If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

saw an advert on a bus stop today that said "you don't have to be born here, but if you tut at anything moving slower than you you're a londoner" and i felt that
“Is this like a personal attack or something?”
@@conormurphy4328 I think it was.. and I've never been more offended by anything so accurate in my life.
@@conormurphy4328 those adverts are really good cos there is a different anecdote for every city
I’m not a Londoner but l hate being slowed down by snail-like humans anywhere 😂
When he said “when you get a good fish & chips from a pub” I nearly had a fit. The only good fish and chips is not served in a pub my friend it is served on the promenade of a beach in a paper tray drowning in salt & vinegar. Thankyou
I scrolled to the comments as soon as he said that. Completely agree with you.
There are pubs that do *really* good fish & chips though
Vinegar is gross
Nah, the best fish and chips I've had have been in a pub in London and a pub in Westhumble.
I agree (not a HUGE fan of fish&chips so I’ll only order/taste someone else’s if I’m somewhere coastal) but I’m Irish
The assumption that everything “British” is from England, Americans are infamous for this eg “I’m going to England to visit the London Eye and Edinburgh Castle”
Um because the nationality British is exclusively in the UK, which is located in England...?
@@king_fresh27 🤦🏿♂️
@@king_fresh27 You're joking right? You'd better be joking. England, Wales and Scotland (and Northern Ireland) are part of the UK. It's called the United Kingdom for a reason.
True. But also many (most?) British people talk about Holland when they mean The Netherlands (of which Holland is only a part). We're all guilty :)
@@king_fresh27 England is located in the UK. British = English + Scottish + Welsh + Northern Irish
By appointment by her majesty the queen is awarded to goods/services that the household of the Queen has used. I think Twinings is also one
Twinings, JLR (Jaguar and Land Rover), Johnnie Walker and John Lewis/ Waitrose and Partners are examples that are well known that come to mind but there are some other ones that aren't so well known.
@@shamirpatel3569 Charbonnel et Walker chocolate is the first one that came to mind

More weed than tweed? As an American is that how I think that sounds?
Lots of Marijuana, little tweed??
"British schools are just like Hogwarts". Ah yes, it's almost like the British wizarding school is based off of British schools.
Crynon posh/rich British schools are like hog warts maybe not the average British school
Well the only Hogwarts like thing my school had was houses. No defense against the dark arts lessons. Was thoroughly disappointed.
You should come to a public school lmao
@@emilyjfreer2895 hogwarts is literally based off the basic english education system. if you change out all the magical lessons for realistic ones and change OWL to gcse (its basically the same thing) and NEWT to A-level. its the exact same system
@@sethbennett617 Yeah but the system Hogwarts is based on is a system that only 7% of the population attends. And in reality, it's an extremely elite system that produces some truly awful people (Cameron, Johnson, Rees-Mogg, Farage etc.). One of the big English boarding schools literally had an entrance exam where you had to justify shooting the poor.
You can't call crumpets English muffins, rather different items. Crumpets are made from a batter and muffins from a dough hence more bread like.
Also, when talking about the accent you seem to forget about Scotland. "They all have a similar flare to them" Come on, you can't tell me a Londoner sounds like an Aberdonian
Although crumpets are still yeasted.
i mean if you listen to a boston accent and than a texan accent they both sound completely different but they also both sound American so yh it makes sense
Both are made from a batter but the muffin dough is thicker.
Crumpets are fucking disgusting. They are a weird, spongy texture and a slightly sour taste. Not like sponge cake, but actual sea sponges. English muffins are actually more of a bread texture and vastly superior to crumpets.
Crumpets have holes and English muffins don't. Simple.
8:25 even if they don’t want your tea you shouldn’t be annoyed at them and remember unconscious people don’t want tea (please someone understand this joke)
Do not pour the the tea down their throat.

Now, this is important
Don't make them drink the tea.

