American Reacts to What Europeans Really Think About Americans

- As an American I am somewhat aware of the image we have internationally, so today I am both excited and nervous to learn about what Europeans really think about Americans. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
“But why do people think Americans are loud?” asks Tyler, while bellowing at the camera at high volume! 😆 We can hear you, Tyler, there’s no need to shout! 🙂
Exactly my thought and the vid was more off than on at that point. 🤣
You’re right! Tyler is loud! 🇦🇺😳
It's the voice configuration. Are you calling across the field to Cousin Cletus, or using your "Indoor Voice"?
The ads are even louder
I always have to reduce the sound when listening to Tyler !
When we say Americans are loud it generally means your voice, when majority of Americans speak they are speaking louder than most, really projecting their voices. Which when in public makes Americans really stand out. Say if you're in a Pub and there's Americans in there, you'll hear them speaking over everyone else.
I saw an American couple reacting to a video like this. Where people’s opinions of Americans were that they were loud, and will just butt into people’s conversations.
Basically the American guy tried to justify it as just being friendly. He said if he went into a pub in the UK. He would want to announce his arrival. Saying he would walk in and say “HELLO, HOWS EVERYONE DOING. THIS LOOKS LIKE A GREAT PLACE”.
To me that would come off as obnoxious. Like they think they’re special and everyone should pay attention to them.
To you as an American living in America you won't notice how loud you all are, because your all at the same volume. An Americans quiet/normal 'indoor' voice is our 'outdoor' voice.
😂😂😂🏴❤️🌎🇺🇸
They have to make sure everyone knows they are American and therefore they are special and their opinions are always correct..
Every American I have ever seen, walked passed, met, all over the world, talk with I don't know how many dB louder than everyone else! They are a LOUD people for sure.
WHAT?? I'M SCOTTISH, WE DEFINITELY DON'T SHOUT EITHER!!!! Stop you America bashing nonsense. We definitely are loud in situations like any other human being
@@insidiousbeatz48 I'm not sure how saying Americans talking voice is louder than most other countries is "Bashing". Did I say it was a bad thing? No! it was an observation not a criticism. There are way more things I could bash America about than their volume.
Who's going to break it to Tyler... I turn down the volume at the start of his video.😂
I love Tyler's loud voice
I'm deaf got a new cochlear implant I can now hear some of the videos not everybody but I can hear everybody of Tyler's. Count your blessings y can hear and don't complain about Tyler's voice
LOUD. Let me explain i was in Maastricht, sat in a restaurant and an American man was red faced and screeming he'd been sat for 10 minutes and he hadn't received a menu. Their drinks arrived @ 11 mins. We have a totally different tradition for eating here, we take our time. The american family still weren't happy and demanded to see the manager " I am an American". The waiter said i am the owner and asked them to leave. They knocked their drinks to the ground and walked off. Because we were sat in a square where all the restaurants had pavemant tables the other establishments saw what had happened and none would let them sit.
ahha great, just block them yes oh yes.
Just rude .
The gun thing is a big deal , there have been at least 200 mass shootings in America so far just in 2023. In the UK we have had 8 since the year 2000.
It is from the psych meds Americans are prescribed for profit.
I think the fact that Americans are rather loud in restaurants so that everyone can hear them has encouraged the loud American image. Raising your voice in a restaurant in the UK is considered rather rude as it cuts across the conversations of other diners. We speak in voices designed only to be heard at our own table.
Having worked in London for many years I've come across thousands of tourists including Americans. I found with Americans that they're either really really nice or absolutely awful. You mentioned that they can be opinionated - I remember the time an elderly American couple were looking for a particular shop in the Haymarket they remembered from years before. They stopped me and asked if I knew the shop; I told them I knew the Haymarket very well but knew the shop they were looking for was not in that road. The old man was insistent and very rude and had the cheek to tell me I did not know my own city. So I pointed them in the direction of the Haymarket and told him "Good luck with that!" and walked off. However, don't fret about it too much. The French are far ruder.
But i think the french are rude just because they like to be rude, its kinda like british people beeing sarcatic maybe or whatever, while the americans are just rude out of ignorance and thinking they are superior.
Of course beeing sarcastic in the end also is thinking that you are more intelligent, but it has more style maybe then just beeing a dumb bully,
You do not drink beer. you drink budweiser.
As a student we called American beer, breakfast beer.
a group of exchange students in the UK from the states having been here for many months had their parents come over for a brief visit. They were embarrassed at how loud they were.
