@@TheRapnep idk if you're black but that's what I was getting at with the "our" thing. Black people invented all that music lol, and people don't really seem to know much about the origins of it. Most Americans like myself do in fact identify rock/blues etc. as being our music. The truth is though, that music has no boundaries, and just because genres of music were invented here because of our unique history it doesn't mean other people can't come along and bring new spark and life into it. Truth is, the brits did it better than us. You're right though that we (Americans, more so blacks) gave them the foundation, but the British changed the game.

[@Epistolary8]

I spend a lot of time on political Reddit forums. The impression I get from foreigners on those forums - usually Canadians, occasionally Brits, French, Germans, among others - is that the United States is a festering hellscape of endless suffering, populated by slaves, devil spawn, their demonic overlords, all reigning over an army of bloodthirsty lunatics hellbent on world conquest and indiscriminate slaughter. Any news about America doing something good (e.g. donating millions of vaccines to Taiwan) gets met with cynicism, mockery, or disbelief, while news of other countries doing bad inevitably elicits some variation of "at least they're not as bad as America." And more than a few Americans are eager to throw themselves under the shitter and enthusiastically agree with every point of criticism.

[@MrVvulf]

I lived in England for 3 years as a teenager, and really enjoyed my time there. When I first arrived everyone could tell I was American because of my accent. If someone got upset with me, I'd occasionally get called a "bloody Yank!". It never had the effect they intended. That is NOT an insult to an American, and it always made me laugh. Kids quickly adopt accents, and by my second year in England my accent was just like my schoolmates and new people I met wouldn't believe I was American. I lived in a tiny village (pop. 300) in the Cotswolds, and commuted to school in Cheltenham. My dad worked there, attached to GCHQ. I'll tell you one thing I learned about the English (and probably Brits in general) that Americans generally don't know. In America we don't like snitches (grassers) but it doesn't come anywhere CLOSE to how the English feel about them. Grassers rank below thieves that also exhibit all seven deadly sins, and it is a visceral hate. Luckily for me I didn't learn that lesson by snitching on anyone, I just observed it in action. People who get a reputation as a grasser might as well change schools, because nobody will associate with them. And that was at a Public School (what Americans would call a private school). I'd imagine it would be even worse at a regular school.

Americans do tend to be overly exuberant, but I think that has changed significantly since September, 2001. We haven’t quite wrapped our heads around the idea that, through the luck of geography, we haven’t had to deal with war and civil conflict to the degree that most of the rest of the world has.

I spent 10 days in Europe. The Englishmen I met said to me “it’s not a proper English night out, if the night doesn’t end in a brawl”

[@mcm8737]

never been to England, but I think they are like a brother from another mother!!!!

[@drea4195]

He's made a followup video in another city, where he does get to interview more older people. Definitely work checking that one out. Also, he's made two about what do the English think about Americans.

[@cynthiaschultheis1660]

AMERICANS LIKE ENGLAND AND PEOPLE THERE. WE HAVE A LOT OF DIMWITS HERE...AND MANNERS ARE IMPORTANT TO ALL!!!👍👍👍❤❤

[@LarryHatch]

I typed "Office" into KZbin and it comes back with "Office BLOCKS react".

[@pearlady22]

Florida is definitely not the laughing stock of the US. I can think of a few other states that would be on that list over Florida.

[@DarjeelingEnjoyer]

Mississippi

[@wolfgang4456]

california’s probably number 1

[@ATLMike94]

It definitely is for younger people on social media. People think of "Florida man" type news stories when they think of Florida.

[@brandonaston2261]

Florida gets a bad rap from Florida Man but in reality there are lots of states worst, Kentucky votes for Mitch McConnell every year, West Virginia is pretty much 50th in every subject and Mississippi just got rid of the Confederate flag last year on their flag....

[@ItsDefOver9000]

No its definitely Florida. Sure there are far worse states in terms of different metrics but in terms of perception its Florida.

