You are NOT annoying Joel! You have a great, welcoming personality, warm and engaging voice and perfect level of American accent (for this Brit) :)
I'm a charming old British granny, and I don't think you are annoying!
We dont think you're charming 🤗
You beat me on being a Granny - Iam 71 but have no grandchildren (just three surviving children) but I agree regarding Joel.
Hi Joel - just wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed watching your "American Reacts" videos over the years. You have a very engaging manner and your accent is very pleasant. I speak as an Irish citizen who came to live in the UK over 50 years ago at the age of 23. I have travelled and worked in USA, France, Netherlands and Belgium but love the UK most of all - probably the most civilised country in the World. Living 30 miles west of London in Marlow (South Bucks). Keep up the good work.
I am still here, so you are not annoying at all. People either take you or leave you.
That was really nice. I've found the same thing when visiting in both the UK and the US. If you strike up a conversation, 99% of the time you'll end up meeting some wonderful people.
Awww JP you are my favourite American! I am old enough to be your Nana, but I've enjoyed watching your videos since you started your channel. You come across as a very grounded and intelligent young man, who enjoys learning....and also having a good pint.. followed by Fish n Chips!!!.....and a cup of tea!!!😅 Lol.....your surrogate Nana, from Liverpool, now living in Cumbria!!! Both places you have been too xxxxxxxx
You are certainly not annoying, in fact, you are quite humble in a refreshing manner...UK
The older ladies were right! We (Americans) love to hear all the British accents!👍👍😁
You are never annoying. You're a real little charmer! ❤
I cannot believe someone called you annoying, Joel. You are fair-minded, tolerant and have a good sense of humour. You have an endearing ability to laugh at yourself but you have a clear sense of affection for your home country and so you should have. It has its faults, which you readily admit to but then so have we here in the UK; no country is perfect. Your appreciation of the UK is really gratifying. As for your American accent - keep it going bro; honestly, it’s just fine 👍and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
I have spoken too quite a few Americans in London and I liked them all the stereotype of them being loud is true but very nice people
as a Brit myself may I say yes a little fat and a little loud, but we love you, you are our cousins
Nothing wrong with your voice!
And I appreciate that you don't scream into the microphone like many US Americans do
Yes I can think of at least two...but it's not my place to name / shame them... (one in Indiana, one in Kentucky, is all I'll say!!)
Great video amd your definitely not annoying at all 😌
This happened to me in LA. I was used to the "Have nice day" line. Polite, if a bit sugar sweet. Exiting a small shop. " Excuse me sir. Missing you already." Overkill?
Yes Joel you are annoying because you destroy our preconceived stereotypes of Americans! You are good looking, slim and intelligent and worst of all extremely likeable - damn 😂😂😂
Are you flirting?!
😂😂😂😂I like it
.. and why not? lol😊@annother3350
@@annother3350you jealous??
That’s a yes!
Stereotypes do usually have a basis of truth though it can be outdated.
I remember talking to an American tourist in Blarney Castle back in 1960. He was dressed in the then standard American tourist outfit, Rupert Bear trousers etc.
The joke was he knew it and asked how we realised he was an American, he asked if his watch band gave him away.
Surprisingly us native London/Southerner’s can be friendly! 😄
Joel, you're not at all annoying, you're a lovely person.
You come across as a good guy and not as annoying American because you are keen to learn about our culture 😊
I haven't met many people from the States but those that I have met have been great to talk to and have a great sense of humour!
The Americans do get English humour and aren't all fat.They can be loud(big country to talk across)defineately not stupid.They are interested and engaged.Joel being one of many.and I loved his Yorkshire accent on going to the pub😂😂😂 brilliant.And Joel your accent is easy on the ear.And the humour from old American films..hilarious,witty.Like all nations and all people its the perception.😊😊😊
Glorious
The older gals were probably waiting for bingo to start 😂 brits love a good laugh over stereotypes even our own
When the effectiveness of psychotherapists was investigated a while ago three factors were found to be highly associated with successful therapy. These were warmth, genuineness and empathy. I have found that these factors also matter in personal exchanges in everyday life in any cultural setting. At the risk of being ingratiating, I would suggest that these three are also key to the success of your channel, Mr. Simpson.
What lovely man you are
I don’t really understand why us British people feel we have the right to call anyone fat, loud, bad at geography or whatever because we have enough here who are in those categories.
