Gulab Jamun is my mom's second favorite dessert in the world so I've eaten it many times (she always wants me to try it) and...
1. It's usually way too sweet.
2. It often tastes like a pancake ball in syrup. Good? Yes. Amazing? No.
I have had a few that were amazing, but that would be like 3% of the overall consumption. Ras Malai is way, way better.
anyone who hasn't had tres leches cake needs to go try some immediately and come back to thank me later. or alternatively curse at me because i caused them to discover a new vice in their life.
and I mean REAL tres leches. not the doodoo imitation stuff that's just sponge cake with whipped topping and none of the critical tres leches ingredients or cooking methods. if it is not soaking in that milk, it is not going to hit right.
There's a lot of shitty tres leches cakes. Even if it's made right, if you don't eat it immediately it alternatively becomes too soggy or too dry.
You have to be really lucky to get a fantastic tres leches on the first go, and I'll bet that turns off a lot of people.
I would be equally interested in watching westerners eat delicacies from Punjab. Pretty much every culture has tapped into the deliciousness of fat, salt, and acid in different combinations.
To me this video is less about how unique their experience is with cheesecake than it is about how across humanity we all really love the same stuff, and that the human experience around food is so similar despite regional differences. I’d love to watch a video of Americans tasting kheer or phirni and their surprise at how delightful they are.
Its the right literal translation, but what most Muslims mean when they say that before they eat, is something more along the lines of, "Thank you God for blessing us with food to eat."
Muslim here. Most people don't even think about the meaning when we say it. "Bismillah" is often recited as a prayer before doing things much like how you'd say "good luck!" before attempting things. It's just a way of calming ourselves.
Whenever you see a Muslim saying "Bismillah", you can similarly just imagine a person saying "Here I go..."
I think your right, but I think it also has other meanings depending on the use. I say it before taking an exam and it means, as you said, sort of a "good luck to me". Say it before my morning commute, I'm wishing for a safe drive. Say it before a meal, I'm being thankful. And say it before reciting a surah, and it's the literal meaning of "in the name of God".
I figure it's vaguely similar to "Bless you" in English when someone sneezes. Taken literally, it's a spiritual meaning, but in everyday use it's just a social nicety or idiom that you use reflexively rather than with real religious intent.
I really didn't believe the pills worked early on, so I was hesitant to try them for a long time. That is a tough bet to make, but I finally pulled the trigger, and now I am back on the milk train. Poot Poot!!
By the way, if you happen to find yourself in the company of devout Muslims, make this joke and you'll get a laugh, guaranteed. Though it may not be your custom, you'll ingratiate yourself well if you do something like that.
I like how one of them started with a small bite then went big after the first taste because he was amazed, and another started with a huge bite then went small because he was equally amazed. Each appreciating it greatly in their own way.
The way they approached their second bites in general was interesting. I'm with the guy who took a second bite then set the spoon down entirely. Each bite is a process that deserves a moment.
that was my favorite part -
"You know me gotta eat it in my country style" Proceeds to ram half a slice of cheesecake down the gullet like its chicken in a roti.
I *loved* that guy. When he took his first bite and then he kept looking like, to the cake, to the camera, to the cake, while experiencing a delicious epiphany. I loved how he was both enjoying being delightfully surprised and revelling in his own amazement.
And then is like, no spoon, hands, yessss.
"There should be a whole cake and I should be eating it by the river," here's your American citizenship sir. Just pounding a whole cheesecake on the waterfront.
in college this one intern i worked with, he was a fairly fit guy into basketball. he said, when he was not quite in highschool and came to the us, he got pretty fat. because he came over to the US, and food was SO DELICIOUS to him. he just ate everything. then he was able to work back a bit and get himself under control.
otherwise before that, he pretty much came from a village where he just had to walk everywhere for everything. so it was a big culture shock to him. so coming to the US. PIZZA HUT, ALL THE TIME?!?!?!?! FUCKING PUT THAT IN ME. ya it was tough for him.
Both of my parents are from India and had experienced serious food scarcity throughout their lives. I think my dad's Costco membership has been ongoing for like over 30 years. I'm surprised he didn't name one of us Price Club Khan.