When we say you're loud we mean you're loud. I remember I was at a zoo in England and I could hear these very loud American accents sounded like someone shouting and my dad said oh here come the Americans you can always hear them before you see them, which in this case was true not saying that's a bad thing just that it seems like your normal level of talking volume is our level of shouting volume.
Just stayed for a week in the US with my American colleagues...could hear them from anywhere in the house haha...definitely louder than we are!
I was in a cafe in a garden centre in the UK, in walked an elderly American couple, with New York city accents, their voices rang out at 100 decibels louder than anyone else!
I do worry about you Tyler. You eat lots of fast food and you don’t walk anywhere. When you get to my age, you will wish you had looked after yourself like I wish I had taken my health more seriously.
I have two American friends who are so loud! They really do not know how loud they are. They very often embarrass me with their loudness.
🤣🤣🤣🏴
I think the American dream is based on the American misconception that only America has freedoms.
Even Tyler’s opinion that America is better for a starting business.
I’m in the UK and self employed with my own business. I quit my 9-5 job, and registered myself as self employed and the name of my business.
I had absolutely no concerns about losing my health insurance from quitting my job. No worries about how I was going to pay for my families healthcare when I was starting up.
On top of that I received state assistance when I was not making much profit, as I was spending my personal savings to fund the business. That was 10 years ago.
Overall starting a business in the UK was very easy. Although it’s not easy to make a successful business.
Tyler's defiantly got a blinkered view. The number of 'Start-ups' in the US that fail is ridiculous and most of them are then in debt for many years to come.
@@Thurgosh_OG Healthcare costs a major factor why many small family businesses fail in the US.
The average cost of health insurance in the US is $560 a month. That’s an awful lot of money to have to cover when starting up a small business. And it’s a cost I just didn’t have.
It’s $140 a week extra profit just to cover healthcare. On average start up businesses don’t make much profit in the first 4 years, because most of the money is reinvested.
Many Americans go without insurance to focus the money on reinvesting into their business. But it’s a big gamble as any illness or accident in the family, and you could go bankrupt.
It’s just not a great way to start a business. I guess big businesses do better in the US. With American CEO’s making 300 times more money than their average employee. While in the UK CEO’s make around 30 times more.
@@Thurgosh_OG after a quick google search. The UK’s start up success rate is 50% more than the US’s.
The UK’s start up success rate is on par with Hong Kong and Singapore.
While the US’s closer (but slightly higher) to South Africa’s start up success rate.
Its more about not having an aristocracy in official parlance, but that's just BS. We have an aristocracy, just not titles.
Americans are so far behind the rest of the world in so many ways, but they cant accept that !
The American dream "you have to be asleep to believe it" George Carlin
Factually the US has tonnes of mass shootings, whereas the UK has had something like 40 since records began or and like 5 since 1997 its insane.
Not as many as 40! American police kill American citizens all the time, whereas the no. in the UK i s
tiny, like 3 in 2 years !
I went to New York,literally just after 911. People were friendly in general, but loud!👂👂👀😂The only unfriendly one I came across was a office worker, who I just asked for directions and did not want to help. But the receptionist working in the hotel I stayed in,couldn’t have been nicer. Couldn’t believe it when he said he had friends in Cymru(Wales) UK. He even had a book about it behind the counter. Talk about meant to be! Found an old diner and they were lovely and welcoming in there and also in the smaller shops. Great memory! It would have been nice if we could have Cymru’s (Wales) points of view in the video though,instead of just English every time. Gan geneth Cymraes. ( From a Welsh girl) 🏴❤️🌎🇺🇸 0:02
When you said “openness”, I nearly choked on my food. I observed a huge part of Americans (not everyone) is rather conservative as well as limited and stuck in their views and “ways”.
Other stereotypes I know of are: lack of self-reflection in their mindset and views, but also in their behaviour which often goes hand in hand with some amount of ignorance towards others (which is also A reason for being so loud); being superficial especially in the social setting; OVERLY patriotic tending towards glorifying & ignorance; overly focused on guns; to place way too much importance on their social status (especially regarding wearing/ owning designer or brand items); being selfish and often showing no consideration / having no regards for others; easy to build [not deep] friendships; being way more flexible regarding their time and planning , being optimistic and in a good mood; enthusiasm; action-oriented, being easy-going, …
Please don‘t come for me - I am not against Americans! I am actually married to one.
I've only ever dealt with Americans as tourists, and they are louder than most other nationalities. They are also a little more 'entitled' and seem to think their dollar should buy awe and respect. Most are great until they don't get what they want IMMEDIATELY. That's when they can get even louder and become somewhat obnoxious. Not all of them are like this, but unfortunately enough to create a stereotype.
