@@thBrilliantFool Tammy used to do a lot of content about American culture, and had travelled to the US a couple times. Also, she had collaborated with Dianne in the past. That's why I thought of her. Let me ask you a question... what exactly is up your ass?
Fun fact: my American family has a three volume set of genealogy books about them going back to the 1750s, just lists of people and stories, short biographies, etc. Like, giant hardcovers, the size of Encyclopedias. Kind of neat.
The answer to why Americans are so interested in genealogy should be obvious. A vast majority of us know for sure that our ancestors didn’t come from here, so we want to know where. As an 80% genetically verified Scots/Irish American, that only applied to my Dad’s side. My Mom’s parents were both born in Ireland! Anyway, we are an immigrant nation, and a lot of us have no idea where our ancestors come from.
My dad was born and raised in Argentina to an unwed Chilean woman working in Buenos Aires. She married a German merchant marine sailor and they all immigrated to Brooklyn New York. My mom was born in America to Irish immigrants. so I am mixed. that Is why I only identify as an american.
Diane is correct. The Saint Patrick's day parade in Dublin is a parade with 90% American high school and college bands. My High school band played and marched in the St. Patrick's day parade in 1975. We spent a week in Ireland. As a 16 yr old, it was amazing. One of the best memories of my life. My Irish mom was so proud.
Father always told us that the Irish invented the bagpipes and gave it to the Scottish as a joke,lol. The joke was on the Irish because they learned to play the dang thing 🙄 😂😂😂❤ We're Scottish/Irish 😂❤
Yes, but so is the New Year's Day parade in London. American high school marching bands and cheer squads with a smattering of amateur-looking floats from the locals.
@@pattiellis1613 Fun fact: Scots and Irish are almost genetically identical. Way back in history the Scots settled Ireland, which is why they all speak Gaelic.
While the cubicle gaps might encourage the naughty people outside of the cubicle, they are there because of the naughty things people get up to INSIDE the cubicle
They just like to pinch people 😂. Diane gets us Americans. My grandparents all came from Ireland about 100 years ago. I hoped this vid would happen.🇺🇸💚🇮🇪☘️
Oooooh Laurence, you met another TH-cam sensation It’s Diane Jennings in Chicago, on a work vacation She said she’s not a leprechaun, but there was hesitation I await the full video with great anticipation
LIved in Philadelphia for a while and saw their St. Patrick's Day parade a couple of times. Amazing. Blacks, Whites, Asians, Hispanics all marching with big smiles on their faces. Everyone's Irish for a day!
Because we see a lot of our immigrant struggles through the Irish concept of coming here through strife, being hated, working through it and being a citizen and still remembering where our family came from.
Lawrence, you're the only TH-cam sensation I can stand telling your audience to subscribe--because it's so funny how you do it. I love those "bossy" commands, and the "Do that now!" snarl always makes me laugh. 😆
Yup… the Irish accent is awesome. ❤ For the record, most of us just check for feet at the loo, as opposed to peeking in a gap. That’s intrusive and creepy here too!
In the states sometimes the gap is so wide you accidentally meet each others eye as you walk by and it’s super awkward for everyone. If you wind up meeting at the sink you just pretend it never happened and go on your day 😹
the gap their talking about is the one on the bottom. all stalls have a small gap where the door meets the frame and their all different. yes, sometimes that space is too much but you find that on both types of stalls from my experience.
Such fun! Our ancestry is important to us Americans because to paraphrase what Bill Murray in Stripes said, "We were kicked out of some of the best countries in the world!" 😆
Americans love to tell other people to "go back where you came from" but are so proud of their ancestry they don't do it themselves... Like all colonizers, Americans like to be hypocrates.
My brother did the deep dive ancestry thing on our family. Most of it only went back a few generations, but then I guess it hit a vein and it goes back to people like William the Conqueror and Catherine the Great. Makes me think maybe most of Europe is in some way descended from these two people. They probably had lots of children. No, there's nobody coming to my door holding a crown and asking me to get coronated. I'm sure there are over 10 million people ahead of me for line of succession.