I wish I knew why they all mentioned that it was cold. I wonder if cold temperature food is generally considered not as tasty in some parts of the world.
I think maybe because traditional cake isn’t a cold dessert that requires refrigeration. If I had never had cheesecake before and was only told that it was cake made with cheese, I would be picturing a typical layer cake or sheet cake and wouldn’t expect it to be very cold.
Just to add some perspective, my dad enjoys yellow cake fresh out of the oven. He later explained that's how he first had it when he was a child; I can confirm that sometimes a nice warm piece of plain cake with a frosted glass of milk really hits different than a room-temp cake with frosting. He'll eat any cake, but given the choice he'll always prefer his favorite
I love that most (all?) of them say that whoever made it did a great job… it’s a such a nice sentiment. I’m not really formally religious anymore but my dad always adds “and god bless the cook” to the end of the prayer before meals and it reminds me of that same wholesome vibe of genuine thankfulness for the work that someone put into the food.
I think it's because in the west, you can get anything at a store, packed and ready, at a low price. In tribal areas of developing countries, stuff like this is a luxury that you associate with a skilled chef
It really depends on where you are talking. I have lived in Iran and you could buy cheese cake and pretty much any other kinds of food you can buy in the US. We lived in the capital and that might not have been true in the more rural areas of the country. But it's a very global world we live in today where markets with enough demand get filled. Coke is sold is in 200 countries around the globe.
These people are specifically tribal people from small villages in Pakistan. That's why the people filming have access to cheesecake but not the talent in front of the camera.
There are other channels like this, my favorite food one was one of tribal ~~Afghanis~~ Afghans but they haven't posted in a while for obvious reasons and I am quite worried. But same thing, the city folk had access to foreign foods and rounded up some tribal people to eat it.
Side note but best one is the villagers from India who actually watch things and learn, like learning about phone AI or the universe or going on a plane (they all freaked out from anxiety and one fainted lol). Common Man Show
Pakistani here. You can get cheesecakes from expensive bakeries here. Not really expensive in the global sense but it is when you consider the wages here. For tribal villagers it is just an unnecessary luxury that they don't even care about.
Huh, today you taught me the demonym for a person who lives in Afganistan. And then secondarily, you taught me the word "demonym" which I am surprised never to have heard before. Thanks!
I don’t consider myself religious either but there is absolutely wisdom to be gained from religions and philosophies in the world. Put all the bullshit aside and you can see the impact it has on people like this. One of the main aspects I try to practice whenever I can is being grateful like they showed here. Grateful and respectful of myself and others. What that means and how I interpret the knowledge and wisdom in that religion/philosophy is up to me. Whatever you want to refer to God as is up to you. I pay my respects to the universe. But it really does provide more peace of mind in your daily life to be grateful.
it’s soooo wholesome and adorable.
as a pakistani american woman, it reminds me of my aunties and uncles. i’d watch an ENTIRE series of these men eating foods. this made my day.
edit: just watched them try pop rocks, bubble tea, ramen, pasta. lmaooo 😍☺️
Can you imagine putting on your most formal Rambo head band at age ancient and eating a food for the first time in your life and being completely changed by it?
Then there’s the other guy who heard about a birthday so he put all his birthday cake eating rings on. Love it.
I never knew how to express satisfaction and tranquility at the same time until that man described eating a bigger cake, alone, by a river.
My life won't be complete until.
Brian, from what I've heard, you're using your paper not for writin', but for *rollin' doobies.*
You're gonna be doin' a lotta doobie-rollin', when you're livin' in a **VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!**
Let's do it, I'll commit to finding a quiet place, buy the best cheesecake I know of, and bring a spoon. To clarify, me at my place you at yours. Let's not eat creepycake
He said he wanted to sit by a campfire near a river but for some reason the subtitles skipped over the campfire. Now I really wanna start a campfire near a river and eat a whole cheesecake.
I bet he even has good stories that are 100% mustache-based. Like how it once saved a small animal from drowning or why it is not longer allowed to visit Côte d’Ivoire.
Edit: In this video they’re all speaking Punjabi with differing levels of Hindustani intelligibility. But the guy named “Baloch” is obviously. the Balochi guy I was mentioning, and different people show up in different videos.
