Some people get their teefs done in USA or pay dentists to give them gleaming gnashers and they look bloody scary!! Teefs ain't supposed to be bright white!
I saw one "American in the UK" video whose British dentist said that the best crowns are your own teeth. No need to shave bits off to glue fakes on top.
Basically, we are not obsessed with perfectly white straight teeth and our free or subsidised dental care covers only the basics, not cosmetic nonsense.
The super straight and unbelievable white teeth are strictly Hollywood propaganda. Famous people with truly whiter than white teeth only exist in actors or propaganda wanna be's. It's hideous. Tell your Emily Blunt to stop with the veneers. Hollywood got to her brain. She doesn't look as lovely as she was before veneers and other face work. She was perfectly beautiful from day one. Most British actresses don't get drawn into the Hollywood foolishness. I'd like to know why the English have based a lot of their regularly expressed criticisms as though all Americans are the same (350million) and believe all the bullshit propaganda that our government puts out to the world. This has gone on since radio, old Hollywood movies, then television . It boggles the mind that a country like England, with incredible education opportunities and enormous amounts of literature that goes back centuries and has incredible people in the arts, actually believe our governments propaganda, hook, line and sinker. Some of you try to take the boat too . We love our country and our fellow Americans, regardless of what you likely hear regarding the problems. We don't like our government. And we don't believe we're better than anyone else. That's an odd one. Perhaps the confidence in an average American that is part of our culture is seen as rising above ones station, according to your country's oppressive stations of old ? We aren't afraid to take risks and fail. And we fail a lot. How boring would life be to never take risks? We're not better than anyone, being confident is not uppity or fake happy. It's rather strange to live a life where a sincere easy smile is unrecognizable. That's a touch of too much oppression over lifetimes perhaps. I'm quite happy to live in America, our many faults and all. For 5 decades of traveling all over the USA and Europe and the UK, I've never been approached by so many miserable people that come out of nowhere as though I'm the complaint department for 350 million people, than the English. Just to toddle off again. How and why do some English seem to be determined to be miserable. And why complain about the US.? Do you actually believe we should change? And change because you believe in one global set of rules? And then get your nickers in a twist because you think we don't have any nutritious bread in all 50 states? Or, you actually believe we only prepare hot water for tea in a microwave? And do you realize how petty that sounds? 1st- many of us actually drink tea. A lot of it . Most of us own a kettle, electric or stove top kettle. Are your microwaves so filthy that you couldn't heat water even if you wanted to? That must be the reason that bothers you. I can't imagine a filthy microwave. Nutritious bread We have far too many genuine bakeries to count, just for you. We speak American English. If you don't like that, get a hobby.

@@angeladormer6659 No american is good at british accents, theyve invented a new accent that they all copy and think is genuine. However.... that paul mcartney was really good you cannot deny that, thats probably the most british an american has ever sounded to my ears.

@@Darrenski Categorising the homeless as the representation of British people is a bit strange. I'm pretty sure any countries homeless population are gonna have some dental troubles lol. Especially in America at least they have the option of an NHS dentist in the uk (if there are any of them left)
Most Brits are polybeverate, which means they drink tea and coffee and hot chocolate and beer and wine and lemonade - though not usually at the same time. Some even drink water 💦
'Living in the country' usually means living in a small village, typically with a population of a few hundred or less, a few miles from the nearest town. 'Living in the city' usually means a city centre, or just outside a city centre with a population of 100s of thousands and even millions. Most Brits live in towns that are neither a city or in the countryside but with populations of around 50,000. My town on the N. Wales coast has a small population of about 25,000, is about 10 miles from the countryside and about 40 miles from the nearest city.
I must be a British stereotype , i drink tea, live in a village surrounded by beautiful countryside, adore the Royal family, well some of them, say sorry a lot more than i need to and keep a stiff upper lip... Though I don't like football and I get annoyed when people push in the line 😸🐈👍.
I genuinely haven't had a cup of tea since at least 2022 because at the beginning of this year I decide to make one and when I went to fetch a teabag from an unopened pack I noticed that the sell by date was March 2022. I chucked it in the bin and bought a new pack and that has a sell by date of 2026 and I still haven't opened that either! Oh btw, I hate football and deliberately call it soccer just to piss off every soccer fan I meet and it works!
For the perfect exemplar of the clichéd ‘British stiff upper lip’, you can’t do better than the tiger scene in Monty Python’s Meaning of Life. The fact is though that the expression - minus the word ‘British’ -is first recorded in early 19th century Massachusetts and was seemingly unknown in Britain until Dickens used it in an 1870s magazine piece!
Your 'Paul McCartney' sounded more RP than your RP! 😂 Also, i'm not particularly fond of the monarchy but i'm thankful our Head of State is not politically affiliated with any one party.
Glad that stereotypes have been tackled I see a lot of it on video on here much of it perpetuating myths. Tea was the most popular drink in the UK, it still is very popular but its popularity started to decline from about the mid-1970s when instant coffee had established itself.
A crowded, underdeveloped town is what the majority of british towns are - they are crowded with a lack of housing and none of the great amenities of London, for instance parks, art galleries, theatres and so on, they are just endless housing schemes and out of town retail parks. Flats in the middle of nowhere is probably referring to the barren suburbs of said towns and cities. Horrible!
Oh fair do's, we do make a fuss with tea. Not many countries have special names for the strength of their tea. Builder's tea, and maiden's' pi** for example. And our afternoon teas are legendary. Others may copy us but we are so comfortable with it. We know instintively which sandwiches and scones to serve and how to do it. And never will I forget the day someone rear-ended my car. putting it out of action, when 5 minutes later an elderly lady emerged from her house with a tea tray complete with two china cups of piping hot 'Yorkshire', a milk jug, some sugar cubes and a china plateful of dainty biscuits. Best first aid ever!
