lunch for £1. But just because Alfie does it people uproar. Being jealous of his £1.5m house and lavish lifestyle doesn't mean you have to criticise everything he does whilst someone does it before him and its ok?

I commend you, well played friend 😭😂
my English teacher slept rough for 3 months to raise money for homeless charities. He didn't have access to his bank cards or his home or anything and he filmed the whole thing on his go pro to raise awareness. Yes he got to go back to his home afterwards but he's a teacher so not exactly a millionare anyways and he raised 2 grand for the local shelter. That;s how to do this challenge right.
Sarah Bush that is amazing, your teacher is a amazing person, so proud.
Sarah Bush wow thats incredible
Does this teacher have a donation link i.e. JustGiving? Or more info about the whole thing?
Sarah Bush he's a fucking rich youtube "influencer" why are you expecting him to do something actually benefiting other people. It's a fucking challenge video.
That's a selfless act rather than a self serving act that these RUclips idiots and so called 'celebrities' do
Does he actually think that people willingly only spend £1 a day on food so that... so that they can spend hundreds on clothes and earrings...
The best part is he didn't even buy any food at all. So the conclusion was... you can't do it... you just die of starvation. But hey at least you will do it in style since you can save all those hundreds of pounds to keep your beard hygiene in check.
I think he just doesn't care. He's ignorant, but he can't be that stupid... He could have even hidden the fact that he bought stuff whilst making the video, to at least have a tiny bit of remaining credibility, but he wasn't even self aware enough to do that...

Was funny until u put “I’m screaming” at the end
@@btep8724 Still funny to me
I actually thought he googled this for real ahahaha
He also ate donuts which he was given for free because he told the cashier he was doing this challenge. If people who actually live on this income did that they’d be shooed out of the store
Katie S ClickForTaz said that she wasn't allowed food from family and friends and that
I'd honestly be surprised if the staff who gave him a whole box of donuts (double layered, no less) didnt get a huge ticking off or sacked. A manager is entitled to give away freebies, even then it would be rare, and he'd likely pay for it himself to avoid losing out. These shops are always in big competition with each other for profits, like it's a daily thing. So to give those expensive things away willy nilly might have gone unnoticed but alfie filmed the staff, and since twitter has been messaging the company complaining. they were clearly just staff, not a manager, so alfie very likely got them into big trouble by not blurring out their faces or at least not filming their faces. Silly man.
It kills me that in all the time he talks about going to the gym, he doesnt once think that a gym COSTS MONEY
Allison it’s his own x
Just grab a filled box and use it as a weight. Apps can help you workout without equipment, second hand gym clothes or got any friends who got plenty of gym clothes can borrow. I never went to a gym, but RUclips and apps help out.
true, but the challenge was originally to spend only £1 on food and drink remember! I totally get your point, but he knows gyms and personal trainers cost money, he went shopping and bought other items too! He knew!
His car costs money for gas too
Mudkipz4lifez and that too, so he clearly knows that the challenge was for food and drink only not his gym or gas or anything !!!!! thank you for the help

The escalation was hilariously infuriating. He went from "living on this amount" to "just spending only this amount" to "only on food and drink tho" every time he was faced with the opportunity to spend money.
"Zoella didn't sell calendars for this shit" that honestly had me rolling
Nearly a year late but same haha
Best “living below the line” challenges was Emma Blackery’s where she bought her week’s shopping with £5. She actually considered how people live like that and didn’t make it about herself. Her goal was to raise awareness for those living in poverty using the platform she has and she delivered. She did exactly that.
starry eyed the brothers green also do similar stuff! They do a higher budget sometimes but they make amazing food
London hacks also does a great job at doing this.
Agree agree agree agree.
A good person to watch for these sort of things is a guy known as ''London Hacks'' he is really good! Does this sort of stuff pretty much all the time.And did the homeless challenge on £0 which was really good.

