"I had been somewhat influenced by the juice of the red grape."
This man is a legend.
Imma just call wine "the juice of the great grape" because of this guy.
These days he has had way to many grapes
He’s a pooooor, struggling artist.
hes my hero
🤣🤣🤣
I hope after his false arrest the police compensated him with a succulent chinese meal
@@PikaCheeks it would more likely be that the cops would get a donut card and after screwing his day up, they would make him pay for 20 years of police donuts.
I hope the cops all got their houses raided in the middle of the night and arrested in their undies.
I love him.
He wasn't completely innocent. He stole someone else's credit card and identity many times like he had that time. He also tried to leave without paying that time like he had before.
@@Odette321 No. That was Paul Dosza. And the above guy was eating when arrested, not leaving.
Him having a whole stack of paintings he did of his own arrest took me out 😂
Lmao I'm sayin, bro did a whole collection
Also him constantly repeating himself... That is a man, who has nothing else in life. A bit sad to see someone so well spoken so vain.
“I’m too busy trying to do some paintings”.
The paintings: all of the arrest scene 😂😂
@@obiwanfisher537 alcoholism
@@Kinjo7 Na, not alcoholism.
This guy literally speaks in iconic quotes. One of my personal heroes.
poopeye
Theater kids wish they were half as cool as this guy
@@tdog54no, not really.
“Get your hand off my penis!”
You mean like this one ☝️ 😂😂😂
Thats what you get when you read and write
I love how he just has paintings of the incident behind him 🤣
lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Literally DIDNT NOTICE till I saw this LOL
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Love how he keeps emphasising how succulent the meal was.
But he made the egg fried rice with olive oil. HAIYAAAAA.
@@SetiKt And no MSG.
Uncle Roger mad.
He's the posh version of the meme "Really? Right in front of my salad?"
Under Federal law, succulence is the only defense for such crimes.
I sincerely hope his review made it to TripAdvisor 😂
That police apology was the most insincere half arsed effort. I've ever heard.
Yeah' they should learn to lie' better. 😊
Well the English certainly are as arrogant as they come.
Watch cops in America say sorry.
@@Lespion306 Cops anywhere have an innate ability to never apologize or to admit fault.
@@kingjoe3rdsadly, their job is to desperately frighten the civilians to keep us in control. It doesn’t work at all
Legend. I often use 'ah yes, I see you know your judo well' when trying to dress my young children. The young fella is quite the master
Hahahahhahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Hahaha!!!! 😂
Why does he feel like he could be Brian Blessed’s cousin?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This guy chose the wrong profession. He should've used his voice for something.
He has the projection of a social revolutionary
Be great in voice over films
omg you're so right lolll
He did
The dudes a great actor - I just hope some big Aussie telly studios pick him up
Oh, so he just talks like that. That makes it even better! He wasn't trying to create a scene, he was legitimately shocked!
Nah he’s trolling channel 7 too, he doesn’t actually talk like that, look for his SportsBet video, hahaha
@@KXINGApoc1122 wtf are you talking about? He sounds the same in all his interviews
He did bung it on a bit. LOL
I used to serve this guy in a restaurant I worked in. Can confirm this is how he genuinely talks. He has moments during very serious conversation when he tones down a little but otherwise he is highly dramatic.
@@micknixon8920 I adore him. You're so lucky to have met this absolute legend.
“I thought international criminals don’t use credit cards!” 😂 he’s actually so right 😂😂
Love how passionate he STILL IS about the succulent meal
Wouldn't you, if it was that succulent
I mean he was enjoying it, and they arrested him middle of the succulent meal, that needs some serious compensation
he’s still got the spirit and voice into saying “democracy manifest”
How he role the R in democracy was beautiful
And “Chinese MEalllllll….”
@@Circuitssmith lmao
I hope he milks this for every penny its worth! 😃
DEMOCRRRACY!
My goodness. He was ACTUALLY wrongly charged!? This changes EVERYTHING
And yet they regret that he got bail
This really is democracy manifest!
Well, he was a criminal, various kinds of cons and stuff, just not the guy they were looking for.
@@Nukle0n you mean he was criminally outstanding, right?
@@realtalk4994 Covid showed the world and wester people under what democracy they live.
The fact that he was innocent of all suspicions and charges makes this video even more iconic and I wish him nothing but the best! I hope you still out there doing his thing, making his art, and being supported!
