Aimee Lou Wood and David Morrissey in Daddy Issues.
MuttleyMutterson
For anyone wondering, the show is called BBC and it is on the Daddy Issues channel in the UK.
Quizz25S
This guy gets it. Well not potatoes but at least he's got his priorities straight.
NorrinxRadd
This is fuckin hilarious
WindowStreetJournal
Fuck, I thought it's gonna be some food-joke, and now I'm crying 2 minutes before a zoom meeting...
Thatsmykenku
Ello, gov’nuh!
StarshipSuperTrooper
I'll probably never watch this but her reaction when she says "Jesus Fucking Christ" ... thats solid acting... like she just channeled some rage from stupid conversation she had earlier in the week. We've all been there, just rarely see that realistic reaction on TV or movies
atatica
Welcome to British actors.

I don't remember this episode of Doctor Who.

I love how Dad only heard one thing, Sweet. The way you eat potatoes is entirely personal. Baked is best of course. Mashed is nice.
A foil wrap is to protect the oven from squirting and it continues to keep it warm for awhile.
If you micro cook it, wrapping it in foil AFTERWARDS continues to cook the potatoe.
EpilatorAlligatorBothReduceGrowth
To cut the guy some slack, after 40 and the experience of keeping kids alive the first 5 years a couple of times, the stress and sleep deprivation does a number on the brain. There’s neuroplasticity so long periods of safety and good food and reduced stress can make it normal again. But with kids and job and this economy…lol

Tbf to him, there are specific potatoes for baking in moody supermarkets w.g. Maris Piper or King Edwards. Nice bit though, exploit the ambiguity for all other worth
SolHSA
Huh, all potato-knowledge replies have been downvoted. Dontcha people cook? =)

Those two front teeth on her is cute af

Daddy Issues ftw
Omnimorph2112
David Morrissey is awesome. And she should cut the dad some slack! Maybe he isn't the smartest but I bet he has a shit load of dad related skills.
IIikethecutofyourjib
She's obviously emotionally charged. She's been hiding this from him and probably in some sort of denial herself and she just explodes. Happens to all of us. I think it's a great portrayal of eruption
jeejeejerrycotton
It's fiction.
villlllle
Why are they in the grocery store then?
jeejeejerrycotton
Actors get hungry, too.
jekath
Look, I'm a dad. And sometimes I do dumb stuff. Sometimes, there's stuff I don't know. And sometimes my youngest acts as if I'm the biggest idiot and it hurts. I raised her. It's on me. And it stings. I don't think I deserve contempt.
merrilywegoalong
David was brilliant in the Walking Dead
Thesaya
I mean, it's a breakdown moment, hardly shows what she's usually like.
Littledirtybirdyfeet
Even the smartest can have some weird ideas that they don't know aren't true until they're challenged.
textilelover
I knew a guy who was not stupid, not really highly educated, but not stupid, who legit thought that pork came from "the big white pigs" and ham came from "the little pink pigs." That was a pivotal moment for me that not all ignorance is stupidity. Or even a lack of intellectual curiosity. It's just accepting what someone told you once and you didn't really care to think about that particular thing.
IWasACatAllAlong
Dad skills like looking at you in a disappointing way in complete silence.
Becker37
Aww, out of all she said that's what he clung to... That's a good dad
warpfactor1
can never look at The Governor the same way again
Hashbrown123
Wait until you see the sexual tension between him and the Doctor. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XVOCjlHjbzM

What in the daytime soap...
brightorangeshorts
I always called them starch eggs meself
OliverClothesoff70
He played a big bad guy in The Walking Dead way back when it was still fairly good. “The Governor”. I had no idea he was British until now.
Tjitso
Yes, that's what I know him from. Thank you

