I'm from Missouri and I can picture a few of the guys in my school showing up in tractors. I guess it's more of a small town thing, not specific to any region.
+Henry Sealy she "relishes in being posh", yet Connie never in years (until now) had said anything about being posh?? Most of her fans didn't even know she was rich
+Noodlerella do you know anyone who went to a non-boarding private school? It seems by the way you talk about your school that it's quite different actually to a boarding school haha. Might be interesting to get a 3rd opinion (if you wanted) as well :)
Because Bianca SHE SMELLS LIKE LEMON GRASS AND SLEEP SHE SMELLS LIKE APPLE JUICE AND PEACH YOU WOULD FIND HER IN A POLAROID PICTURE AND SHE MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME *fangirls and cries alone in the corner*
I find the series really interesting as I’m from Scotland so its cool to see how different America and England are, I do wish they would point out more the fact that not all of the UK works the same though.
Meg Short true, true 😂 Its legal to have it at home with parents though from the age of 5! And you can have it in pubs/ restaurants if your 16 and with parents also
This is three years late LMAO but America doesn't have any boarding schools (that I'm aware of) so the only knowledge we have of them is from Harry Potter
I'm from Scotland where most of us finish school at 17/18. At my prom each table came with three bottles of Prosecco and we were handed glasses of champagne as we arrived. There was also a bar where anyone could buy drinks, no matter the age. Our teachers were there as guests with us and not supervisors, so they were all getting drunk with us! It was great! And of course ALL the guys wore kilts, and everyone looked amazing
I literally just discovered u, and the conversation you have is soooo smooth, like it's not cringy or fake, when other TH-cams collab and they act nice like overly nice with each other, and TRY so hard to be funny. While ur videos are so natural and interesting
What? We had: Horses Horse drawn carriage Sport cars Classic cars Helicopters Motor bike Normal bike Tractor Tractor drawing a kart with hay bales We had the whole mix
I had a prom at the end of year six when I was 11 Someone showed up in a horse-drawn carriage and me and my friends walked. IN THE RAIN. Also, my date was a plushie of AmazingPhil.
doesnt everyone get professional photos at prom tho? We had ours at a county club and we had like bumper cars and fair rides and stuff and raffles for macbooks and tvs. some ppl even came to prom in party busses
You should have brought one us of scots on. We aren't allowed to dance randomly, we had to learn set dance routines, and wear kilts/ dresses. And pop music????? No bucko, we had a full caliaeh band. (Caliaeh is the scottish word for a dance) They let some of us try the bagpipes, violin, and the accordian.
My school in Scotland doesn’t do this ‘cause we have to organise it. I think the last year prom was held at a local hotel that was built in a castle though, hope my prom is that cool
Yasss it was great fun but the best part was seeing who could get the most alcohol into without it being taken off of you. The sporran is the most useful tool for this.
In Scotland (in my school anyway) we call it a Dance and they don't play pop songs or have a DJ or anything there is usually a live Ceilidh Band. They play Ceilidh music and we all have to do Scottish Country Dancing, which we are taught in P.E in the weeks leading up the Dance. We do dances like the Gay Gordens, the Highland Welcome, the Flying Scotsman and many more.
catsocks the struggle is really for a Scottish American 17 year old :/ I love my ancestry music. but to my other peers. it "sounds weird". would kill to see Julie fowils.
+SushiRoll Speaks haha nooooo. Not like that anymore I wish I could explain this but it's very much not like this maybe in the east coast yes but I'm from LA and it's soooooo different.
I went to a school in Manchester and we had our prom not long after the arena bomb. I still remember that all 150 people who went prom were squeezed onto this tiny dance floor and don't look back in anger came on. Everything single person were screaming the lyrics out, it was an amazing experience.
I've been watching Connie's videos for a while now and I have literally watched them all (binged watch them in a day 😂) and I had no idea she was rich, she's just talking about her experience in this video, she's not at all a snob
Awh, thank you!!! I think the people commenting that i'm a snob etc don't know me or watch my content or anything so i'm not really fussed. I'm sure they wouldn't feel that way if they got to know me ^u^ xxx
+Noodlerella I think so too, you come across very sweet and humble in your videos, very grateful for what you have, the complete opposite of what they say :) love you Connie 💕
+*Noodlerella* From the moment I subscribed and started watching your videos around 2 years ago, I got the impression that you probably come from an affluent family or how you British folks I guess seem to call it "posh" as a term for being rich and this video confirmed my suspicion. What's really amazing is that it's somewhat hard to tell because you're so down to earth, sweet, and do not give off any snobby vibes at all. Great to know that you do not let your haters upset you. They're missing out due to their prejudiced opinions. You're awesome!