I wonder when Alfie will realise there some people living on £0 for days
@Sara Jones so true tho
i know i'm extremely late but my auntie karen and her husband lost their business in 2015 and was in dept so had to sign on for benefits, didn't have a penny to their name and had a 14 year old daughter and they had to wait FIFTEEN weeks for their first payment and she was too ill to work. the council said they'll have to "get food off friends". alfies attitude is utterly disgusting and his ignorance blows my mind.
Molly Watkiss i hope they’re okay now
Molly Watkiss Really feel for your aunt and her husband. Disgusting that our government cuts benefits for the disabled and forced them to work for free in big chain supermarkets whilst cutting taxes for the richest. And then we have wankers like Alfie dates running around. Hope they’re okay now x

Aisha H Alfies video is so entitled from start to finish. Don't justify it. I can't get past the ice and water nevermind what we bought on a pound a day challenge.
- also a t-shirt, a video game, earrings, a beard comb could be someone's Christmas or birthday haul.
"Zoella didn't sell calendars for this"
I'm actually embarrassed for him. I hope to God he watched your video to see exactly what he did wrong. Because I agree with you 100% that he wasn't trying to be cruel but he came across a bit like he was bragging. That was just a bit revolting to watch.
T Sommers n
Makes a Living off £1 For a Day video. Gets food for free to “accomplish” the challenge.
Alfie is worse than that. I used to like him until he stole a fan's idea and financial gained from it, giving her zero credit! Basically a girl designed a beanie, chose the colours & font & tweeted it to Alfie saying she was going to make him this hat. He completely ignored her, but he did save the pic, cropped the writing & tweeted it asking fans to tell him the name of the font used. Bare in mind, he's still ignoring this girl who is a massive fan of his. He didn't ask her the font! After receiving the font name from other fans, he deleted that post of her work to hide the evidence. The hat appeared very quickly in his store & sold out the same day which he boasted about, again on twitter! Complete scumbag! He didn't aknowledge her for her idea, her work, he didn't thank her, or gave her any credit. He didn't even like her post. It's honestly disgusting. I tried to stand up for her, but she was so timid and such a big fan & after initially complaining mildly, his fans squished her, so she said it didn't matter and she is STILL a fan to this day, after he ripped her off. Who does that. Awful. Just g oogle 'alfie deyes stole fan hat idea' to see all the tweets and how it went down. And that's just one tiny thing, I could give u lot more examples of ways both zoe and alfie screwed over innocent people who r way more talented than they ever will be, for big financial gain. And I mean big. Hate 'em, frankly. Thanks for these vids, scrapping the surface so you are, though!!
He seems so out of touch that I can't imagine he even realises what he did wrong and considered it a genuine effort. I was shocked by the ice comment and from that point on it just became more and more ludicrous
He’s so un self-aware it’s ridiculous
“This area is so nice, I’ll tell you what; the cows don’t even eat grass, they graze on cous cous”
Love how Alfie made his video wearing two cartier bracelets, an Apple watch and a branded t-shirt which probably costs more than a days wages my mum makes - scratch that probably two days wages. You hit the nail right on the head Jack, he wasn’t intentional, just pure, pure ignorant
Amy McCall if your mum makes that much in 3 days then you aren’t doing bad trust me
Tanya m £50,000 is just shy of 3 years worth of wages for me and I'm in management 🙃 below me it could easily be at least 5. I'd put money on it that his outfit cost more than my weekly salary! Possibly monthly depending on the bracelets 😧
I'm like jack, well done to him for having made money for himself and the house etc do not bother me. (If I had money, I'd buy nice things too!) But, Alfie, seriously? This video of all videos to show off on?
He even got given donuts free because people recognised him, told everyone to spend £40 on a therapist, said how he wants to be able to do it and bargain (aka use his fame to get more free stuff), and finished it with giving the change (7p) to a charity box and acted like he'd just saved someone's life 😠
Jen Pickering £50,000 for a bracelet?! I would have to work for 10 years and spend nothing out of my wages to earn that! I don't even have words to describe how I feel towards his video 🤷🏻
She clearly only meant the t-shirt for 2 days wage, not all of it LOL smh
The fact that he doesn't even know what he spends on coffee tells enough of what little money means to him and how ignorant he is towards people who live in poverty
Literally praise the actual fckin lord we have Jack because he’s actually in touch with reality
baby kitten touchdareality
I remember when Emma Blackery did a similar video and she was trying to raise awareness of the poverty in the UK it was a big insight, the difference between her video and alfie's is massive
Charlotte Whiteing I totally forgot about that, this is such a good point!!