If you want braces on the NHS you actually have to be approved, my teeth "weren't bad enough" for free braces :/
Don't worry about it. Braces ruined my teeth, 🙄
True I had mine off last year
It’s similar to my dental insurance in America. Our teeth have to be FUCKED up to get free braces. My dentist said” you’re not going to get approved by your insurance, nothing is wrong with your teeth. “
Having insurance but it not being applicable for braces sounds ridiculous to me as a Dutchie since anyone can get braces and it’ll be covered by your insurance the amount that gets covered is different based on the plan but they’ll still cover it
Don't worry. I had to spend 5 years in mine; it was horrible.
The "british" accent thing is because when Americans say "british" mean pretty much exclusively England and not the other countries in union
It's because they don't know what geography is
more specifically, the south.
Yea am fae glasgow and a dont think a have a british accent at all
@@emmyh1468 I'm a Manc and I always use Glasgow as an example to foreigners to say that is no British accent 😂(well except RP) saying each constituent country has their own would make way more sense
@@aksb2482 yea I would say but in england theres so many different ones like yours would be way different to someone from like liverpool or Leeds or essex but it's all the same country
I’m sorry but a Scouse accent sounds nothing like a stereotypical British accent 😭😭
Yh but I'm gonna be able to tell that you're from the United Kingdom. Might not be able to pinpoint exactly where but I'm gonna know you're not fucking French either 😂
@@michelamizzi9786 😂😂 Scouse accent is the best accent
Michela Mizzi actually you’d be surprised, at uni I had two friends from Liverpool with veryyyyyy strong accents and an American exchange student thought that English was their second language 😂😂😂😂
@@elizabethk2072 I’ve been on a few trips withe British ACF and the cadets from all the other counties had a guess at where we were from. Some suggested Glasgow, some said Wales, most said Ireland, one even said the new detachment that opened in a British base in Germany. No-one said Liverpool, or anywhere in Northern England for that matter! Just really goes to show that Liverpool rly is East Dublin 🇮🇪
And geordie
The two ‘British Accents’ are both from London. No one in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland or the north of England talks like that.
Chloe Dennis As a midlander, it is worse for me, nobody understands that I am not northern or southern!
joseph cardwell no body in East Anglia
Sound like British
Not many people in London sound like the “british accent” either to be honest
SO TRUE
Which is sadly ironic because the Welsh are the native Britons (British)
Her majesty’s seal? Is on loads of food products, if the queen orders that food I believe they can use that seal. It’s on brown sauce too and probably half the stuff in your cupboard.
I think it's on Twinings Tea, right?
Jan13 most likely, yeah.
its also on all heinz and kellogs products
Its on fairy washing up liquid as well
Every royal has their own seal and if you supply a product to that royal family member regularly you can apply for their royal seal to use on your product.
Not gonna lie, even as an english person, in my head, my accent (I'm from near London) is the standard, normal accent haha. However I can't see how anyone could say cockney, scouse, Manc, brummie, geordie, highland Scottish, northern irish and like Dublin are remotely similar. Therefore saying "british accent" just makes no sense
Dublin isn’t in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland isn’t in Britain
@@DJAustay ok fairs, but as I was writing I was gonna write "Irish accent" and realised then that even they vary
@@DJAustay but don't northern Irish people have British nationality...
@@h077y Anyone born in Northern Ireland possesses dual nationality. So I'm considered both Irish and British. Most people consider themselves one or the other though depending on whether they're protestant or catholic though. It's a bit of a mess tbh.
@@mathewkerr8399 oh that's really interesting. I thought if you were "Irish" that meant you must be from the south. So are the two not properly separated then, in the way that you'd expect 2 separate countries to be?
In fairness the passive aggressive tutting is much more London. Think the thing here with dentistry is more so because we focus on health over cosmetics - ours are healthier but don't look as good whilst americans are bleach white. And it's only up to 18 if you're in education.
Frankly it's rude to make someone tea without asking if they like it.
Only malocclusion causes excessive wear leading to predictable, preventable chipping and cracking of teeth, constant ulcers from sharp edges of teeth, narrowing of the upper palate leading to chronic sinus issues, swallowing problems, both of those issue leading to breathing problems, TMJ pain etc that they dismiss as 'just being cosmetic' I could go on but you have to REALLY fight to get free NHS care now even if you are homeless, unemployed, disabled or all of those things. NHS dentists are also not always available. I also had dentists pretend to not to notice a problem until I turned 18 and then magically that pain I complained about meant I needed a root canal and had to cough up a couple hundred. I had no income and was from a family way below the poverty line, only my parent had exemption certificates, but I did not.
