An American called me a liar when I told her that our waiters in the Netherlands don't have to live off tips. She simply refused to believe me.
She'd love Japan then, leaving a tip is considered very insulting.
@@michaelmclachlan1650 I may just take her there then :).
@@michaelmclachlan1650 Funnily enough, before the Great Depression... it was the same in the US. Tips are _bribes_ - and that was something considered very un-American. Paying extra for a better service? Get the hell out of my establishment! Needless to say, that egalitarian spirit went waaaay out over the 20th century. And yes, this was also a time when the US had one of the cheapest, most efficient and highest quality medical services; before the parasitic "insurance" companies.
That's a sign of what i hate.. Not that they are wrong, but their devout belief that everything must be done like it is in good ole USA
Same happened to me. I'm from Argentina, *A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY*
In a pub near Llanelli in South Wales around 25 years ago, I got chatting to a very lovely couple of tourists from Idaho. All was going well when Mr. Idaho complains that Welsh place names have too many consonants and that they should remove a few to make it easier for people like him to read them. At first I thought he was joking, but then he's demanding to know WHY so many consonants. Now, we had just been discussing Ireland as they had spent the last few days touring there, so I said: "Didn't you notice how many vowels there were in Irish place names?" Mr. Idaho HAD noticed this, so I explained that Wales and Ireland had both been a part of the British Empire and when the two countries won their independence, the British government imposed a strict ration on vowels for Wales and consonants for Ireland which explained their disproportionate usage in each country. "Oooooh!" said Mrs Idaho, "I KNEW there'd be a reason for it". and Mr. Idaho agreed that, when you explain the history, it makes perfect sense. FFS!🤣
🤣
"so I explained that Wales and Ireland had both been a part of the British Empire and when the two countries won their independence, the British government imposed a strict ration on vowels for Wales and consonants for Ireland which explained their disproportionate usage in each country."
...Wow... As an American that sounds like some gross overreaching into control freak/stalker ex territory... Not to mention flippantly overcomplicated.
@@Cthulhu4President As you are american, I am not sure if you are serious or joking and I'm not entirely sure I wanna know considering you lot are sitting on almost 4000 nukes...
That's hilarious!
@@Cthulhu4President You do KNOW it was a wind up DONT you surely?? For crying out loud as IF that was true,blimey , 🧐🙄🙄
i remember some years ago I had the belief "Americans are not stupid, just ignorant. There's a difference." But manual internets and people living in caves made me change my mind.
P.S: If anyone wonders how did I post this since I obviously have no electricity where I live, the answer is I don't post. I send my comments to TH-cam via mail pigeon and they post them for me.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍❤️
I use owls. They're fluffier.
@@skullslace2426 Lol !

To be fair people do still live in caves, with electricity, running water and internet.
I am from Germany, and visited the United Staates countless times due to my job. I have been asked many stupid questions, but the one that left me speechless was, when someone actually asked how it is to live in a Nazi dictatorship, and if I would not just rather live in a safe country like the States, now that I am already there 😲
And the best thing is they actually believe that living in the US is safer than living in Germany.
Last time some asked me that dumb Nazi shit I just asked back if dark skinned people still have to sit in the back of busses and are white linen sheets getting overpriced because weirdos keep on cutting eye holes in them.
Unbelievable 😳
Und, wie ist es so? ;) XDXDXD
he must be Doctor who's newest companion. Just a bit confused.
Wrong way around, the States is Nazi and Europe free
To me the best one was the native American being told to go back where you came from !
That was magic, lol, really makes racists even dumber, hahaha
I guess such whities should be shown n a mirror n transported back too
@@doreenorr6435 she should of told them the same thing, im native you are not!
The Russian girl though 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 smashed it.
An american lady who was thinking of moving to Europe wanted to hire a van to carry her furniture.
I asked how she thinks the van is going to get there. She said "It will drive there."
- Drive across the ocean? and she answered: "So there is no road?". - No there is no road, you need a ship. "They can take a bridge?"
- Yes, theres a bridge over the Atlantic Ocean. Sure. They built it after the Titanic sank.
🤣😂
OMG this is hilarious: D
@@dorcolac03 Thanks. I appreciate. :-)
Got to be the greatest inflation of engineering standards.
I was an exchange student in NC (88-89).
A guy in the classroom approaches an Argentinean pal and me and asked:
- Why do you two speak Spanish if he is not from Spain.
- Why do you speak English if you are not from England - I did answer.
He was annoyed and said:
- No kidding.
- Neither was I
He just left thinking that we just pulled his leg.
🤷🏻♀️
At least he did know there is a Spain
Im from Denmark - my brother once had a girlfriend from the USA (NY - the state) and they went, by foot, to the neerest mall, a third of a mile from his apartment. When she told her mom, her mom couldn't understand how that was safe, she was worried that they would be clubbed down by muggers in this "third world country". Denmark is one of the safest countries in the world, like in 2022, were are the 5th safest place, US is not even at top 10 =D
And like the other Nordic countries, commonly rated as one of the happiest places in the world.
Yeah yeah, safest country! Y'all Vikings come down every year and -buy- pillage all the Beer! lmao
I'm really getting tired of all this "third word country" stereotyping that I see so often. I'm not even sure what being a 3rd world country actually entails anymore (and yes I'm being honest, and I'm gonna have to do my research about it as soon as I finish watching this video). I'm pretty sure my country is 3rd world as well, but I sure as hell won't get attacked in any way if I decide to walk across my city tip to tip.
I overheard a conversation between two Americans stood under a flyover looking at a 17 century house. One says to the other 'Why have they built an old fashioned house under the road? Eh!!