It really is its amazing how distant people can be to the rest of humanity.

Was going to comment this, completely right!! Her video was informative and gave a proper insight into the difficulties people face everyday.

Alfie: “May or may not have done some shopping in town”
Me: *on the verge on flipping my desk and throwing my laptop out the window*
I used to love Alfie and Zoe, grew out of watching vloggers, and seeing them bragging about their riches years later is absolutely disgusting and disrespectful.
I too don’t see them as malicious people with bad intentions, but they deserve the backlash so they know that they should not do something like this again.
Emilia Xi agreed even the dutch vlogger i used to watch is kinda like this nowdays driving around in his porsche like it is nothing then being pulled over by the police way too many times then getting a fine.. and he is just like oh well whatever like i don’t understand people like these.. i’ve never been rich and i am happy with all i have.. i don’t need a super expensive car i would be fine with a car that is way old as long as it has been well kept up and drives safely... i don’t need some super big house or clothes that are of some kind of brand..
Litch The Shinigami I love the way you look at things. Being grateful for what you have is the key to happiness. Bragging like these people do is arrogant and I don’t know what they are trying to achieve? Are they trying to clap back at “haters” or do they just want people to think that they are happy... because they’re rich? I don’t get it...
When vloggers first became a thing they were seen as refreshing because they were real people living real lives. I remember an article in a mag which claimed that teens were no longer interested in celebs because they would rather see real people on RUclips. Now the vloggers are just as privileged and out of touch. If I am going to watch some overprivileged nitwit I'd rather watch a celeb as at least they are glamorous and move in interesting circles! It does astonish me that Alfie is so idiotic that it didn't occur to him that mentioning a shopping haul in a video of this kind would attract criticism.
LauraBristol Absolutely. When I was in school I found my life to be so boring and repetitive that I enjoyed watching blogs and live in their world for a while, but now... It’s not the same. It’s like every vlogger is going out of their way to brag and show of their “glamorous life” and it’s just not fun anymore.
Yeah I feel like they've just completely lost touch with who their audience is. Especially because they made so much money so young.
This video spoke to me. I live in Brighton, unemployed, disabled, often without money for food. People don’t tend to understand. I’ve had better off people just tell me to go buy food. They don’t understand the concept of having no money at all. My partner and I have subsisted on flour and water for days before. A typical meal is pasta and tinned tomato, or some kind of vegetable soup. Homelessness is a massive issue in Brighton, and food poverty is one across the UK. He does touch on some interesting points though. Like that feeling you can’t leave your house, absolutely. Except my house isn’t a mansion it’s a flat with high rent that would probably fit in his master bedroom. Jack is absolutely correct, these people just don’t have any concept of having low income, they are oblivious to the strife of millions of others in this country alone. We live in the same city, sure, but it’s a different world.
Jared Newbery hang in there friend. I hope things work out for you :)
Jared Newbery I’m American so my only insight into English life is through Alfie & Zoe. I thought that was how everyone lived. Nice houses, nicer vacations. I’m sorry to hear it isn’t. Thanks for giving me insight into how the rest of England I don’t see lives.
KimOlson1993 it’s okay I know the media can give a warped view of life in different places. It’s hard to find exact numbers but:
About 5-6% are the elite, earning big money, Zoë and Alfie are in the top 1% of that elite. Somewhere between 25-30% are middle class: high personal money, good jobs, comfortable lives, etc. 15% are transitory, coming from a poorer background but with better paid jobs. ~49% fit into a very broad lower class, from service industry workers to ‘traditional’ style workers. Included in that is about 15% that fall into the poorest of the poor.
So, most people have it okay, some people are on the up, some people live their lives in comfort, some are richer than all hell, and some are poorer than you’d believe.