I think culturally everyone is subconsiously taught how to use your voice in company. I think in the UK and evidently other european cultures there is more expectation that you reserve your full volume for hanging out with your mates, and everywhere else is about 25% on the way to being a library, like in a restaurant. You keep it down, keep it personal, and dont broadcast your shit to the next table, because everyone is there doing their own thing, and its not about you.
I often wonder how American men tolerate the high pitched nasal voices of American women !
@@marycarver1542 ouch, hahaha but so true.
I think the "Loud" is due to at least some American Tourists thinking they will be understood if they speak US English Loudly & Slowly.
I live near RAF Mildenhall and most of my neighbours are US Military. The officers, who are older and mature, are very nice and my husband and I, plus the boys when they were at home, were welcomed into their houses for dinner. They were a bit religious but live and let live. Now the officers have mostly left for the new settlement of Red Lodge or live behind the wire in the Lakenheath compound. What’s replaced then is a bunch of squaddies, who are young, loud and let their kids scream in the street.
I spent years working with tourists in Scotland, and I would say that the majority were American and Japanese, although we also got travellers from throughout Europe and Australia and New Zealand as well. Like all of the other nationalities, they were a real mixture of personalities. I do get the 'loudness' thing though - it wasn't so much that they spoke loudly, they just seemed to be bigger (ie built on a bigger scale, not necessarily fat) and more noticeable. The sites I worked at in the city of Stirling attracted an huge number of visitors who had watched Braveheart and they DID put a lot of faith in it (although so did many Scots) plus there were always Americans who had the surname Bruce or Wallace and genuinely believed that they were descended from one of them - no evidence, it was just a family tale, based on the name. I found many Americans to be polite, genuinely interested in our history and appreciative of Scotland's natural beauty, though. I do remember some rude tourists, but they were not all American!/🤣. To be honest, I think there's a degree to which all of our brains stop working fully when we go to a strange place and we all do and say idiotic things, but for some reason, the lady I always remember complained to me angrily because 'the rain spoiled her visit.' I'm not sure what any of us were supposed to do about that, but rest assured she was not American...😆. The one thing that only Americans seemed to struggle with was the fact that it takes a few days to travel around Scotland, you are not going to see everything in an afternoon, you need to spend a bit of time here and when you do visit a place, there may. be a lot to see and that takes time. Some Americans just seemed to want to tick places of a list rather than actually stop and enjoy them, they were in a hurry to get to the next 'must see' destination, and they had no idea that it was 150 miles away and they couldn't go there and be back at their hotel in time for the evening meal! They just assumed the country was a lot smaller than it is and everywhere was within an hour's drive.
Have you looked at the English comedian, Harry Enfield's, stereotypical take on older American tourists visiting the UK? Might be worth a look? Most find it very funny.
I Have nothing against Americans per se ! However wherever you go in Europe Americans can be immediately
identified by the very LOUD voices and the wearing of back to front baseball caps, T shirts and shorts
in every situation !
That's for sure, they can be heard several streets away.
After watching several videos of the lovely Europeans slamming LOUD Americans, it has changed me. I am now quiet and cold toward Europeans. I have a solution Americans will stay in America and Europeans can stay anywhere but America.
@@williammorris3815 ... Sounds good to me 👍... only trouble is when the wind is blowing in our direction we can still hear them Americans in America way over here in Europe. 🤣
@@williammorris3815 really? wow man wake up, so you want even more separation? i never will understand this kind of dumb reasoning.
American beer 🍺 is pond water. 🇨🇦
Eric Idle said that that American beer is like shagging in a canoe. It’s effing close to water.
😂😂😂, so accurate!
Even our main beer producers have gone and licensed America's "better" brews to make them almost acceptable to Canadians.
Me personally will not buy.
I don't support American businesses trying to get into our economy.
Where the "loud" comes from I think is that Americans tend to project their voices more which combined with with their vocal tones due to their accents just makes their voices really stand out, even when someone fakes an American accent they naturally speak louder. Then there's the obnoxious ones.
Tyler, did you know that there are no franchises in Italy? At some railway stations, you might find a McDonald’s or even less often, a Starbucks, but Italians prefer freshly cooked food and freshly ground coffee and they drink espresso several times a day.
Great video, 'The American Dream' is the same everywhere, but inflation has wrecked the ability to get a home. In UK it is just really bad for young folks to get on the house market . As a retired guy I have 2 houses, one rented out for a friend at a low rent. Rents here are a large % of any wage.