I look to see if they're on the cell phone hogging up the toilet when I need to go. You can check emails literally anywhere. Get out of the stall. If it was up to me I would build Faraday cages around bathrooms so cellphones wouldn't work.
Stalls aren't always occupied when the doors are closed. Some doors just close on their own, and kids often lock the doors closed and crawl out under the door. That's why we check for feet. We don't peer in through the gaps on the sides of the doors (unless we're spying on friends or something to joke with them, but only if we know the person). The gaps under the doors are bigger for safety issues. If someone has a heart attack, stroke, passes out, or something, the EMTs need to be able to get to them and can kinda crawl under to unlock the door to help the person in distress.
A very Irish looking woman I worked with in new York had two stories I liked. People would complain she didn't wear green on st. Patrick's day. "You need to wear green. I have this face" When she was young people would say "you have the map of Ireland on your face". She thought it meant that if you connected her freckles you would get the map of Ireland.
There are 31 million Irish Americans out there. Six times larger than the entire population of Ireland. My theory is that during the potato famine, all of the extroverts left for the United States leaving only the shy ones back home. It's already been 150 years and poor Ireland's population still hasn't reached pre-famine levels.
It’s because outward migration continued for more than a century afterwards. Since 1700 about 10 million Irish born people emigrated. Even today almost 1.5 million Irish people live outside of Ireland.
I’ve never thought anything about the gaps. I’ve never encountered anyone putting their face up to the gap to peek in. It’s just kind of one of those accepted things where people give each other space and don’t peek!
I'm from England and when I went to university in Canada I was horrified by the gaps between to toilet doors. One time a child came and looked through at me, it gave me bad anxiety to use public toilets. I can't do no privacy.
Wow! Two of my favorite people online together! So cooool! And just so y'all don't worry, my family on all levels goes back to the American colonial era. So I'm a real bag of mixed nuts.
For the record, we don't like the toilet cubicle-gap, either. Those are due to cheap construction. The door should swing open if not latched, so no need to check; if door is closed, it's occupied.
The Irish immigrants in Boston particularly stuck to their own. Half of my grandmother's grandparent's were recent immigrants from Ireland and the other half had been in North America for a couple of generations. We had her DNA tested and she was 97% Irish, and 3% Scottish. Before the updates it had said she was 100% Irish. Conan O'Brien had talked about his results being 100% Irish and had a very funny discussion about what his Doctor said about that.
My maternal grandmother’s family was from Belfast, I always considered myself 1/4 Irish, did my DNA and found out I’m 86% English and Scottish with a little bit of Irish, Welsh and Swedish…
She could be 100% Irish and she still wouldn't be Irish. Also, there's no such as thing as someone being 100% of a single nation, that's genetically impossible (because you know, migration), so that's automatically false. Unless those people want to go on some r*cist and purist nonsense

The big gap in toilet stalls was an anti-labor surveillance measure from taken by early American factories/workplaces. They didn't want to encourage workers to be comfortable staying in bathrooms any longer than it had to take, and more importantly they could tell if you were still in there and what youre doing.

@@SupremeGreatGrandmaster not sure what you mean. The gaps are around the doors to the stalls, top and bottom and sides. Such gaps are not typical in Europe, there is perhaps a 6" gap at the bottom of the door and maybe the top, for airflow maybe, but generally it would not be possible to easily see inside the stall.
6:46 the marching band with the Middletown NJ banner is the high school my 2 kids went to. So my children's school is now a featured youtube sensation in an Irish youtube sensations video included in the one and only Lawrence Brown the premiere youtube sensation. I couldn't be more proud.
One of her videos that cracked me up was Diane losing her mind in a Walmart. So many foreigners can't seem to handle choice...Walmart, Target, even regular grocery stores. I've actually seen them complain about there being "too many choices."
Per Americans wearing green on St. Patricks day, yrs ago a friend of mine who has 100% Anglo Saxon ancestry, decided to tease his co-worker who was Irish. When St. Patricks day rolled around he gleefully came into work that day wearing orange LOL. I'm talking orange pants, shirt and socks. His Irish co-worker glared at him and said "you lousy Prod" LOL (i.e. Protestant)
My father’s family are northern Irish’s Protestants with some English and Scottish thrown in. Any way he would tell me about his relatives were “Orangemen” and would march in the yearly parade which went through a catholic section and would get rocks thrown at them by the Catholics.
