I asked British people in Covent Garden, London what stereotypes they have of American people. This is what they said!
Let me know in the comments whether you think these stereotypes are true or false! I'd love to know your opinion if you are British or American (or from anywhere really). Also please let me know what you'd like to me to ask people next time! I love doing street interviews.
Everyone in this video gave me permission to use this footage and these are their views and opinions, not mine.

No thank you.
Are you KIDDING me??!! What joy have YOU spread to me or anyone else?
@CC, I agree.
Half the people who said Americans were fat they were fat😂😂😂
Yeah but they weren’t morbidly obese
The guy above me is a huge cunt They look they have a hard time breathing so stop😂
Kiki's Korner American people have a hard time fitting through a door
not all of us are fat 😭
The guy above me is a huge cunt most people in America are health nuts bruh
Those girls who said Americans are "stupid" was triggering. But I am glad for the older ladies who were so sweet and chatty. They basically saved the video.
But they said it in a British accent. Segue to the lovely ladies waiting for Mama Mia.
Stupid?! How rude is to say that, regardless of whomever you are talking about!
Especially following it up by saying "we" voted Trump in. When the majority voted for Hillary. It was the electoral college🙄 that was the deciding factor. Yet we're "stupid"
She proved she was stupid by making that comment!
2 million Californians do not decide who is the President it’s called The United States for reason the electoral college represents each state meaning you win the popular vote in a state
In my travels across the US I discovered it's very difficult to make a stereotype about 'Americans' as a whole and be accurate, because they are all so varied, even back home in UK it made me realise how different we are ourselves regionally.
Dude I was born in Puerto Rico and I had so many stereotypes of Americans and when I actually moved there-they were actually nice and kind, (some were assholes of course especially with the facts that I didn’t know much English at the time) but other than that I was actually pleased, I’m still living here and currently in Florida
Haha thanks! I'm nothing like a New Yorker or a Californian, lol or a Texan. It's so crazy how individual we are. 328+million Americans. One thing we don't care for is being grouped together as a whole and being labeled as the same.
@@Thinking.Of.Some.Handle New Yorker here! Agree with you 100%. I grew up on the whole "let's shit on NY people" era. People still call us rude and abrasive blah blah blah. It's like... you know we have different states with people and different customs, etc. Ironically, USA is one of the first places these people want to go visit. Unreal.
How true. After living in the US for 50 years, I'm even surprised at the wide diversity of thought and lifestyle as I travel throughout the different states. It's extremely rare to find someone who has been to all 50 states. There's so much to explore, like the diversity of landscapes and animals.
@@consciousmoviereviews9730 which is probably why only ⅓ of Americans have a passport. Despite the cost many don't feel the need to travel abroad. Opposite reason as to why 80% of British citizens have one.
“They uhr fat”

SwaggerNauts365 i'm british and i approve. you can tell her
But she didnt seem obese

You've clearly never been to the North of England. The North of England is typically quite outgoing, chatty and you really can't live there if you're easily offended. Northerns make some of the most offensive, harsh jokes ever which is pretty humorous to watch.
Wow. Tv needs to stop informing these people about us.
Right!
Yup
Fr and I hate how us Americans are called fat
Nima Abdi fat
Dave Tv Bitch 🙊

lol dickhead

Lmao

As a british person I apoligize to the americans on behalf of some of the people on this video 😪
They were asked for 'stereotypes' not 'impressions'. May not be their beliefs.
Really sucks how every country seems to have some terrible stereotype about another country, I respect all British people (I live in the U.S) and don’t treat them any different than Americans. 👍
@tattiebogle4976 Yeah probably
@CS_Productions1 Thanks so much I respect all Americans also 😁
Aww, the older ladies were so lovely! I just wanted you to talk to them forever!
Omg this is just what I was going to say. They were just amazing lol
I really liked those ladies! They feature in another video too so make sure you go back and have a watch if you haven't already!
Lia Hatzakis Yeah, I did see them! So much fun! I love your idea of doing these street interviews.
Michael, I thought the same thing. So sweet!
@@liahatz British people are so reserved, the whole "stuff upper lip" thing and not outgoing like Americans. It's not that we're chatty we're just human beings that connect with other human beings bcuz we aren't in our heads like British people who are always worried about how they come off to people and are afraid to strike up conversations while us Americans like to meet new people and find out new things the only way to do that is to strike up conversations with people when ur out and about especially if your a tourist
I’m from England but have a couple of American friends and they are some of the most loyal people I’ve ever met. Every country has its own good and bad elements but for the main part, I think America is a beautiful country. From East to West, it’s so unique!
