The "If I drove 8 hours north, I'd be in the sea" comment was hilarious. I currently live in Texas. Driving from South Texas to North Texas is 15 1/2 hour drive without any heavy traffic and no stopping. That's crazy how some countries could be so small!
Honestly it would make more sense to think of it the opposite way-the US is unusually huge! There are only 3 countries larger than it out of the almost 200 in the world. If Texas _alone_ were a country, it would still be larger than about 80% of other countries. Smaller is the norm, the US is just really very big!
I feel like movies and shows make it seem like we Americans go to a big celebration in school every other day. Truthfully, special events are pretty rare. Most of the time you spend in school is spent doing school work.
We had pep rallies every Friday during football season. All kinds of dances throughout the year. Different dress up days. Lots of stuff. It’s way more celebratory than european schools. American life in general is just more celebratory.
Just so it'll be helpful for whoever's producing this. You use 'an' if the next word starts with a vowel or vowel sounding word. For example, 'an American' but it would be 'a Brit', not 'an Brit' because B is not a vowel, but a consonant. 'an honour', 'an hour' because the 'h' is silent.
Good points, also for the love of God, please stop using like every other word. No matter how intelligent you are, the impression you give is stupidity.
It depends where in the U.S. Older regions such as the northeast typically have small houses, in addition to regions with a lot of poverty. I wouldn't say the majority of U.S. houses are big and grand.
I personally experienced the opposite for the politeness part. I always find American very polite in a way they present things in such a cheerful and positive way. It's really refreshing. Though, when they give compliments, it shows in here too, thus they won't give honest compliments because they don't want to offend anyone. As for English people while they have this accent which seems posh, speak "more accurate" English, and carry that "lord image" with them in collective psyche, it would seem they'd be polite but I haven't experienced it at all (except the language). They were honest, and quite crude. I might cross some line here but I think they are very close to French people on that part. It's just what I have experienced and seen, but it doesn't mean one is more bad than the other or even that it's a reality for everyone. I love both tbh, they all have unique qualities.
I’m Gibraltarian (British)❤️ Honestly it depends where in the UK you go! Northerners speak much more sing-songy and are generally more enthusiastic whereas down south people are much more reserved and not as sociable! ☺️
There are no hard and fast rules, of course, but generally if an American complimented you, they probably meant it. We are typically very straightforward, sometimes to a fault. If someone is being sarcastic, it should be very obvious. If someone is angry, they will likely make it known (unfortunately for everyone around them). Being bold, outgoing and direct are usually seen as desirable qualities. Perhaps as a result, many Americans might not pick up on more subtle language, tone or body language, and our threshold for what's considered brash or rude may be higher than most.
I think I agree with the part about British people speaking with more bluntness/transparency than Americans. At least, as an American looking at America's current media and popular culture, it wouldn't surprise me if Americans are more prone to avoiding conflict and muddying messages up to make them more palatable. I feel like Americans, myself included, live in a paranoid fantasy, in a way that I bet is at least somewhat unique to America.
The state I live in, Missouri, which is in the middle of the country and isn't one of the largest states, is bigger than England. There are a bunch of states bigger than the entire UK, some of them much bigger. 🙃 Twice I've driven to the East Coast and each trip took two days constant driving each way (though tbf I did get lost both times so that stretched it out).
I usually like the Netflix shows from Spain and Korea better than the UK ones because they have more interesting and creative storylines. I tend to only get into the period /historical shows from the UK.

It's strange, when I was young I always viewed the British as stuck up or in a sense "biteing" but after taking a trip to Northern UK and various parts of England I had my expectations split into two parts. One was "these people seem harsh" and "they are delightfuly chatty" I was surprised how bright and friendly the vrits were but at the same time they could be pretty rash and harsh.

@@heatherh4294 in the US bodies are treated more as sex instruments than just a housing for our organs, and as such we’re taught to hide our bodies in an attempt to repress sexual urges. Think about fashion trends as they relate to women, particularly back in the 20th century and before. Women had to cover their bodies bc it was seen as being more proper and it supposedly kept men from getting as sexually turned on by them. Rape culture still blames a person’s assault on the way they were dressed. Why? Because it all goes back to the relationship between bodies and sexual repression.
