Lauren : "I don't mean it that" and also Lauren after a while : "i've seen some things" hahaha and Christina's reaction towards her is hilarious 😂😂, love you guys
The last time Christina and Lauren were together in a video was on February 22, 2022 in the video about hospital bills and medication , really long time , finally together again 😁
@@xZankiohx actually , he did see the last video , I think he is talking about the last time that videos with these two are more common and didn't have this "pause" for months
I think people in the US 🇺🇸 are much more smiling, excited, optimistic and outgoing than other countries in the world. Anyway I loved the video and of course both girls' talk , especially Christina's reactions
I can relate to the smiling part. as a west european the people were way more outgoing to other ppl then in my home country, which was refreshing. I cant relate to the optimistic part tho. It might depend on where you live in the US, but when I visited it was shocking how paranoid a lot of ppl were. Thats not a surprise for me, because the media was full of messages that u have to be afraid of everything. I also observed a lot more segregation. If you are poor or live in a social weak neighborhood you were way more stigmatised then I knew it from my country. This came with some real trust issue from a lot of ppl against other social groups.
That's exactly what I love about Americans 🇺🇸. Always kind, nice above all optimistic. Christina is the type girlfriend to get. She's from Boston and vegan
@@TheHolladiewaldfeee It might also have to in which part of Europe you are and even within in a country which region. In regions where most are without religion and mostly no socialist, the people seem more optimistic (if in Europe)

I'm an American who likes small talk, at times. I once was flying from Naples, Italy to London and was sat between a Brit and an Italian. I said hello to each when I sat down and as soon as the Brit heard my accent he completely hunched against the wall and started to read. I just knew he thought "oh no, an American who'll likely chat my ear off." 🤣 But the Italian on the other hand got all excited and we ended up chatting the whole way lol. I think the Brit was completely annoyed with us. I'd also like to point out that it's not just Italians who speak with their hands, so that could have also been a source for irritation.
don't worry, they're annoyed with everybody that is not from UK (I'm Italian and I've lived both in USA and England, people from usa were so funny, nice and positive, exotically with Italians ))))
I mean, if you're talking _conatantly_ for the whole flight then I think pretty much anyone would be annoyed with you right? Or is that just my English showing lol
@@toffonardi7037 bullshit. some brits do but us brits also get irritated easily. if it was 2 brits talking the whole flight instead of an italian and an american they'd have been just as annoyed. it's not because they're from a different country, it's cos they're annoying. if there was a sound american in the middle and an annoying brit at the end, we'd be annoyed by the annoying brit and we'd be sound with the sound american
@@sileudies yes I do, at least Majority of low class Living in south England. Never seen that amount of racism not even among souther rednecks in the Usa
It definitely is. I’m a city person but I’ve spent enough time in the country to be aware of the differences. Also there is a difference between a country town and living in a rural unincorporated area. Where a lot of my family lives the nearest store is a 20 to 30 minute drive into town. So people are raised to be largely self sufficient although not totally self sufficient as they were just a generation ago as my mom’s first cousins didn’t grow up patronizing grocery stores. Nowadays They still only have on gas station nearby and the pumps still have the rolling numbers.
@@humphreychannel582 It’s sizable for sure but not known how many Americans have never left the country. many non-Americans assume the stats are the same as the number who don’t have passports. To me this way of thinking is flawed because I grew up on the Southern border and went out of the country driving to Mexico many times before I ever had one. We can go certain places without needing a passport. My mom went to Canada without a passport. Keep in mind also we have island US territories like Puerto Rico, Guam and USVI. No passport needed. and before 9/11 restrictions weren’t so strict. my parents took us on a family vacation to the Bahamas when I was a teen . We flew there and I and my brother didn’t have a passport. Also I know a lot of people who are current or former military and deploy to different places around the world. They aren’t required to have tourist passports for deployments. I don’t know very many people who have never been out of the country but I would guess most of them live in Middle America.
