The bit that went over his head was that the chase scene with the queen was a very accurate and very dark reference to the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, attempting to escape a crazed pursuer and crashing into a support abutment in a motorway tunnel...
I didn't make that connection at all. I'm old enough to remember watching Benny Hill when I was a kid and it was pretty much half naked women and chase scenes to that music.
And her driver was drunk! Then when she died she was the picture of innocense and above reproach. Charles was a douchebag for his affair with Camilla but hers were swept under the carpet including the dude who looks just like Harry
PFFT!!! Try to keep in mind that Seth MacFarlane writes from the perspective that many of us Americans grew up with. The sort of things that we were exposed to in the 70’s, and the early 80’s. Things like Benny Hill (the Yakety Sax police chase for example) 70’s Doctor Who, Monty Python, and things like Master Piece Theater which was shown on what we know as Public Television or PBS. -Much of that WAS the “stuffy, posh,” accent. Little of what we were exposed to, was actual British common existence. I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this. I will be back 😉
My brother in-law came from north east England. And it took several year's to fully understand him😂 when we would drink I would say Stan please speak Spanish maybe I'll understand stand you. Very hard accent. Gezz
@@JohnDoe-fu6zt I can understand pretty much all of England but was on a flight once with a Scot who kept trying to tell me something. I kept saying, "What?" and it took me several minutes to figure out that he was offering me half of his tuna sandwich.
That Winston Churchill one is pretty spot-on regarding his sense of humor. For example, he once said “I may be drunk Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.” 🤣
Americans know these are stereotypes. That's the point of the show: to make fun of our stereotypes by showing an imaginary England where all our stereotypes are true. My favorite was Prince Charles apologizing for being such a wanker (and no, Americans don't use that term, but we know what it means).

@@emilyrose9760 right, the generational gap crossed my mind as well. The creator(s) of Family Guy were mostly Gen X'ers and, even now, the show still retains a fair amount of their trademark 'can't take the heat; get out of the kitchen', offensive, dark, gallows humor etc., (though it's still been very much neutered). Although they have shelved many older episodes from being re-aired, and toned down the edge quite a bit, nevertheless the writers have found some smart ways to 'hide' many gags that simply aren't allowed to be said, nor laughed at anymore (at least not during the 'season' we're currently in as a society). Being forced to think more creatively to land a joke on a specific target while simultaneously going over the heads of gatekeepers somehow makes it worthwhile by pushing what would've been an 'okay' joke into something funnier, like the 'tunnel scene' here where the 'joke' sneaks up on you and manages to tickle that 'if you know, you know' spot in the brain. Censors have always unintentionally turned good writers into great ones.
@iviui2d3i2 FACTS!!! 💯💯💯 Love when you come across one of the few gems still around in today's world that say Challenge Accepted, know how the real world works, keep a great sense of humor alive no matter what and don't fall apart God forbid they interact with someone not "woke" enough lol Gotta protect great writers at all costs! Lol
That first joke out of the gate... 🤣.... The version I've always heard in Pennsylvania is, "How can you tell a British man is gay? No. Really. How can you tell?". I would hear this most often in the VFW club from the WW2 veterans if a British man was spotted on the TV. That generation had a great sense of humor. The only other thing I remember the British getting poked at was how they lost an entire sub-continent to a man that wouldn't eat. I always enjoy your videos!
I love @10:05 because the whole family has turned “British” Stewie has turned “southern redneck because he usually speaks with a British accent . Lmao 😂😂😂
What's also interesting is that the "southern redneck" culture actually originated in northern England, Wales and Scotland. Most of the South was settled by those people. In fact, the words "redneck" and "cracker" originated in Britain. Thomas Sowell has an essay in his book, "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" that speaks about it. Pretty interesting.
I studied in England in the 1980s and was struck by how many people had bad teeth! I always suspected it had something to do with issues at the National Health Service i.e. socialized dentistry. I think that this was likely an issue with the NHS in the decades prior to my university studies in the 80s, because I don't see it as much today.
I believe Family Guy intended these jokes to be over the top caricatures rather than common perceptions. Exaggerating things is a mainstay of the show.
@@L3WGReacts 😂 to most Americans a British accent is just a British accent. I can tell you don't have a posh accent, you have a more northern accent cuz my BF has family in the UK, we spent a summer there, & watch ALOT of British programs.