My problem with Americans asking for directions in London is that they often have no idea where they are or where they want to go. They seem to forget that Greater London is 960 square miles in area.
Perhaps Americans have to speak loudly in order to hear each other over the wide open spaces that America has.
"Most Americans like to drink beer". Trouble is, most of it over there just isn't!
To be fair, in recent years, it's starting to change for the better, slowly.
*light beer and you have to be 21+ 😆
When on holiday there the Ponderosa steakhouse restaurant were crazy.. you pay for a meal but the buffet while you wait is so big… you often just take the meal home for later
Would love to see a healthcare video
I remember returning to my Isle of Wight back in the 1980's (I think it was) on a car ferry from Portsmouth to Cowes after a day of driving around the S. Coast of England making deliveries, where up on deck I met aa party of men and women (wives?) American, or, Canadian (as to me they have just about the same accent), and just had to ask hopefully politely asked which country are you from, America or Canada?
Once of the chaps replied 'Canada' and smiled at the confusion of accents, and didn't get a punch in the face, as I thought they might get a bit salty for getting the country accent wrong.
Anyway, we had a bit of a laugh and had had a nice conversation and were happy that I was a local and lived, so asked about places they were intending to visit for a week and left the ferry as 'friends' but never met them again, which is a shame as they were very nice people...
However back in the early 1970;s I was stationed (RAF) in Bahrein at a place called Muharraq, and because of our job we lived in a two story block so we didn't have to worry about talking about work, and had a Bar where we took turns of running it, i.e. buying the booze, and making sure the large fridge was filled, for selling the beers and other booze. One night about 8-9 American sailors from a ship parked up in the port over at Muharraq docks, arrived after finding out we had a bar, so didn't need to go into the nearest town. They were friendly, but a bit loud, and as the night wore on they started to get even more shouty after some beers and booze, but, still in good humour and didn't start any fights. The next day we were invited to visit their shop at the docks, so about 4-5 of us went down there, and had a tour around the inside of the ship, which was quite fun.....😄
So over all, it was quite nice meeting them......But, why are Americans can't just Americans, and not African/Chinese/Japanese/French/ German/Dutch/British/etc. Americans?
Just curious.....
Was it Portsmouth? I lived there for many years and often went to the Isle of Wight. My ferry went to Ryde Pierhead. I thought the ferry to Cowes sailed from Southampton.
@@Joanna-il2ur
I used to travel on the car ferry from Fishbourne Ryde to Portsmouth about 35 minutes and return to Ryde. The because of more customers to get to was West, like Salisbury, he changed the ferry route to Cowes - Southampton and return, which was about an hour's trip to Cowes.
The Portsmouth to Ryde, was the passenger ferry to and from Ryde Pier, or from Southsea to Ryde beach via the Hovercraft I believe. Long time since I travelled on those car/passenger Ferries or Hovercraft. This is many years ago....
It's quite common in Australia to ask for a container to take home food (we sometimes call it a doggy bag) we can't eat at a restaurant and that's with our smaller than American portion sizes! Gym and exercise is big here too.
Trump is so outrageous that he dominated political news in many countries. It became a source of entertainment. A sad one.
NEVER happens in the UK!
Hi Tyler, Its a bit like Americans doing a 'London' Accent, which by extrapolating Americans lack of knowledge of anywhere else in England, my be an English accent.
Also I'm guessing Texans sound a bit like that?
Yes, like Dick Van Dyke with his London 'accent' in the film Mary Poppins......😁
I love Americans i have never been there but the Americans I've met here in London have been super nice 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 ❤
I love Americans …and meeting Americans on holiday here in the UK ….I can have so much fun 😂…..seriously they’re really nice …and super polite …when they stop shouting! 😀💕
The stranger thing is the sounds added to the English words. Like a small eletrical grinder sound.😮
LOUD is an expression yes it means the sound and volume levels are high but some Americans are pushy when all they are trying to be is friendly and over the top , most people in the word are on the reserved side to friendly but the Americans are over powering and it’s confronting to the majority it’s hard to explain . But saying that when your in America it’s not so noticeable because everyone are over the top in a nice way 🤷♀️
The working class all over the world tend to be loud so don't read too much in to it
I'm liking your videos
Your video on accents in the UK had me 😅 but I must say your Queens English sorry Kings is quite good you might want to watch the movie My Fair Lady it'll put a smile on your face as the accents are from the city of London
Mmm I wonder if you did a video with the city I live in ?