"Americans have more guns and more people, but we are the Fighting Irish..." Umm. I thought the Fighting Irish were from northern Indiana. That is what I have always been told.
@@xheralt Well, they've had it since before naming consultants were a thing, so I'm guessing somebody in the school's early history just made it up. That's how it normally works.
I have subscribed to Diane's channel as ordered. Will watch her content as I consume Texas BBQ for I live here in the Lone Star state and do so very much adore tasty burned meat 🤠🔥🐮🐷🦃
I used to watch Diane all the time, but like a lot of TH-cam content creators from overseas she started just making fun of Americans (Like those Two Brits Joel and Lia, RIP)and relaying on old stereotypes. Then she got into reaction videos of stuff she was watching, and I was out.
I also unsubbed from her basically the same reason. I also noticed she would use her channel to grandstand her political opinions and criticize the US Constitution and so forth. Hopefully she's changed since then but I honestly don't even really care so much to find out. She seemed more polite and well behaved in this video at least. I like this channel much better and Laurence clearly has the good sense to keep his political opinions private while still saying what he likes and dislikes about America in a much more tasteful manner.
I’m American and one time I was in a bar bathroom and for some reason, the gap in the door was GIANT. Like, you could fully see the person inside. 😂 The bathroom was packed too but every girl was drunk inside the bathroom and didn’t care or they just pretended like they didn’t notice. But for me, it was a nightmare. 😂
There’s a wild story on Reddit where a young Irish guy studying in the United States was invited by a fellow student to have dinner with her family. The girl had said that her family was Irish etc. upon arriving at the home the young guy saw a giant Irish flag in the front yard along with various leprechaun statues. The girl’s father began asking where the young man’s “kin hailed from” in Ireland, and then the father proceeded to mispronounce Irish place names and also corrected the young man when he attempted to correctly pronounce the name/word. The father then proceeded to ask why the young man was speaking “that way” and to “stop being offensive” and making fun of “His (the father’s) culture”. The young man tried to explain that this WAS the way that he spoke normally and he wasn’t putting on any accent. The father continued to complain and things became tense. In the end, to keep the peace and because he was hungry and really wanted a nice home cooked meal, the young man decided to spend the entire evening putting on a pretend American accent. 😳 This seemed to settle the father down 🤣 Oh and I forgot to mention - None of these people had Ever been to Ireland 😳not once... ever. But apparently the father was Irish and he was also an expert - after all, he had a flag and leprechauns ... oh, and he knew where his “kin hailed from”🤣🤣 I mean, obviously 🤣 For reference, I think the story is in the “entitled people” subreddit - if your interested. It’s quite a hoot.
A couple years ago, I looked through Diane's archive and discovered that she hadn't done a single reaction to anything about Chicago. I requested that she react to Chicago's St. Patrick's Day parade and turning the river green. She rudely snapped at me saying she didn't believe it was interesting enough. Yeah, nice lady. 👎
I have just discovered your channel and i must say that I’m loving the content - your deadpan delivery just kills me! Jolly good show mate { you’re influencing me already…}.
I haven't seen Diane in quite awhile - what a pleasant surprise! I absolutely love her accent. The change in skin tone was striking, though. I don't think I've heard about the pinching thing
Hi Laurence, will be moving to California from the North of England in a few weeks time, so have you thought of a video on what to expect? How to rent a house (with no US credit history), buy a car, get hold of a US driving licence, do US States have MOT tests? What's needed to get a SSN? - have an work visa at the moment, and Green Card is next. How you navigated through all this and any tips about the order of doing this. i.e. need a residential address for a SSN etc. so whats different between the US and UK in terms of the house moving process - could also cover US to UK moves and what to expect, and review the differences?

Americans are much more extroverted than Europeans in general
Don't forget the many immigrants that came from Ulster... Many, many years before the famine...

