I love Ollie's 'excuse' to go find Josh in Paris 😄
I swear just makes me think he was either lonely or bored or jealous 😅😂😂😂
Naturally.
Lol literally how I am with my friends 😂
🤣🤣
Hahaha the “first wife” is back making trouble hahaha
Ok so the french thing is actually a kouign-amann, it is a pastry with a lot of butter from bretagne, a region known for its butter with salt.
oh wow thankyou this is the answer I've been looking for.. I'm so curious, I've looking into google and haven't find the answer to it
thats my fave type... I was going to comment it but hey you got it first..
Kouign-amann is my personal fave. Winning anytime anyday.
tq!😍
Same Kouign Amann are my favorite too
the "french thing" looks like Kouign Amann for me ; a breton cake made of 50% butter and 50% sugar and caramel, absolutely delicious
ou un chausson
D'ac. Main je n'en suis pas sûr.
@@cavaalli vu comment il y avait ps l’air de compote ou quoi dedans chus pas sur 🤷♂️
@@J0_20 t'as raison c t inconnaissable lol
Definitely a kouing aman
Ollie nearly killed me when he said "Is romance already dead?" and "the French thing". Also am I the only noticing that Ollie keeps on getting the bigger piece when Josh off rips his share of the croissants?
The way Josh's face lights up the moment he sees Ollie and the way he never stopped smiling around him the whole vid is seriously sooo wholesome. 02:38 and this moment basically sums up how they both function on one single brain cell. Lmaoo
Lmfaooo this is so true 😂
"ah, sofa."

Jesus Christ loves you. Please remember this. Thanks
@@shawnkim8542 yes I know, he speaks to me every day.
“What was he (Josh) doing while Gabie was alone in Paris […] So I headed over to keep him company” Truly first wife energy here 😂
We all know what Josh was doing in Paris.... Gabie.
Please do not forget the love and sacrifice of Lord Jesus Christ. God loves you. Thanks
@@shawnkim8542Yes, we know he loves us because he created things like French bakeries! I mean, I think that's proof that God exists, that...... and bacon!
Ollie's petulant "Why not?!" when Josh refused to lady-and-the-tramp it a second time is a personality type in itself
Watching a 13 minute video about two best friends eating pastries on a bench is surprisingly my kind of content
The dichotomy between these two whilst being inseparable best friends is what makes these videos. Love these two like family.
I love them together 😂
Jesus Christ loves you. Please remember this. Thanks
This is lovely. Too many times I hear people saying French cuisine is overrated without them having ever tasted anything authentically French. But dammit, as a French living abroad, do I miss my local boulangerie and its tasty French pastries.
I've lived in France the past two years, and never have I been more certain that French cuisine is overrated 😅
French pastries are above all others. I live in a small city in Australia, and every single one of the top pâtisserie chefs here left Australia to study for years in France before returning (I'm friends with a couple of them). Their products are incomparable from home grown chefs.
French pastries are good , but any other food is bland , not original and overrated
@@adammcdonald6870 and have you tried all the regional dishes to say that? and u know that the term " cuisine" involve everything, pastries, cheese, dishes etc
i find italian cuisine to be more overrated than french cuisine. And i say that as a french with italian origins
@@ngangnaganag How can you call French food unoriginal? It's an entire, distinct cuisine.
I must do a precision for all here, the " French Thing " is called a Kouign-Amann " (pronounced Kween-a-man ) which is actually a traditional butter cake from Brittany ( the tip of France ). It's the most butteriest, richest patisserie in france, and it does tastes as amazing as Josh and Ollie make it look like.
I'm Parisian and I'm just grateful you made me discover the "French Bastards" bakerys compagny. The pastries look very trendy but they taste super good and they are not overpriced. The salty caramel caramel was a nice discovery, thanks guys !!
i remember this, i was following gabie's channel where she was studying chocolate in paris alone at a culinary school, josh decided to visit her, what she thought was gonna be romantic turns into a jolly video cause ollie showed up too.
Isn't it more romantic to have both wives with Josh in Paris? 🤣🤣🤣

I think it's fair to say that if I were ever in a French patisserie, I would just eat myself I death. Or explosion. Whichever comes first. And honestly? I'd be happy with that.