I live in Nottingham
Have you ever heard of Robin Hood?
PEACE and ONE LOVE to ALL
🦁👑❤💛💚
Some 20 years ago I was in a queue in a Paris Youth Hostel with other English speakers. When I got to the end of the interaction at the end of it I was thanked for speaking French. Go figure!
I've found that the further south in Europe you go, the louder the locals, lol. Looking at you, Italy. Here in the Nordics we tend to be quiet.
Based!
so true., i am in between , netherlands. up norht its too quiet for me, down south too loud, haha isnt that funny.
i wonder if people cannot see, that wherever you grow up, it brainwashes you!!!!!!! few few people are aware of this fact.
Brits abroad, as a Brit myself, seem to think many things abroad are not as superior as our version and they get to be boring. Americans are perhaps not that knowledgeable about where they travelling, but they are mostly enthusiastic about everything which is a joy to be around.
101 guns per 100 people yet claims it isn't common for people to carry them
Well if the average gun owner has 10 guns each then 90% of the population wouldn't own any, let alone carrying one.
@@c_n_b ahh I guess I see your point
It's 120.5 as of 2017. Haven't been able to find any more recent than that.
But still, even with so many not owning any, that number is ridiculously high.
Yeah it's not like you never hear about gun crime in the US 😂
A lot of Americans just seem to ignore the facts. I suppose to them it's normal
@@101steel4 based on what some have said about some owning 10+ guns it is more likely that he is correct and many don't.
I was in the States on 4 July 1976, States 200 years old and Colorado just 100 years old. A little hard for Brits/Europeans to get their minds round. BUT it's amazing the nation the US became in just 200 years is remarkable given how many nationalities/languages were involved to begin with. Well done all!
People of the USA are very loud when abroad.
The interesting thing I always feel, is the rest of the world do pay attention to everyone else’s politics and culture, whereas the stereotype of America is it’s very closed shop. They don’t look into much outside their own borders, many don’t own a passport because they don’t see the need to go elsewhere, and they’re far too focussed on what’s going on in America that they don’t have time to look elsewhere.
Here in the UK, we cover American elections on news channels with just as much airtime as a British election, for example. But I bet American broadcasters don’t provide hour by hour vote counting of a British election.
As for the right to bare arms, is there an argument that as an American you are desensitised by guns presence? Also, random shootings probably aren’t covered on news cause of how common they are. Here in the UK, someone gets stabbed in a village and it makes national news coverage on the BBC because it’s so shocking.
Interesting that all the Europeans speak English whereas most of us English folk can't speak another language.
Well, English is THE world language which has made us lazy! Everyone speaks English!
However that is less true about the English these days, everyone learns 2 languages at school !]Nevertheless
whereve you go abroad, everyone wants to speak English and practice on you ! It is THE universal language.
Trust me Americans are loud, they also lack etiquette. I don't know where you (Tyler) are from, but your accent is unusual to my ears and rather pleasing for an American accent, unlike most of the American accents my ears have had the displeasure to listen to yours is rather pleasant.
Every American I have ever seen, walked passed, met, all over the world, talk with I don't know how many dB louder than everyone else! They are a LOUD people for sure. Your news, your documentaries, your game shows, your late night shows, youtubers, Americans are always loud, you all sound like you are yelling.
I think that the some Americans are loud because they are often emotional people. Not everyone is. I know that there is a time and a place for certain behavior, not being too loud or creating a scene in public. It’s appropriate at a concert or a sporting event
Americans tend to be loud, at least the ones I've met. It's literally the volume of their voices. They're not unique in this, it's partly down the cultural stereotype of the 'reserved British'. Compared to that, Americans are loud and Americans tend not to want to blend perhaps partly due to American exceptualism, the idea that America is the default cultural norm and others should adapt to fit, not the other way around. Also disagree about the point that was made about heritage and where someone is born: there's NOWHERE on earth that has the culture of 'Irish-American, Italian-American, Afro-American, or I'm a 32th Cherokee, 8th Swedish, 24th German' etc
In the US 38,000 people die every year from guns, 14,000 of those are murdered.
In England and Wales (most of the UK population) there were 35 murders by firearms.
European countries have similar low numbers.
That is why people mention it in these videos.
I take it that Tyler lives in a north eastern state but suspect if he lived in Texas or some of the mid west or rocky mountain states he would see people walking around Walmart openly carrying guns.
What about knife crime?
@@noahremnek3615 It varies in recent years from between 180 to a high of 282 last year which equates to around 1400 if you scale up to the US population.