Jared Newbery Wow! 😮 So are Zoe & Alfie like the Kim & Kanye of England??? (Idk a better comparison. Beyoncé & Jay-Z?) I really didn’t realize they were THAT rich!
I’d probably fall in the “middle class.”
Not even close, Z&A have a net worth of ~£3 million, whereas B&JZ have a net worth of $1.16 billion. If Z&A are the top 1-2% then B&JZ are the top 0.1%
Worth noting a difference between the US and UK. ~1.5 million people in the US are millionaires, compared to only ~800,000 in the UK. (in the US there are 540 billionaires, compared to 104 in the UK)
I grew up what used to be called upper-working class, now referred to as 'transitory'. Parents grew up poor but got better-paying jobs (and a college education). But times are hard, plus me and my siblings don't have large parental pots of money to fall back on.
I could imagine Alfie turning around to a homeless person and saying “why are you homeless, just go home!”
@@loodoesmusic it was a joke😭

I mean Alfie it was so fun that day we went without food because my parents couldn't afford it. It was fun wondering if today was the day we were going to get kicked out of our house. Thanks Alfie for your very sensitive video 👍

That’s not what he‘s saying. He’s saying food is far cheaper there
Being Thai, I felt personally attacked by his comment on Thailand. Yes, it's "cheap" because a single pound sterling is about 43 baht. It's cheap because you already earn a lot in your currency and when you convert it to our currency, it's even more. I'm glad Jack is talking about this video. He had good insights as to what exactly is wrong with this video.
misty2090 god I'm actually really sorry. It's not right that he is saying that about you
Emmarellda1 Thank you for your kind words.
yeah it's only cheap if you come from richer countries with stronger currencies, obviously not for the people living there lol
I live in Prague (which Alfie mentioned) and I agree so much! Thank you.
misty2090 I totally agree, I'm half thai. What he said is so ignorant and rude x
Being someone who lived on the poverty line for over a year, living on food bank handouts, and tokens, I applaud you for Making this video, I remember being so appreciative of those who donated items to the food bank I used, and being thrilled with branded baked beans.. now in a job and having a home and being able to support myself I always donate to local food banks, some people don’t even have a pound to their name, i wish he could mention some charities or helplines in the video and not come across the way he did when holding that pound, I remember having to buy the reduced items with 5ps I was finding in cracks of my sofa and paying at the self checkouts because I felt like a failure on not only myself but my family thank you for sharing some light jack we appreciate you speaking out for those who can’t.

It winds me up that he gets things for free just because he’s famous. It’s disgusting that companies, like Krispy Kreme in his video, just dish out freebies to those with a shit ton of money but won’t hand out free donuts/hot drinks to those with literally nothing living out on the streets.
At most, in America you MIGHT get a free glazed donut when there’s a promotion in place or a Krispy Kreme store opens. This is the first video of his that ive watched and he’s extremely out of touch!
JessicaAmy145 tbh ur just jealous u would turn the food down would u
Handing out stuff to homeless people won't get them the advertising it would if Alfie promoted the same stuff to his fans. It's all about profit, morality isn't a part of the equation.
Big Fella jealous? how old are you?
A lot of companies do this. It's for promotion, no other reason. By giving free stuff to celebrities they earn more money in the long run from advertisement, they are a business after all.
That part about 'These people used to be your online best friends, just the girl next door, just the guy next door.. not anymore they're multimillionaires' Not just like you anymore.... so true.

Emma blackery did this ‘challenge’ for a week but she actually did it correctly and used her fame and the challenge to highlight the problems faced by the working class and people living in poverty
Imogen Quick I assumed that was his angle...but oh gosh he got it wrong!
Yes! Emma did this years ago and it was so interesting and insightful, that was a challenge done right.
Emma NAILED it...Alfie should’ve taken notes
Imogen Quick her fame? She isn’t famous lol
LMFAO she’s famous within the RUclips community
Ya see when Emma blackery did this it was legitimate and she took time to talk about the poverty issues. Alfie's just a bit of a knob.