Never tell the English, though, that you have English ancestry in the hopes of forging a bit of a bond over some shared heritage. They really hate that for some reason ("Your English ancestor left hundreds of years ago!!!!!1!!! YOU'RE NOT BRITISH, YOU'RE JUST AN AMERICAN!!!!11!!!!!1!!")
In regards to Marvel and DC, I guess Britain can claim the likes of James Bond, Harry Potter, the Mother of Dragons (yes I know GoT is American produced, but they're mostly British actors so we can claim them) so whilst they're not superheroes, they're heroes in the eyes of many people I suppose?
I’m confused. That’s just the actors, people can choose who they want in a movie, that’s like saying an American made a movie but a had Russians in it, it doesn’t make it a Russian movie. People have certain actors in there dependent on the tone of the movie they’re trying to represent.
Just because they are masters of the understated and maybe Britain doesn't create fantasy heroes like we do, they DO have a LOT of real ones. And, in case folks don't know stuff like this, their military special forces are world class. Tough lot, those British, tough indeed!
Driving is very similar in Texas, where I am from. If you drive from the furthest points north to south and east to west, and back, you can drive for 12 or 13 hours and still be in Texas.
As an Italian, there are only 2 things I envy Americans: prom night and the possibility of being a cheerleader. The rest doesn't seem like much of a bargain. The natural landscapes in some states must look beautiful though.
@@kingslayer120 it's common knowledge that we don't, sorry but I'm not a person that gets triggered easily ☺️ find yourself a real hobby instead of wasting your time trolling bro
I’m convinced some people get on here just to hate 😂 but despite the bad things that happen in America like EVERY other country, I like it 🤷🏽♀️ people are fun, they have personality, my high school was asmazingggg we always did fun things and had celebrations. We have a lot Of attractions & places to go. & a lot of people here are so nice and just want to engage in conversation. Personally if you don’t like America good for you everyone has their own opinion but some of y’all seem obsessed with America.
Yeah I love America too. There’s loads of people that hate living in the U.S. because of how the news and medias blow everything out of proportion. I’m honestly glad that I was born, raised, and currently living in America without being in a terrible living situation. I feel safe living in here
@@Daniel-ct3np same people just like to say stuff that they don’t even know. Like we have 50 states everything is different in each one. I’m not making assumptions about other countries especially if I don’t know what I’m talking about. But they say we’re the “bad” people .
@@Daniel-ct3np actually having a limited number of sick days, no maternity/paternity leave, and some people rather dying than calling an ambulance because they can't afford it doesn't seem a great living standard to me... But you do you.
Actually, for the most part Prom is a huge deal in the US(at least for the girls). Months of planning, the prom committee finding the theme for the year and planning the decorating, getting asked(or asking), buying the perfect dress, coordinating with your date, ordering flowers, making hair and nail appointments, going to the perfect spot for photos before Grand March, dinner plans and after party plans. My daughters both spent a lot of money and time on their proms for sure!
I know for us, a lot of us skipped prom and we had a beach house party every year where a majority of people when to on prom night. Way less restrictions and free to do whatever you want. That said, it was mostly filled with guys and girls who were single and couples who didn’t want to pay the ridiculous price for prom. We would have a theme every year, drinking games, beach football, etc. and it was always the highlight of each school year.
Yeah most kids at my school don't go to prom. It's like 60 bucks a person just to go to an offbrand club with a bad DJ that just plays whatever is on the radio plus a few house tracks with some random kid you asked out.
@@kimyona9746 that sucks. My kid's prom committee is huge and they have a special music committee that votes on and chooses almost all of the songs played by the DJ. Prom is free for people on the committees. They only pay to go out to dinner with their dates, usually in groups to wherever they want. Then they have after parties that they stay over night at so they don't drive home
Britain has several Comic book Teams... classic guessing without research. A favorite from the 90's was CPT Britain... yep that's a real comic book character who led a team in Britain.