When I’ve been to America I’ve visited museums when school children were on a trip around them and they were well behaved and l didn’t see one child who was overweight 🤷🏻♀️ I’m not saying there aren’t any just that in a lot of countries you’ll get people who enjoy big portions of food or get shouty, can’t find their way off a car park. 😂
I'm a chatty person, but am starved of conversation when I go out, everyone is on their phone 🤦♀️
I spoke to someone at the bus stop recently, just being friendly, he took out the ear plugs I hadn't spotted, in a huffy manner, and said , "do I know you?". I was a bit dumb struck, but that is the modern generation I am afraid. They are going to be very lonely in years to come. It's sad 😢
You are very warm hearted Joel, so there is hope for some of your generation 😊
You're an American. I don't expect you to sound like a British man. I don't find your accent, bad. You're easily understood. I've personally been to the USA, many times. Have you ever seen an American person's reaction, to a black English Person ?
The older generation will chat at any opportunity, i got chatting to a lady in asda guess what ot was about ....the weather 😂. Bless her she was sweet .
In Cardiff we all talk to each other and it's a big ish city.
I've spent a few days just watching your videos 😂 I need to have a break lol x
As someone who is British - I love American culture, love the food, WWE and American movies/music. 😂
You have a lovely voice 😊
Hi Joel , this is an interesting one. I think on the whole us Brits like friendly but we do not like or fall for non genuine comments like "missing you already" from people , if someone said that to me I'd spend the rest of my days trying to avoid them !! Comments like these are guaranteed to get our backs up , we do not like over the top false displays of affection. Keep up the great work my friend , you are the perfect balance between the British and American personalities !
We're already growing the boney point on the back of the skull from looking down at phones and laptops. You were wondering about our bodies changing from looking down.
I've been lucky enough to visit America a few times and really like the people. If i hear an American accent in the UK i will always strike up a conversation . Joel you are not annoying your success on this channel proves that 🎉
I think what Americans have to remember is what we find "annoying" about you is actually what we actually quite like about you
To most of us Americans are loud and make themselves known. We pretend that we don't like that but secretly we love how confident & friendly you are.
Happily I long ago banished those stereotypes about Americans from my brain. I went to work at a DODDS High School in UK and learned for myself that the majority of Americans are genuinely kind, generous, humane, funny and personable. Like all of us, they tended to believe that the US way was right and anything else was wrong but of course it's vice versa for us.
Joel you are definitely not annoying. I love listening to you and your accent. 🌟🌟🌟
Joel, regarding food sizes; we can see a lot of USA videos where the sizes are huge and it never really gets spoken about unless it's mcdonalds, usually the fries and drink sizes. Very rarely we get to see people commenting on the portion size of regular British food. Do you notice the difference when you're eating at say a British pub vs what you'd normally expect to be served in the USA? I sometimes see tacos being ordered/eaten by americans and it's not something I would personally buy as it doesn't seem like a lot of food, and that's coming from a brit.
Brits should admit that we have lots of fat people in the UK, and they are getting more and more obese. Regarding Trump - what can you say - are 72% of the US voters really daft, or just not listening to him. But we in the UK seem to be following that trend, because Farage, who loves Trump, is predicted to be our next PM. God help us. The accent 'thing' is spot on. Joel, your accent is great, and you're smashing chap. Cheers ! Sheffield South Yorkshire.
i think you are a great ambassador for your country, unlike some of those in more prominent positions at the moment.
Aww! Lia is flipping amazing. I remember them. Joel is on his own thing.
But I will add and Lia will agree, even the stereotypes Americans have about UK do stamp from somewhere but more so about generation and location.
I find that Americans always sound very natural and comfortable when speaking to a group or being recorded. Myself and many other Brits just don't, particularly us Yorkshire folk. We might sound confident and natural when speaking with friends but as soon as we know we're being recorded we sound terrible, and it's not something we can control. I think it's subconscious 😂fellow Yorkshiremen, you will know what I mean. Ever heard your own voice being played back to you?
Americans are loud compared to Brits because they speak more from the diaphragm rather than from the head like Brits do, and also because Brits have the reserved character where you try to keep your conversations to yourselves and not talk so loudly as to disturb others.
If this video was to be made today, the first stereotype to appear, whether the interviews were carried out in the UK, Canada, Australia, or in most of Europe or Central America, would be of Americans as schoolyard bullies.
Jp as for accents, I listen to a lot of short stories on podcasts I usually prefer an American narrator easier on the ear
Interaction is typically done via social media and a text message nowadays and seems pretty much abscent from everyday contact with people, however i always acknowledge people when im passing and say hello regardless maybe thats just a Northern thing i dont really know.
My daughter in law is from Long Island, she has a lovely listenable accent. She lives in the UK, Trump was a factor in her move here, first time round
Big country so many different local oddities that you can't generalize. But as a half brit taught by many american teachers they do think that just by being American they're better than the rest of the world and the epitome of democracy and freedom which is tosh
I go to a pub near Heathrow near where I live and my local and so a lot of Americans pass by for the pub experience and I'm always very nice to them.
