it's the same with flags everywhere you won't go far in america without seeing the
stars and stripes whereas in europe flags are usually designated to the top of pole
i actually said if i move to europe i'm gonna slap it right there
being an american flag bing like y'all like when it comes to america and um pride
like the love of america anybody who loves america they'll tell you straight up bro if you love
america you love america for real american muscle american food american everything because like
i get excited when it even though i'm very i actually prefer european cars flat out
i'm a mercedes guy and i'm a lamborghini guy which you know that's italy and that's germany
those are my two favorite vehicles of all time but when i see a mustang or a dodge a challenger
to be specific or a corvette or any american muscle dodge viper i i just get vibed up you know
what's good youtube it is your boy geoboss here and uh i'm back with another reaction
video for foreign reacts and um since uh you know there's a huge comparison between america and
europe i'm actually going to be doing a crazy video today this one is going to be american
things europeans find weird so i don't know what you guys find weird about america obviously
so i'm going to actually try to learn that right now right so if you guys have any suggestions feel
free to leave those in the comment section down below i'd really appreciate a subscription and a
like on this video as that would help the channel to do much better in the future but anyways guys
uh we came for a reaction so we're gonna be checking out american things that europeans
find weird so without further ado guys let's begin if you've ever seen quentin tarantino's
hit movie pulp fiction you'll know it opens with a scene in which samuel jackson shows his surprise
regarding the legality of cannabis smoking in holland and the fact that the french eat
their fries with mayonnaise ah is his reaction to the use of such a condiment well we can tell you
ah works both ways and there are plenty of things americans eat do believe and say that europeans
find plain weird today we'll look at some of those things in this episode of the infographic show
american things europeans find weird don't forget to subscribe and click the bell button so that
you could be part of a notification squad we'll stay with food and restaurants for the time being
as we've discussed in other shows not everyone in the world is so draconian about tipping
in fact in some parts of europe throwing a buck on the counter after receiving a cold
beer would be totally insulting in many european countries chipping in some situations can be seen
as charity when visiting the us many europeans so you were telling me that oh my gosh so if bro
so if i visit europe i'm supposed to not give tips because i would be probably
insulting somebody like i love to give away buddy so i'll be like here's five dollars for something
about two dollars i'm like yeah you can keep the change it's all good like i shouldn't do that
i'm telling you i'm learning a lot each day bro this is crazy fans might find it weird that a
waiter or waitress keeps coming back to your table in the states it may be seen as just good service
but to some europeans it could be construed as someone getting in the way of a good meal that
meal by the way could be about three times larger than many people in europe are used to in general
american food portions look to some europeans like they are supposed to feed two people it may also
seem like an active largest to some europeans when someone keeps refilling their glass of soda or cup
of coffee for no extra cost in terms of the food itself as we noted earlier americans and europeans
have very different ideas about what goes with what pancakes for breakfast with fried chicken
are you kidding me says the traveling european and what about putting honey on bacon for breakfast
the frenchman wanted mustard with his sliced beef and tasted something not like mustard but a
sweeter version with less bite the italian went to chicago and in one restaurant ordered a pizza only
to be served what he thought looked more like a quiche or a cake so what about when europeans head
to the store again the rather affable smile and general friendliness of staff may seem strange to
someone from grumpy england where service with a smile is certainly no guarantee in fact it's been
remarked that american friendliness can result in some europeans thinking something suspicious
is afoot if that european is in the store to buy a pack of cigarettes or a bottle of wine they may
be extremely surprised when they get asked for id as that might not have happened to them for over a
decade or two on top of europe mainly having laxer laws on age restrictions iding people is not such
a big deal as it is in america only in july this year oasis frontman liam gallagher said he was
if you don't straight up look you know young sorry if you don't straight up look
old enough nobody i'm going to ask you for no id but in america obviously but if you look like my
age like i go to buy like some alcohol beverage they might slide me like yo what's up with some id
they might do that like i remember one time i even went to pick up like a package like
um it was i bought a shoe from nike and um it was a nike outlets but it was a special
edition that i bought and they just did not have it at the outlets and they shipped it
right but they didn't ship it to my address they shipped it to a walgreens and i actually had to be
