"Eat out! Ooh, mum's gonna enjoy that!"

*EAT OUT* “Mums going to enjoy that”

While browsing for a card for my dad, I found this gem "Any man can be a father, but it takes a special man to be a dad, happy *Father's* Day."

“The day where we celebrate all Dads who went out to get cigarettes and came back with cigarettes.” XDDD best and most accurate description.

They really gave Thameslink a good pounding.

I wonder if the Poundland mascot is called PoundLad. If not it should be.

That poundland answer moved me deeply. Honor to PROUDLAND

Go to the Winchester Have a pint And wait for all this to blow over Lovely reference

They are now, ProudLand!

“Eat out, Mums gonna enjoy that!” Did the mighty Ashens jut deliver an innuendo?

I saluted Poundland as a single tear streaked down my face

How the hell is that brown couch not growing something not natural after all these years and random grossness?

In Japan, the rail company had to publicly apologize for 20 seconds delay

The end bit....absolute gold. Solid gold. I have never been nor will likely ever have the opportunity to set foot in a Poundland due to location, but I truly salute them, and hope the tweet was shared in record numbers!

The "wine glas and fork" symbol doesn't mean dishwasher safe, it means it's made from materials that are intended to be in contact with food

Fun special. Pretty cool to see "Poundland" actually respond to a tweet that seemed to have one of dumbest comparisons to date. Have to give them props there. Also those "Tool Pens" made me think of stuff from "Little Tykes", "Playschool", and "Fisher-Price". Poundland always has the greatest cheap tat. :D

I bought one of the telescopic forks ages ago but it was sold as a back scratcher, oh Poundland

Mom's gonna enjoy that!

This many years later and still trains in England haven't got any better 😔 As a train fanatic from England the bit at the end hits deep and I don't even live anywhere in London (it's not just those guys that have this sort of service)

the giant barcode thing is to make it quicker to scan, it's literally just convenience reasons, I've heard

Poundland is SAVAGE.

Love that Shaun of the dead reference.

Never take on the might of Poundland. Unless you are Ashens.

Lol i think the phrase "nick the chips" is the most British thing I've ever heard.

Ashens, this might be the best damn Poundland video to date. An Excellent Tat Review.

The first symbol on the mug means food-safe.

Rolls die 1: COME HOME DRUNK FROM PUB Rolls die 2: NOW *unstraps belt*

Jesus Christ, Mr. Cooke. That was necessarily brutal.

"Eat Out.. Mums gonna like that one!" DEAD

I gave my dad a copy of Attack of the Flickering Skeletons for father's day

My respect for poundland has increased

That message from Poundland was simply amazing

Well bloody hell, Poundland is savage AF

Hi Stu.....my father worked in retail along time ago and your vids make me think of him a lot. He passed away in 2014 and I can remember just before he died he told me a story! I paid him a visit on uk Father’s Day and he said I have something very important to tell you. I looked at him with a confused gawp on my face when he took a small wooden box from under the pillow on his armchair. What was in this box? I’d never seen it before in the 43 years I’ve been here? I used to go searching the house when I was younger but I’d never come across this before in my life!? He started to fill up and said to me in a deep somber voice....”son....this is for you!..I don’t have long left with you on this earth but whatever happens to me, this is my legacy to you. I give you the source of my wisdom which has been passed down through my fathers fathers and generations before. This will help you love, choose, decide and most importantly...understand!” I was enthralled at this point and hung on every word he uttered. He went on..”Son..I’m so proud of you! I could not have wished for a more complete seed to live the name on in our history” he started to cry and the tears ran down both mine and his cheeks! I took the box and 2 days later he passed away peacefully in his sleep. The devastating news of my fathers demise was a hard letter to deliver but being the only son I felt it was my duty. A couple of days after the funeral I was clearing my dads clothes and I found the box. I opened it and inside was a small bit of paper folded up. I looked at the paper with glazed eyes and unfolded it. It pencil was written the word......”pissflap”..........obviously he was an absolute Gonk! Nevermind! I was adopted anyway! Stay lucky you name sharer! 👍🏻🐎

Telescoping fork > backscratcher

Respect to Austin Cooke/Poundland for calling out ThamesLink’s bullshit in such a respectful while destructive manner, even backing himself up with references. Can we just give ThamesLink’s rail contract to Poundland already? It’ll be lovely to get reasonable service for cheap on the train again.

The giant barcodes are something Aldi came up with to speed up their cashiers, and I guess other stores are copying it now.

In the Chester Poundland, an old lady walked into the large store front window and split her head open, blood EVERYWHERE. The staff looked after her and cleaned up the blood. She was ok thank God, even managed to buy what she went in for. Top notch.

Giant barcodes are implemented for easier scanning at the tills, easier scanning = less time scanning = less queues = less staff required at once, another money saving technique so everything in poundland stays a pound

Yesss I love the witty way Poundland responds to people trashing them good for them 🙌🏼

ThamesLink couldn't even fucking spell their tweet correctly all the way through.

Thank God. I was worried you weren't gonna post a Father's Day video.

Gotta love that tiny Shaun of the Dead reference...

That last bit about the tweets was awesome! I'm visiting London next week, coming from the Netherlands.. Should I give Proudland a visit?

That telescopic fork is actually pretty cool. Gonna have to see if I can find one!

