Why America Feels So Different From The Rest of The World?

[@ESUSAMEX]

Remember that Santa doesn't come form Lapland in America, but the North Pole.

[@garycamara9955]

Lapland isn't in America.

[@ESUSAMEX]

@@garycamara9955 No kidding. It isn't in the UK either but the Brits say Santa is from Lapland as well.

[@newtron9]

*Never heard of anyone in the U.S. that had said Finland doesn't exist!*

[@HemlockRidge]

Yep. That's a new one for me, too.

[@dalemoore8582]

Rhett from Rhett and Link has said that. But he is stupid.

[@timbuktu8069]

Do they possibly mean that Finland doesn't exist in the same way Mercia doesn't exist? Just asking.

[@jerrymeadows5059]

If such a thing is a "movement" on social media, chances are really good it was started as a joke. I remember joking with my friends when I was in the service that Idaho didn't exist, that people from Washington and Montana just moved in from time to time to harvest potatoes.

[@allenhill1223]

Did Lawrence get lost in the couch😂😂😂

[@lamusiclover2264]

I am American and I KNOW Finland exists1!! Who hasn't heard of Finland??? Student's these days spend too much time staring at their phones to pay attention to their teachers or anything in class!

[@ronjones1077]

Biggest educational challenges are the DEI woke progressive teachers!

[@reindeer7752]

Social Media, the very definition of a double edged sword OR unintended consequences.

[@BrandonPerry-io3hv]

hope yall channel grows. you guys really deserve it

[@ESUSAMEX]

His point is that anyone can say anything online and generate more earning due to the more comments and views the post in question gets. No matter if the post is factually correct or not is not the point. The person just did it just to get the views and comments needed to earn more money.

[@ronjones1077]

Click bait is real

[@jasonwhoever5528]

I would make the argument because we are a little bonkers sometimes... I can't speak for everyone. YOUR RESULTS MAY VARY! 😁😀😁😀

[@RiaVersteeg]

@@jasonwhoever5528 A little? That must be the understatement of the year! Especially today when the fellon gets inaugurated!

[@Mark-r5q2o]

Regarding the two news orgs, he is most likely referring to Fox News and MSNBC. MSNBC is farther to the left than CNN is.

[@TyOneWorld66230-y]

MSNBC is pro-war and pro-g**cide. It hires on air personalities who are former CIA. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the left.

[@tejida815]

MSNBC was considered left because they reported what happened. From Joe Scarborough on up, the channel is heavily right wing and bending the knee. This is true especially in the morning and afternoon blocks.

[@paulsmith8510]

Yeah. All news seems to be super far whatever direction. Its old. Can they just read facts, stop the pharma commercials, and let the peoole use their own discernment already?

[@Lippett]

MSNBC's ratings have fallen off 37% since Trump was elected. The only reason people watched in the first place was because they hated Trump (as did MSNBC) and it was "all Trump all the time" on that network. Now NBC News has cut them loose so they'll soon be a name change for them. Their future is bleak.

[@sandrad9695]

You two will definitely get high engagement eventually because your content is really good and you’re very likable blokes.

[@Ira88881]

Likable, but ignorant.

[@sandrad9695]

We’re all ignorant in some area. But they admit what they don’t know and they enjoy learning. People watching don’t care if KZbinrs are ignorant. They care if people are arrogant in their ignorance, and BP 1 and BP 2 are not arrogant.

[@njmcd]

I have Finnish DNA as well as Viking ancestry. I don't know much about Finland and will check it out.

[@Spazzmatazzz]

Funny thing. Growing up, I had always been told I was German/Irish and that many of my ancestors were seafarers. Well, when I had my DNA done, one of those seafarers apparently had a real good time in Scandinavia and might have even stayed there awhile. 😁

[@ronjones1077]

Love watching you two “explore” America. As an admitted “common sense” conservative I’ve got a few head scratching thoughts about Great Britain. After watching what Jeremy Clarkson is going through I wonder how Starmer is still in power. I know there have been what, half a dozen leaders in just a few years due to political l in-fighting. We all get a charge out of your “dry humor & keen Witt.

[@nancysexton4364]

Not to mention the UK jails people for free speech it doesn't agree with

[@spacehonky6315]

My trashy loud neighbors have never once brought up the dreaded Finland topic in conversation. I count myself lucky.

[@starparodier91]

I remember hearing the Finland thing some time ago and from what I saw everyone talking about it was just joking, but it wouldn’t surprise me if someone didn’t know it was a joke and ran with it.

[@BigMoore1232]

It started as a joke I heard on good mythical morning. I think people are just trolling lol

[@starparodier91]

@ I remember this now! I watch GMM but forgot it was from there! Yeah it’s just trolling… but ya never know lol

[@BigMoore1232]

@@starparodier91 people believe the earth is flat so I wouldn't doubt it lol

[@davetown]

Hello gentlemen, I enjoy your commentary and wanted to provide a little extra “engagement” for this video. Keep up the good work.

[@Alan-lv9rw]

I live in Texas and my DNA is 7% Finnish. Finland must be real.