I appreciate Christina sharing her point of view and that she said it differs by region. As someone whose family is from the South, she mentioned higher gun ownership but she made it about mostly about “protecting the land”. It took Lauren from the UK to bring up hunting. A lot of my family owns guns as a lot of my family hunts. A lot of my friends and coworkers do too. Hunting is important because it keeps certain populations in check when they don’t have natural predators around. Anyone ever hit a deer with their vehicle? It can be deadly. My family, We own hundreds of acres of undeveloped land in the country. It’s not unusual for my family and friends to own livestock, chickens. As far as protection, guns are also used for protection from animals. I don’t own a gun but there were times I wished I did when walking through the woods or a marsh and seeing animal tracks. Someone who spends their entire life never leaving a city or suburb probably wouldn’t understand that I primarily associate guns with hunting and I consider Americans who don’t primarily associate them with hunting as being of a different culture. I wouldn’t say one night stands are common but I think there are a lot of people who are in short lived relationships. But where I’m from because overall we are more religious than the northeast. I think Southern people are more patriotic but that is specifically Southern white people. Keep in mind Christina is not a minority. POC, especially black people are more likely to have a distrust of the government because it wasn’t all that long ago that we didn’t have equal rights under the law. Southern people are very chatty. I strike up conversations with strangers all the time and they do the same. I think Midwest people are pretty chatty too in the store, in the elevator, wherever. Someone who isn’t this way will likely be seen as cold, rude and stuck up. Also in my culture if you don’t have what is considered here to be good manners then people will think you weren’t raised properly. I would say of all the regions the Northeast is the least friendly and the most direct blunt aggressive.
Haha I'm glad you responded to this video because your observations tally with mine. I've lived in the South but I'm not a fan of guns unless it's needed for hunting or you live on a farm.
The thing about owning guns for hunting is true, but that doesn't invalidate the fact that in the South (I would say especially in Texas) there is a fanaticism for guns beyond hunting or for defense against wild animals. In Canada there are also bears and such, and nobody walks around with a revolver, buys rifles in stores and embraces the Confederate flag that represents above all racism and fanatical patriotism.
Guns *used* to be more common here. Some quick ways to see this: 1) Alfie King's letter to Lord Kitchener 2) the Forgotten Weapons video on the Larne gun running (there's a side remark somewhere in there about parlour shooting)
I think Americans are sometimes more optimistic and friendly because we tend to overcompensate for our bad reputation. People from other countries don't always think highly of us and look down on us because of what they see in the media or past interactions with Americans so some Americans try their best to not come off as rude or cocky or self-centered. Like in any country, there are always those people that genuinely do think they're better than everyone else or are rude to others, but for those who aren't like that, their genuine kindness is sometimes amplified by wanting to make up for other unmannered Americans I guess. That's just my take on it, maybe other people feel differently 🤷♀
People who hate Americans don't do so because they think they are "self-centered" but because they simply hate what they stand for: democracy and capitalism. They are basically bad people with bad intentions. Now, it is true that Americans sometimes appropriate facts or events that do not belong to them, but all countries are the same. Americans are good people, except those who support Trump.
I remember some LDS missionaries that we talked to, one was from Australia and he was very upbeat and personable and fun to talk to. The other was from England and it was clear he did not like being in America and seemed very annoyed at American culture.
I feel small talk and chatting up people is much easier in the West than in the Northeast, which can be a little colder, and mind your own business. So depends on the region.
Man Christina is an attractive woman lol I needed to get it out of my system. But yeah I missed this duo. My favorite girls I think. Might be since I’m American and it’s interesting seeing how the uk differs from us
Some of these are relatable like the small talk, I hate small talks, because they're boring, depressing and a few things more. And many people are optimistic compared to me. And in the US, it is legal to own a gun, because of the 2nd amendment in the bill of rights when Americans declared independence. The 2nd amendment says "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." In other words, you have the right to own a gun to defend yourself from any personal space invaders. Oh, and a friend of mine mentioned about his parents meeting each other on a one night stand.
It always humors me when I hear the term American accent. I’m from the US. Specifically the south. And southern states can hear the differences. Like, when I vacationed in Florida almost everyone I interacted with knew I was from Texas. Like, I can pinpoint someone from the UK just as easily as I could do for someone from Boston. It just humors me that people generalize an American accent so much
There are actually many different accents in the UK. What Americans normally identify as “ the British accent” is an upper middle-class from Southeastern England, but not that many actually sound like that in the UK.
In regards to question #2, I think the stereo type that Americans are “easy” mainly comes from TV shows and movies. Sex signifies intimacy, so writers use it as a short cut to try and squeeze an entire romantic plotline into a 30-min timeframe.