Thanks mate😉
no america is the worst country is bombs nation who don't follow their agenda and foreign policy this country destabilie third world countries this country is the most racist and no free healthcare
@@hermeslein6614 russia bout to fuck around and find out why the us doesnt have free healthcare lmao
I think our government sucks and has sucked since… well, before I was born, but we’re a pretty country, and most of us, I’d say, are fairly nice.
@@hawks-wings believe me, ours ain’t great either but what can you do?
As an small-town American, her comment about feeling lonely in London really hit me. I've never experienced that. You can chat with everyone and it's so natural here and I love it.
Yeah well in Britain we’re very different because people are a lot more privative, like as a brit it’s unlikely anyone will char to you in the street unless you live in a village
This is true...American people are open and they will be there when ever you need them
Most people in the cities don't speak English. London is the worst place if you are hoping to find an Englishman.
@@conxy4556 no because you all think too highly of yourselves. In irony you guys are the laughing stock of the world, having kings and queens in 2023 like a bunch of idiots 😹😹😹
@@conxy4556Really? That’s so odd. Why do you guys not speak to each other?
I lived in the UK for a year while I was in college. I found Europeans to have very negative stereotypes about Americans. They would say we're stupid, fat, and all we eat is McDonald's. This is very offensive especially when they say it to your face or around you and they think it's funny and ok. It's not ok! We're not stupid, I don't eat fast food and I'm not fat and I'm sure many of Americans can relate. Yet I never saw Americans students say anything bad about Europeans. It was like they were trying to put us down or make us feel inferior. It was very upsetting all the negative remarks British people made. Yet when I lived in Spain, I never heard Spanish people have anything negative to say about us. They liked our culture, food, music etc. I't was a completely different experience.
Well put. I am trying not to be offended...and failing. No one that I know is seriously overweight, or even as heavy as the people who were interviewed. And I am not in my 20's or even 30's! And to top it off, we are all in high stress jobs or situations (stress hormones increase body fat), and "foodies " who love gourmet meals with our friends. All of us are Visibly smaller than the people who were interviewed.
@Mel Bauer my american g, we deal with the same things from u u say are teeht are bad and shit man we have 2nd best teeth in the world and loads more shit u say about us, and 35percent of america are obese it isnt a stereotype its a fact sir
LOL not u complaining about our stereotypes when you all say we have bad teeth, only drink tea etc.. Like at the end of the day pretty everyone has nasty stereotypes for a different country
@@megamega7902 so the other 65% doesn't exist? Were half the size of our continent we're by no means over weight. My state alone has a population of over 4 million people and is twice the size of Britain alone and it's one of the small ones🤷♂️😐
@@jaysenconerly2430 mate nearly half the population is fat asf i dnt wanna hear it
Notice how the older ones aren't as rude with their answers
True. Wondered if it’s because their parents would have fought in WW2 and would have had positive opinions. UK is USA’s closest ally.
It's because British youngsters from cities have zero respect for anything. Go a few miles from the city and you start to find people that were raised to show respect and use critical thinking.

Loved the older woman at about the midpoint in the video saying Americans can be “chatty”. I’m afraid she’s correct! We certainly do love to talk, and many times don’t have a filter regarding our audience. But we mean well!
I love your chatty behaviour when I visit America. I want Britain to be more chatty!
bryn mordey Well then we need to be friends so I can chat with you when you visit! LOL
It looks like she likes to chat, she would like it in America.
British people are so reserved, the whole "stuff upper lip" thing and not outgoing like Americans.

I'm pretty reserved in person, unless I know the person. I think I'd like Britain. But, I can be pretty chatty online. Lol!
Working in a pub in the UK this American family came in and when they ordered drinks initially we thought they were very rude. Turns out they were just very direct and were such lovely people to chat to. Just a very different way of communicating that can lead to misconceptions
Would you mind to elaborate how they initially came across as rude?
@@michaelc2321 Right I'm curious.... Is it because we're straight forward? For example we'd say something like "let me get a double jack and a splash of coke"
@@ttgdirk7371 I've never heard anyone say "gimme a splash of [insert drink]"
@@ttgdirk7371exactly , we’re direct when ordering 😂 “can I get a uhhhhh”
Americans direct? 😂I found it the opposite. They never get to the point.
