Lauren here 🇬🇧 some of you may be confused with my accent… I’m from a very small village near Liverpool (so I can easily impersonate the accent but I sound slightly more ‘posh’ in general). I also haven’t lived in the U.K. for the past 2 years and before that I lived in Nottingham for 4 years for uni! Hope that clears up any misunderstandings and please continue to show your support 💙
Your accent reminds me of my stepmother's, she was born in St. Albans (Wessex?), and moved to America when she was 18. Maybe it's softened a bit from hanging with Americans and Canadians. Anyway, it's very lovely, and friendly, and all that stuff. Actually, Cameron's accent isn't the normal Arkansas accent either, he might be from the western part, bordering Kansas, his accent sounds more mid-western. Wisconsin native here, we're a lot like Arkansas concerning most things, but we consume alcohol like the Germans, Irish, and British do. Even a small town in Wisconsin with 100-200 people will have at least a church and a bar, usually across the street from each other.
Even tho I’m British, I as watched previous episodes with you in them where you mentioned where you’re from, I was always wondering why you didn’t have a Liverpool accent.
For the most part, he is right about the food. We had curries long before we had fish and chips and fry-ups. However, that's not entirely the case. You absolutely can't go wrong with a traditional cream tea (unless you are being attacked by wasps in the tea garden, as was the case when I last had one. Leave my jam alone!).
I remember seeing how you guys got fried fish from Portuguese immigrants in the 1700's. It wasn't until that era that you guys got types of oils available that could come to a high enough heat to fry something. Actually, thinking of the dates, I think that the fried fish was just before you got curries, but the popularity wasn't quite high enough yet.
Honestly, when I think of “extremely polite and say sorry” a lot, I think of Canada, not Britain. Stereotypically, my image of Brits is more that they strictly follow the social niceties, but are kind of condescending, especially toward Americans. Similar to how those in the Southern US can “politely” say “bless your heart”, while actually meaning “you’re an idiot.” Again, stereotypically. Not as a rule. Lauren is perpetually charming .
As some one from the South, using saying "bless your heart" to insult some one is very much just a Dallas/Texas thing that doesn't exist in the actual South especially the Deep South. In the Deep South, it's used to genuinely show that you care about what some one is going through or to show pity about some one's circumstances. Only time it's not used genuinely is when you're joking with friends. Most people in the deep south would have zero issue just insult you straight out if they wanted to actually insult you. I mean Southerners generally aren't known to be passive about anything which is another reason why I don't understand why non-southerners believe the whole 'bless your heart' is actually an insult thing. Honestly, it's upsetting that it's still being spread around because so many non-southerners think it's true and then think we're insulting them when we're actually just showing genuine concern.
@@Persephoneia01 As a Southerner, it’s both. That’s kind of what gives it the zing, isn’t it? That you’re not always sure if someone is being kind or insulting you. 😂 I’ll agree that yes, the insulting version is more among friends. And among my generation, the kind version is more likely to be “bless it” than bless your heart. And I’d contend that, in my experience, Southerners are very passive aggressive. Sorry if that bit of my comment offended you; I wasn’t trying to perpetuate a false stereotype, just made an offhand comparison that rang true with my experience. 🙂
Canada inherited the British use of sorry as a social lubricant but abandoned use of the snide tone that Cameron referred to. We Canucks love sarcastic humour too but we don’t inject it into our everyday social interactions as much.
@@paranoidrodent I’ve visited Canada twice: one on a trip to Montreal/Quebec City and once to Victoria. Both trips were full of well-mannered, genuinely friendly people, so I’m inclined to believe you. :)
The whole 'bad teeth' slur directed at Brits is a stab at the NHS, who provide free dental care -but mostly not cosmetic (though you'll still get braces as a kid) -and whose dental association upholds dental health as premier before any looks. From dental data Brits actually have normally aligned / misaligned teeth as anywhere else (actually a shade better than the US in terms of referrals for misalignment). He's right though that super-white teeth is not common in the UK, and is actually seen as a bit fake eg the 'Jodie Marsh smile'. Big teeth whitening formula and ingredients are actually banned in the UK as they're dangerous/ detrimental to health, only the more gentle ones are allowed.
