I'm American this video made me sigh... they describe Wal-Mart shoppers not Americans.
I've seen a video today, where a dude at a american school asked teenagers what first comes to their mind if they think of Germany and most of them just said "Hitler". I think we all could educate ourselves more about other cultures
haha this was great!
+Comaptive 64 Asian Americans are less obese
machinist1337 Nice gsxr
thanks.
The biggest difference between America and Germany is that you can make these interviews in Berlin in English and you would never find enough people in New York who would be able to make an interview in German.
+Ulrich Lehnhardt Is it different in Spain or Italy ? Do they speak fluent German ?
Sama Sebe
what do you want to express by this? I do not like people asking questions instead of expressing an opinion.
+Ulrich Lehnhardt Considering there is no German speaking culture a stone's throw away from the U.S., it makes sense that they don;t speak German. They do speak Spanish pretty well in the south though, I think it's required in their schools down there.
CORRECTS YOU
why do Americans take everything as critizism? I was just describing a difference and I was not judging or asking for explanations. If you would like to know why this difference exist, you would have to dig deeper into history. It is not a question of a culture which is a stone throw away.
Ulrich Lehnhardt You also didn't ask people not to explain. I was just stating a fact in a neutral tone, you're the one who read it as defensive. I'm Irish by the way.
Also, EVERYTHING has a deeper explanation, it's just simpler and more to the point to state the main reason. Canadians learn french because they have a large population of french speakers nearby, Southerners learn Spanish for the same reason, as with Europeans, who are a quilt of tightly packed various cultures within walking distance of one another. You don't need to lay out a textbook to explain it.
"They all have a weapon under their pillow" LOL

Stevens Garage who doesn’t though
Statistically even more than one.
Only Germans could think "friendly" and "cheerful" are criticisms.
No, the brits said that too, lol
there is a difference between fake/pretend to be friendly and actully being friendly
@@Dreaded-Flower brits are maybe the rudest people iv'e ever been around. When we Americans bump into you we say excuse me, because we were in the wrong. When brits bump into people they say thank you as if the other person let them past. When we say have a nice day we really want you to have a nice day. Americans (especially here in the south) are very friendly people that dont mind have casual conversations with complete strangers and are very open to other cultures, despite what the media may show you.

