Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed it!
If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

"The UK for me has been... London."
Good news Evan... there's also a London boroughs quiz.
Next video in the series ^^
Then-->German states
omg yes please do this
Not knowing where anywhere is outside of London would put you on a par with 90% of Londoners (I'm a Londoner, BTW)!
@@johnpotts8308 they just don't teach us about the UK in geography lmao
@@jaygo6390 idk if stuff have changed that much in the last 7 years, but they deffo did. Had to learn bout all the rivers mountains and cities in the UK
“Is Merseyside this one? No can’t be, that’s Liverpool”
That one hurt my scouse heart real bad 💔😂
same here
Same 😭
Isn't that where Gerry and the Pacemakers take the ferry?
I’m not from Liverpool but even I felt the pain when he said “Liverpool County” 🤣
That was super painful as a someone from Merseyside! :D
Evan... I've lived in the UK ALL my life and I don't know where half of the counties are located. Because Geography just doesnt exist in my brain.
So you did very well.
Me too, I could get the Home Counties and... er...
Same
yeh I never learnt the counties in geography anyway so I straight up know like ten of them and that's it
As a northerner, I know down to South Yorkshire then I don’t know. I feel like nowadays it’s just not necessary to know that kind of thing
I expect most people only know the counties they've visited, or near where they live. That's certainly true in my case
I bet the neighbours were wondering why I was screaming "NO! THAT ONE!" in an increasingly frustrated tone 🤣
I nearly cried when he said "no that's not Merseyside, that's Liverpool"

Just a tip but Berkshire is pronounced as Barkshire here - similar to Hertfordshire :)
Really? I had no idea, everyone I know pronounces it "berk shire". Makes sense though when you remember how Hertford is pronounced
@@tylerbeaumont That does surprise me, even as a southerner myself.
When one says a city not a county! Good try though, I'm not good at the North ones, I'm from Worcestershire West mids but know everything in my belt and below plus a lot of Wales and lower Ireland. Sorry Northerners! 😊😁
Wait really I’m from Hertfordshire and I thought it wasn’t that lmao
Oh Asif, I've never heard another english person say it like that, must be the berk accent or something xx
I just noticed how much more pretty Evan's videos have gotten
Nice blue highlights in this one.
fr omg
Thank you!! I spent some extra time developing a new colour grading style in the recent 2 videos by tweaking my homemade LUTs a bit :)
And Evan himself is rather pretty too
@@AntTube88 100% agree
Me, from Nottingham, after Evan complimenting the flag: why thank you 😌
Update did the quiz, got 43% big proud of myself- only been living here for 17 years
I did a similar quiz over and over again until I learned them all. First time in a while I've had to remember them, did the quiz and got 91%
Robin Hood was from Yorkshire, change the flag 😂😂😂
@@Muppetkeeper what you want me to do I didn’t even know there was a flag until this video 😂
Could you tell me the name of the quiz ,please?
nottingham gets the best flag because Robin Hood, which isn't fair cos Locksley and Barnsdale are in Yorkshire!
I am from the Midlands and you should never ever call us southerners, we would rather be called northerners but just call us the Midlands x
As someone from north worcestershire, I fully agree with this statement.
@@enderfoxx8812 ah fair enough, I'm from East Midlands x
@@madsmads2651 what's it like being northern
As an East Midlander I would agree, but I always think of the references to ‘the midlands area’ in reference to lady parts in the movie: Mrs Henderson Presents
I'm from the East Midlands and I agree!
evan: this little twinky probably has to be an important city right
the whole of rutland: 👁👄👁
This comment had me in stitches XD
I'm British and I would totally fail this. I know mine, the ones surrounding me, and Pembrokeshire where my extended family live. Edit: I'm from Nottingham and was shouting at the screen NORTH GO MORE NORTH lol. Also it's true we don't generally consider ourselves southerners.
I'm in Nottinghamshire and I was screaming 'UP, GO UP' because I couldn't believe he was putting us more South.
Nottingham is basically the south lol
@@Earthcomputer eh? Thee is talking some next level blasphemy
@@matt1612 they’re right, haha, I’m from Durham so Nottinghamshire is quite south to us
Well as a true northener of england (cumbria) i was just saying "No we are not *insert county here*"
It'd be interesting to see what score Evan might have gotten if the name didn't show up when you clicked on the wrong country/if you didn't get 3 goes. There's definitely some that he only knew because he'd already clicked it. (I would definitely be in the same boat!)