Fun fact, there’s a diet called the croissant diet. The premise is the same as keto. Consume a lot of fat and lose weight
10:34 Josh casually picking up Ollie's crumbs and straight to his mouth 🤣🤣
Paris: The City of Love.
Ollie: Is love already dead?
Josh: Yes!
Paris: :(:(:(
💔
Romance
Jesus Christ loves you. Please remember this. Thanks
As a French I’m so glad to see people eating and enjoying french food 😄 enjoy !
So what is the french thing?
@@antekliyue9874 explain yourself
@@cutiepie6602 10:03 they don't know what it was called so they just called it "the French thing"
@@antekliyue9874 Im not 100% sure but it may be a "Kouign-amann". It is a pastry that comes from the Britanny region of France. It is basically 50% sugar and 50% butter lol.
But as they say it has caramel taste I don't know if it is some burnt sugar on the Kouign-amman or just another pastry. If it is another pastry it is either something very uncommon or some creation or remix of that specifif bakery.
@@Alexandre-tm5bn c'est un kouign-amann oui, on peut le lire sur l'étiquette ;)
Everyone deserves a friendship like these two guys. ❤
Ollie is such a mood! I love how he casually came to Paris just to keep Josh company haha
I have been living in France for the last 5 years and the fact that even the cheap croissants from the uni cafeteria are a 100 times better than the best in my home country still astonishes me
haha yes the 30 cent croissant eaten in a rush just before class
Jesus Christ loves you. Please remember this. Thanks
the 1 euro croissant from the bakery owned by arabs at the corner of the street is just..the best french buttery bread i have tasted
The best croissants are in the French villages.
Imagine being from the US and having to deal with our “croissants”-horrid. Just back from France and I bought and ate a selection like this EVERYDAY just so I could get my year full.
Must say this first wife dating series in Paris is pretty good!
Please do not forget the love and sacrifice of Lord Jesus Christ. God loves you. Thanks
That UFP (Unidentified French Pastry) is probably a Kouign Aman. Never had one, the only reason I know of it is by watching Yakitate Japan, the manga/anime which has a huge fascination with French Baking among others of course and is a must read for bread lovers :D This pastry is mentioned as being even more crispy than a croissant, so thats why I made the link
yes it is
You have to be a butter lover to appreciate it. I love butter so I love it.
Speaking of raisins, I absolutely detest raisins. I remember meeting my French host mum for the first time and we were chatting and getting to know each other in her informal dining room. The conversation proceeded to food and she asked me if I wanted to nibble on something and I politely said yes. When she came back from the kitchen, there was a generous slice of raisin bread on a small plate and I was trying hard not to make any weird faces. Then she asked me if I was allergic to anything and which food I didn't like. I said I'm not a picky eater, but one ingredient I cannot eat are raisins, then glanced down on the raisin bread. We both paused, then looked at the raisin bread, and laughed lmaoo Let's just say she took the plate back to the kitchen and never bought raisin anything during my whole stay in her house. I love her!
I really hate raisins too. Can’t stand them. It’s not that they taste bad but it’s a texture thing for me
Detesting raisins is inhuman.
Ollie : hate raisin
Also Ollie : took a BIG BITE of pain aux raisin
🤣
Just like how he has allergies to potato chips and still eat them like it's nothing 😂😂😂
@@omamastar6237 omg yes! He did so many sacrifice for us guys! Thats why we need Ollie in our life 😆😆🥺🫶🏻
starbucks near my place has the same thing and it's very good. my fav.
He's bold, gotta respect it
I mean, I can totally understand him. I hate raisins, but I try them regularly just to find out I still hate them. It's a never-ending cycle 😂
Ollie has such a good personality he’s SO funny and just joyful all round
Please do not forget the love and sacrifice of Lord Jesus Christ. God loves you. Thanks
@@shawnkim8542 do you think we are in the end times?
@@Cheesyenchilady I know one thing. God is love. And there is only one that is good. God. Jesus Christ is everything. He is the Alpha and Omega. I want to exalt and glorify True Real Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen. Thanks
'Do you hear the people sing?' 'Sacrebleu!' Oh Ollie 😂😂😂😂 Throughout this entire video, he radiates the energy of somebody who took French at GCSE and has since forgotten 70% of it. I'm not sure if he did, but I'm getting the vibe.
that transition at 00:06 was so smooth. Had to replay it a couple times to fully appreciate it!
