Alright, let's get this out of the way. This list is meant to be a joke. We love the United States, and we love the United Kingdom. We aren't trying to start a war. This entire list is meant to be in good humor. In fact, some of it is actually hard on the UK. (losing at sports that they invented?) So please, please, please don't take offense.
While there are things that the UK does legitimately do better than the US, there are also things that the US does better than the UK. It flows both ways. For the purposes of our list, however, we chose to present it in this way for no specific reason as it is rather easy to pick on both countries!
So, if you have never been to the UK or the US, we highly recommend you visit. At least once. As it stands, it isn't even all that different. Both countries speak English, have a common history, and share a similar culture, but there are still things that can be quite different. That is what we are trying to highlight in this list. Having said that, these are 25 Areas In Which the United Kingdom Totally Triumphs Over the United States!

We've been getting a lot of comments regarding the "British inventing the internet". Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web. Americans created the internet. They are two separate things. The world wide web uses the internet to work. www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/Web_vs_Internet.asp
Yea the US created the internet, millions of interlinked computer networks used to transmit data. It encompasses information sent via email, chat tools, apps and a range of other online services in addition to websites.
The World wide web is basically the pages , hyperlinks data and documents that hold it all together, so basically the internet as we know it would be useless and consist of emails an basic texts if it weren't for the Brits, you are welcome.
Yo I'm English and I love both UK obviously and USA I mean we're basically BFF'S
They're just assuming it they don't actually know.
Well Australia invented WiFi. Just thought I’d point that out
list25 wrong. We invented it along side America in ww2 for communication purposes.
America don't lose at their own sports because they are the only ones who play them.
Yes lol, If as many people played basketball than football the USA might have some competition. To be fair though, I think they would still do well. The US likes to inject huge amounts of money into sports schemes and scholarships.
And yet they demolish everyone else at the Olympics...
+PAXperMortem Their two best sports by far are the black people and school skeets
its not even their own sport 😂 basket ball was invented by someone in Scotland and "american football" was taken from british rugby
Not exactly "taken" I'm not sure about basketball, but rugby only inspired the Us versian of football. :)
Being British the one thing we are great at is taking the piss out of someone, even if its our own friend. Nobody is safe.
I know man. We invented racist names for every one! In fact the only people to create racist names for us were our own colonists the Australians. Pommes limeys lol
True! Everyone in schools these days are tryna act hard and when proven wrong then fucking say no u, I'm so fucking offended when they say that. I'm scared of em lmfao watch out crazy kids about.
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true
shut up daz...you dick!!!lol
We're also great at being in the top 5 most powerful countries
"two words, David attom-burrow" oh god I'm crying 😂
That's what i was looking for
Who’s David atom-burrow
Do you mean David Attenborough ??
Your a fucking idiot Attenborough is one word
@@giggabyte1075 did u watch the vid? 😂
I am British and the house voltage is 230v Not 220. It used to be 240v. Europe use 220v cos they can't be trusted with a extra 10 volts 👌
Chris Gordon 😂
Chris Gordon It's nominally 230, the same as Europe, it was harmonised a few years ago. But actually, nothing changed as a tolerance either way was permitted, so the UK supply is still around 240 volts and much of Europe around 220.
Pls halp there are only to plug holes in my hotel room I nead assistonce
Chris Gordon does anyone give a fuck?
Chris Gordon-did have a titter at that one!
The reason we don't win at our own sports is because other countries actually play them
ohhh
Lily. Practically all the world sports originated in Britain or were first formalised in Britain.Soccer (as it was originally called), rugby, cricket, tennis and golf are just the most famous.Britain was the first modern democracy, had the first modern political system, began the mechanisation of agriculture, had the first scientific animal breeding system, introduced the first museums dedicated to understanding, the first modern zoos studying animal behaviour, introduced many modern sciences including geology, and palaeontology, mapped the world, introduced time zones - so that now the Prime Meridian runs through East London, invented the first telegraph system.Britain brought about the industrial revolution - inventing (manu)facturies, railways and modern shipbuilding. England abolished slavery in 1772 - the first to do so - which probably added to the determination of the American colonies to separate. Carried out the greatest act of genuine altruism in the history of the word - the fight against the slave trade. And civilised half the world. Preventing the murder of children who were deemed unclean and stopping widow burning - to mention a tiny fraction of the achievements of the most remarkable people who have ever lived. But now doomed to extinction, betrayed by their own sense of duty to the world. .