Evan insisting the midlands don't exist meanwhile that's the ONLY bit I'm confident on (Fun fact: Until 2020, Rutland was the only county without a Mcdonalds)
As someone from Kent, I love that no one can help themselves from saying "Garden of England" after the county's name..... even if you don't know where it is!
@EllenKelly aaa im close , Canterbury haha
Same hahaha
@EllenKelly Maidstone!
Cestrian (by relocation) here, from Chester, which is the county town of Cheshire - you need to visit it for many reasons: Chester is the home of the second-most photographed clock in the UK (after Elizabeth Tower), Roman walls and medieval split-row shops (called the Rows). It is beautiful and your photographer's eye will go nuts for it. The river is also lovely, along with the bridges over it. The rest of the county has equally beautiful pockets, although I know the west far better than the east. The county is also the gateway to two major beauty spots - the Derbyshire dales to the east and North Wales and Snowdonia to the west. I hope you get to go there soon!
BTW: 84% in about three minutes, although doing it right after watching you do it may have helped a little!
Also, the ghost stories and archaic, but still in force byelaws are rather cool too!
"the south north" you mean the midlands 😅
okay so you did better than I thought you would! one thing: bark-shire, not berk-shire!
To be fair, that’s an accurate description of the Midlands 😂
I've always referred to the Midlands as "No-mans land", as rather like the bit of ground between the trenches in WWI nobody wants to lay claim to it and apparently nobody lives there, or at least won't admit to it. lol
Evan: *points out where Liverpool is at the start of the video*
Also Evan: *literally couldn't find Merseyside if his life depended on it*
“It’s like the South North.”
*steam escaping the ears in intense Midland fury
Not a day goes by when my Northern and Southern friends claim I'm one or the other :/
Evan: *Hovers over Rutland, a county that's basically just countryside and has 1 train station*
Evan: That's got to be an important city!
Everyone watching who knows where Rutland is: 🤦
As a Hampshire born and bred person, I am disappointed we're not where Cumbria and Northumberland is now
Evan - clicks Cumbria for Hampshire
Me (from Hampshire) - instantly insulted, “HOW DO YOU GET THE IOW AND NOT HAMPSHIRE?!”
probably because the isle of wight is an island :P
but also, yes - hampshire being thought of as "north" was kind of hilarious XD
@@danh4698 I mean, New Hampshire is in the north of the US so that's probably where he got confused.
From Newcastle and I can place the top counties but when u get to that belt he struggled with, you’re on your own
Welcome back to a man who just had his British citizenship application rejected
Was it rejected? Or was this a joke, as I just watched the video he quoted this comment at the beining... And I'm hoping it's just because he's bad at geography and not because he actually didn't get his citizenship
I'm British and I did this quiz the other day and only got 27% :)
Hehehehhheheh laughs in 100% :)
Lol
I got 41% lol
I am British also and probably only know three or four counties in the South East 😅
I've never been to England and i got 41% hahha
I’m from Cumbria, you defo need to visit the Lake District it’s the best ♥️
Also Cumbrian (hiii lol) and I agree. Live here but don’t get tired of it
3 cumbrians in a chain
I feel like if Evan was in control of lighting my life the way he lights these videos lately I'd be a solid 26% happier.... so pretty
“Everyone hates the French” cut to mirror Evan with the board shaking his had angrily and shrugging.
Hovers around Norfolk
" This is like Norwickshire.." 🤣
"That's not Merseyside, that's Liverpool." Trust me when I say that is the least painful thing that city has heard in the last 24 hours.
Evan's video and audio quality is wonderful. He is a true craftsman.
The first one being Cheshire -
Me just sitting in my house feeling acknowledged
Omg same 😅
Saaaaaaaame
As a born and bred Scot, I have no idea where 99% of the counties are. I know Cornwall, and Northumberland, that's it!
Same for English people knowing the Scottish ones haha
Sounds like you've got it covered - those two...
and some in the middle.
Haha I'm also from Scotland and yeah, I did this quiz and I did worse than Evan...but I knew where Cumbria, Northumberland, and the ones in the South West were lol.
@@aceatlasska4343 I got the exact same!
