"a _nunion_ " honestly made my cry
Did you know that an orange used to be called a norange?
That’s the power of the vegetable he was talking about
So does the onion
@@xXMattMateXx so powerful it can make you cry even if you mispronounce it.
The worst part is now I feel like I do that
After carrot in a box I think Jon might have discovered another way a carrot can make you cry.
To be honest though, I think Sean Locke is the one that made Jon cry those times...
was that scripted btw?
😂😂😂👌so good! Thank you for this comment1
Underrated comment
😂😂
The way I actually gasped when Jon gasped at the end of Prince Charming’s and Cinderella’s argument!🤣 I was so invested in their relationship drama!😂😂😂
Me too, I want to hear more on that!
Love how invested the audience got in Cinderella's relationship drama

Cinderella Is Just Misogynistic Rubbish | Jon Richardson | Universal Comedy 2225pm 30.7.2 did they make that bread he made a sandwich with with sick?........... or is that another anecdote.... i thought he was talking about being drunk and thinking about food... feeling sick.. erm...
3:30 "Oh I was just hungry." laughed so abruptly I peed myself a wee bit! Never has a line resonated so very deeply.
You peed yourself a WEE bit
@@BlahBlah-cn3cs HA! YES!!!!!
'Hi welcome to dinners' makes me happy
Because you do it too
@@xaviersmith2199 true...
To be fair, the disney-fairytales arent the original ones, they are a softer version of the already softer grimm-versions. The originals are much more brutal and often without a happy end.
I heard some of the originals in elementary school. And then wanted to be traumatized more as an adult so I bought a collection of original fairy tales.
Most of them end in brutal murder, sometimes unexpected and an obvious overreaction to what happened before in the story.
One of the fairy tales (forget what it was called) takes place in the city I currently live in. Two people fall in love and want to get married, she's a commoner and he's rich, his mother opposes the marriage and the couple decides to deal with it by tying a rock to her feet and throwing her in the river drowning her.
Some stories also don't make much sense in our current year because we lack the cultural context the stories were written in.
You don't know what's going on and then suddenly... orrible murdurr again.
Actually fairytales go so far back we don't actually know the "originals". Just various versions of them :)
I just want to have movies of the original fairytales since they’re more interesting than Disney’s
I think the original cinderella had her step-mother and sisters executed, and in the original snow white the evil queen was her *birth* mother.
@@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118 at least you can see the morals in the originals, like you would notice mother of a rich heir woudn't be happy to welcome some social-climber girl with no education and nothing to her name to the family, it's at least teaches some real life morals. Instead of stupid ideas Disney feeding to young girls, of how physical beauty is the most important thing in woman's life, and just on the back of you being pretty you should get some crazy rich and loving prince charming, who will solve all your problems.
Hey there's a term for when the N migrates in a phrase. I don't remember the term, but napkins used to be apkins, aprons used to be naprons. The change happened because "an apkin" drifted over to "a napkin," and "a napron" drifted to "an apron."
Okay just looked it up, it's called misdivision, metanalysis, or rebracketing.
I never knew that!
Also "an orange" used to be "a norange".
That was legitimately interesting, thanks!
That explains why my grandma called me an "obhead" the other day.
This is why my soups always contain 2 onions.
Twions?
@@pal8542 twonions
A pair o' funions
You can also try ONE onion instead of an onion.
Two nunyons.
I never really thought about how absolutely screwed up Cinderella really is. The Fairy Godmother had some pretty far reaching powers, yet she basically got her dolled up to go hook a prince at a party. Somehow this is supposed to be an epic love story for girls, where guys are expected to be this Prince Charming, come in and lift her out of this oppressive situation, and she can just be pampered happily ever after.
I'm with Shrek on the response to this imagery.
I think Jon is my favourite comedian of all time, he has the same kind of pessimistic thoughts as I do, but I just annoy people if I voice them, he brings joy to millions with them… genius.
As we're talking about little things to annoy you, I just want to point out that adding sugar to carrots doesn't "bring out the sweetness", you're just making it sweeter by adding sugar...
A pinch of salt would bring out the sweetness.
i only went into the comments to find this one or type it myself. thanks for saving me the time!
An important part of Cinderella that everyone seems to forget is that Cinderella's appearance was changed with the fairy godmother's magic so that her step-mother and step-sisters wouldn't recognize her.
But then why can't the magic just make THEM not recognize her? And if you spout some lousy nonsense like, well love blah blah blah. He searched AN ENTIRE KINGDOM for her and he needs a stupid shoe to prove his love??