I think compared with the east, Americans are definitely way more open to one night stands. It's not uncommon for the vast majority of American women, including Asian Americans, who live in big cities and enjoy the party scene to have had 20+ partners before getting married.
@yelnatsch517 What really? I grew up in Southern California and now live in Arkansas and yeah there's a group or type of person where 20 partners is common but they were by far the minority. I usually saw people with a few partners in their life before they get married and even a few where they won't have sex until they are married. Although you did mention living in a big city and enjoying the party scene, which yeah I agree it would be more common.
Christina : "No! not all people have guns in the states.Seldom in my state". Also after realising it Christina : " Recently many in my state stocking guns for some reason" 😀😂😂
I’d say generally, regardless of location or political affiliation, most Americans consider themselves proud to be an American. I know there’s a lot of people on Reddit and Twitter who are staunchly anti-American, but social media sites are never representative of people in general. Americans differ more in how strong their patriotism is or how to approach issues facing the US. For myself, as someone who grew up in the same state as Christina (I now live in neighboring Rhode Island), I’d say I do love my country and wouldn’t leave unless I was relocated for work or something like that. I also find anti-Americanism hurtful. But I will never pretend that the US is perfect and acknowledge there are problems that need to be fixed.
It's funny because as a canadian, I don't understand why americans still live in the US lol. I guess we just get used to where we were born and unless there is something so dramatic we need to move (like Ukraine) we just don't.
As an American I feel blessed to live here. I think the anti-American rhetoric I see online is kind of ridiculous. Often times I'll see individuals who have never been to the United States like to talk bad about it, but also I noticed that American media also loves to bash it's own country. I'm not saying the USA is perfect, oh far from it but with seeing what my parents had to deal with before moving to USA and having traveled the world...yeah I'm happy I live here.
I'm just here to comment I agree with both Pluto and the other commentator on this response, Zhivago928. You're both right in, that's how I personally feel too.
I have my fair share of complaints about the US but when i see Europeans talk shit about the US something takes over and I become the most patriotic person that ever walked the earth lmfaoo but i talk shit about it all the time irl
We Patriotic in CA! TOO! I think USA has Faults like anywhere. But I still think it's the Best Country on earth. But That could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what your Comparing to what. lol That is a very loaded question!
For non-American viewers, many differences to questions like guns, and patriotism are between people living in urban versus rural areas. In those places not everyone thinks the same, but a large majority does.
Far more Americans own guns than Christina thinks. It's just that only certain types of people subscribe to gun culture and actually feel the need to broadcast their gun ownership. Regarding patriotism, the question was actually do people think America is the greatest, so it's debatable if everyone who loves America also thinks it's the greatest. Like, I love my dog, but she's not the greatest guard dog.
@@hueypautonoman specifically 32% of U.S. adults say they personally own a gun, an additional 12%, report living in a gun household. So 44% of households have a gun. I didn't google where those households are, but I'm pretty sure I'm correct that higher percentages of rural households have a gun.
@@flinx Yep, that's what I've read as well. Because of laws, I think more rural people would be willing to admit they own guns. I imagine a lot of people in poor urban areas wouldn't even respond to the survey, especially in places like Chicago where they travel across state lines to Indiana to get their guns.
@@hueypautonoman My thing is I think where people come from makes a difference in why they assume someone owns a gun. My first thought after the word gun is hunting. While I don’t live in the country most family mostly lives in rural areas. They hunt deer, rabbit, squirrels and whatever. And in my mind as far as protection a gun is protecting from a person OR an animal. I have never owned a gun but there have been times I was walking in the woods or marsh an wished I had a gun as soon as I saw tracks. People who have never had to worry about animal attacks don’t think about it. I have cousins who don’t go into the woods without protection. Another thing is when you live deep in the country it takes longer for law enforcement to arrive if you call 911. So people have to be their own first line of defense. Unlike urban areas, people living in rural communities are more likely to be related. After my cousin died his house sat empty for awhile. I asked my other cousins if they worried about squatters, drug addicts or vagrants coming in and causing problems and they said no because people assume country folks are heavily armed and so they likely know better than to come up in an area starting mess.
Let me put it this way. Is the US the “greatest country in the world?” … no . Do we have the potential to be that??? Yes. Our fight right now is trying to convince the general populace that we CAN BE BETTER. Unfortunately most of the country is caught up in the mindset that we are already the best and there’s nothing for us to change or improve upon. Many if not most of us are way too caught up in the @conservative mindset” and think we need to go back instead of moving forward and improving.
