You know, I think he was being ironic and funny: Meghan Markle is rumoured to covet the Presidency of the USA; There was a President of the USA called "Merkin Muffley" in the film "Dr Strangelove". So calling her Meghan Merkin was either a hilarious mondegreen or a very smart joke. Despite all the character names in Dr Strangelove being hilariously contrived, my buttoned-up feminist Uni Drama Tutor failed to note the unsubtle meaning of either the name or the rhythmically wobbling cinematography of pitot tubes, bomber noses and cockpits in the opening sequence. When I mentioned all the phallic symbolism, it didn't compute - she only "got" Slim Pickens riding a nuclear bomb to his doom. The comic genius of Stanley Kubrick was sadly lost on her. Merkin - a wig for the female pudenda worn by stage actresses and whores. Literally "a fake c♡#t".

When you look stuff up and actually dive into a story i would have just shrugged at as being obvious, and i find myself learning something about my own culture? 😅 We are taking meta to new extremes!

The opticians is called Specsavers. Their main advertising slogan is should've gone to Specsavers. Hence the ironic implication.

They use that chemical in your chocolate technically for no reason cause our British chocolate can last a years so American chocolate companies need to stop producing so much cause no way does it take a year to ship chocolate around the USA

The scrap is funny because it doesn't mean what you thought. Well it can do but secondary. The main meaning is scrap metal which has a value for resale, so the second message is funny because our minds wouldn't go there and when they do the idea of a guy waiting for a scrap is funny.

WRT drinking alcohol, why did you do the maths by population of each country? It's the adults that it is counting.

This has probably been commented on before but the optician joke was that the advert slogan for that particular Optician was Should've gone to Specsavers! Their adverts were people making mistakes like old people sitting on roller coaters to eat their sandwiched because they were shortsighted!

The drinking thing made me laugh. I've been all over western Europe and none of them drink like the Brits can, not even the start-wine-drinking-as-children French. Head across the former Iron Curtain into eastern Europe, though, and it's a different story. The Poles and Russians are absolute beasts in my experience. If the Cold War had been decided by a drinking contest, we'd all be communists by now.

ASDA (pronounced azda) is basically the UK version of Walmart. I think they even own it, but they don't sell guns.

That drinking thing, it's worth noting they're probably talking about binge drinking on a single night, and yeah, the UK probably has the US beat there. Many people only drink at the weekend, heavily, so that 9 a day average, a lot of that would be a week of that in the space of 1 or 2 evenings. I drink far too much, I average about 90-100 units a week. A unit (in the UK at least) is 10ml of pure ethanol. So you just divide the volume of a drink by 100 and multiply it by the ABV then by 0.1 and you have how many units there are. Ireland has units larger for some reason, we've gone full decimal with ours.

Reference to the Welsh place name, I used to work with a Welshman who was born very close to the village and I once asked him how to pronounce the word and he told me that all of the local people would never say it in full. Instead everybody would say “LlanfairPG “, just to save time. He could say it in full, but as he put it “he couldn’t be bothered to say it out loud every time he wanted to buy a bus or train ticket home “.

The long place here in Wales is just the directions to the town, that's all it is and was done to attract tourism to the town and it become famous, so i'd say it worked lol. Btw i'm Welsh and i can't say it, but that doesn't bother me lol, i still think it's cool.

not quite directions to the town. it's a traditional way of naming towns and villages in welsh.. where you name it after the place you find it... i.e ' the meadow next to hallow tree where the birds chirp' etc .. but i know what you meant.... most villages and towns are named similarly btw

@@andyh6849 You're correct that it's a descriptive name, however, it was also a marketing stunt. The village was originally Llanfair-y- Pwllgwyngyll. The rest of the name was added, in the late 19th century, as a means of attracting visitors/tourists.

With all due respect most of your alcohol is safe for babies to drink. I've gone on a session with a few American tourists & had to pay for a taxi to get the poor dears horizontal on a bed as opposed to a pavement. The best USA drinking buddy was from New Jersey.