I just LOVE this British vs. American series so much. So refreshing to see different perspectives and to see how authentic everyone in this video is sharing their experiences! Also, dying at 12:10 when Connie says "Evan is old" haha! Can't wait to see more - these are my fav videos! :)
in my school (or country, with few exceptions) there isn't really a prom, but my school has this thing called "fireworks action" and basically it's party on the rooftop of our school and it's like a fuckin rave lmao
I went to an actual small rural school in America and we had didn’t even have 500 kids in the entire school, which was k-12, so we had about 50 kids at prom. People would either drive their tractor, combine, or truck to prom or they would borrow a sort of nice car from a neighbor. We’re so freaking American that kids would drive tractors to school on a daily basis if they were to young to drive and we used to be allowed to keep guns in our cars
In the 70s and 80s the guys would have a gun rack in the back window of their pickup. No one gave a second thought to that. Now you would be expelled and treated as a criminal.
We have around 350 (20-40 a year (60 is the biggest) in my school and when it comes to prom (we all have to watch them come) they all come on tractors or horses. its quite funny
Well the concept of hogwarts came from British private schools. We have houses, which we compete in in sports, house plays etc and you’re awarded points from winning some of the events mention above and in academic achievements which would then be tallied up at the end of the year and they would announce the winning house at the end of school assembly. You’re put into a house randomly btw when you first start school, there isn’t some way of picking. That is unless you’ve had a family member who went to that school. Then you’d be placed in the same house. You’d also have house common rooms.
I think it would be an interesting video to hear about drug culture British vs American. I know Evan that you have never smoked anything in your life and never will but you must of heard stories of friends or people doing something in high school and it seems from 7:02 that Dodie has a few stories to tell. I don't know I just think it would be cool. Unless you don't want to influence your audience in that way then obviously don't do it. I'm waffling
I've had this video idea scrawled down since the sex-ed video, but I personally like you said have no experience whatsoever so it'd be not as interesting from my side.
Evan Edinger Maybe do it with 3 people instead then like this video. That way I guess it would be less vital for you to be contributing funny anecdotes if there were already 2 people doing the same. OR you could make a super super sarcastic joke video where someone like Dodie is saying their "experiences" of like hard drugs and just blatantly lying about everything and you could be sharing stories of taking paracetamol when ill and breathing in fresh air and stuff like that. Could be a really funny video. Like an April Fools day video (altho preferably sooner cause I wanna see it :'))
We had an unofficial competition in our school to arrive in the stupidest form of transport (includes Barbie bikes, cardboard tanks, horse trailers with horse masks included, segways, boats on trailers, wheel barrows ect.) You name it. We had it. I think the difference between English and American prom is that we (English) don't take it as seriously.
In Scotland we have a "leavers dance" in primary 7 (when we are like 11 or 12 and just about to go to high school) and it's basically everyone in your year doing Scottish partner dancing in kilts and nice dresses with some food thrown in there.
I didn't go to prom, but I have been to both Homecoming Dances and people weren't allowed to grind, but almost everyone did anyway. I threw confetti at my friends instead.
My mom makes that punch for a lot of after-event receptions at church. We have a lot of concerts and things. It's ginger ale, juice, and sherbert. You can use any flavor and it'll be drinkable, but I remember canada dry and cran-apple with rainbow sherbert and frozen raspberries. I think she also had like frozen rings of cranberry juice. It was a chuck everything in type thing though. Sometimes there were grapes, or orange juice, any random flavors. Sometimes we used 7 up instead of or in addition to ginger ale. Or we're near Detroit, so sometimes Vernors.
The best part is that using rainbow sherbert turns the punch like brownish gray, and it's fizzy, and it's just fantastically gross and delicious. Oh and if I remember right it's 2:1 juice to soda.
I live in Australia, and for our last year of primary school, (year 6) we had a 'Dinner Dance' so we had a sit-down fancy meal and then danced for the rest of the night.