The teeth thing is most likely predicated on early TV and film. Unlike Holywood, our industry and society embraced diversity of appearance. So you could be famous, whilst being normal. Unlike Holywood stardom, which relied more heavily on cosmetic surgery and dentistry to produce artificial representations of beauty. Some might go so far as to say we judged people more on their character and talent than on their looks. So our movies were full of normal looking people. But Britain still sired some of Holywood's great beauty's and leading men, Olivia De Havilland, Vivian Leigh, Cary Grant. But if you watched a British film, it was more likley to star an Alec Guiness or Peter Cushing (great actors not pretty faces) than a Jude Law and so American's came to see that in the 30's, 40's and 50's as representing British people. Not perfect looking.
I think we do drink a lot of tea over here. It's a hot day "drink a cup of tea it'll cool you down". A cold day "a cup of tea will warm you up". In shock "A cup of tea is good for that". I prefer coffee myself. There is so much more to Britain than London, everyone copies RP or cockney accents. I'm from the South West, it's a lot of countryside here, but we do have big cities too, and a totally different accent 😁
Irish Brit in London Talking about the weather is good for killing the unbearable silence in awkward situations. I believe in the mighty Q and if you push in front of me you’d better run and run FAST because I simply will NOT TOLERATE IT I DONT drink tea but e everyone in my family does - my mother EEALLY around with a tea drip directly into her veins I don’t care for football I LOVE the British royal family (apart from ginger whinger and poison spice) and the whole of my Irish family LOVE the royal family - they do so much good in the world and the appalling behaviour of our elected politicians has only fuelled love for the royals because from the moment they are born they are trained and prepared for a life of service.
Many live in the suburbs, and many live in smaller towns dotted around the country. I live in a village, I personally find it idyllic. It is only four miles from a small town, 20 minutes from two other towns and 1/2 hour from a choice of two large towns with lovely countryside in between and all with a rich history.
This British person lives on the edge of a town in an average house (not a manor or a thatched cottage), I have a Welsh accent, I hate football, I drink coffee not tea, I have nice teeth, I hate having to queue but accept I have to, I find it virtually impossible to have a stiff upper lip and only mention the weather occasionally as a quick comment when I have nothing else to say. On the other hand, I like to be polite so I do say sorry a lot (but I don't think that is just Brits) and I do appreciate the work our Royals do towards promoting the country and charities). Personally, I find most of these stereotypes funny - unless being constantly offered tea when travelling, and the dental one. We have good teeth in Britain. This one is a left over from the 1900's when actually the whole world had bad teeth.
Not sure about minimising the British obsession with weather. According to Wiipedia : "The meteorologist George James Symons published the first annual volume of British Rainfall in 1860. This pioneering work contained rainfall records from 168 land stations in England and Wales" and this marked a development frm near 200 years of British measurements getting going. And according to the Met Office : "The Central England Temperature (CET) series is the longest-running instrumental temperature series in the world. By collating and combining early instrumental records, the series charts monthly temperature statistics from 1659." There may be fire behind the smoke.
Years ago, I did some research into Royal Finances, all of which are public, the majority of the earnings from the Crown Estate goes to the treasury. The Royals agree an amount to keep for duties, repairs to properties etc. In fact they get 'wages' which are set by the government, so it would actually cost the treasury to get rid of them.
Charles Windsor just got a £100million windfall because HE OWNS THE OCEAN FLOOR below the wind turbines. He’s already one of the biggest landowners in the country with exclusive use of the crown estate, even though technically he doesn’t own it. Time to repatriate the land grabbed by William the Pillager and shared out among his mates, like the Grosvenors
The tea one is absolutely true! Per capita, the UK ranks 2nd or third in the World for tea drinking! The whole process of tea drinking is a deeply embedded part of British culture. Feeling down? I'll put the kettle on. Just broken up with your partner? I'll make you a nice cuppa. Friends or family pop round. I'll make some tea. It's true that we drink a lot of coffee too but more tea is drunk than coffee, by far! Moreover, coffee drinking isn't embedded in British culture, as tea drinking is. :)
Why do people (from different countries) say we have such shit teeth? I have good teeth & didn't my first filling until 34. I've never heard someone talk like Dick van Dyke. We're not a perfect nation, but no one else is allowed to say different 🙂
My ex husband married an American woman who set to work on his slightly crooked and I always thought cheekily characterful teeth (and also on my son's but that was a step too far) I don't have much to do with them now, but while talking to her I was fixated by what I thought were plastic tombstones clipped on with bits of wire. Much more photogenic than mine, but in real life, oh dear. My ex's the same, bright white, and suspiciously even, and quite incongruous with his older, more gnarled visage.