Well I mean there's also the olympics of course where we pretty much dominate, but whatever, nbd
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh rip USA
+Carolyn Piera how many of those were actually ethnically English or should I say Scottish Welsh or Northern Irish, actually Northern Irish isn't British !! it's the part of the UK, so technically Northern Ireland was not represented in the Olympics because it was Team GB not Team UK anyways I'm digressing. oh, yeah ,how many were actually natives ?.....Rule Britannia. most of them Nigerian French Belgium Zimbabwe Somalian Irish actually quite a few Irish ...ethnically Irish I mean, the United States is a country of immigrants at least the Chinese are Chinese.
the way he pronounced Attenborough😂😂
dear they cant pronounce anything I'm not even surprised.
I was scrolling through the comments looking for someone that noticed that😂
He should of said Louis theroux
Ikr lmao
It made me cringe so much
Another quick one.....
In the UK we come home from school alive
That's true
that guy from MI6 fixed 😂
Boom
otaku winner what?😂 idiot you like
@@joshuadeleon1348 we have something called police and cameras so ppl don't just kill u on the road (not hate)
you forgot a very very important thing HOLIDAYS we get 4 weeks paid holiday every year plus 6 individual days of a year called bank holidays.
No, we get eight Bank Holidays: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday (some get Easter Tuesday as well but it's optional, not mandatory), May Day (first Monday in May) Spring Bank Holiday (last Monday in May), August Bank Holiday (last Monday in August), Christmas Day and the last one of the year - Boxing Day.
I almost got offended when you pronounced David Attenborough's name wrong
Jayda Bailey
I did
same
me too
how about that eeeelectric supply fact?
I thought it was a joke, i didn't laugh.
26. Monty Python
27. The Rolling Stones
28. No mass shootings
29. Better chocolate
30. Castles. We have castles.
Chocolate?? Cadburys, Fry's and Terrys are now owned by Mondelez Int (Kraft Foods) and have changed most of the recipes for inferior chocolate. Most products are now made in Poland.
Mars are also USA owned and only makes a few things over here.
Nestle are Anglo-Swiss but cannot or will not confirm which products are made in UK if any.
So other than Thorntons and a few small manufacturers, there's really no such thing anymore as British chocolate. Sad but true :(
+Elwood Gizmo The point of brexit was to stop immigrants into the country though.
+KawaiiController yeah people are profileing Muslims as dangerous
Also, the US Government created ISIS for their own ridiculous, controlling, reasons.
+Elwood Gizmo
You are the racist one, the media has made you racist. I can't believe people like you exist.
We lose at our sports because they are ALL worldwide but American sports are only in the US
Like basketball and volleyball?
@@yuehagime8302 my encyclopedia states basketball was invented in 1891 by Dr. Naismith and volleyball was invented 1895 by W Mogan.....both in the U.S.
Rex Hunt Naismith was Canadian
@@fandangobrandango7864 the point where was the game created..in both places it was the US..
And also the UK plays in most of the games divided.. Imagine if their football team had the likes of Gareth bale, Ryan giggs, George Best and many others.. Is there any other country that has competitiveness in multiple sports like UK?? Football, cricket, golf, rugby, hockey,boxing etc .. the british talent is not only divided due to engagement in different sports but also due to divided play of four talented countries.... for evidence.Great Britan with a population of just 65 million always ranks higher in the olympic table against the likes of US with over 300 million and china over 1 billion ... see that's the evidence of real british talent...
Why can't American stores include sales tax in the price?
Shadow Wolf78 because we would like for more people to buy our products in stores but if we include the taxes our marketing would go down
Sales taxes are different everywhere even in the same states. It's to hard to keep track of
Shadow Wolf78 why not
Shadow Wolf78 , it’s like this in Canada as well. Basically just a marketing tactic to make it seem like prices are lower. Both North American countries should implement a law that says you must include it. I know MEX is in there too, I’m just unsure about their taxation procedures. 😉
There to lazy! 😆
1. British schools aren't shooting ranges
Hani 👏👏
Hani oh snap that was a good one
Due to it happening once and then the limeys banned most guns.
Nah, they’re breeding grounds for ideological indoctrination.
Hani nope they are just stabbing areas. How's the high knife related crimes? How's the home invasions? How does it feel to know that your pretty much fucked when it comes to a lunatic with a weapon because your tyrant outdated kings and queens won't let you have the right to bare arms?
another plug fact, you think stepping on a (series of plastic moulded bricks made in Norway, which have the ability to connect) Lego is painful step on a UK plug
Made a correction. Because some minor language issue with my grammar. Can be seen in brackets, I hope @D town is happy now.