Most people who I know in the US aren’t fat and there are overweight people literally all over the world. It ain’t unique to the US one bit.
yeah but the obesity rate it still to high its like 36 percent its not a opinon its a fact
True
No but the food is
You was in the 90's.. Fat twats.
@@milesdewey4532 It is high but the rest of the western world is not far behind.
I’m not British and I’m constantly apologizing for everything. My boss always says stop saying sorry and I’m like “sorry.” lol
I know right?!! Especially Californians🌎🏜🏖🏞🌉
same here
American women are over-apologetic. American men, not so much.
I think American women still struggle with that - we are working on changing it! Apologize only when necessary! 🙂
haha i’m from england and i’m 16 rn and up until like 14 i was apologising for every insult i said to my friend (which were jokes obviously) and even after i felt terrible i have no idea why
Did that chubby woman really just agree that all Americans are fat? Please
The two ladies are really nice and if I start up a conversation with someone it's real and genuine. I like learning about people. Kathy from Dallas Texas.

@@mikek0135 Well, my parents grew up in Iowa, and they're that way too (they've gotten some glares on the east coast). Maybe it's a heartland thing?
This one made me a bit sad. I know we Americans are loud and can be overly friendly, but that's a great way to meet new people and extend your friendships. ;-)
Stereotype: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype
@@lavenderwaterflows2354 I sat alone in a pub in Edinburgh once and overheard a table of Americans... I was so embarrassed of the loud talking and shouting over one another like they were at an outdoor event. And it's not the only time I've experienced it. And I'm just as loud... but I learned what true loud was once I started traveling to other countries.
We might be loud but honestly we just wanna be friends and have a beer with you.
I love all Americans ❤️❤️❤️
I agree
That girl at 1:09 who said we were "stupid", i'd love to debate her on politics, philosophy, economics or history, I guarantee she would leave no longer calling us stupid and reevaluate her own self 🤣
Euro perceptions of America and Americans are nothing but absurd, shallow stereotypes. I lived in Europe for 4 years and found this out directly.
I just love those two ladies. I hope they find this TH-cam and see how precious they are.
What??? We love British humor
I lost it when I found out, the BBC thought they'd have to subtitle "Absolutely Fabulous". That was so bizarre to presume we don't "understand" accents. Slang is even more fun. Finally, thru amazon and Brit Box, we can watch some of the tv shows that the BBC would never share. I'm a 53yr old female. Today Benny Hill would be yanked off the air for being offensive but I still think it was funny. Thank God for The Graham Norton Show. Even though BBC America almost ALWAYS air reruns of star trek (How is that even British?) we still get good shows you guys now have. Thank God for Joel and Lia Love you guys. Love this channel and the one you guys share. I'm feeling like such a chatty American today.
Many Americans love British humor. Benny Hill, Keeping Up Appearances, Are you Being Served, Little Britain, Fawlty Towers, The Catherine Tate show, yes we watch and love British humor.
British humo(u)r is the *best!*
But, of course, as an American, I miss the irony entirely.
/irony [tag for Americans]
Absolutely! We love John Cheese, Eric Idle, and so many others! I especially love the ladies from Absolutely Fabulous!
@@estellewinters8502 that is hilarious!
0:25 “Americans are all fat” She got the arms of a sumo wrestler 😂🤦🏼♂️
I like how the girl on the right said that it was a stereotype, she isn’t the type of person to make fun of Americans because of their reputation. I respect it
fr😂
We do have pretty great teeth...our parents pay a fortune for it though. Haha :D
Hahaha true
Yup
True true 😂
Hahaha...I was gonna say with Americans the British stereotype is they have some really F'd up teeth and aren't even on meth or anything...from birth😲😜
There was a recent survey that found that Brits have, on average, healthier teeth than Americans.
The young girls were incorrect in saying there is only far left and far right. Those are the only people that the media shows... the majority of people are in the middle and are more moderate. But these are just stereotypes... which a stereotype is not necessarily true. It is just an assumption.
Well I mean it’s what the media shows what do you expect they don’t live in the US and tbh the only thing we see in the UK is the main USA media. You can’t exactly assume they would know.
Amelia Bedelia most people are in the middle or center left/center right, the radicals the far left and right are just loud, and the media just adds fuel to the fire. It’s pretty depressing.
@Artemi what? America has no “left.” McCarthy made sure of that in the fifties, and now, our “left” is just a glorified center. I mean, we have a communist party, and a socialist party. I myself am a commie. But we socialists have near-zero political influence.