I love the Russian girl, she is so badass 😂🤣, I was in a large international group in discord and I spoke to another European about things European, and this American said: Go make your own group if you want to talk about Europe, cause "we" here don't do that. She really thought that even a discord group was all about America, just cause everyone spoke English she assumed we were all from America
I'm from Finland. I've visited an American friend once and we were planning for her to come visit Finland. She saw me use an ATM and make cash withdrawals in dollars (because I was too lazy to exchange the currency, despite of bank fees). However, she thought she would have to exchange her whole holiday budget beforehand in the US. I told her it's not that serious, she could also do it in Finland with her card or just use the ATM like I did. She told me she can't BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T HAVE EUROS ON HER BANK ACCOUNT. Like the bank account was a physical vault in her bank with her money in it in cash like in Harry Potter. Kinda cute, though.
My mom worked in California for a semester a few years back, and she wanted to send us some postcards from there. In the post office the clerk asked if Finland was a state in the US...
When I was a Finnish exchange student in the US in the early 1990s I quickly learned not to say that I was from Finland, not from Scandinavia neither. I went with I'm from Europe. And I'd still got the occasional question 'is that in California?'
One would have hoped their ignorance could have been ameliorated with the internet, but apparently the US is the world. It's like it's a reverse of the discovery of America.
_> Like the bank account we a physical vault in her bank_
No, I think it's more than she thought you can only take out in the currencies you have on your account, and probably that setting up a euro account on an American bank would be too complicated. That sounds more like the actual misunderstand. Obviously it exchanges when you take out, but if you don't know it can do that, your reaction might simply be "I can't do it with my card".
@@Liggliluff I know. My example was to express how I felt in my frustration as I couldn't make my friend understand how currencies work.
@@Liggliluff also many visitors from overseas cannot use ATMs or even use their credit cards to make purchases as many banks ATMs and businesses do not accept foreign bank cards which can lead some to believe the same would be true for them
I am from Yorkshire in the northern half of England. My accent, though not too strong, is definitely northern. On a visit to Indiana some years ago, I was told by the manager of a hotel that I was staying in that he was Swedish. A bit of a non sequitur, I thought, but attempted to continue with my checking in. Then he asked me which part of Sweden I am from. I explained that I am English, despite my Irish surname. He looked very annoyed and told me I had a Swedish accent - he knew Swedes AND what a Swedish accent sounded like. Furthermore, he had heard "the British accent" many times and I definitely wasn't English. I showed him my British passport, but he still insisted that if I wasn't Swedish, I must, at least, be Norwegian but definitely not British. I told him, "I don't know what to say. I am British. I was born and raised in England and so were my parents. As far as I know my heritage is entirely English and Irish and there is no Swedish or Norwegian blood flowing through my veins" He grunted and I completed my check in. The look he gave me the following day when I checked out told me he still thought he was right nd I was wrong.
Ha ha ha setz very FANNIE! Greetings from Hamburg
I am always amazed when Americans tell you absolute rubbish about England, then get very annoyed that you try to correct them about your own country.
I'm American, and I spent a summer in The Netherlands years ago. One of my Dutch friends took me to the Rijksmuseum. I had the humiliating experience of standing in front of Rembrandt's legendary Nachtwacht, or The Night Watch in English, when an American dad told his family it was "not too bad for a little Dutch boy who ran away from the cheese farm!" My Dutch friend let loose with a string of expletives in Dutch. He was clearly furious, and I couldn't blame him. The American's wife looked very apologetic as she maneuvered her family away from us. That was in the late 1970s. The next time I was that embarrassed to be American was when Trump usurped the White House after losing the election by three million votes. He was such an idiot, so vulgar, so abusive, so racist, so vain that he bragged about committing sexual assaults, so useless in a crisis that he tossed paper towels to people who had been in a deadly hurricane... I never thought I would be so ashamed to be American. But I am.
Trump said a lot of the dumbest things I have ever heard from an American. E.g. he said in an interview as president that Austrians „have exploding trees and live in forrest cities“. I am Austrian and think he used very alternative facts here.
A surprising high percentage of Russians btw think most of Europe, including Ukraine, is occupied by the nazis and thats why they have to free Ukraine. Others think USA occupies Europe and forms the „collective west“ (both are propaganda-TV versions). A lot of them still live in the 1940s somehow.
The Canadian winery didn't lay the Bald Eagles on for the tourists. It's part of a breeding program to see if breeding Eagles in Canada, raises the birds' average IQ. It worked too. A side effect was that the Canadian eagles were on average, more polite. One even decided he was a vegetarian, but I think he'd just discovered the concept of irony & was playing around with it.
Haha 😅
😂👍

If you aren't already a writer you really should give it a try 😂😂😂
While I was working with an American company many years ago, a colleague from the HQ in the US called me and said she needed my help to call a customer here in Italy directly. I replied: “Oh, you’d like me to look up their number for you then?”, and she was like: “Oh no, I do have their number, but it doesn’t include the country code. Can you tell me the country code for Italy?”. Me: “Er… you’re calling ME in Italy… so you have just dialled it!” DUH??
Note this person worked in the export department: she was supposed to be familiar with the concept of country codes…
My sister went over to the States to visit her friend, and her school asked her to come in and speak to some of the younger students who had questions about Ireland. One of the questions asked was - "Are there many leprechauns in Ireland?"
My sister looked at her friend. The friend shrugged.
"Yeah, there's loads in my garden."
The class erupted into discussion. They believed her.
The Scots have a bit of a running joke with tourists, telling them that the Haggis is a wild animal - it's funny how many Americans leave here believing it though. When someone asked me in America about our wild Haggis, I knew they'd likely been here lol I simply said I'd never seen one in real life, naturally.