Also, it's a historic thing.
So, like, 19th century and early 20th.
I doubt anybody that food teeth and weren't rich then.
I live in the south west and the passive aggressive thing is very much a thing so maybe its just the south?
@@ivy6662 I wanted to say the south but I knew some areas weren't like that and didn't want to generalise!
Everyone knows that tea is a metaphor for consent
"it all tastes roughly the same" every British person died a little inside
Try going to the US 'south' where there's only one spice mix used in everything. Boring sameness of all the food
I’m appalled I just googled ‘English muffin’ and they are definitely NOT CRUMPETS
kirstin roberts you probably got the flat Thomas bread product amirite? 😂
No English muffins are something we eat in Britain they probably just have the same name.
You know like the breakfast muffins that are like American pancakes crossed with toast you eat for breakfast?
They’re common in Britain so that’s probably what came up if you got the same images i got when I googled it
@@tiffannytwo r/whoosh
it's almost like they have a different name ...
English muffins are basically a bread roll cooked on a griddle, so definitely not a crumpet
The thing with "British" accents is, there are 3 countries that make up Britain. That's why people get annoyed about it. If it's an English accent, say English accent, same for Scotland and Wales. A lot of people get annoyed, I think especially the Scottish and Welsh, because most of the world thinks a British accent is an English accent and our awesome neighbours don't like being mistaken as English! That's why!
I'm not trying to speak for all Americans, but I know when I think/speak of a British accent, I am only thinking of England, and I think most Americans are thinking the same thing. I knew that people from other UK countries don't like to be called British, and don't think their accents sound the same; but even if I did, the fact that they come from an entirely different country would prevent me from referring to their accents as 'British.' Idk, maybe that's just me.
4 countries* Northern Ireland is a country
@@stormchylde3999 i don't mind being called British but being called English and, where I'm from, Wales being called part of 'england' does grind my gears
Emily Catherine Smith no it’s not in Britain. Britain is england Scotland and Wales. The uk is britain + Northern Ireland
@@diarmuid1213 Northern Irish is part of the United Kingdom but not of Great Britain... Depends what you define as British really. Technically if you just say Britain, Scotland isn't included either, just England and Wales. The British Isles includes all of Ireland, too. Most of it is just a geographical location, but politically and legally, Northern Ireland is part of the UK.
I'm sorry OWLS are taken in 5th year that makes them GCSEs, NEWTs are the A-level equivalent.
“I ain’t seen no pheasants in the countryside”
Then you’ve definitely been at the wrong time of year 😂 they release 10,000 every season near me as game for shooting and you can’t escape them all wherever you go!
Lauren Burnham THEY ARE SO ANNOYING
Amara TELL ME ABOUT IT
YEAHHHH they’re really annoying lol
Ikr, and with the pheasants comes all the posh shooting men in tweed - that stereotype definitely rang true for me.
Also the little bastards like to run in front of cars for some unfathomable reason.
Stereotype: We can't handle the sun
Also: You can immediately tell the British person that's on holiday as they will be the only ones wearing shorts
I sat in the sun yesterday for a little bit and now have a slight burn. So maybe
It's true. I can't handle the sun. I burn worse than a red-headed vampire. 15 mins on a hot day and I can feel myself burning. The nearest I've ever come to having a tan is getting rid of the blue tone to my skin!
Yeah, the first one's true for me too. As the Big Yin himself put it, I can get sunburnt watching fireworks :).
OWLs are GCSEs *shudder*
NEWTs are A-levels. Actually, I think that’s a pretty great way of explaining English exams to other countries. Huh.