A lot of schools in the US don’t do homecoming or prom king and queen anymore because it started to be used mockingly toward the unpopular/disabled students
Okay, so I spent $300 something on my dress (I've only been to one prom so far), it was a $70 ticket. Limos didn't really happen, and there was no alcohol (supposed to be), but not much enforcing of it. One girl put two flasks in her dress ... Oh and prom king and queen is voted by the students who are attending prom, but they don't get a special dance. There was no punch bowl or sit down meal. Just a snack table. And it was everyone "dancing" everywhere, not much division. You also could easily go in friend groups, it's seen as normal. Also I'm single and not popular, so I just hung out at a friends house with the rest of my prom group of mostly single Pringles sans one couple.
I'm thirteen, but for school dances, they tell us to leave enough room for the Holy Spirit when dancing with others. (I go to a private, catholic school.)
in Spain we do that too but we do the dance as well... obviously to different places though cause it would be a lot more expensive hahaha I went to Barcelona
In Romania we go to the mountains and call it "excursie". and for us this is amazing. the mountains are right in romania we don't get out the country. and it's a really little country.
Our promise is exclusively for seniors. Only seniors can buy tickets ($50 bucks a pop), but they can bring non seniors. Pictures before hand are huge, and it's at a big hotel in the city. There's also NO drinking and a big after prom thing that goes on all night, put on by the school, to help make sure there's no drunk parties/driving. Last year for after prom, they brought in a hypnotist and it was so cool. The prom is put on by all of student council.
We had a hog roast for our prom 😂 My prom dress cost £3 (I got it from a charity shop) it should have been £200 tho. But we did have a live band which was beautiful ❤️
My prom(s) were planned by the Juniors in the student body with the help of their faculty advisor. And we drove ourselves but I think some people took limos. Also, people "entered" themselves to run for Prom King and Queen. So it was basically like a campaign and the senior class voted. Definitely a popularity contest but I also went to prom in 2013 and 2014 so not all the popular kids were superficial, clique-y, and terrible. A lot of the popular kids were also in theatre/choir as well as student body, sports, and graduated at the top 10/15% of our class.
lauren Anderson drinking ages in the UK are... strange. like in your own house (anywhere not in public) you can drink from age 5 in a pub it's 16 and to buy its 18
When Connie said "LEAVE HER ALONE!" did anyone noticed the text after that..."(cause she's not alone)"...Did Evan made that as a Dodie reference?? Because about a year before this video Dodie made a song "One for the Road" and in the chorus, Dodie sang "Leave me alone, Cause I'm not Alone" I'm questioning, is this a reference??? (I just notice this "coincidence")
Mine is Called bean feast i live in the Shetland islands in Scotland in the uk we also have the hop but that is a festival party the festival is called up helly ah we celebrate Vikings
I’m from the Midwestern US and I remember distinctly in like junior high one of the high schoolers trying to bring her friend that was either a freshman or a sophomore to prom with her and our school wouldn’t let her fill out the form. Like she even said that they were going as a date and it was this whole thing. They never let her fill out the form but they finally let go of that policy I believe it was my freshman year. It’s not an issue there anymore but it’s just crazy to think how much things have changed and how that was seen as an acceptable rule at the time.
Listening to rich people talk about money is sickening when you're munching on your poundland meal XD But it's impossible to hate Connie when she's so sweet
+Anarchist Owl Well you're entitled to your opinion (obviously, you don't need me to tell you that) but it'd be cool not to say you don't like someone where they might see it
our prom is literally today and the theme was like "rustic" or something stupid like that (im in a community thats a weird mix of suburban and rural and theres neighborhoods in some places and in others its like "oh theres a tractor and cows")
did you qUACK over my swearwords I'm laughing
I'm crying how has no one mentioned this comment
Doddie is Bea
Ha... Dodies funny
hahahah I was wondering what that was omg
QUACK
"Someone showed up to our prom in a helicopter"
"Someone showed up at ours on a tractor"
Evan jesus christ
Yeah, a few showed up in a tractor in Co. Donegal, Ireland too.
I'm from Missouri and I can picture a few of the guys in my school showing up in tractors. I guess it's more of a small town thing, not specific to any region.
Im in England and the tractor thing is normal, some people go on their horses though.
@@totallytwila same lol
I know someone who showed up in a cement mixer.
This is basically Wealthy British vs American vs Middle class British prom
Yeah, Connie makes me sick... she relishes in being posh
+Henry Sealy just because she's rich, you dislike her? Wow.