I'd say American stereotypes of Germans are mostly all positive. We don't think they are all Nazis. More like Americans think all Germans are engineers for Mercedes.
To all Americans here: The people in the video are asked about Stereotypes! Stereotypes! And because Germans are very honest, they are talking about all stereotypes they have ever heard of. They don't really think that Americans are like that. :D
being dum vs. being a fascist? there is a difference you know
Eine Person I Hope not
This entire video puts the lie to your statement. If they are honest, yet talking about stereotypes they've never heard of, would that mean they're lying?
U.S. citizens are no different than anyone else. We love our consistency (that we culturally understand) that allows us to function with a small amount of productive stability. Not an ideal, but certainly beneficial for our native born citizens. Maybe that's why a lot of other immigrants want to come here. It's certainly not Utopia, but there is still promise if our citizenry pulls together for a common purpose, excepting war support by outlaws that support both sides and always claim victory.
Eine Person they seem " honest " because the direct translation is brutally honest
When Europeans say Americans don’t travel enough me going north of my state is the equivalent of them going to Belgium
Thats true ...the US is really big compared to those countries.... we travel state to state and its equivalent to euros traveling from country to country.
well, it's not really equivalent. Distance-wise yes, but you don't get a new language and new culture in the other state, which is their point.
@@Desimere Actually you’re wrong, different states have entirely different cultures, and states like Louisiana French is a very common language, but in southern Texas Spanish can be more common than English, in certain cities in California and Texas they speak a lot of Dutch and German
Whilst this is true. Its also true that you barely see any Americans in other continents compared to Europeans. I guess Americans just lack that culture of exploring the world and taking interest in how others live
@@mitzy123 but 14.6 million Americans visit foreign countries every year, and 19 million are made by French people, but the US is extremely isolated from any Worthwild country’s other than Canada which still most Americans are far out of driving range so they don’t go there. French people can drive to Belgium in one day, it will take me several weeks to drive to Texas from here and I live on the West Coast. Plus each state has its own culture and each region of the US has its own culture. But seriously from Paris to Brussels it’s a little over three hours, for me to go see my family in California it takes me nearly 5 hours to get there, and I live in Las Vegas.
I dont know why americans are so angry on the comments, he asked for stereotypes, Im sure if it was asked for americans to give stereotypes about europeans it would be: french - dont take shower, rude, smokers / british - bad teeth / dutch - stoners / germans - dont know how to have fun
So true. I find most humans will stereotype another culture.
I mean not really, if anything that’s an older person thing but all of the people I associate with See Europeans as slightly different Americans that speak a different language
"We all know where America is so why don't Americans know where every other country in the world is?!" is one of the more annoying stereotypes because they don't see it that way. Also, the US is a very diverse country compared to Germany. Germany has a very high percentage white population so their IQ's/education/intelligence would be higher on average but matching the white populations together the US and Germany are very similar in those regards. Different regions have drastically different people where Germany is very uniform in comparison.
You nailed it.
This show is self explanatory. An American goes around the world to ask people what they think about the people in his country. Self stereotypical, who really gives a sh,,,t.
The thing to remember... is that america is a VERY big place with VERY widely differentiated cultures and personalities.. you cant say AMERICANS are this or that without sounding completely ignorant... because everyone in this country is so..different.. many of those stereotypes are true... but they can go for people all around the world in every country not just america..
+django chubbinz Same goes for Germany. You just can`t compare a Saxon to a Bavarian. I personally bever would wear a fucking Lederhose.
Bavaria is actually kind of a country on its own here. Therefore, it`s also pretty wrong to assume that approximately every German acts like a Bavarian.
+Daryl Dixon
But still there are similarities.
A Saxon and a Bavarian have the same German attitude e.g. about being very accurate, or the "staring" (it is mentioned by many Americans about us, that we Germans "stare" a lot while it is completely normal in Germany to look in someones eyes and even is considered as polite).
I live in an area with a lot of US-Americans as there is an air-base nearby, and I can totally spot an American on first sight without even starting a conversation ;)
Ecstasia1
Ikr! Some people here even consider it as rude when you don`t "stare" someone in the eyes during a conversation. :D
+django chubbinz So much this. The USA has large population and territory and very mixed background of people, it is literally a melting pot o̶f̶ ̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶s̶h̶i̶p̶. So there's quite a lot of diversities in attitude and manners among them.
They just asked for stereotypes! When someone hears I'm from Germany ( I live in the uk since 2010) they pretty much always ask "so u like beer right?" Btw I hate beer! Stereotypes are just what they are and nobody really believes them
"Americans are hard to get close to."
3 minutes later...
"Americans are too open."
They're ignorant
I am German and maybe I can explain it. In the first Moment Americans are very friendly and easy to get to know them. But it’s very difficult to get close with them and become real friends( friends who can talk about anything). Germans are very harsh in the first moment but if you get to know them you get a friend for a lifetime.
I live in the US since 5 years and I wish Germans could be open like Americans in the first moment. And Americans to be a little bit more like Germans.
we do are on thang
"In the first Moment Americans are very friendly and easy to get to know them. But it’s very difficult to get close with them and become real friends( friends who can talk about anything)."
I mean, it's a little hard to get close to a tourist, or get close to someone when you're a tourist, don't you think?
wow
A true friend, is an honest friend, an allie that tells truth, is a good allie
I'm American and I don't think Americans in the comments agree there all super angry lol
@Steve 14 : Many Americans are so angry on comments because everything these Germans said are completely true! Germanic honesty and directness seem to be hard for American cultures! Americans are always oversensitive! They don't know this is the typical way of Germans and Dutch are like to communicate and interact!
Americans have to understand that Germans and Dutch are always direct, honest, and straight to the point...
@@andreasindrasanjaya3480 We understand. It's fine to logically lay out what the common stereotypes are, but many of these Germans seemed visceral in their reaction, as if they were amused and looking down on Americans when they listed them off. That's just the vibe I got though.
@ William Henning : Don't be negative thinking.. Just take it easy man.. 😄😄
I personally believe these Germans don't mean to offend even insult Americans particularly.. If they do, then what for?? 😄😄
Don't you think?? 😊😊
@@andreasindrasanjaya3480 Yes! Its called being a Douche! We understand it perfectly!
As a naturalized American, I agree with the first stereotype about my country that the Germans interviewed here all similarly gave as their answer. Something about moving here to the US makes you sometimes forget the geography of other countries.
Cause the US is so damn big.
In Europe everything is interconnected as well. The Ukraine war is a good example, you can see its effects all over Europe. For us, nothing has changed. We don't care about the rest of the world because it rarely affects our day-to-day life.
I noticed that the older people that were around when the Berlin Wall fell said that Americans were polite
That’s actually a great observation. That spaced my mind.
But the ones who wer around in the post war time hate you.
@@Marco-bf4uu why would they? I know they did but why?.
@@ordinary1069 Occupation for 50 years and provoking another war against Russia.
TugIronChief Shut the fuck up dude. The Soviets did far more to liberate Germany than we did.
Notice also that the Germans can actually speak a foreign language fluently. They're not being asked these questions in German. Many Americans can barely speak English properly.
Bob Jones I'm American and I can speak Italian and German fluently and I'm only 13........
Bob Jones, you have to consider that this survey was made is Berlin, a very multicultural city. Large parts of the German people aren't that openminded...
Nicolas Rasmussen I live in a very small village but almost everyone of the younger generation is able to speak at least english
Most Europeans these days grew up learning English either through school, television or the internet, simply out of necessity. Americans generally can get through life only knowing English.
Nicolas Rasmussen: Try to make a similar survey in German, for example in New York. What would be the result?
I think it's kinda cool to hear opinions, about Americans, from others across the world.
Also, as an American, I feel that I'm in no way obliged to make the rest of that world happy about who I am.
That's how you know I'm genuine. 🇺🇸
@Alex Winterborn It's definitely not. You shouldn't feel obliged to make the rest of the world like you at all. what bothers SOME, is how you are, in most Europeans' eyes overly patriotic. Being proud of your nation is great. But there's a point where it becomes too much. It's really just a cultural thing
I'm definitely proud of my country - as are the majority of the people I know here in the US. While I'll never put down other countries, I believe healthy competition is good for humanity.

