James and Clair Buckley- At Home with the Buckley's

[MeghanSnarkle]

I'm probably in the minority here but I can't stand how 99% of influencers/vloggers/YouTube couples will never dare to show a single cross word or a nag or a moan either directly at or about their partner its all 'my handsome rock' or 'my king' or 'our whole world we would be lost without this man'
I love that the Buckleys show being pissed off, being fed up, a man being useless, petty arguments etc
I'm over these huns hero worshiping their men, shit scared to show even a bit of normality in a relationship on camera.

James Buckley. Clair Meek. Amazing.

Their channel has been such a delight and just plain damn hilarious to watch so far this year. They've managed to make lockdown fun for their family and other people in the process. Their banter is the best, the videos aren't at all overly edited, and they manage to have fun all while protecting their kids ( they don't show faces) and freaking GOOD ON THEM for that.

I hope they stay true to it, but I think the chance of fame or the channel changing them would be low because of their respective success up till this point. I look forward to their vlogs

Last vlog with Danny Dyer? Too good.

Anyone else watch?

Watched this weeks vlog,had to laugh at James, regarding his constipation and calling 111, im not surprised with his diet. Notvsure he eats vegetables hiscduet mostly consists of take away curries ,processed food and beer. Even Claire has said he has the diet of a fussy toddler.

It was very funny
Clare's face all the way through was hilarious.
James eats like my husband. Lots of meat and carbs and a distrust of vegetables or salad. Honestly I've given up as he is an adult.
I'm embarassed to admit this but last night we had quiche. And he put his in a bap. A bap. FFS. I couldn't believe it.

Wow! I assumed they perhaps studied in the US for a time but that’s crazy

The funny little twang on their accents is definitely Scottish.

In the spirit of this being a rave thread I'd say there's nothing to suggest that the boys have developed or are being allowed to walk around speaking as little faux Americans

They definitely game of course but playing instruments and music is clearly their big love those kids play better than most adults and that takes LOADS of practice .

 

[Maid22]

Nice to see they're uploading more ( less Danny dyer, can't stand him!)
Love how the more annoyed Claire gets, the stronger her accent gets!!

 

[Toffee finger]

He’s the first person non American to make a million pounds on cameo! I think he did a lot in lockdown

 

[Teawithnosugar]

The last two podcast episodes have had noticeably less ads in them! THANK THE LORD

 

[Loveit17]

I quite like when they show themselves socialising with their neighbours in the vlogs, they’ve been in them a couple of times and the couple that live next door seem really nice and down to earth as well, I’d rather see them than Danny Dyer!

When I heard ages ago James had a YT channel with his wife I avoided it as I thought it would be endless humble bragging and false. (Nothing against him personally as I knew so little about him, but I sort of dreaded another celeb showing off and getting masses of free stuff whilst pretending to be just like us).
But they genuinely are funny and nice and irritable and bored. The only vloggers I can be bothered to watch these days.

They come across as very relatable, just doing what most families do, admittedly some of it is probably a bit more exciting because of his contacts/friends, but they don't come across as braggy or show offs. I adore Claire, she is hysterical. I also like that they are protecting their boys identities, by not showing them.

Ahh I did a search not expecting to find a thread on them but I’m so glad there is. I absolutely love them. Despite being ~showbiz they’re actually so real and down to earth and in a properly authentic way. You know you get celebs and influencers who act like the common folk but still live in their mansions and pay a team of cleaners etc. James & Clair are just regular people in their family home living normal lives during this lockdown and I’m finding it really refreshing. Also I absolutely LOVE their vibe, with the indie music and Clair with her serial killers and all the pop culture art around the house. Just love them. Have I raved enough Really hope their youtube rise doesn’t change them.

A lot of subs would have come from James already being well known. A good majority of commenters seem to think it’s just Jay from The Inbetweeners. They’ve probably stopped watching now it’s him being more himself

Agree with you guys they’ve probably got a bit bored with it already or have more important work on now things have opened back up. I am still pleased they don’t show their children though!

I completely agree about the kids, that is the sign of good parents, the kids safety and privacy comes first

 

[Toffee finger]

Tbf he acts like a child a lot of the time

 

[Jelly Bean]

I don't mind them doing nothing much - I do think the problem is the editing which I'm sure they'll get better at. Some segments just go on a bit too long eg playing board games with the boys, going round the Ferrari showroom. Nobody would mind if the videos were only about 10 minutes long sometimes in they didn't think there was enough content.
However I like the way it is not incredibly slick.

 

[Neonmoon]

Just had a look to see if I could them in the rave thread.
Absolutely hilarious, my husband and I often laugh because I’m Scottish like Clair and he’s English like James and he loves all the bbq talk

hope they stay true to themselves

 

[Loveit17]

So happy there’s a thread on them! I love their vlogs, I don’t want them to stop doing it! I agree it’s good they don’t show their kids, their neighbours seem like great fun too, their house is gorgeous! (Not my decorating style but still a lovely house) such a nice, down to earth couple!

No vlog because of the camera,but no delay in posting the Lego Ad abd gifted items from Krispy kreme Doughnuts. I still watch,but the vlogs seemed more authentic and relatable before a management team got involved,

 

[MeghanSnarkle]

Ah I liked the recent vlog. Just them chatting and bickering. Has Clare had her top lip done? Loved the way she talked about having piles
James is so charismatic. He reminds me of my OH the food he eats. Lots of processed fish steaks and nuggets etc. I've tried to wean him off it (my OH not James) but have to accept its never happening.

100% .
so glad someone else spotted this yeah botox in her forehead and definitly top lip has had a small plump up very subtle but when she's on the lap top on sofa you can see that slight 'migrated' look above her lip also nails done and constantly flashing the channel handbag

 

[Suzyfickle]

I didn't know they had a channel, I sat between them on a flight once (I had upgraded with airmiles so I wasn't physically between them in a row of 3 seats, that would have been awkward!)

They both seemed lovely, they were flying to LA, he slept most of the way but I picked up from what she was saying to the cabin crew that they were going for a few months for a job he was doing and her parents were coming out the following week with the kids.

 

[viewtube]

I've only just watched yesterday's vlog, I noticed under the video where the thumbs up etc is, there's a new'thanks'button, apparently it's a super thanks, to donate to the channel, either £2,£5,£10or £50. As much as I like the Buckleys and understand that they need to earn money, I find this 'super thanks' button greedy,it's very clear that their management team are starting to show their influence. I really hope they don't move away from the 'real' content to staged content with their 'youtube' friends, Joe Sugg made yet another appearance

 

[MeghanSnarkle]

I loved this weeks vlog !

So natural and relatable, Clair being poorly but still stepping up with Halloween content was such a lovely touch.