There are quite a few British superheroes in Marvel and DC as others have mentioned, plus we have some great comic and graphic novel authors like Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman who have written their own stuff that’s been turned into Movies and TV as well as them having written for Marvel and DC, and for the older brits among us we had the 2000 AD comics that brought us the likes of Judge Dredd
Right. I think the point she was trying to make is that those superheroes are still American creations. Their origins are British, but their character designs and backgrounds were conceived in the imaginations of creative Americans.
Fun fact for movies. The James Bond movies were inspired by a real man, Canadian Sir William Stephenson from Winnipeg. Sir William was one of the world's greatest spies, an operative for England who had an affinity for martinis, a suave rapport with elite power players, and an uncanny ability to infiltrate and eliminate threats..
"there's like a place called seven sisters..." Me:HEY!!! You stole our place name PS. In India there are seven states in the north east side and they are called the seven sisters
I love Americans and the British but still want to live here. Australia. Wondering if it really matters the differences. Let’s celebrate the diversity.
I am from Miami. I walked six blocks and was in front of the ocean. We also speak Spanish and English and Brazilian-Portuguese is everywhere. We have a huge Latin-American influence. About 50% of the population are home owners. Yes, it can be hot and humid, but the beach is right there. I have lived in Switzerland…Winters killed me. We have many cons, but you pretty much know if we like you or not on your first interaction. Great customer service!
As an American who has experience with different schools in different states as student and teacher I have to disagree with this American here... American high school (especially the dances, activities, etc...) are basically exactly like the movies. The foreign exchange students even commented on it pretty frequently.
I wonder what kind of festivals they have at british schools, cause they have to have some right? Like my school had pep rallies probably twice a year, and we had tailgate, and my school even had this big cultural festival with dancing/performances it was really fun.
@@BP-or2iu idk, it's been 6 years since high school so I am not really sure how many we had I know we had at least two but I am not sure if we had more than that.
Actually, my high school was pretty awesome. We were the best (American) football team in the state when I was a senior, so we had a ton of school pride. Sock hops, homecoming, prom, there were a ton of dances. I think maybe if you weren't sociable or have friends it would have been a drag but my class was a pretty chill group - Not a ton of bullying, drugs, or violence. Also, I like how this girl is such a typical Californian. She's got a Billie Eilish style, and she uses like in every sentence. Please please don't believe that ALL Americans hold Hollywood, and the likes of Kardashians in particular, in such a high regard. Lol They're trend setters for that group for sure.

Marvel Comics *does* have Captain Britain. He's a guy from Essex who was nearly killed in a motorcycle accident while trying to go for help after a supervillain attacked the research center where he worked. Merlin appeared and saved him, and gave him super powers.
Thought I was the only one in the comments not saying that Captain Britain is a real Marvel character. He was created in 1976 and has been around for years. There is also the Black Knight (Nathan Garrett) created in 1965 and will be joining the MCU in the near future. The MCU is adding Dane Whitman's Black Knight who originally in the comics was an American however in the MCU character will be British played by the British actor Kit Harington. So chin up knowing that the UK is represented with some cool superheroes in classic and modern comics.
Lauren - if British people envy Hollywood, I'll let you in on a big secret: Americans love British drama (Poldark, Morse, Downton Abby, All Creatures Great and Small, ad inifinitum). Can't get enough of these productions; they are superior to most of what Hollywood produces, IMO...
Britain makes better dramas and comedies while America makes better action. Americans could never make anything like monty python, trainspotting, or shaun of dead. Brits could never make anything like pulp fiction, john wick, or terminator
I'm British and I still can't get over the British voices, I don't have a British accent, but I sometimes listen to British clips just for the voice.. 😂🤡
High school sucked for anyone who wasn't part of the popular group. What the movies show is almost always the popular group, or if any other group is shown, it's in contrast with the popular group.
UK produced versions of Marvel and DC had their own comics with different storylines written and produced in the UK. Also Excalibur X-Men team was based in London.