You really believe he was innocent??
@ConfettiSpaceCastle yeah?
@@CuttySobz but... he was.
Yes, as he was proven to be innocent. Why do you not?
@@CuttySobz
The international crimes part? Yeah.
But he was certainly guilty of eating a succulent Chinese meal, as admitted by himself.
This man is such a legend. He gets people over for an interview, has not changed in the past 30-ish years since his arrest, is a surprisingly gifted painter, can cook a succulent Chinese meal of his own, and even feeds the people he's hosting for an interview.
hahahaha
if i was the manager of the tv i would write 5 thound dolar for this spectecular interview and meal he offered.
Hmmm, pretty sure he was re heating that meal buy the way the rice looked hahaha, but that’s even funnier 😂
Ahhh yes!
@@laganas2008
I see that you know your judo well!
I love this man's attitude towards this whole incident. He knows he's a meme and he just embraces it
An original Chad.. an old school Chad
The oil paintings!!! 🤩😂😎
Probably has to do with him being an artist, lmao
Amen
Well at the end of day it's the police that made fools of themselves, not him
If the members of Monty Python combined into one living being, they would undoubtedly be this man. Not only the absurdity of the arrest, but the fact that he's much too busy painting..... Painting himself being arrested. It's comedy gold.
Monty Python... precisely!
Help help I'm being reppressed! See the violence inherent in the system! see the violence inherent in the system!
Bloody peasant…..
@@richriccardo7554 "Ooh Dennis, there's some lovely filth down 'ere!"
Painting himself arresting himself, no less.
This man is a living legend. The big message I’ve gotten from all this is that his Chinese meal was in actual fact SUCCULENT
Perhaps, daresay... Umptuous
Here is a painting of me arresting myself. Jesus christ this man is a genius.
Someone please hire him to narrate a documentary. Anything, nature, crime, tech, I'd watch anything!

I like that he finds "succulent Chinese meal" as a absurd and funny as everyone else.

"Aaaah yes... you know your judo well" to recognise true skill and offer praise in the midst of personal struggle is selfless and unselfish. Honor this national treasure
He was mocking the guy, dumb@ss
He was mocking him you muppet
THIS WASNT A SKETCH!!????
He's a real trooper man 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
"Credit card fraud? No, I always pay cash!" 🤣 This dude is awesome!
AHAHAHAHAH
Idk this guy has so much chaotic energy I actually believe he's a criminal mastermind the whole time
“Of course, I had to be influenced by the juice of the red grape”
All Hail the Juice of the red grape
This guy is a goddamn national treasure
Great grape not red grape
@@redsky5440 no
We've all been there at some point in our life. Well, atleast I have.
“Apparently that was my crime; eating a succulent meal” legend.
Chinese...
We are sincerely sorry that a completely innocent man obtained bail.
Clearly, if it was up to that man, he would’ve been sentenced to years in prison without even a trial.
He shouldn’t be in charge of anything at all ever!
Yeah what was that about? Some brainless jobsworth wanting an innocent man in custody?
Yeah. I caught that, too. Complete BS
I think he meant that because of who they thought he was, he shouldn't have received bail without more substantial proof. It makes zero sense why he needed bail at all if they already determined his innocence at the jail before any court proceedings. Or I completely misunderstood this dude. 🤷♀️
Common Australia L
He shouldn't be in charge of anything even succulent chinese meals
This man has brought so much joy to my life.
Right??
That's what she said
But yes

I worked in & later ran several inner-city Sydney pubs back in the day and would come across these types of blokes frequently; eloquently spoken, theatrical fruity voices and mannerisms however still down to earth and great raconteurs . They were often sons of working class families who benefited from the post-war boom in affordable education (in particular given to WW2 veteran's and their families) and obtained degrees in the Arts whilst still inhabiting their working class inner-city neighbourhoods (these same neighbourhoods of terraces and semi's now being strictly millionaires row these days). Funny, entertaining blokes who are now of a generation sadly quickly fading away.
😂😂😂 theatrical.fruitu
Love this beautiful piece of Sydney history. Thank you, sir.
So he's not a relocated english gentleman I guess? I'm so confused on his accent. I've been to Sydney and never once heard anyone talk like this.
You are telling stories that simply do not add up.