I just wanna say I absolutely love the two of them together, its just that kinda chemistry you can only achieve after MANY years of friendship with amazing experiences lived together
Jesus Christ loves you. Please remember this. Thanks
I agree with ollie on the raisins being where they don't belong thing. I mean I like straight up raisins or chocolate covered ones but when they're in pastries or candies I just get irrationally angry lol.
Agreed
Before your average Europeans had access to sugar and chocolate, using dries fruits and nuts was the norm to add sweetness to desserts.
Same! Like in butter tarts. "Would you like a butter tart?", "Sure that sounds lovely thank you so much!" sees there are raisins, *"GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN!!!"*
I like them fine alone or in raisin bran but once they're baked the texture changes and I don't like the sliminess. A baker friend calls them "tannic little turds."
@@kellylaliberte548 Same. Oatmeal-raisin cookies are the reason I have trust issues.
omg idk how much was planned but Ollie seemingly coming over into Josh and his wife's romantic holiday is hilarious to me 😆😆 Such an iconic duo they're literally blood brothers at this point. 🥰
Ollie is so salty throughout this and I am loving it. Grumpy, sleep deprived Ollie is a treat.
Not even a third of the way through and Ollie's been bleeped twice!!! I'm enjoying travel-fatigue Ollie.
HOW’D YOU DO THAT??
As a french person I absolutely burst out laughing every single time they pronounced the word "croissant"
"kwoasong" 😂
I'm not surprised... Ollie's pronunciation is borderline offensive 😂. But, it's still better than anyone, not English, trying to affect an English accent, especially the French (and possibly the Germans)! 😂 😂
so does my French husband every time I pronounce it the way we do in the US, lol
You should hear us Aussies. So sorry but it's appreciated
Pour moi, c'est le "merci beaucu" de Josh 🤣
Greatest bromance in history! I legit want to be bestfriends with Josh and Olly and be included in their epic adventures! Thanks for the funny, wholesome, light hearted entertainment!
I’ve been watching a lot of Jolly videos. Ollie is so funny. Josh makes a great straight man. I have laughed so much. Thank you
As a half French person I feel it is pertinent to address that what we understand as the croissant was not originally developed in France but actually in Austria (originally called the kipferl). It became very popular, changed name from crescent in German to crescent in French, dough was made lighter and then we have basically what you enjoyed in this video. So we can really thank the Viennese for at least some of the croissant.
well yes and no, casue the kipferl has like nothing to do with the croissant apart from the shape. It was a bread, but french pastry chefs decided to put puff pastry instead of bread dough
@@danemon8423 that's what I said, the dough was changed post arrival to France but the origins are tied to the Viennese with Marie Antoinette. Without that you wouldn't be getting the full concept of croissant (it's even in the name).
The word "Pastry" can be translated in french by "viennoiserie" ... meaning also : "from Vienna". We use that word (viennoiserie) a lot !! So I believe that's an homage to the Austrian bakers.
@@EyeGlassTrainofMind but maybe we will still be eating it but in a different shape
I've tried the Austrian variety(the original) and it's clear that the French have perfected the _croissant_ . It's just not comparable! But yes, the dough is different. The Austrian one is basically bread, but the puff pastry French version is just delicious!
Hang on. Did anyone else notice Muncho at 0:54? Looks like Josh brought his two best friends with him to France.
Ollie’s analogies from croissants to someone talking on the train too loud, “it’s like, we are all in here”, had me dying😂😂
I love how Ollie was complaining about the amount of calories Josh bought and how he always eats the bigger half of the croissant.
Hey there! As a french gal I can tell u, it seems that "the french thing" is actually "kouign amann" it is a very buttery pastry that is from the Bretagne region in the west coast. I'm surprised you didn't try the "Pain au chocolat". There is a funny dispute about it in France as some say it is called "Chocolatine" and some "Pain au chocolat". I is a real thing you can ask a french person and they often would not agree if they are from different regions :).
Omg I loveeee kouign amann it’s my favourite pastry!!! Would love to eat it in france
@@ssummerdew I didn't recognize it at first too, when you buy it in Bretagne it looks a bit more caramelized but I think it's because there's just more (and more) butter and sugar. Often it's made in a "lighter" version like here I think but I had to be good judging by their yummy reactions 😄
Here in the US we sometimes incorrectly refer to them as chocolate croissants. (I call them pain au chocolate!)
