  • Taken from his 2006 special Like, Totally... Dylan Moran (Creator and Star of Bafta-winning sitcom Black Books) discusses America being portrayed as the promised land and how American stupid people, sound more stupid than normal stupid people.
    Dylan also tries his best to explain how Arnold Schwarzenegger was Governor of California (now that's a perfectly ordinary sentence...NOT)
    Filmed Live at London's Hammersmith Apollo in 2006

    I love it when people take the piss out of Americans! As someone born and raised there I've been mocking their idiocy my whole life. It's pretty disturbing how many won't countenance the notion that they are disturbing to others.

I had the pleasure of drinking,and learning how to drink,with some of the best people i ever met in my life. Men who worked for Shanks and McCewans, Tarmac ,road company,they would troop into the pub,black as crows after god how many hours behind a (A feckin warm auld Barber Green ) sink 4or 5 pints of guinness,go home have a wash,turn up an hour or so later,swallow another 5 or 6 pints,and still have the Craik,or Crack whatever way you spell it.They very rarely had a bad word between them,sure enough they fell out now and again,but all they seemed to do was take the mickey out of each other ,behind one anothers back. Needless to say that was always funny as well.

      Marko Rollo - Yeah, that's a thing they inherited from mom and dad, who were the children of people who immigrated from the old country. It's a matter of perspective - remember, the US is a very young country. We're less than 250 years old. You're English - compare that to YOUR country. Families in your country go back over a thousand years.
      Here in the US, back in the day, when immigrants arrived, everybody was Polish, or German, or Italian, or Croatian, or Lithuanian, or Chinese, or Mexican...you name it. FGS, when I was a kid not all that long ago, we got to know each other with the question "What nationality are you?" And you were Polish, or German, or French, or Italian, or Croatian, or Lithuanian, or Chinese or whatever. Even if you were born here. Even if your parents were. There are still neighborhoods in many of the older US cities that are Polish or German or (fill in the blank), although most who have been here for two or three generations have intermarried and moved on from identifying that way, although even now some still do. We just aren't old enough as a country to have forgotten our antecedents. And as each new wave of immigrants arrive, they go thru the same process. But remember, NONE us can trace our US ancestry back further than 250 years, because the US didn't exist before that.

    I've been searching for the descriptor "Americans somehow divorced from reality" to describe some of the attitudes we exhibit for years.
    Unfortunately, being divorced from reality, I needed an insightful Irishman to verbalize it.

    No word of a lie, I was visiting Westminster Abbey with some friends and as we wandered around Poets Corner (which is about 3/4 way through) this American woman said to her boyfriend "Oh my gawwwd I've just realised this whole thing is basically where a bunch of old people are buried..." and then they zoomed off as if listening to 2 minutes of an audio guide or reading a sentence was clearly too much for them.
    Don't get me wrong, but you have to be an very special level of stupid to not have researched of even read the byline of the place you are about to visit. Or have, I dunno... Used your eyes and brain at any point? There's literally plaques, leaflets, audio guides and the stones themselves that tell you why the Abbey is important, why certain people are buried there and who is commemorated in poets corner. Did she think it was endearing or edgy to come across like that... I just don't get it and I'm still annoyed lol.

      Yep, I’ve encountered the same level of stupidity ( and ignorance) from some of my fellow Americans when I’ve travelled. It’s embarrassing. On the other hand, There are those of us who drive our families crazy by reading every little brochure and plaque and researching ahead of time whatever museum or landmark we visit.

Every time I go to Copenhagen, I have a favorite spot in front of a museum to sit and watch the (mainly) British tourists get smacked and cursed out by Danish cyclists because the Brits are standing in the cycling lane while waiting to cross the intersection....it's very entertaining.

      Try being in a World Heritage Site when a cruise liner comes in to port.
      The IQ of the area drops to single figures. They have no idea where they are, what they are looking at. Just take their selfies go to the next buffet, buy some crap at the local market then get back on the boat.
      Still they benefit the local economy.