@Scopo Steve and they couldn’t take the loss so they shot Abe during a ride through Dallas. They had some guy named Mark David Chapman do it.
@@mattkess3156 @scopo Steve you guys are funny.
Yeah, we are kinda dumb.
America is near impossible to stereotype, way too big, way too diverse, even travel just 60 miles and it's a different world.
Yeah, it's like saying "what are some stereotypes you have on Europeans?"
This is very true
Vin Barone America has those stereotypes because we’re one of the countries that eats the most fast food. I’m pretty sure that Texas has one of the most obese people. For the dumb one, well my school is full of dumbasses, and I definitely agree that the school system needs to change.
Very true
FakeAssChienne poor Texas, it should just be Mexico
Warning: If you're American and feel offended by this video please notice that it's about stereotypes.
If you took this into account and still feel offended it is because you maybe fit into those stereotypes.
+Nairam10 Stereotypes can be offensive and even dangerous.
Looking for an example close to Germany, stereotypes of Jews propaganded by Nazi government played not the last role in the events that followed. The position you advocating (Those are just stereotypes and we shouldn’t pay them attention) probably made so many of them stay and don’t flee Germany.
+Sama Sebe It's more simple than you actual think.
Our brain uses stereotypes to categorize people, based on own experiences and things we got told.
Basically this is a good thing, because it makes things easier for you. There is only a problem if you can't make a difference between those predjudices and the reality anymore. You can't compare it to the third Reich. I am pretty sure most of us would have been Nazis at that time and under those circumstances. If you are brainwashed you don't know you are, right?!
Furthermore most of the people didn't know about the jews getting killed.
My grandfather was member of the SS and didn't know because only very high ranked members knew about it...