[@tbergstrom4599]

The U.S education system has been severely criticized, but when studies are designed using proper methods that compares similar samples the outcome differences are generally based on the language demands that serving millions of immigrants creates. When you compare U.S immigrant non-english speaking students to Finland's for example .... the U.S schools out rank Finland's.

[@NerdyNanaSimulations]

About the only thing extreme in Akransas right now is the cold temperatures. Currently 21F here in the south.

[@garycamara9955]

It got down into the low 60s here. Hell it's 50 right now at 1:30.

[@Alan-lv9rw]

“Jaws” was a documentary? 🤣

[@johnvaccaro7022]

Remember guys, Opinions are like assholes...everyone has one! 🤣🤣🤣

[@drewhoffman1461]

Our country has lost its way unfortunately. No middle ground anymore. People refuse to accept that everyone has their own beliefs and opinions. If you aren’t far left or right you’re not a true believer in these peoples eyes. It’s a mess.

[@allenhill1223]

You missed the ice storm in Kansas City and a foot snow😮 minus 8 two weeks kansas City been zero😢

[@allenhill1223]

It's warm today. 22 degrees

[@allenhill1223]

It snowed in New Orleans😮😮😮

And Florida

[@Wayne-v3k]

There's nuts in every country and now the internet link's them together to make one big super nut

[@claudiaclark6162]

As a U.S. Citizen I have never heard that about Finland I grew up with people from Finland they are still My neighbors My Husband went to School and had neighbors in Florida that were from Finland. I'm from Michigan anyways I have never heard that. I can go to the Globe and point it out.

[@RiaVersteeg]

That is the problem with US citizens they are incredibly ignorant of what goes on with the rest of the world!

[@ronjones1077]

I think he just heard it once and added in the comment as a funny remark

[@nancysexton4364]

Yep. Wish he hadn't mentioned it bc these guys really jumped on it (PS I was raised in Michigan too)

[@Alan-lv9rw]

Finland exists, but I have doubts about North Dakota.

[@Every_Day_islike_Sunday]

Because we are comprised of many different cultures. I love the American confidence! Or ego hahahahaha!❤

[@johnvaccaro7022]

One of my most memorable evenings while living in NYC....involved a Suomi hottie! To the Jersey boy...Finland...definitely does exist! 🇫🇮🫡

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Good.

[@garycamara9955]

Hell yes Finland exists. Lapland is in north Finland I believe. Finland is between Sweden and Russia. Across the Baltic from Russia although connected in the north.

[@SpicyGherkin69]

I think yall (and Lawrence) are old and don’t comprehend the level of trolling that takes place online. I think that there weren’t 20,000 people that don’t believe in Finland, there were 20,000 trolls

[@blafonovision4342]

I love Lawrence.

[@ArizonaGunsDave]

The whole world is one massive stereotype. We all think a certain way about many things and often times we're wrong. The United States looks at many countries through a specific lens as do other countries when looking at us. I know what many people from other countries say about us in that we're not smart, we're all fat, we eat nothing but fast food or whatever else but I also know not everyone outside of the U.S. thinks like this. It is what it is.

[@stillracer1]

Happy January 21st! Finland doesn't exist and then we have the flatlanders! We have it all here!

[@stillracer1]

It's a nice -20 below zero this morning! Gets the old blood pumping!

[@archersfriend5900]

Finland, Finland, Finland, so close to Russia so far from Japan!

[@williambranch4283]

Existence of Finland isn't ideological unless you are Stalin.

[@erichammonds9323]

The most extreme thing about the USA is the number of clicks available to content creators who massage our egos. 😉

[@sudahb]

In what context was Finland a topic? Might be more helpful...

[@happycactus]

There are some real fruit loops in this country, don’t obsess on it, just laugh and walk away.

[@barbaramattson817]

WELL FOR ONE THING UNLIKE YOU WE ARE NOT DELCATE. SAY WHAT YOU WILL AND WE WILL DEAL WITH IT'. GEE I HOPE THAT DIDN'T HURT YOUR FEELINGS.

[@pjschmid2251]

Yeah, but I think some of these guys are just trolls and they say stuff just to agitate people. They get a bang out of it they think it’s funny.

[@ronwilliamson-uz7kb]

I think Lawrence's candidate lost the election. Would he have made a video like this if she'd won?

[@Techridr]

I love your channel but I can't watch Lost In The Pond because there is never a time he's not just so annoyed by everything around him. I know its his gimmick perhaps, but it got old for me very fast. Anyway, I do enjoy your channel. Cheers from California,

[@binxbolling]

I doubt anyone says Finland doesn't exist. They might not KNOW it exists. And he said 20,000 comments, not 20,000 people who deny Finland exists. Use some critical thinking skills.

[@Trifler500]

No, it's MSNBC and Fox. CNN is somewhat more moderate, although the right doesn't agree.

[@Steve-hq4fm]

No, it's MSNBC & FOX, CNN is straight down the middle.

[@HemlockRidge]

"CNN is straight down the middle" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...... oh, you're serious

Stop with the "uneducated" stuff about Finland,talk about an agenda.I have no idea what he is talking about or made up but I have never heard anyone in my 68 years say that.