I agree. As a British Canadian American I/ve met many my age w/ poor dental care (to their own) Not willing to pay or scared of even if covered. Have you been to Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansa or the likes? I have. However, Even in the nicer big states of California, New York or Florida, it cost & many not willing to pay till recently due to social media. The fake new smile. A small, few natural good, it's good genes, others is bad diet. Too much sugars. A great number of dental dropped off when they had to pay. after 2008. Freddy Mercury of Queen was once interviewed on the telly, asked if that now you're rich & famous, don't you wanna get your teeth fixed? he replies, "I'm British, I don't wanna stand out" A little fun fact."
I think the UK deals with decay and not so much on cosmetic look like the US, but then in decay the UK is nearly the top of international league and the US is half way down this list as their country hasn't got NHS subsidised Dental work.
My theory about the teeth thing is that in Britain people with less than perfect teeth are on television a lot more than they are here in the US. And it's not just that you have celebrities like Jeremy Clarkson, a striking example was the first American attempt to remake the TGBBO, there was an older woman who had very obviously gotten veneers for the show who was eliminated the first week. We also have poor access to dentists, but everyone on television has perfect, white teeth.
Honorary mention 2 years later: The Queens Queue which reached a maximum of 10 miles and has its own Wikipedia page was one of the greatest spectacles to see this year.
I love british shows (includes GB bake off), exactly because they're so peaceful and friendly. It's so nice, i love it. Unfortunately. Russian television copies the style of the show from US television more than invents its own. And that's why (almost) all the shows look like a bunch of people yelling at each other. Or a bunch of people who are yelled at by the presenter, like in the army. For example, we have several variants of "Hell's Kitchen". Yes, several, one didn't seem enough to them)) Anyway, thanks for the video and your discussion. You're doing a good job of fighting silly stereotypes. (or, sometimes not silly, not all of them appeared from scratch))
Dude the avoiding confrontation thing confuses me as an American. I remember reading Harry Potter as a kid and thinking “why does Ron take all this shit from Malfoy?! Why doesn’t he punch him?!” And then I realized all the characters were British…
@@theparanoidandroid3583 Same here, but I'm Irish. I can't stand any kind of drama, violence, fighting, etc. I avoid watching shows and movies with that stuff in it. And I hate seeing all the bullying and fighting in American schools on tv, and the way other kids actually crowd around going "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" like it's a entertainment. I'd never want to talk to a person who I knew punched someone, yet in American shows, girls seem to like guys who get into physical fights...
Many of these stereotypes are taken for the Southern English. Putting this to a northerner is just as foreign to her, who are often used to seeing the polar opposite in public - honest, emotional, friendly etc.
I totally loved Cameron today. He is totally showing his real talent without laughing much...good that he spoke a way too casual compared to the start🤩
I would like that video if they had a black or non white American in it. It really feels like many of the American stereotypes come from white america . America isn’t a single homogenous society and shouldn’t be judged from that frame of mind
Here in the Midwestern US we do say “sorry” a lot. At least in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin (among others I’m sure), we say “Oop! Sorry!” all the time. Especially at the grocery store where you’re about to collide with another shopper’s shopping cart. It’s essentially an instinct here.
That entire segment was kinda off. If you unintentionally touch another person anywhere in america you’re apologizing lol otherwise there might be an issue lol. Americans take personal space in public with strangers very seriously
@@paradoxmo Yes, but you wouldn't call that southern Italy. That refers to the southern warmer half the peninsula. Sicily is its own thing, and Sicilians would be the first to say as much. haha
Traditional British food is a matter of personal tastes. As an American, I find their basic, everyday meals quite good. Here, it would fit into the category of "comfort food." There is small pub nearby called the Picadilly. it's always packed, and for good reason: No BS haute cuisine - just good traditional dishes from the UK, as well as American pub food like great burgers. No curries.