I live in the countryside and you do see pheasants but they are normally on the side of the road... dead
Dear lord, I first read "peasants" instead of "pheasants". XD
I usually see them as they explode out of the hedge a meter ahead of me. Scares the shit out of me every time!
accurate
I went to a boarding school down in Lewis and there were tons of pheasants that you could see out the windows during the night
They are the most stupid of birds.. makes them easy to shot. I work in the countryside and can hear the shot most Tuesdays .
The Harry Potter O.W.L.s are more probably based on the old “O-level” exams that preceded GCSEs.
Ordinary Wizarding Levels. Not ashamed.
The GCSE is the GCE (O level) and CSE combined into a higher and lower paper.
Evan: “well I guess if the majority of people in Scotland live in Edinburgh and in Glasgow or that general area”
Edinburgh and Glasgow area: *doesn’t exist*
Isn't it usually referred to as "the central belt"? The area with the highest population density in Scotland - including Greater Glasgow, Ayrshire, Falkirk, Edinburgh, Lothian and Fife.
'One of them is bald and old. One of them is bald but not as old.' Literally Prince William in one sentence.
am i the only one that actually has crumpets often they’re like a regular snack for me lmao
I literally dont know what a crumpet is I’ve never seen them, I assume its like a biscuit
@@blanco7726 Google it, its like a bready buttery thing with holes in the top they taste really good you should try them
@@blanco7726 If we ever meet. I will slap you for that comment.... How very dare you
They are more akin to your pancakes than a biscuit (British biscuit or American biscuit, which are very different, but still nothing (at all) like a Crumpet.) Try one. Melt some Marge or some butter on one, sit back and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that no matter how bad your day will be or was. Crumpet time will be exceptional.
Steve Sheppard I’m British as well lol, thought crumpets was just some random stereotype thing didn’t know people actually ate that except like maybe really posh people. Just googled pics of it, doesnt looks too good mate looks bland as fuck
@@blanco7726 its really good actually if you tried them youd fall in love you have to toast them like you would with bread and butter them they are heaven😳😛
The passive aggressive ‘you’re welcome’ 😂
The passive aggressive *you're when you use the wrong homophone.

When Harry Potter was written O- levels were GCSEs so that’s why they’re called OWLS
GCSEs started in the 80s
J K Rowling is Scottish, they had O levels.
@@MonkeyButtMovies1 Yes, GCSE's replaced 'O' levels in England and Wales in 1987.
@@speleokeir * pushes glasses up :) * 1988 in fact (they started teaching to the GCSE _syllabus_ beforehand but the actual exams in 1987 were still O-levels).
@@anonymes2884 Yes I should have clarified that the last O' level exams were taken in 1987. GCSEs were the 1987/88 academic year.
N.B I did my O' levels in1986 so was the second to last year. I knew kids who took the first GCSEs and felt really sorry for them as they were rushed through by the Tories who expected to lose the General Election.
There wasn't a proper syllabus prepared for the teachers and they were dumbed down so the results would look good (Friends in that year showed me the stuff they were doing in their 5th year and it was things I'd covered in my 3rd). They all really struggled with A' levels because they were dumbed down so much that A' levels were a massive step up for them and they'd never covered stuff that they were expected to know already.
Similarly a lot of those students also found doing a degree a massive step up. I remember helping one or two and being shocked at the gaps in their knowledge. Talking to friends who are teachers I believe the standard of GCSEs has improved a fair bit from those early days.
Re the kickerbocker glory: EVAN YOUVE JUST RUINED MY FAVOURITE DESSERT
I can't believe his mind went there! He's clearly never seen it [on a menu] or heard of it. There are many variations of the dessert. It's just fruit and ice cream to me maybe with sauces and a few other additions.
A knickerbocker glory will fill your mouth with sweetness
It's lucky nobody mentioned Spotted Dick with custard!
The BEST queues I've seen are in Spain. People walk in, ask nice and loudly who is last in the queue, and then go sit down with the knowledge of who they are following in the queue order lol. Perfect, I hate standing up for long periods of time just for the sake of queuing
Correction on the braces thing, if your teeth are REALLY bad, then yes you can get free braces through the NHS (woo!). BUT if you have wonky but not awful teeth it cost £2000 (?). So, though most people do end up having braces in secondary school, it is not free for everyone.