Battlebladex64
I feel like 80% of the cast was British.
ThrowingSchadenfreude
I only knew because he was on a Doctor Who Christmas episode.
Agatsu74
The Guvnah, innit.
isnogudk63
Right, its all method acting until you need british actors to leap the show forward. Well, there are really good american actors, sure. So many are dead sadly james earl jones for example. But ok, the ones that came from theater were always more enjoyable 👏
SoberAndBored
But you knew the guy who plays Rick (Andrew Lincoln) is English too, right?
Tjitso
Never knew he was in Love Actually, until I saw it again recently.
VoidScreamer
Tbf, David Morrissey's southern accent is a lot better than Andrew Lincoln's
SoberAndBored
David Morrissey is Scouse. I'm Scouse, and he doesn't sound Scouse to me. Does he to any of you from other parts of the country?
SixSixxtySix
Think they were going for posh Scally in the above clip.
vellichords
I think a lot of internationally famous Scousers try to tone down their accent. He also seems to have more of an old Scouse accent and I believe he now lives down south, so it’s probably softened a LOT over the years due to him intentionally softening the accent that wasn’t overly strong to begin with and not living there anymore
vellichords
I do wonder if it comes back whenever he’s in Liverpool though - I’m from Liverpool myself but live in Scotland, my Scouse accent has never gone away but I do soften it a bit so people here won’t have any trouble understanding me, then whenever I go back home it always intensifies 😂
CriminallyMysophobic
loved her in "sex education"
RacecarIsRacecarBackwards
I like that her character was called Aimee, because her real name is also Aimee. And she is aimée for sure.
TheAnswerWasAlwaysMoreLube
She could be a good Squirrel girl. 🐿
Jewdakris
She's the only reason I finished the series, I need to know what happened to her.
whoisbatman
Was about to say the same thing, she nailed her role and gave an amazing performance.
MrBismarck
She should have paid more attention I guess.
GoatsAndGlory
Fuck, exactly what I came here to say.
DemSumBigAssRidges
I enjoyed that whole show. It's always odd when 20-somethings portray high school kids, but I still thought it was all well done.
Broken08
I can't overlook the mouth breathing through big teeth. I know. I'm sorry for me too. Down I go
HappyMirror
Its a super cute Rabbit-look!
CriminallyMysophobic
*shrug* i think her teeth are cute but not everyone sees things the same. that's how the world just works man. Cheers!
SteveD31415
My family simply used to bake potatoes in the oven, and the Skins would be crunchy. You'd scoop the potato out and eat the skins with salt and butter. Whoever came up with putting them in aluminum foil should be wrapped in aluminum foil and baked at 500 degrees.
GuysJustWannaFish
This kills the potato and/or moron in foil.
gswani
I don't know if I agree with this stance or not but the immediate, horror-movie fate you have wished upon those who disagree with you is making my day right now. Like "I'm not going to die on this hill, you are."
Hellbat666
My oven only goes to 450…
Like2Fox
What kind of seasoning would you suggest in this totally hypothetical situation?
thelonepig
Everything Bagel Seasoning is amazing on potatoes.
ilikepot8os
Honestly, I do mine with olive oil, salt, and pepper and it's great.
IainG101
Well, there's a cannibal name for human of 'long pig', so anything that's good for seasoning pork should work....
mutedia
The foil makes sure that the interior is cooked evenly, you can take it off to get a crisp skin
IainG101
The secret is microwaving them first to cook the inside, then baking them uncovered to crisp up the skin. No foil required, and slightly faster over all.
OkButWhyWereTheyFilming
They're just normal potatoes
xizar
That came to mind for me, as well. Thank you.
andHeLaughed
Thank you - that was my second thought. My first was that jacket potatoes might be good in eggless omelettes
OkButWhyWereTheyFilming
Wow a Whites reference too, nice!
CriminallyMysophobic
idk why this is so funny but i love it
OkButWhyWereTheyFilming
It's my favorite thing on the internet
Tyrannotron
I assume this is some UK thing I'm too American to understand, but what is a jacket potato, and why are they called that? (Assuming they aren't actually a potato covered in leather and she's the idiot)
Septcanmat
I hear they’re potatoes with leather skin.
tarataqa
BearUnhinged
Mmmh, I prefer parka potatoes myself.
backrideup9
Did the BBC logo give it away?
Burstflare
You could take away the sound and the BBC logo and I could tell it's from the UK just by homegirls front teeth.
Fhant
Hey, some people have trouble with looking at the BBC logo and be disappointed....because of the lack of it...
Hkafodays
Wut.
oldDudeButNotThatOld
Jacket potatoes sure sounds like a euphemism for small tits
JamesGabrielMartin
So those things you eat every day, French fries, they actually come from a vegetable called a potato. In other countries people bake them in their skins which they call jackets
HandoB4Javert
They used to be roasted under people burned at the stake, sometimes a wrapper would be put around to prevent too much charring - something like leaves or indeed low quality leather.
In more recent times on 'Bonfire Night' (5th November) they wrapped potatoes in tinfoil to protect against anything odd in the fire. That was also a disposable jacket...
HandoB4Javert
Those downvoters... https://www.tudorsociety.com/5th-november-1605-the-gunpowder-plot/
levelor
"Jacket potato" because once baked the skin sometimes hangs like a jacket on a person. Same with the term "bus up shut" for certain breads like roti. The bread when cooked looks like a busted up shirt - one with slight tears in it. There are other examples that are just as interesting.
Language is fun!
Grapeape2000
I think the "jacket" is the residual peel when the inner potato is squished or scooped out. Sometimes the squished potato is mixed with some sauce/spice and then replaced into the "jacket" for serving
Skeevethegreat
Is the jacket made of leather?
HeadJamistan
Those are "twice baked" taters I think? When I was a kid, we had a recipe called "put back potatoes" that was the same thing.
DeathLemons
Jacket potato food trucks are all the rage in the UK. They usually have tuna fish, currys, and baked beans as toppings along with cheese and various sauces. Check out Spudbros on youtube.
ladykaiserin
Sometimes they're called a jacket pat