It's clearly "Pain au chocolatine" 🤭
@@residentartist I'm 100% team Pain au chocolat 😄
Literally a second in and Ollie has upped his coolness Quotient!
Edit: Equilibrium has been maintained because he dropped something later on lmao
🤣🤣🤣
Lmfaooo he was so close 😭
I was literally crying with laughter when Ollie said “sacré beurre” and also “ that what french people say” 😂 hahaha
je pense qu'il a plutôt dis "Sacrebleu", qui pour une raison qui m'échappe est une expression connue de bcp de gens de UK
@@nathalieast6179 car Tintin est mondialement connu
@@nathalieast6179 C'était une expression autrefois utilisé par les français. Et "bleu" servait de substitut à "Dieu" pour ne pas jurer sur son nom.
@@nathalieast6179 I think so too. To have said "sacre beurre" would've required more French than he knows.
I love this series, can't wait for more. I couldn't stop laughing, especially when Ollie pointed out Josh's "entire Burberry attire" Can't wait for the next one. BTW Ollie did an awesome job opening that bottle at the beginning, very clean slicing. 😍
Instant like for the way Ollie just opened up that bottle
😂😂 same
Please do not forget the love and sacrifice of Lord Jesus Christ. God loves you. Thanks
Recently, my family and I spent 2 weeks in South France on holiday. In a *tiny* local village we found a bakery that sold brioche pan au raisin. Seriously, I can't exaggerate enough how good these were - they put ordinary pan au raisins to shame. They are the one thing that if you can find, you should get - or at least try. We ate them religiously for about 8 days and brought 2 back to England just to relive the experience. They were by far one of the best French pastries I have *ever* eaten and Ollie, the custard to raisin ratio would be just to your liking 😂
Ollie makes me laugh so hard I cry! His reactions, comments, and the way his eyes always look upwards when he’s tasting something…makes me laugh. He’s very witty and makes some very smart comments.
I love how Ollie has a specific description for each of the croissants and how oddly specific they are.
i love how chaotic ollie is and how he just doesn't hold back who he is
4:10 HE’S FINALLY WARMING UP TO THE IDEA OF BEING AFFECTIONATE WITH OLI!! 🥹
I noticed that too! 😂
Ollie’s analogy about everything is funny but on point. 😂
I need the uncut version I want to know what Ollie said the bad croissants look like. You guys remind me of my best friend and me (minus the food channel) and it makes me very happy!
I literally DIED when they ate the croissant together 😂😂😂 they’re hilarious I can’t Iol
These two are the only people I've ever heard who use "Lady and the Tramp" as a verb.
This is the first time ive been jealous of Josh and Ollie eating something. Those pastries look soooo good. The chocolate cruffin i wanted frok the video the most since i love chocolate.
Watching them on the bench I so love the differences between these two in their style. Josh is rocking the "Talented Mr. Ripley" look while Ollie is absolutely paying homage to Nicolas Cage in Adaptation.
Magnifique! *chef's kiss*
Is no one gonna talk about the moment at 0:54 when Ollie says "I think I see a carrot" and it cuts to him walking past a carrot statue to Josh who just happens to be standing next to it - idk if this was planned but it's perfect comedy gold xD
I’m excited for the McDonald’s in Paris episode 😂 I’ve had McDonald’s in other countries too and it’s always different... some good and some, we need to adjust 😅 I personally try McDonald’s in other countries to see the unique menu they made to adapt in that country and if they did justice in it. It’s not for the quest of good food but out of curiousity... I don’t think others would like that curiousness but there’s people like us 😂 we love food.
i was at a paris mcconalds when i was a teenager and everything tasted so different and really bad, the taste of the fries was the worst, that i never tried french mcd again.
I watched somewhere that you can't see the menu of the Mcdonalds in France online if you're outside of France. Judging from next episode's preview, could this be the reason?
Jesus Christ loves you. Please remember this. Thanks
This reminds me of that time the SortedFood Boys went to Paris and whichever bakery they went to was closed. Happy to see a new shop in a video.
Josh and Ollie have the most contagious laughs….😂🤣 Love it! ❤️
둘이 너무 귀여운거 아닙니까ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Yes. Yes they are. Although you can get great ones elsewhere now. Baguettes, no comparison.