Lauren is selling the UK short. You gave us James Bond, the Kingsmen, Sherlock Holmes, and Doctor Who. And for comedy you gave the world Monty Python & the Flying Circus, Fawlty Towers, Are You Being Served?, Coupling, and the Office (not to mention Simon Pegg and Nick Frost). We are indebted to you. Thank you.
I live in California and school in late 90s to early 2000s was kind of a big party at times. Education is obviously of importance but it was fun with great memories.
"We dont really have superheroes in the UK"(c) Doctor (Doctor Who): Am i joke for you? (just laughing, Doctor is MUCH more cooler, then any superheroes))
Driving for a couple hours is the norm in California. Unfortunately, sometimes you don’t get to far, because of traffic. Did you know it takes around 4 1/2 hours to drive from LA to Vegas, but it takes about 6 1/2 hours to drive from LA to San Francisco.
Takes 15 hours to travel from San Diego at the Mexican border to Ashland, Oregon, just above the California-Oregon border. 12 if you push it. It's the longest state, outside Alaska. UK N-S is 600 m.; California is 1040 m. Alaska is 1420 m.
That exact feeling when you are from Ukraine and for SOME reason unlike those two girls you know about Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Sherlock, Peaky Blinders, Taboo and even more movies and series with or by Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Daniel Radcliffe, Benedict Cumberbatch, Danny Boyle, Guy Ritchie and Neil Gaiman of course. I don't even mention helluva plenty of really cool music and books.
We do have cool diners in America. Lot of crappy ones but some 1950s soda fountain types. We’re laid back we like going to movies or getting ice cream and just socializing for fun
The dormitory provided in texas college i used to attend did have that gap space to be able to see from outside but the dorm is separeated from women and men.
James Bond is not a villain, but yes I agree, many British actors play villains...I don't know why, maybe the accent makes them sound smart but also devious.
Yea, envy is not the right word. Hollywood might be big but pinewood studios is just as big and other studios where quite a lot of movies including DC and Marvel are made. We have British superhero's. Union Jack , Lady Jacqueline Falsworth Crichton, Elsa Bloodstone, original Black Knight, Pete Wisdom, Elizabeth Braddock also known as Captain Britain, Blade < Yes you read that right, Spider-Woman, Dark Angel, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Tank Girl, Marvelman, John Constantine, V (for Vendetta), Lara Croft, Judge Dredd < Yes, you read that right too, The Doctor. There are many more. The problem is that many of these were lifted by the USA and cast as Americans or kept only in the comics and sometimes had a name change to fit the demographic, just like how the Harry Potter movies had different names and scenes to reflect the customs of the country.
It does depend on the school, but I would say the majority of US high schools don’t have to wear uniforms. I’d say it’s more common amongst elementary and middle.
Most public schools in the US don’t require a uniform. If they do, they are usually the ones with a higher percentage behavior problems or low income. They think the poor kids won’t feel as bad about not having nice clothes like the other kids or them getting teased as much. It’s uncommon to see a US public school in the suburbs with mostly well off and middle class students that requires a uniform.
Yep, for the uninitiated, in the Marvel UK line of comics, which also continued in the main line of Marvel Comics, there is a Captain Britain. Caught up with the titular series runs written by two Alans (Davis and Moore), before heading into the Chris Claremont-written Excalibur series that continues Brian Braddock’s (CB’s true ID) until years later, his mutant sister Elizabeth (Betsy) takes the mantle, for two times.
The fact that she mentioned Captain America as a great super hero that she’s jealous of but didn’t mention PEGGY CARTER is infuriating. She’s British and she’s a bad-ass. If you’re going to talk about the superheroes, Love, do your homework! :P
@@fernandomanfredi2576 yup, both were conceived in 1976. Although strictly speaking, Captain Britain is indeed a superhero, while Union Jack is more of a peak athlete similar to Black Widow/Hawkeye etc
@@fernandomanfredi2576 Yeah, also Excalibur, MI:13, Death's Head and a host of other British characters. Chris Claremont, a legendary British writer, is responsible for a lot of the British characters and overall diversity of the X-Men. I can't wait for the world to see that side of the MCU. It isn't all Avengers - trust me.
