Today we have collected some of the Internet's favourite British stereotypes.
Oh, great...
I feel like there's a lot of stereotypes.
Most about our accent.
And our teeth.
Do you guys wanna read these out?
British people be like, " 'arry pah uh".
'arry pah uh.
Is that how you say it?
No.
Harry Potter.
British people be like,
Kan... Wa...
Ah... Kan... Wang... Fu...
This virus, T, B, ah-wah-vah.
What?
"Kan wai fu this virus..."
"tew b..."
What is this?
Oh! I know what it means.
It's saying, "Can't wait for this virus to be over."
Oh! Can't wait for this virus to be over.
We do not sound like that.
They're taking the mick out of us.
"Bottle of water."
Which is obviously the normal way of saying it.
And then, "Bo'ohw'o'wo'er"
It's a "bo'ohw'o'wo'er," you know?
"Bo'ohw'o'wo'er"
Boh-woh-woh-wer.
British people be like,
"a, b, c, d, e, f, g, aitch."
Yeah that's true.
- It's “haitch”. - I'd say “aitch”.
Are you on a wind up or something?
Like when I spell my name,
S, “aitch”, E, A.
- That's how I say it. - It's “haitch”.
Nah, mate.
Aitch.
Aitch, haitch.
What's the difference?
No, H is like with a,
Yeah, I know.
With a “haitch” at the beginning of the 'H'.
Yeah, but 'F' doesn't begin with...
It's not "feff".
That begins with 'E' to be fair, 'e, f, f'.
And 'L'?
- A, B, C, D, E, F... G. - E, L, L.
What about ‘W’?
Doesn’t begin with “wouble-u”. Does it?
We don’t talk about ‘W’. Not that.
British people be like, ‘Yoove gOHt to…’
‘Yoove gOHt to be joe king’.
They’re just so terrible.
‘Yoove gOHt to be joe king’.
- Is that it? - Yeah.
It is true.
Yeah, I’ll accept that.
Tick it off.
British people be like, “You must fink I’m schewpid, innit?”
“Stupid, innit?”
What a beautiful phrase.
“Schewpid”, I think that’s a way better way of spelling 'stupid'.
- Do you reckon? - 100%.
You should spell it like that?
Spell it like that. 100%.
Scr… Ah…
‘Scroof’, innit?
I don’t know!
“Schew-pid innit.”
Is it ‘stupid’? Ohh!
How do Americans pronounce it?
“Stoo-pid.”
Do you guys use “innit”?
Yeah.
It’s just natural.
But not like, “Uh, in-it!”
Not like that.
He uses it a lot. He uses it a lot.
It’s not good. It’s not good.
For anyone who’s watching that doesn’t know what “innit” is.
It’s like proving your point.
So you’ll be like,
Chelsea’s the best team in the world, innit?
- I knew he was gonna say that. - It’s proving your point.
I think of it as giving your sentence a pat on the back at the end.
Yeah. I like that, you know?
It could be at the start as well.
Could be at the start? As well?
- Yeah. - No, it couldn’t.
British people be like, “It’s Chewsday, innit?”
- Yeah. That’s quite accurate. - That’s good.
“Chewsday,” see.
“Chewsday.”
“It’s Chewsday, innit?”
Well, Americans go “Toos-day”.
“Toos-day,” who says that?
Nobody after one ray of sunshine…
British people:
Yeah. Yeah.
- I’m not having it. I’m not having that. - That’s completely true.
I’ve never seen you tanned in a day of your life.
Listen, Summer, I was pretty tan, I can’t lie.
No, listen. If you compare me from here,
Down there. It was much different.
Yeah, it was red and white.
You’re a Polish flag in the summer, mate.
“Polish flag!”
British people be like,
This website uses biscuits to improve user experience.”
We’ve got biscuits here, But their biscuits are different to us.
It’s so annoying.
Would you have a biscuit with gravy?
Wait, what?
Ever have gravy with your biscuits?
Never.
I don’t have gravy, full stop.
Would you put biscuits with gravy?
Don’t say that. Please, don’t say that.
That’s the American thing they got.
Do they actually?
You know a scone, like a scone.
Yeah, you pour gravy on the scone.
And that’s a biscuit.
And they call Digestives, cookies.
Which is weird.
They call Diges…
I’m not American.
Henry’s mind-blown.
“British people be like… D’you know what I mean?”
“Jeanette Amin.”
“And I’m like,
Yeah. Ana Jermaine.”
I feel like that’s accurate.
Props to that guy, man.