+Henry Sealy so true
+Minnie Pinkfinite no... I said posh not rich! And it was because she relishes in it and seems to feel superior because of it...
+Henry Sealy she "relishes in being posh", yet Connie never in years (until now) had said anything about being posh?? Most of her fans didn't even know she was rich
The blonde girl represents the 1% of the UK 😂
I love her so much!
She was on scholarship though
I definitely wish I had gone to public school like she did.
@@danielwhyatt3278 private?
Worldly in the uk private school is called public school
wtf I just want to see a private vs state school video with dodie and connie
this would actually be really fun, i'll ask her
Or with Evan too and get someone that went to a private school in america
Yess! I want to hear about her Harry potter like school😂
***** awesome!!
+Noodlerella do you know anyone who went to a non-boarding private school? It seems by the way you talk about your school that it's quite different actually to a boarding school haha. Might be interesting to get a 3rd opinion (if you wanted) as well :)
I'm just Dodie throughout the whole video!
"A GRAND?!?!?!"

Evan: "Did she taste like apple juice and peach?"

Noodlerella's school sounds like something from Gossip Girl.
accurate haha
that's what i was thinking haha 😂
+Noodlerella thats so cool , i would love to hear more about it.
YES.
Sounds like a slightly posher version of my school 😂😂
"she tastes like apple juice and peach"
"stop it"
I love them 😂

SHE SMELLS LIKE APPLE JUICE AND PEACH

Evan: "someone came in a tractor"
Me: "Murica"
Or any place that has the countryside and farmers,
kids turned up to my prom on tractors. north yorkshire
I laughed when he said someone showed in a tractor and I was like, that sound American enough to me 😆
+Imogen Grosset I'm in North Yorkshire there was 7 tractors at last years prom
+Sarah Todd I think there was only 3 at mine so your school is more Yorkshire ;)
As a UK child I appreciate this series it's really interesting I wanna see one on exams if it hasn't already been done
Ellie Neko the thing is, in America, we don’t really have exams
@@zoeynett Some schools have midterms and finals.
zoey zacek whats the gcse (when you’re like 15-16) exam equivalent, is there one? I know there like the SATs or something..
I find the series really interesting as I’m from Scotland so its cool to see how different America and England are, I do wish they would point out more the fact that not all of the UK works the same though.
Why is everyone hating on Connie, she's not snobby at all. If you've actually seen her videos you'd see how sweet she is.
Probably just a bunch of jealous middle-class commenters tbh
+Daki or vegans 😉😉
You're the laziest pile of crap I know maka.
ckatm397 You know her?
indeed ❤💖 also Marina on you pf 💕💕 love
"A kid showed up in a tractor" thAT IS SO AMERICAN OML
Jasmine Prince a guy went to my year 6 prom in a tractor( in the uk)
Jasmine Prince No it's not American it's more north Britain actually
Or south British - I'm from Cornwall and we're all janners so there were a lot of tractors at my Leaver's.
Bree Smith I’m from Wiltshire and everyone turns up to prom in tractors lol
Jasmine Prince to the world that’s soooo American but to America it’s kinda southern

Drinking is illegal until 18 in the UK but we all start at about 14/15 😂😂
Meg Short true, true 😂
Its legal to have it at home with parents though from the age of 5!
And you can have it in pubs/ restaurants if your 16 and with parents also
Meg Short UK SUPPORTS DRUNK CHILDREN
21 here in the US. We can smoke at 18 but drinking is 21.
I first got drunk when I was 7...
yeah
Very true
I love how the girls are like "You suuurrreee there was no alcohol?"
Ok I have watched this video loads but only just came across this comment I’m 13 and I have been drunk 16 is so exaggerated
my prom was at my school's canteen. can we take a moment.
#relatebul
Oh my god I follow you on tumblr, HIII!!!!!!!!
I went to a private school n ours was in our gym lmao
At my Jr. Prom we had smoke machines and the fire alarm went off and (in Scotland ) we were all freezing outside for about an hour
I'm subbed to u
I swear that everyone compares boarding school to Harry Potter
I think that's because Hogwarts is in fact a boarding school..
@@mostdysfunctionalfamily2725 yup
I go to a boarding school and it’s exactly the same and it’s optional to stay or get the bus home
it’s the other way around
harry potter is based on typical british boarding schools
This is three years late LMAO but America doesn't have any boarding schools (that I'm aware of) so the only knowledge we have of them is from Harry Potter
I'm from Scotland where most of us finish school at 17/18. At my prom each table came with three bottles of Prosecco and we were handed glasses of champagne as we arrived.

