If this all went down in Waitrose (I haven’t watched), why didn’t he speak to management there and they would have it all on their cameras to get the police involved? That’s exactly what I would do if it happened to me.

Bet he’s having a right giggle with his foodie mates over what he’s cooked up. To use his elderly mum with dementia in all of this is tragic and disgusting.

Oh no having to answer a question, how awful.
Didn’t he tell that man in the chippy not to reply to comments! Seems he needs to take his own advice. The more well known you become well .. the more attention you will get. it’s like when people are desperate to be famous and then get fame, and complain about being papped. You have to take the rough with the smooth. all this(highlighting it) Im going to put you online and am pinning this online, so I can send my flying monkeys after you vibe.. (bit Jackish)..

Remember the look on the Chef’s face in Harvester.. when Gary requested a special word to “commend” him on a job well done 👏 Then plastered the guys face on it, with an “I approached the chef” angle.

Will he have bouncers after that terrible incident that gained him so many views and cash?

More and more, I find myself genuinely believing that 99% of those who start YouTube channels are narcissists. Aside from the very, very few who genuinely possess a skill/talent that is 'teachable' or keep their identity hidden... I think it takes a certain personality to think 'I am worth watching'.

For accounts like Gary's - where the food or travel reviewing isn't actually any kind of chef-level skill - I think it is genuine narcissism that drives them to think 'I am not an expert in this area but people will want to watch me anyway'.
I concur 100%. So many YouTube vloggers are exactly as you describe. The interesting thing about narcs is they have an outside the home persona that doesn’t match the in the home/family one. With technology they’ve now been able to up level their outside persona to the world and not just their local community; and are being financially rewarded for said faux personas.

If you’ve not checked in with him the big headedness has accelerated. There are several behaviours that range from amateurish annoyances all the way to full blown delusion on his part. Gary seems to have decided that he is to the manor born, and when I first saw him he was boring but relatable in a sense, now every time he approaches something that is anyway commercial it’s so condescending, considering he can’t even summon anything original to say ever (such as praising a pie shop for making their own pies or the near omnipresent comments on how well he’s crossing the road.)

Alternatively if the subject of the video has a high price point or sounds vaguely foodie it’s instantly much better because of it. Recent hits are him and Harrison someone or other, who you’d believe was the second coming of christ as Gary jus his pants over his middling subcount, eating a £300+ pile of sh*te in what seems to be a ‘stunning’ bricabrack shop, well the key bit of content and culinary genius on display was dipping chips in mash.

Stunning. They then rope in Gary’s pet northerner to try and add some contrast to Gary to make him look like he’s some posho, where as he gives me more the vibes of man who would eat cold beans from the can in his pants if no one was watching.

The man cannot pronounce words to save his life, at Nandos we’re treated to HOOmous and pita, thank god the chain isn’t micheLAN star rated either. He seems to know nothing, which even a single watch through of kitchen nightmares would prep you to do a more convincing impression of someone experienced with food. (That’s not to mention the Ramsey-esq twang he likes to say basic nonsense in from time to time)

Last one for this visit to the trough that is YouTube food content, Gary stop talking down to the staff at resturants. They’re not amazing or kind for bringing you food, you’re telling on yourself that you think you’re above them. You’re not a force for good, treat them like people. And he’s nice as long as they don’t talk better than him (not a hard bar to clear) then the green eyed monster comes out. Inauthentic slop pretending to be high brow.

They both use the most annoying ideas for the quality of food too, key offender is THE CHEESE PULL.

It doesn’t mean a bloody thing in any context other than visual advertising to get you to buy the product, and often times it’s done by adding glue to the sodding cheese for marketing purposes. Are they eating glue, or are have we been sniffing it to sit through this tripe?
Don’t forget the snap of a sausage! No idea what that even means.

The more cringe and embarrassing he gets, the more I can’t watch it 🙈 fair enough, everyone has different takes on it. I do however think it’s not moral to plaster unsuspecting workers ,over the internet for click bait.

Indeed. He was in my husband's suggested list waaaay back when, when he had about 1k if that subs - it was kind of meteoric and a bit mesmerising to watch the vids and see it climb and climb. I remember saying to my husband that this must be an offshoot channel. The production shots were there from the off, which as we now know is entirely down to his son. As has been said on this thread - Gary is a useless food reviewer - there's a lot he doesn't like and he ran out of words a long time ago.
I think it was because in the beginning he was down to earth and was just showing people some good food that was around, then came the fast food, the 100 fish and chip shops, the clickbait slop and dumb thumbnails, and acting like billy big bollocks thinking he's a professional food reviewer, then everything went down hill

I've reflected on this overnight and I'm convinced that this was performative BS to deflect (even stop) any legitimate criticism. You cannot put any old BS out there and not expect to be challenged. "My truth' as opposed to THE truth doesn't exist. The fakery and hypocrisy has to stop and that is their modus operandi. They think we're all malleable to any old thing they say-if your mental health is so fragile take yourself off social media and live a quiet life. Interesting there's no evidence of any of what's been alleged which is extraordinary when you consider that they put their whole lives out there-i'm surprised they haven't done a 'join me for when I cut my toenails' vlog. Absolute nonsense.

Not bothering to watch it but i imagine its all exaggerated. Play stupid games win stupid prizes peddling rage bait. Also so he's against people 'ambushing' him in public but its totally fine/ 'right' for him to do it to people at work or for his pitbull danny to do it back?

I learned from the video that not many of those people actually like Gary. Shocker. It was also glaringly obvious who knows about food and who doesn’t. Gary didn’t even know what a latke was. Shameful. He’s that ignorant dickhead who works in payroll and is known for not washing his hands after going to the loo.

I see that vlog where he went to that house has done over 750000 views.
That's gotta be over £2k in the bank.

Monday I'm buying a camping table and chair. 🤯