nil I'm from the uk traditional English food not many people actually eat I think a lot do but me and my family don't at all we eat all foods and we even add spices and herbs I know crazy for the uk
You’re correct a lot of traditional British food is based on comfort and class when people didn’t have a lot of food and had to ration it out they would just throw things together to make something simple but filling
All our food (like, food food not the beige platter) is rich and strong in flavours, not too dissimilar to Eastern European dishes where its hearty. Americans like spicy, we like umami. There's a part somewhere in the middle that satisfies both
@@irishwristwatch2487 I like the term "savory" when describing the British foods that I've had. My mother was an Austrian and a fantasic cook. I grew up on Austro-Hungarian food, which I also describe as savory. No hot spicey stuff for me. Mom always said that hot spices cover bad cooking. She was as opinionated as her cooking was good.
@@OutnBacker savoury is probably a good way to describe it tbf, we do like our savoury stuff! I cant say Ive tried Austro-Hungarian stuff but there is a Polish shop near me (Well, the sign says Polish shop but its essentially catering to anywhere east of Belgium) and theyve got so much nice stuff in there. I have no idea what half of it is but its so damn good haha. Any dishes I should look out for?
While everywhere has its definitive accent that isn't just a stereotype, we really do have a ridiculous soup of accents that blend into one another in tiny amounts of spaces. I've lived in Portsmouth my entire life, and somebody recently asked where I had come from to go Portsmouth Uni. I told him that I live here, he had the nerve to tell me that I was lying(!) and when I asked where he thought I had come from, he couldn't even put a finger on it.
she said in a comment that she’s from a small town near liverpool, lived in nottingham for 4 years because of university and now lives abroad and has many american/international friends, so her accent has changed to an extent.
The American teeth thing is only half true. Not everyone gets braces/whitening, only people who can afford it. The thing that most people don't know is that, If you pay attention, you can usually tell someones social class in America just by looking at their teeth.
What? No! He’s the opposite especially about the drinking thing. Ive lived in Flippin and Little Rock He must a lived in some isolated part of Arkansas because yeah you could say it’s very religious but alcohol is so not a hush-hush topic. Not even when I was a kid. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a grown man’s right palm until I was 18 😂😂😂😂😂 And Cameron is so overly awkward and quick to self deprecate and I feel like he’s restraining an overwhelming sense of woke-ness. It is really offputting
About the teeth thing. IIRC, the practice of adding sodium fluoride to water was started by Alcoa (ALuminum Corporation Of America) as a way to use sodium fluoride biproducts produced by processing Aluminum. So the practice of fluoridating water would have started in the US a decent amount of time before it started in the UK. So our tap water helps remineralize our teeth. Probably helps make up for the all the sugar in our food. In fact, I would bet that the sugar industry had something to do with this as well. Kinda like McDonalds sponsoring athletic events to shift the blame of obesity to physical activity more than diet. They started this practice after a study came out showing diet has a much larger effect on weight than physical activity.
I'd be interested to know how many English learners have sort of moved away from a specific interest in British or American or other native speakers' culture and have turned their relation with the English language into one of international interaction - no matter where they are from. What language would have a Greek, a Danish, an Indonesian and an Argentinian in common? Most likely English.
I work at a retail store in Minnesota and we have a line to get in on busy days due to a capacity limit. SO MANY PEOPLE will go straight to the front and walk in without waiting, but will be stopped and told there's a line. They'll say they didn't know.
Haha Lauren I open the champagne on Christmas Day earlier still 😉 As a Cumbrian you don't sound like the type of northerner I've been around, but I do appreciate all of your answers as usual.
As a American Pakistani when I went to the UK I saw no one wearing a mask in stores and that shocked me because here in the usa we have to wear our masks in stores or else we can't enter the stores
Adding onto the queues thing.. where he said you could get arrested for cutting in a queue in the UK.. he's not far off. Section 1 of the Railway Byelaws 2005 makes it illegal to cut in a queue or to not queue properly in or around railway property (train stations etc) and it's punishable by a Level 3 Fixed Penalty Notice (which is maximum of £1000). So that just goes to show how seriously we automatically take queueing, for it to be the very first section on a fairly important piece of legislation.