I get where the whole British loving tea comes form but he’s right about coffee 100%. I’d say for every 5 or 6 people I know who drink coffee there is one who prefers tea. Every girlfriend I’ve ever had only drank coffee, I only ever drink coffee and my mum, dad and all 7 siblings all prefer coffee and the same for my extended family 😂 it’s an untrue stereotype that people even in England act like it’s true because it’s not exactly embarrassing, harmless stereotype but it’s untrue in my town anyway just outside Liverpool. Also speaking of accents I live in a little town and out accent is unique to our town alone, St. Helens has its own accent. Warrington has its own accent, all right next to Liverpool and then there’s ours an a few others and some towns are further away from Liverpool than we are and still speak scouse. But it’s also a different accent of scouse because I can tell if somebody is from Runcorn or Liverpool by hearing a couple words easily. Accents are crazy in the UK. Also Paul McCartney hasn’t sounded scouse for about 5 decades 😂 and even when he did he is a posh scouser. I’ve lived here 30 years and never met anybody in Liverpool who speaks like him. I’ve also never spoke to anybody who likes the royal family other than my Nan. I’ve never met a religious person obviously outside of priests an stuff apart from my Nan
The royal Family costs about 107.5 Million this year (2022/3) and brought in 1.766 Billion in Tourism and Business deals, so the benefits far out way the cost, which is about 0.006 of the amount brought in. The Crown Dependency ( what the crown own ) is only 3 or 4 % of the British Isle so very little in terms of ownership. Hop this helps.😊🧡
There is absolutely zero evidence the royals bring in any money through tourism. I have no idea what your sources are but they are clearly just speculation. It's just a cliche pro monarchy types always trot out which was gleaned from fresh air
And even if they brought in 100 billion the likes of Andrew and mountbatten render any amount of money meaningless. Even if those plucked from thin air stats were true.
I'd also say 3-4% of an entire nation is a very significant amount of land given the amount of homeless ppl we have. And the fact that a murdered young women's body was found on said land and has never been fully explained. But nothing you ever say to a monarchist will matter as they'll always have a completely baseless cliche to justify an outdated and thoroughly vulgar level of elitism.
@@Darrenski You have missed the point in saying about the Homelessness, as this has nothing to do with the Monarchy. It is entirely down to which ever Party is in power as they hold the purse strings and years of underfunding the social Housing (previously called Council Housing) by ALL POLITICAL PARTIES no matter which one you follow. Without sounding nasty they suddenly find the Money and Accommodation for all the illegal Immigrants being forced on us by the European Union so why could they not do this for the Homeless which we have had for a number of years. If Blue Hair's can manage to do this for immigrants then they should have cleared up thee Indigenous homeless first. CHARITY STARTS AT HOME.
@@Darrenskihow is being born into royalty any different from being born into a very rich family? Wanna abolish their vulgar level of elitism too lol
Hes suffers from that standard septic thing where you think you have a talent you don't have. Unfortunately he also thinks he's funny, so he does it in every video. It should be called im a twat syndrome. A lot of Americans think they're really really funny, so you do get a regular headache from them. I only know one bloke that is fine to listen to and thats Sleeperdude. Nice calm and collected, you would think hes not from America. Love him and his family. 😊
@@AlBarzUKHaha you also don't hear working class people say 'mocking' unless they're tasking the piss. I meant when posh people say it - I thought they meant carry on being posh. Talk without moving you top lip and you sound posh 🧐
😆 the mcartney accent was actually really decent 👏👏 Also, not related, but feel like this was my dose of karma for the day. I got a Christmas song stuck in someones head earlier. Started watching this on the bus after work, and the silent pause when sat with the mug copying Simon pegg meant I got to hear 'baby shark' at full volume, from a woman playing it for her kid. That's going to be my background track for the rest of the night. Everyone pray for me 🥹🥺
😂 I also had karma come for me I laughed at my friend for being the only person I know to get pneumonia in summer ( I know it's very serious but we laugh at each others pain) 😅 and then three hours later I fractured my tailbone in the stupidest way possible. 😂
1. I bought one of your mugs. 2. Your English is terrible. 3. You Paul Mccartney is spot on! 4. Any chance you can do a reaction video to a Ze Frank - True Facts video? (Maybe on a second channel).
Showing footage of "Father Ted", a depiction of stereotypical Irish tea culture, while describing how "us Brits" love tea, is very on brand for the Brits. As much as I enjoy these reactions and OG vids, maybe use actual depictions of Britishness when discussing them. As we say in Ireland, the Brits are "never not at it"
As somebody who lived in south east London until I was 34 years old, I was always offended by anybody calling me a Cockney. I'm not a bleeding Cockney! Very different accents and for the most part, different attitudes to life.
It was a bit confusing but he was saying the stereotype was that we either live in London or in a cute cottage in the countryside. But there are many other UK cities other than London, and there are lots of alternatives to the countryside stereotypes. I've never lived or worked in London and I've never lived in a cottage in the countryside. I've lived in Lyme Regis (a small town on the Dorset coast), a village 6 miles south of the city of Leicester, Eastbourne (a town on the Sussex coast) and now I live in Macclesfield (a small town south of Manchester where I work, and west of the Peak District)
Yeah, its not either London or the Cotswolds. But he missed what he said as always because je was busy trying to be funny again.. which he of course isnt. But you could live in all kinds of shitty places in an area they haven't done up. im drom up north and all those cities up there weren't all Amazing when i used to visit as a teen. Take Manchester, that wasnt too nice before they did it over...
Oh dear !! The return of the South African accent he thinks sounds English !! NO English person sounds like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins !! Cockney and RP are NOT British accents !! They are ENGLISH accents !!
Brits have better teeth because they have their teeth. They dont just knock them all out and start again. Its also funny that people think some sort of evolution has happened when germanic people split. Went to britain got bad teeth, but then went to America and evolved to have better teeth lol. This stereotype comes from american soldiers in britain in WW2 when they literally didnt have any means to brush their teeth because a toothbrush or toothpaste(probably powder back then) would be like 2 weeks worth of rations. American soldiers were not smart enough to realise what 2 year rations actualy meant so returned stateside with strange oppinions. Unlike the black American GI's who returned home with no tolerance for jim crow after being treated equally in britain. So ya know swings and roundabouts.