We got given orange juice... look back at my school i can 100% see why..

wak wek yaaa it’s just like watching people have a geniune conversation
Because they are/were roommates and friends. Edit: Wait, this Video is from 2016. I don't remember when Evan moved.
Omfg Connie sounds so posh in this vid
What? We had:
Horses
Horse drawn carriage
Sport cars
Classic cars
Helicopters
Motor bike
Normal bike
Tractor
Tractor drawing a kart with hay bales
We had the whole mix
Went to prom with my best guy friend. We are both very not straight but it's Tennessee. Us acting heterosexual was an amusing sight to say the least😂🌈
same!!
'Very not straight' I feel ya
just be you. fuck what other people think
and i also find it problematic that you 'act straight'. how about i pull up to my school 'acting gay'
+MemesRMyStuff okay what the hell??they probably did it for a reason, not being safe or accepted ??
Noodlerella, Evan and Dodie, my 3 favourite you tubers, this collab is a dream
:)
same! (and Dan and Phil)
Yay
thank-you for spelling favourite correctly
We have formal over here in Potato Island

Oh yeah I'm in the Northern Potato too, I just was too lazy to type it.
Im in potato island aswell and we have a debs
I had a prom at the end of year six when I was 11
Someone showed up in a horse-drawn carriage and me and my friends walked. IN THE RAIN.
Also, my date was a plushie of AmazingPhil.

Lol at the end of yr 6 we had a “disco” followed by a celebration evening it was hilarious lol 😂

David McCafferty that sounds posh 😂
Oofy oofy oofity oof
You should have brought one us of scots on. We aren't allowed to dance randomly, we had to learn set dance routines, and wear kilts/ dresses. And pop music????? No bucko, we had a full caliaeh band. (Caliaeh is the scottish word for a dance) They let some of us try the bagpipes, violin, and the accordian.
Scottish prom sounds like fun!
My school in Scotland doesn’t do this ‘cause we have to organise it. I think the last year prom was held at a local hotel that was built in a castle though, hope my prom is that cool
As someone who hates dancing I would of died if I’d gone to school in Scotland.
Yasss it was great fun but the best part was seeing who could get the most alcohol into without it being taken off of you. The sporran is the most useful tool for this.
Yep from Scotland aswell that’s exactly what it is
I didn't go to prom. I used the money to buy a ticket to see Slipknot and Marilyn Manson. Best decision I've ever made!
Fuck yeah!
You are a legend.
Omg the dream dude !!!!
They were touring with Of Mice & Men, right? You're so lucky you got to see three of my favourite bands at once omg
@RileyBlackery hahah it was such a crazy show and yes, it was w OM&M
In Scotland (in my school anyway) we call it a Dance and they don't play pop songs or have a DJ or anything there is usually a live Ceilidh Band.

it's so strict omg

+SushiRoll Speaks 😂 you're not forced to date them, and I'm pretty sure gay couples are allowed now
+Remy Smith in the video evan said something like "thankfully times have changed," on gay couples
I went to a school in Manchester and we had our prom not long after the arena bomb. I still remember that all 150 people who went prom were squeezed onto this tiny dance floor and don't look back in anger came on. Everything single person were screaming the lyrics out, it was an amazing experience.

in my school (or country, with few exceptions) there isn't really a prom, but my school has this thing called "fireworks action" and basically it's party on the rooftop of our school and it's like a fuckin rave lmao
That sounds amazing!
Kate's Adventures it is, honestly!!
lmao it's 5:47am where did the time gO
I went to an actual small rural school in America and we had didn’t even have 500 kids in the entire school, which was k-12, so we had about 50 kids at prom. People would either drive their tractor, combine, or truck to prom or they would borrow a sort of nice car from a neighbor. We’re so freaking American that kids would drive tractors to school on a daily basis if they were to young to drive and we used to be allowed to keep guns in our cars
In the 70s and 80s the guys would have a gun rack in the back window of their pickup. No one gave a second thought to that. Now you would be expelled and treated as a criminal.
@@alicem6611
Having the rack is fine, having the gun on it will get you in trouble.