I like my one with cheese and beans.
squishybaker
I had one with cheese, beans, and bacon it was the best thing I had eaten in months, it's just peak comfort food.
YouTubeRed
Had that for dinner today after posting this. XD
Beardedobject
Basically it's a baked potato that you cut crossed slits in and cook till crispy then peel the skin back. I do them in the air fryer, rub the potatoes with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, cut an x in the tops and cook for 35ish minutes. You want the skin nice and crispy.
ZIMISME
It was literally explained in the video. "Jesus fucking Christ".
gorgeousninja
I feel sorry that your countries historical desire to keep slavery and not pay the taxes it owed has lead down the years to you never knowing the delights of a jacket potato. How your poor soul must yearn.
Zamerine
And in French, they're called "pommes de terre en chemise", which is very very close to the UK thing, don't know who got it from whom though.
AbhainnFuil
They are called such as they are served with their ‘jacket’ skin still on. Other than this dish all large potatoes were peeled before cooking.
AbhainnFuil
It is only in my lifetime that someone had the outrageously brilliant idea of frying the peelings and flogging them to idiots who pay good cash to eat composting material.
StarshipSuperTrooper
For the US remake:
They're special potato's... you know like they've smoking like um... pot... not pot exactly... but something like that, arent they?
apairofpetducks
Complete with the inappropriate apostrophe lol well done
GypsyBear
American here who lived in the UK for 4 months. I think they are called jacket potatoes because they are served with the foil still on. They also have a couple toppings like a loaded baked potato.
Sprocker
Nah. They're called that because they still have the skin on.
Skeevethegreat
Is the skin made of leather?
SirChadwellHeath
Potato leather
Skeevethegreat
Mmmmmm the best kind of leather!
Lapindemort
Just make sure you don't plan that *and* cook it in a microwave.
IainG101
Best way to do them is microwave for 10-15 mins to cook the inside, give them a quick rinse under a clod tap, NOT DRY THEM, and then into the oven on the highest temperature for about half an hour to crisp up the skin.
llortamai
Are the toppings baked beans?
PlanetForScale
Typically
baals
Oh my god
SoberAndBored
Yes, sometimes. Did you think you were making a joke? https://imgur.com/orWQEVu
llortamai
I truly did, but turns out it was just an accurate guess. To be honest, I'm down with the beans, but I'd take the chili route. (American)
llortamai
BTW, I love that your pic has a baked potato with baked beans on it, served with a side of baked beans. Just need a pint of baked beans, served in a warm glass to round it out.. Cheers!
OneInThePinkTwoInTheStink
For people not from the UK, it's called a baked potato.
GIMike1972
According to the recipe I have, instead of poking it all over with a fork, you use a knife to cut an X on the topside of the tater.
ThongsAreFootwear
This whole comment section reveals a lot about the average american.
DefinitelyaHumanNotanAlien
A baked potato? Don't know what you're getting....
MrRandom314159
...so Russett Potatoes then?
elvianempire