I think the left is actually quite center, objectively. It just seems far left because the right is so far right.
the left isnt even left
I’m not a fan of Brits. I love everyone from all other English speaking countries though. And I have to say Americans tend to be the most fun and welcoming
you are a bigot.
😳 time you get put down
Why are you not a fan of brits? Genuine question as a Brit myself.
@@danit6695 probably because so many have a superiority complex
@@danit6695 a lot of them like being superior. The British kids are usually toxic
I think there are a lot of Americans in the middle who feel the same way. There is no middle ground in our political choices. 😞
You try to talk about the political middle and the left assumes your on the far right and the right assumes your on the far left all resulting in no one actually listening to you. 😧
Another dumb ass who thinks alt right is nazism. What’s next ? Karl Marx was a right winger ? Dumbass
@@todoldtrafford Literally nobody said that. You're the only one who mentioned the alt right and Nazis
I think there are some people on the middle ground but the alt right and left have the loudest voices
@@todoldtrafford who pissed in your cereal?
I loved reading the comments and notice that everyone adores the two ladies that were so positive. Great life lesson . . . you get what you give.
The thing many people fail to understand about stereotypes in America is that the US is SO MASSIVE that it is ignorant to generalize anything about it. Depending on what state you visit you are likely going to have an entirely different experience of people, geography, and culture when visiting the Northeast compared to the Midwest, or the South, or the Pacific Northwest or the Mountain West.
Most britts can’t even comprehend how big the United States is. I’ll bet they’ve never even thought about it before. They are too busy watching our movies and TV shows to care. I do think it’s funny that they think America is what they see in movies and TV shows 🤣🤦♂️
Not to mention a lot of the stereotypes target low income communities.
That last chatty lady is on the level of a typical American's level of chattiness lol.
OMG even I'M triggered 😂 great vid!
@Anna Espinosa Yeah, I thought it was strange that a 'not-so-thin' person made the statement that Americans are all fat when she would be considered fat in the US. I am not into body shaming of any kind. Making the observation since she said it.
Joel, triggered by what? The mean spirited remarks? I do not watch your channel to be insulted.Keep it light please.We have enough negativity in the news every day.
As an American I find this really sad to watch. It’s hard to believe that people can classify people from an entire nation as being a certain way. The USA is very diverse with many nationalities, races, religious, etc., and for the most part we get along. The protests that are in the news doesn’t represent all Americans, and in fact it’s a very small percentage of the population.
why do i see comments like this on american stereotype videos and not other stereotype videos kinda seems like americans have thin skin
mate we take the piss out of any country over here, get over it. typical of an american to think the word revolves around them.
@@deaconng because you’re literally lying.. go on a video talking about the British stereotypes and you will see plenty of British people in the comments crying about it.
Lia, you did such an American thing by walking up to strangers in London and chatting with them! Some were as you would expect, but most were more than willing to chat! When I visit in June I’m going to try real hard not to be loud but I will chat with people whether they check back or not is a different thing. It’s in my DNA and it’s what I do! I’m originally from South Carolina and we talk to everybody! When I lived in England, I was shocked that no one even looked at you when you passed by. It doesn’t cost a thing to be friendly and you just might make someone’s day! You seem to really enjoy going out of your comfort zone and chatting to strangers! You looked genuinely happy! Keep it up! XO Karen
Karen J American here living in the UK and I smile at almost everyone that I walk past that makes eye contact with me, apparently (according to my british sister) people will automatically know that I’m an annoying American 😂😂
Emma Ozburn It’s so true ha ha! Sometimes I admit I found it refreshing to not feel the pressure of always talking to other people if I was in an off mood. But generally speaking after a while I kind of made it a game and would speak to people even if they weren’t looking at me to see if I could get them to speak back. Try it sometime it’s fun! Admittedly it will consist at times of saying, hello… I said hello! 𗀍𗀍𗀍
Hello from another South Carolinian.
@@xowenz9738 😂
Bro for real tho when I was visited Britain no one even dare looked at me but I'll look at them, so I decided to talk to someone I tried not to be so loud but failed badly and at the end they seemed annoy
I agree with other viewers. My favorite was the older lady. She was chatty and absolutely lovely. Everything she said was so cute!
Brits are usually mean, self absorbed, boring or all three lol. Americans are awesome!
Even Australians,Canadians and most other countries that can,t the British.