[@krisschobelock4973]

I think the reaction to Big Ben is because it is always mentioned in songs and talking about England - and then you see it and in your own mind it was bigger -- I've heard UK interviews say the Statue of Liberty was a lot smaller than they thought.....pics make it look huge -- now it isn't small - but I can see where from movies and pictures it appears much larger than it is....that's all....

[@doesnotexist305]

Let me translate what they mean Architecture = Big Ben, Westminster History: = Queen, Queen’s Guard Patriotism = football

[@troymash8109]

American. I've lived in Ohio, Colorado, Georgia, and South Carolina. This video was a cringe fest and not representative of the US. This dude basically scraped the bottom off one city block and effing interviewed it...🤦

[@bigdog8579]

Brits talk faster than I can hear (understand). Young Americans talk fast now. I'm glad their our ally. I'm also 70/yrs. old. Most the actors in Hellyweird are now Brits!

[@greggrove7506]

Saw a meme once that summed up England. Said how Americans view England and it was a picture of Downtown Abbey. The how Europeans view England and it was a picture of a shirtless fat drunk white guy passed out on the street corner.

[@run4fun682]

I feel like he might have had a few more interesting responses if he asked a few more older people. Many people like me had gradparents who their parents were from England and adopted many of the British customs. My grandmother definitely enjoyed her cupa tea with a scone or something or other... she was definitely much more reserved/proper/polite in general. She also was insistant on making her home much more cozy as apposed to many Americains who go all out cold/modern decor (she hated those big bulky couches everyone gets). I havent been to the UK yet, but I always think of Cornation Street. My grandmother and uncle watched it for decades. Her place could fit right in to one of their sets. So much good music comes out of the UK too (historically).

[@mistereffyou8050]

Oh God I didn't realize how dumb my country was 😂😭 "The new England Patriots" as a Patriots fan I screamed. I think the most accurate description for Americas view of The UK is like that dad you didn't get along with growing up but you're like the best friends now. That's the American relationship with the UK. And our boys in uniform fight and die for the same freedom and often side by side.

[@jpeg8778]

No one mentioned football! Outrageous...

[@Senaleb]

I'm so ashamed at the ignorance of my countrymen. I'd love to take a boat down the Thames, see your parliment and beautiful churches. My sister went to England and the countryside and absolutely loved the rich history.

[@joelfogelsanger5773]

What I think about when I think of England is Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus, Buckingham Palace, Tea, Fine China, Fashion, that big ferris wheel thing, lots of rain, the tube, the English Channel.

[@seansimms8503]

We stopped in London on our way to Turkey for a NATO exercise in 1992, we stayed on the plane for security reasons and actually received hazardous duty pay cause the IRA was still "active"...4 hours then off to Germany.

[@Blynat]

some people just start talking out of their ass if they have a mic in front of them.

[@natelipscomb6530]

The guy definitely meant if he was going to a concert not throwing one

[@cybershakey]

Would've been nice if they talked to some older people. Benny Hill, Absolutely Fabulous, Red Dwarf ,Doc Martin & The 0ffice Blokes

[@brianbaswell5895]

Also I want visit Scotland, Ireland, and England since those are the countries of my Ancestors!

[@caterpillakilla]

that video is brutal! so sorry Office Blokes

[@Vendrix86]

yea wasn't a fan.

[@Tero92]

The thing with the big ben, its same with their statue of liberty, movies made it look huge but its really small.

[@coldcomfortfarminnit3321]

316 feet tall

[@kinjiru731]

I knew this was going to be a good reaction as soon as I saw the title. Wasn't disappointed.

[@OpusWon]

That building in the background is a new (2020) tower in my great city...Chicago. It's called Vista Tower. A 101 story mixed use 393 Condo, 193 hotel room building.

[@GD-tt6hl]

That's neat. I was wondering how tall that was. Looked really tall.