About small talk, I noticed that we Americans do it as a means to "bootstrap" the conversation to what we really want. The conversation might go from "Did you see Walking Dead last night?" to "Did you finish the quarterly sales report last week?" in a New York minute.
I think Americans like any foreign accent as long as they can understand what's being said. Some are deeply intrigued by foreign cultures while others turn their nose up at them.
Throwing discs of clay up in the air and shooting them is a sport, I think. A sport that is called Skeet Shooting and is practiced and enjoyed by some Americans. Don’t really know the specific type of American native that enjoys it. Or maybe it’s Canadians. Idk but it is definitely called Skeet Shooting.
It’s interesting that sarcasm is looked down on in the states as being negative. In the UK sarcasm is very normal & healthy for the most part, and a dry sense of humour is something I actually seek out.
@@Blueyzachary you claimed that there are wait times to see a doctor in the US, which is categorically false. Pure ignorance. Sad how gullible and uninformed you are.
Lauren is the best example from the UK 😍 I love her accent, her style and I hope she goes back to being a light blonde :( reminds me of Dakota Fanning omg
I'm the opposite; if it's raining, I just enjoy life and enjoy the day as it comes. Christina; when someone from Manchester or North of England, Welsh or Scottish comes to the UK; can you pick the accent up
We as Americans small talk because we see nobody as strangers. It started in the civil war where we all came togather. It started in slavory where we had to hide the slaves n go in underground tunnels. We realize we are better togather than apart. And also l like making friends. If l see someone l think looks cool lmma try small talk to make friends. How do brits make friends? Do they only make friends in school or work place? Because if they dnt talk to eachother then l cant see how they make friends. As for positivity. If you're happy you will be positive. If your miserable u will be rude. Lots of Brits are rude because they are miserable. They arent happy so thts why they aren't positive. Miserable love company. So why is so many Brits are miserable? If u watch Jolly, Josh and Ollie, they are 2 Brits who aren't miserable n are very joyful, bright, positive and happy. Which is why their channel is over 3 million subscribers. Because people listen to positive people when they having a bad day. I dont won't to hear a miserable Brit wen day going bad. That leads to speaking to others. Im kind to others because u dont know what that person is going through. You could have a small talk with someone who dont have a friend. Tht talk could mean the world to them. You could have been positive to a stranger who was about to take his life. And u saved it. In America, being kind isnt expected, like most people think. Being kind shows tht u got ur sht togather and that you're not depress n miserable. Being kind shows love to the world. So it is very strange that people would choose to be miserable n choose to not get to know people. Lots of Brits needs counseling. Or a spiritual awakening.
It's weird when you think more about how accents affect people. American English and RP are just different accents, none is better or worse. You are not necessarily more fancy or educated because you speak with RP, but the media and popular culture strongly enforce that and for a long time, even to this day.
@@holliswilliams8426 Mm. RP is used as a comparison as it is the mainstream "accent" when looking at languages internationally. The (stereo)typical sound of RP is what amazes Americans. Other U.K. accents' effect is a different topic.
The American girl remarks to the English girl (yes we say English not British) about wearing a “Fanny pack”, the English girl probably cringed as saying Fanny in the UK is akin to an American saying it’s a Pussy pack or something equally vulgar 😂
Notice how they normally put a quick preview of the video at the beginning but they didn’t do that here. I think they’ve realized everyone is going to watch the video regardless simply because it’s Lauren and Christina. Lol! 👍
Funny fact, the Brazilians I know who live in the US don't think Americans are so friendly, maybe that's because in Brazilians we are even too much friendly
I met an American girl last year and she was so nice but was so optimistic and it was quite refreshing. Us brits can be pretty depressing to be honest.
My idea of America is basically New York. You know, restaurants, barber shops, pizza places, some fat guy with a pompadour, a bowling shirt and a golden necklace. You know what I'm talking about
@@patrickmccutcheon9361 I live in Italy. My personal opinion, pizza in the style of Napoli is superior, big crust and soft paste. Second is pizza in the style of Rome, thin and slightly crunchy. If anyone offers you a pizza in any way different than this run, it's probably gonna be some weird thing originating in northern Italy
@@patrickmccutcheon9361 Pizza as a fast food around the world is highly Americanized. Also, Chicago, NY, and Detroit Pizza is a ligitimate cuisine, despite you hating everything that American.