@@paulj7736 if you're bake it the British way that means leaving certain ingredients out unless you can make your own flour or get British flour. If you put chip 🍟 buty or fries to people in usa on usa bread. It isn't going to taste same due to the amount of sugar in your American breads
Bad food definitely used to be true for most of last century. Typically people boiled their food and didn’t season so it was all tasteless and bland. Today though we have some of the best cuisine out there that has been influenced from around the world as well as improvements to tasty traditional dishes
Seriously though I mean we have some terrible food that's for certain, but there's so much incredible food And like they said in the video, if anything it's overall more comfort food, nothing outstanding but something really tasty and nice to eat
😅What? I lived in London for a year but never saw a queue at a bus stop. Everybody just sat or stood loosely around. (There weren't many people waiting.)
Growing up in the U.S. we had Monty Python, Benny Hill and others so we were exposed to different British accents well before BBC America. Blame the bad teeth rap on Austin Powers 😂
I like when Brits sarcastically say "sorry about it" lol Also I think the dude is waaaaayyy off with alcohol. He was talking about where he is from but most places in the US will have a lot of people who drink like brits. The way he was speaking about the braces made it sound like if you have crooked teeth, you just go and get them. Braces are very expensive and a lot of people cannot afford them. Unless it is medically necessary, the only people who get braces for cosmetic reasons are well off. And even some of them will not get them if it is only cosmetic.
In the alcohol segment all I can think of is Roy from I.T. Crowd saying " When did the English start to drink like that; you drink like you don't want to live!". This from an Irishman, so it must be rough!
OH QUE, Haha Yeah try getting on any MBTA Bus on Haymarket in Boston and you'll absolutely LOSE YOUR GOD DAMN MIND! It goes from a que to literally a free-for-all bull rush for the door. Lol It goes from a que to a giant cluster of people.
me thinking：next time in private，he brings a loaf of bread some butter and some chips in front of her. she‘s like：you still remember that？it‘s so nice of u.：）
That reaction when he says Britain stole all the food traditions from everyone else is legit so hysterically spot on/funny. Lmfao It's like , "....Mmmm..Yeah that's true. He get us there."
Here in Serbia, every other day some eldery is pretending they didnt see the half of the queue and just stand next to someone near the front of the queue. Its disgusting honestly, especially because most of the times we let them go before us if they are behind, just like people with small kids.
The thing with bad teeth is that the NHS will only give you braces if it’s a medical issue. If there’s nothing wrong and you just want them to look nicer then the NHS won’t cover it because it’s a cosmetic issue not a medical one. Similar to how the NHS won’t pay for you to get plastic surgery unless it’s part of a recovery from an injury and even then it’s not often. In my case I got braces but it wasn’t medical so the NHS didn’t pay for them and my parents had to pay out of pocket. It was really expensive so it’s not surprising that people would choose not to or maybe not even consider it in the first place.
I have a co-worker who's Canadian by birth (I work in Minnesota). I told her about their pronunciation of the word "sorry" and she seemed confused. A minute later she bumped into a co-worker and said "sorry" the way I described it. Plus their pronunciation sounds like they REALLY mean it.
I surprise to know about INDIANS ,indian proud to speaking so many language they don't stuck in only one language . average indian people speaks atleast three language. This is unique no other than india speaking multiple language in one nation .
I'm not surprised. I lived in London for six weeks and more than three decades in America. I don't remember seeing any people with bad teeth in London or other parts of England, but I see PLENTY of Americans with bad teeth. They don't floss, they don't brush enough. I take pride in brushing two or three times a day and flossing twice a day.
@@Criner05Yeah unfortunately yes, we have a lot of those. But we also have a lot of men who like to fight (me). It's a part of being a man (in the USA) for better or worse.
When I was in Asia almost everyone thought I was Irish, not American, and I think it might have been because I am sort of quite and don't have 'the American Smile' as I never had braces and my teeth were never whitened.
I'm from Ireland which is right next to the UK and even I was shocked by the queuing, and the standing on the left side of escalators. It's crazy how we're the two closest countries to each other but there are so many differences.
