Bedivere is offering 10 percent off for any customer willing to give up their phone just one meal. The news has gone viral and even reached the Ellen De Generes show.
I didn’t understand though why the audience laughed when they mentioned the bar was in Beirut.
Thanks Marc!
I think they just laughed because it’s all the way in Beirut. Not in the States.
Exactly what Sareen said. Her entire monologue is about what’s happening in the States and then she’s just like “…It’s in… Beirut” lol
I’m glad Ellen agrees with me that it takes more than 10% to convince me to drop my phone lol…
as for the laughter, dude shes talking abt the US then suddenly talks abt Beirut… it’s so random, u gots to crack up…
They laughed because the US audience still envisions Lebanon as a backward outhouse where restaurants don’t exist; and terrorists roam wild….At least they would get one right. 😀
I guess all the americans laugh on every single thing. Anyway, I don’t think they know where or what is Beirut ….. They are very bad in geography !!!
Beirut has long been a city that is a byword for danger, war and violence.
It’s always funny when it pops up with things that foreigners don’t connect with it.
Explaining jokes is like dissecting frogs in class….you get to see how it works but you kill it in the process.
Before watching the clip, I would have thought that they laughed because their image of Beirut is a worn torn dessert like city.. but after watching the clip it makes sense that they laughed because of the randomness of Beirut being relative.
I’m actually more interested in where she got this piece of info from. Clearly someone from Lebanon told her about this which leads me to think that the people laughed because Beirut and California aren’t exactly that close.
She simply reddit 😉
thnks to hizbolla we are known in all corners of the world !! they laughed because theres no way in hell they come to this shitty country..