@@davidcosta2244 I actually like much about the US, especially the can do attitude and innovative spirit. Less so the gun culture where you run the risk of being killed when go to a supermarket, church, school or gay bar. I like the food except for that served by the chain restaurants, especially the fast food chains. That said, there are some authentic pizzeria in Brooklyn.
I’m American and it is kind of shocking to me that people think we are very optimistic and like “go getters”. I looked onto my personal life and I can kind of see it. For example I am a full time mom, work full time, and i go to school part time and it is going to take roughly 15 years to get my final degree. Is this not normal? 😂
I do clinical trials for a living so I can continue being a full time student. And I don’t know if I ever see myself stopping at pursuing higher education with or without children. Maybe we are forever running hamsters in a wheel lol

I remember some LDS missionaries that we talked to, one was from Australia and he was very upbeat and personable and fun to talk to. The other was from England and it was clear he did not like being in America and seemed very annoyed at American culture.
I feel small talk and chatting up people is much easier in the West than in the Northeast, which can be a little colder, and mind your own business. So depends on the region.
Man Christina is an attractive woman lol I needed to get it out of my system. But yeah I missed this duo. My favorite girls I think. Might be since I’m American and it’s interesting seeing how the uk differs from us
Some of these are relatable like the small talk, I hate small talks, because they're boring, depressing and a few things more. And many people are optimistic compared to me. And in the US, it is legal to own a gun, because of the 2nd amendment in the bill of rights when Americans declared independence. The 2nd amendment says "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." In other words, you have the right to own a gun to defend yourself from any personal space invaders. Oh, and a friend of mine mentioned about his parents meeting each other on a one night stand.
i’ve heard one night stands were more common in Europe
It always humors me when I hear the term American accent. I’m from the US. Specifically the south. And southern states can hear the differences. Like, when I vacationed in Florida almost everyone I interacted with knew I was from Texas. Like, I can pinpoint someone from the UK just as easily as I could do for someone from Boston. It just humors me that people generalize an American accent so much
There are actually many different accents in the UK. What Americans normally identify as “ the British accent” is an upper middle-class from Southeastern England, but not that many actually sound like that in the UK.
Another very interesting video, thanks ladies .
In regards to question #2, I think the stereo type that Americans are “easy” mainly comes from TV shows and movies. Sex signifies intimacy, so writers use it as a short cut to try and squeeze an entire romantic plotline into a 30-min timeframe.
I think compared with the east, Americans are definitely way more open to one night stands. It's not uncommon for the vast majority of American women, including Asian Americans, who live in big cities and enjoy the party scene to have had 20+ partners before getting married.
@yelnatsch517 What really? I grew up in Southern California and now live in Arkansas and yeah there's a group or type of person where 20 partners is common but they were by far the minority. I usually saw people with a few partners in their life before they get married and even a few where they won't have sex until they are married.
Although you did mention living in a big city and enjoying the party scene, which yeah I agree it would be more common.
@@yelnatsch517 20+ is pushing it. I'd say most women have from 9-15, but there are outliers.
Christina : "No! not all people have guns in the states.Seldom in my state". Also after realising it Christina : " Recently many in my state stocking guns for some reason" 😀😂😂
😂😂😂
Lauren accent is awesome
I’d say generally, regardless of location or political affiliation, most Americans consider themselves proud to be an American. I know there’s a lot of people on Reddit and Twitter who are staunchly anti-American, but social media sites are never representative of people in general. Americans differ more in how strong their patriotism is or how to approach issues facing the US. For myself, as someone who grew up in the same state as Christina (I now live in neighboring Rhode Island), I’d say I do love my country and wouldn’t leave unless I was relocated for work or something like that. I also find anti-Americanism hurtful. But I will never pretend that the US is perfect and acknowledge there are problems that need to be fixed.
It's funny because as a canadian, I don't understand why americans still live in the US lol. I guess we just get used to where we were born and unless there is something so dramatic we need to move (like Ukraine) we just don't.
As an American I feel blessed to live here. I think the anti-American rhetoric I see online is kind of ridiculous. Often times I'll see individuals who have never been to the United States like to talk bad about it, but also I noticed that American media also loves to bash it's own country.