shown identifications to even get that which was very weird i've never done that before but alcohol
beverages for sure if you don't look it you got to show id and remember 21 is where it's at
in the us after trying to buy cigarettes he tweeted i've just been told i can't buy cigs
unless i got id i'm 40 freaking 4 has the world gone mad indeed in his home city of manchester
he'd probably been buying his smokes for 30 years without a problem and then the european looks
inside his or her wallet only to see a bunch of notes that all look the same all the time
wondering how this could possibly make any sense the good thing is in america you can pay with
plastic just about anywhere which is something many europeans are still not used to they may also
be unpleasantly surprised to find out when they do buy something taxes get added on top of the price
they saw so they try and get back to their hotel but have to ask the way they are told to walk six
bucks like that's that's the next thing like so you're telling me like when i go to europe like i
use apple pay i've never swiped a card in my life i've never swiped my own card i've actually used
people's card before but i've never swiped my own card by paying ever right and i really don't like
using cash either right i've always used apple pay apple pay on my watch apple pay on my phone
i've always used apple pay that's just period just how i do it if it's not apple pay i use cash
never swap the card that i own in my entire life that's wild right but i'm gonna have to carry cash
that's a good that would be so different for me in a european setting where i have to carry cash bro
that's that's crazy flex this way and turn left only for some europeans not familiar with the us
giving someone directions using blocks may seem weird parts of europe were not built with city
blocks in mind and just gradually spread in a way that makes it hard to find your way around
when they finally do get back they settle down to watch some tv only for some reason the shows
are interspersed with commercials that seem to be longer than the actual minutes given to the
actual content this drives some europeans crazy at some point they might come across world wrestling
entertainment and be quite confused that how some americans can get so worked up about what to them
looks like an act with an ending already scripted you may have to be an american to enjoy that kind
of drama with yeah because the wwe some of these stuff are actually scripted fake but i'm not gonna
lie to you sometime i'll be i like i'm not a big fan of wrestling but when i see that thing pop
up bro i'm like interested like i'm like look at this like they're it's like knowing it's fake is
one thing like but it's just that you don't care that it's fake you know it's like a movie it's
movies are scripted too but you just get up every day and you're like okay i'm gonna just
watch this movie but you know it's scripted you know spider-man ping ping ping ping ping and do
all of that but you know it's kind of it's kind of cool i guess but it's just a thing like you know
such passion turn over to the news and depending on the channel this may also look something like
a drama or a soap opera to a european they may easily believe they are watching a news
satire one of the great things in america though for some europeans at least is the fact that some
things are open 24 7. can't sleep just go out shopping hours are relatively quite restrictive
in many european nations but in most places in the us or near a big city there is always something to
do or buy in the middle of the night in europe the bbc reported that london england and six
cities in spain were the better 24-hour cities now we'll visit the sensitive issues of religion and
patriotism world atlas puts america at the top of the list as the most christian nation in the world
in the u.s on any given day you might hear the word god or at least see signs pointing to where
you might find him while parts of europe are also predominantly christian the omnipresence of god
in the streets may seem a little overbearing to many of these nations that have forgotten
church duty it's the same with flags everywhere you won't go far in america without seeing the
stars and stripes whereas in europe flags are usually designated to the top of pole
i actually said if i move to europe i'm gonna slap it right there being an american flag bing like
y'all like when it comes to america and um pride like the love of america anybody who loves america
they'll tell you straight up bro if you love america you love america for real american muscle
american food american everything because like i get excited when even though i'm very i actually
prefer european cars flat out i'm a mercedes guy and i'm a lamborghini guy which you know
that's italy and that's germany those are my two favorite vehicles of all time but when i see
a mustang or a dodge a challenger to be specific or a corvette or any american
muscle uh of dodge viper i i just get vibed up you know and it's just a thing in america and
not being around that in america is something that you would miss as a patriotic american you know
person who loves american culture not necessarily um everything but you love the culture because
the culture is definitely different outside of official buildings seeing one planted in a garden
may induce a traveling european to believe that he is at the house of a hardcore nationalist not