Really? I only had 1 tooth a little out of place and I got braces on the NHS
Not true in my area, braces are available for even small defects
My dentist said the requirement was 2 teeth out of place for them to be on the NHS.
Meow Kat with the braces thing:
Under 18 free dental check ups and stuff
However if you get braces or orthodontics and you teeth aren’t that bad to have to pay as it is deemed cosmetic
To get free block braces you have to have a 7mm over bite (I had 10mm) and that is about as far as my knowledge goes
Not true, at least in my area (north-east), dental work is free for everyone up until you’re 18.
stereotype: that the uk is just 3 areas, england scotland and wales
craftey minotour Northern Ireland has entered the chat
That’s a misconception by retards although if I were northern Irish i wouldn’t want to be associated with the UK
It’s actually 4 areas Scotland, Wales, London, and the rest of England
A lot of people are like UK==London.
As if the country was a big empty meadow with only London as inhabited spot.
Some people still think wales is a part of England.

My Pa once got the whole train singing Flower of Scotland once. It was near Christmas time, and everyone on the train was very very merry (if you know what I mean), and a lady tried to start up a sing-a-long. No one was doing it, so my Pa said "If ye want them to sing, you'll have tae do Flower of Scotland," and so they all sang.
My Pa tells this story to this day, a prideful look on his face.

My gran lived in Caithness, and we used to visit her every summer, as it takes us almost a whole day to get up there. There's a farm near her house, so there's lots of sheep roaming around. Of course, my gran lived in the countryside, and I've never seen free-rein sheep anywhere else.
Even when your taking about the different ‘British’ accents, you seem to still just be talking about England. Maybe mainland Britain. But a Northern Irish accent sounds nothing like a posh English one lol
yeah and you'll probably get kneecaped if you say it
J. Dunbar This one grinds my gears. There is no such thing as a ‘British’ accent and when people talk about a British accent they’re talking about the English accent. If people mean Scottish or Irish accents they say so. Britain is not a country but an island comprising three different countries.
He didn't mention colloquialisms either such as the way a person from say Sunder land talks compared to someone from Essex. The difference is huge!
Perhaps Americans like to call it British, because it’s British English? I mean, I’m American (and I know there are so many different accents within the UK), but I’ve never heard of Scottish English or Irish English when talking about the language?
If we want an option of British vs. American English for typing or search results from Google there’s no option for Irish or Scottish... so I guess we’ve attached the adjective British to account for all the non-American and non-Australian/South African/New Zealander English that is spoken...
In my day (that is, elementary and middle school age) we learned about the UK as GB. But I don’t think they taught the distinction of what GB refers to very well.
Anyway, just a bit of insight from across the pond on why we would say a ‘British’ accent.
I personally would love to learn to speak in various accents! Not just the posh English :)
J. Dunbar also, keep in mind Evan is an American ex-pat, so he is speaking from an American point of view of what we think of when hearing people from the UK. To us, it’s a British accent, to distinguish from American English. (Note my previous comment on British vs. American English.) I guess that’s what our media - film, telly, etc. - has done to us. 🤷🏻♀️
Though I grew up watching Monty Python & Keeping Up Appearances, as well as older British films so....I’m a bit biased, and definitely come from a different standpoint haha. Even my Mum infused our vocabulary with British-isms because she worked there for some time when she was younger. I didn’t learn that this wasn’t American English until I was in my teens though! 😂
CHALLENGE, Evan: I DARE you to study an accent like Scouse or Liverpool and then approximate it in your ‘Welcome to ____’ (insert city name here) - but every week has to be a different one 😉 (only the intro line not the entire video!) - and, people can volunteer suggestions of accents, maybe with some links to samples on a website or a link to a video exhibiting said-accent, for the next week’s intro. It’s okay if it goes terribly wrong, it will give us a good laugh anyway, but I’m sure it would be interesting to all your UK viewers to try to learn how to use their accent in your intro.