I love you guys so much. First wife checking in on second wife and Josh! ;)
Have to say this is the most entertaining channel to be delivered by the yt algorithm yet. I’m envious of all the fun you’re having and wish I could enjoy a Parisian croissant with you. Merry Christmas from Texas!
🎄🎅🏻 🤠
I just smile at your friendship. So beautiful to behold.
The pairing of Josh and ollie speaks why their chemistry works so well... one very good looking extremely fashionable person with a funnily laugh and another extremely funny but care not how they look like going only for comfort type of person.
I'm sure Josh learned a lot from his time in the fashion industry. 😊
As a Frenchwoman who moved to Canada ten years ago, it was delightfully difficult to watch! I miss French pastry so much :-( Thanks for the trip 🙂

Ollie vaguely resembles that guy from ratatouille which makes this so much better haha
I've been missing Ollie! So glad to see him again
Josh lovingly feeding Ollie the middle bit of the croissant is all I needed to see today
Wonderful! You couldn’t write a script funnier for Josh looking super cool in Burberry and Ollie like he’d slept in his clothes…totally understandable with the early start obviously!
As a frenchie in love with jolly for so many years, I am so happy to see you in Paris!
the last bit...ollie saying people are staring stop laughing ahahhaa cant wait for next week 🥰
It's so fascinating to watch croissants being made. They're very labor intensive. Most of us, unless we have a time machine, don't live near a quality bakery, and must make do with whatever croissant-like pastries come our way. I put mine in the toaster oven just long enough to crisp up the outside,
Is anybody gonna address the fact that Josh literally ate a crumb off of Ollie's pants while Ollie was biting into the kouign-amann 😂😂😂
Nothing beats a French croissant early in the morning freshly baked. I've gained weight moving back here lol. Now fresh baguettes, nothing beats that.
Try them from Austria.. Sooo good!
Jealous.. I've only had packaged croissants microwaved for 30 seconds :/
Still great with coffee
Italy has the best croissant and "cornettos" in the world
Yes they are, I mean my father and uncles started a tradition of doing a car Cross countries journey every other years (since the oldest, my dad, was 18) to Paris for a breakfast in Paris with freshly baked croissants…. Travels started in different city’s in Germany, Spain, Greece, Croatia and Sweden in the last 40years, and I doubt he stops…. And I intend to continue that tradition in the future
Ollie: I think I see a carrot 🥕
Josh: standing right next to what appears to be a huge cartoon carrot 🥕 😂😂😂

I went to France 20 years ago and I recall their croissants being excellent. I was a student and we didn’t go to any fancy bakeries but yknow really good. I went to South Korea in 2019 and Paris Baguette at Seoul Station had the best croissants I’ve ever had. I still think about it years later. I can’t wait for them to come to Canada.
Ollie is such a loyal, caring person. I wish my bestie would crash my vacations. 😂
I have my eye on that Chocolate Cruffin.

I just love Ollies Jokes and how you both fit together so well. Love the content as always!!
Love watching you on all channels.
As a retired educator, I’d like to share one historical point.
The croissant is credited as originating in Vienna when Viennese bakers created pastry in the shape of the crescent moon to spare his life and that of those with him from the invading Moors in 1683.
I doubt CZcams would let me post a link, but you can certainly find this information online. 😉
Josh looks absolutely fabulous in that jacket. I want one too!
Haven't been to France since I was a teenager, where I used to go camping every year with my family. 1 thing I do miss is their food, their cakes/pastries are next level.
It is. I think French pastries are the best in the world. Having moved back to the US, I miss the food dearly 😞
I love watching you guys try food! It was a great Jolly episode! Just fun!
I love watching your channel. It brings me so much joy. You both are hysterically funny.
I love your channel. Keep up the good work Guys. Love from David in South Africa 🇿🇦
I’ve eaten the “french thing” before in my city. It must be a hell-lot better in France, I’m jealous 🥺
Josh eating the crumbs off Ollie's lap in 10:36 is a peak friendship moment. Because I could neverrrrr.
J'adore Ollie ❣️ especially when he talked about raisins, I've never related to someone so much like with him at that moment.
The fact you can just pop over the France real quick….so jealous