"@UCkgVTZ-iY4KY92AJIUWUINg it's Lego not a lego. Did you not read the other comments"
- D Town
Totally agree! The worst pain of all which never seems to end.
I was sick after standing on a plug fucked me up
Oh god I die every time
Lego, its just Lego, Not "a lego" or "legos"
"Stepping on Lego is painful"
Nice somebody who agrees with the Lego situation. as Legos is just wrong
1) We invented you lot. Not one of our better days.
I like your comment about Americans, Had me laughing my head off. Take care and HAVE PEACE. Timbo Two's.
But we kicked your ass though.
Amanda Morse I assume you’re talking about the war of independence. If so, you only won because you got help from the French and Spanish.
@@zainchandia7355 Spain did not help
Romy Toe: That's good because we have covered ur ass for the 100 years..
Like from England
Comment from America
Joshua Ogwé hey
I live in the uk but I’m from America sksks
You mean the UK. England is a country in the UK 🇬🇧
Uk
American me
The reason why we can't win at football is because it's so popular, unlike basketball...
USA doesn't always win at basketball. Lithuania,Argentina....just 2 of many countries that HAVE beaten the USA over the years. Trust Americans to go balls out for minority sports. True England have only won the World Cup once but it's once more than the USA :)
They call their baseball final the World Series despite only them and a few in Canada taking part. The NFL winners up until a few years ago were called the world champions....minority sports they thrive in....NFL is like gay rugby anyway. All that pointless padding....
Now now!
I agree mostly.
But the World Series is not some ego thing.
The first sponsor of the tournament was a newspaper/mag called "The World" - so they called it "The World" Series. (almost like Coca-cola Cup)
But yes - the NFL winners calling themselves "World Champions"?
So Leicester City should call themselves "World Champions" of real football?
I agree - utter bullshit.
The reason why the British can't win at football is we are rubbish at it.
+TheKodiakbare If there was a British team over the years we would've had Gareth bale. George best.. Ryan giggs. dalglish etc. would've had a way better team and would've succeeded a lot. sadly we didn't have that. we had two of the best midfielders of all time Gerrard& Lampard and our mangers never made use of them. poor management.
+sam a lot not alot
British invented sports like Football, Cricket, Rugby and Tennis. These sports are played globally while we aim to compete against other countries whereas USA invented sports like basketball, American football and baseball which are sports that most countries have no interests in which is why its main audience are just Americans. That's why America comes first in all of its sports where as the sports created by the British have more competition across the world.
+OGslimJesus'sBigBrother Posted up on Frank block Many Americans and Canadians play it but have you ever heard of a Basketball world cup. There's a world cup for Football, Cricket and rugby where numerous countries around the world compete in these sports including tennis tournaments such as Wimbledon which hosts tennis players from across the world. More people equals more competition.
Britain invented most of the popular sports of the world like, football, rugby, cricket, tennis etc and we are crap at every one of them. 😄 By the way it's "FOOTBALL" not "soccer. Because it's played by kicking the ball with the foot. In American "football" the ball is hardly ever kicked by a players foot. They bring on a special guy to kick the ball. So how can it be football?😳
+OGslimJesus'sBigBrother Posted up on Frank block You should check the viewing figures for sports like football for example the promise league and compare it to sports which are mainly viewed by Americans and Canadians
+Ali Hussain premier league*
+OGslimJesus'sBigBrother Posted up on Frank block The French began playing a sport which required using the palm of your hands whereas the rules of the game and the way its played was created by an Englishman. Take away the rules and the racket which is used to hit the ball its no longer tennis mate.
I'm from LA but I been to Glasgow London Birmingham etc in the U.K. Seriously The UK is way nicer
i rate that, but m8, your grammar's atrocious

Actually David Attenborough’s name is pronounces David Attin-Bruh...........
I'm glad you pointed this out
When he said it no joke my eyes widened so much lmao
David Atten BROOOOO
Lol now he's A Sir David attenborough

He spelled it how the guy pronounced it...
nickthefox72 I don't believe I heard Sir David Attenborough enunciated on the video / No respect for you missing the point.
yes
when you spell Attenborough wrong XD
In Britain we’ve got Callum’s Corner, chavs, rounders and year 8 roadmen in training. What more could you ask for?
A way out
Double Deckers (the chocolate bar) and pickled onion Monster Munch. We should get the Royal Air Force to air drop these to the yanks, call it overseas aid.

We British kick arse at all sports that are played in pubs.
