The surprising success story of The Chatter Guys continues!
I
myself am a little surprised at how the British gay couple's show on YouTube,
The Chatter Guys, has enchanted me with its simple authenticity. In honor of
Pride week, you should watch the duo's adventures on YouTube, from Benidorm to,
say, Leeds. Lovely and inspiring - more like this! This has been needed for a long time. Why hasn't this been offered before? WHY? WHY?
The
Chatter Guys youtube movies are full of interesting everyday drama and
excitement. For example, how are they doing in the new hotel, and is the burger
tasty and does one pint of beer really cost nearly £7 at The Admiral Duncan in
London? And those mammoth transsexuals! They also tour less known places and meet strangers. And how naturally and invitingly.
Well told, the stories are light and funny, filled with wonder and drunken babbling and dancing Brits, and they are not decorated with self-righteousness or vanity, but with the modest, straightforward honesty of everyday life, the "common sense" that sustains us ordinary people (even gays?). And the boys are great, normal and talk normal. Great and wonderful!
The
homemade story is simple and funny. Two nice gay men who are comfortable with
themselves and each other travel around England, and tell the viewers about the
sights, hotels and entertainment on the way, and of course the past and present
glory of British gay bars as an extra. And everyone always has a good time, both they and the guests are smiling.
These
trips are made "cinematic" by the clever use of the camera and the
cuts, so that the viewer feels like they are with the duo themselves in the
middle of their exciting adventures, as one participating companion. This is
the best entertainment ever! New episodes are always eagerly awaited every
night. There is also something new every time. Now the last hotel tour in small hotels. The trip to Scarabourg's Fish and Ships bar was great fun. Why? Because there was nothing extra. It just was.
You rarely see England or its nightlife or the gay world from this point of view. That's what makes these trips special. Youtube is full of travel videos that are worse than each other, and they should learn from these guys, whose chatter and familiarity is natural, and not unpleasant and pushy like many others seem to be. We need more trips, stories, gay pubs, drunk gays and fun! It's wonderful. We need something like this. Are better than gay movies. The Chatter Guys is also on Facebook!