0:18 sounds immensely posh. 0:57 british still sounds sophisticated. 2:45 easy breezy. 3:20 a very hush hush topic 6:18 downplay everything. don't open mouth. 6:47 it's not the best. it's not my favorite. －－－－－ 5:25 don't show emotion. geographical determinism. the shape and size of a country. there's a certain amount of decorum禮儀 that you have to follow so you don't go all insane on the island. When you show deference to someone, you make a gesture of respect. 6:52 hate confrontation. 7:26 it's not about beating other but improving yourself.
Singaporeans are the best queuers, everytime they see a long queue, they just queue first, they don't even ask when the queue is about until they're halfway down the the queue
Gotta say that as someone who's from the Midwest, the alcohol culture of the south really threw me off. I understand the religious aspect of the Bible Belt but I still figured people would have fun when it's time to have fun!
🇬🇧 If you eat in touristy places, you aren’t going to sample the best food, quite the reverse. You need to make an effort and travel away from the hotspots for decent grub or pubs. When we visit anywhere new, in the UK or abroad, we always ask the locals to recommend places to eat and drink, and this has always worked out for us.
Lauren I'm here from the uk and I can say you sound posh. I can't place your accent but if you're from near Liverpool you definitely sound posh comparatively.
Not sure if you guys have done it before but it would be cool to have a group try the different foods from the countries the other people are from. Like what exactly is mushy peas

I live in the US. One thing I hate about people is that sometimes when you say thank you they say uh-huh instead of your welcome.
Interesting series,
keep it going.
As individuals us Brits hate confrontation. But we are one of, if not, the most war-loving nations in history, and still are.
Well we were
We aren’t anymore unless your in army
@@-M0LE Maybe. But some people who are Brits are still seem very Hawkly and warlike to me.
As a Brit I always think "that Cameron guy is really knowledgeable" when I watch him in videos
Traditional British food is a matter of personal tastes. As an American, I find their basic, everyday meals quite good. Here, it would fit into the category of "comfort food." There is small pub nearby called the Picadilly. it's always packed, and for good reason: No BS haute cuisine - just good traditional dishes from the UK, as well as American pub food like great burgers. No curries.
nil I'm from the uk traditional English food not many people actually eat I think a lot do but me and my family don't at all we eat all foods and we even add spices and herbs I know crazy for the uk
You’re correct a lot of traditional British food is based on comfort and class when people didn’t have a lot of food and had to ration it out they would just throw things together to make something simple but filling
All our food (like, food food not the beige platter) is rich and strong in flavours, not too dissimilar to Eastern European dishes where its hearty. Americans like spicy, we like umami. There's a part somewhere in the middle that satisfies both
@@irishwristwatch2487 I like the term "savory" when describing the British foods that I've had. My mother was an Austrian and a fantasic cook. I grew up on Austro-Hungarian food, which I also describe as savory. No hot spicey stuff for me. Mom always said that hot spices cover bad cooking. She was as opinionated as her cooking was good.
@@OutnBacker savoury is probably a good way to describe it tbf, we do like our savoury stuff! I cant say Ive tried Austro-Hungarian stuff but there is a Polish shop near me (Well, the sign says Polish shop but its essentially catering to anywhere east of Belgium) and theyve got so much nice stuff in there. I have no idea what half of it is but its so damn good haha. Any dishes I should look out for?
Really like your presentations! Good music also; not many have that, so it's something special. Many thanks and keep it up!
Cameron and Lauren are the best and funniest!
this year has made me understand why england and portugal get along so well
I think, Camilla is the stereotypical Brit when it comes to teeth. 32 teeth, all in the maxilla... :-D
She doesn't sound like she's from the North West of England. She speaks with a southern accent but her vowel usage sounds Northern.
While everywhere has its definitive accent that isn't just a stereotype, we really do have a ridiculous soup of accents that blend into one another in tiny amounts of spaces. I've lived in Portsmouth my entire life, and somebody recently asked where I had come from to go Portsmouth Uni. I told him that I live here, he had the nerve to tell me that I was lying(!) and when I asked where he thought I had come from, he couldn't even put a finger on it.
She speaks posh she said she drinks champagne at xmas so she is from a rich family where local accents don’t stick
Listen closely, there is a bit of Scouse in there.