So about 10% of US gun crime. And the US will have knife statistics of their own.
It's much harder to kill or even injure someone with a knife which is why they invented guns. You have to get up close and personal.
Also the UK has laws limiting the size of the knife blade that you can carry on your person to 2.7 inches WITHOUT GOOD REASON. So any person found carrying a knife larger than that by the police needs to be able to justify it (carrying home after purchase, using it as a tradesman etc.)
I'm british i like america they make me laugh🤣
Mr McDreamy...! Yeaaaah! I am so happy!! 😊😊❤❤
Be careful about looking for fast food when you visit places like France.
You'll end up paying more than the daily 'plat-du-jour' in many a café.
And I've seen wine cheaper than Coca-Cola in many a place.!!!
??To be honest Tyler, when Europeans talk about Americans being "loud" that might be a bit misleading; it's more "brash" perhaps, and therefore seeming to be louder ("assertive" if you will) than many Europeans (I think) are used to.
Americans do have tendancy to speak louder when people don’t understand them, like speaking louder will help😂
Way too loud: ‘why do people think we’re loud’. Lol good vid though
trust me, American are LOUD. They HAVE to make themselvse heard, nothing is just talked about, it's shouted.
Now do one where the question isnt asked by an american 😂 do love your videos
The fact that the American guy put the union flag, not the english flag, with the caption "English" is SO american. Also I have found Americans to be loud but i also think there's a sharpness to a lot of American accents and it intensifies it
Firstly I want to say I love America. I've been many times and will continue to go. ( UK here). However there are many things that most, not all im sure, Brits can't get their head around, and that is guns. ANY OTHER country with the amount of mass shootings, all those children killed would have done something. We had a bit of a knife problem in this country, so we made it illegal to sell knives - this includes cutlery knives - to under 18s. To me, because of your constitution, it feels like people are so wrapped up in what their indervidual right is, they don't think what's best for the country as a whole. I know the constitution is different from the law of the land, but again in most, I will say European countries, if a law needs to change to move along with the times then most of the time It will be changed. I also feel religion playes far to big a part in choices made for the country. Religion is and should be a personal thing and should not interfere with State. But all that being said, when I'm there the people are helpful, friendly. Everything is bigger. Money is thrown at things to make things the best it can be. This attitude you guys have of "America . The greatest country in the world" may statistically be far from the truth as it would be for the UK, but that attitude I think drives the country to always strive to be better and do better, which I think deserves admiration. Love your videos. Although I often find myself shouting at the TV screen to give you the answer to things lol.
Paul
Kitchen knives, screwdrivers, box cutters and other tools are so easy to access that if a criminal really wanted to use one to hurt or kill someone, they would have absolutely no problem. And how often are murderers under 18 anyway? As for America's gun violence problem, it isn't caused by the guns, is it? It's caused by people. Either gangs or mentally unstable individuals. The root of the problems should be tackled before restricting the rights of individuals. I do think that a license would be a good idea, especially for the more potentially deadly weapons, but not restricting them altogether. We know that our rulers are usually not working in our best interests and have historically oppressed the people on many occasions. The police also cannot usually be relied on to arrive in time to save someone's life if they are in danger. "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
turns out, statistically, we dont... its not as bad as spain and the like.
@@andyf4292 maybe get some facts?
iv been to america once.... a holiday my partner won....
would i go back willingly....
hell no!!!!
its weird! i could write a huge list of things i hated... and a small one of things i loved.
"A LITTLE bit of tunnel vision"? 🤣🤣
George Carlin...."The American Dream. You have to be asleep to believe it".
Loud because they like everyone to know they are from the US so their opinions are important and they are special, deserving deference. 🤢🤢
I feel very sorry for the ordinary working Americans down to the unemployed poor . Money is the god and CEO's are his disciples. Everyone else are the slaves who have to work to live or just lie down and die under the cruelty of the rich.
Okay Tyler, I'll bite, as a Brit who lived in America for nearly 12 years. Y'all are loud. I think a lot of you are typically in very loud environments, at least in cities, where you have a lot of sound competing for your attention, so you have to speak up to be heard over the din. I genuinely found the average American city to be a much louder environment than the average British city. As a megacity, London is loud, yes, but at the same time, there are a lot of wide open spaces and parks with trees that help break up that sound, where I found that in comparison, Pittsburgh, for example, has canyons of sound between buildings, which can result in noise feeling amplified.