When Caitlin Shoemaker did the Living Below the Line Challenge, too, she actually reflected on how it affected her and how hard it was for her and how much harder it would be for people who do live below the line. That's how this should be done.
I’ve seen people attempt this challenge and not make an ass of themselves too, I think. This was just ridiculous.
Some people don't even have running tap water
Growing up in a village in Kenya the back pain you get just from carrying containers of water from the river, lasts a lifetime. I don't think he realises how serious this really is.

Brighton Aldi shut for refurb a few months ago, I had to walk all the way from Hove to the Lidl by the Marina in a thunderstorm.
@@blakspiderpariskult8390 its open again dont worry
When I was a student a would go to Tesco at night hours and buy the discounted to pennies vegetables / produce they were selling. Then ofc Lidl/Aldi for any dry ingredients etc… this guy is so out of touch
@@maggiepp7997 that's what my dad did then go to the bakery at the end of the day ask for a Pasties that fed me and him. Now I eat decent and we live better because my dad had to grind his ass of I Uni in his 40's with my Stepmum helping
@@lorddarlo6194 Yup! There is so many tricks and tips you can do to save you some pennies. I also heard that some people but discounted sandwiches and freeze them and they can have them for lunch in the future. I haven’t personally done it as I much prefer fresh food(especially bread) but it is a useful tip for anyone reading.
Things like that will get you really clever with money and savvy. I am too still bargain haunting even though I’m okay with money now.
He also said on Twitter that he didn’t mean to offend anyone and that everyone is making these videos. I think he doesn’t understand where he went wrong and that’s the worst part
girl l nope it’s the whole sorry you got offended. He’s so high up his own arse it’s too dark to see anything
I used to admire them, but after seeing how they are now.. it's kinda disappointing. And yeah, he doesn't even know what was wrong with the video.. it reminds me when Zoe apologized for the price of the Advent Calendar like the point it wasn't that was too expensive, it was that the things inside were a joke, things that literally you could buy at the dollar store and yet she didn't realize anything wrong.. meh :c
Rewatching this 4 years later, and its still hilarious
I remember a few years back when Emma Blackery did the “live below the line” challenge for five days which was so much more put together and respectful that this utter shit show. She lived off £5 for five days and explained how she fully budgeted everything and how harder she thought it was than she originally thought it was going to be. Emma carried it out in such a respectful and sincere way which showed you how appreciative she was for her lifestyle and further went on about how you can help families living below the line. I think that Alfie has completely lost touch with how the rest of the country lives and doesn’t appreciate the challenges that people have to go through on a daily basis just to put food on the table. He’s been so absorbed in this privileged lifestyle which he has made for himself that he’s become blinded to real life problems and not just “ah shite I can’t use my ice machine because I have £3 filtered water in there”. Like you said I don’t think he meant any harm but his ignorance definitely shows through this video, especially by how much he’s laughing about he can’t have a protein shake or has to use a specific tap because the other water is too costly.
"Mocking the poor" is literally the reason i dont watch Alfie or zoe anymore they overly shove there money in our faces and all of what you say they're doing is so true. Ive lived on very little money growing up as my mam had to look after me and my sister on benifits and it makes my life feel like shit. Thank you for this vide as i feel like the only one who sees this. Its tough being lower class 😕
Kitakat believe me you aren't lower class if you can go on RUclips and these things like I've been to Africa with a few mates doing helping to build schools and stuff and like these people live on the equivalent of 20 pence a day.. you are doing okay lol
being disadvantaged isnt a competition my guy. being lower class in any situation is tough
Toulaye Ba wow that's so deep but true. You are blessed for everything. Life is a gift and you should be grateful.
Kitakat your mum is a good person for looking after 2 children on benefits. You’re a real family. Big respect to you guys,good to see you turning your back on the rich snobs that tell you how to think
Dan G but they are lower class in the uk... you can't compare circumstances to people in Africa because we all know that every single person in the uk would be considered upper class to those who live in slums. Just because people in Africa have it worse doesn't mean people don't have a right to be upset about their financial circumstances
It's also worth highlighting the fact that he only drinks bottled water.