Jarmean? Jarmean?
How Americans sleep: Zzz.
How British people sleep:
- Zed, zed, zed. - Zed, zed, zed, zed.
That’s terrible.
It’s "zed".
You’re saying it wrong, Americans are saying it wrong.
Completely wrong.
Funny how the British people conquered so much land looking for spices,
But then refused to use them.
That’s fair play.
This one I fully agree.
Nah, I disagree. Beans, fish fingers and chips. That’s a meal.
- That’s an elite combo. - That’s a meal.
And you guys stand by fish and chips?
- 100%. - 100%.
With beans?
Beans go with anything in Britain.
- So you’d have beans for breakfast? - Yeah.
- Beans for lunch? - Yeah.
- Beans for dinner? - If it’s on toast.
- Snack? - Yeah.
Beans are so good.
Beans on toast is, honestly, one of the best meals.
What is that?
“Toast…” What?
I’ve never seen this in the UK.
“A toast sandwich is a sandwich in which the filling between two slices of bread
is itself, a thin slice of toasted bread, which may be buttered.”
That’s not real, though. There’s no chance that’s real.
- It’s on the Internet. - Yeah, but like..
Do people actually…
Everything on the Internet is true.
Don’t, don’t take anything with a pinch of salt.
Take everything as it comes to you.
“Hey, guys. So I got a lot of questions after my last video
and everyone wanted to see me make hot tea, or British tea.
So today we are gonna make tea.
So, fill our mug with water. Put it in the microwave.”
- Wrong already. - “Set it for a minute.
Pour the milk in.
Drop your teabag in.”
I’m never going to that person’s house.
I’m sure you’re dying inside.
“Give it a little stir.
And that’s how you make hot tea.”
Oh, my gosh.
Why’s she smiling like she did it correctly?
You did it wrong!
“English people when Americans use miles per hour
instead of teabags per rain cloud.”
That’s, that’s just…
Dumb!
“Which of these things Americans don’t have
freaks you out the most?”
Is this real?
They don’t have electric kettles in America.
They don’t have electric kettles?
They don’t have electric…
Is there a reason why they don’t have… They don’t have…
Because they don’t drink as much tea, I think.
That is quite weird.
He’s gobsmacked.
British people be like, “Mafffmatics is hard, innit!?”
- Accurate? - Yeah.
Yeah, we say that.
Not many people know how to say ‘th’ in England.
But in America, they say “Math”.
They say “Math” without an ‘S’.
Yeah, it’s Maths.
Maybe they just learn one.
They just learn one of them.
“British accent. Can you do it?”
“Ish. Ish."
“What I end up doing is, I just ended up doing soundbites
from Love Island.”
“Alright, love, like. He just, like, mugged me off and like,”
That’s Essex. That’s not even properly. British.
"So annoying."
“And like, so rude.”
That’s perfect.
It’s good. That is good.
Do you remember Love Island, yeah?
Some of the people on that show are so stupid.
“Schewpid.”
We’ve not had enough posh, though.
No, that’s true.
I’d have liked to see more posh trolling, posh accents.
“Looking forward to Summer?”
“I live in England!”
To be fair, though, we have got a few hot days in the Summer.
It’s not only…
“A few hot days!” Makes it sound like you can count them on one hand.
You know what? Yesterday was so nice.
It was like,
16 degrees.
I was hot in class. I just needed to get outside.
I love it. In the UK, 16 degrees C and we’re like,
“Oh, it’s lush out here.”
To be honest, you already see people in shorts and flip flops.
Flip flops?
Going to Tesco’s.
It must have been someone who says “innit”.
So, I feel like we’ve been rinsing Americans doing British impressions quite hard.
So it's only fair if we end the video by getting you guys’ best American impressions, as well.
Right.
Do you wanna read this sentence in your best American accent?
Hey, Paul!
Can you get the yogurt and tomato water?
To-may-to! Bro, come on.
To-may-to water from the herb garden.
Ask Tom for the route
But avoid the zee-bras in the garage.
Not bad, you know what? Not bad.
Oh, brilliant, guys. Thanks very much.
Have you got a message for Americans watching this?
Football. Not soccer.
Football. That’s the one thing.
Stop mocking our culture. Stop it!
We’re not just fish and chips and tea. We’re not just that.
We’re not just "Bo'ohw'o'wo'er". I swear, we’re not.
But we are that a little bit.
Moral of the story, Pronounce your ‘T’s.
Alright, well, see you JOLLY soon.
See you later.
Thanks very much, guys. Epic.