@@-M0LE every social class drinks in the U.K., rich ,poor , middle class, how do you think we put up with the weather.
she said in a comment that she’s from a small town near liverpool, lived in nottingham for 4 years because of university and now lives abroad and has many american/international friends, so her accent has changed to an extent.
The American teeth thing is only half true. Not everyone gets braces/whitening, only people who can afford it. The thing that most people don't know is that, If you pay attention, you can usually tell someones social class in America just by looking at their teeth.
we like other peoples confrontations, not our own.we like seeing other people having a bad day at work, not ourselves
He's a pretty decent rep for American, I must say. Definitely invite him more often.
What? No! He’s the opposite especially about the drinking thing. Ive lived in Flippin and Little Rock He must a lived in some isolated part of Arkansas because yeah you could say it’s very religious but alcohol is so not a hush-hush topic. Not even when I was a kid. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a grown man’s right palm until I was 18 😂😂😂😂😂
And Cameron is so overly awkward and quick to self deprecate and I feel like he’s restraining an overwhelming sense of woke-ness. It is really offputting
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 oh good I thought it was the only one😮💨 yeah he’s really awkward and clearly doesn’t know what he’s doing
Lauren didn’t deny anything. 😂
About the teeth thing. IIRC, the practice of adding sodium fluoride to water was started by Alcoa (ALuminum Corporation Of America) as a way to use sodium fluoride biproducts produced by processing Aluminum. So the practice of fluoridating water would have started in the US a decent amount of time before it started in the UK. So our tap water helps remineralize our teeth.
Probably helps make up for the all the sugar in our food. In fact, I would bet that the sugar industry had something to do with this as well. Kinda like McDonalds sponsoring athletic events to shift the blame of obesity to physical activity more than diet. They started this practice after a study came out showing diet has a much larger effect on weight than physical activity.
I'd be interested to know how many English learners have sort of moved away from a specific interest in British or American or other native speakers' culture and have turned their relation with the English language into one of international interaction - no matter where they are from. What language would have a Greek, a Danish, an Indonesian and an Argentinian in common? Most likely English.
OMG He's from Arkansas! Fellow Arkansan! Go Razorbacks! (Watch, he probably likes Bama. lol)
He gives me the vibe that he's not really a sports fan.
I worked at an airport in the US. Getting ppl to line up properly was like herding cats 😂
I work at a retail store in Minnesota and we have a line to get in on busy days due to a capacity limit. SO MANY PEOPLE will go straight to the front and walk in without waiting, but will be stopped and told there's a line. They'll say they didn't know.
Britain: We queue
U.S.: We scrum.
*jam 'get in there!' Out theway! There's room for ME, if you shove over!'
British people don't like confrontation, and then there is Gordon Ramsey... 😅
As someone from the north of England I have to say that you do sound posh Lauren aha
Haha Lauren I open the champagne on Christmas Day earlier still 😉 As a Cumbrian you don't sound like the type of northerner I've been around, but I do appreciate all of your answers as usual.
She’s from near Liverpool her accent just got neutralised from uni etc
As a American Pakistani when I went to the UK I saw no one wearing a mask in stores and that shocked me because here in the usa we have to wear our masks in stores or else we can't enter the stores
Adding onto the queues thing.. where he said you could get arrested for cutting in a queue in the UK.. he's not far off. Section 1 of the Railway Byelaws 2005 makes it illegal to cut in a queue or to not queue properly in or around railway property (train stations etc) and it's punishable by a Level 3 Fixed Penalty Notice (which is maximum of £1000). So that just goes to show how seriously we automatically take queueing, for it to be the very first section on a fairly important piece of legislation.
I have to say that in Europe we are mostly taught British English. The accent is beautiful. American English is taught for negotiation purposes only.
As a Canadian, these hilariously informative. We're stuck in the middle
Did Lauren realise she gave out the recipe for a chip butty?
Nothing wrong with that but if you live in the USA I would highly suggest you get bread from British section
@@NicholasJH96 or DIY and use your own freshly baked bread? Unless the ingredients are suboptimal as well.