Isn't that a really stupid plot device then?
Oh I fell in love with a girl at first sight and then when I found someone who the shoe she dropped fit the girl looked totally different!
I mean how likely is a prince to meet someone at a dinner party and learn enough about them to go off much more than physical attraction? Not like he knew her life story or got a great front row seat of how kind she was to the animals.
@@Namron9797 That's,,,, that's literally what happened. The magic only changed her appearance for Stepmom and Stepsisters.
And Prince Charming didn't search the entire kingdom. He didn't even know that a search was being performed. The King decided that. He just wanted his son married, and he didn't care if the shoe belonged to the right girl or not. Prince Charming wasn't even in the room for that discussion.
Interesting thing to talk about, there's some videos where they talk about how Cinderella wasn't actually THAT revolutionary of a story
The prince doesn't marry a peasant, he marries a "poor rich girl". He still married within the noble class, so no actual social rules were broken.
His comedy has given me so much hope over the years
well .. technically, Cinderalla is not about love , the ragged girl and the price ... Cinderalla was NOT a commoner, she was in fact a lady who was uzurped by the evil step mother ....so the story is more about a diamant shinning even if it's covered in mud.
But somehow everyone misses this ...
It's also about a girl who knows how to work and - if you've seen 3 Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel (which is a fantastic film) - who's smart enough for riddles and fit enough to go hunting instead of just looking pretty and singing to birds on a balcony. I mean I get the "diamond covered in mud" analogy but I'm honestly sick and tired of princess stories implying that the only thing that makes someone notice you is being pretty. Btw the prince in the movie I mentioned as well learned the lesson that there's more to a girl - or any person really - than the way she dresses and acts at a social occasion. I wholeheartedly recommend watching that film. I've been watching it with my family every year on christmas and I don't think I'll ever quit that tradition. Not trying to bash your views on Cinderella but the frase "somehow everyone misses this" made me want to show you that it's not a matter of understanding the plot but rather a matter of perspective regarding the story.
@@diosdehuecomundo I like the modern spin off as much as everybody else, but the original story is nothing like you've describe.
The story is middle age , and reflects the middle age mentality .
Is not smartness, witt , or hard work that saves Cinderrela, it's MAGIC ,made by family - her godmother who "happens " to be a fayrie.
And it was also the lack of a good family that condemned her in the first place- her father disregarding her - the worse thing that could happen to someone in those times.
The only atribute that is praised in Cinderrela , beside her decorative looks , is her obedience and resignation to her fate, the "slave mentality" who was so apreciated by christians...especially in a women ...
There is a reason why there is NO story about a prince marrying a low birth woman.. and when it DID happen , rumours about wichery and evil started around her ...This is what they belived then - you are your father's son or daughter , and your place in society was decided at birth.
@@diosdehuecomundo That film sounds interesting, I will look out for it, thanks.
@@speedy7040 Neither the most famous version of the Grimm brothers (1812), nor the older french Version (1679) which is closer to the Disney one were written or published in the middle ages.
There's no fairy in the Grimm's Version and her good nature, diligence and relationship to her dead mother are what help her with her fate. The fairytale can be interpreted in a lot of ways and from different viewpoints and it's luckily alot more interesting than just that bleak stereotypical perception we sometimes have about the past. Oh, and Cinderella isn't a "low birth" woman in any of the popular versions, she's abused in a rich home.
I like that radical 90's Z you put in usurped.
I can't believe I'm actually admitting this but when I was a teenager I used to pretend I was doing a cookery show. I'd do recipes like toast, a bacon sandwich, a bowl of Cereal etc. I used to find it fun cos I had no friends. I still have no friends! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You sound v cool let's be friends 😉
When you want to know why Cinderella is misogynistic, but you need to hear about how to pronounce „an onion“ first...
This is only a small piece. I love it anyway. Jon Richardson is my favorite, he's awesome. Always makes me laugh. I wish he'd do more.
Two days after the wedding, the Prince had her in an asylum.
I maintain, Cinderella just wanted a night off and a nice dress
Legit, she never cared about the Prince XD It was the power-hungry Lady Tremaine and her daughters that were all in a tizzy over the guy! (Of course, I'm only going by the Disney version.) Of course, once the Prince singled her out and spent the evening with her, she was smitten. But even then, she didn't know he was the Prince until she got home! At the time, she just thought he was a nice dude and she had a lovely night with him. The end (so she thought).