Yes!
apart from football. we're shit at that.
+dreadnought that depends on the pub and how messy a night it is 😵
darts xDDD
In chess lol
The British invented the world wide web and also made the first computers.
Actually Scotland invented the computer to and telephone I'm sick of Wales and England taking the credit of my precious country
The US Department of Defense awarded contracts as early as the 1960s for packet network systems, including the development of the ARPANET (which would become the first network to use the Internet Protocol). The first message was sent over the ARPANET from computer science Professor Leonard Kleinrock's laboratory at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to the second network node at Stanford Research Institute (SRI).
Well technically you are correct, however if we're talking about modern computers, (the ones you think of when you think "computers") and the actual internet we know of today, that'd be the US. Modern computers needed one thing that allowed them to move out of the giant rooms they were in and into the home: the microchip, those were invented in the US. Along with the APRANET, which was the actual forbearer of what we now know of as the Internet. I'm not saying the US was the first to think of computers or the Internet or automobiles, etc… we just made them practical and mass producible so as to bring down the prices so virtually everyone could enjoy it.
Tommy Taylor I think it's sad that Alan Turing and his group are not widely recognized for having invented the computer, due to it being a state secret for decades.
British refers to all those who are citizens of Great Britain, that means Scottish people are also Brittish
The Inventor of Basketball was James Naismith, a Canadian in 1891 who technically was a Brit so we invented that as well.
You must be black.
@@robertsettle2590 how did you come to that conclusion you racist bastard.
Yeah but, Rounders girls game in the UK. Give a baseball player a cricket bat and have fast ball bowler chuck a hard red ball doing 140 km at him !!, see if you can hit that buddy
Correct basketball is an English invention
I remember having to work in Canada for a few years on behalf of the UK Government. I remember my shock at the HUGE gaps in the public toilet doors! Why would you do that? In the UK all the door have locks on them that tell you if they’re occupied or not. You just need to use your eyes. Peering through a gap at someone relieving themselves is perverted.
Learning this you can almost understand why they are afraid of trans people in their bathrooms...almost. Brits have no excuse.
Queuing. We even queued at Dunkirk.
I second this comment.
Thats funny,,, pissing my self at that one,,,lol
This is such an underrated comment
I'm British and been watching the differences between and English and American humour, they say we (the British) like to be more realistic and self depreciating! This comment sums that up so perfectly, finding the humour in dire situation, thank you for making me laugh!
I went to a cathedral and everyone was queuing when there was no ropes
Also the UK’s average IQ is 100, where as the USA’s average IQ is 98.
Tiny Tomato OMG that’s such a huge difference!!!
the difference is quite insignificant
1%
Londoner...136IQ 👍
In that case why didn’t you send a man to the moon.
The date format thing......the usa is the only country in the world to use month, day, year. The rest of the world use date, month, year.
That is the old British format. The Dule if Wellington dated his letters that way. It hung on in the US, as they were not paying attention to changes in
London.
Same reason they have the old pint, not the new Imperial pint.
Wait, they do? oh, you mean like 1/12/2019?
Actually the rest of the world is pretty split between DD/MM/YYYY and YYYY/MM/DD however both make more sense than month in the middle
Canada also uses mm/dd/yyyy.. but not on some official forms. It's a mixed bag with them
@@ryangrange938 No it makes no sense.
We dont spend any dollars. We use pounds sterling.
no shit
Aye in Scotland 🏴 no in England
Who cares??????
Yeah, it is annoying that USD $ have become a "global currency" and most things are done in it, can't each country just use their own?
(This isn't really serious, please don't take offence as if it is).
So what???? A pound is worth what $1.35...
THE BRITISH INVENTED THE INTERNET!!
No. They didn't. The internet and the World Wide Web are two separate things. "The World Wide Web (WWW) is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet. The World Wide Web was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing. The origins of the Internet date back to research commissioned by the United States federal government in the 1960s to build robust, fault-tolerant communication via computer networks." So basically, you access the World Wide Web via the Internet. ~Mike
Not to worry, the Brits invented the computer, as well as many other important every day things.
Yes, that's alright, we ruled half the world, including America, essentially creating the United states. Blowing you out of the water, does that put you to shame?
I never said anyone created America. I simply stated that the British colonized 13 states on the east coast of North America, which, once gained independence became the United States of America. These states never would have needed to gain independence if the British Empire had never colonized them in the first place and it's unlikely the 13 states would have united.
Secondly, no one fled, it's called the British Empire for a reason. We conquered and ruled. And i completely agree with the two words "religious" and "bullshit" going next to one another, they're quite the complementary couple.
