11 Reasons 'Great British Bake Off' Is The Greatest Show EVER
Youtube

I have recently discovered BBC's "Great British Bake Off" on Netflix, and it is everything I need out of a telly program and more. It provides laughs by the amazing hosts Sue and Mel, weekly drama when a soufflé flattens, and, of course, just all over British charm.

Not convinced? Let me share some moments of GBB sure to change your mind (and life).

1. Mel and Sue

This show is not even worth watching without Mel and Sue. The comedic duo opens the show with incredible witty banter and serve as the narrators, the bakers' motivational speakers and comic relief for when a biscuit inevitably crumbles.


2. Without them, who would set the mood for each bake with the starting phrase?


3.They're even able to give Paul Hollywood a giggle every now and then (which is no easy feat).


4. Speaking of, let's talk about Paul Hollywood.

He can be a bit of a tosser...

5. But when you see him give someone that "Hollywood handshake."

You know that sponge was damn moist, and you can guarantee no soggy bottoms were present that day.

6. The incredible Mary Berry

Any time a contestant says they're using gin in their bake she gets all doe-eyed.

7. She also has a naiveness that is just too cute to ignore.


8. The adult jokes

You simply cannot ignore the amazing adult jokes that are folded into the show's script more gently than air into a meringue.

9. And another one:


10. The phrase that has forever been trademarked:


11. The bakers

Though the name of this program might suggest a lovely day of baking in the English countryside (which there is), this is NOT A GAME.

IT'S BAKE OFF, AND YOU PLAY TO WIN.

Just admit it; you're gonna love this show. Trust me, it will get to the point that every time you see those rolling green hills, the quaint castle and the tops of the white baking tents, you'll just be like:

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