Your not wrong
Exactly. That's what's frustrating about the video for me, because I don't know if they believe the stereotypes they're listing.
I'm American and I take absolutely NO offense to this. For starters, this is about stereotypes, so that means the people being interviewed don't think every American is like this. Secondly, for a lot of Americans these are completely true. lol
Michi Sharpe
Thank you! You get the Award for Competence. Oh,and a Cookie.
Michi Sharpe Are americans shallow? Like would it be hard to make friends as a foreigner?
Auraruth8 I wouldn't say so. As an American I love making friends, especially from around the world. I have friends from Russia, The Philippines, South Korea, The UK, etc. I may be biased because I'm extremely interested in other cultures and histories of the world, but I feel most people I know wouldn't take issue with making friends with a foreigner.
So they arent shallow as ive heard some say, like they are nice and all but really they might dispise you and just hide it, or like, they would never invite you to their home? I guess they dont do that in most countries anyway
Auraruth8 we love people and friends, but the reason we seem fake is mostly because we're always into a work mode and just shrug it off which reveals on our personality
I'm absolutely amazed by how well they speak english. They're also very straight forward, no bs. I like that. Maybe I'll visit Germany some day!
@ Zero2Seven : Thank you for this comment! Your comment is one of the wisest comment among others that I've seen..
I can agree with you that everything these Germans said are absolutely true!
I just wonder, why so difficult for Americans to accept the truth? Don't they realize that everything these Germans said are actually true?
If they do, what makes many Americans are so angry on these comments??
Youre welcome here :) you can talk to anyone in English and theyll understand you and will help you. Its cool, that youre not offended by our honesty, like most people haha. People are actually really friendly here, were happy if our American friends visit us after Corona :)
@ CZcams cat : I know many Americans are nice people.. I would love to visit the US one day..
I don't think these Germans particularly want to offend Americans.. They respect Americans by showing their honesty.. Anyway, Germans also Dutch are really direct people..
They don't mean to be rude, evil, or anything.. Germans and Dutch are always straight to the point and "don't beat around the bush".. Haha.. 😀😀
@ Trade Bum Simmons : To know about American people doesn't mean you must travel & stay in the US..
I have some American friends here & I know American cultures from their personalities, habits, also from movies & TV series..
Americans are not direct as Dutch & Germans.. I found in many cases, Americans always love to debate & beat around the bush bit too much.. This is at least from my experiences..
After all, I still love American people.. I love their openness & hospitalities.. Americans are very warm & always welcoming especially to strangers..
I wish all the best for the US & his people.. Nice to know you anyway.. 😊😊😊
@ Trade Bum Simmons : What's your point?
The rule is simple : If you think these stereotypes are wrong, it's up to you.. Everyone can feel free to share their opinions including me, don't they?
You can't expect everyone must agree with you & we also don't force you to agree with us.. 😊😊😊
Learned German for 6 years. Have plenty of friends in Germany. When they came they fell in love with the US. They try to visit as often as possible. I’d love to visit Germany and see them if I ever found the time. Germans are pretty fun people. They’re also brutally honest. Absolutely brutally honest. We all love our own countries and think our own countries are the best.

I'm from France and one wouldn't imagine McDonald's to be popular in the land of gastronomy but it's actually the company's largest international market. The guy who brought McDonald's to France in the 70s was laughed at but it became an overnight success.
Logan Cabanas actually my grandmother is and lives in Germany and they don't go to the supermarket to buy a week's worth of food like here in America. Most people have small refrigerator's in their house and simply buy what they need from a market daily so they don't actually over eat like we do in America. If this was the other way around I wonder how many people you would of seen walking around in the background or talking with a soda or Starbucks coffee in their hand. Major cities seems everyone is drinking a soda or coffee or something.
"They don't move around a lot." Sorry that there are only 2 countries that boarder us and that most of us don't have the money to leave the Western Hemisphere
Yes, moving from LA to NY is like moving from Madrid to Moscow. People in Europe are used to countries the size of our counties.
Francisco when they said "don't move around a lot", they were speaking of a sedentary lifestyle. It was with their comments about how Americans are fat and eat a lot of junk food. They meant we don't exercise much either.
Gina Hall yea about that. Here in the US, if you don't have a car you can go anywhere. It too far to walk anywhere and people live too far away from each other in suburbs to have public transportation or the cities are so small ( in population density) that there are only business buildings and entertainment in cities. I live outside of Orlando and this is the case here and in most parts of the US. Don't get me stated on our diet. If you want I'll explain that as well.

