Ash: [Whispering] Hey, 'Tubers, this is ThatHoneyMoonFiasco, and if you're wondering why the lighting on this video is so bad ... I'm literally in a wardrobe.

[Disembodied laughter]

Ash: We don't have closets in Britain. Okay, so we don't call them closets, but basically we just have these stand up things and everyone calls them wardrobes ... I did always kinda wonder that, you know? Do Brits come out of the closet, or come out of the wardro--

[Bursts into hushed laughter]

Ash: I've never heard something so anti-climatic in my life.

But anyway, here I am. In a wardrobe. Pretty sure there's a coat hanger lodged up my backside. [Pauses] No. What the heck is that? [Shuffling sounds] Oh. It's my mum's heel. Oh, yeah, good point. I'm not in my wardrobe. I'm lurking in my parents' room to ... literally come out.

[Sound of bedroom door opening]

Ash: [Drops voice even further] Shit ...

Dad: [Hollers]

Mum: Ahh! ASH!

[Ash laughing]

Mum: Ash! You fucking moron!

Ash: Surprise!

Mum: What the hell? What the hell is this? ... Are you recording?!

Dad: You idiot. I bit my tongue.

Ash: [Breaks down in laughter]

Mum: [Sighs in relief] For crying out loud, Ash. [Giggling] If I didn't know better I'd have thrown a book at you.

Ash: [Creasing] A book?!

Mum: What else do you expect me to have to hand? A bloody fire extinguisher?

Ash: Mum! [Still laughing] Mum, you're killing me. [Turns camera to angry-laughing mother] Look at her! That face. Oh my god, this is just priceless. This was so worth it.