Fun FACT there is a captain Britain his name is Brian Braddock and he either has the Amulet of right given to him by merlin(to make him captain Britain) or the Sword of might (to make him Captain Avalon)
In my fictional world, British entertainment (movies, dramas, tv shows and etc) is one of the great entertainment in the world because fictional and made-up people make it
Captain Britain was in the X-Men spinoff EXcalibur, which ran in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, written and drawn at Marvel’s London office, before different corporations started buying out Marvel.
Britain has Sherlock Holmes, King Arthur, Robin Hood, James Bond and Mister Bean. So that's cool.
And don't forget Monty Python...
The most thing is they have English.
There's also Hyacinth -Bucket- Bouquet. ♥
Yee, British won by far. The best superhero is Thor and he is an european god

UK: British people always play the villian in movies...
Germany: Hold my beer...

Those are usually period dramas tho.

Not an American flag
Driving is very similar in Texas, where I am from. If you drive from the furthest points north to south and east to west, and back, you can drive for 12 or 13 hours and still be in Texas.
As an Italian, there are only 2 things I envy Americans: prom night and the possibility of being a cheerleader. The rest doesn't seem like much of a bargain. The natural landscapes in some states must look beautiful though.
Italians 😂 put 🍍 in 🍕

I’m convinced some people get on here just to hate 😂 but despite the bad things that happen in America like EVERY other country, I like it 🤷🏽♀️ people are fun, they have personality, my high school was asmazingggg we always did fun things and had celebrations. We have a lot Of attractions & places to go. & a lot of people here are so nice and just want to engage in conversation. Personally if you don’t like America good for you everyone has their own opinion but some of y’all seem obsessed with America.
Yeah I love America too. There’s loads of people that hate living in the U.S. because of how the news and medias blow everything out of proportion. I’m honestly glad that I was born, raised, and currently living in America without being in a terrible living situation. I feel safe living in here
@@Daniel-ct3np same people just like to say stuff that they don’t even know. Like we have 50 states everything is different in each one. I’m not making assumptions about other countries especially if I don’t know what I’m talking about. But they say we’re the “bad” people .
@@brittanywashington407 even within one state things can be drastically different.
@@skyydancer67 thank you !! But you can’t tell them anything .. because people who don’t live in states know so much about us 🙄
@@Daniel-ct3np actually having a limited number of sick days, no maternity/paternity leave, and some people rather dying than calling an ambulance because they can't afford it doesn't seem a great living standard to me... But you do you.
That "damn it" was so cute
I love my fellow Californian’s example of how big the US is… It helps put a legitimate perspective on how massive it is no matter where you’re from
Monty Python!
I love the Minister of Silly Walk skits and the Spam ones. :)

Actually, for the most part Prom is a huge deal in the US(at least for the girls). Months of planning, the prom committee finding the theme for the year and planning the decorating, getting asked(or asking), buying the perfect dress, coordinating with your date, ordering flowers, making hair and nail appointments, going to the perfect spot for photos before Grand March, dinner plans and after party plans. My daughters both spent a lot of money and time on their proms for sure!
I know for us, a lot of us skipped prom and we had a beach house party every year where a majority of people when to on prom night. Way less restrictions and free to do whatever you want. That said, it was mostly filled with guys and girls who were single and couples who didn’t want to pay the ridiculous price for prom. We would have a theme every year, drinking games, beach football, etc. and it was always the highlight of each school year.
Yeah most kids at my school don't go to prom. It's like 60 bucks a person just to go to an offbrand club with a bad DJ that just plays whatever is on the radio plus a few house tracks with some random kid you asked out.
@@kimyona9746 that sucks. My kid's prom committee is huge and they have a special music committee that votes on and chooses almost all of the songs played by the DJ. Prom is free for people on the committees. They only pay to go out to dinner with their dates, usually in groups to wherever they want. Then they have after parties that they stay over night at so they don't drive home
Britain has several Comic book Teams... classic guessing without research. A favorite from the 90's was CPT Britain... yep that's a real comic book character who led a team in Britain.