+TheYafaShow Well, actually it was pretty accurate ;)
Dude, I hate to burst your bubble, but I think these Germans don't consider these views as stereotypes, but actual facts about Americans. Noticed you weren't laughing and joking with the people you were interviewing like you do on your other videos, so I think deep down, you knew this to be true also.
+ashome13 I think youre part right. So e of them seemed like they were just stating stereotypes, while others gave off the overwhelming feeling tht they really do believe most if not all of it. Americans are guilty of this too, though.
Some of these did make me feel a little sad. Well the part where Americans are nice on the outside but horrible deep down. Like it will make me think that no one will want to be friends with me just because they feel I could never be a friend back because I am American. I think I am nice and genuine when I meet people, kinda sad to really think about.
+Shawnie Ellis They dont seem to understand our country is massive. Filled to the brim with smart, dumb, and everywhere inbetween. But they can go ahead thinking we are all fat and stupid. It obviously makes them feel more secure.
I would like to see Americans in the US being asked questions by a German interviewer in German.
There is no reason for americans to learn german.
Skull Games That's the problem. I've seen Americans (and British) in Europe go up to French or Germans or Italians and just talk English. The least you can do is to ask if they can speak English, or even try to say depending on the country "Sprechen Sie Englisch?" or "Parlez vous anglais?" oder "Parla inglese?" It's a matter of respect. That's what I've learned, whether in Japan, Vietnam or Russia or even in Holland where 99% speak English
Mike Rourke Ah ok.

I totally get the point with constantly acting happy and smiling and such seeming artificial but on the other hand, i think it has a positive impact on everyones mood when people you see everyday, like grocery store clerks and such, just smile politely or when you chat with a stranger on a bus about something you see. The ultra reserved nature of germans where you won't even make eye contact or acknowledge someone setting a foot away from you really struck me as something that has a very negative impact on my mood.

Eliza Guggenheimer 1. the USA was for a long time the country with the most overweight persons in the world. Its not anymore ("only" on third place) but the picture of a overweight fast Food (invented in USA) eating guy is still in the head of the people. 2. Nobody said that it's bad that you are often positive and happy. But i was in US a couple times also for a longer time and i also noticed that the positiv behavior seems fake. Like you want to show outward that everything is alright although its not. I dont know if you ever were outside of US but many people also in other countrys think the same.