I was born in London 54 years ago to English parents, grandparents and great grandparents. I'm as English as they come. I hate tea, can't stand the stuff.
Love your videos, you are so funny, your English accents 🤣🤣 don't still believe the tea thing, I don't drink tea and most my family/friends along with me prefer coffee, most cafe's serve more coffee than tea, I don't get into the Royals or Politics, they have no affect on my life at all, I'm late 60s and live for the day, treat people kindly and if I wake up in the morning it's a bonus, one more day to do things 🤣x
I agree with pretty much everything you say. Never drunk a cup of tea in my life though, despite 6 decades of trying. Coffee for me please, and the royals... yeah they're good for American period dramas I guess, but as for my life they mean less than nothing. Especially given the amount of homeless people I see on our high street which seems to grow every time I go into the city centre, despite the plucked from thin air 'they bring in x gazillions in tourism' cliche pro monarchy types trot out to defend that vulgar level elitist nonsense.
Maybe I'm atypical. I will not drink tea. I don't drink alcohol. I avoid spectator sport and football is definitely one I actively choose to block. I have no interest in the royalty but note the discrepancy between their subsidised lifestyle and those forced to use foodbanks. I've never been to London and am often irked that quiz shows expect us to know all about landmarks and Tube stations - a regional bias. I like that we have a wide range of accents; it's tiresome that we are all thought to speak like Dick van Dyke or the guy who played Daphne's brother in Frasier (a truly dreadful accent).
Father Ted is about an Irish household of priests. The Irish probably drink as much tea as us Brits. Ireland is an independent country and the people are Irish - not British.
I like the Royals ,Before Covid the Royal family earnt Britain £8.3 Billion to £ 8.6 Billion a year in tourism, more then the government, they do alot of charity work to.
We drink a shit load of tea and it is a ritual in most brits lives. I feel the person who wrote this doesn't like tea. We also are one the largest tea drinkers in the world.
The republicans in Britain have never thought it through. Who do they think our armed forces fight for? Some here-today-gone-tomorrow politician who is only interested in furthering their career? The monarchy shares the same values with the armed forces - duty and service. The King is the Commander-in-chief of our military. The monarchy is a constitutional monarchy which means it is non-political and Parliament runs the country - the Monarch basically rubber stamps all the laws, etc.
Well that's not right. I have a weekly Shed weather update with all me pals from the biscuit mines. PS Why is he using an Irish Parochial house as an example of British behaviour? He's old enough to know the difference. The majority of the UK is dotted with villages and smallish towns, even many cities are quite small, and if you went for a short bus ride, you would be in the countryside. My comfort level is that I should be able to walk for no more than an hour to be in a field or at least a large common. Many towns are indeed in the middle of nowhere, and often only grew up around a railway station or ford in a river etc. Anything that was even remotely important for commerce or manufacturing didn't stay small past the 19thC.
Tea. Basic statistics will say how many millions of cups of tea we drink per year, then divide it by the population, giving an average per person per day. Bad research. I never drink tea. I drink coffee. A maximum of two hits per day, the big difference between tea drinkers and coffee drinkers is the tea fiends will drink tea ALL DAY. Wake up, tea. Breakfast, mid morning and so on until dinner and one before breakfast. Few people drink coffee like that. So the TOTAL cups of tea per year, or the AVERAGE based on assuming we ALL drink tea will misrepresent reality on the ground. Like the video says, 50%+ of us Brits don’t drink ANY tea AT ALL. Whereas the tea drinkers pour rhe damn stuff down their gobs every five minutes. Social reality is complicated y’all.
22% of British people at some point int heir lives will have a cavity where as 92% of American's will at some point - Tea is more of a at home thing where as coffee is usually something you do when out at a cafe or when you are shopping etc. obviously there is some overlap there.
While I know stats aren't perfect, they don't support your claim. Being anti-monarchy myself, I wish you were right and maybe we could finally be rid of it, but the facts are that most Brits are either in favour of the monarchy or just don't care either way. It's only in certain groups (e.g. under 25s) where the majority seem to be genuinely anti-monarchy. While it's certainly becoming more common to be either apathetic towards the monarchy or actively want it abolished, most over 25s do not want to see the monarchy abolished, according to multiple sources
According to the world health organisation, the Brits have better teeth/ oral care than Americans..
That's very true 😊
Yeah, he missed that statement when he was preoccupied looking at British teeth
@@matthewjamison to be fair, we just saw photos of teeth there was no proof it was British

Nutritious bread

Yes!! This is basically the equivalent to an American ‘Hey watch it jackass!’ 🤣
Tea most certainly is a very real obsession in the UK.
Drinking it, perhaps. I just wish more people would pay attention to what's going into the pot, then the overall quality might improve.

'Living in the country' usually means living in a small village, typically with a population of a few hundred or less, a few miles from the nearest town. 'Living in the city' usually means a city centre, or just outside a city centre with a population of 100s of thousands and even millions. Most Brits live in towns that are neither a city or in the countryside but with populations of around 50,000. My town on the N. Wales coast has a small population of about 25,000, is about 10 miles from the countryside and about 40 miles from the nearest city.
Actually it means THE country. Only we just got bored of always putting best after 'the', so just shortened it.
You anywhere near Hawarden btw where my long late g'dad lived?
I must be a British stereotype , i drink tea, live in a village surrounded by beautiful countryside, adore the Royal family, well some of them, say sorry a lot more than i need to and keep a stiff upper lip... Though I don't like football and I get annoyed when people push in the line 😸🐈👍.