Next, you seriously believe the United Kingdom is run by Muslims? Wow you're ignorant! Let me educate you. According the latest (2011) census, 87% of the population in Great Britain is white, as opposed to 13% of the population of Great Britain being other ethnic minorities. Regarding religion, only a small 4.4% of the population is Muslim, whereas, a majority being Christian at 59.5%, of which 93% are white. You, like many others are being fooled by the media and are oblivious to reality. Now, yes, that is the 2011 census and when the new 2021 census is released i guarantee you those percentages will vary, including the Muslim population living in the UK. However, i can also assure you that Muslims will still be the small minority that they are today. And, if a president that follows Islam is ever put in to power, that doesn't mean Muslims run our country just as much as any Christian. Religion is a belief system, a belief in god or a supernatural being, or fiction as i like to call it. Much like your belief of religion running a country.
Lastly, you are delusional if you think Arabic will become Britain's official language.
Wadaeaan lak jaddana, wakunt kays sadhij min alqarf.
I trust you know what that means, and for the majority that don't speak Arabic, google translate is very helpful.
Yes i did notice that.
So you don't give a "rat ass" about history but you do about climate? Just goes to show how uneducated and simple minded you are. AND WOW, what a hypocrite you are. You falsely accuse me of stereotyping you, when you call me "little girl" and "princess"? Some nerve, but don't worry, i'm not going to judge you for not knowing the meaning behind big words like stereotype.
britian didn't invent soccer they invented football.
Lady Wolf futbol**

Britain losses at its own sport because they are played all over the world. American sports are only really played in america.
Op Game but in America it's just one league like football and basketball, the teams are are just in cities battling for one championship
Op Game Basketball is played everywhere bud.
Matt Malloy can't think any basketball league of significance outside the US...
Not near me matey

Some are jokes but most are actually true...
The shirt, the sonic screwdriver, I'm dying!!😂
But losing at football is what being British is all about?
you know.... youre right

+SomeCunt no one really cares about olympic football
+Ben Mccarthy well over here in Europe football is more popular than most sports (don't know about all of Europe I live in Iceland) but football is extremely popular and it is ALOT more popular then American football

Interesting and well observed list thanks for the upload Mr American .
"No one is better than britans in complaining"
Dude ever been to India?
Or France.
We did spend a while occupying India during the Empire.
Till a massive combination of revolution, peaceful protest, and a national crisis of conscience dismantled the Empire.
Which makes it both the largest Empire, and the only Empire never to collapse under its own weight.
They got cricket from us (And, are fantastic at it!) Why not the complaining as well?

26. We don't use Schools as shooting ranges
Dunblane. Jus' sayin'
(and I'm british, so don't get offended... we just do it less often, not 'never' )
Gun laws in the UK are better as well. In the USA the NRA's solution to lowering school shootings is by giving teachers guns cos that'll really lower gun crimes especially school shootings.
well if everybody has a gun then criminals will be forced to stop or risk getting shot
Sith ben is the reason every country mocks the USA, people, here is your poster child for 'i'm an idiot'
The way he said David Attenborough
Ttenneb Sicnarf its the same way they say Edinburgh... pisses me off

Ttenneb Sicnarf All the yanks say it that way francis
It was a great choice though.
so annoying
This is something I’ve needed for so long.
Enjoyed the video
Anyone who is truly patriotic will gladly admit the flaws in their country instead of just blindly saying their country is the greatest.
literally the only sensible comment on this video
Therefore we the British who complain at literally everything surely are the most patriotic people in the world?
The major flaw in every country that uses democracy is the peoples (Americans English and so on) don't realise that there governments are there to represent us. Not to start wars not to rape plunder and kill innocent people not to bomb children
hi there from russeeyia. peace
Britain invented the Internet, Not America.
Canada invented Basketball, Not America.
I might be wrong but wasn't it the World Wide Web (www) invented by a Brit. I think the internet was used by the US military years before (1960's)
I will give that to you and agree that the 'Internet' was invented in the USA long ago. But, today, when people say 'I'm on the internet', they are actually using the 'World Wide Web', which isn't technically 'The Internet'.
I would say that both 'World Wide Web - www' and the 'Internet' are seen as one in the same.
Man With An Accent yup
"wasn't it the World Wide Web (www) invented by a Brit..."
Better still - an Englishman:
Tim Berners-Lee !