I'm not saying the USA is perfect, oh far from it but with seeing what my parents had to deal with before moving to USA and having traveled the world...yeah I'm happy I live here.
I'm just here to comment I agree with both Pluto and the other commentator on this response, Zhivago928. You're both right in, that's how I personally feel too.
I have my fair share of complaints about the US but when i see Europeans talk shit about the US something takes over and I become the most patriotic person that ever walked the earth lmfaoo but i talk shit about it all the time irl
Nah I'm not really proud to be American lol
YESSS MY FAVOURITE DUO IS BACK!! missing them ft. grace from australia tho
Lauren has a channel on YT (Laurenade), and the three have done videos together, too.
christina and lauren are the best duet on this channel we want them in every video .
If im not mistaken, i believe montana has the most guns per capita in the us. Likely from the sparse population. I remember learning that years ago
I don’t know about per capita, but Alaska has the highest rate of gun ownership (3 in 5 Alaskans are gun owners). Montana’s high too though.
We Patriotic in CA! TOO! I think USA has Faults like anywhere. But I still think it's the Best Country on earth. But That could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what your Comparing to what. lol That is a very loaded question!
Yay, Lauren and Christina are back. WOHOOOOO
Next video Christina 🇺🇸 Lauren 🇬🇧 Grace 🇦🇺 Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love their chemistry
OMG the dynamic duo is back!
I missed them!!
Right? Now waiting for terrific trio 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇬🇧Christina Lauren Grace
Они красивые. They are beatiful.
For non-American viewers, many differences to questions like guns, and patriotism are between people living in urban versus rural areas. In those places not everyone thinks the same, but a large majority does.
Far more Americans own guns than Christina thinks. It's just that only certain types of people subscribe to gun culture and actually feel the need to broadcast their gun ownership. Regarding patriotism, the question was actually do people think America is the greatest, so it's debatable if everyone who loves America also thinks it's the greatest. Like, I love my dog, but she's not the greatest guard dog.
@@hueypautonoman specifically 32% of U.S. adults say they personally own a gun, an additional 12%, report living in a gun household. So 44% of households have a gun.
I didn't google where those households are, but I'm pretty sure I'm correct that higher percentages of rural households have a gun.
@@flinx Yep, that's what I've read as well. Because of laws, I think more rural people would be willing to admit they own guns. I imagine a lot of people in poor urban areas wouldn't even respond to the survey, especially in places like Chicago where they travel across state lines to Indiana to get their guns.
@@hueypautonoman My thing is I think where people come from makes a difference in why they assume someone owns a gun. My first thought after the word gun is hunting. While I don’t live in the country most family mostly lives in rural areas. They hunt deer, rabbit, squirrels and whatever. And in my mind as far as protection a gun is protecting from a person OR an animal. I have never owned a gun but there have been times I was walking in the woods or marsh an wished I had a gun as soon as I saw tracks. People who have never had to worry about animal attacks don’t think about it. I have cousins who don’t go into the woods without protection. Another thing is when you live deep in the country it takes longer for law enforcement to arrive if you call 911. So people have to be their own first line of defense. Unlike urban areas, people living in rural communities are more likely to be related. After my cousin died his house sat empty for awhile. I asked my other cousins if they worried about squatters, drug addicts or vagrants coming in and causing problems and they said no because people assume country folks are heavily armed and so they likely know better than to come up in an area starting mess.
02:46 does anyone understand what christina say? cuz i really couldnt get it
Let me put it this way. Is the US the “greatest country in the world?” … no . Do we have the potential to be that??? Yes. Our fight right now is trying to convince the general populace that we CAN BE BETTER. Unfortunately most of the country is caught up in the mindset that we are already the best and there’s nothing for us to change or improve upon. Many if not most of us are way too caught up in the @conservative mindset” and think we need to go back instead of moving forward and improving.
About small talk, I noticed that we Americans do it as a means to "bootstrap" the conversation to what we really want. The conversation might go from "Did you see Walking Dead last night?" to "Did you finish the quarterly sales report last week?" in a New York minute.
7:14 Now I want to hear Christina's Boston accent 🤭
Christina's pronunciation is like proper American English to me.
I can understand what she says when she is speaking.