At the same time, you actually, generally, stand further apart when talking, than most cultures, so you're accustomed to speaking at a volume that allows for that. When you're speaking with someone who is used to standing closer for conversation, or from a quieter environment, or both, generally, Americans are bad at recognizing they need to lower their voice, and it can often be uncomfortable, borderline painful, because it does feel like an American is bellowing at you when they speak. I actually suffered from this problem of speaking too loud when I moved back to the UK, and it took a few years to get back into the habit of speaking more quietly.
I would dispute the openness to first generation immigrants however. It may be a result of when specifically I was in the US, with the run up to Trump's election making the country feel increasingly hostile to me, even as a white British immigrant. I felt distinctly unwelcomed, and at risk, in the US, and I'm sure if I was feeling that way, that racial minority immigrants felt even more so.
As to Americans with guns, all I'll say is, in some of the rural Walmarts in "Pennsyltucky"... yeah, lot of people walking around with their firearms, and it's creepy how people have become accustomed to that, considering how poor, in general, standards are regarding who may possess and carry a firearm. Scarier still, I know that for all the weapons that were openly carried, there were a number that could have been carried concealed, whether with, or without, a permit for such. I had no way of knowing whether I was seeing a genuine good guy with a gun, or a mass shooter seconds from deciding to ruin an entire store full of people. That was deeply concerning, as someone who is not inherently against firearms (to the extent I believe some countries are too strict in their firearm control), and who is themselves not afraid of firearms, and actually enjoys firing them at a range. It isn't that firearms scare me, it is that the types of people inclined to carry firearms everywhere are probably the ones who should be most restricted from doing so.
not quite buying your accent and innocence.... you're a Machiavellian genius!
Don’t get me wrong, nothing against how Americans speak, but I do find Americans unusually loud and very animated. I mean it’s actually kind of sweet and funny to me but also confuses me because no other countries to me seem like that 😂❤
uh uh i am from the netherlands, have you ever been to italy or spain , lotsa loud gesticulation there..but yes amercans are first there
hmmm. suez, grenada, the atom bomb... theres a bit of a pattern...its like betrayal is a thing
Hate to tell you that the US had no presence with Suez, that was Britain, France and Israel. General Nasser seized the Suez Canal from the Anglo-French company that owned. We invaded, and brought in Israel, which in 1956 had only existed for eight years. American President Dwight Eisenhower, a Republican, told us to get the hell out of there, and we got. The PM, Anthony Eden, had a nervous breakdown and had to resign. Two years later the French Fourth Republic collapsed. There’s lots to blame America for, but not that.
They say "For sure" an awful lot and their teeth are lovely.
ofcourse !! you have to follow all those television adds..hehe no one talking about the fake smiles, or do only celebrities do those?
It's not that you're all loud, but we can hear you whisper from two fields the size of Texas away! 😂
hahahaha
When US tourists are in Europe you can hear them over everyone else. They don't take their drink well and they have to be centre of attention.
My first thoughts were:
- gun deaths
- nightmare healthcare
- racism
- military
- corporations controlling government
- NASA
- native americans
Corporations don’t buy your politicians?
The loudness is the over enthusiam
it is much more than just that.
Load and a lot of funny face moments.
im sorry to say this but ive been to america and i now wouldnt come back i prefer turkey
Aussie gun laws are strict af You have to go thru checks & have a reason to own 1.They changed the laws in 3 months! Ur amendment can be changed. The US makes majority of its money from gun sales.
Hi Tyler
We are British but my autistic son loves USA flags he room is covered with the USA flags
haha ah well why not?
I never eat fast food and know only one person (who's 25) who even eat it.
America is way more diverse then any country in Europe, Africa, Asia....if you are taking about Irish-American, Italian-American, Scottish-American.
I broke apart at the first imitation : " Ye - Ha !" I wouldn`t have thought of that, but the lass is on the money. To those Americans than have sojourned abroad, have you ever noticed how many people, young and old, wear American T - Shirts ? I`m more than sure that most of them will not have been to the United States and picked them up there.
Imitation is often the best form of flattery.
Assume that half the world loves you whilst the other half envies you - which is why they hate you.
There's lots to like about the US but envy is not a reason to dislike many of the things that the US is not good for. Healthcare, which bankrupts tens of thousands every year, massive homelessness and no attempt to help, guns with over 250 mass shootings this year so far. Too many harmful additives in their foods, politicians legally permitted to take bribes, the failed two party system, the indoctrination of children having to swear allegiance to a flag, and more. These are some of the things the US is disliked, even hated for, but most generally like it's people, it's land and it's weather.