This is great!
I live in Chile, many years ago, i was working in the fruit export business, we took some of the best, and more renown food journalist from the USA, and flyed them to Chile, to try our food and recepies done with local produce that we export to USA. One evening, some of those "journalist" comes and says" very nice city, very modern; but, where are the indians that come down from the mountains and the trade?" My boss, literally asks them, "indians?" "trade?", turns around and just leaves... I had to explain them, that we do not use trade, that there are some native people, but never "indians"; and for sure, they never come down from the mountains.....
The notion some people over there have of Latin America is just WILD to me, I don't know how many years ago this was but we in Chile have been making business with the US for quite a while so I'm surprised a journalist would be this ignorant.
I'm looking at scared Europeans and I was thinking: imagine if they were South Americans. 😅 ✌️ 🇧🇷
International travelling without a passport and without border checks can be absolutely normal outside of America. For a European being used to travel from the Polar Circle to the south of Greece through several countries without being asked for any ID and without any necessity to carry a passport with him, the USA-Canada border is a shock.
Back in the day, I believe you could travel to Canada without a passport. Not sure though. Now you definitely need one.
@@AntonsClass Yes but that changed with 9/11. Nowadays both countries are paranoid about terrorism.
Same thing with many countries in South America.
just for clarification: you cannot move without any id because you will have to prove you are entitled to freedom of movement if asked. but yes, a passport is irrelevant for ~450 million people ( EU citizens + our dear friends from Switzerland Liechtenstein Monaco Andorra Iceland Norway etc.) unless you are so foreign you absolutely need a passort and visa attached to it.
you can't move without any ID even within your own country. But yes, moving in the EU is like moving in a single country and not only for turistic trips, a Spanish (and all his family member, of any nationality) can go to work in Poland as if he were moving from Madrid to Seville.
C*nt means the same in the UK and Australia, however the way it is used in everyday jargon is meant much less offensive in Australia. Just like when Samuel L. Jackson says Mitherf*cker, it is just taken in a different context.
As in the case of when a Kiwi friend of mine called for a toast to the Queen as she was a "Good c*nt."
Thanks for the explanation, I was still trying to figure out if the had been "that" c- word
Yeah, in British series and films is just a way of calling someone an a**... you know. Even politicians call that to each other. But language in USA and its political correction just exasperates me. They accept a pointed gun but not being called cunt.
In Mediterranean countries we call each other much terrible things
@@txellblanxer9060 yeah, in Portugal for example in the area of Oporto (Porto), it's so usual to use swear words in every day exchanges that people sometimes don't even notice that they are using them, then when they travel to Lisbon (Lisboa) for example they are soon identified by their language.
I think MFer sounds way worse then C*nt
THE NUMBER OF STATES IS ON THE F*****G FLAG! I KNOW THAT AND I AM FINNISH. JUST COUNT THE DAMN STARS B***H. :D
Exactly, Alaska and Hawaii were the last territories granted statehood in 1959.
But in America you can't fix stupid.
Ohh our African classic 😂😂😂
So do you have a pet lion? And the internet question oh oh and the poverty questions 😂😂 and the jungle references, I always have fun when I accidentally chat to an American on Social Media...
Beside that they are really surprised when they realize that you don't need to shout like oncle A. in order to speak german?
My favorite: a couple of years ago i met a woman and her friend, both from the Us. They were on a 'all around Europe trip'.
She told me how awesome it was to visit france, spain and Italy, but she's sooo excited that they finally arrived in Austria, bc since she was a little girl, she always wanted to see kangaroos in their natural environment.
I still have to lough when i think about the totally devastated and dissapointed look on her face after i told her that we are the ones with the Mozart Kugeln and the spanische Hofreitschule, but the kangaroos are almost exactly on the other side of the Planet.
How much difference an additional a and l can make.. 😄
Working in New England area, we had a lot of overseas temporary workers so we all had our name, city and county of origin, eg., Charlie Wollongong AUS. One lady said my English was amazing for someone from Austria. I corrected her, no, Austria is AUT, AUS is Australia. She thought about it for a second then told me, I know Austria is spelt with an S, I'm not stupid.
@@rosekay5031
😄
I hope she eventually got to see some Roos. I just saw some crawl under an electric fence like it was nothing.
what about the mountain goats, because of their jumping abilities I think they count as some kind of alp kangaroos
@@lilithiaabendstern6303
Ibex?
They are nothing less than absolutely amazing! Have you ever seen them climb up a dam wall? I could watch them jumping and running up and down their mountains for days without getting bored.
But i guess if you want to see a Roo, you want to see a Roo.. 😄
Edit: but i would be totally fine with it if we would call them alp kangaroos (or maybe alparoos?) from now on!
Visited a concert hall in Missouri back in the 90’s where they flew the 50 state flags. One American turned to me and asked me which one of the flags was the Norwegian flag... Edit to add: forgot to say that the lady in question was an elementary school teacher who taught 4th grade
Wow 🤣
Nooo 😭😭
🤭Stop 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha! 😅
Easy! It's the one with the Dead Parrot on it...! Lovely plumage....
2:10 I believe you didn't catch that one. She was, native american.
Yeah, he looked dumbfounded. Well, he knows now.
When I was editing I caught it
It went by way too fast
This reminded me of a colleague who attended a public health conference in the US a few years back. She is Maori ( NZ s indigenous people) and was interested in how US first nation people participated in policy development in the US as Maori have guaranteed input into government policy under treaty obligations. The organisers were puzzled until the lightbulb went off in one brain and they took her off and introduced her to a group of Afro Americans who were addressing inner city poverty. A natural mistake, she was brown wasn't she?