My cross country drive from California to Virginia took 7 days
I agree with both of them. I'm a lot like Cherie and an Anglophile but my most of my family and friends are just like how Lauren described.
These 2 girls are soooo cuteeee💖😍💖. You're doing a great job guyysss💖
There are quite a few British superheroes in Marvel and DC as others have mentioned, plus we have some great comic and graphic novel authors like Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman who have written their own stuff that’s been turned into Movies and TV as well as them having written for Marvel and DC, and for the older brits among us we had the 2000 AD comics that brought us the likes of Judge Dredd
Right. I think the point she was trying to make is that those superheroes are still American creations. Their origins are British, but their character designs and backgrounds were conceived in the imaginations of creative Americans.
U.K. superheroes: Banshee (Sean Cassidy), Union Jack, Captain Britain, Spitfire, John Constantine, Saltire, Pete Wisdom, Highlander, Rowdy Roddy Piper.
Actually Rowdy Roddy Piper was Scottish/ Canadian and was born in Canada .
Both are stunning ❤️
Fun fact for movies. The James Bond movies were inspired by a real man, Canadian Sir William Stephenson from Winnipeg. Sir William was one of the world's greatest spies, an operative for England who had an affinity for martinis, a suave rapport with elite power players, and an uncanny ability to infiltrate and eliminate threats..
"there's like a place called seven sisters..."

Where the heck did the Dominican Republic flag come from?
I love Americans and the British but still want to live here. Australia. Wondering if it really matters the differences. Let’s celebrate the diversity.
I am from Miami. I walked six blocks and was in front of the ocean. We also speak Spanish and English and Brazilian-Portuguese is everywhere. We have a huge Latin-American influence. About 50% of the population are home owners. Yes, it can be hot and humid, but the beach is right there. I have lived in Switzerland…Winters killed me. We have many cons, but you pretty much know if we like you or not on your first interaction. Great customer service!
As an American who has experience with different schools in different states as student and teacher I have to disagree with this American here... American high school (especially the dances, activities, etc...) are basically exactly like the movies. The foreign exchange students even commented on it pretty frequently.
yeah fr it really depends on where you go but my experience is extremely light and fun like the movies
Disagree in my experience we didn't have that many events and they were that amazing. Really depends
I wonder what kind of festivals they have at british schools, cause they have to have some right? Like my school had pep rallies probably twice a year, and we had tailgate, and my school even had this big cultural festival with dancing/performances it was really fun.
@@rrrrrrrr7860 Pep rally only twice a year?
@@BP-or2iu idk, it's been 6 years since high school so I am not really sure how many we had I know we had at least two but I am not sure if we had more than that.
Air conditioning. Beverage ice. Free ketchup packets. No VAT tax. The First and Second Amendments.
Love for the british lady ♥
When comes to UK movie the 1st one popped inside my head is Harry Potter. That's a legend even until now.
Actually, my high school was pretty awesome. We were the best (American) football team in the state when I was a senior, so we had a ton of school pride. Sock hops, homecoming, prom, there were a ton of dances. I think maybe if you weren't sociable or have friends it would have been a drag but my class was a pretty chill group - Not a ton of bullying, drugs, or violence.
Also, I like how this girl is such a typical Californian. She's got a Billie Eilish style, and she uses like in every sentence. Please please don't believe that ALL Americans hold Hollywood, and the likes of Kardashians in particular, in such a high regard. Lol They're trend setters for that group for sure.
UK uniform is really cool

Marvel Comics *does* have Captain Britain. He's a guy from Essex who was nearly killed in a motorcycle accident while trying to go for help after a supervillain attacked the research center where he worked. Merlin appeared and saved him, and gave him super powers.
Thought I was the only one in the comments not saying that Captain Britain is a real Marvel character. He was created in 1976 and has been around for years. There is also the Black Knight (Nathan Garrett) created in 1965 and will be joining the MCU in the near future. The MCU is adding Dane Whitman's Black Knight who originally in the comics was an American however in the MCU character will be British played by the British actor Kit Harington. So chin up knowing that the UK is represented with some cool superheroes in classic and modern comics.