Such gaps are not typical in Europe, there is perhaps a 6" gap at the bottom of the door and maybe the top, for airflow maybe, but generally it would not be possible to easily see inside the stall.
I'm so glad that Editor Diane came along.
Omg so excited! I love her channel too
6:46 the marching band with the Middletown NJ banner is the high school my 2 kids went to. So my children's school is now a featured youtube sensation in an Irish youtube sensations video included in the one and only Lawrence Brown the premiere youtube sensation.
I couldn't be more proud.
One of her videos that cracked me up was Diane losing her mind in a Walmart. So many foreigners can't seem to handle choice...Walmart, Target, even regular grocery stores. I've actually seen them complain about there being "too many choices."
But there ARE too many choices - & I grew up here!!!!
Awesome video! Looking forward to going to Ireland this year!!
If the real TH-cam sensations Arthur and Chewie meet, this could be one of the all time great You Tube videos.
Oh my, the thought...!😅
YES! 😊
Yes please!
Ma’am what is that stunning blusher/highlighter combo? Stunning!😊
"I'm not a leprechaun."
That's what a leprechaun would say! Grab her, quick!
Diane should visit the best town - my hometown of Jacksonville Florida! Warm, sunny, and bright 90% of the days - even in February!
Come on to Titusville while you're at it. Watch the rockets launch from the Cape!
Per Americans wearing green on St. Patricks day, yrs ago a friend of mine who has 100% Anglo Saxon ancestry, decided to tease his co-worker who was Irish. When St. Patricks day rolled around he gleefully came into work that day wearing orange LOL. I'm talking orange pants, shirt and socks. His Irish co-worker glared at him and said "you lousy Prod" LOL
(i.e. Protestant)
My father’s family are northern Irish’s Protestants with some English and Scottish thrown in. Any way he would tell me about his relatives were “Orangemen” and would march in the yearly parade which went through a catholic section and would get rocks thrown at them by the Catholics.
Britbox is one of my favorite channels. I love mysteries and ‘cop’ shows. Death in Paradise is one of my favorites.
Newfoundland Canadians have an accent that sounds very very close to an Irish accent to American ears. 😁
Lots of Irish there. I know a Newfie with an Irish accent.
In Chicago the pubs are called saloons. That's a pub with a full restaurant menu. Great food!
I love Diane Jennings!!!
Love the bonus guest. Thanks Editor Diane!
"Americans have more guns and more people, but we are the Fighting Irish..."
Umm. I thought the Fighting Irish were from northern Indiana. That is what I have always been told.
Where do you think Notre Dame got the phrase from in the first place?
@@xheralt Well, they've had it since before naming consultants were a thing, so I'm guessing somebody in the school's early history just made it up. That's how it normally works.
Great video! I'm glad Diane brought Editor Diane with her.
I marched in New York's St. Patrick Days back when Rudy Giuliani was Mayor.
I have subscribed to Diane's channel as ordered. Will watch her content as I consume Texas BBQ for I live here in the Lone Star state and do so very much adore tasty burned meat 🤠🔥🐮🐷🦃
I find it charming when Europeans refer to our defense perimeters and flight distances as "personal space"😉
So true. And this is why a woman holding the door a bar, for the men, is not sexist. The guys go first to check for active or potential fights.
Yes!! Two of my all time faves! Looking forward to this!
I used to watch Diane all the time, but like a lot of TH-cam content creators from overseas she started just making fun of Americans (Like those Two Brits Joel and Lia, RIP)and relaying on old stereotypes. Then she got into reaction videos of stuff she was watching, and I was out.
I also unsubbed from her basically the same reason. I also noticed she would use her channel to grandstand her political opinions and criticize the US Constitution and so forth. Hopefully she's changed since then but I honestly don't even really care so much to find out. She seemed more polite and well behaved in this video at least. I like this channel much better and Laurence clearly has the good sense to keep his political opinions private while still saying what he likes and dislikes about America in a much more tasteful manner.
@@thBrilliantFool She still hates Irish-Americans.
I love the collaboration. You guys should attend the St. Patrick's celebration in Savannah.
Why would Irish Americans and Actual Irish fight each other when England is right there? Both groups historically love fighting the British.