I LOVE these street interviews!! They're so clever and fun! Actually you are such a great interviewer/presenter. Keep it up Lia! Thanks! L&C 👍 ♥️😘🇬🇧
Aww thanks Tek! I would love to do more like this so that means a lot xx
You're really good at it. I'm obsessed with the English/Brit culture. And you have great style in how you bring your culture to life and a knack for drawing it out of everyday Brits in the streets. The only thing that triggers me is judging Americans for Trump. he's a hated vile man by the decent people of this country. Trump and his kind are the backlash to all the cultural evolving we as a nation were finally experiencing with a black president who was a genuinely decent human and the day same-gender marriage was "legalized" I was never more proud to be American. (Not quite the "wrap myself up in the US flag" type either) I never ever imagined seeing either of those two specific these things in my lifetime. We may actually end up with a progressive, bright compassionate woman as POTUS in 2020. You're amazing Lia. Just watching you has made me feel so damn chatty and I'm the silent type.
Lia: If you were to do a similar interview in the United States about what American think of the British, the vast majority wouldn't have anything bad to say about them. We're pretty accepting of a lot of cultures.
Yes Trump is a great example of this...
@@ticketyboo2456 The mainstream media in America with their propaganda love to put Trump down. Millions of Americans love him because he's really a Libertarian, follows the rule of law, and a Patriot.
Americans aren’t insecure & judgmental. Despite the hate we receive, we don’t judge people until we know them personally.
@@ticketyboo2456 ah yes because trump represents all of america 🤡
Not true I'm afraid
I’m an American and enjoyed this video. It was interesting to hear what Britts had to say about us. Now a little jab back. The girl that said we’re stupid needs to learn something. Many people think that English people are rude and outspoken and she needs to learn how to respectful of others. Thanks for the video Lia. You’re excellent at interviewing people. You need to go professional:)
@theaterkid Microsoft, Tesla, Boeing, Amazon etc all American made
You need to remember that the question was about stereotypes. Yes, I've heard Americans are supposed to be stupid and fat; that is the common stereotype. But, I definitely do not believe it to be true.
Stereotypes about us brits are also awful. But, that's literally how stereotypes work; they're very rarely pleasant.
Don't let it get to you. You guys are always saying we have bad teeth, and we can laugh about that. Just, have a laugh. If it's not true, then you have nothing to be offended about.
Not stupid but ignorant, rude and loud in some cases just like people in London and the south in the UK.
@jenna_xoxo now how many people are there living in America?, would be embarassing if you guys did not.
Yes, I think the English are a bit rude tbh. And they are very "gross" when they go on vacation/holidays. It's the alcohol. Seriously England, have some manners! Lol.
Great job Lia and very professional. Yes, we have over weight people here, so does the UK and many other countries. It’s very rude to call people fat. And for that woman that said we were stupid for because of who we elected, well I watch Prime Minister’s Questions which has aired in America for quite some time, you should watch it sometime. Yes, the nice blond headed woman was right, we are sadly very divided by left and right in this country. Independents are the fastest growing segment in America and we are a Centrist country. You don’t have nothing to apologize for. And the kind Lady’s at the end were awesome. Thank you Lia. Great Job.
Name some centrist veiws of america
Nah, we’re a conservative country. The Dems are centrists, sure, but overall we’re quite conservative. Our political spectrum is skewed right. I damn wish we were a centrist country, since then, maybe people wouldn’t want to fucking kill me for my political views, but y’know.
Also, it’s not just rude because of that. It’s rude because obesity and diabetes are often a result of low income communities being overrun by multinational fast food corporations that exploit them for money since they know cheap junk food is all a lot of Americans can afford on minimum wage.
Considering how many fat people were interviewed, including the one who said it, I was surprised to hear obesity as one of the stereotypes. Interesting. I was triggered, but it was an excellent video. It is interesting to hear what people think.
I thought the same thing. Those were some chunky girls that were calling us fat...
England has a bigger percentage of obesity though
Because there are a lot less people, obviously.

I love it!! I like that not all stereotypes are negative ❤️ I’ve watched it three times just to catch the awesome older ladies. They truly were lovely.