In one video (I can't remember when) his weekly Ocado delivery arrives with several multi-packs of plastic bottled water - and he says that he only drinks bottled water because he doesn't like tap water. We're fortunate enough to live in a country with some of the purest tap water on the planet, and yet while the rest of us are trying to cut down on our plastic usage (y'know, because it's killing the environment...) he openly jokes about how many bottles they get through a week!
As someone with as much influence as him, he should not be promoting the frivolous use of single-use plastics. I don't think he's a bad person - he's just incredibly disconnected from the rest of the world. I cringed so much when he was talking about all the things he bought for himself on his 'living on £1 day.'
AGREED. a better option is to get a reusable, stainless steel water bottle. that's so much easier and cheaper than constantly going through small plastic water bottles! i have a decent sized water bottle from this website www.drinkfinity.com its really useful. i recommend it to literally everyone, check it out
James B people that only drink bottled water seriously need a reality check....
I’ve never really understood the fussiness some people have over tap water... it doesn’t taste of anything 🤷🏼♀️
what's wrong with bottled water? I only drink bottled water but I ain't rich, I'm a student living in a different city than the one I grew up in but still, one bottle is like 12 cents (1.5 Liters)
Alfie's also mis-informed, drinking out of plastic is bad for you. IF he had any inkling about health, he'd be drinking water kept in glass bottles. Also better for the environment as they can be recycled.
"wash your hands! I'm quarantining you!" me watching in 2020: 👁👄👁
That beard comb had me on the floor XD For that little bit of bum fluff?! XD
Walking costs more than a 💷
"bum fluff" :'D
💀⚰️
It actually is aswell
Bro I remember u, such an OG clash player!
I think I would be genuinely embarrassed to be Alfie's partner. I get he makes a good living from RUclips, and thats amazing, but his content is so childish and young. At some stage in a day, does Zoe not think, grow up and act like a man?
Victoria Jane poor thing turned into his mum she’s 28 life gonna be long
He literally caters his whole vlog channel to Zoe's young fan base, cause thats how he gets those views
Well Zoe’s pushing 30 and still acting 20 so she’s probably fine with the arrangement as it stands. I know what you mean though. It’s embarrassing!
she speaks like a kid
Katie S
She acts like she's just turned 20. It's unbelievable how childish she acts compared to her actual age.
“Think of Nala” I’m actually dead 😂 okay I’ve been a supporter of Zoe and Alfie for probably close to 6 years and wow.... thank you for this. They say they don’t want to talk about money because it’s none of our business but they constantly talk about money now. Where’s the substance behind the sweatshirts and body lotions! They originally made money on their originality and now they make money because they’re pretty and have lifestyles that give people a 20 minute escape that allow them to feel for a second like they have rich friends. They aren’t our friends. They’re profiting off of our poverty now. Crazy.
Dani Rudy I mean I used to LOVE Zoe and Alfie and the whole squad so to say but now it’s just like all the originality is lost so I absolutely agree with ya
I used love Zoe and Alfie but video has really shown me how bigheaded they are, the advent calender was very bad, but making a fun challenge out of something that is really serious and people have to do this everyday is so insensitive
@Forgotten Wolf Couldn't have put it better myself, all my opinions on Zoe and Alfie are in this comment
Don’t you mean they profit from their viewers naivety rather than poverty?
I have 3 children and ace to buy the bread when it drops to 4p a Tesco at 7 and sometimes don’t eat to let my children eat it’s real life
Kane ppplppppolplppppppppplppolp
But you have a device to comment this ? 😂
Good luck 💗 Sending lots of prayers
Jude Paskell How do you know what they’re using to comment? Plus phones are a pretty essential part of modern life.
heringe Oh fuck off.
Wait, I’m genuinely confused why he could work with his trainer but he couldn’t have ice...?
Lindsay Heath I think it might be because he was only counting food & water towards his 1 pound
One of the realist, funniest and most underrated youtubers out there oml
lewis the llama hey hey
Sophie Blunt true
Welp, to put it bluntly...