@@paulj7736 if you're bake it the British way that means leaving certain ingredients out unless you can make your own flour or get British flour. If you put chip 🍟 buty or fries to people in usa on usa bread. It isn't going to taste same due to the amount of sugar in your American breads
Bad food definitely used to be true for most of last century. Typically people boiled their food and didn’t season so it was all tasteless and bland. Today though we have some of the best cuisine out there that has been influenced from around the world as well as improvements to tasty traditional dishes
Seriously though
I mean we have some terrible food that's for certain, but there's so much incredible food
And like they said in the video, if anything it's overall more comfort food, nothing outstanding but something really tasty and nice to eat
8:32 He had me on the floor with his expression and tone. I can' t breathe I need Jesus!!!!!! Bring my coffin
Yo, he's from Arkansas?? Let's go, represent!!!
😅What? I lived in London for a year but never saw a queue at a bus stop. Everybody just sat or stood loosely around. (There weren't many people waiting.)
Growing up in the U.S. we had Monty Python, Benny Hill and others so we were exposed to different British accents well before BBC America. Blame the bad teeth rap on Austin Powers 😂
You could also blame the bad teeth on King Charles when he was younger.
I like when Brits sarcastically say "sorry about it" lol
Also I think the dude is waaaaayyy off with alcohol. He was talking about where he is from but most places in the US will have a lot of people who drink like brits. The way he was speaking about the braces made it sound like if you have crooked teeth, you just go and get them. Braces are very expensive and a lot of people cannot afford them. Unless it is medically necessary, the only people who get braces for cosmetic reasons are well off. And even some of them will not get them if it is only cosmetic.
In the alcohol segment all I can think of is Roy from I.T. Crowd saying " When did the English start to drink like that; you drink like you don't want to live!". This from an Irishman, so it must be rough!
OH QUE, Haha Yeah try getting on any MBTA Bus on Haymarket in Boston and you'll absolutely LOSE YOUR GOD DAMN MIND! It goes from a que to literally a free-for-all bull rush for the door. Lol It goes from a que to a giant cluster of people.
Brilliant fun video Cameron m8. To be fair, we share mush more the the modern English. From Regina, Saskatchewan, or Jamestown, Virgoan, US. (:
OMG, British people seems so civilized to Americans.
That's a stereotype I'm surprised wasn't covered.
Awesome! Do more of these...please
The reason for the stereotype of Brits having bad teeth is because they are stained from all the tea they drink. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
All those yummy tannins 🤣
me thinking：next time in private，he brings a loaf of bread some butter and some chips in front of her.
she‘s like：you still remember that？it‘s so nice of u.：）
That reaction when he says Britain stole all the food traditions from everyone else is legit so hysterically spot on/funny. Lmfao It's like , "....Mmmm..Yeah that's true. He get us there."
I have Yaeba and I'm proud of it XD
Here in Serbia, every other day some eldery is pretending they didnt see the half of the queue and just stand next to someone near the front of the queue. Its disgusting honestly, especially because most of the times we let them go before us if they are behind, just like people with small kids.
The thing with bad teeth is that the NHS will only give you braces if it’s a medical issue. If there’s nothing wrong and you just want them to look nicer then the NHS won’t cover it because it’s a cosmetic issue not a medical one. Similar to how the NHS won’t pay for you to get plastic surgery unless it’s part of a recovery from an injury and even then it’s not often. In my case I got braces but it wasn’t medical so the NHS didn’t pay for them and my parents had to pay out of pocket. It was really expensive so it’s not surprising that people would choose not to or maybe not even consider it in the first place.
British say sorry too much.
Canadians: "Hold my syrup..."
I have a co-worker who's Canadian by birth (I work in Minnesota). I told her about their pronunciation of the word "sorry" and she seemed confused. A minute later she bumped into a co-worker and said "sorry" the way I described it. Plus their pronunciation sounds like they REALLY mean it.
I surprise to know about INDIANS ,indian proud to speaking so many language they don't stuck in only one language . average indian people speaks atleast three language.
This is unique no other than india speaking multiple language in one nation .