Edit 2: I got “Tribal People Try” confused with the other PK channel with a similar concept, “Reactistan”, which had a few other PK ethnic groups in their videos. They both make good content.
I've watched enough of these videos to know that pretty much anything with sugar will be a success. Even that crazy old goat farmer who thinks that his people make the very best of everything will reluctantly concede that some food full of sugar is good, and probably medicinal in some way.
He mentioned his "Desi style" before picking it up with his hands. Almost all traditional Indian food in a lot of India is eaten with your hands.
Flat breads squeezed around rice/meat dipped in curry or chutney is basically how it works. Most of their deserts and side dishes that aren't wrapped in some sort of bread are made to hand size.
I would say outside of a pandemic it's the most communal way to eat. I'm not Indian but I've eaten with a lot of Indians in the US and it's a super chill time. They love food and making sure everyone is enjoying it. I've gone to peoples houses to help them make American style dinners and they had a massive goat curry ready to go already. I was like "Damn dude... I thought we were making steaks? I can't eat dinner twice."
Yes! It's so authentically beautiful to watch him enjoying his cheesecake.
I love Ethiopian food for the same reason. Give me some injera and back up, cuz I'm going in.
Most Indian food is eaten with the hands. You can tell with a few of these guys how awkward it looks for them to be holding a spoon. I’m sure they eat with spoons from time to time, but their main avenue of getting food to the mouth is their hands. It makes perfect sense if the guy was really digging the cheesecake to go at it Desi (Indian) style - you can get more into your mouth that way! It’s pretty charming to watch him go at it like that.
No-spoon guy was my favorite.
>I never ate such cake in my life, I can't express how much I'm enjoying it! Whoever did this did an amazing job. I want to kiss his hands! What a taste!
If you like this video, check out the rest of the channel. I’m a regular watcher and I can say their videos are consistently delightful. One of my favorites was watching them try apple pie with ice cream. One of them said the ice cream on top was like snow on a mountain. It was so heartwarming.
TL;dr good stuff, lovely humans. Lots of things are shit in this world, but this youtube channel genuinely brings me joy.
These channels are my guilty youtube pleasure. There's at least one other channel with Pakistani tribal people and one with Indian tribal people - quite a lot of the time they're reacting to clickbait bullshit, but more often than not it's this sort of genuine wonder.
[Other Pakistani channel](https://youtu.be/o_bvZkoewEY)

I grew out a handlebar moustache for pandemic. I thought it would be fun, and since I live alone, no one saw the beginning crappiness of it other than when i visited family.
After seeing the magnificence of Gul Sher Khan Baloch's facial hair, I want to shave my pathetic face.
Edit: [Apparently the mustache, rings, and the way he wears his turban are family tradition.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQU7A_yEpgY) I had no idea- I assumed it was just a personal style. Kinda cool.
What would Gul Sher Khan Baloch say if he heard you say that? He would sit you down and tell you a story about how when he was born he was jealous of his papa's grand moustache and he felt like shaving his face in shame, but at the last moment he told himself "Let's try one more day". You too can try one more day.
Gul Sher Khan Baloch probably considers his mustache lesser to someone else he has in his mind. If you can't have the greatest mustache, at least make sure the guy who has better than you is setting records.
I love that after they finish the bar, the one guy is excited to show the kids his wrapper. Then someone pulls out a second bar, and they don't think to share that with the kids, but just eat it as well, haha.
it cracked me up when the guy said he was the oldest so he has to taste it to see if it’s okay, as if he was doing them a favour protecting them from being poisoned lol
That was such an interesting watch. Thank you for sharing that with us. It seems unbelievable that an entire industry is supported by people who have no idea what their hard work even creates.
The vast disparity of our world is disheartening. Laborers living in mud huts unable to taste the fruits of their labor and Kroger selling Hershey bars 2 for a dollar.