As an American, I'm not offended by the stereotypes. I've heard them all before, except that we're all stupid. That's a new one! Depends on the day. I spent time in England and was constantly reminded how I'm nothing like the stereotypical American, seeing as I'm fairly thin and quiet. Trust me, there's many people like me in America, we just blend in too much, I guess :)
I was on holidays in the UK. For some reason people kept coming up to me to ask directions, especially in London. They got a shock when I started speaking and heard that I’m a Yank. I don’t know if it’s because of my looks or the way I conduct myself. It might be a combination. Much of my family is from the UK, and therefore may have been brought up in some of the customs.
Thank you for taking us out to meet people! Field trips in London are great 😄🇺🇸💕
I love those two older ladies. They are adorable! ❤️
As an American It’s so fascinating that Brits don’t dive into conversation with strangers. Flights with (some) Americans will have you at 8 hours of chatter with the stranger you’re sitting next to 😩🤷🏻♀️😂
Same thing in Australia. In Italy where I'm from people tend to be more self centred
Not all are chatty coming from a fellow American
Oh you obviously haven't been to Glasgow in Scotland. Everyone will talk to you lol
I'm a New Yorker. They would "love" me lol.
Those two women are not exactly petite 😂 Yes, we are divided, but how about Brexit!
@India: Exactly what I was thinking!!
Brexit is messed up for sure but that's not the same thing. Btw I'm neither British or American.
My point, UK is very divided too.@@JoDee172
Absolutely love British humor!
I'm sure not one of them has ever been to America either.
The older ladies are amazing! I'm an American and I will say that I live in the state of Michigan and we all (for the most part) are very friendly and love to talk to everyone. We also talk very fast!! Everyone I know including myself love British people! YES WE LOVE THE ACCENT! Right now my husband and I are saving to go to the Isle of Wight and London.
Yep yep they don’t like us tho 🥰 how cuteeee 🤩🤩
We do have a middle ground but the extremes on both sides are a lot louder. 😂
Whatever, I'm not American but I just love how America is unique itself
Where are you from?
Also, I think that girl that called us stupid got her Karma. You did not just vote a winner in!
London did not vote for Johnson. Sorry .
I half expected while you were in the market that a man would come along with a barrow crying, "Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead" "But I'm not dead!"
Not funny..!
jwmulligan1 I’m actually getting better, really. 😂
Monty python and the holy grail
Omg i luv this movieeeeee
2:24 🥺🥺🥺🥺 they’re literally so wise.
I hate how most of the people acted all confident about their assumptions like Americans are “loud, fat, and stupid.” I’m an American and this is not true at all. Sure, sometimes people are obese but that happens everywhere.
Well I,m British and I have travelled al over the USA and there is nothing wrong with Americans,these are just assholes in this video and some of them are not British.You have an a amazing country.
Also, obesity in the US is often a product of a lack of safeguards on what manufacturers put in our food and a lack of affordability of any healthy food in low income communities due to the exploitation by multinational corporations. Most American stereotypes target the poor.
I'm from Sweden and have to say that people from US has allways been very nice and friendly to me👍
Lol
I wanna live in Sweden.
0:30: "They are fat aren't they? They're really obese" - said by a woman who has ten too many large chickens to eat. I mean seriously, how can you insult the weight of other people when you're as fat as her?
3:05 the American flags in the background have me ROTFL 😂🤣 notice how a lot of british people seem to hate us yet they got our flags on things. Absolutely hilarious!! Even funnier that you’ll never see a UK flag in the US
Because the USA has an influence on the world.
It’s an American candy shop
Love, love, love this video concept!!! Wish it was longer♥️😁
I don't think any of those stereotypes are wrong lol, well, I don't think any group of people are stupid.
That's why there called steotypes. It's all rubbish like British people having bad teeth or Americans are overweight. They may of been correct 30yrs ago but not anymore.
That was actually meaner spirited than I expected, lmao. The older ladies were sweet! The sad thing is, I actually think most Americans have a generally favorable view of the British. 😕
I hate most British
Didn’t Americans invent the internet, computers, hearing aids, traffic lights, chemotherapy, microwaves, GPS etc…? Not to mention all of the things like light bulbs and TVs that we made better. Yea I guess we are stupid. This is why Americans think Brits are pompous.
I felt a little pissed until the old ladies came. They are the saviours of this video.
00:30 BROOOOO LOOK WHO IS TALKINGG LMAOOOO
Interesting video Lia! It amuses me that there are such strong beliefs re: a group of over 300 million people!! Of course we always see through our own cultural lens- a book I highly recommend about this topic is called "The Culture Map" by Erin Meyer, super interesting!!
Thanks will check that out!