84% of Brits drink tea every day. 🫖☕️
I genuinely haven't had a cup of tea since at least 2022 because at the beginning of this year I decide to make one and when I went to fetch a teabag from an unopened pack I noticed that the sell by date was March 2022. I chucked it in the bin and bought a new pack and that has a sell by date of 2026 and I still haven't opened that either! Oh btw, I hate football and deliberately call it soccer just to piss off every soccer fan I meet and it works!
"Nuclear war has begun".
"I'll put the kettle on".
Yes that'll sort that out
I can’t watch anymore WatchMojo. My mojo just goes poop.
For the perfect exemplar of the clichéd ‘British stiff upper lip’, you can’t do better than the tiger scene in Monty Python’s Meaning of Life. The fact is though that the expression - minus the word ‘British’ -is first recorded in early 19th century Massachusetts and was seemingly unknown in Britain until Dickens used it in an 1870s magazine piece!
I think he’s wrong about tea. Don’t get me wrong I *need* one coffee a day but I want about 7 teas
I'm from the North West but my county, Cheshire, has various dialects within a few miles.
Fact, I'm from Cheshire too
The british are more into having Good strong teeth,
Teeth whitening is the UK is not a Must have thing
Spot on 😊
It also weakens the enamel so is a pretty dumb thing to do. It's the dental version of a face-lift or gone badly wrong botox lips.
Your 'Paul McCartney' sounded more RP than your RP! 😂 Also, i'm not particularly fond of the monarchy but i'm thankful our Head of State is not politically affiliated with any one party.
Yeah but you'd change your mind very fast if you realised who the royals are 'affiliated' to
@@Darrenskioh get your tinfoil hats out boys
I thought he sounded a Brummie
@@lisaknipe3551 I think I could go for a monarchy from Brum. The opening of Parliament would be a giggle for once.
JJ, if you want a voice coach to help you with that British accent please give me a shout😂
I cringe everytime that he tries to do a British accent. It is so bad.
Glad that stereotypes have been tackled I see a lot of it on video on here much of it perpetuating myths.
Tea was the most popular drink in the UK, it still is very popular but its popularity started to decline from about the mid-1970s when instant coffee had established itself.
Some of us also live in small flats in small, non descript towns.
OMG your McCartney impersonation is really good. That took me by surprise.
But not every city is London and anywhere with flats is not the countryside.
JJLA you are so funny at times.
A crowded, underdeveloped town is what the majority of british towns are - they are crowded with a lack of housing and none of the great amenities of London, for instance parks, art galleries, theatres and so on, they are just endless housing schemes and out of town retail parks. Flats in the middle of nowhere is probably referring to the barren suburbs of said towns and cities. Horrible!
Oh fair do's, we do make a fuss with tea. Not many countries have special names for the strength of their tea. Builder's tea, and maiden's' pi** for example. And our afternoon teas are legendary. Others may copy us but we are so comfortable with it. We know instintively which sandwiches and scones to serve and how to do it. And never will I forget the day someone rear-ended my car. putting it out of action, when 5 minutes later an elderly lady emerged from her house with a tea tray complete with two china cups of piping hot 'Yorkshire', a milk jug, some sugar cubes and a china plateful of dainty biscuits. Best first aid ever!
The teeth thing is most likely predicated on early TV and film. Unlike Holywood, our industry and society embraced diversity of appearance. So you could be famous, whilst being normal. Unlike Holywood stardom, which relied more heavily on cosmetic surgery and dentistry to produce artificial representations of beauty.
Some might go so far as to say we judged people more on their character and talent than on their looks. So our movies were full of normal looking people. But Britain still sired some of Holywood's great beauty's and leading men, Olivia De Havilland, Vivian Leigh, Cary Grant. But if you watched a British film, it was more likley to star an Alec Guiness or Peter Cushing (great actors not pretty faces) than a Jude Law and so American's came to see that in the 30's, 40's and 50's as representing British people. Not perfect looking.
I think we do drink a lot of tea over here. It's a hot day "drink a cup of tea it'll cool you down". A cold day "a cup of tea will warm you up". In shock "A cup of tea is good for that". I prefer coffee myself.
There is so much more to Britain than London, everyone copies RP or cockney accents. I'm from the South West, it's a lot of countryside here, but we do have big cities too, and a totally different accent 😁
Can't start the day without a cuppa tea
Irish Brit in London
Talking about the weather is good for killing the unbearable silence in awkward situations.
I believe in the mighty Q and if you push in front of me you’d better run and run FAST because I simply will NOT TOLERATE IT
I DONT drink tea but e everyone in my family does - my mother EEALLY around with a tea drip directly into her veins
I don’t care for football
I LOVE the British royal family (apart from ginger whinger and poison spice) and the whole of my Irish family LOVE the royal family - they do so much good in the world and the appalling behaviour of our elected politicians has only fuelled love for the royals because from the moment they are born they are trained and prepared for a life of service.
Poison spice. LOL
Turkey, apparently, drinks the most Tea, which I can confirm, having visited twice. Ireland is second, and UK, third.
Many live in the suburbs, and many live in smaller towns dotted around the country. I live in a village, I personally find it idyllic. It is only four miles from a small town, 20 minutes from two other towns and 1/2 hour from a choice of two large towns with lovely countryside in between and all with a rich history.