I think Americans like any foreign accent as long as they can understand what's being said. Some are deeply intrigued by foreign cultures while others turn their nose up at them.
I think too in america, your politics will influence if you are more patriotic or not.
I've got to say we do have guns in the UK. We just don't let lunatics have them in much the same way we don't allow blind people to drive
I love you ladies, lauren and christina😘😘😘😘😗😗😗😍😍
We need a video compilation of just Christina's hand gestures. 😆
Throwing discs of clay up in the air and shooting them is a sport, I think. A sport that is called Skeet Shooting and is practiced and enjoyed by some Americans. Don’t really know the specific type of American native that enjoys it. Or maybe it’s Canadians. Idk but it is definitely called Skeet Shooting.

Awesome to see Beautiful Cristina back & Lauran is such a sweetheart ❤️
This is the first time I see Lauren not cross legged.
A very sweet conversation. I enjoyed it.
Please, though, don't assume waving a flag is the same as patriotism.
You girls are very cute and beautiful. My mind was confusing how to pick one. Because you're all so beautiful
I think guns are more common out west than in the South. But there's a significant minority with them in all parts of the country.
In the South, the number of the police station is not sufficient | Пeрeмога Үкраїнi!

Kept hearing "Bolth," as a Texan. Hearing the "L" in both. Now I need her to say "washer."
I just loved to see the face of english girl asking if USA is the greatest country on the Earth 😂😂
It’s interesting that sarcasm is looked down on in the states as being negative. In the UK sarcasm is very normal & healthy for the most part, and a dry sense of humour is something I actually seek out.
It’s not like that. Its mostly old people who kinda look down on sarcasm but its not so much for teens or at least where I live
Bumbag vs fannypack kills me every time
You’re ignorant and uneducated.
@@fatherson5907 care to elaborate?
@@Blueyzachary you claimed that there are wait times to see a doctor in the US, which is categorically false.
Pure ignorance. Sad how gullible and uninformed you are.
Christina is very beautiful
Lauren is the best example from the UK 😍 I love her accent, her style and I hope she goes back to being a light blonde :( reminds me of Dakota Fanning omg
A British asking about one night stand being too common is hilarious to me,I have literally had loads in the U.K.
I'm the opposite; if it's raining, I just enjoy life and enjoy the day as it comes. Christina; when someone from Manchester or North of England, Welsh or Scottish comes to the UK; can you pick the accent up
I am Oybek from Uzbekistan
When I think of the first thing that comes to my mind is you Lauren
Hard not to say yes to Christina though 😏
We as Americans small talk because we see nobody as strangers.
It started in the civil war where we all came togather.
It started in slavory where we had to hide the slaves n go in underground tunnels.
We realize we are better togather than apart.
And also l like making friends.
If l see someone l think looks cool lmma try small talk to make friends.
How do brits make friends?
Do they only make friends in school or work place?
Because if they dnt talk to eachother then l cant see how they make friends.
As for positivity.
If you're happy you will be positive.
If your miserable u will be rude.
Lots of Brits are rude because they are miserable.
They arent happy so thts why they aren't positive.
Miserable love company.
So why is so many Brits are miserable?
If u watch Jolly, Josh and Ollie, they are 2 Brits who aren't miserable n are very joyful, bright, positive and happy.
Which is why their channel is over 3 million subscribers.
Because people listen to positive people when they having a bad day.
I dont won't to hear a miserable Brit wen day going bad.
That leads to speaking to others.
Im kind to others because u dont know what that person is going through.
You could have a small talk with someone who dont have a friend.
Tht talk could mean the world to them.
You could have been positive to a stranger who was about to take his life. And u saved it.
In America, being kind isnt expected, like most people think.
Being kind shows tht u got ur sht togather and that you're not depress n miserable.
Being kind shows love to the world.
So it is very strange that people would choose to be miserable n choose to not get to know people.
Lots of Brits needs counseling.
Or a spiritual awakening.
there is no small in big cities like chicago, DC....just letting you know :)
Yayy! Lauren and Christina reunited! :D
It's weird when you think more about how accents affect people. American English and RP are just different accents, none is better or worse. You are not necessarily more fancy or educated because you speak with RP, but the media and popular culture strongly enforce that and for a long time, even to this day.
Very few people in England speak actual RP as their accent.