just someone who is proud of where he comes from interesting side note a 2014 survey revealed the
most patriotic country in the world was thailand closely followed by the usa while it may not seem
too weird for europeans the fact that some people in the states carry firearms might be scary per
capita more people in the states own guns than any other country while most cops in europe do carry
guns it's unusual to see a cop in england scotland or wales carrying a gun the fact that regular
joes might be carrying a firearm seems fairly weird to many europeans it might not seem so
listen to me you walk in the streets in america like don't act too tough like i i've always done
it and i'm teasing people and i'm like yeah you might get a shotty you might get somebody might
use a shotgun on you you know or something like that but like it's not that everybody carries a
a weapon it's really that if it's accessible to you right you're gonna get it if you
if like a particular european moves and like if i'm in uh a european country that let's say the um
the amount of when you those surveys done the amount of persons with a gun is so little i'm not
gonna necessarily be like oh i need to have a gun for safety but in america you you're gonna think
that way i mean you got 329 million people right in one country especially texas the big bad texas
of america right who is so strong and independent and just wanted to get out of america but you know
they can't do that right that texas i'm not sure but they're likely the state with the most
weapons that are accessible when you uh do like a survey about the citizens right so it is really
wild but i think it's really because it's you know everybody has a weapon so more people start to get
i remember i had one friend she had a shock and she had a piss she had a lot of weapons but it's
not like she had it just to kill or to harm anyone she just had it for fun you know so there's there
are many reasons why the typical american would have a weapon trust me strange the serbians who
also have a high rate of guns owned per person size also matters to europeans when traveling
in the states in america everything just seems bigger and not just the aforementioned dishes the
roads and streets seem larger for the most part and if you don't have a car it can seem hard to
get anywhere i have like let me tell you something i've seen europeans almost got themselves killed
highway 501 i scented they almost got themselves killed i'm like bro you don't do that here they
were trying to jaywalk on highway 501. if you all know anything about highway 501 go look up highway
501 i'm not going to tell you what state matter of fact it was south carolina right and go look it up
they were going across the street and i'm like because they trying to catch a bus and i'm like
they really because they i think they were germans right but they're they're not from
america so they don't know how to do nothing they don't know where to go to catch the bus they don't
know what to do bro and i'm like bro no like it's really scary like for me in terms of traveling i
think it's always important if you're gonna travel travel with somebody that you know meaning that
if you don't have anybody in iceland i don't have anybody in iceland but if i visit iceland one day
i gotta get a tour guide try to learn the place before i go there you know what i mean because
that's really important especially in a place like la the cars themselves seem a lot bigger
large enough to crush mr bean and his mini and the people inside them also seem big on
average if not taller than wider on average the skyscrapers are taller and in general american
houses statistically have a lot more space than the average european house one survey
stated that the danish had the most living space in europe still much less than americans but much
more than the brits that two americans might seem their whole house is smaller than their basement
it may not be that weird but one might ask why everything is so big in the u.s as for appearance
some europeans may find the amount of americans that are continually decked in what looks like
gym wear a bit strange as most are not going to the gym other styles that are mostly an 80s
thing but seem to have stayed around a little are the big hairstyles on some older american women
big lips and big breasts may also be a fashion weird to some europeans while in the usa the
president still seems to sport a fake tan on the positive side americans all seem to have such
perfect white teeth quite different from those brits this was hilariously depicted in an episode
of the simpsons in which the big book of british smiles horrifically demonstrated the apparent lack
of dental hygiene in the country so what do you europeans out there find strange about americans
this was a great video i gotta see one where americans what things americans find weird
about europeans i'm definitely gonna check that one out but this was a very good video i
it was a good video i totally enjoyed it like literally i enjoyed it so much like it was really
funny very very good stuff to know you know but um yeah like i said guys people liking the video
and subscribe i'd really appreciate it and uh tell me anything that y'all find weird about americans
i definitely know there are a lot of things that people find weird about americans but he hit the
head uh the nail the nail on the head or something like that the head of the nail something like that
right so it was a good video i i enjoyed it but either ways guys i'm out of here peace