This British person lives on the edge of a town in an average house (not a manor or a thatched cottage), I have a Welsh accent, I hate football, I drink coffee not tea, I have nice teeth, I hate having to queue but accept I have to, I find it virtually impossible to have a stiff upper lip and only mention the weather occasionally as a quick comment when I have nothing else to say. On the other hand, I like to be polite so I do say sorry a lot (but I don't think that is just Brits) and I do appreciate the work our Royals do towards promoting the country and charities). Personally, I find most of these stereotypes funny - unless being constantly offered tea when travelling, and the dental one. We have good teeth in Britain. This one is a left over from the 1900's when actually the whole world had bad teeth.
Brits do drink a LOT of tea. The Monarch has about 75% support.
Not sure about minimising the British obsession with weather.
According to Wiipedia : "The meteorologist George James Symons published the first annual volume of British Rainfall in 1860. This pioneering work contained rainfall records from 168 land stations in England and Wales" and this marked a development frm near 200 years of British measurements getting going.
And according to the Met Office : "The Central England Temperature (CET) series is the longest-running instrumental temperature series in the world. By collating and combining early instrumental records, the series charts monthly temperature statistics from 1659."
There may be fire behind the smoke.
OMFG your McCartney accent is really good I was cooking and thought he'd come on an advert
I agree, sounds spot on
Years ago, I did some research into Royal Finances, all of which are public, the majority of the earnings from the Crown Estate goes to the treasury. The Royals agree an amount to keep for duties, repairs to properties etc. In fact they get 'wages' which are set by the government, so it would actually cost the treasury to get rid of them.
Charles Windsor just got a £100million windfall because HE OWNS THE OCEAN FLOOR below the wind turbines. He’s already one of the biggest landowners in the country with exclusive use of the crown estate, even though technically he doesn’t own it. Time to repatriate the land grabbed by William the Pillager and shared out among his mates, like the Grosvenors
The tea one is absolutely true! Per capita, the UK ranks 2nd or third in the World for tea drinking! The whole process of tea drinking is a deeply embedded part of British culture. Feeling down? I'll put the kettle on. Just broken up with your partner? I'll make you a nice cuppa. Friends or family pop round. I'll make some tea. It's true that we drink a lot of coffee too but more tea is drunk than coffee, by far! Moreover, coffee drinking isn't embedded in British culture, as tea drinking is. :)
We have:
City's
Towns
Villages
Countryside.
Why do people (from different countries) say we have such shit teeth? I have good teeth & didn't my first filling until 34. I've never heard someone talk like Dick van Dyke. We're not a perfect nation, but no one else is allowed to say different 🙂
My ex husband married an American woman who set to work on his slightly crooked and I always thought cheekily characterful teeth (and also on my son's but that was a step too far) I don't have much to do with them now, but while talking to her I was fixated by what I thought were plastic tombstones clipped on with bits of wire. Much more photogenic than mine, but in real life, oh dear. My ex's the same, bright white, and suspiciously even, and quite incongruous with his older, more gnarled visage.
Love your vids. we need to know more about you. Love the Brits and Canadians, truly. As a US cit I probably drink more tea than most on the continent
The 'Zombie thing' is Meg Mucklebones from the Tom Cruise / Tim Curry movie, 'Legend'. Wonderful make-up & costume on Robert Picardo.
Brilliant film one of my favourites alongside Killer Clowns from outer space, the Flight of Dragons and the Never-ending Story
I get where the whole British loving tea comes form but he’s right about coffee 100%. I’d say for every 5 or 6 people I know who drink coffee there is one who prefers tea. Every girlfriend I’ve ever had only drank coffee, I only ever drink coffee and my mum, dad and all 7 siblings all prefer coffee and the same for my extended family 😂 it’s an untrue stereotype that people even in England act like it’s true because it’s not exactly embarrassing, harmless stereotype but it’s untrue in my town anyway just outside Liverpool. Also speaking of accents I live in a little town and out accent is unique to our town alone, St. Helens has its own accent. Warrington has its own accent, all right next to Liverpool and then there’s ours an a few others and some towns are further away from Liverpool than we are and still speak scouse. But it’s also a different accent of scouse because I can tell if somebody is from Runcorn or Liverpool by hearing a couple words easily. Accents are crazy in the UK. Also Paul McCartney hasn’t sounded scouse for about 5 decades 😂 and even when he did he is a posh scouser. I’ve lived here 30 years and never met anybody in Liverpool who speaks like him. I’ve also never spoke to anybody who likes the royal family other than my Nan. I’ve never met a religious person obviously outside of priests an stuff apart from my Nan
Coffee = mornings and cafes. Tea = when the first two don’t apply.
The last video the person ranting is Charlie Brooker the creator of Black Mirror and Screen wipe
The royal Family costs about 107.5 Million this year (2022/3) and brought in 1.766 Billion in Tourism and Business deals, so the benefits far out way the cost, which is about 0.006 of the amount brought in. The Crown Dependency ( what the crown own ) is only 3 or 4 % of the British Isle so very little in terms of ownership. Hop this helps.😊🧡
There is absolutely zero evidence the royals bring in any money through tourism. I have no idea what your sources are but they are clearly just speculation. It's just a cliche pro monarchy types always trot out which was gleaned from fresh air
And even if they brought in 100 billion the likes of Andrew and mountbatten render any amount of money meaningless. Even if those plucked from thin air stats were true.
I'd also say 3-4% of an entire nation is a very significant amount of land given the amount of homeless ppl we have. And the fact that a murdered young women's body was found on said land and has never been fully explained. But nothing you ever say to a monarchist will matter as they'll always have a completely baseless cliche to justify an outdated and thoroughly vulgar level of elitism.