Just use two onions. Make a double portion and eat the same tomorrow.
then you're either saying twonions for two onions or suhmunions for some onions
just to be pedantic ;) words that take "an" did originally begin with the N but it got moved to join the A around the time of Chaucer when more people became literate and couldn't correspond the written word with how they spoke which, when added to The Great Vowel Shift led to a period of substantial change in the language.
Not true for onion, at the very least. The word comes from Latin unio via Old French oignon and was unyun in Middle English. None of these words begins with "n".
The article "a" actually comes from "an", not the other way around, which makes your explanation a bit suspect, at least as a generality.
Ok, but why didn't the slipper change back at midnight?
I swear I thought I heard Jimmy laughing! It’s lovely knowing they all support each other!!!
I know! I was watching Josh Widdicombe's DVD a while ago, and at one point it cut to Alex Brooker giggling away in the audience. Love it when you see (or hear) stuff like that.
This might have been the show Rachel went to
He makes me so happy! I laughed more than my cheeks could handle!
I pray to god they will put back the "charity bin" bit that they deleted before 😭😭
Carrots can make you cry as well as nonions!
I can't watch Jon without thinking about Russell talking about them being roommates and Russell constantly trying to drive him crazy. lol
Ok, playing cooking in the kitchen is my favorite! I even have an overhead cameraman as well.
I'm completely with him on the "for fuck's sake" bit.
Hahah... didn't want to moonwalk proper, because people would see he was wearing shoes that were too long for him.
cheers UC
ngl i called daddy long legs, dangled long legs my entire life and no one corrected me
Jon is the embodiment of articulate ire. The man just makes cynicism so enjoyable...Well, enjoyable to watch, anyway. No way woukd I want to live that miserably 😂
Big fan. Never ceases to amaze me comedians memories when doing live stand up. Also currently really enjoying meet the richardsons. Hardly any sitcoms on telly. Thanks. Lucy's accent really amuses me. Like I can talk. I'm from Norn irn. Plus John you are so talented at doing accents.
thanks for the cooking tips!
Richardson getting into his gold JUST as you drop the edit, UC. Know your stuff.
The "marry the prince and live happily ever after" trope is genuinely misogynistic.
You may know this already, but in the US we call this 'hangry'...hungry/angry!!
Sean and Jon did this American Cajun backwoods excursion and Jon talked about this lol
Ban-Kholiday has always been a favourite of mine 😂
Hole smokes you have to get right with yourself dude XD
On a tangent from "a nonion", I once said "fluff" so many times in a row that I now say "f'luff" with an irritating pause to stretch it into two syllables. Another irritating thing, when was the last time you said "fire" with one syllable. Usually comes out as "fie-er".
there are several words that come from the “a nonion” phenomenon, an adder (a nadder), an umpire (a numpire), an apron (a napron)
So true
3:12 exactly!! Everyday..
The old school cinderellas had a dark ending, in one the stepsister had their eyes pecked out so the last thing they saw was cinders in her wedding gown, and her stepmother was forced to dance in red hot iron shoes for making her daughters mutilate their feet to make them fit the shoe, not all fairy tales had a happy ending in the originals
I don't remember eyes being pecked or dancing in hot shoes, but that story of one sister cutting off her toes to fit the shoe, and the other cutting off her heel to fit the shoe, that has stuck in my mind for life. Every single time I hear about that shoe, I think of those mutilated feet.
"oooh i was just hungry" it was like the emotions a toddler goes through haha
Now that I think of it, I think _The Great_ captures what the next few days are like being married to royalty pretty well haha
Ive be watched him on TV, for a few years now and just think he's adorable .
Welcome to the wonderful world of English phonology.
It’s the onion bit!!!
Pretty sure the word orange used to be norange, as it was cognate with the Spanish naranja
Im going to call it an nion in future
Linking consonant to vowel words is natural English though :)
His onion bit makes a cool linguistic point. The "n" in "an" gets tossed back and forth all the time. "An uncle" was originally "A nuncle" . Oranges were Noranges before the A stole its N. Now onions are getting a Nish make over
It doesn't get into the title until after 4:00.
Wow CZcams really know how to ruin viewing with relentless adverts, beginning middle ( several times ) and end. Eight minute video and at least six adverts! It won’t convince me to sign up to premium CZcams, it’ll convince me to go elsewhere. Love Jon Richardson’s comedy 👍
OMG I host that cookery show, too!
When you've seen Cinderella 2 and this is exactly what it's like
2:33 is that Jimmy laughing?
Jon is actually speaking in Middle English
The original story is even more misogynistic. The mistranslation to glass slipper was actually from fur slipper and you can guess what fur slipper means.