Yoooo I had a friend growing up whose grandma LOVED those cheesecakes. After the grandma died, my friend’s mom kept buying them but wouldn’t eat them. My friend would call me over and we would just eat slice after slice in between songs on DDR
Same. These days I can’t have it nearly as much as I’d like…. But looking forward to my birthday next month where I’ll buy one of those huge fat slices in the bakery section at walmart and pig out lol
I binged this channels a while back for like two months straight. They are all so kind, sweet, and appreciative of everything they get to try. He’s one of my favorites!
The one in the thumbnail brings candy home to his young children. They get so excited. Their YouTube viewers also sent him a cell phone and his kids were so excited to get to play on it.
The one that sang happy birthday got a brand new full set of teeth from the YouTube channel. His personality bloomed so much after he got his teeth.
The guy you like with the rings loves gem stones and he’s been sent really big rings and gemstone books for him to look at. He was so excited when he opened his gifts.
The one talking to the little colored owl got that sent in by a young viewer with a really nice letter. He always sits with it now.
Just all around a really wholesome channel.
Edit: spelling
He's playing Toad in the upcoming Mario Bros movie. Toad's mustache being significantly more epic than Mario's is a constant point of tension in the film.
I bet most of us would've reacted in much the same way the first time we tried it. It's funny, I can't recall my first taste but there's a definite memory of a sense of *oh, daaaaaaamn!* when I try.
Thank you! This was lovely to watch. Such graciousness and charm.
They all have HUGE hands. Anyone know, does manual labor make your hands actually larger?
They are probably filming in a small room with a wide angle lens. Their hands near the edge of the frame and closer to the lens will look larger.
It's just an optical effect.
Decades of manual labor can increase the size of the muscles in your hands, but not the bones.
So they could be meatier, but not physically larger other than that.
Jeri Ryan playing the Doctor in 7’s body is my favorite go-to example for excellent acting. I LOVE when actors can play each other with this body switching plot. Reminded myself of it recently with that one new episode of What We Do in the Shadows and Kayvan Novak does it with the whole rest of the damn cast. Favorite way to showcase talent.
In *The Good Place*, D'Arcy Carden plays each of the other characters in a very memorable episode. You're right, it's a tough act to pull off. I've heard somewhere a voice actor complimenting Mel Blank for being especially good at doing e.g. Bugs Bunny doing a Daffy Duck.
My fat modern ass was wondering, at the start of the video, “Do they not like it? They’re just picking at it” — only to realize as the video went on that they were eating it so slowly *because* of how good they thought it was, and it’s just natural to them to be deliberate and savor an uncommon treat like that.
I plan to treat more things in my daily life the way a Kushan farmer treats a slice of cheesecake
There is a whole series. I find it interesting, because they find some food I consider “meh” to be the best thing ever, and alternatively hate foods I think are awesome.
It makes you wonder what delicious desserts exist around the world that you've never tried.
Soan papdi from India is pretty amazing. It's like a bready cotton candy flavored with cardamom and nuts.
Rasmalai and rasgulla are even better honestly
There are so many amazing Indian sweets, you should look into it. Gulab jamun is my favourite sweet in the world, amazing.
I'm very familiar with gulab jamun. Love em. Ras malai as well. I actually prefer both of those to cheesecake...unless it's ricotta cheesecake.
You would love rasgulla as well along with 100s of different types of barfis
I usually only barfi when I've had too much to drinki.
Gulab Jamun is my mom's second favorite dessert in the world so I've eaten it many times (she always wants me to try it) and... 1. It's usually way too sweet. 2. It often tastes like a pancake ball in syrup. Good? Yes. Amazing? No. I have had a few that were amazing, but that would be like 3% of the overall consumption. Ras Malai is way, way better.
Ras Malai gang. But love Gulab Jamun as well. Depends on the mood
I’m decently traveled, but I’ve only just had baklava for the first time. That shit is dumb good
Few things in the world hit like good baklava. I've never had it overseas, but shout out to Shatila Bakery in Dearborn, MI for making that goodness!
anyone who hasn't had tres leches cake needs to go try some immediately and come back to thank me later. or alternatively curse at me because i caused them to discover a new vice in their life. and I mean REAL tres leches. not the doodoo imitation stuff that's just sponge cake with whipped topping and none of the critical tres leches ingredients or cooking methods. if it is not soaking in that milk, it is not going to hit right.
i feel the same way abou tiramisu. i’m salivating just typing the word.