@@holliswilliams8426 Mm. RP is used as a comparison as it is the mainstream "accent" when looking at languages internationally. The (stereo)typical sound of RP is what amazes Americans. Other U.K. accents' effect is a different topic.
The American girl remarks to the English girl (yes we say English not British) about wearing a “Fanny pack”, the English girl probably cringed as saying Fanny in the UK is akin to an American saying it’s a Pussy pack or something equally vulgar 😂

Notice how they normally put a quick preview of the video at the beginning but they didn’t do that here. I think they’ve realized everyone is going to watch the video regardless simply because it’s Lauren and Christina.
Lol! 👍
yasss Lauren's back
"I've seen some things." Lauren, What are "things"?😂😂
Funny fact, the Brazilians I know who live in the US don't think Americans are so friendly, maybe that's because in Brazilians we are even too much friendly
I think the small talk thing is more common in the southern US than the northern US.
Not really Small Talk is everywhere in the US. 🥵
I say like SO much so go smash the like button🤪
The "I don't mean it that" is priceless oh 😂😂
Real patriotic Americans do not see the USA as the best country in the world. They know there is no such thing as a best country in the world.

Well, here in Brazil people will NORMALLY have one-night stands. Whether it’s a man or a woman, people will go out at night to drink, dance and flirt.
Is that me or Christina do a lot of hand gesture? I'm totally fine with that, since I'm Italian
I met an American girl last year and she was so nice but was so optimistic and it was quite refreshing. Us brits can be pretty depressing to be honest.
After Christina called it a "fanny pack" did Lauren tell her what "fanny" means in the UK? lol
Iconic duo 🔥
British/UK accent is very sexy for me.. Not just the americans but I think majority of the world love their accent. Very sexy😉
North or Latin America[n][s]? | Миру мир!
Appre + Shit = Appreciate😂
Just love Christina's mannerisms.
You rock, Christina! 🤩🥰✨ Can't get enough of these two latest videos of the original duo .. 😄
yeah you know guys how long i'm waiting for you both to show again on this channel together!!.. miss you guys so bad!!~~
I built two night stands from Ikea.
Guess I definitely live in a different part of the northeast than her…. A lot of us carry in my neck of the woods
These poor folks really are too young to answer those kinds of questions 🤣... It's fun to watch though 🤣
One thing I’ll never tire of is that Americans call bum bags, fanny packs. As fanny is British slang for a ladies front bum.
Fanny in the US means butt.
bottle of water is fancy lol
I can't say i like british accent in general, but i definitely like Lauren's accent
American people are so excited and positive. When you talked about the American dream I remembered The Great Gatsby 😅😅 It is the same idea.
My two favorite people on here! Love the video I was particularly interested in Lauren's counter points for the UK. "I've seen some things" lol🤣
My idea of America is basically New York. You know, restaurants, barber shops, pizza places, some fat guy with a pompadour, a bowling shirt and a golden necklace. You know what I'm talking about
If you want authentic pizza go to Italy not the US.
@@patrickmccutcheon9361 I live in Italy. My personal opinion, pizza in the style of Napoli is superior, big crust and soft paste. Second is pizza in the style of Rome, thin and slightly crunchy. If anyone offers you a pizza in any way different than this run, it's probably gonna be some weird thing originating in northern Italy
You forgot the diamond pinky ring, just saying.
@@patrickmccutcheon9361 Pizza as a fast food around the world is highly Americanized. Also, Chicago, NY, and Detroit Pizza is a ligitimate cuisine, despite you hating everything that American.
@@davidcosta2244 I actually like much about the US, especially the can do attitude and innovative spirit. Less so the gun culture where you run the risk of being killed when go to a supermarket, church, school or gay bar. I like the food except for that served by the chain restaurants, especially the fast food chains. That said, there are some authentic pizzeria in Brooklyn.
nice to meet u ...all😍😍😍
I’m American and it is kind of shocking to me that people think we are very optimistic and like “go getters”. I looked onto my personal life and I can kind of see it. For example I am a full time mom, work full time, and i go to school part time and it is going to take roughly 15 years to get my final degree. Is this not normal? 😂
I do clinical trials for a living so I can continue being a full time student. And I don’t know if I ever see myself stopping at pursuing higher education with or without children. Maybe we are forever running hamsters in a wheel lol
Lauren reminds me of a British Drew Barrymore.