Like I said on a previous video. Give him a map of Zones 1 and 2 and he'd nail it.
Surprising how well he did on the Midlands considering "We don't exist"
The reason you find all the shires hard to pronounce is because you actually pronounce the R in it. Just say sha (with the throwaway vowel sound). Remember, british english just doesnt really have them as much, especially at the ends of words 😅
me sat in hampshire watching evan's mouse move from right next to it to literally the other end of country *screams*
Thank you for the video! You did far better than I would have!
Love how he knows how to pronounce Hertfordshire but then mispronounces Berkshire twice haha
Nice video Evan :)
Tyne & Where made me wince too instead of Tyne & wee-er.
Love how quickly you got Tyne and Wear!! Made me smile as I’m from there ❤️
I've lived in England my entire life. There is no way I would have gotten anywhere near 51%. I laughed when you thought Hampshire was up north. We're way down south
i've been waiting for this video for so long. i love it.
I think you need to come here to the Hampshire/Wiltshire border to see how south Hampshire is 😂
Thankyou for making lockdown more enjoyable
As someone from Newcastle living in Durham, I'm just happy you got us right!
You were almost right about Northumberland, it means land north of the humber ('ull), or North Humber Land
Tyne and “wee ah”
The most people who know geography are football fans as they’re always travelling to the most random of places.
I'm from Staffordshire, I love how you guessed it would be coastal when it's known as the furthest point from the coast that you can be in all directions 😂
A place in Derbyshire is the furthest from any coast
"Isle of Wight - I've been there, it's beautiful, stayed in a tree house"
I'm from Dorset. I would recommend visiting.
there are a few nice beaches and its home to the worlds 2nd largest natural harbour - Poole Harbour. I know it very well
Dorset gang rise up
Tried the quiz as a Belgian who has been in the UK only once, on a school trip to London. I have barely any knowledge about the UK. I got 41%, which sounds impressive, until you realise I made the quiz right after watching this video and most of them were still just guesses
I've lived in England all my life and did A-Level Geography and even I couldn't get this 100% right so don't beat yourself up. Loved your super sharp filming btw. You watch Jack Edwards? Yay! Love him too.
Honestly, I’m from England and got a 9 in Geography GCSE but I would’ve been awful at this, so you did well. Even though I’m from Staffordshire lol. Also, have you watched Taskmaster? It’s really the best of British comedy
This was so much fun to watch.. your frustration, your jubilation... Also the fact you know it's hARTfordshire but don't know bARKshire. And omg your confidence at the end then suddenly - Rutland.
apart from lincolnshire and nottinghamshire (where i live and go to school) i’m pretty sure i couldn’t place many more counties on the map. name a few? yes. place them? i’ve got no chance.
You were on the right lines for Northumberland's etymology.
It's just North Humber Land - in other words, land north of the Humber river... which is all the way down the other side of Yorkshire, but still.
I'm a full-on Brit and i never knew how many shires we have. LOL.
Camera angle setup looks beautiful, Evan x
This was so frustrating to watch, how do you not remember what you’ve already clicked on ahhhhh 😤😤😂😂😂😂
You said "south-folk, north-folk" and I can't believe I've never looked at it like that before 😂
In this video a man selects Warwickshire more than any county in England, and still takes 2 tries to get it right
As a resident of Warwickshire this hurt me
Evan, you are a star in the making !
West Midlands born, living in Warwickshire. Proud Midlander. Although you don’t seem to like us! 😂
Because the North and South spend their time talking about how better they are than each other and we quietly sit there not taking part and knowing we're better than both 🤣
@@plkrtn amen to that 😂😂
Lincolnshire... they make 'THE Sausage'... yeah that helped me in every geography exam 🤣🤣🤣👍
Hello and welcome back to a man who can’t stop moving his hands
When he was putting Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire in, I was so offended that he thought it was so far South. I live in Nottinghamshire and work in Yorkshire and we are definitely North. I was like 'GO UP, GO FURTHER UP, OH MY GOD!'
As a gordie I got chills when he said Tyne and "wear" (Pronounced: Where) even though I know exactly why he pronounced it like that
Btw it's pronounced like "We-er"
I'd get most, although I hadn't realised Bristol or City of London had their own counties. I'm from Sunderland (tyne and wear (pronounced like we're)), studied in Leicester (leicestershire).