Just a suggestion! Cheers, and have a great day! Thanks for all the giggles and laughs in your videos; I especially find humour in the fact that you can laugh at yourself! I do it too 😂
I think the stereotype about the weather is true but it makes sense because the weather can actually change quite a lot. I'm in Scotland and there has been rain, bright sunshine and snow all in one day, sometimes within a couple hours of each other
The bad teeth stereotype is true with the older generation but most people have good teeth
Honestly I’ll accept the hill billy gun owning stereotype if we can give you guys the “hAhA bAd TeEtH” generalization.
@@king_fresh27 Except you won't, because only one of those is true and it's not the latter.
the teeth stereotype and "bland food" one comes from war. In world war 1 and 2, Americans eventually came to England to be stationed there ready for deployment, the brits being under strict rationing decided to pull out most of their teeth to make sure rations went on food not dentistry stuff such a toothpaste or mouthwash, making it one less issue to worry about and because we were on rations, we couldn't exactly splash out on the salt, pepper, spices, etc... so basically the reason for that stereotype is basically American ignorance, saw a rationing nation and thought "wow what bad teeth and omg this food isn't seasoned? absurd"
My entire family have got the "ol' English farmer" accent and I sound like I need to go and live with the Queen 😂 I've got no clue what happened there but I sound like I've been abducted 😂🤷🏻♀️
I haven't btw. 👀
I'm dying at the way even tried to pronounce caernarfon 😂😂😂
the OWLs are the GCSEs/O-Levels, the NEWTs are the A-levels
I was literally in California and like in the 2 weeks I was there I had like 6 Americans come up to me and ask if I’m Australian because I didn’t have “the British accent”. I have 0% Australian dna
Fun thing about Royal Warrants (and yeah, I think it's a proper noun, so initial caps...) - "Wilkin & Sons Ltd" holds a warrant to supply the Queen with it's "Tiptree" brand of preserves. Which means that Her Majesty presumably at one point said "Yes - this is my jam".
I would say many monarchies have some variation of official royal approvement of companies. Here in Sweden such companies are known as "court suppliers", and are often well established in their respective markets. Not all mention it on the packaging but it's often clearly stated on the webiste. They supply the royal family with anything from knives to photography services. Funnily enough IKEA is on the list, who aren't exactly known for the highest quality products, so I'm sure there is an "ambassdors of culture" aspect to it as well.
My intro: Hello and welcome back to your quarantine entertainment
I feel the isolation may be causing evan to break out into more Puns and maniacal giggles. I will be monitoring future videos carefully to confirm this hypothesis.
A knickerbocker glory is the superior form of ice cream, a layered sundae in a conical glass thing with a long spoon. The superior ice cream
The Welsh "Valley's" are the industral valleys directly north of Cardiff... in the South. XD
Also it's not just the Gogs (North Welsh) whom are really into learning Welsh, but the West (Taff) are too.
The whole tea thing;
Even if we dont like tea, we will offer someone tea.
It's just an easy social lubricant to get someone relaxed and comfortable even if you dont even drink tea, or the other person doesnt.
I think more British people don't like tea because they grew up around it so frequently, it becomes tireseme and ordinary - at least that's why i migrated to coffee.
The "valleys" of Wales are in the South, there are more Welsh speakers in the North but there are welsh speakers everywhere.
A knickerbocker glory is an ice cream sundae 😂😂😂
Probably been said elsewhere in the thread but the stamp is a Royal Warrant, these are awarded to businesses since Victorian times for things that the royal family believes to be exceptional craftsmanship, it can be anything from clothing to food and just means that companies can prove their products to be of high enough quality that the queen would use them. They also get the warrant taken away if the warrant comity believes that standards aren’t being upheld or the company has done something the royals don’t condone
So the line to the throne is; Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles (her son), Prince William (his son), Prince George (his son). Prince Phillip is the Queen's husband and Prince Harry is Prince William's younger brother (the ginger one).
"yeah schools are like Hogwarts"

Nah
Schools are messed up over here
The "valleys" in Wales is the old coal mining area, which is in the South, not the North. I was under the impression that the valleys is one part of Wales where Welsh is NOT widely spoken.