russet potatoes are a group of potato varieties. they are suited for baked potatoes, but it's not their only use.
MBTerrorKitten
I think the first time i heard the term was in cuckoo. I was initially confused and then once i learned what it meant, i was annoyed.
thatlamer
Covered in baked beans because the british strive ever higher to lower the standard of their food
migratingotter
Oh come on people. This is funny. And they call all kinds of things pudding. Yorkshire pudding? It’s a dumpling cooked in meat fat. Black pudding? It’s a bread like food made from blood and sometimes large chunks of fat that’s sliced and served for breakfast (I actually liked this, shocked the shit out of my British bf). Though without the large chunks of fat, that was nasty.
Jaitch
Cheese, beans, more cheese. This is the way.
BeKindToOthers
Ah, so a potato + marijuana stir fry
OneInThePinkTwoInTheStink
Also works when toasted or roasted.
stulfer
The Brits need to be stopped with their insane naming of stuff haha
migratingotter
Yeah it’s crazy. I live with my brit bf and it’s beet root instead of beets, courgettes, filet (pronounced fill-it) and flannellette for flannel. Like you’re going to be pretentious about flannel and make it sound french when you deliberately mispronounce the french word filet?
stulfer
Haha yes they take pride in mispronouncing any word from a different language or culture.
OfficialLemon
I'd argue with you forever for everything else, but 'flannellette'?? I've lived in the UK my whole life and I've NEVER heard anyone call it that, it's just flannel (side note: I'm assuming that's for flannel as in 'flannel shirt'? At least in my part of the UK, we also call a washcloth a flannel, but that's a whole other thing).
Justboredtobehere
Newfoundland here. My grandmother used flannelette but I recall it was specifically referring to flannel bedsheets. Flannel in clothes was just flannel.
Gayforbae
Nah, that's a Petticoat Potato.
ezechiel71
🙏thank you🙏! Didn’t know till…
OneInThePinkTwoInTheStink
The jacket part is because it's baked with it's skin on.
NCPBullet
Jesus buttfucking christ. A jacket is something you put on.. nothing starts jacketed. If its just a fucking baked potato then call it that.
loma45
Is its skin some kind of leather?
arthurvanhoudt
I thought the jacket was the aluminium foil surrounding the potato for baking it. And then yeah usually if you bake ‘m you don’t peel ‘m!
melmboundanddown
And a jacket potato cooked in the microwave? Also tinfoil?
ShyYetKinky
I honestly thought the jacket part is the foil wrapped around it for cooking them
HunglikeaHamster
Aren't unpeeled potato wedges called jacket potatoes too? I always thought they were, but I'm not a Brit..
melmboundanddown
Potato wedges. I don't make the rules.
mrthewhitee
No, those are jacket slices.
Typenschilddelete
Those are Jojos, IMO.
HermitBean
Was that a...
Tootsie1
To the point the skin is crispy at least according to the cookbooks I've read
66gent
Thank you for this - I always thought jacket potatoes were like our American “loaded baked potatoes” - a split open baked potato topped with cheese, bacon, etc, with the toppings making the “jacket.”
TychoTychoAlba
Do you wear your jacket on your HEAD??! /kidding
stonecw
You're not alone - so did I.
