To be fair, the make up was probably done by a make up artist. They do brilliant things for comedy shows. I heard an interview with a make up artist on the radio who said one of her most interesting requests was when Bob Mortimer turned up one day asking to be made to look like a cauliflower so he could pretend to be Greg Wallace in a sketch.
I met an exact replica of these two in NE Scotland the other week, asking for directions. They were from New England and they were lovely. Same clothes and glasses 😆
Hahahahahaa yeah it basically says "this American tourist doesn't understand how to order breakfast in a BRITISH cafe in about 2009 or thereabouts why doesn't he just go back to America if he wants pancakes or like one of the many other cafes around London and the UK that do American style breakfasts why has he come here trying to influence our ways when so much of the rest of western culture has been dominated by American culture can't my son just read fourfourtwo and I as a British man drink my tea in peace without FOREIGN influence?" 😂😂😂😂 It's so spot on
The genius of this sketch is the first impression is that it makes fun of the Americans. On further watching, it's actually the distance and coldness of the British. The clever part is when Enfield pauses and thinks for a moment at the indifferent reaction and still carries politely and positively. The look on his face here is perfect.
It is very much making fun of the American tourist stereotype and it hits the nail on the head but it’s also mocking us miserable brits’ lack of tolerance of anyone remotely happy or enthusiastic. It’s mocking a culture difference and it’ll never grow old
Exactly right. We've probably all met Americans like this in real life, especially the older generation, and they may not be the most worldly but on balance they are usually fantastic people.
I've served this exact couple multiple times everywhere I've worked. I bet this was also one of those cafes you have to order at the till which is why the owner was already fed up when he came over
This is highly realistic.....it's a regular event for Brits anywhere touristy to just watch on in quiet horror as American tourists get on with whatever unintentionally obnoxious, yet completely incomprehensible thing they want to.
@@Theblacksheep81 just be careful not to get in a road rage situation ( most have guns in their cars ) and the stupid stand your ground law. In July 2018, police say Michael Drejka fatally shot a man who shoved and knocked him to the ground in an argument over a parking space in Florida. Although critics say Drejka’s use of deadly force was uncalled for, the Pinellas County sheriff declined to arrest him, citing the state’s “stand your ground” law, which gave him immunity. The decision sparked outcry
No. They are not open. They are desperate to make ‘life long friends’ as if it’s a collection. It’s as if they think life really is like ‘Leave it to Beaver’
'Many a truer word...' and all that. But I'll tell you what - a small group of us Brits hired Harleys and rode east to west coasts USA, from Florida to California, a few years back. We stopped at one motel in Shreveport, Louisiana and a railroad worker saw us parking up in the motel car park. He came over to us admiring the bikes and we struck up a conversation. He insisted on cooking us up a barbecue off the back of his truck and even bought us a few beers and we had a great chat with him. Proper Texan cowboy type, massive handlebar moustache and everything. We met many friendly Americans like that on the trip, which you wouldn't do in the UK. We all have our own stereotypes but I've always generally met good people in Americans, despite theirs.
And yet, I have fond memories of traveling alone in Britain about 20 years ago. Even as a somewhat introverted guy, I remember having a good lengthy conversation with some English folks at a pub in Wareham in Dorset. Of course, I did not act like the couple in this sketch. Their clueless, über-extroverted style would scare me away, too! I know I find myself acting more English when I'm in England, more German when I'm in Germany, and so forth...
It’s the same with English landlords. The scene from that American holiday in Europe film in the hotel says it all. I rented a room in London and there were notes all over the place like switch the light off and close the door etc etc
@richgl31 Paris is a favourite destination of single, middle aged Japanese women who have dedicated themselves to their careers. When their hormones start to go AWOL, they suddenly crave romance. So they use a chunk of their life savings to go to Paris in search of blossom trees, gentle love songs played on accordians and swarthy waiters who will kiss their hands and make them giggle girlishly. What they find are rude waiters and dog turds everywhere. At least once a month one of these love-lorn ladies has to be flown back to Japan in a state of shock.
There's comedy pedigree and provenance there mate . . . Refugee from the Fast Show and the earlier Police comedy show "The Good Guys". So many of these things come from observation of ordinary members of the public.
It's not just that Harry sounds like John Wayne ... it's that so many Americans sound like John Wayne. His mindset and talking style are so stereotypical of that nation. Hate it, hate them.
Everyone in America sounds exactly like this man, as well as John Wayne. We all say “third kotter” and talk about the “kotter-back.” Every. Single. One. Of. Us.
This reminds of when myself and my mate went to the World Cup in 2010 and we had to share a cab with an American Dad and his son to the England v USA match. The Dad was OTT, but didn’t understand football at all!
everyone is saying how good Enfield is but the woman is brilliant too. Don't know who she is but even the way she says _'is there anyone sitting here?'_ is spot-on
Or it's a directly copied Welsh or East Anglian placename because that's where some of the British migrants ended up. New England has shitloads of placenames taken directly from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and sometimes Yorkshire. Pennsylvania is full of Welsh stuff.