Needless to say there was no first nation stream at the conference, nor was she able to find any attendees from that group.
A culture shock indeed and not to the US's credit.
I went to America 6 years ago. I’m part Iranian,part Asian. I got asked by an American( nice guy)....so what species are you????🙄🙄
😳😳😂😂😂😂
Hahahaha, priceless
What?!
Whoa!
Jeez....
Omg..

Does it rain in Christian?

(And yes, we actually do use horse powered transport. The kind under the hood of the car that is. 😉)
Hmmmm, no they changed that to liters 😉
Loved the South African guy
He missed an opportunity, that wonderful performer Pieter-Dirk Uys was also asked why he was white and blamed the food on Pan-Am! (it was some time ago).
The c-word means the same in Australia as everywhere else, it's commonly used as an insult - even a friendly one.
In Scotland, comedienne Jenny Godley held up a sign at one of his properties reading, "Trump is a C***!" The reply was that he lacked the warmth and depth.
Yeah, in the Netherlands we use the Dutch word for it all the time, and I call my friends that. But well, America is very prudish, so of course words like that are absolutely forbidden but hey, carry a gun with no problem.
It honestly depends on the type of people you are with, not the country of people. If people are more laid back, then go for it, but if they are more uptight, they will be insulted by you saying it.
Same in NZ - almost used as a term of affection sometimes
Yeah, the point was that Americans are so prude when it comes to swearing, talking about sex or basic human needs like going on the toilet (the restroom) - they're very easily offended and shocked.
Andrew, I'll need to remember that joke about Trump, very funny and I've not heard it before.
I'm not entirely sure because i'm german but i think c**t means the same in every english speaking country it's just that they, like us in Germany, doesn't take swearing so seriously. If someone is from an english speaking country (not USA) feel free to correct me if i'm wrong 😊
In the UK, especially in Scotland, and Australia, the word is used extremely often by young men about men, mostly not as an insult. It can be quite affectionate when they're exchanging a lot of banter. It wouldn't be used in formal settings.
Moin, das meiste was hier erzählt wird, ist fast unglaublich! Ich meine, es gibt ja überall dumme Leute aber… Grüße an den Tegernsee aus dem kühlen Hamburg
We call our friends "c#nt", and total strangers "old mate" here in Australia.
Yip, we just don't pretend it's anything more than a word, we don't act all prudish about it, Billy hunt, lol
The Australian usage of "c*nt" is the same as in the UK where it's just another generic insult that, while still regarded as the strongest of our swear words, is losing its impact over time. As well as occasionally being thrown as each other by antagonists in an argument, it's quite widely used between friends (men, predominantly) either towards each other in a playful sense, or to refer to other people of whom the speaker disapproves.
When you said that about Russia ,I get that you like the Russian people ,but not the political side. Politicians think they represent their people but really they are in politics for reasons of power.
Facts
Unfortunately years of propaganda has produced many Russians who are as ignorant of the world as many Americans are and think their country can do no wrong.
I don't get how anyone is surprised
Well...the USA is the worst man 😀 yugoslavia, irag, libya, suriah, yemen etc
@1984 is now. I really don't want to be the devils advocate but It raise the question to what extent are you responsible for your country. I mean soldiers are humans, citizens, revolution it's the people not the government in place. So if you're saying it's the government fault when do we have responsabilty? Or isn't the population responsible for any of the country's actions? I'm just asking I still don't know where I stand on this matter
There is a glimmer of hope for America as the young ones now have access to the internet. A lot of them play online games where they meat and talk and learn about people from other countries. They have things like youtube and facebook, instagram and now tik tok where they can see people from all around the world. They are not totally indoctrinated by their own Govt and crappy education system.
As I'm not a native English speaker, you lost me with the "meat and talk" part...
@@Juan_V_Herrera it’s a spelling mistake. Should have been “meet and talk” 😀. Hope that makes it more understandable.
You're right, youngsters are less likely to be indoctrinated / brainwashed by the government. Unfortunately, social media, especially Tik Tok, is likely to do as much, if not more damage to youngsters in that regard. Well, as long as people think critically, they should be okay.
The general rule is that if someone asks you a stupid question, you should give them a stupid answer
I used to work for US news company, so most Americans I know were well travelled, knowledgeable as journalists should.
Once in a blue moon we had a "US import", journalists or editors that had never left the US and got posted in Asia as first overseas work. Hilarious stuffs often followed.
One day at 6 PM, I was at home in Jakarta, on Java island, and a new editor (US import) called me and told me Indonesia's president was going to give press conference in Papua in eastern Indonesia in 2 hours.
He asked me "can you drive there now?"
My mind went blank for a moment as even flights we take at least one stop on a Sulawesi island airport (either Makasar or Manado). 6-10 hour journeys depending on connections.
I kindly told him that the distance between Jakarta in western Indonesia to Jayapura is 3790 kilometers, 2350 miles, and there are thousands of islands between Jakarta on the island of Java and Jayapura on the Island of Papua in eastern Indonesia. Distance wise It's almost New York to LA. But on different islands.
"So no, no way in heavens I could get there in 2 hours even flying"
He went silent and hang up mumbling oh .. oh
Mine were relatively harmless. In rural Kansas a Sheriff asked me if our King is doing well (I'm from Germany).
In the exact same town I tried to respond politely to the question if I was impressed with the infrastructure, which in a certain way I really was.
But then again, in Boston the guy at the gas station asked my opinion about how the upcoming increase of the German VAT would impact the German domestic markets and if it would further increase the German foreign trade balance.