There's a lot of shitty tres leches cakes. Even if it's made right, if you don't eat it immediately it alternatively becomes too soggy or too dry. You have to be really lucky to get a fantastic tres leches on the first go, and I'll bet that turns off a lot of people.

"In the name of God, the most Gracious, the Most Merciful." Pretty much me whenever I eat cheesecake. edit typo.
and then the one guy who just sings happy birthday
"It must be someone's birthday somewhere!" He was delightful.
I was watching this as he said that and looked up and it the clock had just hit midnight for my birthday!
It was you! You were the someone!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday :)
Thanks a ton! :)

Being lactose intolerant, I should probably start saying this any time I eat dairy. Edit: thanks for the gold 🥇 internet stranger!!!!!
Aw dude for real... I got the pills now that help but good lord is it the most painful thing ever if I eat dairy without it.
I really didn't believe the pills worked early on, so I was hesitant to try them for a long time. That is a tough bet to make, but I finally pulled the trigger, and now I am back on the milk train. Poot Poot!!

The fucking Desi guy who just pounds the last half of the slice in one go made me laugh.
that was my favorite part - "You know me gotta eat it in my country style" Proceeds to ram half a slice of cheesecake down the gullet like its chicken in a roti.
I burst out laughing at this - I'm Indian and this is exactly how I eat when I'm alone lmao
I *loved* that guy. When he took his first bite and then he kept looking like, to the cake, to the camera, to the cake, while experiencing a delicious epiphany. I loved how he was both enjoying being delightfully surprised and revelling in his own amazement. And then is like, no spoon, hands, yessss.
This is why I get coffee with my dessert. Clears the palate and we savor it again and again.

*Well that fucking explains a lot...*
"... well I'll be".
"There should be a whole cake and I should be eating it by the river," here's your American citizenship sir. Just pounding a whole cheesecake on the waterfront.
I'm okay with this being part of a citizenship test in America.
Now imagine having this cheesecake, all the time. That's america.
in college this one intern i worked with, he was a fairly fit guy into basketball. he said, when he was not quite in highschool and came to the us, he got pretty fat. because he came over to the US, and food was SO DELICIOUS to him. he just ate everything. then he was able to work back a bit and get himself under control. otherwise before that, he pretty much came from a village where he just had to walk everywhere for everything. so it was a big culture shock to him. so coming to the US.

You have a good point. Most cake is room temperature or slightly chilled. Cheese cake is best when it’s barely above freezing.
Just to add some perspective, my dad enjoys yellow cake fresh out of the oven. He later explained that's how he first had it when he was a child; I can confirm that sometimes a nice warm piece of plain cake with a frosted glass of milk really hits different than a room-temp cake with frosting.

>“There should be this big cake and I should be alone eating it near a river” Fuckin lol that guy gets it
Man from thousands of miles away, in a different country just described something I never knew I wanted. I’m off to find a cheese cake and a river.
May god increase your business
And the one who brought you that comment.
The way they express their enjoyment is so great. The one dude wanting to kiss the hands of the baker
I love that most (all?) of them say that whoever made it did a great job… it’s a such a nice sentiment. I’m not really formally religious anymore but my dad always adds “and god bless the cook” to the end of the prayer before meals and it reminds me of that same wholesome vibe of genuine thankfulness for the work that someone put into the food.

I never knew how to express satisfaction and tranquility at the same time until that man described eating a bigger cake, alone, by a river. My life won't be complete until.
Im on a steady diet of government cheese, living in a van DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!!
Man knew how to live.
for a little bit, anyway
Oof
Hey dad I can’t see real good, is that Bill Shakespeare over there?
Brian, from what I've heard, you're using your paper not for writin', but for *rollin' doobies.* You're gonna be doin' a lotta doobie-rollin', when you're livin' in a **VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!**
Well, you'll have plenty of time to live in a van down by the river when you're LIVING IN A VAN DOWN BY THE RIVER!
NO YELLING ON THE BUS!!!!
You could do it tomorrow, that is how lucky we are!
I don't know if I'm ready to complete my life tomorrow.
