Hey! I'm Alanna - a thirty-something documenting my life as a Canadian living in England.
I share the ups and downs of an expat living abroad and what it's really like living in the UK. It's not always easy, but there's been so many wonderful experiences, too. I post a KZfaq video every Tuesday plus an additional video every Saturday on Patreon + YT Memberships. I also livestream every Wednesday and Sunday at 5:30pm GMT/BST on Twitch.

My -face- _fave_ from Red Dwarf, was the forbidden passion fruit jibe from Rimmer to Lister. I remember it well but I'll have to google it to get the exact wording... "Why didn't you have a mum?" "I was abandoned." "Abandoned?" "Six weeks old. A cardboad box underneath the pool table. I was just abandoned in this pub." "How could anybody do that?" "I don't know. I never found out." "Well, I'd have thought it was obvious. *Two people, unable to contain their desires, had an illicit liason. A liaison that an unforgiving society would not accept. And you were the fruit of their forbidden passion. You're forbidden passion fruit."* "What are you saying?" "I'm saying, Lister, that there's a very real possibility that your parents were brother and sister." "Hey, I'm baring my innermost here! What kind of remark is that?" "How many toes have you got?" - _Rimmer taunts Lister_ Sidenote; I just found an old website with loads of quotes. I'll post that separately. edit: typo

Indeed! - the ending of the Blackadder series was very poignant! - wouldn't get away with that sort of sobriety in an American sit-com (I'd love to be proven wrong though)
@Bartok_J Ай бұрын
I've also heard the suggestion that North American audiences want the star of the show to be the cool guy with the funniest lines, whereas British audiences expect them to be the butt of the jokes. Though I'm not convinced - Fonz in Happy Days certainly fitted into the first category, but Family Guy and American Dad? No. An awful lot of British sitcoms also centre around people being trapped in situations with people they have a strained relationship with: Steptoe and Son, Arkright and Granville (Open All Hours), Mainwaring and Wilson (Dad's Army), Fawlty and Manuel etc.

Loved your "chuffed" joke about the steam train prize, Alannah!😅 It was a joke, wasn't it? You did say it on purpose, didn't you? If you didn't you're more British than you thought.

Of the clips show the South Korean one with the 2 kids and wife coming in is the best one, it still makes me laugh every time I see it. The way the daughter walks in is fantastic and it just gets better from there.

I've watched a few of your vids today and I am amazed someone actually posts positive stuff about the UK. Lovely to hear your comments about our quirks etc. It's nice to be reminded we are not all that bad, really. As far as humour is concerned, have you watched Brassic ? Farmer Jim is Northern British humour at it's coarsest brilliance.