But if you look at the WHOLE Computer/PC/Internet/WWW 'package' over time, you could reasonably describe it as yet another piece of ANGLO-AMERICAN inventive genius........................(IMHO)
Britain invented America, Not America. Wait hang on...is that right? Lol
You are so good and could not have been better about 24 and 20
Good vid, as you said at the start all tongue in cheek.
The British are not the best at complaining. Asian mothers are.
Except when you're in college - because then it's Asian dads.
You're allergic to bees? That's my boy.
They call us A-sian, not B-sian.
B stands for 'below average'
Being a British born, living in Hong Kong.
British people are miles better at complaining.
To be honest here people will just follow the rules no matter how stupid they are.
Some elderly women complain a lot at restaurants say, but only complain to each other and the staff, the second the boss walks in the room they'll say it's lovely.
British people will only complain to the boss.
This is just my experience.
+Jaw Ji Haha that sounds right. We think speaking to a boss or manager will get to the bottom of a problem more efficiently by assuming they're more qualified. That's why I can tell you some call centres have employees pose as managers even though they are qualified the same as a regular employees. It magically calms angry customers down that are transfered to a 'manager'. Hilarious when you think about it. 😅
YOU ARE A-SIAN NOT B-SIAN
This is where the English and Irish are so alike! Irish people will crib like mad in the pub, etc,but when it comes to making official complaints, forget it! There is a reason though; if you try to make an official complaint in Ireland you will get absolutely feckin 'NOWHERE!!! Brits and Irish WILL protest when things are really out of order though, as with the Poll Tax and Water Charges, and engage in civil disobedience! TBH ,I'm glad we don't yet have a litigation culture like America in our two nations!
We (the British) name our sports properly
Also American football is literally poor man’s rugby 🏉
yeah.. american should name it hug ball... not football
And baseball is rounders..girl's sport 😉
Djone Tan should be called egg hand
at least we don’t have cricket, cough cough
No.... American "football" is a girl's game, with all that body armour. Here our guys play rugby with at best a cup for the privates, all the rest is there to get busted, kicked, kneed, battered and busted some more. That's a real man's game. Your guys wouldn't last till half time playing in these conditions, they'd be away crying to their nice trainers because the nasty Brits got a bit physical.

You can tell I'm a massive Whovian as I spent the entire time admiring your t-shirt and recognising all the sonics that kept changing!
10 (25-15 +the glasses in 15), 11 (14-6 9- with closed prongs), 12 (5-1his later one as he used 11s for a while)
Thought I saw Wars the first time but must have been imagining things!
David Attenborough is a living legend. At least say his name correctly. Thank you.
David Hayes IKR it fucking annoys me 🤬
ikr americans can’t say anything right
Try listening to an American say Sainsbury's (Sains-berries) FYI its "Sains-brizz"
@Dave B - then there's orREGGano, rather than oreGAHno - but I can deal with that, it's just a question of which syllable is accentuated. But I can't deal with nuCULar, rather than nuclear. And aLOOMinum, rather than aluMINium.
YEAH, PITY HE HATES DEMOCRACY, UNLESS IT IS USED SOLEY BY THE ELITIST'S, LIKE HIM AND HIS BUDDY, RICHARD DORK--INGS
Make America Great Britain Again!
lol i would've agreed with you until i visited the uk. most shockingly bad two weeks of my entire life
Hey, I live in the UK.....the environment is so boring
+Darth clude Welcome to Essex.
Well up here in Scotland we have everything from bustling cities and quiet towns to rugged mountains and rolling hills. Shame the weather sucks.
HELL NO! FREEDOM! GUNS! WHISKEY! BACON! MCDONALDS!
There's nothing worse than people who don't have a good sense of humour it's good to have a laugh I absolutely love this UA-cam video what you've done as I'm sitting on the throne.
I dont have sugar in tea
UK housing stock is far superior in build quality, wooden houses are very rare. UK police are not racist. UK people know how to spell.
I'm not sure we know how to spell...
I`m quite a good speller , in-spite of the fact that that i spent my teens listening to Slade the group who invented texting.
masonwatcher Yeah but UK police are pussies
It wasnt UK police who said the Petagon was hit by a plane was it?
"ricegum" i see, i suppose because we dont have daily shootings in our streets by the police that makes us pussies? Fuck off kiddo
You totally watched Russel Howard's skit on Ebola coverage in the UK and US before making number 4
Squantle so true
Squantle watched it , loved it Russell is the best
I know I did.
Squantle yeah
Its practically a word to word quote
Nice Job😊
Nice video.