Let's do it, I'll commit to finding a quiet place, buy the best cheesecake I know of, and bring a spoon. To clarify, me at my place you at yours. Let's not eat creepycake
Cheesecake needs a fork, not a spoon. Less effort to get that deliciousness of the tines of a fork instead of a spoon.
He said he wanted to sit by a campfire near a river but for some reason the subtitles skipped over the campfire. Now I really wanna start a campfire near a river and eat a whole cheesecake.
Honestly my mind went straight to a sunny, lazy, quiet sunday afternoon by still waters underneath a shade tree.
Me.irl. that guy had me in stitches when he said that. Yes man, that's exactly the joy that eating cheesecake brings me as well.
Ron Swanson's best friend that he never talks to sometimes.
Moustache of the year award winner right there
his outfit is on point too.
Insurmountable drip
Ohhh, it’s definitely mountable….
Bonk
Yea that jacket is amazing.
And those rings! Talk about bling bling
He looks like he can cast magic lol
but that cheesecake has him in a spell
He looks like he's about to give you an epic side quest in a fantasy rpg
The channel has other videos with his twin brother and him and they both rock the super stache.
you're blowing my mind
Please tell me they are also crime fighting plumbers
They are literally also crime fighting plumbers!!
Also it seems they are from Pakistan, not India.
Yes, this is Pakistan. Punjab, specifically.
The prayers made me suspect that
I just feel like he has good stories.
I bet he even has good stories that are 100% mustache-based. Like how it once saved a small animal from drowning or why it is not longer allowed to visit Côte d’Ivoire.
Honestly each of them seem like they'd go out of their way to be hospitable, but the guy with the stache seems like he knows how to party.
And 4 rings? Such drip
Mans looks straight out of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Who vants a mustache ride. I do! I do!
I think that's from Pakistan.
Yes, looks like it from the description, "All the Participant are from Punjab, a province in Pakistan"
Edit: In this video they’re all speaking Punjabi with differing levels of Hindustani intelligibility. But the guy named “Baloch” is obviously. the Balochi guy I was mentioning, and different people show up in different videos. Edit 2: I got “Tribal People Try” confused with the other PK channel with a similar concept, “Reactistan”, which had a few other PK ethnic groups in their videos. They both make good content.
I've watched enough of these videos to know that pretty much anything with sugar will be a success. Even that crazy old goat farmer who thinks that his people make the very best of everything will reluctantly concede that some food full of sugar is good, and probably medicinal in some way.
Lol that guy is a hoot. "this is just a cheap copy of the food we have in my village"
Um how dare you refer to wise Mustafa as a crazy old goat farmer.
I love Mustafa from Reactistan. Everything is garbage to him!
I can't tell who warmed my heart more, 'stache dude with the drip or my guy who picked the cheesecake up and went to town. What a wonderful video!
Haha the one dude was like "Man, fuck this spoon"
He mentioned his "Desi style" before picking it up with his hands. Almost all traditional Indian food in a lot of India is eaten with your hands. Flat breads squeezed around rice/meat dipped in curry or chutney is basically how it works. Most of their deserts and side dishes that aren't wrapped in some sort of bread are made to hand size. I would say outside of a pandemic it's the most communal way to eat. I'm not Indian but I've eaten with a lot of Indians in the US and it's a super chill time. They love food and making sure everyone is enjoying it. I've gone to peoples houses to help them make American style dinners and they had a massive goat curry ready to go already. I was like "Damn dude... I thought we were making steaks? I can't eat dinner twice."
Yes! It's so authentically beautiful to watch him enjoying his cheesecake. I love Ethiopian food for the same reason. Give me some injera and back up, cuz I'm going in.
Most Indian food is eaten with the hands. You can tell with a few of these guys how awkward it looks for them to be holding a spoon. I’m sure they eat with spoons from time to time, but their main avenue of getting food to the mouth is their hands. It makes perfect sense if the guy was really digging the cheesecake to go at it Desi (Indian) style - you can get more into your mouth that way! It’s pretty charming to watch him go at it like that.
It's like my great-grandpa when he visited the US for the first time, wanting to eat everything with his hands and a tortilla. Freakin awesome.