Total bullshit artists in other words
This man could do the voice over for a wild life documentary and I would actually pay to watch it 😂
Just imagine him narrating pandas eating “…and we have the panda. Enjoying a succulent Chinese meal”
@@zombieleg971 whoa whoa whoa good sir saying stuff like that could get you canceled 😂
"Have a look at the teeth on this specimen. See that deer over there, he doesn't stand a chance. This. Is the circle of life, manifest."
Get your hand off that Pandas Penis!!
@@fridge3489this is genius 😂
Broooo he meme'd himself in those paintings so beautifully. What a joyfilled man. Love to see it.
What a power move, really. Being able to paint a meme of yourself resisting arrest against 6 police officers, while you casually and calmly ask about your succulent meal.
@@danielbueno8474 hahha!
The CZcams algorithm manifested itself gloriously with this one
Hahahahaha
it sure did
Lmao
A succulent youtube recommendation! Good taste manifest
Gentlemen, this is algorRRRRithm manifest!
The man is a true rogue. May we all show such courage in the grip of the authorities.
Yeah, the kinda grip the same authorities had on his PENISSSSS
I really want to know what his “succulent Chinese meal” at the restaurant consisted of. He made it sound so heavenly I ended up ordering Chinese take out after viewing the video for the first time.
was it succulent??
Exactly. That succulent Chinese meal must've been fire. I want uncle Roger (Nigel Ng) to make a video of them cooking it together and making jokes
We need more of this guy, that voice needs to be heard. Now he is a prime example of a proper gentleman
Absolutely. Like I want to give him money just for existing. He's like the most interesting chap I have ever seen and I hope he never changes.
If my future husband isn't like this I don't want him I say 🧐
Audiobooks is his calling ....
@@anima6035 You deserve a husband of his caliber and no lesser. Hear hear
I want his autograph 😊
"We are sincerely sorry that HE OBTAINED bail". Notice the wording. It's like they're saying they're SORRY HE WAS ALLOWED TO GO after NOT being the international criminal. NOT "We're sincerely sorry for our mistake". But "we're sincerely sorry he WAS LET GO FREE".... they screw up majorly and STILL WON'T ADMIT IT...
cops = fash
How do you know he wasn't a criminal? Coz he said so?
Actually I think the news took him out of context. You can see his mouth moving right before the audio cuts in. I suspect he was quoting somebody telling him that back at the time.
@「 Deadpoppin 」 Where can I find the uncut version?
@@BigRamifications because they investigated and found out he wasn't
Him asking how a man who basically does a dine and dash (leaving without paying for his meal) would make that man an international criminal is almost as funny as the original video. "I still...I still haven't found that out. I'm not even interested anymore. I'm too busy trying to do some paintings."
I only wish I could have this man's mindset. His art is both amazing and hilarious.
“Ooh, that’s a nice headlock, sir.” is underrated 😂
This man needs to be taught in the history classes as an absolute legend of Australia.
King of Australia
In my house, here in Omaha, Nebraska, the man is a legend of planet Earth.
Him and chopper Reid.. Australian legends
Mr. Jack
Doing the interview with a beer in hand & cooking for the production crew…I hope everyday is the best day of his life. Absolute legend.
The production crew brought the food to film that gag
Love how it's clearly takeaway chinese meal still formed in the shape of the container I was in 😂
@@alexbennett5724 Now that's hilarious 😂
This man is such a delightful human, fully embracing his own meme. A legendary personage to rival the likes of Rick Astley himself.
We're no strangers to succulence
You know your judo well and so do I
A succulent Chinese meal is what I’m thinking of
You won't receive my limp penis from any other guuyyyyy
"Ta-ta and farewell"
Succulent, epic and profound 👌
😀
the sequel we didn’t know we wanted 😂
YES!!!😂🤣😂🤣
I bet that InterPol guy still gets it for this bungle-up. "What's for lunch today Inspector Handsoncox, a succulent Chinese meal?"
Inspector handsoncox hahahahahaha
He bloody better ! I’d never let him forget what an amateur !
😭
I believe his is now Superintendent Hanson-Cox. Show some respect 🤣
@@jayczzzya hands on cox 💀
Award this man a posthumous Nobel Peace Prize for comedy. He has brightened many a day for me...and whether I'm in a bad mood, or just want a break from reality...the arrest clip never fails to please me. His paintings aren't bad either.❤
He died??
@@questionnumber1619 nah hes still alive
@@QueenJneeuQ that's good to hear.