@@Sogeking995 It's weird, those names aren't English but they're not really Aborigini either. Or in New Zealand it's faux-British mixed with Maori, for example you get Thomastown just up the road from Wauehitikianane
The point of the daft name is because most places American tourists mention are places a British person is almost unlikely to visit. So it just sounds like twaddle to us. Same if the boot was on the other foot "Hi, were from Tiddlyborough upon Whatsersheere!". I always find it funny when you ask an American tourist where they are from and they give you way to much information "Yeah, I'm from New York. Brooklyn. The upper east west lower side near the south side north park delicatessen. Right across the block from Papa Luigi's bagel shop. The one on Twelfth Street. Not eighty second Street.
Well intentioned just too much. Where I live in Australia it's a popular cruise ship stop over and people just sigh when they show up on the old dirty P&O boats.
@@goodshipkaraboudjan I can understand how we could be overbearing in a society that tends to stay to themselves a lot more. I once engaged in a 2-hour long conversation with a customer service representative at an insurance company discussing philosophy alternative medicine and politics LOL but the irony is i got contacts to numerous health treatments and better sources of nutrition that proved effective as a result of that. We network and exchange information, it's the American way. :D
I spent a few years in the south of the USA and frequented a very pleasant restaurant chain through the southern states known as Cracker Barrel. Of course take out the rude words and this was what conversation was!
I used to deal in Blackjack in the Bahamas and we had a lot of British dealers and American tourists, the conversation of a couple of yanks went like this : " Honey I'm coming over to play on your table, that dealer said I had wanker disease, I know what a wanker is I've been to London" his wife replies:" Oh dear honey, is there something you can get for it from the Doctor?" I knew the dealer who called him that, not the sort to mince his words if someone upset him.
As an American 🇺🇸 this was hilarious! I love the way we are friendly and just happy by nature. I wish folks around the world would lighten-up a bit and see their lives less miserable. Many stereotypes are true on both sides of the pond. I do not find this at all offensive, just like I expect Brits 🇬🇧 to not be offended when we make fun of their quirks and ways.
Well said..... We all have "our quirks and ways"....Makes the planet so much more less boring...as it would be if we all shared the same traits and mannerisms. 👍
Oh boy they would hate me lol 😂. I’m from the south where people are really open and friendly . Plus my accent sounds like a hillbilly. I may have to visit sometime 👍
@@seantoner7392 A certain type of English tourists certainly, the type that go on cheap package holidays and get wasted on cheap beer. I'm a Brit and they act much the same when they're here
I'm in an American here in Suffolk, and I'm still half like this, with the hey, how ya doin, and the cheerfulness. Am I missing something with the Paedo thing?
Also I think it’s a play on how certain words on one side of the pond means a totally different thing on the other. Like US phrase “fanny pack” and UK’s word “fag”.
I work in IT Support and we just recently took on US clients. They literally open their calls with "Hi, how are you?" and I respond with a slightly more polite version of "what do you want?"
This is so true. Had some Texans do this to us at a B&B once, plenty of other seats but they sat at our table and started talking about gender politics.
Enfield' s grand homme de bonne famile, American style, and Whitehouse's expression of incomprehension and mild terror at the mere mention of the word Paedo . . . Clutching the kid . . .just shows you what 2,600 miles of water and a different emphasis by the red-top press can do ! Smooth-as-silk sketch.
" red-top press ". never come across that phrase before. guessed it's meaning but looked it up anyway, just to check. thanx Nicholas for furthering my education. （⌒▽⌒）

Hundreds of comments to read below but if you take out the ones pointing out that the Americans would not spell out paedo with an A then it can be cut down to around fifty.
I'm sure when you were in a different country you ordered more than normal to try and get a taste of as many things as you could. Why not? You are most likely not going to return to the same country, so why not try as many things as you can while you are there?
I work in a shop in a tourist area of England. The other quirk of American tourists is their habit of losing things. They are so bothered about being 'in the moment' that they walk out leaving passports, bags of shopping, piles of cash and credit cards, umbrellas (they don't get the concept of a brolly), coats, scarves, hats. I've lost track of the times I've had to chase them down the street to return their property.
Enfield is uncanny, look at the face / makeup and demeanor. What an incredible talent.

Why not? You are most likely not going to return to the same country, so why not try as many things as you can while you are there?
@@SDRockman But the guy is ordering what he would normally order in the US, not what he could order in the country he's visiting.
@@AndinoKiwi Oh aye. Good point.
@@SDRockman They don’t have just cheese sandwiches in the United States?
I have no idea what you're talking about but I'm sure it's true
That is effing classic 🤣🤣🤣
Just brilliant
The names of the teams! 😂😂
I work in a shop in a tourist area of England. The other quirk of American tourists is their habit of losing things. They are so bothered about being 'in the moment' that they walk out leaving passports, bags of shopping, piles of cash and credit cards, umbrellas (they don't get the concept of a brolly), coats, scarves, hats. I've lost track of the times I've had to chase them down the street to return their property.