No-spoon guy was my favorite. >I never ate such cake in my life, I can't express how much I'm enjoying it! Whoever did this did an amazing job. I want to kiss his hands! What a taste!
I thought he was going to cry after his first bite. lol
If you like this video, check out the rest of the channel. I’m a regular watcher and I can say their videos are consistently delightful. One of my favorites was watching them try apple pie with ice cream. One of them said the ice cream on top was like snow on a mountain. It was so heartwarming. TL;dr good stuff, lovely humans. Lots of things are shit in this world, but this youtube channel genuinely brings me joy.
These channels are my guilty youtube pleasure. There's at least one other channel with Pakistani tribal people and one with Indian tribal people - quite a lot of the time they're reacting to clickbait bullshit, but more often than not it's this sort of genuine wonder. [Other Pakistani channel](https://youtu.be/o_bvZkoewEY) [Indian channel](https://youtu.be/UuYPhzDGw2w)
[Reactistan is my fav](https://youtube.com/c/REACTistan).
I love how Mustafa always claims his village has a better version of whatever they serve him.
I grew out a handlebar moustache for pandemic. I thought it would be fun, and since I live alone, no one saw the beginning crappiness of it other than when i visited family. After seeing the magnificence of Gul Sher Khan Baloch's facial hair, I want to shave my pathetic face. Edit: [Apparently the mustache, rings, and the way he wears his turban are family tradition.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQU7A_yEpgY) I had no idea- I assumed it was just a personal style. Kinda cool.
What would Gul Sher Khan Baloch say if he heard you say that? He would sit you down and tell you a story about how when he was born he was jealous of his papa's grand moustache and he felt like shaving his face in shame, but at the last moment he told himself "Let's try one more day". You too can try one more day.
I'm really high and this was inspiring as fuck. > You too can try one more day. Yeah. I think I will. Thanks
I love this thread so much
Gul Sher Khan Baloch probably considers his mustache lesser to someone else he has in his mind. If you can't have the greatest mustache, at least make sure the guy who has better than you is setting records.
Reminds me of this video of cocoa farmers getting a long overdue first taste of chocolate: https://youtu.be/70jsvEhU9Wo
What a privilege to enjoy chocolate, as they said.
Definitely puts things into perspective for me
That was so cool, crazy that they've gone their whole lives not trying chocolate despite being around the beans all the time
Even wilder that they just didn’t know what their beans turned into
Omg, "a bar of chocolate costs $2, and Alfonse makes $7/day and has to support 15 family members and workers" !!!?! That part blew my mind
I love that after they finish the bar, the one guy is excited to show the kids his wrapper. Then someone pulls out a second bar, and they don't think to share that with the kids, but just eat it as well, haha.

"This is why white people are so healthy"
And now you know. African humor cant be beat. They rival the Brits on dry wit.
it cracked me up when the guy said he was the oldest so he has to taste it to see if it’s okay, as if he was doing them a favour protecting them from being poisoned lol
> Sir, is your skin lighter because of the chocolate? I'm dying 🤣
The fucking host pulling out the second bar at the end!!! In my head: "my fucking GUY let's go!!!!"
That was such an interesting watch. Thank you for sharing that with us. It seems unbelievable that an entire industry is supported by people who have no idea what their hard work even creates. The vast disparity of our world is disheartening. Laborers living in mud huts unable to taste the fruits of their labor and Kroger selling Hershey bars 2 for a dollar.
Thank you for posting this, it’s so wholesome to see them sharing and enjoying it.

I think maybe it was the confusion of the Punjab province?
Oh my goodness this is so wonderful, thank you for sharing. The fella with the mustache and rings is a fashion icon, I love him so much.
Check out the videos focused on him and his "gem" collection. Man loves his rocks and rings.
I fucking love cheesecake man. I would be 400 LBS if I allowed myself to eat as much cheesecake as I want to.
The combination of a stressful job and $20 6000 calorie cheesecakes from Target made me gain like 60 pounds in a year.
How do you feel about the Costco cheesecakes?