True!! I live in the South Wales valleys and the level of welsh spoken is very low although lots of us can speak basic welsh with small phrases. West wales around the Swansea to Pembrokeshire area speak a lot more welsh
0:44 Many products made and sold in the UK have that Royal Warrant on, it just means it’s approved and recognised by HRH the Queen and Duke of Edingbourough. A company would have had to sold products for at least five years, and have an ongoing trading arrangement. I’ve seen this on loads of products ranging from food & drink to Samsung tech, Christmas crackers, Cartier bracelets and clothing. I’m not sure if i’m just an observant child, or if people do realise what there consuming.
knickerbocker glorys are basically an ice-cream sundaes.
the symbol on the squash means the royals consume that product
A friend who lived in the UK for about 20 years and liked it for the most part, started to really hate the phrase "I'm so sorry" because it basically just meant "I don't care and I'm not going to do anything about it." A more accurate version of the phrase is the one from Little Britain - "The Computer says No."
On the accents, the Scottish accents aren’t anything like the English accents. And woe betide anyone who calls the wrong Scotsman ‘British’. That’s the wrong description for 45% of Scottish people. A bit like calling the wrong Englishman ‘European’. Geographically correct, politically... unwise.
The ‘British accent’ is basically Received Pronunciation which was made so that during nationwide radio and tv broadcasts everyone would be able to understand- nowadays people basically call it the queens english
As a Brit the talking about the weather too much thing is just usually for small talk or if we want to talk to someone but are awkward so start with that and go from there. It's mostly just used as a conversation starter.
When you live in Essex and know it really is 70% chav 👁 👄 💧 👁
Marmite has the appointment of the queen stamp too...
The drunken singing thing is pretty nation wide I think. My friends and I are only 15 but we’re acting drunk on our d of e and sing ‘we are young’
The royal thing on squash is that that squash brand is what the royal family would buy. Every food product has them, like sugar, flour, eggs etc. And a knickerboker glory is an icecream sundae
hey! i love your videos and you’re such a big inspiration for me to make more content. my favorites are the ones you make about germany or german
Thank you so much!!
The "By appointment..." stamp is literally on loads of food products. It's a mark of quality.
my (British) school is A LOT like Hogwarts;
- we have 4 houses with the Hogwarts colours and fancy names
- we have prefects and heads of houses
- we have house cups that are presented at the end of the year in a speech day that lasts 2 hours
- we have forms not grades or years
- we have common rooms
- the main building is a castle
- we have ugly uniforms
- bording is optional
- you cannot have a packed lunch only school dinners
- there are certain staircases and rooms in said castle that are strictly out of bounds
- we have rooms with weird names like 'green room'
- the castle is full of old paintings of previous headmasters and posh people
(there is probably more)
The 'british accent' thing really gets on my nerves.
Really people should use "a British accent" rather than "the British accent".
Most people will not let anyone skip in front of them in the UK. I don't know anyone who would stay quiet...
From one American to another, it's called a Trolley not a shopping cart
I grew up in wallsall it isn't worth a visit, I'd say its probably one of the worst towns in England.
Me too. If you meant Walsall.
Isthisjustfantasy 75 yep I meant Walsall
" I ain't seen no Pheasants". The are bred and then turned loose for hunting so in the South and South-West at least, there are bloody loads of them at certain times of year. And they are horribly stupid, so they are frequently hit by cars. Such a pain.
The queen stamp thing is a sign of her Royal Patronage. The Queen supports various UK based companies and they can use her Coat of Arms. Waitrose has both her coat of arms and Prince Charles'
“Welcome to the Snorlax bed”
there's a togepi too he's just chillin right outside the shot
Evan Edinger I want one of those bed which looks like a Snorlax
I don’t know if anyone else had a better explanation of the British appointment stamp, but like I think it goes to food and drinks who made significant contributions to the British food and drink industry, like Hp sauce, Robinson’s squash etc.
I'm also SO surprised that you never saw the by appointment stamp before. It's on so many things.