We have roadmen and tesco meal deals it isnt even a debate were better xD
Ciaran Gdus you dare forget co-op meal deals?
Getting a fuckin prawn and mayo butty, some flame grilled steak MCoys and a bottle of coke is why we are superior!
Yeooo up the Tesco meal deallsss
Not even just Tesco meal deals we have flipping Tesco itself
Ciaran Gdus ayyyyy
America didn't invent the internet.
Dian I agree that it was a collaborative effort and America played a rather important roll. Still saying "America invented the internet" is incorrect.
It can't be "correct and not correct" at the same time.
It's better to say America made a big contribution to the invention of the internet, or something along those lines.
Initial concepts of packet networking originated in several computer science laboratories in the United States, United Kingdom, and France.
When America developed TCP/IP they based their protocol in work that the French did before if I remember correctly.
From that point internet has evolved a lot and many countries have done contributions (I'm talking about technology not content in the web).
If we had to quantify how much America has contributed to the internet I would say that is around 35% and is the major contributor.
But when someone say America invented the internet that's a lie.
Dian
Yes I know you get it, but I don't know why it bothers me so much when someone receive credit they don't deserve like Graham Bell inventing the telephone, Thomas Edison the light bulb and America the internet among others.
or piza, hamburger, tv, airplanes
America invented its predecessor Arpanet which grew to be the Internet.
Make America Great Brittain again.
Lol good one
Sorry - can't make up for Scotland that might as well be out the door.
Hell no.
Awesome video! Brit here.
It's called football not soccer. Ffs. At we qualified for the World Cup.
sometimes we call it third world football
We didn't.. And I'm as British as you are.
Football to u is a game were u don't use your feet and the ball is an oval lmao btw I'm not really bothered I'm not a triggered American unlike u lol
@@mikebritcom3171 Don't ever call FOOTBALL a third world sport, it's the sport of the world. The USA, well with the 2nd amendment, you guys are in the third world.
Leeds leeds leeds
unlike American bathrooms a British bathroom can always be used to take a bath.
Without electrocuting oneself due to greater safety laws!
ok our tea isn’t small and lightly sweetened it’s a big old mug filled with tea and a bit of milk lol
This really made me chuckle. Great fun.
26. British people know where the USA is. Americans have no idea where UK is....or the difference between England and the UK XD
xD
That's because americans are uneducated and don't learn geography...
That's because of Americans narcacism. Anything not about America doesn't matter.
its because its an optional class you can take and not mandatory to graduate
Here in the Netherlands you learn that at elementary school.
Americans originate from Britain, just the b tec Brits
Same with the aussies and the kiwis they're just the English rejects xd
😂
I'm triggered I'm studying Btec
hosto or Scots who were forced out
Aussies are all English convicts. The Scots that got kicked out when searching round the world found some islands that were mountainous and rained all the time and they said "perfect, just like home!" and that became new Zealand.
Cool facts, absolutely loved them ..
Not only don't take a fence you'll ruin my garden.😂
1) Cheese rolling is at Cooper’s Hill, Gloucester (my home town), not Wick. (2) The British rock at just inventing sports: football, rugby, golf, cricket, tennis, badminton, squash... (3) Inventing things generally: the computer (Babbage), the tank (WW1), the Industrial Revolution. (4) Discovering stuff: natural selection, the laws of motion, vaccination. (5) Writing stuff: Shakespeare, Milton, Brontes, Austen, Dickens, Tolkien, CS Lewis, J K Rowling. (6) Philosophy: Locke, Mill, Hobbes.
@@charlesstuart7290 Base ball was invented by the British, it was originally called Rounders.
@@gravydavy4188s = their were various bat and ball games that were played both in the Colonies and in Britain in the 18th century with varying rules. Rounders, Cricket , and early versions of baseball derived from them - but baseball did not directly evolve from rounders - even though there are similarities to the present games. Their is a printed reference to "Basteball" in the the 1750's.-
Raise you The WORLD game of Football and need I say more, my friend lol @ @@charlesstuart7290
Not to quibble but wasn't tennis invented by the French?. There is new research that cricket was imported from Flanders. You can always fall back on football even though its played better in other places.
Scotish have golf.
The only bad thing about Britain is the weather and itv ads during films
I know right
have you ever been to the usa? there adds are 10 times worse
During films? Like in the theater? If you're talking about regular cable, then we have ads up the yin-yang.
lmao in USA they even put a load of ads on during the olympic ceremony brah... and in the middle of main sporting events. You know how you may watch football and get ads at the start, half time and end? Well in America when I was on holiday I was watching a channel that had ads every god damn 15 minutes
No, itv is a TV channel. We don't have adds in the theatre.