@@Darrenski You have missed the point in saying about the Homelessness, as this has nothing to do with the Monarchy. It is entirely down to which ever Party is in power as they hold the purse strings and years of underfunding the social Housing (previously called Council Housing) by ALL POLITICAL PARTIES no matter which one you follow. Without sounding nasty they suddenly find the Money and Accommodation for all the illegal Immigrants being forced on us by the European Union so why could they not do this for the Homeless which we have had for a number of years. If Blue Hair's can manage to do this for immigrants then they should have cleared up thee Indigenous homeless first. CHARITY STARTS AT HOME.
@@Darrenskihow is being born into royalty any different from being born into a very rich family? Wanna abolish their vulgar level of elitism too lol
Why always a “Dick Van Dyke” Cokney accent when he mimics a British accent?
Hes suffers from that standard septic thing where you think you have a talent you don't have. Unfortunately he also thinks he's funny, so he does it in every video. It should be called im a twat syndrome. A lot of Americans think they're really really funny, so you do get a regular headache from them. I only know one bloke that is fine to listen to and thats Sleeperdude. Nice calm and collected, you would think hes not from America. Love him and his family. 😊
I always thought that 'a stiff upper lip' meant being posh because posh people don't move their upper lip when talking
Nah. You don’t hear working class people saying “Stiff upper lip!” - unless they’re mocking.
@@AlBarzUKHaha you also don't hear working class people say 'mocking' unless they're tasking the piss. I meant when posh people say it - I thought they meant carry on being posh. Talk without moving you top lip and you sound posh 🧐
😆 the mcartney accent was actually really decent 👏👏
Also, not related, but feel like this was my dose of karma for the day.
I got a Christmas song stuck in someones head earlier.
Started watching this on the bus after work, and the silent pause when sat with the mug copying Simon pegg meant I got to hear 'baby shark' at full volume, from a woman playing it for her kid.
That's going to be my background track for the rest of the night.
Everyone pray for me 🥹🥺
😂 I also had karma come for me I laughed at my friend for being the only person I know to get pneumonia in summer ( I know it's very serious but we laugh at each others pain) 😅 and then three hours later I fractured my tailbone in the stupidest way possible. 😂
@amajinjams6966 😆
stupidest way possible, which was....🤔
Not to burst your bubble, but that Paul McCartney accent was definitely AI
@@SamTurtonsamsamsam999 tbf I did just say the accent was decent, so kinda covers it being him OR ai 😆
1. I bought one of your mugs.
2. Your English is terrible.
3. You Paul Mccartney is spot on!
4. Any chance you can do a reaction video to a Ze Frank - True Facts video? (Maybe on a second channel).
Showing footage of "Father Ted", a depiction of stereotypical Irish tea culture, while describing how "us Brits" love tea, is very on brand for the Brits. As much as I enjoy these reactions and OG vids, maybe use actual depictions of Britishness when discussing them. As we say in Ireland, the Brits are "never not at it"
British Made TV show.
Hard to say which of your accents is most hilariously awful.
As somebody who lived in south east London until I was 34 years old, I was always offended by anybody calling me a Cockney. I'm not a bleeding Cockney! Very different accents and for the most part, different attitudes to life.
Well if you couldn't hear the bell its fair ..😅
It was a bit confusing but he was saying the stereotype was that we either live in London or in a cute cottage in the countryside. But there are many other UK cities other than London, and there are lots of alternatives to the countryside stereotypes. I've never lived or worked in London and I've never lived in a cottage in the countryside. I've lived in Lyme Regis (a small town on the Dorset coast), a village 6 miles south of the city of Leicester, Eastbourne (a town on the Sussex coast) and now I live in Macclesfield (a small town south of Manchester where I work, and west of the Peak District)
Yeah, its not either London or the Cotswolds. But he missed what he said as always because je was busy trying to be funny again.. which he of course isnt. But you could live in all kinds of shitty places in an area they haven't done up. im drom up north and all those cities up there weren't all Amazing when i used to visit as a teen. Take Manchester, that wasnt too nice before they did it over...
JJ. That is one 💩 Paul McCartney accent my friend. 😂
It’s not actually that bad to be honest
I think the stats for football is about a third of the population watch it. Those of us who do are pretty obsessed though!
Most of us live in tiny houses in suburbia.
Had a hand shake with Queen Camilla on the day you posted this 😊
I prefer coffee. So does just about everyone I know!
Oh dear !! The return of the South African accent he thinks sounds English !!
NO English person sounds like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins !!
Cockney and RP are NOT British accents !! They are ENGLISH accents !!
Oh God! It’s so cringy!
Football and Rugby League are more working class than Rugby Union 🎩
That is very true I'm a big rugby fan and i can't stand football.
Brits have better teeth because they have their teeth. They dont just knock them all out and start again. Its also funny that people think some sort of evolution has happened when germanic people split. Went to britain got bad teeth, but then went to America and evolved to have better teeth lol. This stereotype comes from american soldiers in britain in WW2 when they literally didnt have any means to brush their teeth because a toothbrush or toothpaste(probably powder back then) would be like 2 weeks worth of rations. American soldiers were not smart enough to realise what 2 year rations actualy meant so returned stateside with strange oppinions. Unlike the black American GI's who returned home with no tolerance for jim crow after being treated equally in britain. So ya know swings and roundabouts.
Why do many USA TH-camrs wear hats indoors? Present company excepted, of course!
I was born in London 54 years ago to English parents, grandparents and great grandparents. I'm as English as they come. I hate tea, can't stand the stuff.
I would wager that there are now more coffee houses than tea shops in Britain these days...tea...I can't stand the stuff...