Texan here! Glad you loved our bbq Diane! Lawrence, you gotta visit Texas!
I’m American and one time I was in a bar bathroom and for some reason, the gap in the door was GIANT. Like, you could fully see the person inside. 😂 The bathroom was packed too but every girl was drunk inside the bathroom and didn’t care or they just pretended like they didn’t notice. But for me, it was a nightmare. 😂
Sounds like a bad dream! 🤣
@@GrlRock Yessss 😂 It felt like it!
🤣@@park.jasmin333
Hi Diane! Funny seeing you here.
"The gap" - at least they don't have to rattle the door to see if it's free. That seems more invasive to me.
I don't care if they rattle the door as long as the lock holds. As an American, I want the gap outlawed!
Wow I love both your channels. Cool to see you both together.
There’s a wild story on Reddit where a young Irish guy studying in the United States was invited by a fellow student to have dinner with her family.
The girl had said that her family was Irish etc.
upon arriving at the home the young guy saw a giant Irish flag in the front yard along with various leprechaun statues.
The girl’s father began asking where the young man’s “kin hailed from” in Ireland, and then the father proceeded to mispronounce Irish place names and also corrected the young man when he attempted to correctly pronounce the name/word.
The father then proceeded to ask why the young man was speaking “that way” and to “stop being offensive” and making fun of “His (the father’s) culture”.
The young man tried to explain that this WAS the way that he spoke normally and he wasn’t putting on any accent.
The father continued to complain and things became tense.
In the end, to keep the peace and because he was hungry and really wanted a nice home cooked meal, the young man decided to spend the entire evening putting on a pretend American accent. 😳
This seemed to settle the father down 🤣
Oh and I forgot to mention - None of these people had Ever been to Ireland 😳not once... ever.
But apparently the father was Irish and he was also an expert - after all, he had a flag and leprechauns ... oh, and he knew where his “kin hailed from”🤣🤣
I mean, obviously 🤣
For reference, I think the story is in the “entitled people” subreddit - if your interested. It’s quite a hoot.
Thank you having Diane Jjennings on your channel.
A couple years ago, I looked through Diane's archive and discovered that she hadn't done a single reaction to anything about Chicago. I requested that she react to Chicago's St. Patrick's Day parade and turning the river green. She rudely snapped at me saying she didn't believe it was interesting enough. Yeah, nice lady. 👎
Maybe "Editor Diane" had responded! 🤣🤣She has been polite to me before!
This is a mind blowing colab! It makes so much sense now, but I hadn't ever dreamed of it before!
It's nice to see you both together!
Love your channels. As others have said I’m about 80% English/Irish/Scottish, so I’m constantly fighting myself.
Big fan of both channels. It was fun seeing you two together.
Talk about culture shock, when my parents moved from Chicago to East Tennessee in the late 1950’s they saw a billboard advertising Kosher Ham.
Two of my favorites 👍👍
I have just discovered your channel and i must say that I’m loving the content - your deadpan delivery just kills me! Jolly good show mate { you’re influencing me already…}.
I haven't seen Diane in quite awhile - what a pleasant surprise! I absolutely love her accent. The change in skin tone was striking, though. I don't think I've heard about the pinching thing
That was awesome!!! Loved it!
Terrific episode!
I'm an Irish American from the New York area & I've never heard of the pinching thing!
She's so funny sweet.. glad she could make it over
Good to see you on this channel, cousin.
Lovely collaboration
Hi Laurence, will be moving to California from the North of England in a few weeks time, so have you thought of a video on what to expect? How to rent a house (with no US credit history), buy a car, get hold of a US driving licence, do US States have MOT tests? What's needed to get a SSN? - have an work visa at the moment, and Green Card is next. How you navigated through all this and any tips about the order of doing this. i.e. need a residential address for a SSN etc. so whats different between the US and UK in terms of the house moving process - could also cover US to UK moves and what to expect, and review the differences? Cheers, Ian
I enjoyed the collaboration between you two.
Glad you two connected. 🙂
I enjoy Diane's channel too. Happy to see her visiting another channel I enjoy.
Both of you! Together! Love it!