We have around 350 (20-40 a year (60 is the biggest) in my school and when it comes to prom (we all have to watch them come) they all come on tractors or horses. its quite funny
Connie Connie is way too posh 😂😂 ... its like a whole new world
lol yeah.. very posh... but all seem very nice
haha yeah nice people. Great video Evan!
I act like that😂 but I know I'm posh so...
+Tiger Lily haha that's terribleeely cringe worthy 😂 Do you go to private school and such? lol
I can vouch for her , girls boarding school is exactly as she says , we have a girl with a helicopter in my year 😂
It's so weird that Evan grew up like 45 minutes away from me
Ignore Me omg same 😂
oh same, only we called it field day not flag day
Ignore Me omg I go where he went to college
Calling it before I watch the video:
Cha Cha Slide gets mentioned.
Nailed it.
Everybody clap your hands
I ship Dodie and Nutella❤️ Dodella? Nutie? What is my life coming to I'm literally shipping chocolate spread and a British babe wtf
I just started watching your videos, and i really like them.
thank
+Evan Edinger *s
+Evan Edinger you*
*thank you GOD DAMMIT EVAN XD
me too
Connie's school was freaking Hogwarts... I'm so jealous!!!!!
that øne fangirl So Hogwarts now has helicopters?
Ali Emma How else would Draco get to Pigfarts? He made it clear his parents can't afford to buy out NASA.
Well the concept of hogwarts came from British private schools. We have houses, which we compete in in sports, house plays etc and you’re awarded points from winning some of the events mention above and in academic achievements which would then be tallied up at the end of the year and they would announce the winning house at the end of school assembly.
You’re put into a house randomly btw when you first start school, there isn’t some way of picking. That is unless you’ve had a family member who went to that school. Then you’d be placed in the same house. You’d also have house common rooms.
I think it would be an interesting video to hear about drug culture British vs American. I know Evan that you have never smoked anything in your life and never will but you must of heard stories of friends or people doing something in high school and it seems from 7:02 that Dodie has a few stories to tell. I don't know I just think it would be cool. Unless you don't want to influence your audience in that way then obviously don't do it. I'm waffling
I've had this video idea scrawled down since the sex-ed video, but I personally like you said have no experience whatsoever so it'd be not as interesting from my side.
Evan Edinger Maybe do it with 3 people instead then like this video. That way I guess it would be less vital for you to be contributing funny anecdotes if there were already 2 people doing the same. OR you could make a super super sarcastic joke video where someone like Dodie is saying their "experiences" of like hard drugs and just blatantly lying about everything and you could be sharing stories of taking paracetamol when ill and breathing in fresh air and stuff like that. Could be a really funny video. Like an April Fools day video (altho preferably sooner cause I wanna see it :'))
I'm interested in watching something like this
This is such a brilliant idea! Do it Evan it seems so interesting
I'm intrigued, please consider this, Evan :)
"And in the back is just the nerds doing the sprinkler" "that was where I was" same
We had an unofficial competition in our school to arrive in the stupidest form of transport (includes Barbie bikes, cardboard tanks, horse trailers with horse masks included, segways, boats on trailers, wheel barrows ect.) You name it. We had it. I think the difference between English and American prom is that we (English) don't take it as seriously.
Katie Semple thats amazing
“ do you guys not have punch?”
“Nah we have Prosecco”
😂
I spent my entire prom at the buffet table. It was a good prom..
sounds like it!
70 quid from New Look dress = me spending accumulated Christmas new look vouchers bc I have no care for clothes shopping
"She tastes like apple juice and peach"
"Stop it"
😂
In Scotland we have a "leavers dance" in primary 7 (when we are like 11 or 12 and just about to go to high school) and it's basically everyone in your year doing Scottish partner dancing in kilts and nice dresses with some food thrown in there.
Emily Larkin At my leavers dance I danced with another girl and loads of people acted so offended
I didn't go to prom, but I have been to both Homecoming Dances and people weren't allowed to grind, but almost everyone did anyway. I threw confetti at my friends instead.
I miss them, they used to be my favorite youtubers ❤
My mom makes that punch for a lot of after-event receptions at church. We have a lot of concerts and things. It's ginger ale, juice, and sherbert. You can use any flavor and it'll be drinkable, but I remember canada dry and cran-apple with rainbow sherbert and frozen raspberries. I think she also had like frozen rings of cranberry juice. It was a chuck everything in type thing though. Sometimes there were grapes, or orange juice, any random flavors. Sometimes we used 7 up instead of or in addition to ginger ale. Or we're near Detroit, so sometimes Vernors.