Hell yea we are proud and patriotic! We love our weapons too! And we are nice people 😊
My view on Germany: country came a long way, they should be proud also.
they did come a long way
@Only a German Guy "we're"....is it impossible to have both?? 🤷♂️
@Only a German Guy 🤣😉 I wish to go one day
You know, the mere fact that we are obligated to learn english in school, but most americans can't speak german or any other additional language says it all, really.
@@realdomdom most Americans?? In case u havent done ANY historic digging on the US we are a mixture of many ethnic backgrounds, many of us speak two languages as is. America is a world power, and English is a top 3 language spoken on the planet..can we say the same about Germany??
A good person has to be a honest one. Just being good friends that doesn't mean they have to speak only "superior" things but in reality, they aren't at all. Our best friends are those who dare to show our faults, give good advices on it, and take us back to the right paths.
The truth can be "hurtful" sometimes but it still way far better than being "nice" under the pretense and fakeness.
Through our faults and weakness, we may get a lot of lessons of life that can make us better and better from day to day.
I personally give my best respect and salute for all of these Germans in this video. All of you are just awesome and insightful! 👍👍👍
As an American I can say with complete confidence that I would eat a burger every day if I could
😂
Hell yeah!!
*calling your doctor*
The Pagemaster As a german I can confirm I would too. 🤤
The Pagemaster: As an American, I strongly dislike burgers and soda. 😂
honestly, I'm a bit surprised they think we're friendly and cheerful lmao
me too lol
correct
What I think is unfair is most of those germans meet americans that are most likely on the world trip adventure of their lifetimes. Of course they are going to be overly excited and friendly.
I think that Americans don't see it because they're used to that level of cheerfulness. Smiling all the time because it's expected and because not doing so is almost rude. For someone who grew up somewhere else it feels very strange and you do need sometime to adjust.
the first time I was in the US I found really creepy because it feels very insincere (which it mostly is) but as the woman says, that's their way to do it and maybe it's a good thing. who knows..
just wait until they fly to America and go to a ally in the night..... we never saw them again
I gotta agree with most of these "stereotypes" that Germans have about us; they're very spot on with their observations.
German guy: All they (Americans) care about is their country
Same German guy: they want to be involved in conflicts around the world and help and be world police
I thought the same exact s***.
Well, they want to be the world police and be involved in conflicts cause of personal interests. I highly doubt America would get involved in any conflicts to 'help' anyone else if there was no personal gain for America, and they are not helping anyone with their part in any conflicts anyway
@Traveon Thomas STUDENT That is the case for most countries indeed, but most countries are not trying to play the world police. I don't know what the fuck we (the West) are doing in the Middle East. Only stealing oil. It's so beyond me why young men wanna risk their lives in the name of 'patriotism' when we're literally just there for material goods. It's so rediculous to me.
@@bjen3273 dude learn some history before making such a dumb statement. I won't deny the U.S. wants to be the world police but to say they won't help anyone else out is because they won't get something out of it is not true.
@@LVNVSmash A bit offensive right off the bat huh? I'm not talking about the past. I'm talking about the present. I'm sure America has engaged in international business in the past, just to help, but if we have to bring up history (I don't know why we do) America is also the only nation to ever actually use atomic bombs in a conflict. Not really something to be proud of.
I'm not just trying to give America shit. Europe follow them to the Middle East like sheep. I'm just saying we have nothing to do there.
We are stereotyped as polite?
Wow
I'm shocked
I thought we were a bunch of assholes
The gun loving is very expected
your actually are
.. I mean.. American... who thinks Americans are polite? omg
The point we are polite to ones face and not truly friendly is dead on! The problem was the point on Donald Trump is that we have a crazy man and a criminal running for president. Did not realize there was such a bug attacking problem in Germany until I saw this video. Interesting views though. Some spot on. There is one defense for Americans not knowing Europe: it is expensive for us to travel there and Europe countries are about the size of our larger states. I also agree that we are arrogant.
@john victor Oetomo well...i understand your point but where have u been in germany? in my hometown its completely different and i would say its not bad to not have such things as china town because that just makes people outsiders. Where i live people dont care where you are from but still you just meet people really when you are partying and doing stuff like that as small talk on the street just isnt a thing in germany. i just hope you understood what i wanted to say, because i think your picture of germnay is really bad.
The_other_guy Forever we are assholes. we just pretend we're not.
I'm American and I do think many of these stereotypes are are accurate however I feel the idea that we don't travel is a little misguided as we are a huge country geographically and are bordered by two massive oceans. Our only neighboring countries are Canada and Mexico and depending what state you live in can be a very long trip. European countries for example are much smaller and clustered together. Traveling between them is like Americans traveling between states, so for us to travel to foreign countries can be very costly and time consuming
Agreed. I've looked into plan tickets to go to Europe. Fare would be at least $1000.
+E_DUB Yeah I agree. The travel part was the only one that mildly bugged me too. Not only what you've already stated, but there are significant differences between the states as well as regions (NE, SE, W, NW, etc) of our nation too, so we're exposed to more cultures than you'd think. I know in PA, once I start hitting south of Virginia and west of Indiana there are a lot of differences between how the people talk, behave, eat, etc. Even the Western part of my state is almost alien in some ways to me. In fact I think Pittsburgh is where they start saying pop instead of soda.
Besides the fact of economics most people in the United States couldn't really afford such a long distance trip/trans continental travel
yeah I agree but... germans do travel to america so it's possible