In the bar scene I think they are mocking an exaggerated “received pronunciation”, which is the British dialect Americans are probably most familiar with. I don’t think you speak in RP, your dialect sounds more street. But to an American it sounds similar. And yes, most of us have a hard time telling the difference between Australian and British English, at least at first.
If he thinks this is bad he should check the Simpsons' Brit jokes. The dentist pulled out the "Big Book of British Smiles" to show Bart just how important taking care of your teeth is.
Why is it that most Americans know that they're referring to the Princess Diana in the tunnel incident but a lot of British people don't when they watch the clip?
Your reaction is priceless and hilarious 😂😂😆. This is just a silly stereotype of how British people behave, which is why it's funny. No offense intended. We love the British ❤❤
It's all stereotypes but we Americans are in on the joke - that they're tropes. However, the worst teeth I've ever seen have been on people from GB. And Family Guy uses a posh accent because we have a tough time understanding your accent (which was the basis for the bit in the British theater).
We do love the Brits. The posh speaking... we kind of get that from all the James Bond movies and the idea that the Brits are always "gentlemen" and politic when speaking. On the other hand I've watched the British House of Commons videos and they are BRUTAL. So mean. :D. lol
In the U.S. voice-over announcers and talking heads are disproportionately brits. Most of your accents sound educated and a bit posh (unless it's cockney). We find your manner of speech intriguing and/or entertaining.
No, you, yourself do not sound like that. As a general rule, when Americans mock the British we default to the fancier accents because the stereotype just landed there, possibly due to hearing Received Pronunciation from British media that made it over here. The one exception is if we hear a Liverpool accent, we immediately think of the Beatles.
Same. And if you see Family Guy roasting Americans, it's pretty accurate and down right hilarious! My favorite one is when Peter in on a live action talk show and says: "We should all buy more American made products! Which I last checked are down to porn and cheeseburgers."
@@L3WGReacts I went to London as a kid in 1971. I kid you not. The thing that struck me the most was how f - d up people's teeth were. That was the whole joke with Austin Powers. In fact, I noticed it in several European countries. I used to call it "Euro Teeth" when I was young. Obviously, a lot has changed in 50 years. You seem to have lovely teeth.
To be fair Americans will mock American accents and stereotypes as well especially the southern Texas draw, the Minnesota "don't you knows", the Arkansas hillbilly, California/Florida surf bros, the Bronx gangster, and the Hawaiian beach bro.
When i was in High school we had an British exchange student come to our school and he was a really cool guy, we had alot of laughs making fun of eachother. He had a great sense of humor.
Americans know these are just stereotypes, but this should explain a lot: 1) Americans think British people act prim and proper, hence the polite non-objection to catching on fire, etc., 2) Americans think British people have poor dental hygiene, and 3) Americans think British people use funny words and half the time use language we don't understand at all.
OMG dude, the offense you were taking at the mocking of British people was so freaking funny😂😂I absolutely love the British accent. I live in Alabama, in the US and my accent sounds so hillbilly...lmao
Honestly Americans are bad about making fun of accents in general especially within our own stereotypes. I could start naming places and you'd probably have a stereotypical accent in mind: Texas, Minnesota, Florida, The Bronx, Philadelphia, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kansas, .... You get the point.
I was born and bred in rural North Alabama, coming of age at the end of the pre-internet era. Consequently, I have an accent that--at least to anyone under 30--must sound like Foghorn Leghorn. In the UK, everyone guessed that I was from Australia, South Africa, or from some far-flung part of the Commonwealth--except for one woman who described my accent by saying, "It's rather like Forrest Gump, isn't it?" 😮 I had to admit, "Um, he was mildly ret***ed, ma'am. But yes, he was supposed to be from Alabama." I'm still salty about it 23 years later.
Dude you're awesome. The fact that you actually used the word "posh" to describe the way they talked made me laugh. I honestly don't think that word has ever been used casually in any social circle I've been apart of in my life that I'm aware of. Of course I know it and have heard it before, but like I don't think I've ever used it in a sentence. I think the word fancy got substituted out somewhere in history for us and it replaced it. I love the English language... And seeing how time and distance changed it due to different perspectives.A
"Posh" is the standard term used in England to describe upper class pronunciation and vocabulary. Everyone uses it--it wasn't something that Lewis just came up with.

