Mailbag: Giant Bomb Mailbag: Diabetes UK Edition

@TEG: No, because I wasn't trying to be an asshole. I hear about all kinds of crazy candy from other places, and we just don't have them here.

Did Ryan really just call Cadbury's chocolate 'primo European chocolate'? Really?

Man, you guys need to come to the EU more and get some Belgian/Swiss stuff. NO COMPARISON.

@SleepyDoughnut: More accurate summary, no matter how many times they are told Americans still cannot grasp Ireland isnt in the UK

To most Americans, the UK is all of Europe. We're not taught these things in school, but it also doesn't help that most don't expand their world knowledge after graduation. Welp.

Dammit, now I look like an ass. I thought that was a term that incorporated that whole area, but I guess the closest term would be British Isles? I never hear the term British Isles though. Ya got me, I fucked up, but it was an honest mistake of terminology.

Wow, someone spend €105 posting that from Ireland. That's insane. I mean I like Giant Bomb, but that's £85! (or $138!) You've got to be certifiably crazy to spend that!

I really think the name of this video should be Diabetes Ireland Edition: I really think the Irish would be rather miffed to be considered part of the UK when they're an independent nation: Only Northern Ireland is. I speak as a British person myself.

P.S. I've got that magnetic Cool Wall on my fridge. Double Deckers are the best chocolate bar in existence. You haven't lived if you haven't had one.

I'm from Northern Ireland and even I think this. Guys need their cred.

great mailbag, looks like 10 different types of cavities lol

enjoy the real sugar for a change

IRELAND IS NOT PART OF THE UK IDIOTS. THIS IS EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE AND MUST BE CHANGED!!

Well done who ever sent this in! UK represent!! Definitely one of the best mailbags i've seen these guys get so far..............maybe because i'm a top gear fan!

knew this video would get people's backs, frankly im surprised more people aren't offended by them suggesting it was a bomb after seeing it posted from Ireland.

@SleepyDoughnut:Okay everyone whos confused as to what is and isnt Ireland just read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminology_of_the_British_Isles

@DougQuaid: Would you explain your trolling? Or just kindly stop.

They suggested it was a bomb before they had opened the box, the letter saying where it was from was inside the box, so they had no idea where it was from.

As a UK bloke, I can confirm that Double Deckers are indeed fantastic. I admire the resources some fans have to send so much stuff to the GB crew, I really do.
 
When I am inside of you once more, America, I too shall sample your candy delights.

ew.

Not long now until people just start sending envelopes full of money to get some air time.

Is chocolate in a cup a thing in Europe, or what?

This is how brad dies.. not with a bang.. but with an egg.

Wow. Well done, sir. *claps*

I want an Alexis massage.

I remember when I had resources, sigh. Goddamn I need to get back to work.

It almost sounded like they were all on a strict diet when they opened the box, but soon the groans of a diet gone by the way side took over.

8:34 - Its not for girls Patrick. So you need not know what a Yorkie is.

Just Kidding. I Like Patrick

Bye, Brad. We'll miss you. :(

YORKIE. They're not for girls. Enjoy.

If you're not from Belgium, you are not allowed to sent chocolates because basically, non Belgium-chocolates, suck.

Ireland is not part of U.K. We left as the couldnt handle our awesomeness!

@Brad: A short video on the correct use of the UK

Now I really want chocolate, goddamnit.

Oh my god I would kill for some chocolate right about now ;(

@sciential said:

Americans aren't bad at geography; just indifferent. Is Ireland not a part of England anymore? Oh well, what do you expect from us Colonials?

Ireland was never part of England, it was part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Since Ireland is no longer part of it, the country is now officially the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

/pedantry.

Opening a large black box post marked from Ireland? Hah! you guys are brave, i'd get a metal detector on it first ;)

they broke there video player, i can't get it to work on FF or chrome... wtf

Man, this might be one of the craziest mailbags they've ever got. Quite the haul.

Ryan, thank you so hard for pronouncing 'diabetes' a la Family Guy's depiction of Wilford Brimley. Thank you.

My plan to watch this on Easter 2013 is now complete.

this is the exact moment brad got diabetes
