    The most British part of this video was when the guy explained turkey twizzlers being banned and the woman instinctively responded “twat” to Jamie Oliver’s name. Now that’s a true Brit.

      That was classic English arrogance that offended me so let me be a humourless German: We actually have laws in Germany, get time off, and would offer to go for a beer or ask if there is something we can do and then we would do it. Difference is we offer tea/beer when we truly care and not just because it's standard expectation. And when we want to give more we do, depending on how close we are to the person and our personality. Much better than this meaningless British phoniness where the next day they would not even ask how you are anymore.

I have actually never met any german that I didnt go along with...so they are pretty laid back and chill, and like to talk alot about anything etc. But in my head I also see germans like upstuck by the letter and boring but I know its not true. I guess we are pretty similar, german, brits and scandinavians. We have similar climate, similura humour, simular culture but ofc big differences also...ofc.

      @@daweiisgood2392 As a German I can tell you these stereotypes exist for a reason. I myself can see how people see us as stuck up sometimes. Germans don't really do small talk or fake niceness. Most Germans actually have really dark and self-depracating homour, it's somewhat of an inside joke among Germans to pretend not to understand jokes, especially in the comment section. There is subtle cultural differences you only notice once you learn about another culture. Both extremes do exist here, which is why our stereotypes are: being efficient and humorless but at the same time beer-loving Party people.

    The emotionless thing is very much a public façade the majority of the time. Goes hand in hand with the politeness thing.
    We live hard and fast by unspoken societal rules, and we don't like it if people break those rules or if we have to even imagine that someone doesn't know them.
    An example could be someone shouting loud obscenities in a public space. Almost everyone around will tut under their breath, maybe even go so far as to shake their head or raise their eyebrows at someone who catches their gaze.
    Long story short: at home, Italian her and British him both loud and emotional. In public, she's Italian (no explanation needed!) and I'm reserved and quiet.

    About the having humour part, we have this thing called banter. It's basically when you insult someone as a joke. It's supposed to be funny and not offensive at all so people will sometimes just joke about themselves instead of other people.

    Also a rejection of American spelling (sometimes).
    British food is mostly colonial, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Examples of really good British food include Chicken Korma (from Glasgow), Apple Crumble/Pie, Fish and Chips, Victoria Sponge, and Deep Fried Haggis (I've got fully Scottish heritage so maybe this is where that love may come from).
    The British sense of humour is exclusively British. I feel like if I go to live abroad I'd really miss that.

    You're waiting for the service guy to finish the (free) car washing in a gas, station, they offer you ice tea.
    You just arrive into a new neighborhood or a buliding, you give your neighbors a package of tea.
    You go shopping to your local super market and sit to have a snack, you have free hot or ice tea from serving machines......
    You go to a café Internet, well, the service includes a free drink bar with a huge variety of teas (earl grey, green, red, black, darjeeling,).

    I’m a female Brit (South Wales, 31 years old) and I drink very little alcohol personally, but the stereotype of British people drinking a lot is very true as a whole. We do have a problematic relationship with it as a culture I feel.
    One theory I’ve heard to explain it is that during the time when the UK was very religious, alcohol was very much frowned upon, even to drink in moderation, and combined with our Puritan past hundreds of years ago when anything remotely pleasurable (alcohol, sex, even dancing!) was considered sinful, this has led to a equal swing in the opposite direction.
    In contrast, in Mediterranean countries like Spain and Greece, people generally appear to consume alcohol frequently but not in the excessive quantities we Brits too. It is said they drink for pleasure, whereas Brits on the whole drink to get drunk.
    I personally have a Mediterranean sensibility on this subject. I like one, two glasses of alcohol at most and I stop there because after that point for me it is no longer pleasurable.

    • @SxVaNm345
      @SxVaNm345 3 роки тому

      I think one of the main reasons why alcoholism is a minor issue in the Mediterranean compared to the rest of Europe, is because Southern European and Balkan countries mainly drink wine, while the rest of Europe drinks beer. Wine is 10x stronger then beer, especially if it hasn't been fermented properly, so people get drunk quicker with wine than they do with beer, so they try to limit the amount of wine they have or else their body can literally shut down.

      Just ask us, "What is the new president like when you met him?"

    As a Yank, I represent that remark! (That's an American joke.) I thought the British kept all of the good tea for themselves, because we certainly didn't get any of it. Plus, our restaurants never know how to brew it except in the South where they make ice tea pretty well. We finally have Barry's, Yorkshire, and Tetley in the supermarket so I guess things improve over time.
    Benny Hill is no longer on television and neither is Dave Allen, so I don't think we ever see British humour to misunderstand. We do still get Tracy Ulman though. Thanks for doing a video about the Brits. We love our cousins!

      Yorkshire teas the best, and dont believe that shit about needing british water.
      Whenever I travel I always bring my own tea bags and it tastes fine wherever.

      Lots of good British tea, just need to look in the imported foods section of the grocery store. And in the food aisles in stores like Marshalls, Ross,and HomeGoods.. Classic teas you'd find in British grocers.. PG Tips, Tetley as well as others.

      @Slavery was just renamed employment : And yet, there are people who are so poor that they don't even HAVE ice to throw away! It's all a matter of perspective, I guess.

    Well, since you asked, Marina, I am dying to see Polish react to stereotypes. I am also half-Polish so kind of interested which you will choose:).