The smallest county in the UK is the Isle of Wight for half the year, and Rutland the other half, depending on the tides.
I'm from Gloucester and I'm unsettled by how you're saying Gloucestershire!
"This small one is some major city I know this" cracked me up whilst you hovered over *Rutland*
It's okay as an Arizonan I can only name Maricopa county, Pima county, Coconino County, and Mohave County off the top of my head.
me sat waiting for my county like...
Judging from this I feel he needs to plan a trip/s to the east midlands or just the whole of the midlands.
As a Salopian, I can’t help but feel offended by what you said about my proud county of Shropshire 😂 You also might be pleased to know that for a time in the 1970s the county was called Salop, and salope in French means something rather rude 🤭
Anyway, if you ever fancy visiting a Welsh English county, Shropshire is your place! Full of wonderful rural towns and historic buildings :) no cities at all!
I'm hurt, four times you clicked on Cumbria thinking it was another county. Hurt, hurt I tell you.
I did this a few years back in my own video, and did far better than I think I and anyone else would have expected. The part that surprises brits the most is my knowledge of the channel islands, as I guess according to them, even brits themselves forget about them.
I’ve like in the UK my whole life... I did not know most of these...
Evan keeping clicking on Cambridgeshire is sending me 😂💀
My London friend calls the Midlands "south North" and being from Derby, I actually agree. We definitely (by we I mean myself) feel more northern than anything else.
Evan trying to say Penzance made me chuckle
Evan: provides useful warning for pronouncing Hertfordshire. Also Evan: Tyne and Wear.....oops 😉. That aside, great video Evan kerp up good work! 😄
I never knew the quote "In Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire hurricanes hardly ever happen!" from My Fair Lady was about UK counties😆
Hello and welcome back to a man who clicks something and immediately forgets all about it
Lived in the UK my whole life and only discovered that Rutland was a place today
We literally only just got a McDonald’s there’s nothing here
Let’s see if you get my home county it’s very large but agricultural and a long way from London.
Either Cornwall or Northumberland
Cumbria - Hopefully after this video he should know it🤣
Cumbria I'd assume!
I would love to see you do a UK travel series :)
Hello and welcome back to someone who used to work in Pizza Hut
Honestly the only one I would’ve known is Tyne and Wear. We don’t learn this in school. Geography doesn’t teach us this. You did amazingly
Thanks for complimenting the notts flag! Can’t believe you don’t know where we are tho 😭 (86% yeah boiii)
"I had to touch some" Evan Edinger 2021
"At least I knew it was kinda North" right after clicking Cambridgeshire
I'm so pleased that you knew Bristol,the city where I live,is also a County in its own right. You did know that. It must be because at least one of your pals is from Bristol. This city was granted County status by King Edward the Third in 1377.
Don't worry, I've lived in the UK all my life and I have no idea where any of these are-
'That's Liverpool, the county'. As a scouser that one made me chuckle
When you hovered over Rutland but then changed your mind I was going nooooooooooooooo at my screen! XD
hello from suffolk :)
or as the locals pronounce it here “sarrfik” 😂
12:20 “Thank you YOU”
I throughly enjoyed this! You started well by picking out Cheshire where I am from, then I had fun yelling “up! Down! Left a bit! No you’re thinking of Sussex! Omg it’s pronounced BARKshire!” 😂 I feel like I can hear the sobs of all the scousers, traumatised by your separation of Merseyside and Liverpool... Btw I hope you’ll be impressed that I, an Englishwoman who has never been to the US, have memorised all the US states in alphabetical order. Whether I could pick them out on a map is another matter!!
For Hampshire you went the furthest you possibly could away from it!
Rutland Bois unite!! So important, Oakham is a very big city!
As an Irish person I was even more clueless as you in this 😭 the blue light is so pretty in the back btw!
So many American towns and places are based on Lincolnshire towns! They set sail from the sea! Of course it's on the coast.
Wales is a beautiful country, specially Snowdonia.
North Yorkshire is amazing too, like the Yorkshire Dales, North Yorkshire More and Whitby, Staithe and Scarborough.
West Yorkshire is the part of Yorkshire that is condense with towns and cities like Bradford, Wakefield, Leeds, and towns like Halifax, Huddersfield and a lot more.
I live in West Yorkshire and have lived in Bradford, Wakefield and Halifax so far.