Maybe Americans simply fail at being mediocre. I've met brilliant ones, highly educated fast thinkers.
And I have met the other variety, too.
American tourist. whilst in Melbourne waiting for a flight. back home. Asked me (an airport official at the time). Excuse me sir could you tell me what time the six oclock flight leaves for Los Angeles. absolutely true
Maybe you could judge the situation correctly, but what if the tourist had asked: Has the six o'clock flight to Los Angeles been delayed and what's the new time? His/her question could have been this as well, just with less fortunate wording.
Australian here, what you guys call “cussing” we call “speech”
Yep listen to Ozzie 6 year olds tell jokes to.each other if fuck isn't used the.joke has only 4 words.
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
try this tik tok : Americans when they realise the entire world doesn’t revolve around them
That will never happen lol
Wouldn't that just be surprised pikachu?
Many Americans don't realise that there is anything outside America.
@@simonpowell2559 insular
I think your reactions are great ☺️. You don’t seem to take stuff personally, you can laugh about it. I mean, stupid people exists everywhere there’s people, right? It’s actually not an American thing. But when Americans are, it often has to do with knowledge (lack of it) about the world outside their borders. We’re all ignorant in some department. But it’s a way better look if one is aware of it and is interested in learning, and you are for sure 👍🏻!
Thank you soooo much!
It's of lack of education combined with the sense of exceptionalism, which make Americans a special breed when it comes to this.
@@rickylefleur2158 they really are CONVINCED that everyone wants to live in “the greatest country in the world”
Errrrr,no,we don’t.
2:03 - It's amazing how many people just can't comprehend that America was not the only country that came into the 21st century! Whether we're talking about modern technology or social attitudes or just about anything. I remember even my Dad (who was usually pretty intelligent) found it hard to believe that a British boarding school would let black kids in. (and no, he wasn't racist, he just had an outdated view of British society.)
3:33 - Whether she's Russian or anything else, she's absolutely gorgeous!
4:58 - Ride polar bears?!? Why not just ask her if the whole country has suicidal?!
13:00 - This guy is hilarious!
I was in a restaurant in New York and asked the waiter for directions to the men's toilet.
I was told "John, we don't use that word here"
So OK.
Later, my date told me she "had to go scratch in the sand tray"
🤦
Always love your reaction, man...
Always love your support😵💫
Yeah it's snows in islam, also rains in christian, windy in buddha, dries in jewish lol
9:28 the real question is why you put up 8 fingers when saying “FORTY?” 😂
As a brasilian, I can confirm that yes, she was just joking. We obviously connect to the world wide webs through a piece of cassava, it spreads the data through the roots and converts it to the interwebs for the rest of the world.
(I've also been asked if we have mcdonalds, why we shower everyday [yall nasty if you don't have at least one a day], if we have proper cities [São Paulo has more skyscrapers than New York, Steven!] and if I lived in a hut because I said I'm from a rurla estate [I've always been a city girl])
Yeah I loved the Russian girl, I never laughed so much, she Nailed it.
I am from Denmark, and asking whether we use horses to transport ourselves is an actual legitimate question, but of course not if you know anything about the country, then probably not. All though horses are used in other countries as a means of transport so it's not a totally irrelevant question, but i do get what you mean, but unfortunately not many americans think like that, they just ask their question without really thinking and guess this is why this tik tok thread seems to be endless..
Wow! 😂
Much like in Australia, Scotland also has a very colourful use of the word C u n t.
1st meaning is a derogatory term for vagina. But depending on personal relationship to others and use of tone it had many uses and meanings. From emphasis of endearing phrases to threatening insulting, it's great word much like F u c k and B I t c h.
C*nt means the same thing in the UK and Australia but its just not found as offensive. It's used so commonly its like the F-word now. Like parents still won't want you to say it but I've never met anyone my age that is genuinely offended by it
It's often used affectionately by guys. The way this Australian used it was almost admiringly.
These reactions are over the top funny. Your humor is contagious. Greetings from southern Sweden.
I just tested myself on the States (I´m Scottish). I remembered 42 off the top of my head, forgot 8... and I´ve been to one of those 8! The other 7 are pretty much all next to each other, so I guess I´ve got homework to do!
Was it southern states?
@@foreignreacts Actually, no! Mostly around the NW. Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, then the unforgivable Michigan (where I´ve been) and Oklahoma (where I haven´t, but that was the first musical I ever performed in).
It's one thing to lack knowledge, but it's another to not learn when you have the chance... How can so many Americans want to remain ignorant of the outside world. Your not expected to know, but aren't you at least a little bit inquisitive about what's out there beyond your shores?
It's a relatively new thing, needing a passport to go between Canada and the U.S. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, we'd go up to Canada on vacay and I have never had a passport. Then my parents came back from a trip about 20 years ago and were like, 'they turned us away at the border!'
So if the person was older, that might be why they asked that.
Edit: I looked it up June 2009 is when the passport became necessary.
Dude, try to edit your sound too. Your reactions are great
dude I'm going to subscribe to other channel today. I love your content!
Im a Danish guy, and one time i was talking to an American guy over discord. He asked me how it was to live in Denmark. I said its a good country to live in. Hes responce was priceless. Quote "Do you guys ride polarbears to school, and is your houses made of ice, and do vikings really have those helmets with the long horns?" I said yes thats totaly correct, and he believed me 100%.
Facts are, it never really snows in Denmark, and we do not have polarbears unless it's in the zoo, we do not live in icehouses, but we are drinking to much, having alot of fun.
I'm not saying all American people are stupid. I just think it is the way American people are educated in school, life and all other social aspects that does it. So what i want to say to you is keep up the good work, you do make good videos.