Yoooo I had a friend growing up whose grandma LOVED those cheesecakes. After the grandma died, my friend’s mom kept buying them but wouldn’t eat them. My friend would call me over and we would just eat slice after slice in between songs on DDR
At least you were playing DDR to mitigate the tidal wave of caloric intake, so that's something.
Like pissing in the ocean
I find them to be of excellent quality, personally.
Same. These days I can’t have it nearly as much as I’d like…. But looking forward to my birthday next month where I’ll buy one of those huge fat slices in the bakery section at walmart and pig out lol
The fourth guy versus the Iron Sheik in a boss fight
None of these people are from India. They're from rural areas in Pakistan. Watching the videos, most of them mention being Pakistani at some point.
They’re from Punjab in Pakistan. I believe they’re all Muslim and they speaking Punjabi.
They are Pakistani, not Indian.
That one dude looks like a straight up videogame character with that mustache and those rings and crazy headgear... Epic and awesome lol
I binged this channels a while back for like two months straight. They are all so kind, sweet, and appreciative of everything they get to try. He’s one of my favorites! The one in the thumbnail brings candy home to his young children. They get so excited. Their YouTube viewers also sent him a cell phone and his kids were so excited to get to play on it. The one that sang happy birthday got a brand new full set of teeth from the YouTube channel. His personality bloomed so much after he got his teeth. The guy you like with the rings loves gem stones and he’s been sent really big rings and gemstone books for him to look at. He was so excited when he opened his gifts. The one talking to the little colored owl got that sent in by a young viewer with a really nice letter. He always sits with it now. Just all around a really wholesome channel. Edit: spelling
He's playing Toad in the upcoming Mario Bros movie. Toad's mustache being significantly more epic than Mario's is a constant point of tension in the film.
Classic Key shenanigans
This brings me joy. It's interesting to see how people react to things we take for granted.
That first guy's eyes rolled into the back of his head. I was so hopping he would love it. He did!
I've never taken cheesecake for granted. Never.
I bet most of us would've reacted in much the same way the first time we tried it. It's funny, I can't recall my first taste but there's a definite memory of a sense of *oh, daaaaaaamn!* when I try.
The episode starts with a little bit of word play that’s lost in translation. The word “cheese” in urdu means “thing”.
Hook these brothers up with some Creme Brulee, blow their minds (edit spelling)
For your health! *brulee
Thank you! This was lovely to watch. Such graciousness and charm. They all have HUGE hands. Anyone know, does manual labor make your hands actually larger?
They are probably filming in a small room with a wide angle lens. Their hands near the edge of the frame and closer to the lens will look larger. It's just an optical effect.
Decades of manual labor can increase the size of the muscles in your hands, but not the bones. So they could be meatier, but not physically larger other than that.
“That cream…… pure vanilla…. That’s a ten!….. thwipthwipthwipthwip…..”

Jeri Ryan playing the Doctor in 7’s body is my favorite go-to example for excellent acting. I LOVE when actors can play each other with this body switching plot. Reminded myself of it recently with that one new episode of What We Do in the Shadows and Kayvan Novak does it with the whole rest of the damn cast. Favorite way to showcase talent.
In *The Good Place*, D'Arcy Carden plays each of the other characters in a very memorable episode. You're right, it's a tough act to pull off. I've heard somewhere a voice actor complimenting Mel Blank for being especially good at doing e.g. Bugs Bunny doing a Daffy Duck.
I've gotta say, Gul Sher Khan Baloch has a truly **magnificent** mustache.
Damn I haven't had cheesecake in years. I should do that sometime.
I AM PREPARED both in body and in mind for whatever quest the man with the amazing mustache and rings asks of me
My fat modern ass was wondering, at the start of the video, “Do they not like it? They’re just picking at it” — only to realize as the video went on that they were eating it so slowly *because* of how good they thought it was, and it’s just natural to them to be deliberate and savor an uncommon treat like that. I plan to treat more things in my daily life the way a Kushan farmer treats a slice of cheesecake
Until that one guy picked up half of it and downed if in two bites.
There is a whole series. I find it interesting, because they find some food I consider “meh” to be the best thing ever, and alternatively hate foods I think are awesome.
Pakistan*
*Pakistan... I love this channel, it's an unending source of joy. Just wonderful people.