What the hell soph 1.5k likes 😂😂
Izzay Blunt the fame keeps comin
Really happy we still have some youtubers that are as honest and real as Jack
Well in his defense, he didn't spend ONE quid, he spent HUNDREDS of them.
The Google search of "wot do poor people eat lol" made me spit out my tea. 😂
Me too 😂
He put lol ... he bloody put LOL what an absolute tool
Rachie doodle did you not watch the video
Ara Hi obviously, it’s a joke
Helen ray I saw you profile pic and for a sec I freaked out thinking you were pewdiepie 😂😅
“Thinking about it, I didn’t even have a protein bar this morning”.... is he for real. Lmaooo, I’m howling! 🤦🏻♀️
beabookworm right??? Protein bars are my literal breakfast
i think that Alfie is one of those ppl who think that if you don’t have a lot of money then you just haven’t worked hard enough, because he has probably worked hard to get what he has. but the issue is he has had opportunities that other people never will but he doesn’t realise that
@@melo3427 yeah he would not even be where he is without zoe, honestly I think zoe would be way further without him and he would still be living in his parents house till 22😶
I’m 2 years late with this reply, but no Alfie hasn’t worked hard for his lifestyle at all it’s all down to Zoe and even she doesn’t work hard anymore either.
@@Camilla550 yup he's literally known as
Zoellas boyfriend that's his official title In life literally would not have any of this without her which is interesting cause usually its women who become mega rich marrying / dating a rich man so it is interesting to see the reverse happening
when he said he went shopping i genuinely laughed man
mockingariana2
Same 😂😂
hannahisnotfunny - and what's wrong with a beard comb? I was going to get one for my sister for Christmas! :)
good for you😒
showmoke given it’s your sister I don’t think she’d like a beard comb
@Skyebright1 ;)
I lost it at the cows grazing on cous cous 😂🤣👏👏👏
Look What She Bought 😂😂😂😂😂
Look What She Bought I enjoyed writing that line. Glad it worked!
JaackMaate love your content as it's always quality 💯🔥 and thanks for replying its made my day :)
I’ve only got as far as empty glass of water and I’m already howling 😂😂😂😂😂
‘ZOELLA DIDNT SELL CALENDARS FOR THIS’
I unsubbed Zoe & Alfie a while back for being snobs. I'm glad Jack said that, it's true! A year ago I hurt my back & couldn't work, neither could I prepare my food. A lifesaver was my local petrol station next door that sold meal deal sandwiches for 3 pounds inc a drink and a snack, so I could afford it & they are high in calories so it meant I was surviving. I had 1 every day, it was a life saver. Either that or warm soup. I blame companies who pamper and indulge their every whim, like Chewton Glen Luxury treehouses, who give Zalfie free everything in return for vids. So one day they were traveling there (btw prices start at 3k *per night* you could stay in the Maldives cheaper than that!! ) with the sister, bf, his parents, all free, when they stopped off at a petrol station and realized they had skipped lunch. They were looking at those sandwiches like they were FILTH. They turned their noses up. Zoe wouldn't even look, Alfie was like no.. this is awful. Honestly it broke my heart, bcos what is he expecting from a sandwich?! In the end he got a boxed cheese treat & nothing for Zoe, at the tree houses they immediately ordered the poshest pizzas I ever saw. It was legit things like Wild Broccoli, Radicchio, Dorset Blue Vinney, Flambards Egg, Violet Artichoke, Pine Nuts. That was one! And rocket and stuff sprinkled on. That's when I realized how they live, and how they're unable to remain humble and appreciative of anything below that. Honestly, it stinks. They don't even have a talent! I can understand a singer etc getting a big ego as they're talented but these two are useless even with basic tasks. It's unbelievable how dense they are. They are also insanely wasteful, jamie oliver gave them a huge top of the range BBQ free for the mansion, they left it dirty all winter so Alfie had to ring his father to bring his tiny portable bbq, which they placed on top of the dirty one so they could eat bbq. That's just one tiny example. Btw that tree house place personalized about a billion things for them, inc chocolates, bath robes, slippers etc in the same font as their yt logos (which they don't do for all) AND even a frigging huge welcome mat for outside their mansion front door, with their name on it & told them to take it home. No joke. I understand someone like Ninja getting Red Bull to sponsor him, he is skilled. Zalfie were sponsored by The Sims and spent 20 mins trying to figure out why they couldn't go upstairs. They'd blocked the way with a pot plant. That's all they had to move. Instead they scratched their heads for ages then finally rebuild that part of the house. haha. Buffoons. Anyway social blade shows both zoe and alfie mostly red, as people flock to unsub. Finally seen the light!!