Family Guy always takes everything to extremes and holds onto the moment for way longer than necessary. It’s pretty much a trademark. That one part was about Princess Diana combined with Benny Hill. And yes, you sound exactly like that 😊
The joke about the gentlemens club has to do with quiet rooms where talking is not allowed and doing so got you kicked out. Idk if these still exist but in the US the closest we ever had to such a room is a library lol. Anyways the 3 guys were arguing with each other without talking lol
LOL I think you’re missing out a bit on the American twisted sense of humor. They’re just trolling Brits with exaggerated stereotypes that get under their skin just to get under their skin.
It's making fun of the stereotypes we have of you guys more than really making fun of you. If that makes any sense. And yes, you do sound a little like that tbh lol. Thanks for being a good sport. This is really funny.
Wanker is definitely not something you hear in the U.S. 😅 We don't actually believe that's how all Brits talk and act, and the bad teeth thing is certainly outdated. But that's stereotypes for you.
We say jerk-off, not wanker, AMERICA is now the land of teeth shaming, and FG goes hard at lots of cultures to remain on FOX and appease the conservative right whilst irritating the progressive left🗿👽🗿
@@glastonbury4304 Yeah right, I've never heard anybody use "wanker" as a term of endearment ..... and thats because nobody uses it that way. Someone must call you a "wanker" and convinced you it's a good thing, By the way that person isn't your friend, lol !
😂😂😂😂 you are cracking me up rn bruh!! You're accent is amazing and your smile is even better watching these!! They are horrible i knooooow 😂😂 in my non existent British accent "can I fancy me some chips please" 😂😂 i am THE worst at immitating accents, they all come the same, 'MERICAN lol
The thing with the teeth is that Brits aren't as fastidious about having 'perfect' teeth as many Americans are. I've seen some Americans' teeth that are so white, it's not natural in any way, shape or form.
I’ve heard that excuse from British people calling Americans shallow about dental care & teeth appearance. But we only have the stereotype for people from Britain, not for the rest of Europe. (is the rest of Europe as shallow as us Americans?)
Not sure if explained, or if you really didn't realize it but in america for years people focused on orthodontics as well as general dentistry but in UK they didn't really care about tooth appearance, just oral hygiene until the 1990s so it became a comic stereotype of the brit with bad teeth like austen powers even though the dentistry techniques are similar all over now.
I think I laughed out loud more with this video than any other Lewis has done. To see him react and crack up at the way Family Guy was roasting British stereotypes... And, "Do you think I sound like that???" OMG, too funny.
With family guy you have to be into TV and history trivia to find and understand the Easter eggs. I can see abd hear old British comedy TV show like the Young Ones, Monty Python's Flying Circus, and The Benny Hill Show in this episode. My first British show was The Benny Hill late night on PBS, then a few years later they started playing all The Young Ones, and Monty Python's Flying Circus my most favorite British comedy in my Young teen year.
OMG! I used to look forward to what I called BBC Saturday on PBS. Never saw the Young Ones, but we had the other two, plus Dr. Who, Are You Being Served, and Waiting For God. All great shows! :)
One thing to keep in mind about Family Guy is that the show revolves almost entirely around Peter; Being a 70s kid and 80s teen, his perception of the world (and thus how the world is represented in the show) is heavily influenced by a lot of 50s, 60s and 70s movies... For instance, a good deal of English/British characterizations can be found in movies such as Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Journey to the Center of the Earth and so on; The comedies of Peter Sellers, the British prisoners from _The Great Escape, The Prisoner,_ even Monty Python and other Brit shows that appear on our various PBS channels, _Excalibur_ and _I, Claudius,_ all jumbled together in Peter's confused head and thrown onto the screen for us all to laugh at.
the whole accent thing was done to more of am extreme in family guy for comedy, same with the teeth stuff. we understand not all brits are like that, but i think we do somewhat hold you all up on a bit of a pedestal. the accent sounds very fancy to us so it gives you all a more elegant air
@@BlakeN-o6l The whole 'British teeth and food are bad' actually originates from WW2. This was when rationing was going on, and had been for a few years. So, understandably, food was in short supply (as well as basic necessities, such as toothpaste). When American GI's visited Britain, they thought that that was how it always was (when it couldn't be further from the truth). So, us Brits had to make do with what we had, which resulted in meals with less ingredients and were made to be more suited for storage in colder weather.