Btw: your reaction video of the nordic people was priceless. The danish guy in the yellow t-shirt was messing with everybody in that video :). Thats just how danes are, we are super sarcastic and joking about basicly everything in a calm and serious manor, so it can be hard to tell if we do joke. But if it sounds to good or to much to be truth it is not. But hay evertything is possible :).
Hørt! 😂👍
Angående isbjørne. I 1950erne blev en isbjørn skudt i Vensyssel.
Den var kommet herned på en isflage. Jeg så det i Paul Thomsens "Dus med dyrerne."
Paul var lidt tvivlsom da han fortalte historien, men en dame kontaktede han
og fortalte at det ikke var en and. Det var hendes far der dræbt den og hun så den,
men nåede vist ikke at få en ridetur.
6:30 okay he got me wheezing, I wasn't expecting that 🤣
It saddens me how many of my fellow Americans have apparently never looked at a world map...
I can understand not understand geography and not knowing ALL of the countries, or even half of the countries which exist in a given area, much less in total.
I however can't understand Americans thinking America is the only country, or Americans not understanding that only the western most ~quarter of Russia is European and not the whole country. I don't understand how you could think Russia isn't even partly Asian if three quarters of it hang over China and India.
I schooled in Africa and did geography for 3 years in secondary school. We were expected to know all the countries of the world and their capitals, also all the states of America.
You will be surprised but many people don’t know that😅 Even in Asia
That one from the guy from South Africa is hilarious. My dad was born in England, but was mostly raised in South Africa before their family moved to Hong Kong and then back to England.
And somehow he kept his English accent the entire time. The SA English accent is pretty distinctive and, while not a majority in the slightest, there is a decent percentage of the population that is white there. Assuming this is from previous occupation from the middle ages.
Charlize Theron is from SA. super blonde and blue eyes
I have speech problem too, it's called speaking Dutch
That South African man is a legend. 🤣
I think the whole world loves doubling down when an American makes a stupid comment - expand on it, make it even sillier and let them believe! Such fun!
It's funny when it's not getting directed at you 🤣
the last guy got me rollung on the floor asdfkdhg
The Russian lass should have a clip from Al Murray's Countries of the World video - where he turns the globe to show the real size of Russia. It's HUGE.
American ignorance boggles the mind! American history should have taught about “The Underground Railway” where thousands of black people escaped slavery by entering Canada. Only one of the many ways black peoples came to Canada and who have been here for generations!
I was thinking exactly the same thing and I'm from the UK. I was so surprised when he didn't bring that fact up. American ignorance is on a different level!
Even before that, after the War of Independence many black men who'd volunteered to serve in the British Army were not abandoned, the British took them and their families to Canada. Many were former slaves and feared re-enslavement, all feared retribution.
Hi foreign reacts. It’s uplifting how you view these vids. Completely opposite to another american youtuber that i watch. 🙂
I was in Las Vegas and an American asked me where I’m from to which I answered - England london . To which he said “ohh London in Paris “ 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Australians are like us brits, we are very close nations. The banter flows because we have the same sense of humour. The c word is used in both Australia and the UK a lot, it means the same as you think but we also use the word as say black ppl use the n word and a term of endearment.
I can’t stop laughing about the bald eagle story! 😂😂😂
😂
K, raising kids in a different country, the youngest being dual (15 now) - I realize why her father wanted her educated here 😆😆😆 ( I understood Healthcare... lol)
A friend of mine is from Denmark. An Amercan told him: Great, that´s the capital of Sweden, isn´t it? My friend was not amused ... .
Once a American told me that america invented cars
Don’t forget apple pies!
They’re also taught Edison discovered electricity. When I challenge them to tell me where such words like “galvanisation” or “Volt” come from, then, they’re completely dumbfounded. Many Americans also think horses are originally from America (because of the cowboys and Indians thing, you know) and where exported to Europe at a later stage.
@@claudioferrara4455 you're kidding?.no way they believe that
@@claudioferrara4455 So those medieval knights really did have someone trotting behind them banging coconut shells together?
Man...when I think about that when I read "Supernatural" fanfictions I'll put a map of the USA into the next tap so I could see if there is a State mentioned where it would be - just out of curiosity and to know what conditions I have to expect (wether, environment, and so on). Because me beeing from Germany am unfamilar with it mostly. I mean I know where the popular cities are and some of the states too, but not all of them.
And it really blows my mind that you can be so clueless with full access to internet - I mean aren't you curious too?
“I don’t care “
Oh how very American.
"sick c*nt": Australian noun: legend or really good guy.
Usually used in shock when someone gives you something unexpected or does something out of the ordinary.
2:54 wise words, indeed.
Crazy thing a lot of people misunderstood thinking I was saying I didn’t care what America has done to others.
But indeed I was saying I don’t care about America
I won’t defend them it doesn’t matter who’s doing it it’s wrong!
I'm polish and I'm against any kind of violence, but I think we all finally have to understand that not Russia attacked Ukraine, PUTIN attacked Ukraine, same like Hitler attacked Poland not Germany did. All of you who have a chance to read this, ask yourself do you really think all of the "youtubers" from Russia, all of the "influencers" or any of those "sportsmans" woke up one day and all together decided to start war against Ukraine? or PUTIN did that? What about the thousands of Russians who was arested for saying " ON WAR " or all of those mix families "half Russian half Ukraine"? WAKE UP PLEASE!!! And if any of you wanna know the reason why PUTIN attacked Ukraine. The reason is that Ukraine try to join NATO, but "Country in open conflict with any other country cannot join NATO" that's why PUTIN attacking Ukraine time to time. If Ukraine will join NATO, any country of the NATO coalition army will be able to make Army Base in Ukraine and Putin cannot allow to let that happen, because he don't want any of those army close to border with Russia. The same situation had place in Georgia (the country not the USA state), there's still open conflict for about 10 square miles terrain, and because of that Georgia cannot join the NATO too. Saying "Russia attacted Ukraine" is like say "all muslims are terrorist" WAKE UP PLEASE!!!