No I can't
"and they lived happily ever after" - not in German fairy tales. Here it's "and if they didn't die, they are still living today" which in itself is so lovely German. I mean, it's completely correct, a bit further down the road then it needs to be and slightly unsettling the more you think about it
Fairytales often have the weirdest morals. Especially for girls:
Cinderella - If your face is so dull noone remembers it, better be the only girl in the whole kingdom with your shoe size.
Snow White - You don't get along with your stepmother? Why not share a flat with seven men, then?
Rapunzel - Cut your hair or it will be used as climbing gear.
Sleeping beauty - There's no such thing as a too long nap time.
Beauty and the beast - Look's not everything in a man. Real estate is.
Also: Stockholm Syndrome - not as bad as its reputation.
Well, there IS no such thing as a too long nap time.
@@perfectfiresky Your comment sounds cute, but, just so you know, the reality and consequences of hypersomnia are considerably less fun. May you never have to experience it, and continue to enjoy, and benefit from your naps. :-)
@@daniellamcgee4251 unfortunately I do experience it. Well, not sure if it's to the extent where it needs to be diagnosed, but definitely poses a danger when I'm driving. So not trying to be cute lol but long naps are good
@Karina Peters hahaha how old is old though?
@Karina Peters god forbid you ever have kids if you believe that
Hey,leave Cinders aloone.
The onion, wait that's the parody news that became just as reliable and believable as the rest.
He’s not an idiot he’s just fluent, it’s just phonetics love. #elision
"a nunion" and "an onion" SOUND THE SAME!
I hope Universal Comedy gets all the money it needs from the ads in this video since they clearly must be potless to have to monetise previously-broadcasted material on a tv channel that makes fortunes from countless ad breaks with far more ads too!
I guess they're making money from international viewers that cannot access whatever TV channel may have previously aired it 🤷♀️
Kristen Perry Probably, yes. I just find it unnecessary as I’m sure they make enough off of their tv channel anyway and to monetise the CZcams videos just seems like greed to me. Just my opinion though.
The business met their modest target for maximum earnings, and ceased to monetise because they had earned "enough". They closed down the company, gave away all their product for free, all the employees took paid early retirement, and everyone lived happily ever after. The end.
Night night. Sleep tight.
@@GoggledAgog Very good. Silly, exaggeratedly over the top, nowhere near what I was getting at and an utterly ridiculous alternative as if it was the only one when it isn’t...but well done you. 👍🏻 They’d totally have to do what you said if they didn’t monetise CZcams videos... Jesus bloody wept the level of “intellect” on this platform. 🤦🏻♂️
Must of slowly got supersonic
So, go on , what happened after dinner?
this has ruined my perception of the way I say an onion
What was the last sentence?
"Can you not take the p*ss out of my friends please, 'cause I knew this lot before I picked you out of the gutter!"
Of course adding sugar will "bring out the sweetness" , that's what sugar does, sugar will bring out the sweetness to a turd.
A"Nunion" the religious vegetable.
Do You Know That Glass Animals Song ?
Givem The Slip !
While I like Mr Richardson on the panel shows, I have generally not been impressed with his stand-up.
But this!? This one is good!
The nyunyun is real for Northerners
I’m too slow for this
You can just say the onion instead of an onion
funny but lol has no idea who cinderella is lol
You always cut these off at the worst possible times
I swear there are ads every 90 seconds in this video
We could name churches "nunions"
I don’t have a problem with vegetables. Tax and paying for electric gas and petrol will kill me getting to the point of topping myself not long now. Funny but it’s the only thing I can control
He wasted so much thyme
Adam Sandler vibes, anyone else?
_n o _
not even close
@@PointsofData lmao at this😆
Thank you for describing the cinderella story perfectly!!! This video is going in my "Relationships Comedy" playlist. I love it when funny guys have feminist messages. With all the mysogyny, it doesn't count as much or at all coming from a chick. Love ya John! 😁💕
Who gave this video a #kids hashtag??
Probably somebody who was in too much of a hurry to notice the flaw in the argument "It's #standup #comedy about cooking and #kids."
.
Sounds full of canned laughter :(

Second, lol
Um... i have seen Prince dance... And you're funny... but you're no Prince.
I never subscribed to this...
Cinderella wasn't born poor, she was a lady whose step mother took all the family's money and turned her poor. She was still well bred. Plus it was a masquerade ball I believe, so he couldn't see her whole face.
Good grief.
Exactly Jon gone are the days women were meant to be treated like Princess equal now
Sucks