@@QueenJneeuQphew!
OP needs to learn what posthumous means.
We all love this guy. He's a gem.
What a good dude. Also, he is 100% right that a chronic dine-and-dasher isn't some high-stakes international criminal lol
You've never watched dbz super
@@howtogaintime739 heat
I love how speaks so elegantly even during his arrest. An absolute Aussie Icon
I dont know if its because of the juice of the red grapes or despite it.
I love how he kept emphasizing how succulent the meal was
The world needs more of this man
the thing is he had multiple one liners, all delivered perfectly. such an absolute gem of a video
The thing is , you're a losser
Best parts this wasn’t scripted 😂 all him lol
He's a talented artist. It's his life and profession to coax emotions out of those that dare view his art.
This is the one who got me on the penis before.
“I believe it was called ‘Get Your Hand Off My Pinot Noir’” has just absolutely slayed me.
Caught me off guard that did. Crying
Ah man I'm in absolute hysterics. I've had to replay that bit several times. Not laughed so hard in ages 😂
😂😂😂
I think of this man every time my family and I go out to enjoy a succulent Chinese meal.
What an absolutely charismatic gentleman. An unforgettable soul.
Bloody legend, his voice is still in perfect crisp condition
Where is he from?
Perfect crrrrrrrisp condiTIONNNN!
This is the sort of guy that would sip tea during an artillery barrage
Someone : "You're under an artillery barrage !"
Democracy Manifest : "I'm under what !?"
@@octavianrachiteanu3680 He IS democracy
He's the sort of guy who would desert the military and use someone else's stolen identity. He's a criminal regardless who stole from other people.
Hilarious 😆😆😆
I have no idea what this means but I somehow know you are exactly right
"We are sincerely sorry he obtained bail." Really? He wasn't the one you were after, yet you are "sorry he obtained bail"?? Apparently Australia has a different understanding of the legal system that the rest of us do. "Democracy manifest" indeed.
Sacred island used as a prison, then and still
I thought he actually had some criminal history because the speech sounded so good. As if he planned it in case of his capture. But no, he really was just an innocent man expressing his displeasure with the system. Eloquently, with several men grappling him. Legend.
I love how they interviewed him to explain the meme he's in, and the whole meme is that he just continues to be a meme
Riiiight 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jack if you're reading this, monetize it, sell merchandise, Set up a social media presence. Get paid your dues. You're a bloody legend mate!
He's probably better off being left alone
He already has. Sells stubbie holders,tshirts etc.
Edit: looks like the site no longer exists. MrDemecracyManifests it was called
@@rodhuy01 Threadheads sells his merchandise
I need a t shirt that says...
YES! everything must be transactional!
ABSOLUTE LEGENDARY HERO!!! Truly an international treasure
What an absolute legend, hero, gentleman and scholar
HAHAH I love that they have a wine called “Get your hands off my Pinot Noir”
Seriously? The restaurant? That's quality
"Succulent Chinese Merlot"
Bottles of this juice of the red grape are now fetching $934 a bottle
"Get your hand off my pinot noir" absolutely lost it 💀💀💀💀💀
3:44 whoever thought up that transition deserves a raise. Also interesting hearing the Australian accent change to be even more unique from its British origins in 30 years.
Australians literally sound the same today
All those voices are aussie
The accent hasn't changed in 30 years... That's not how that works
Yeah they but what language are they speaking, Australian? No English, English language originally from England.
That man is a gem. Truly could have hosted his own comedy show.
"What the _devil_ is going on _here?"_ I love the way he said that.
Your name, profile pic, and comment all go beautifully together, I love it.😂
@@Yabustedjaloppy thank you, kindly.

"You're under arrest"
"I'M WHAT!?!"
You’re a wizard
*"I'm under WHAT!?" .... You had one job...
@@briggsy9768 lmao ikr xD how could he have messed that up so badly
@@briggsy9768 hehe
I'm watching this and popping some dim sum into my gob, and just appreciating how this man is making the Australian accent sound so tasteful and not like a farmer with a toothache
Dim sim, not dim sum. Dim sims are a uniquely Australian-Chinese food, they're a little blob of pork mince in a wonton wrapper, deep fried and typically served with chips. And dim sum, a large range of small dishes served from a cart or similar, is actually called yum cha in Australia.
Every word is gold, especially the "ta ta" as he's being bundled in the car.