TheDragonflywings Lol
Charley Bo
Charley Bourne LMAO SAMEEEEEE
"Think of nala " get me every time 😂
It’s insane how out of touch most youtubers are. I honestly think Alfie was privileged growing up as well just from the way he and his family act. It’s crazy
Sharon 100% agree. Zoe too.
I remember once I watched a video where Alfie said he'd never done DIY before because people always built his furniture for him
well duh... they would have only had time to start youtube in the first place because they had no pressure to go out and make a living instead of living off parents...
Alisa V it's not something we're trying to make you ashamed of, it's just that people who are well off tend to act like they understand what it's like not to be... And it's just not the case as evidenced in Alfie's vlog
Alisa V no one is telling your to be ashamed and no one is receiving hate for just being well off. It’s the ignorance that comes with it that many, not all, well off people have because they don’t know the struggle. I’m very glad your family was well off I wouldn’t wish poverty on my worst enemy but Alfie was very clearly ignorant about the whole thing and acting like not having basic luxuries is the end of the world.
He couldn’t use ice omg poor boy :(
Irk:(Bless his cottons:(so deprived:((
Introvert Outside he is braver than the us marines
Ana Maria we must pray for him 🙏🙏 bless his rich- uh i mean poor heart 🙏🙏
The fact that he has no idea about water and how you are actually paying for it... tells us he won't be a multi millionaire for long. He probably has no idea what bills are, he just gets them paid automatically.
I knew about utilities and bills since I was a kid, it boggles the mind how ignorant he is of the true value of money
When he said “we don’t use ice like, urgh” he was definitely going to say “we don’t use ice like normal people” but stopped himself! Bloody tory
Alfie's subcount has gone down 463.3%, he can shove that Cartier bracelet where the sun doesn't shine.
Cartier braclets** there's two ahahaha even worse
DM slider has it? He’s gaining subs isn’t he?
JACK36AFC
I think she means the rate at which he's gaining subs. He really hasn't gained any in the past year or so
Pfftt love it!
He bought a beard comb..what for? The bum fluff on his chin?
I thought the same thing😂 it's sooo fucking far from being a beard you need a comb for
Anya Dicki ok let's not be mean. His still human.
Simran Rodh .............wow
Alfie's video was completely insensitive, he had an oppurtunity to raise awareness of a poverty issue and he was complaining about not having ice in his drink
Empty water... that’s what the working class must drink
alfie's smug voice puts me on edge the moment he opens his privileged mouth
Lollipop Lou yeah i thought that was just me who noticed that.. like his expressions and his voice and all just seem so smug and rude
he has always been pathetic. i dont even know how he got to where he is right now. if it had depended on me, nobody would ever have heard about this guy lmao
Lollipop Lou urghh god yeh wanna smash my own face in with a brick, when he opens his mouth
‘ This area is so nice that the cows don’t even eat grass. They graze on effin couscous’ 😂 made my day you have
You know I used to live on less then a pound a day. It's quite simple actually: 1) Eat half a packet of instant noodles for lunch and dinner each, 2) spend the day motionless so you don't expend expensive calories, and 3) steal your neighbor's chicken. Fuck me Alf, no need to make it so complicated.
Shaina Erika 😂😂😂😂
Yo if life gets complicated I'm writing this down
7:41 “put that down, wash your hands I’m quarantining you” has never rang so true 😱