@@Thurgosh_OG I didn`t say that I envy the US. Indeed, I have been there, lol.
Why would anyone envy those things you say are not `good` about the country ? People who envy, I presume, are those that percieve someting good in others they think they lack in themselves.
One might call it the `saleability` of the USA. People all over the world want that `American Dream,` which - as you point out - is rather the nightmare to many millions of Americans.
Every country has stereotypes. Ask anyone from anywhere what they think people from somewhere else is like and most will give a similar view on said country. 😂
There is this old Joke/ Stereotype which applied to Brits andswell as Americans where if you encounter somebody who can not understand your language or prehaps accent you speak louder and maybe slower. lol as if that will help.
Yeah, my mother is convinced her Poodle understands English, all English speakers naturally assuming everyone can understand them. :D
@@jasoncallow860 lol I had a friend who had a rescue dog who he had difficulty training until he discovered that it had in fact cone from France lol
when Americans attempt a British accent we call it doing a 'Dick Van Dyke'
I think it’s because most of the Europeans speak with a softer tone in the voice, where is the Americans don’t have a soft tone
Is there a McDonald's around here? I need a burger
Americans don't have real beer in their country, more like fizzy lager (lager is not beer, it's a girls drink not for men).
Don’t blame us! My husband is American and we both hate us beer.
The loudness is not just the volume of speech, but the attitude to situations. If you want to put a positive spin on it, I'd call it over enthusiastic. If you want a negative spin, I'd go for brash. Having said that, Europeans outside the UK think all Brits are drunken louts. Unfortunately, all nations can be tarnished by the less desirable elements in their respective societies. I'm certain every culture has this and their notoriety is often a function of their global footprint. Better than being ignored I suppose.
Oh look the middle class fairly good looking US man interviews mainly good looking women and younger people...oh my!
Im European,and in my opinion people ive met that are from any part of US (not many i know) seem to be pretty relaxed,comunicative and fun. What i do hate about Americans however is that their politicians are more concerned with foreign policy and are starting wars with their actions in faraway lands without dealing properly with internal politics and problems in their own country. Their just poking nose around the world and looking for a way to start wars and ruin other countries without risking their own skin.
in a pointless pursuit of absurd goals
very loud as in the volume. Some of US tourists r rude & don’t get that US laws don’t apply outside of the US. If u can’t keep havin beers in the morn u can’t keep up.
The more people who have guns, the higher the crime rate and the more shootings occur. Australia changed our gun laws after one mass shooting.
yeah, but aussie politicians are less dumb than their amercan counterparts.
Americans think of themselves as the leader of the free world. I think that is annoying. There are Americans, who think that Europe is some kind of extension of the US. I remember that I had a difficult time to explain to an American that the Netherlands have bike lanes and that it is absolutely prohibited to ride with your bike on the highway to make a tour within the Netherlands. I also tried to explain to him how dangerous that would be. He could not believe what he was hearing. It is not that Americans are considered not to be nice or that America is not seen as a beautiful country. All my colleagues at work planned vacations to go to the US. From going to New York or to go on a tour and see different states and cities, like San Francisco in California. The found it shocking to see so many homeless people, but they still admired the beauty of the country.
They don't like to engage with there audience. Ohh wait that's just you Tyler lol a little bit of engagement goes a long way that's what i love about Steve over at Reacting to my roots channel. You come across like you don't care about your viewer's or Subs. Thats more a personal criticism tho.
That's just reminded me that I've not seen any videos from Steve for ages.
@@tarantulagirl666 he went on vacation to visit family he got back on sunday so should be working on another video soon. 👍
@@Trevor-Stephen ah right, I guessed he must be on his hols or something like that as he's normally posting quite regularly
I've heard many people say that Tyler doesn't bother to read the comments. I suppose he knows all the answers to the questions he asks!? (Rude)
@@emmafrench7219 for every video he's uploaded? As far as i have gone back on his video back log i havent seen one Like or reply Rude or Not ive removed my Sub.
As for rraction vids ille stick with Steve over at ReactingtomyRoots and JTandAnna and to think he knows the answeres to every question he might be asked (aye right) Could be worse tho like JPS he watches a vid that says American are dumb or do things wrong he questions if the vid is fake or not lol
Guy lives in denial says things like the english speak English wrong.
Like bouncing labrador dogs but very charming!
adn very tiring after a short while. go walk with a puppy on a leash.. but it is not only the loud , it is this silly behaviour like
i am an american and you HAVE to serve me.
Drinking in americsn i seem goes with sport...wantching the game drinking a bud...
