American Reacts to Things Brits are REALLY Good At

Check out me and my twin brother reacting TOGETHER here:
/ @ryanandtyler
Every nation seems to have the things that it is known for and today I am very excited to react and learn all about the things that Brits are really good at. I am not exact sure what we are about to see here but I am ready to find out. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!

When it comes to Brits playing Villains, one of the greats of that, Alan Rickman (Snape in Harry Potter and Hans Gruber in Die Hard) was asked why he does the villain role so often. He only gave a scaving look at the person and answered, "I do not play villains, I play very interesting people." That tells you why British actors do it, it's bloody fun. God I miss Alan Rickman and Christopher Lee.

Mary Thurlow. I can't help wanting to correct peoples comments either. One of the most irritating is people who insist on spelling 'you're' as 'your'. Maybe it's laziness. There is also 'there's' instead of 'theirs' etc. A lot of the problem stems from the stupid autocorrect which insists on auto correcting a correct word to be incorrect. Even after you have corrected the auto correct 'mistake' by proof reading as soon as you turn your (you're - ha ha) back it auto corrects it back again just for a laugh. The main problem is if you're (your - ha ha) using a mobile phone it's (its - ha ha) very difficult to proof read on the small screen and scrolling is very awkward. Some people just 'wing it' I know I do occasionally. Once you post your comment it's too (To/two - ha ha) late and it's out there! Of course, there are people who are just uneducated. Keep up the good work!

The expression 'bloody good at ....' was considered swearing in the 50-80. Nowadays it's 'fucking good at ....' is not used in polite society. There are people who don't like or purport not to like swearing. My ex wife used to go mad whenever I swore. This only encouraged me to swear even more, which explains why she's my ex. Mind you, she was/is a raving (bloody) snob. I didn't know Tolkien was british? But what do I (fucking) know?

In relation to point 1: Most actors in the UK go through theatre school and then through theatre and Shakespeare to then be in films. That is the pipeline for our talent getting into films, its through theatre, rather than through TV. They also provide the perfect opportunity to not only play the hero but to play people who are bad/mad, e.g. macbeth etc.

[@stevebagnall1553]

It's a long but worthwhile apprenticeship which gives appropriate rewards when learned well.

[@littlewoodimp]

Also, around London theaters is a great place for 'Star Spotting'. We'd often see the likes of Judi Dench, Helen Mirren and the glorious Maggie Smith popping in and out to the shops. Just grabbing a sandwich right next to you (Helen Mirren really is *that* beautiful close up and smells divine). Judy Dench has often said in interviews what a good educational and grounding experience live theater is. Plus, if the play does good business, the hours are regular and without all the boring hanging around that happens on movie sets. It's definitely not a poor second to being in movies.

[@torroberts6622]

Whenever Americans consider historical buildings in the UK, they invariably think of 'castles' immediately. That's a very tunnel visioned view - we have thousands of buildings in the UK from museums, through government buildings to stately homes that are themselves older than the USA itself. There are even lots of everyday houses, shops etc. which were built even before the continent of North America was discovered.

We are taught to be modest and put others first. Our parents and grandparents give us good examples generally, but not always! Being an extrovert is not something we enjoy. Our music scene has always been outstanding. As for british actors being good villains, it is the diction and timing that theatrework gives a great actor. Listen to the crispness of their voices. Nobody makes a decent cup of tea like we do. Tea can mend hearts and fortify brave actions, it calms and it soothes the soul. But we really enjoy a good queue! Fairness and patience, as clearly demonstrated by the queue to pay respects to our late Majesty the Queen.

I'd say self-deprecating rather than modest 🤔 The villain thing is definitely real.

British inventions: I'd like to include Swann for the light bulb, but that would open up a can of worms. The aircraft carrier (though the Japanese built the first one as a purpose-built design, we had ships enough to convert our first ones from other ships). Improvements for the aircraft carrier; the steam catapult, the arresting wire, the angled deck, the mirror landing sight. Moving pictures (the sequence of frames on a strip of film kind) but not doing anything with it. Can't recall the poor man's name. Ironically, there is a British movie about him and what happened. I'm being precise here: inventing and running (not building or flying) the jet engine first, but not putting it into an aircraft until after the Germans. Look up Frank Whittle. Again being carefully precise: the first un-powered man-carrying, guided flying machine (Sir George Cayley's glider, with his coachman being the first pilot of such a device). de Broglie discovering important parts of quantum theory in parallel with Neils Bohr, Werner Heisenberg and his other students, sending / giving them an alternate proof as a scientist should and so confirming and extending the field.

I might get my citizenship revoked for this but I actually liked the US office more than the original- don't get me wrong I think the UK office is great too, and an important series for tv history and influence, but the US office is a comfort show for me

Many people (immigrants) came to Britain after WWII as there were not as many living workers as there used to be (the government could pay them less being the main reason it was encouraged, and they still try to make them go home again today), they brought their own music and songs, which mixed with the British working-class musicians, and re-created the entire British music scene from the bottom up.