TY "American Accent Hacks" looks like an interesting read!

Now the 2 day wait...
@@NubarTrebor Awesome, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! :-)
@@NubarTrebor not wasting my money
I will look at it.
Thank you. I'm always looking for a good read. :-)
I just love how Brits end almost every sentence as a question. It's such a kind way of stating something while taking others into consideration.
I'm American and I really wanted to move to Britain but after hearing the mean stereotypes the people have I'm second guessing myself though the nice old ladies were awesome
As a brit, I've been to america and the stereotypes you lot have of british are insane. People were actually surprised my teeth was good and that mocking of our accent with "bri'ish and w'oh'ao" are annoying. Most US donnies I saw were average to above average weight. The US girls love our accents though so that's a W.
No one cares.
Do not move to the UK or Canada
Why would you ever want to move to waste small tiny island where everything is jam packed together because there’s barely any more space? Not to mention the food is terrible. Peoples attitudes are crap also.
Quite entertaining Lia. By the way, you came across so professional and personable in your interviews. You also looked amazing! I love watching you. You have such an endearing manner about you. Basically, you put people in a good mood. Please do more of these interviews. Have a great weekend!
I'm suprised, they didn't say Americans are rude, because we really can be!
Depends where are we talking about Boston or Utah? Huge difference
East coast is kind of rude. North is kind of rude... South, midwest, and west are pretty nice. Not sure what the difference is or why. My brother in law is from the north and he said they don't realize they're rude, lol. Really?
I'm Canadian, and been to Boston, Cape Cod, Maine, New York state, Baltimore, Annapolis, D.C., West Virginia, Florida, and I found most people I met were super friendly and nice, pretty much everywhere, and no more in the south than in the north. Even in NYC there were a lot of nice people (not everyone, but quite a few). Oh, and Vermont too. They really are super nice there, and pretty chill.
@@mindoverbatter3333 , maybe in the Northeast and they seem rude to your brother, but up in Minnesota and in Upper Midwest people are very kind and very nice. Wisconsin too, & many other states up there have citizens with genuinely kind manners. Also, it depends a lot on what you bring to the situation. You have to be on good behavior if you want to experience good behavior from others. OTOH, there are some people that no matter what you say they are determined to out-nice you. They don't believe in being nasty just because someone else sets a bad example.
@@JoDee172 , Cool! You probably get along with everyone because you bring your best self to the situation ☺
It’s crazy because she said we fat but look how big her shoulders were lmfao
I love Brits, the nice ones. 🙂 Not the rude girl who said we are stupid, she’s a rude cow.
I also love British humor - it’s the best!
Oh, and btw, Britain isn’t far behind us with the obesity epidemic, sadly. I hope both countries get that under control - we all deserve healthier lives!
Their food is also alot less sugary and fatty.. that being said if our foods are more dense in sugar and fat and our obesity percentages are almost the same who really eats more?
And the fact they call people stupid when they huff balloons filled with local anesthesia and snort ketamine in basements is wild. Plus they all look sad rotten and ugly. Not to mention the weather fucking sucks. Best thing that came out of England is harry potter 🤣🤣
She said Americans are really stupid because they voted Donald Trump yet she comes from a country that voted for Boris Johnson. The irony..
Also, Trump never even won the popular vote. And his presidency isn’t just some joke like Europeans seem to think. He ruined lives, perpetuated hate crimes, incited an insurrection where people died, stacked the Supreme Court with a conservative majority, had like 20+ sexual assault allegations against him, etc. I swear Europeans think he’s just some funny gimmick. Like, no, this isn’t funny. His political presence in America was a tragedy that affected low income and minority communities in America the most. I was afraid of being attacked on the street during the pandemic because of the “China virus” rhetoric he spread. Most Americans didn’t ask for Trump and they suffered when they got him anyway. Considering British democracy also is kind of a mess, I’d expect better from them.
2:17. Yes That’s how I feel exactly. Much love to this British woman.
You did a lovely job being an interviewer, Lia, but the best part of the video were the older ladies. Those girls were just plain rude. Its sad that they really think those thinga
From what I've seen, many older Brits seem to respect America a lot more than the younger ones. They either remember World War II or heard from their parents about interactions with the Americans stationed there.
@@thunderbird1921 It Nethier of those things sadly. I wish it was .