Thanks for having a sense of humor about this. And please remember this is farcical. Exaggerated characters in ridiculous situations. This is the equivalent of Don Rickles roasting somebody. It means we actually love and respect you. I dig all your reactions. Please keep going. And remember, England has one of the greatest senses of humor on the planet! Cheers mate! An American
Omg I could watch this a million times. :) Youve watched a lot of American videoa and Ive been watching yours so much lately I almost used the word "proper" instead of "legit" or whatever. Works both ways :)

@@L3WGReacts I went to London as a kid in 1971. I kid you not. The thing that struck me the most was how f - d up people's teeth were. That was the whole joke with Austin Powers. In fact, I noticed it in several European countries. I used to call it "Euro Teeth" when I was young. Obviously, a lot has changed in 50 years. You seem to have lovely teeth.
To be fair Americans will mock American accents and stereotypes as well especially the southern Texas draw, the Minnesota "don't you knows", the Arkansas hillbilly, California/Florida surf bros, the Bronx gangster, and the Hawaiian beach bro.
When i was in High school we had an British exchange student come to our school and he was a really cool guy, we had alot of laughs making fun of eachother. He had a great sense of humor.
Americans know these are just stereotypes, but this should explain a lot: 1) Americans think British people act prim and proper, hence the polite non-objection to catching on fire, etc., 2) Americans think British people have poor dental hygiene, and 3) Americans think British people use funny words and half the time use language we don't understand at all.
5:56 I think the fact u even have a name for if it "posh" speaks for itself 🤣
1:16 yes… idc how gangster y’alls roadmen is either…😂
OMG dude, the offense you were taking at the mocking of British people was so freaking funny😂😂I absolutely love the British accent. I live in Alabama, in the US and my accent sounds so hillbilly...lmao
I wish I had a southern girlfriend to talk in my ear all day
@@zachinthehat1 lmao
Honestly Americans are bad about making fun of accents in general especially within our own stereotypes. I could start naming places and you'd probably have a stereotypical accent in mind:
Texas, Minnesota, Florida, The Bronx, Philadelphia, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kansas, .... You get the point.
I live in Alabama too ❤
I was born and bred in rural North Alabama, coming of age at the end of the pre-internet era. Consequently, I have an accent that--at least to anyone under 30--must sound like Foghorn Leghorn. In the UK, everyone guessed that I was from Australia, South Africa, or from some far-flung part of the Commonwealth--except for one woman who described my accent by saying, "It's rather like Forrest Gump, isn't it?"
😮
I had to admit, "Um, he was mildly ret***ed, ma'am. But yes, he was supposed to be from Alabama." I'm still salty about it 23 years later.
the tunnel where the queen died is a reference to princess Diana death
Dude you're awesome. The fact that you actually used the word "posh" to describe the way they talked made me laugh. I honestly don't think that word has ever been used casually in any social circle I've been apart of in my life that I'm aware of. Of course I know it and have heard it before, but like I don't think I've ever used it in a sentence. I think the word fancy got substituted out somewhere in history for us and it replaced it. I love the English language... And seeing how time and distance changed it due to different perspectives.A
"Posh" is the standard term used in England to describe upper class pronunciation and vocabulary. Everyone uses it--it wasn't something that Lewis just came up with.
The cops...actually spoofing Benny Hill.
Keeping up appearances? Mrs Bucket? Vicar of Dibley? Are you being served? We mainly get some of the oldies but goodies
The cops bit was channeling Benny Hill.
Our idea of Brits is summed up by the Austin Powers movies.
Hey brother..Im about 60 years old, a former fighter pilot and deputy sheriff in Texas and a retired airline pilot. Im a master falconer and spent alot of time in the uk and very much enjoyed it.I love your channel and seeing how you feel about american weirdness!Thanks for what you do and if i can ever help you out or answer questions, just let me know, im happy to help! -Preacher. (My call sign, im no minister, lol)
Thanks for listing your credentials. I’m about 61 years old, a former astronaut (being a fighter pilot is boring), I was THE sheriff, not just some deputy, and I’m a retired check airman, senior pilot for all airlines, and director of the FAA and the DOT. I’m a *senior* master falconer, and I spent even more time in the UK than you. I love his channel slightly more than you.

You can blame Benny Hill for most of the british stereotypes.