England is very popular with Wisconsin folk apparently xD
I ;live near Heathrow, as well . Name of the Pub? Most American's don't travel, overseas. Unless they're in the military. Then they live on base, and tend live in a mini America. The children go to school, on base, speak with American accents, even if born overseas. They go shopping on base, everything is done on base. The other travellers, tend to mostly be over 50. Then its seeing all of Europe, in 10 days.
We brits if we go to the USA, we tend to stay in Villas. Hirer a car, go shopping at Walmart, Publix , Target. We want to get out and about, meet people, see the area. Were not going to the USA, for less than two weeks.
@@annettemaxwell3816 You obviously haven't watched an American Military Couple who do youtube vids......"Daydreamers Bound".
@@Dave-r4u you werent paying attention either............its daydreamers barn
@@Dave-r4u LOL my Paternal Grandfather is American. My parents have owned homes in Philly and Florida. I've family that joined the US military. I've been to the navy Yard in Philly. Forts Dix and Bragg in the USA, MORE THAN ONCE, I've also been a visitor to the American base in Ruislip and Lakenheath. Unlike you I deal with real life, not Hollywood.
@@bonvoyage5377 Well Mr know-all, that is what I put first. However I went to their page to double check their name, and it said Dayreamers BOUND, so it must have been an earlier page they started, and then changed the name!
Hi Joel, love watching your videos. You asked for suggestions so I'm suggesting Billy Connolly and "the old lady on the bus". Scottish accent is a bit strong but I know you'll cope with it.
Well as long as you don't annoy Denmark you will have access to fat busting drugs. I wonder how many of these have actually met Americans. My dad was Canadian, and I was born there but raised in the UK by a British mother, so I've met many Americans and most of them were genuinely nice people.
Americans love them, I have so many friends over the years, in fact one of Oldest one I have I known since 1976.
Politics, religion and money are best left out of any random poll.
Talking about nice nans and grans, Joel, perhaps you should ask Catherine Tate’s ‘Nan’ what she thinks about Americans - then, cover your ears!!! 😂
I don't think you're annoying mate - I think you're quite charming and I love how your friends get involved and watch the videos.
One thing that does annoy me about the USA folks is they know all about their RIGHTS but nothing about their RESPONSABILITIES.
You sound great x
I like Americans, most of those I've met are friendly. I love Anerican music, TV and movies, I always have. I was raised not to judge people by race, colour or religion but by their personality. I love your reactions by the way.
Nah Joel you're too polite, open minded and naturally intelligent to be annoying. As mentioned below the nothern bits of the England are just that bit more open to street corner conversations, I've had two myself just today, nothing of great consequence just a little bit of oil on the social wheels. As you say it is becoming a bit of a dying art at the moment.
On accents some of the US midwest/western slow speaking accents that just roll out like distant thunder I find really easy on the ear compared with the strident NY accent. As for the UK Geordie I can listen to for hours even though I can hardly understand some of it. But to nail my colours to the mast a Scots accent nails it for me but having a Scots Da means I'm just that bit biased.
Great choice again of video Joel.
I have no problem with American people never have never will you might get bigger portions in McDonald’s but we get ripped off over here 😂😂 British humour there ❤
The Northerners are by far more friendly than us down here in the South, and I find that the Scots and Irish are very friendly. When my grandparents immigrated from Jamaica in the late fifties, they were struck by how friendly the Irish were towards them.
Are you in London? I live in the south and people here are very friendly
@bclark5794 I was born and raised in London. I find that Londoners are more reserved, including myself, it is not that we are not friendly we take a little while to warm up.
Joel your voice is very soothing and not abrasive at all! X
I have met American’s in Hong Kong and basically had to school them about manners because they felt like the world was theirs!
Was in a taxi cab and the American people were too focused on arguing with each other rather than getting a grasp on the situation..
Being in a taxi in the middle of Hong Kong a business hub of the world…
The taxi driver just wanted to get paid because he drove from Kowloon to Hong Kong island and that was his living..
Being a Welsh Lad 🏴
I totally got it!
I came from nothing, still am really…
But to not acknowledge differences in culture while travelling is so inconsiderate and damn right ignorant! X
I’m not saying that’s you Joel! X
I also factor in states within America! X
Joel, you’re very adept to different cultures from around the world, and this I like very much! X
Some states in America seem to only think and believe they exist and that’s all they know..
