hi we're jonathan yeah and this video is things that us brits find weird in america
and we've been to america a fair few times guys as you well know
so funny that you do it like like a service without that
so we're going to tell you the weird things we've noticed some very weird things about america
yeah and we're going to go into detail let us begin yeah let's let rick if can i just say
if you're not already subscribed do it the birds are actually saying subscribe you can't probably
can't hear it like tweeting mostly they're telling you they're urging you to subscribe
it's free just click subscribe we know that the majority of you watching over 50 percent of you
are not subscribed you're ghost viewers just click subscribe yeah they're so easy
right moving on right so the first thing that's super weird about america is that your bread is so
sweet like everything's brielle yeah everything's a brioche everything's got added sugar it's so
sweet like in a way sometimes it's like yeah i'm just gonna dip my sweet bread roll into
my soup but then at other times you just like what if i wanted bread without sugar yeah why
why if i want salty bread yeah what but not sweet and salt just so salt don't exist it doesn't exist
americans just love sugar and it's not your fault guys it's not your fault it's the food companies
that have pumped your food full of sugar and they've gotten you used to higher sugar levels
exactly netflix are going to drop that documentary on sugar pumping in food i mean they maybe really
have yeah and we're just going to be sitting there going told you we told you do you want
some british bread we can send you british bread i i think it's sad that americans will never try
my auntie amy's bread but she does sourdough brown and white sourdough every week from her kitchen
beautiful sourdough starch she's just incredible does she have a pet sourdough starter yeah she
always breeds from breeds the salad and she has them in the jars and they sit on and they get warm
amazing it's just utterly amazing i've not had bread like that in america no i've not walked past
the bakery and thought wow the bread i'm sure they have it and i'm sure some of our legends
make their own prayers they must but it's just in general we're talking about generic stereotypes
here yeah that is that's what we found the next thing is that scones or scones however you want
to say it there's no correct way are triangular here apparently they're literally this shape in
america in the uk they're just round i don't think i've ever tried a triangular one i have no memory
of that well the thing is because they disguise them they don't actually look like this picture
that we've shown you yeah they actually are covered in sugar crystals or icing cinnamon rice
yeah because they're just covered in more sugar and they do taste i think slightly different
maybe to our scones yeah they're a bit more dense not in a negative way but they're like
they're our scones are like your biscuits they're a bit lighter and fluffier but essentially they're
the closest thing yeah and what's interesting is that the biscuits that they have over there
you guys they're a bit salty and nice yeah they're lovely because they're full of salt
the saltiness of your savory biscuits that to also go with sweet things yeah and the jam when
you bite into it you get the salty taste of the dough and then the sweetness of the jam no that's
something that they do do so well yeah okay moving on right the next thing these two things combined
yeah bit confused i don't really feel i've had experienced this but maybe you have is the
pharmaceutical adverts are really weird and they said also there are so many adverts for weight
loss on tv really so yeah basically they advertise lots of medicine on tv and in the uk you're not
allowed to advertise medication on tv oh yeah so it's a bit odd yeah don't they say things like
you might die anyway so maybe i'll buy our product to prevent it happening yeah and they have so
many like clarifications so it'll be like they'll have a really quick voiceover i can't do anything
medication could cause severe side effects such as nausea amnesia all these things like a
million times faster than that yeah like they're people that do those voiceovers insane talent
i've had auditions for those but like where my agent will say please only like submit yourself
if you can do like if you can speak at this many words per second and i'm like my tongue's too big
she sells seashells on the seashore still some social security but these are probably concerned
because you think that they've just sped it up but they're people that actually specialize in
doing them really fast talking that's insane that people actually don't get sped up for it what's
the sentence i could just try and say really quickly can i just try and say that just say
that that's because because it's suddenly because they're straight up just like well you might die
by our product anyway no i can't do it right yeah no one understood it was the first time for
everything isn't that yeah where's the skill that you can work on i suppose jeez but to be honest i
don't want to be that person no but it's good to have isn't it we want to be good at things anyway
oh gosh i don't like this one at all the word lube is used too freely it's true jiffy lube i've heard
of jiffy i don't know what it is but based on this picture i'm guessing it's a mechanic like
jiffy lube yeah they lubricate the car in some way but yeah liberally in the uk you would only
refer to lube in a sexual manner yeah that's why i was so so weirded out when um i had to go and
get my lady parts looked at and they they had to put something up there to like open the space
and she was like oh it's time we'll just get some lube and she kept saying lube the nurse
kept saying the word loop and i i was losing it like i couldn't hold it together oh my god