As an American I can say: yes some, maybe most of us are “loud” in certain situations. And just like many countries there is a mix of overweight ppl and skinny people. Btw most of us enjoy your accents and enjoy learning about your cultures and country. 😄
As an American
I just want to give positive vibes and lots of love to my mates in Great Britain 🇬🇧 y’all are wonderful souls each and everyone of you🫡
Loved the two lovely ladies. They are awesome!!! Great video Lia🤗😘😍
It’s literally the fat ones saying that we’re fat.😂
The funny thing is that person is the average weight in America
I can’t say I watch many British comedy shows but I do love your detective series on PBS. Death in Paradise, Midsomer Murders and Endeavour. Not that I’m obsessed with crime or anything, but they are just so well made. And Doc Martin is good too.
I loved "Lark Rise to Candleford", and most of the period pieces. Also that show with Inspector Lewis in it, and other similar crime shows. Now with thr smart TV we will be seeing a lot more, and series that are over, but you can still watch them.
beatnick92 The link to an era does add to the viewing experience, that’s probably what made Mad Men so successful.
A big girl saying they are all fat was funny to me lol
Not all she never said she wasn't
00:11 large portions?! Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
Hey everyone! I hope you like these street interviews. Definitely let me know what else you'd like to see ask the British public and I will! Lots of love, Lia x
Lia Hatzakis I totally live for British humor!!! Great video chick!!!💋
It would be fun to see you ask other Brits about American words, including slang you’ve learned while in the U.S. Maybe give each person a word/phrase and ask what it means. Multiple choice if needed. Lol.
I really enjoyed this video. That last woman and her friend were just a delight to watch!
Love it when you take me outside...... can we go to Buckington Palace to see the Royal Guards?
Lia Hatzakis
love your show.
look forward to coming to Connecticut

You are quite good at these casual interviews! Let’s see more of them! I especially loved the one with the older British women.
Hey Lia, you really do a wonderful job on your videos :-) although, i gotta say: that one lady you interviewed who said Americans were stupid needs to stuff it, to be honest.
Hey Lia, thanks for the heart :-) you are a lot of fun to watch, i am a long time subscriber to your main Joel & Lia channel and i will definitely be one to this channel too, and Joel's as well. I'm a Christian loyal legend :-)
Loved the last two ladies! They were so sweet, I wish I knew them! I lived in England for 2 years as a young bride and absolutely loved it there! I would live there in a heartbeat! I found the people I met to be very loyal. I corresponded with a lady who took me under her wing for about 40 years and I was able to go back to England to visit her after 40 years! We were older but we reconnected with love. But for the record, it is impossible to give an accurate sterotype of Americans, we are just so diverse in our backgrounds. You just have to get to know people on an individual basis to appreciate us as individuals. But I will say one thing, we are a generous country and we mostly love the Brits!
I fund urban americans as very social and talkative. I find southern Americans mote like the brits they are very friendly and reserved and easy going and im Afro-American with family in both places . I like southern ppl more they are soo warm and friendly
I guess I'm a weird American, I hate small talk and I'm quiet until you get to know me. Those two older ladies were the best!
Most Euros are know-it-alls, they just know everything about everything.
The insults don’t bother me much at all. Though they do remind one of the parting shots of a scorned lover. I guess the Brits really aren’t over the fact that the US rejected them nearly 250 years ago.
To Americans UK is a funny shaped little island with funny accents.
Smh, some of these people think their own kind can’t be “stupid”.
1:17 yup one person speaks for an entire country. How's Theresa May doing?
The super intelligent British girl pointed to the right when she said "The left is really left" and pointed to the left when she said "the right is really right."
In England left is right and right is left. That’s why they drive on the wrong side of the road :)
My best friend & neighbor, who's from Blackpool has lived in the US for 20+ years. We are both late 60s. He says he loves the opportunity he got when he moved here. I couldn't ask for a better friend. He recently passed away. Dave, I miss ya buddy
What can we say, we did vote him in...... well, not all of us!!!!
The MAJORITY of us didn't!
Definitely not all of us, it's the stupid media two party myth..I still am disappointed that Americans think the Clinton's and Donald Trump are qualified to be a lowly dog catcher, let alone any other political post..
@@martasloane8081 Facts !!!
It does not matter if its Trump or Obama or Bush, they always find an excuse to say we are fat and stupid.
Brits arent beanpoles anymore either.
Oh I wish you had a talk show here in America. I’d watch everyday! Fun!
Aww thanks Paula. That's actually one of our J&L goals!
Paula, I totally agree! I'd watch Joel & Lia every day too!