Family Guy always takes everything to extremes and holds onto the moment for way longer than necessary. It’s pretty much a trademark. That one part was about Princess Diana combined with Benny Hill. And yes, you sound exactly like that 😊
This is like watching Southern stereotypes or New York stereotypes, bro. Don't get mad; it's just bulls**t fun. Your channel is awesome
1:29 "Why's their teeth sticking out" as his teeth is sticking out lmao
The joke about the gentlemens club has to do with quiet rooms where talking is not allowed and doing so got you kicked out. Idk if these still exist but in the US the closest we ever had to such a room is a library lol. Anyways the 3 guys were arguing with each other without talking lol
You don't sound posh like they do. Some of y'all in this comment section are too much 😂 You're a good sport Lewis.
LOL I think you’re missing out a bit on the American twisted sense of humor. They’re just trolling Brits with exaggerated stereotypes that get under their skin just to get under their skin.
It's making fun of the stereotypes we have of you guys more than really making fun of you. If that makes any sense. And yes, you do sound a little like that tbh lol. Thanks for being a good sport. This is really funny.
Wanker is definitely not something you hear in the U.S. 😅
We don't actually believe that's how all Brits talk and act, and the bad teeth thing is certainly outdated. But that's stereotypes for you.
haha maybe a bit extreme but its close enough LMAO
Walker is a term of endearment a lot of the time
We say jerk-off, not wanker, AMERICA is now the land of teeth shaming, and FG goes hard at lots of cultures to remain on FOX and appease the conservative right whilst irritating the progressive left🗿👽🗿
Actually I've heard & use the word "wanker" as does alot of people I know .... I live in the deep southeast USA 🇺🇸
@@glastonbury4304 Yeah right, I've never heard anybody use "wanker" as a term of endearment ..... and thats because nobody uses it that way. Someone must call you a "wanker" and convinced you it's a good thing, By the way that person isn't your friend, lol !
I know there are many dialects in the UK, but the posh accents I hear in the movies are the ones I can understand.
The chase into the tunnel scene was a dark teference to Princess Di's fatal accident.
There are no British flags in the UK because they planted them all in everyone else's countries 😂.
I laughed so hard at your reaction to the “British gentleman’s club” and the throat clearing. Family Guy is known for exaggerating stereotypes.
😂😂😂😂 you are cracking me up rn bruh!! You're accent is amazing and your smile is even better watching these!! They are horrible i knooooow 😂😂 in my non existent British accent "can I fancy me some chips please" 😂😂 i am THE worst at immitating accents, they all come the same, 'MERICAN lol
We are planning to visit the UK. and I fully expect to hear exactly this when we go😂
4:03 It's called "Family Guy dragging out a joke for too long"
The thing with the teeth is that Brits aren't as fastidious about having 'perfect' teeth as many Americans are. I've seen some Americans' teeth that are so white, it's not natural in any way, shape or form.
I’ve heard that excuse from British people calling Americans shallow about dental care & teeth appearance. But we only have the stereotype for people from Britain, not for the rest of Europe. (is the rest of Europe as shallow as us Americans?)
Not sure if explained, or if you really didn't realize it but in america for years people focused on orthodontics as well as general dentistry but in UK they didn't really care about tooth appearance, just oral hygiene until the 1990s so it became a comic stereotype of the brit with bad teeth like austen powers even though the dentistry techniques are similar all over now.
I believe them chasing the queen into the tunnerl and her dying was in reference to Princess Diana being chased and dying in a tunnel
I love Family Guy! I laughed through this whole episode with your reaction.
I think I laughed out loud more with this video than any other Lewis has done. To see him react and crack up at the way Family Guy was roasting British stereotypes... And, "Do you think I sound like that???" OMG, too funny.
To answer all of your questions.....yes.
dude
With family guy you have to be into TV and history trivia to find and understand the Easter eggs. I can see abd hear old British comedy TV show like the Young Ones, Monty Python's Flying Circus, and The Benny Hill Show in this episode. My first British show was The Benny Hill late night on PBS, then a few years later they started playing all The Young Ones, and Monty Python's Flying Circus my most favorite British comedy in my Young teen year.
OMG! I used to look forward to what I called BBC Saturday on PBS. Never saw the Young Ones, but we had the other two, plus Dr. Who, Are You Being Served, and Waiting For God. All great shows! :)
You do know his jokes are funny and he's of Irish descent so, y'all just fair game.