Lauren - if British people envy Hollywood, I'll let you in on a big secret: Americans love British drama (Poldark, Morse, Downton Abby, All Creatures Great and Small, ad inifinitum). Can't get enough of these productions; they are superior to most of what Hollywood produces, IMO...
Plus a lot of "Hollywood" movies are filmed in the UK (and all over the world).
I honestly don’t know that many people in the states that watches that. & a lot of people here could care less about Hollywood.
Britain makes better dramas and comedies while America makes better action. Americans could never make anything like monty python, trainspotting, or shaun of dead. Brits could never make anything like pulp fiction, john wick, or terminator
I'm British and I still can't get over the British voices, I don't have a British accent, but I sometimes listen to British clips just for the voice.. 😂🤡
@@dundundun2383 Yeah we can't do action movies in UK cus theres no guns here :D
I agree with Lauren visit Wales,Ireland & Scotland I’m surprised she didn’t mention England tho.
The outro music is very cute!
High school sucked for anyone who wasn't part of the popular group. What the movies show is almost always the popular group, or if any other group is shown, it's in contrast with the popular group.
Girl from us so pretty:)
If I drove 8 hours south, I would be in Corpus Cristi.
There is a Captain Britian in the Marvel comics, and of course from "What If" Captain Carter.
Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean is the one of the greatest thing I've ever seen!
always been fall in love with lauren's shirt😩 i wish i was her sister so i could steal it lol.
Superman - Henry Cavill (British)
Spider man - Tom Holland (British)
Batman - Robert Pattinson (British)
There are no British superheroes you say...
lauren U HAD ONE JOB T JAMES BOND
UK produced versions of Marvel and DC had their own comics with different storylines written and produced in the UK. Also Excalibur X-Men team was based in London.
I love you Lauren❤
Two long time rivalries these two are .
Lauren is selling the UK short. You gave us James Bond, the Kingsmen, Sherlock Holmes, and Doctor Who. And for comedy you gave the world Monty Python & the Flying Circus, Fawlty Towers, Are You Being Served?, Coupling, and the Office (not to mention Simon Pegg and Nick Frost). We are indebted to you. Thank you.
I live in California and school in late 90s to early 2000s was kind of a big party at times. Education is obviously of importance but it was fun with great memories.
"We dont really have superheroes in the UK"(c)
Doctor (Doctor Who): Am i joke for you?
(just laughing, Doctor is MUCH more cooler, then any superheroes))
Very trueeee
The longest it would take to drive from one end of California to the other is about 14 hours, about 8 hours from the coast to the state line.
Cheri should win gold for getting the most "likes" in a sentence.
Driving for a couple hours is the norm in California. Unfortunately, sometimes you don’t get to far, because of traffic. Did you know it takes around 4 1/2 hours to drive from LA to Vegas, but it takes about 6 1/2 hours to drive from LA to San Francisco.
Yes they’ve def nailed the formula of the Mockumentary! Just like how Australia and New Zealand has nailed Horror and Mocks aswell!
I drove north from Los Angeles for 12 hours, and was only a little past the Oregon border.
Fun Fact, Because I live in Stoke, I can go 8 hours around, going 8 hours from where I am puts me in Cornwall.
This is great, more of these....
Takes 15 hours to travel from San Diego at the Mexican border to Ashland, Oregon, just above the California-Oregon border. 12 if you push it. It's the longest state, outside Alaska. UK N-S is 600 m.; California is 1040 m. Alaska is 1420 m.
I found it funny that she didn't know that there is actually a Captain Britan ( Brian Braddock)
That exact feeling when you are from Ukraine and for SOME reason unlike those two girls you know about Doctor Who, Harry Potter, Sherlock, Peaky Blinders, Taboo and even more movies and series with or by Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Daniel Radcliffe, Benedict Cumberbatch, Danny Boyle, Guy Ritchie and Neil Gaiman of course. I don't even mention helluva plenty of really cool music and books.