I would speak about America not going after innocent people:))) they are the 1st in that
Others have explained well about 'c*nt' in the comments. However, I would say that guy who used it probably should have got the lay of the land a bit longer before throwing ANY swear words about so casually in a different country. In this instance I would definitely say he was the dumb one. And I'm British/Australian and more used to the word and its use.
My girls would actually laugh, and ride one of their horses to town and home again, just because they can here in Denmark. We have bicycle lanes for most of our infrastructure, which means you can get around on horseback if you want. It's even a rule to slow down when you are driving close to live stock and large domesticated animals. We are acutely moving towards a co2 friendly approach to almost every aspect of industrial and personal development.
The Canadian girl is too young to remember but those of us in our early 30s or older are still thrown that a passport is required to enter the U.S. or Canada. It's only been that way since 2007, when I was about 27. It's been almost 20 years now, but I'll probably never get used to it.
The fact that they believe every word and they get offended and just don't believe when you explain those things to them makes me actually worried about this ppl.
as a german, accents are just so common and normal, we have completely own languages surrounding german with own words, pronounciations, meanings and words that are totally different to normal high german. if you speak english, regardless of your accents, you can understand them, if you have a german that speaks in his dialect, you will not be able to understand a single word even if you are a natural german speaker.
Das ist mir Wurst :)
Naja, die Grundzüge versteht man schon...nur die wirklich harten Dialekte sind gemein. Schwäbisch, Oberpfälzer Bayrisch, Sächsisch, Fränkisch und Allemannisch sind fies, der Rest geht...
@@meisen1988 Ich gehe davon aus du kommst aus dem Norden, weil mit Ausnahme von Sächsisch alle deine Beispiele aus dem süddeutschen Raum kommen. Für mich sind alle diese Dialekte halbwegs verständlich. So was wie Plattdeutsch hört sich für mich aber eher wie eine zufällige Ansammlung von Tierlauten an. Wir verstehen euch also auch nicht.
@@Schlachti10 ich bin Franke und selbst Dialektsprecher. Da aber unsere schönen Dialekte manchmal recht weit vom Hochdeutschen abweichen, dürfen wir durchaus zugeben, dass sie für fremde recht schwer verständlich sein können.
The “c” word is generally unacceptable in Australia. That guy would be considered bad mannered by the majority of Australians.
6:30 I died of laughter😂😂😂😂
The Russian lady went off the handles on that American bloke, totally destroyed him!
I know that these are the worst things each person has heard, but it still baffles me how ignorant SOME Muricans can be. These are things we are taught in first 6 years of school
What is a murican ?
@@TheCornishCockney It's a joke name for the "America is the best at everything" kind of Americans. They tend to be from the south so their dialect makes it sound like Murica
The C word is practically a term of endearment here in the UK and Australia
9:50 in europe its the otherway around(atleast here in the Netherlands) you learn what the countries are named(including capital) but the number doesnt matter. Its different with dutch provinces since there arent that many but you learn both the amount(excluding the overseas islands of Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Saba, Sint Maarten and Sint Eustasius because you learn those just by name and that there are 6) and name(From North to South: Groningen, Friesland, Drenthe, Noord Holland, Flevoland, Overijssel, Gelderland, Utrecht, Zuid Holland, Zeeland, Noord Brabant and Limburg) and if you know them by name you can count them(12). The only thing i vaguely remember being wrong with geography is that the former eastern bloc(Former Soviet Union and Satelite states) are less thought. I know the capital of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania(Estland, Letland and Litouwen in Dutch) purely because i love geography, Talinn, Riga and Vilnius.
Funny fact: Europe has 50 countries, USA has 50 states and Spain has 50 provinces. I can name and place every of them in a map.
Dumbest thing I ever heard them say was....'"I voted for Donald Trump, he cares about us"
How is that working for Americans with sleepy Joe in charge?
How are those "poor people" doing, they faring any better than "educated white people"? Or are all those poor people in jungle? How about the children his son had stacks of videos of that now "mysteriously" disappeared? Or the children's lips that Biden was just trying so hard to kiss because that's totally a normal thing to do. Or them African children he found oh so exciting. (This is all Joe Biden said -No one called him out for his racist remarks against black people or how creepy he is with children. I watched a video of Biden and felt sick to my stomach. I was convinced the man I was seeing on the video was a p3d0. This was years before I knew it was even Biden.)
You're having a laugh if you think Biden cares about Americans. Don't you know? If you ain't black unless you vote him (Yes, he said that). Cause black people can't think for themselves according to him. Wasn't Biden the one who pushed for black people to be put in jail for minor drug offenses back in the 80s or something with Bill Clinton? Something to be considered as a black mark on American History? Kamala Harris had her pockets in that too. They sure love helping black people - go to jail.
How about Hillary Clinton who is an American Traitor! She literally committed an act of treason, she also had people killed! And then tried to cover it up by destroying laptops and shredding documents. She was in court over it (sadly the court hearings have been wiped from youtube and google but not before I saw a video of her condescending mouth smirking at the senator who questioning her and Hillary dodging the question and not giving a straight answer like a professional lying politician, because she knew that she wasn't going to get in trouble). Bet you didn't know that, huh? Or that Hillary was part of the Russian scandal, but the media pushed it and make it out that it was Trump, because it was going to hurt Hillary's presidential campaign (Which is why Trump said "Not Yet", when in referencing Hillary going to jail.)