You are literally God.
The best part is that using rainbow sherbert turns the punch like brownish gray, and it's fizzy, and it's just fantastically gross and delicious. Oh and if I remember right it's 2:1 juice to soda.
boarding school is boring as fuck, it's nothing like harry potter and everyone is really snobby. honestly it was hell for moi
Multi Remiix ouihonhonbaguettehonoui you make me laugh
I went to a boarding school and I loved it. Best years of my life
I live in Australia, and for our last year of primary school, (year 6) we had a 'Dinner Dance' so we had a sit-down fancy meal and then danced for the rest of the night.
Alice Mario same
Except the students called it 'formal' and the teachers called it 'farewell dinner'
A lot of schools in the US don’t do homecoming or prom king and queen anymore because it started to be used mockingly toward the unpopular/disabled students
Okay, so I spent $300 something on my dress (I've only been to one prom so far), it was a $70 ticket. Limos didn't really happen, and there was no alcohol (supposed to be), but not much enforcing of it. One girl put two flasks in her dress ... Oh and prom king and queen is voted by the students who are attending prom, but they don't get a special dance. There was no punch bowl or sit down meal. Just a snack table. And it was everyone "dancing" everywhere, not much division. You also could easily go in friend groups, it's seen as normal. Also I'm single and not popular, so I just hung out at a friends house with the rest of my prom group of mostly single Pringles sans one couple.
Our prom was held in an uber nice hotel though. So there's that.
What did Dodie say when they were talking about the punch bowl when she said something like "Did anyone ___ the punch bowl?"
Phantastic Failure spike. Spike the punch bowl
Phantastic Failure she said did anyone spike the punch bowl. meaning to pour alchohol into it
Cactus Phandom spike
Cactus Phandom PHAMMM
Lucy Haynes spike
“350 people at my prom. I went to a small school”
I had 45 people at my junior prom 😂
Its so weird seeing the difference between the us and uk proms omg
I'm thirteen, but for school dances, they tell us to leave enough room for the Holy Spirit when dancing with others. (I go to a private, catholic school.)
wtf 😂😂😂😂
Ashlar Sangeorge Mine always said leave room for Jesus.
Ashlar Sangeorge I get you, but no one dances together like two couples and that's it. My friends and I just sit on the edges and talk.
Ashlar Sangeorge omg hahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"In my school showed up in a tractor"
*amazed looks*
*lives in ireland *....ok?
the Dodie song references I'm dying
LEAVE HER ALONE (cause she's not alone)
Yes
I love how Evan uses Dodie's song lyrics against her
"Obviously someone showed up in the tractor"
I screamed "OH MY GOD ALL THREE OF MY QUEENS!" without even realizing it and I regret nothing
relatable
👌👌👌
The amount of flirting between Connie and Evan is ridiculously cute
I KNOW RIGHT
Indeed haha
Our year 11 prom is going to be on a boat on the Thames too
that noodlerela girl omg so fricking posh im jealous
i used to be so embarrassed by how posh i was so thank you
awww haha its cute tho. typical british
+Tahira to America yes but to actual brits the typical brit is Vicky Pollard(look it up if you don't know who that is)
+Donut Gaming OMG YESS lol to americans noodlerela would be typical british. but to us british vicky is the typical british
fine line between posh and stuck up
In colombia, we usually go party 4 days to panama, san andres or cartagena, its called excursión
dr Arismendi I am exchanger and I will miss that because I will leave half a year before I am so sad
dr Arismendi or to Cancún
taetaeiskookiesbae 29372 Where did you go?, I went to panamá
in Spain we do that too but we do the dance as well... obviously to different places though cause it would be a lot more expensive hahaha I went to Barcelona
In Romania we go to the mountains and call it "excursie". and for us this is amazing. the mountains are right in romania we don't get out the country. and it's a really little country.
Our promise is exclusively for seniors. Only seniors can buy tickets ($50 bucks a pop), but they can bring non seniors. Pictures before hand are huge, and it's at a big hotel in the city. There's also NO drinking and a big after prom thing that goes on all night, put on by the school, to help make sure there's no drunk parties/driving. Last year for after prom, they brought in a hypnotist and it was so cool. The prom is put on by all of student council.
there's also no pressure to go with anyone. most people go with friends.