It's funny because u do sound like that. But I am from the Midwest in the states and my accent is funny too. I love your channel ❤️ 😂
😂 oh i am ever so posh, good day to you! & thanks btw glad you're enjoying the channel!
One thing to keep in mind about Family Guy is that the show revolves almost entirely around Peter; Being a 70s kid and 80s teen, his perception of the world (and thus how the world is represented in the show) is heavily influenced by a lot of 50s, 60s and 70s movies... For instance, a good deal of English/British characterizations can be found in movies such as Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Journey to the Center of the Earth and so on; The comedies of Peter Sellers, the British prisoners from _The Great Escape, The Prisoner,_ even Monty Python and other Brit shows that appear on our various PBS channels, _Excalibur_ and _I, Claudius,_ all jumbled together in Peter's confused head and thrown onto the screen for us all to laugh at.
The cops were chasing them to the theme of Benny Hill
Gotta keep in mind that most Americans got our impressions of Brits from "Monty Python" and shows like "Are You Being Served?".
the whole accent thing was done to more of am extreme in family guy for comedy, same with the teeth stuff. we understand not all brits are like that, but i think we do somewhat hold you all up on a bit of a pedestal. the accent sounds very fancy to us so it gives you all a more elegant air
@@BlakeN-o6l The whole 'British teeth and food are bad' actually originates from WW2. This was when rationing was going on, and had been for a few years. So, understandably, food was in short supply (as well as basic necessities, such as toothpaste). When American GI's visited Britain, they thought that that was how it always was (when it couldn't be further from the truth). So, us Brits had to make do with what we had, which resulted in meals with less ingredients and were made to be more suited for storage in colder weather.
Thanks for having a sense of humor about this. And please remember this is farcical. Exaggerated characters in ridiculous situations. This is the equivalent of Don Rickles roasting somebody. It means we actually love and respect you. I dig all your reactions. Please keep going. And remember, England has one of the greatest senses of humor on the planet! Cheers mate!
An American
The Brit character in the cricket bit was based on a real Brit comedy actor named Terry Thomas, he spoke & sounded like that
omg Terry Thomas! Haven't thought of him in many years...and now, like an earworm his voice is in my head...
The Benny Hill music had me and my husband on the floor laughing 😂
Bro is trying so hard not to be mad. Good on you chap, jolly good sport ya are
Yeah bro! You sound 100% like them! 😂 Looove ur channel bro! Keep it up! ❤🇬🇧🇺🇸
As an Irishman from county cork… yes it’s very much depicted like this
Them chasing the queen into the tunnel was a princess Diana reference
8:20 This bit was actually about Princess Diana
For me, half the reason the joke about the three guys reading the newspapers is so great is because of how ridiculously long they drag it out for.
I just like how the British can turn any word into a curse word by putting "Abosolute" in front of it.
For example, "you sock" vs "you absolute sock"
It reminds me of the southern curse compliments. "Bless your heart", "Blessed be", and ... Well anything with the word bless in any form.
you want the truth ? Most Americans love the British...we love the accent
and family guy has a pass somehow to make fun of everyone....and we all love it.
PS: Benny Hill was awesome! many hot girls !
You're reaction is the f'n best for this one! 🤣 We know that this is exaggerated beyond belief.
Omg I could watch this a million times. :) Youve watched a lot of American videoa and Ive been watching yours so much lately I almost used the word "proper" instead of "legit" or whatever. Works both ways :)
Yes. Yes you sound exactly like these. 😂😂😂 just kidding. 😅😉🫠 I love your channel🥰❤❤
imma cry now😂 & thank you!!
@@L3WGReacts 🥰🥰
This is hilarious it's a gay bar. Do I sound like this to you as he sounds exactly the same way😂😂😂.
0:45 it was a bash against the British, not pubs
America is full of ersatz Irish pubs and a few British ones.
@BTinSF I been to an Irish pub. I was referring to them calling it a gay bar was more bashing the British then the pub itself
Good shit, great channel and YES, you do sound like that with the accent haha. Awesome.
It’s not that we think you guys look and sound like that, we actually know that it’s a fact.
Priceless!
Say the dumbest person
Btw I hope ur channel gets bigger and bigger! You have some talent and can laugh at urself. Good luck!