A knickerbocker glory is a layered ice cream sundae that is served in a large tall conical glass, and to be eaten with a distinctive long spoon, particularly in the British Isles
As a person from North Wales the Welsh bit at the begging made me 😬 'The Valley' is South Wales and you pronounce Caernarfon as "Ca-na-von" not "Cen-er-fun" 😂
You’re still too American to be certifying some of these stereotypes sorry xo
Maisie Tucker how long does he need to live here for that, he’s been here for AGES
Varuni Parihar I’m guessing you’re American. A lot of the things he says are true but a lot are still not exactly true and I’ve been here my whole life so I think I know how to be British more than him 😂
Maisie Tucker I’m actually English and he’s been here over five years and has citizenship, also, what’s not true, because you know he IS reading off of reddit? x
@@varuniparihar3618 no citizenship yet actually
Jake Watson he passed the test like a year ago, he has a video on it
The warrant is on many British products- not just food, clothing jewels you name it- it is prestigious, but what most people don't realise is that the royal family get as much of these products as they want for free, not a bad perk.
All Welsh ppl are forced to learn welsh in school, but it’s not like ppl in South Wales are fluent. But in the north west they speak welsh fluently in the main
Yeah that stamp is on a lot of things, like mcvities digestive and heinze ketchup
I live in the somewhat countrified north- lots of sheep, phesants everywhere and I know the locals who go shooting (some posh some just very rural), my grandfather is a tweed wearer (he wears a worn out one waistcoat and all to garden), Sunday night tea when my grandparents visited was often crumpets and a cup of tea. A lot of those stereotypes are kind of true round here... I think they're a lot less true in London and bigger cities but hang on a bit more the more rural you go.
A knickerbocker glory is an ice cream sundae
I suspect the teeth thing comes from before NHS when dentistry was not freely available. But, I'm American, so what do I know.
Knickerbocker glorys are just a variation to a sundae, in just a super tall glass. It's ice cream covered in sauce with fruit on top- esp like tinned fruit
The by appointment is called a royal warrant, it means the firm that makes squash, robbinsons supplies the Queen with something they make , the prince of Wales also awards one. We used to have a school dentist, that would visit our school for a few weeks a year i had a free brace for my teeth.
I live in the Welsh Valleys and I can see three different flocks of sheep from my window. So, the sheep thing is entirely true. We have three times as many sheep as we do people.
In the UK we have specific times when the electricity production is ramped up due to the sheer amount of people putting the kettle on after coronation street finishes
It's the royal warrant, it's given to companies from all sectors if they work with/for or supply the royal household.
Those "By appointment to..." things are from a Royal Warrant of Appoinement, which means that company is allowed to advertise that it supplies a royal household or certain royal persons. A thing _might_ be used by the Queen herself (or whoever else it might be), but it can just as easily be used by staff, or it might be kept for use by guests, etc.
OMG sometimes I hate all the British stereotypes like I hate tea and I’m not posh what so ever.
Plus a knickerbocker glory is a delicious mixture of fruit and ice cream served in a milkshake glass with whipped cream and a wafer, you are not British until you go down to your local ice cream bar on the seafront and order one of these !!!!
They are honestly to die for !!!!! 🤤🥰
Plus I love your videos, they are really fun to watch and see all the differences between the English and American culture ! X 😊
Oh please, the north is not the valleys. Someone once told me (quite seriously) that the Welsh don't dance. Yup, !there isn't even a word for it in Welsh. Dick van Dyke's transatlantic abortion of mockney is infamous, however we have at least 30 English dialects / accents and three or four native Celtic languages, which have at least two dialects each.
evan: *talking about turning down tea*
every british person who had to watch the “tea video” in secondary school: 👁👄👁
They don't allow everyone under 18 to have braces. The dentist decides whether you need them or not. If they say no you would have to go to a private dentist.
Occasionally you say words like "alright" and "what" unintentionally in an RP accent and it's like whiplash,, my mind for a second latches onto it like, is he one of us now??
This isn't a stereotype, but merely an odd remark that I'm about to make. I believe that the majority of people in the world who make tea are doing it wrong. I would never leave the teabag in my cup while I drink it. Does anyone else think that's weird or just me?