Love your videos, you are so funny, your English accents 🤣🤣 don't still believe the tea thing, I don't drink tea and most my family/friends along with me prefer coffee, most cafe's serve more coffee than tea, I don't get into the Royals or Politics, they have no affect on my life at all, I'm late 60s and live for the day, treat people kindly and if I wake up in the morning it's a bonus, one more day to do things 🤣x
I agree with pretty much everything you say. Never drunk a cup of tea in my life though, despite 6 decades of trying. Coffee for me please, and the royals... yeah they're good for American period dramas I guess, but as for my life they mean less than nothing. Especially given the amount of homeless people I see on our high street which seems to grow every time I go into the city centre, despite the plucked from thin air 'they bring in x gazillions in tourism' cliche pro monarchy types trot out to defend that vulgar level elitist nonsense.
There is no wrong "line," they all lead to a till sooner or later.
Maybe I'm atypical. I will not drink tea. I don't drink alcohol. I avoid spectator sport and football is definitely one I actively choose to block. I have no interest in the royalty but note the discrepancy between their subsidised lifestyle and those forced to use foodbanks. I've never been to London and am often irked that quiz shows expect us to know all about landmarks and Tube stations - a regional bias. I like that we have a wide range of accents; it's tiresome that we are all thought to speak like Dick van Dyke or the guy who played Daphne's brother in Frasier (a truly dreadful accent).
the Paul impression got worse n worse but I have to say I was impressed how far form your own voice it sounded
Father Ted is about an Irish household of priests. The Irish probably drink as much tea as us Brits. Ireland is an independent country and the people are Irish - not British.
It was made by a British tv company though!
"Sorry?"= "fek you"
I like the Royals ,Before Covid the Royal family earnt Britain £8.3 Billion to £ 8.6 Billion a year in tourism, more then the government, they do alot of charity work to.
We drink a shit load of tea and it is a ritual in most brits lives. I feel the person who wrote this doesn't like tea. We also are one the largest tea drinkers in the world.
JJ would you make a brummie girl very happy if you were to attempt a brummie accent.....🤣
We gather in sheds to discuss... special stuff
I'd swap discuss with 'smoke'
Your mccartney accent is better than your other british accent
Awesome content😊😊😊
Well said I'm the same as you 😊
What about the stereotypes about British food . It's usually Americans that have that idea . British food is great !
You're kidding yourself if you think you can half do any British accent.
The republicans in Britain have never thought it through. Who do they think our armed forces fight for? Some here-today-gone-tomorrow politician who is only interested in furthering their career? The monarchy shares the same values with the armed forces - duty and service. The King is the Commander-in-chief of our military. The monarchy is a constitutional monarchy which means it is non-political and Parliament runs the country - the Monarch basically rubber stamps all the laws, etc.
Tea for me thank you very much. Coffee is just a burnt, bitter, yuck drink in my opinion. Crack on with the reactions, I do enjoy them. Cheers.
That Paul McCarthy accent was a bit disconcerting. It was good , but ABIT off putting lol
I'm a Brit and my favourite hot beverage is mulled wine 🤪🥴🙃
My favourite warm drink is the scotch I accidentally leave on the radiator too long
8:05 Oh god - please stop! My ears! My ears!
Well that's not right. I have a weekly Shed weather update with all me pals from the biscuit mines. PS Why is he using an Irish Parochial house as an example of British behaviour? He's old enough to know the difference. The majority of the UK is dotted with villages and smallish towns, even many cities are quite small, and if you went for a short bus ride, you would be in the countryside. My comfort level is that I should be able to walk for no more than an hour to be in a field or at least a large common. Many towns are indeed in the middle of nowhere, and often only grew up around a railway station or ford in a river etc. Anything that was even remotely important for commerce or manufacturing didn't stay small past the 19thC.
British people tend not to care about having perfect teeth. As long as they're healthy and your breath doesn't smell, who cares?
A lot of Americans it would seem
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Tea. Basic statistics will say how many millions of cups of tea we drink per year, then divide it by the population, giving an average per person per day. Bad research. I never drink tea. I drink coffee. A maximum of two hits per day, the big difference between tea drinkers and coffee drinkers is the tea fiends will drink tea ALL DAY. Wake up, tea. Breakfast, mid morning and so on until dinner and one before breakfast. Few people drink coffee like that. So the TOTAL cups of tea per year, or the AVERAGE based on assuming we ALL drink tea will misrepresent reality on the ground. Like the video says, 50%+ of us Brits don’t drink ANY tea AT ALL. Whereas the tea drinkers pour rhe damn stuff down their gobs every five minutes. Social reality is complicated y’all.
I'm english and I can't stand the royal family
Not all Brits like football.
search for american teeth as well.
Danial Radcliffe just like to virtue signal.
22% of British people at some point int heir lives will have a cavity where as 92% of American's will at some point - Tea is more of a at home thing where as coffee is usually something you do when out at a cafe or when you are shopping etc. obviously there is some overlap there.
Those stats are probably true for obesity as well. But that's just a guess, made with my eyes.
Sorry, I need to make some tea. Sorry. What lovely teeth you've got! Sorry.
Stereotype we all love the monarchy. Very few do. Most think it's ridiculous.
I wouldn't say "most".
While I know stats aren't perfect, they don't support your claim. Being anti-monarchy myself, I wish you were right and maybe we could finally be rid of it, but the facts are that most Brits are either in favour of the monarchy or just don't care either way. It's only in certain groups (e.g. under 25s) where the majority seem to be genuinely anti-monarchy. While it's certainly becoming more common to be either apathetic towards the monarchy or actively want it abolished, most over 25s do not want to see the monarchy abolished, according to multiple sources
Watch Mojo is a pretty awful source of info.