We do have cool diners in America. Lot of crappy ones but some 1950s soda fountain types. We’re laid back we like going to movies or getting ice cream and just socializing for fun
The dormitory provided in texas college i used to attend did have that gap space to be able to see from outside but the dorm is separeated from women and men.
7:29 got me 🤣🤣🤣 HAHAHAH
James Bond is not a villain, but yes I agree, many British actors play villains...I don't know why, maybe the accent makes them sound smart but also devious.
2:40 - I'm thinking she meant resonate. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are we just not going to talk about how Captain Britain is a real Superhero
Fun fact. Blade is English. Born in Soho, London.
Britain has by far the most heroic character Doctor Who.
Yea, envy is not the right word. Hollywood might be big but pinewood studios is just as big and other studios where quite a lot of movies including DC and Marvel are made.
We have British superhero's.
Union Jack , Lady Jacqueline Falsworth Crichton, Elsa Bloodstone, original Black Knight, Pete Wisdom, Elizabeth Braddock also known as Captain Britain, Blade < Yes you read that right, Spider-Woman, Dark Angel, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Tank Girl, Marvelman, John Constantine, V (for Vendetta), Lara Croft, Judge Dredd < Yes, you read that right too, The Doctor.
There are many more. The problem is that many of these were lifted by the USA and cast as Americans or kept only in the comics and sometimes had a name change to fit the demographic, just like how the Harry Potter movies had different names and scenes to reflect the customs of the country.
New and fresh!
Lol you should watch the new what if series
I’m not really sure about the rest of the south but in Louisiana we wear uniforms to school
Some schools have to wear uniforms, especially private schools it seems.
It does depend on the school, but I would say the majority of US high schools don’t have to wear uniforms. I’d say it’s more common amongst elementary and middle.
Most public schools in the US don’t require a uniform. If they do, they are usually the ones with a higher percentage behavior problems or low income. They think the poor kids won’t feel as bad about not having nice clothes like the other kids or them getting teased as much. It’s uncommon to see a US public school in the suburbs with mostly well off and middle class students that requires a uniform.
Yep, for the uninitiated, in the Marvel UK line of comics, which also continued in the main line of Marvel Comics, there is a Captain Britain. Caught up with the titular series runs written by two Alans (Davis and Moore), before heading into the Chris Claremont-written Excalibur series that continues Brian Braddock’s (CB’s true ID) until years later, his mutant sister Elizabeth (Betsy) takes the mantle, for two times.
The fact that she mentioned Captain America as a great super hero that she’s jealous of but didn’t mention PEGGY CARTER is infuriating. She’s British and she’s a bad-ass. If you’re going to talk about the superheroes, Love, do your homework! :P
Marvel also has Captain Britain and Union Jack
Really?
@@fernandomanfredi2576 yup, both were conceived in 1976. Although strictly speaking, Captain Britain is indeed a superhero, while Union Jack is more of a peak athlete similar to Black Widow/Hawkeye etc
Psylocke.
@@fernandomanfredi2576 Yeah, also Excalibur, MI:13, Death's Head and a host of other British characters. Chris Claremont, a legendary British writer, is responsible for a lot of the British characters and overall diversity of the X-Men.
I can't wait for the world to see that side of the MCU. It isn't all Avengers - trust me.
@@Rayodon oh thank you very much
if there was a captain britain (starts listing british marvel superheros)
You forgot 007 Bond ,James Bond come on ,the British hero.
Fun FACT there is a captain Britain his name is Brian Braddock and he either has the Amulet of right given to him by merlin(to make him captain Britain) or the Sword of might (to make him Captain Avalon)
I love uk❤❤❤
Nobody:
Me : noticing every British people telling *THE* UK.
In my fictional world, British entertainment (movies, dramas, tv shows and etc) is one of the great entertainment in the world because fictional and made-up people make it
Captain Britain was in the X-Men spinoff EXcalibur, which ran in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, written and drawn at Marvel’s London office, before different corporations started buying out Marvel.