British teeth are ranked healthier than american teeth
Still crooked
I'm not surprised. I lived in London for six weeks and more than three decades in America. I don't remember seeing any people with bad teeth in London or other parts of England, but I see PLENTY of Americans with bad teeth. They don't floss, they don't brush enough. I take pride in brushing two or three times a day and flossing twice a day.
Bring back those countries 🇨🇵🇩🇪🇪🇦
As an American, we love confrontation lol
Nobody loves a confrontation more than a Karen.
@@Criner05Yeah unfortunately yes, we have a lot of those. But we also have a lot of men who like to fight (me). It's a part of being a man (in the USA) for better or worse.
The alcohol usage is definitely regional for the US. There are def some regions of the US that drink as much as the Brits.
Fact
British people have the 4th best teeth in the world
Man really puts into perspective what them Americans think of us
"British people are undoubtedly the best queuers in the world"--- *Japan has entered the chat*
When I was in Asia almost everyone thought I was Irish, not American, and I think it might have been because I am sort of quite and don't have 'the American Smile' as I never had braces and my teeth were never whitened.
The Liverpool accent is my favorite maybe because the Beatles were from there
As a British person, she definitely sounds posh..
That is a cool jacket he is wearing
i thought the uk loved a good queue until i moved to hong kong… ever queued for an escalator hahahh
We do that in the uk
We do that in the us unless it’s kids or “cool college dudes” or whatever
I'm from Ireland which is right next to the UK and even I was shocked by the queuing, and the standing on the left side of escalators. It's crazy how we're the two closest countries to each other but there are so many differences.
@@abbiereynolds8016 i mean ireland has a lot of queuing too
@@jamiebutterworth3576 True, but not to the same extent.
I’m surprised they didn’t cover the tea stereotype
0:18 sounds immensely posh.
0:57 british still sounds sophisticated.
2:45 easy breezy.
3:20 a very hush hush topic
6:18 downplay everything. don't open mouth.
6:47 it's not the best. it's not my favorite.
－－－－－
5:25 don't show emotion.
geographical determinism. the shape and size of a country.
there's a certain amount of decorum禮儀 that you have to follow so you don't go all insane on the island.
When you show deference to someone, you make a gesture of respect.
6:52 hate confrontation.
7:26 it's not about beating other but improving yourself.
Lauren rules👍👏 funny and great🥰
Singaporeans are the best queuers, everytime they see a long queue, they just queue first, they don't even ask when the queue is about until they're halfway down the the queue
Gotta say that as someone who's from the Midwest, the alcohol culture of the south really threw me off. I understand the religious aspect of the Bible Belt but I still figured people would have fun when it's time to have fun!
Yeah the alcohol thing is nuts. If you have 2 alcoholic drinks daily in America you're an alcoholic. In Europe, that's normal. It's ridiculous
Two drinks is an exaggeration but yeah if you’re drinking at 10 am we are going to think you’re an alcoholic.
Q, What's the opposite of a near queue?
A, A far Queue...lol
🇬🇧 If you eat in touristy places, you aren’t going to sample the best food, quite the reverse. You need to make an effort and travel away from the hotspots for decent grub or pubs. When we visit anywhere new, in the UK or abroad, we always ask the locals to recommend places to eat and drink, and this has always worked out for us.
Where do Americans get the led lights to fit in their teeth? How do they hide the batteries?
I love british accent 🥰🥰
Lauren I'm here from the uk and I can say you sound posh. I can't place your accent but if you're from near Liverpool you definitely sound posh comparatively.
I'm American, and I relate to British Stereotypes more.
Not sure if you guys have done it before but it would be cool to have a group try the different foods from the countries the other people are from. Like what exactly is mushy peas
Great video, I loved it!
The cat has got on the piano again, can you stop her because I can't concentrate!
Must be all those limes we eat.
I wasn’t very clear there. That was in reply to “Brits have bad teeth”.
The american: "British food is terrible... That's not true"
*The toast sandwich exsists*
Lovely videos!!!!
Queueing orderly. I think the Japanese may have a competition on that throne. After all that is the country of extreme collectivism and manners.
