 Korean Englishman (Web Video)
comment
Josh Carrott, known as the Korean Englishman is a Youtuber whose channel's primary focus is on exposing Westerners to Korean culture through, among many other things, the wide array of food on offer to travellers venturing there. Having spent time at a Korean university, his videos are often bilingual; switching between Korean and English. For those unversed in either of the languages, the videos are helpfully subtitled in both.

Those Two Guys
 Korean Englishman (Web Video) / int_1c79ae8c
comment
Those Two Guys: in addition to Josh and Ollie, there are hip-hop artists/rappers Guvna B and Barney Artist, and high schoolers (now in University) Armand and Max, and Major Charles and his twin Reverend Chris. All three sets have a similar dynamic to Josh and Ollie, with Major Charles, Armand, and Guvna B being the more serious, level headed of the pair, and Barney Artist, Max, and Rev. Chris… being like Ollie.

Heterosexual Life-Partners: Josh and Ollie are this, having met in university, complete with constant jokes about Ollie being Josh's "first wife"note As their friendship started long before Josh meeting and eventually marrying Gabie

Black Comedy

comment
Black Comedy: The Christmas 2018 episode of JOLLY culminates in Ollie getting Josh a cremation urn. Not only that, he had it pre-engraved. With Josh's full name, his date of birth (complete with a blank space for his eventual date of death)... and 오늘은여기까지note "Oneul-eun yeogikkaji" / "That's all for today!"; their traditional sign-off engraved as the epitaph.

comment
Bilingual Bonus: Not so much a hidden message but, while the channel (and Josh himself) are referred to as Korean Englishman in English, the hangul which forms the channel logo is simply "Englishman"... in Korean.

Food Songs Are Funny
 Korean Englishman (Web Video) / int_2f1596b1
comment
Food Songs Are Funny: Inspired by his time in Korea, Andy created one about Korean fried chickennote often called chimaek; a portmanteau of "chicken" and "maek-ju", the Korean word for beer, complete with drafting in over half a dozen musicians and most of the Korean Englishman cast to serve as backing vocalists.

 Korean Englishman (Web Video) / int_3a1c2171
comment
The Man Behind the Man: In terms of Ollie's Korean lessons. A 2019 episode of JOLLY finally had him face-to-face with Hyunwoo Sun, one of the six authors of the Talk To Me In Korean series of textbooks Josh had been using. It went about as well as could be expected.

comment
Blatant Lies: Ollie's introduction to Episode 257 of JOLLYnote I Spent Six Months Preparing A Carrot Holiday, from May 11th, 2020 is packed full of them. Despite his proclamations of the episode he's celebrating being their best ever, it was their 24th worst in terms of overall view count; a fact which they mock through the use of fake accolades in a cinematic intro for Carrot Land: A Celebration.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Korean Englishman (Web Video) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The bilingual subtitles which form a fixture of newer videos weren't actually present in the early (late 2013) videos. Additionally, Josh spoke a lot less English on-screen, only doing so when directly addressing his co-stars, many of whom either didn't speak Korean at all or only knew very little.

 Korean Englishman (Web Video) / int_62907b90
comment
Bottle Episode: The JOLLY sub-channel is more like a Bottle Series, in which Josh and Ollie film episodes something approaching a studio format; the two of them sat in an indoor location in front of a camera.

 Korean Englishman (Web Video) / int_7360806f
comment
In-Series Nickname: Johnny, much to Josh's amusement, dubbed himself Michin Namjanote Korean for "Crazy Man" at the start of a cooking video, leading them to jokingly suggest that they do a Michin Namja video series. When Johnny later came on his second trip out to Korea, they did precisely that.

Ineffectual Loner
 Korean Englishman (Web Video) / int_790a1a93
comment
Ineffectual Loner: The whole aim of 2019's Alone In Korea series was to help Ollie stop being one of these regarding his command of and confidence in speaking Korean. Rather than perpetually be on hand with his relatively expert grasp of the language, Josh took Ollie's place behind the camera and employed "guides", such as Eric Nam, to help Ollie utilise what he'd learned on the Korean public in a series of scenarios and challenges.

Coordinated Clothes: Averted with identical twin brothers Rev. Chris and Charles. As far as the videos are concerned, they are rarely seen in clothing even close to identical, with one being an Anglican priest and the other being a Major in the British Army.

Cuteness Overload: After multiple series showing adults around Korea, one from 2020note Filmed back in January, before all of the pandemic-related lockdown measures were implemented worldwide has Ollie and his wife bringing their then two-year-old daughter Juno along. As if the episodes themselves weren't enough, the supplementary "Snack Review With Juno"note The filming for each main episode ended with Josh and Ollie treating Juno to one of the snacks she picked out from a convenience store in an earlier episode mini-series has its own voiced intro... by Juno.

Portmanteau Couple Name
 Korean Englishman (Web Video) / int_c8146364
comment
Portmanteau Couple Name: While not a romantic example, Josh and Ollie realised that theirs would make an ideal name for a video series; one which grew to be housed on its own channel. Whenever certain guests appear on JOLLY, their inclusion prompts alterations to the usual intro or, in some cases, a replacement of the title card. These include JOLLIBEEnote Josh, Ollie and Josh's wife Gabie and SHANDY.note used when Sho and Andy appeared and hijacked the intro

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": While Ollie's father does have a namenote Henry, both the fans and the video titles simply refer to him as Ollie's Dad, even going as far as having fans' gift packages addressed to him as such.