I know all this as an outsider. We have so much more information about American politics and the way American media works than it's own people (and if you're someone outside of America, you should know better). Stop looking at propaganda news outlets that are brought by the government and lie to you and the American people. This not in defense of Trump (because republicans are just as crappy when they had their time with Bush and every a lot of other things, they are just as bad as democrats -oh and surprise surprise, America is not a democratic society so how does that work as a democratic party?) , it's in the defense of thinking that Biden is looking out for Americans. Politicians in America (and frankly, the world) have stopped caring about it's people long ago. The sooner American's realise that, the sooner Americans can find that they all lie, Americans can see the lies. And they'll wake up to the BS in that country. It's a sickness. It's a cult.
The Australian guy said "Sit Com"
11:20 Speech fault sometimes can be not being able to say some letters properly (aka some sounds) but still sometimes saying them totally clear. For example I can not say properly letter R on my language (Serbian), but still sometimes I do say it right. And when I speak with someone on English they never notice it and I speak almost fluent English. So you might not notice it but she still can have it.
I know I have mine my whole life no matter how much I tried to correct it.
It is interesting that some speech impediments seem to be overcome when singing.
It's also possible that the R sound is slightly different in English than it is in Serbian and the English one is easier for you. I don't know any Serbian, so I don't know for sure, but this wouldn't surprise me. English does have a different R than German, for example.
@@Yotanido R definitively spells and sound different on Serbian. Basically R on English when spelled on Serbian would be 2 letters "AR" basically for each letter goes different sound. I think that is closest how I could explain. I do know that there are some sites that do have pronunciation of different languages (not sure how accurate) I mean cyrilic alphabet has several more letters then latinic that people using only latinic simply can not pronounce letters "Ć Ž Š Đ Č LJ" or letters "Ћ Ж Ш Ђ Ч Љ" on cyrilic. And each of them has their own sound that English speaking people usually can not pronounce.
You do need a passport to travel between the US and Canada, but to be fair if you were driving (not sure about going by plane), up until 2009 give or take a year all you needed was a driver’s license.
Sometimes it is difficult to understand your English that I miss half of your comments! Keep smiling (Steve in the UK)
By listening to more american english content you'll get used to the accent :P
@@PierreMiniggio I listen most days to Americans. It would be the sane if you came to the UK! We have 5 native languages. Multiple dialects and these are not always mutually comprehensible to all UK born people.
@@meshugim I have only have been to London and Brighton in the summers of 2012 and 2013 when I was respectively 16 and 17 years old.
And despite learning english mostly by watching american content I was able to understand people just fine, and they were able to understand me despite my heavy french accent :D
I've never been to any other places in the UK though, so I haven't got to experience some of the harder accents.
@@PierreMiniggio the accents and dialects are fun. My dialect is closely related to old English and Norse. I am from the west Pennines. I lived in Scotland for years and understand lawlands or lowland Scot’s. I’m going to Llandudno (chlandidno) in Wales in a few weeks I understand Welsh but don’t really speak it but it’s wonderful how the language and dialect can change in just a few miles!
You must travel north and west when you are again in the UK.

Many Americans are amazed that there are black people in England?
Even black Americans.
The C word can be used both positively and negatively in Scotland. It's pretty casual and is usually just meaning person.
C**t , in Australia means C**t , the same as it does everywhere else . It's a euphemism for vagina , however , for an Australian , it's all about context . If somebody tells an outrageous joke , for example , one that might be considered extreme , you might call him a "sick c**t" . An Australian would consider this to be a commentary on the joke , rather than the joke teller .
Generally speaking , Australians learn very early on , to not take commentary personally . It's considered a weakness in Australia to be offended by words .
If you get upset , in Australia , about words , you are definitely gonna be called a weak c**t .
The thing about that is that in that instance it's the Aussie being small minded and acting as if the rest of the world should be the same as him -the opposite of the rest of the video. Different countries have different etiquette -wake up. Also, the C word is very rude throughout the English speaking world. I also have no doubt that many older Aussies would be pretty shocked if you started slinging it around them.
@@sirperybLakeney hey I'm not saying he did nothing wrong. He should have been more aware of the local etiquette. However the guy who was reacting to it asked a question about euphemisms in Australia and so I offered an explanation.
And , by the way , I am one of those older Australians of which you speak and , like I said , am rarely offended by words, but rather the intent behind them and the context.
Don't tell me to "wake up" , I'm awake , I just think it's time that people grew the f**k up and stopped being offended by nonsense. Words have no power of their own . You can take that or leave it ,take a chill pill princess.
@votejj I didn't miss it at all. He is being small minded. There are tons of social situations (most, in fact) where talking like that would be inappropriate in Oz. Learning that language is always inappropriate in another country shouldn't be a stretch. The guy gave him useful advice. He still assumed that what he was used back home with his mates is right. That's small minded. By definition.
@votejj Nope, you're the one showing what you don't get.
Aussies and Brits have very similar humour.
As a Londoner,I never had to explain jokes to Aussies,but Americans?
Many many times.
I told one of them once that yes,I do indeed know the Queen and as a matter of fact,I’m going to a Buckingham Palace garden party on the following Thursday and would he like to come.
Told him to put a suit on and give his name to one of the men in red suits as they are ushers and they’ll escort him to his table.
He believed every fucking word.
Always wondered if he actually did rock up to the palace gates and start arguing with one of the Queens Guards.