"That's impressively long!" Boy, if I had a dime for every time I've heard that...I'd be...well.. *runs away, slams door, and sobs inconsolably*

Thank you for being the father I've never had, Stuart.

"Tool pens, pens for tools" -Ashens 2018

My dad didn't come back with cigarettes.... He smoked them all.

As a person who eats cooking chocolate like candy and hates ferrero rocher, I can definitely say they can be compared. One's delicious, the other is overexpensive shit.

The dark souls bit got me, well done.

A tattoo on the bottom of the foot would be agonizingly painful

The 50fps really enhances the Ashens experience

The Winchester wait for this to blow over ahh them famous lines said by your clone

I have watched almost every video you’ve made and I need to say the commentary in this is perfect. The pound land story is great and from San Diego I am saluting the brand. How cool and astute to fire back so eloquent and condescending. Loved it. Keep up the great work. If I’m ever in London I’ll buy the first round.

Father's day, mother's day, Valentine's day so on....waste of money.....just call it consumerism day

Stuart, have you seen the Kinder eggs with the very good Jurassic World toys. They look great. You can even look at their new app. It's been a little since you last did Kinders, and it's Jurassic Park's 25th.

Must have Barshens action figures now!

My dad is dead but this is one of the most hilarious videos in a while. Thanks Ashens.

“Go to the Winchester - have a pint.” I got that sly Minder reference Ashens!!

This was about people's dads? I thought this was a holiday to commemorate Father Poundland, the Saint of People Who Buy Cheap Gifts For Their Loved Ones.

So in England: -ThamesLink is basically United Airlines -Poundland is Wendy's

“Go to the Winchester, have a pint and wait for this whole thing to blow over” well I need to rewatch Shaun of the Dead now

I haven't watched an Ashens video since, what, 2014? Still as great as ever. It's really comforting to know that not everything I enjoyed in the past has changed completely or is gone.

"eat out", "well mum is going to love that!"

Given the choice of Poundland cooking chocolate and using ThamesLink services, well, it's a no brainer, chocolate, cos I live up north where ThamesLink has no jurisdiction... :P

i never get enough of his cultural references

*You Died* I actually laughed harder than expected.

is it just me or does ashens sound just like Simon pegg especially after saying the most famous quote in Simon pegg history

"Eat out!" Ooh, Mum's gonna enjoy that. Subtle, I like it XD

the "NOW" "MON" thing genuinely blew my mind

Nice ‘Shaun of the Dead’ reference there! Also, the response from Poundland had me in tears! Awesome

Thameslink got SOLID OOFD

“Go to the Winchester, have a pint, wait for it all to blow over.” Anyone else catch that Shaun Of The Dead reference? 😂

Unexpected shaun of the dead quote was unexpected! :D

A quick tip if you want to get the sticker off cleanly, Ashens. Use a hairdryer to heat up the glue that holds the sticker on and slowly peel it back as you heat it up :D EDIT: Just heard the end of the video. My respect for Poundland just skyrocketed.

God damn god dam, I truly have to salute Poundland for that tweet! :D

I just got the “eat out, mums will enjoy that” joke

Go to the pub, chill out and have some pub grub. Sounds good to me. Them dice are spot on!

Love Poundland.. yes some of it is pure Tat and some just poor tat. But they do do some bargains and also sell stuff you cant normally buy in other shops. Cardiff Queen street has like 3 of them in a 10 minuet walk of each other.. and there always busy !!

Has anyone else noticed that father's Day is nine months before mother's Day?

That first symbol on the mug (glass and fork symbol) means it is food safe, not that it is suitable for the dishwasher. I always thought that too, until I had something with that on that said 'not dishwasher safe'! Look up "food safe symbol" on wiki or wherever

I forgot how much I loved this channel.

Haha what the hell, I didn't expect my hometown Welshpool to be in that letter but yes - It did flood very badly and I'm surprised they even bothered. Good on them though.

Nobody: The oh mighty dice: *”N O W”*

The hammer pen look at least harder to lose than a regular one. Edited, thanks to jokerswild00

I love the poundland drama at the end. that was gold. thanks, mate.

Sometimes I fall out of KZfaq and don't watch people's channels. And sometimes they pop up randomly. As this video did. And I love how happy Ashens still makes me. ♡♡

poundland gave a pounding to thameslink.

As someone with tattoos on his arms and chest I would rather have my fingernails pulled out than have the sole of my foot tattooed. Slapping the sole of the foot with wood is actually a legitimate and effective torture. It would be unbelievable agony. 😮👍

Poundland issuing epic putdowns. Now I've seen everything... and am rather impressed :) .

I have a friend who's been job hopping for about a year having been through about 5 jobs, but at the moment they're working at Poundland and they honestly describe it as the best place they've ever worked.

Oi! You got a permit for that fork?

The big / tall barcodes are easier to find and scan. They also take up space that otherwise would have to be filled with content. We have them in America, too.

actually Stuart "an hilarious novelty" is the correct version just like an hotel

As someone who has worked at Poundland I find it very hard to salute anything they do, my experience with their managers has been every bit "Thameslink"

Praise poundland, God bless the motherland of pounds! I salute thee!

'The game's afoot" is originally a quote from the Shakespeare play Henry V, although most people think it's from Sherlock Holmes.

I'm not even British and I would shop at poundland for life

He really said "I'mma end this man's whole carreer!"