And these are the people that give Americans a bad name I guess.. x
I always take the Starr Ferry rather then a taxi....when I'm in Hong Kong 😊 Best wishes from England UK 🇬🇧
Suggestion, Mr Simpson:
Start with 2 sentences about the weather in Maryland: example
Hi guys, what's going on ...
It's 15 degrees Celsius here with light rain/sunshine/snowfall
❤ You're not annoying or too loud tho some are! ❤
I don't think that the art of conversation will be dying in Australia anytime soon. The majority of Aussie adults will talk to anyone about anything, even if we've never met them before. In both our towns and cities. Just don't keep complaining about things. We don't really want to hear it. Unfortunately, that's an Aussie stereotype of Brits (that's our nicer name for you guys). Keep complaining, and we'll call you a Pom.
My uncle is called Joel. He lives in Australia. Good name. Were British though.
Hi Joel. The woman is asking 'what are American stereotypes? Does that mean they are simply reiterating stereotypes or do they believe in the stereotypes. The question is not very clear.
my god they can eat... drink, not so much- and they are Loud
You're not annoying and you don't wear a baseball cap which is a point in your favour. For the British, the Scottish and Yorkshire accents are considered honest and sincere.
Well don't mind the spiteful comments, I think you're sweet n cute and mannerly and a credit to your country ❤
@ItsJps Hun, there's no such thing as "the" British accent, you could say a British accent.
Hi Joel, make the move, get into British media.
Joel you are not annoying but very pleasant to watch abd listen to and also humble.
Has anyone asked - or has Joel ever mentioned - whereabouts in the U.S. he's from?
Maryland
Not at all annoying Joel.😍
Fake insincere people come from all over the world and from all walks of life unfortunately. Fortunately there are many more really nice genuine people out there too. 😎
You have a wonderful I guess NE accent, quite soft, Very noticeable when I went to Boston and Skiing up north. Not like the Southern states drawl, I wonder how that developed?
How come Americans always seem to be chewing gum in everything as a stereotype, I actually think the American accent is quite cool, you couldn't pull of the fonz with a British accent!!
You transcended the stereotype long ago JP
I feel really embarrassed by some of these comments especially from the men. It makes us sound so arrogant but most people are not I’m sure. I find the Americans very warm and hospitable but New Yorkers maybe not.
These reaction videos - and, more importantly, the original videos themselves - would be 1000 x times better if the original videos got out of central London.
Joel, I live 30 minutes train ride outside Birmingham, I'd love to show you Brum is fantastic and not how you portrayed it based on 30 minutes falling out the train at New Steet with no guide!
the American left, is about the same as the tories here, not at all left. and their right- fascists
Stereotype very religious
I love Americans! I find them very open and chatty.
American Intelligence - Two words that are strangers to each other!
Hello Joel. Two new British female BFFs for you?
Annoying: young Joel?.....bloody hell no !!! 😯
Noticed you have sores either side of your mouth chum, that’s vitamin deficiency
The interviewer wasn't British, and half the people she interviewed were not British.
5:18 Could do without the selfglazing ngl Joel
I find American people friendly on the whole but find their obsession with the amount of money they make and families splitting up over politics very sad I dont know what party my faily vote for and wouldn't agrue with them if I did.
You are a great guy Joel and I have been watching and loving your videos for years the ONLY thing which does annoy me is that you are constantly saying "bro" !! Please could you try and say it less often ! Thank you so much ! ...Paul !
❤
there is no left in the u.s.
What is this American intelligence you mentioned ?????
Joel your action is minimal and at least you don't have that horrid draw. Why on earth though do you use "bro" as punctuation? Listen to your commentary. Most of the time it is totally unnecessary.
You just voted for trump. That's all we need to know about Americans
UK voted for Starmer. Sit back down.
Millions of US voters voted less for Trump in 2024 than when he lost in 2020.
The fact that he became president again was due to the opposing candidate Harris.
She received 15 million fewer votes than Biden in 2020.
In the USA, people vote predominantly on the basis of sympathy.
Not for rational, intellectual reasons.
What had this horrible Trump do to make voters find Harris even less likeable than him? Even though he was talking sick nonsense.
@@trevorcook4439. Silly comparison - and I’m sitting down.
@ how’s it silly? I’m presuming you’re in England?
@@trevorcook4439 .
Prime ministers can be kicked out, presidents are there for four years. Liz Truss only lasted for 49 days.
Why do you keep saying bro?
I find Americans Promise stuff and don't deliver lol Blondie????
Mate you're not annoying at all
Stereotypes are absolute nonsense, we all know that. It's wrong to tar everyone with the same brush. The US has 100s of millions of people living there so it's impossible to say they're all the same. Glad you laughed it all off though 👍