"Get up you're under arrest! You're an international criminal!"
"I'm just a struggling artist"
Literally the plot of WW2
WW3 starts with this man.

what a legend. he needs to be on radio podcast interview and voice over actor
Just so eloquent under duress
Love how he is just heating up the take out Chinese dinner at the end!!
🤣🤣🤣
You cook fried rice by letting the rice go cold in the refrigerator, I think he might have pre made it or at least re heated it the correct way
I love the man, but that fried rice is clearly in a plastic container. And he also added olive oil to fried rice. That's probably what makes it succulent.
@@thatwhitegold5444 Yeah, although generally if you have a proper rice cooker, and use the proper chinese (or japanese, etc, depending on the style) technique rather than the usual way we're taught in the west, you can skip right past that step.
@@thatwhitegold5444 no
I like to invite him to my dinner table for a succulent Korean meal. He is a legend.
CHINESE MEAL.
@VVoOꟻF I know, but this man wants a succulent CHINESE MEAL.
@@croonyerzoonyer No difference.
Nothing against Korean food, but "succulent Chinese meal" fits more descriptively and audibly.
This is all democracy manifest
His delivery, whatever he says is perfect. I will be using this voice now
He's the the kind of raconteur I greatly appreciate!
What a legend. Falsely arrested and still had his mind on his half eaten plate of food that he was forced to leave behind.
He might have had a little credit card fraud time to time but I wouldn’t be the one to charge him, not in this democrrrrrrracy!
💯
That’s cause it was that SUCCULENT
Just a normal day for the Queensland Police Force.
Act first, think later.....then bash the crap out of them anyway.
I am assuming you got caught stealing m&m's from a Coles and your now hate the police. frick 12
@Lewkyan can I have some sources please?
@Lewkyan rip
Or referring to the fact that they had to drop force and replace it with service.
@Winahh Taylahh you are a lunatic. I am a 65 y.o.grandma. I reserve the right to criticize corruption by police when I wish.
It gives me great joy that unique people like this man exist in our world.
I didn't realize how much I wanted to hear this man's voice😂
Holy crap, I heard he died years ago. Glad to see the internet was wrong and so was his arrest. An absolute and total legend.
I have quoted this man since I was a teenager🤣 how have I only seen this catch-up interview? What a legend he is!
"Get your hand off my penis!!"?
This will always live rent free in my head for the rest of my life.
Not the wine being called "Get Your Hands Off My Penonoir" 😂
This man will be remembered centuries after any of his contemporaries, for being wrongfully denied his SUCCULENT Chinese meal.
What a chad.
I want to fly to Australia to visit the source of this succulence.
Are you preparing to receive his limp penis?
What's a Chad ???
Yup well, false arrest. I hope he's compensated something fair. Would be nice
Maybe with a succulent Chinese meal?

I would love to just be his friend seems like a really genuine person
7 News has peaked with this article. Its only downhill from here
bruh xD
Plot Tist:
He was the International Criminal all along
Yeah but no one ever reported his crimes due to the fact that he was so debonair and charming.
And the crime was Stealing A Succulent Chinese Meal!
Every word he says is pure art. What a connoisseur😂
He has the best voice ever
I'm so glad to hear that he was innocent. I had seen the infamous video years ago and was always under the impression that he was guilty of being a serial dine-and-dasher. Knowing that he was innocent was heartening.
Yes that’s what I was told too! I think I’m college!!
yeah, so was I
dine & dasher lol
RayWilliamJohnson lied to us all
This story is even more fascinating than I could’ve imagined. This guy is top notch! He was falsely accused and arrested!! And still had his wits about him to take advantage of the cameras and use them to his benefit. Absolutely hilarious, one of my favorite videos of all time ❤️
Legends shine when it matters the most
he wasn't falsely charged...he was/is a small time con artist and dine and dasher...at that time he was granted bail which is common for minor charges
@@VisiblyJacked but that's not right. It was a case of mistaken identity
@@Man0mania lol right the guy is an accountant from Toorak and never dined and dashed in his life 🤭
@@Man0mania Nope. Earlier, he was known as Jack Karlson. He was a career criminal and a serial prison escapee. At the time, the alias he used was Cecil George Edwards..
He was allowed bail, and he skipped bail and disappeared until 2020, so he couldn't get prosecuted for his credit-card fraud.
This man is one of the great treasures of the Internet.
Simply wonderful
