Wait, what's the punchline for that last bit about the maid?

:)

The woman has been his actual wife all these years! He thought he was dating "Butler" and that she was the hired help.

I figured. I live under a rock... is this a tv series, or a skit, or what?

Well, I'm not in any way from the UK so I'm not sure how well-known it is. But the two dudes in this sketch are roommates in a show I watched forever ago called Peep Show (which isn't what it sounds like). It's very funny, but very high on second-hand embarrassment. Anyway, a bunch of Irish guys told me that if I liked Peep Show, I should watch That Mitchell & Webb Look, which is a sketch comedy show made up entirely of short sketches like the one above.

I haven't watched all of them, but they are great. Some other favorites of mine are: this one and this one, but there are a huge number of them now.

I greatly enjoy how fervently you like to assure people that you are not just American, but Californian.

There is a cultural difference!

[oddishly]

Is that a diplomatic way of saying climatic?

[shifty_gardener]

No.