um and she was like um this lube might be a bit cold and i was just really she kept saying lube
it was like she was trying to find many ways so one of her colleagues had dared her to just
keep saying lube in the room and she did it is it jarring because the only person you'd expect
to hear the word lube from is your partner not from like a anyone else even a nurse you'd be
like and certainly not on a street sign in an american english garden or a business calling
themselves wow you'd never be taken seriously never lubing around with joel and leah yeah
imagine that in your business moving around those two losers joel and leah lube what if someone was
like oh i love john leah because they just lubed me up for the weekend meaning like they just make
me feel relaxed and i watch them and they get me relaxed and ready do you think americans use it
like that thanks for meeting up with me carl you've really lubed me up joel and luke joel
this is awful yeah yeah that is so jarring to us
i don't know how this is a job but being the meet and greet person at the front of the store
and your job i don't know if you rotate and you sometimes do this do that do that but the job of
the meet-and-greet front of the store sometimes they hold a basket and they offer you a basket
yeah at least that's something you're paid for just to say hi easiest job ever i mean
i mean i'm sure it's draining we've done similar jobs when we've been in front of house and it is
exhausting it's easy physically in some ways apart from standing on your feet all day but it's very
draining so you've got to smile the whole time you have to be present yeah you can't just i
think i'd rather be at a till i would because then your manager comes up to you know they're
like you're the first impression anyone gets from this store so you have and it's like no can
you just put me in a role where i can like just slouch a little bit yeah i'm sorry but i don't
want to be the first person everyone sees i don't want the decision that they make about this store
should be based on my face because we've always chosen an easy life we'd get our agency who got
us work when we used to work in front of house jobs being like would you like to be the manager
of the event because you get paid like double what a normal person would get paid and we're
like no thanks and they're like you get paid double when like yeah i'd rather get paid less
and have an easy job yeah we have done that and i just don't wouldn't want the responsibility
i might just stick me somewhere in a quiet corner not many responsibilities and pay me minimum wage
but yeah i know what you mean remember that time i don't know if you were on it we had to go and fill
up gift bags there was a million things on the table we just had to assemble the gift bag one of
them one of them when they're in a room four hours got all of them done no smiling no that was lovely
like it was something amazing about it and also i find those kind of menial tasks really thoroughly
therapeutic i did the ones for graduation in the office the week before just putting labels
on envelopes shoving allocating tickets and putting them in the envelope and it was just
yeah mind numbing but in the best way your mind could just wander no smiling no small talk
you're just stuffing envelopes what it is it's customer facing public service jobs that are hard
that is hard so actually take it back the shop greeters have a very tough job particularly when
brits come in and we're like please yeah wait say hello that's it but none of this showing me around
the store telling me what's on offer what the sale is can i help you what are you looking for why are
they so helpful because they want to make the sale but i'm like wait like i get a car of a source
i think they will because then you get to the toilet like has anyone helped you today because
i think they want to write down whose name it was sometimes i just say no just to be annoying no no
one helped me you're joking no one helped me in fact there's not much help no one even greeted me
i don't even ask their name but they introduce themselves don't they but
i don't remember anyone's name apart from mine absolutely work together thank you like
my housemate um leah not leo lauren or laura lucy friends my brother's called luke that's
a lot of elves that's too many um enough luck a lot right and the last one yeah i've never
had that but that looks disgusting that's vile no take that away that's absolutely horrendous
the existence of microwavable pizza should be a crime and it should lock mark throw away the key
why just to save ten minutes put it in the oven like a normal person not surrender microwavable in
two minutes it says so you must do it because not everyone's got an oven so i get that like
not everyone has a number no i don't know the new york apartments just have a microwave i think so
that's true so maybe i get that but you know what if you live somewhere like that just go
downstairs and get a slice of new york pizza one dollar for a slice of pizza in new york pizza
joe's pizza or whatever it's called this just made me laugh because this is the snapchat of
the instagram story of the person that she said this will come as a surprise to nobody but the
pizza was not good very mushy two out of ten third worst thing i've eaten this quarantine
oh it just looks horrendous poor sweet girl but she did buy it so it's her own yeah it's
really silly fault really never mind that was that then yeah let us know what you thought
about that do you find them weird or do you think we're weird for thinking it's weird
i don't know about you but i feel like i've been negative for 10 minutes yeah we've actually been
very negative guys and i'm really sorry should we just hug it out i meant with them out with you as
we love you guys it's just those those that's where the inspiration was for the
for the video and yeah that's what's happened yeah and if you want us to do positive video