Wonderful !! :-)
I loved this video! I'm from the UK btw
The UK's voltage is 220v??? Really...i live here and can assure you it aint!! its 240v
I concur
Actually, it's neither. Officially it is 230V with tolerances of -6% and +10%. This gives a voltage range of 216.2 - 253V.
For the non-electricians out there...i just typed in uk mains voltage on google...the answert was 240v
+Adam Wooldridge I doubt there's much 240v still about. It was standardised at 220v by the EU. All new electrical goods were required to work at up to 240v at the same time for safe compatibility between countries. Hence appliances stating 240v still. 110v is less hazardous, why 110v transformers are used in the construction industry, but needs thicker wire for the same power.
ill get my coat..........
Hide and seek: King Richard III- 550 years
Jimmy Hoffa - must try harder.
Simon West weeeeyy
With Madeleine McCann in 2nd place
"Hide and seek: King Richard III"?...you mean Osama bin Laden
lmao his remains were found in my town under a car park lol
Excuse me? We’re sick at football! I didn’t see your country last year in the World Cup! 😂😂
the only uk/us comparison video that doesn't throw shade to the uk. BigUp
That's so sad that he had to do that disclaimer in the beginning. People are so fucking sensitive. That list is incredible.
David Attenborough is a god among men and you said his name wrong...
Ethan Cox Atten-BRUH!
He really isn't..
Possible the biggest difference mentioned here is in the price of quality food which I estimate to cost between twice and four times the price in the US to the UK, Wholefoods is not called whole Paycheque for nothing.
The way u say Attenborough gets me 😂😂😂
Also, we Brits drive on the correct side of the road, which has historical facts, btw.
Yes, the side of the rode you drive on determines your intelligence.
Nobody cares!
Doesn't matter which side of the road someone drives on, depends on the country... If anything us Brits drive on the wrong side.... Considering that the majority of nations drive on the other side :3
Of course it matters and the reason why is that it dates back to knights on horse back. They hold the hoses reigns in the weakest left hand and hold the sword or lance in the strongest right hand facing his opponent and vice-versa. It also applies using swords or daggers in foot combat. The English and a few other countries correctly and historically drive on the correct side of the road and the rest of the world drive on the wrong side. Even the Romans drove carts on the left too. Fact!
trancehi yeah
Most countries drive on the right
Tim Berners Lee invented the Internet and he is British!
The World Wide Web is not the internet, but yeah - he did
+Matthew Riley before what we call the modern internet was arpnet , but thats like saying who inverted radio inverted television.
+peter adshead I did
peter adshead I believe you're referring to what we used to call ARPANET. ;)
world wide web not the internet
As a Brit I love this. Losing at our sports 😂😂 plus roundabouts are great I kind of like them more than traffic lights. I feel the traffic flow keeps moving more.
Love the roundabouts within a roundabout. think the first of those was in Hemel Hempstead!! back in the early 70's.
The point about there being hardly any health care marketing here in the UK is so true, during a visit to New York in the summer I turned on the TV in the hotel room and it was just a mass of healthcare advertising. I was quite taken aback.
britain invented the world wide web
moxey 25 That would be the "www" for a web address. There are other protocols to get on the internet. The actual internet with hardware, computers, phone/cable lines, switches, etc......was invented in the U.S.A starting in the late 1960s by the U.S. military.
Yeah you are right.. but Britain invented the WWW, which everyone uses now... when was the last time you used ftp?
1950s
moxey25 America invented every sophoware application used to work with that
Αρίστος Δράμαλης Who's the 'ape'??? Any reason you have to be so angry and offensive??? You've attacked "moxey25" in a very aggressive manner, and for no good reason. Whether's he's correct or you're correct is irrelevant. Try showing a bit dignity. If you want to disagree with someone, rather than launch into an aggressive tirade try showing a bit decorum and self-respect!
26. We don't take credit for other countries inventions.
Good one Aimee.
Aimée Saoirse Flaherty who is that meant to be aimed at?
SO FUN MUCH DOGE Yanks.
Axis_Hawk not really. We're all British until Scotland decides on a referendum. Credit where credit is due.
Axis_Hawk Just like a Scot would call themselves a Scot, and would call an Englishman and Englishman. There's no difference. Of course you'd call them British, because they are until its decided otherwise - there's nothing offensive in it.
one more good thing is that when you go to school you dont have to worry about someone coming in with a gun.