I had to pay $120. :P But our venue was amazing!
We had a hog roast for our prom 😂
My prom dress cost £3 (I got it from a charity shop) it should have been £200 tho.
But we did have a live band which was beautiful ❤️
I just realised you quoted "One for the Road" and I'm so proud of you Evan
hehehehe
when omg
+PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES shit I feel stupid now I just reached that point
My prom(s) were planned by the Juniors in the student body with the help of their faculty advisor. And we drove ourselves but I think some people took limos. Also, people "entered" themselves to run for Prom King and Queen. So it was basically like a campaign and the senior class voted. Definitely a popularity contest but I also went to prom in 2013 and 2014 so not all the popular kids were superficial, clique-y, and terrible. A lot of the popular kids were also in theatre/choir as well as student body, sports, and graduated at the top 10/15% of our class.
Also there was SO MUCH raunchy dancing.
I still haven’t found any school that currently still does prom king and queen. My school hasn’t done it for at least 30 years.
Ours was voting but I couldn't even hear who got king and queen and I don't think I had any damn clue who they were.
U guys can drink alcohol in highschool? Cuz that's like TOTALLY unexceptible in the US until ur 21(or in college, no one tells on u)
lauren Anderson the drinking age in the UK is 18
lauren Anderson drinking ages in the UK are... strange. like in your own house (anywhere not in public) you can drink from age 5 in a pub it's 16 and to buy its 18
5?!?!?
lauren Anderson yep....
Wait but isn't the alcohol in the U.K. Like less alcoholy. Like there's not as much alcohol in it Compared to American alcohol. Idk imma just stop now
When Connie said "LEAVE HER ALONE!" did anyone noticed the text after that..."(cause she's not alone)"...Did Evan made that as a Dodie reference?? Because about a year before this video Dodie made a song "One for the Road" and in the chorus, Dodie sang
"Leave me alone,
Cause I'm not Alone"
I'm questioning, is this a reference??? (I just notice this "coincidence")
Lilikuri I think whoever did the subtitles did it, it probably is a reference
My school had our prom in the school hall, had a take away and had "Photo booth".
aw I love Connie in this more than in her own videos 😂 "evan is old" and "leave her alone" killed me
11:06 who ever was the stig, they are a keeper xD
I was hoping you'd say "cause she's not alone" lmao
It has it in subtitles
+TrashGender yeah that's what I meant - I was appreciating it :)
Mine is Called bean feast i live in the Shetland islands in Scotland in the uk we also have the hop but that is a festival party the festival is called up helly ah we celebrate Vikings
Louise Fraser hell yeah im from south mainland Shetland
I’m from the Midwestern US and I remember distinctly in like junior high one of the high schoolers trying to bring her friend that was either a freshman or a sophomore to prom with her and our school wouldn’t let her fill out the form. Like she even said that they were going as a date and it was this whole thing. They never let her fill out the form but they finally let go of that policy I believe it was my freshman year. It’s not an issue there anymore but it’s just crazy to think how much things have changed and how that was seen as an acceptable rule at the time.
Evan Im sorry I mostly watch your videos for dodie 😂😂😂
She has 2 channels one is her main channel and the other is her vlogging channel
+Mad Bull I know but Ive watched everyone like 100 times
Listening to rich people talk about money is sickening when you're munching on your poundland meal XD But it's impossible to hate Connie when she's so sweet
oh no!! sorry ;u;
but also thank you
+Noodlerella Thank you :3
it's not impossible at all
(and no, I don't dislike her because she's rich)
+Anarchist Owl Well you're entitled to your opinion (obviously, you don't need me to tell you that) but it'd be cool not to say you don't like someone where they might see it
+Emily agreed. but she's a big girl who can clearly handle herself and negativity, no one should be 100% bubble wrapped from it
Wow. My senior class had 1720 people, so our Prom had a LOT of people there.
+Alex scott Dallas, Texas.
Each yeah in my school has 200 per year!! But I live in rural northern England. And my schools a big one!
this year's senior class at my school had 78 people what the heck
+Allan Garcia my friends primary had 8-12 people in a year!
He was like "I went to a small school" and then he said like 400 people and I'm sitting here like the senior class this year was 37 people for us 😂
our prom is literally today and the theme was like "rustic" or something stupid like that (im in a community thats a weird mix of suburban and rural and theres neighborhoods in some places and in others its like "oh theres a tractor and cows")