Nobel Prizes by Country 2023
First issued in 1901, the Nobel Prize is one of the highest honors a person can receive in their lifetime. The Nobel Prize was founded by Swedish engineer, inventor, and chemist Alfred Nobel, whose will established the Nobel Foundation and directed that the prizes be awarded annually "to those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind." Nobel further instructed that "no consideration be given to nationality, but that the prize be awarded to the worthiest person, whether or not they are Scandinavian."
Nobel Prizes are awarded in five areas: peace, literature, physics, chemistry, and physiology or medicine. In 1969, an additional prize, titled the "Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel" (SRPESMAN), was established by Sweden's central bank and has been incorporated into the Nobels as well.
Here are the 10 countries with the most Nobel Prize winners:
1. United States - 400
2. United Kingdom - 137
3. Germany - 111
4. France - 71

We built America from the ground up and accomplished all of this in only 244 years.
We took the world out of the dark ages and we are literally the reason humanity is so modern. Every other country in the world hasn’t accomplished shit there’s no comparison when it comes to America and the world knows that, that’s why they wish they could live with us.
I don’t know why European people feel the need to impress us Americans or try and prove themselves to us or try so hard to make themselves noticed by us Americans or try to make themselves feel better by trying to downplay humanities greatest nation… Americans are obviously elite in everything that we do. You guys don’t realize how embarrassing you are to Americans. Americans laugh when little European people try and call americans stupid knowing americans literally are the reason why the world has advanced. Now imagine life before America existed?
You’re welcome.
Americans carry humanity so how you gonna hate from outside of the club? YOU CANT EVEN GET IN 😂 🇺🇸
I’m just glad my ancestors moved to “the new world” and I’m not still stuck in Europe because I can’t blame you guys. I’d be mad and probably hate on Americans too knowing I got left behind and could’ve been born in America instead. 😭😂
I know you hate to hear it but we all know Europe youth secretly wishes they lived in America so they could go to Travis Scott shows and experience “the American dream…” like the rest of the world does.
So yeah Europeans, you definitely do copy us lol.
like the rest of the world does, it’s funny you all “hate” Americans until you meet one then you’re all asking us all about America and what it’s like to live here complimenting us non stop lol.
(by the way that was so wild that some of you say Americans copy the Europe? copy WHAT exactly? Gross haha gross haha never! 🤮 You guys are like a lame weird boring wannabe version of us. Americans been trendsetters but you already knew that lol.
We also think of those corny ass wannabe gangsters you guys have in the Europe who TRY to copy American rap and throw up American gang signs. 😂

Even your lame ass rappers and wannabe gangsters straight up copy us too.
Corny asses I wish you could see yourselves through our eyes. 😭🤣 You probably live in the EU with crooked teeth in your moms basement, cope harder, the U.S. is one of the most technologically innovative countries, if not the most, the EU have been irrelevant for over a century. Good for you, you all are irrelevant with crooked teeth, I promise you we don’t like you guys either, as well as many other parts of the world, very snobby arrogant people with a superiority complex even though you haven’t been irrelevant since ww2, when one of EU’s countries kinda killed 6 million jews, which the U.S. HELPED LIBERATE!!

@Spank MaMonkey shut up you bitch
We are so cheerful that's a good thing
I think an issue, among several, facing Americans is that we don't emphasize speaking foreign language nearly as much as other nations. I always felt it was wise, polite, and efficient to speak the language of not just our neighbors, (Spanish, Portuguese and French) but also the language of our economic partners. Asking everyone else to adapt to us, only limits us. A great example is Germany. They all seem to speak English very well, and I'm sure they all speak some basic French, Dutch and other regional languages as well. I wish we would, and I'm strongly pushing my children to speak more than one language as an emphasis in their education.

Lol thats almost every country.
We have friend who sleeps with a gun under his pillow...

under your pillow seems like a possible hazard lol. under your bed is understandable when you live somewhere unsafe
I mean it’s not really a stereotype about us not caring about the rest of the world, but it’s not so much that we don’t care it’s more that you see more of the rest of the world than we do. Europe is surrounded by different countries. The closest countries we have to us is Canada and Mexico. I’ve scarcely even been outside of Massachusetts. So yes I guess we are a little naive but like you can’t really blame us we’re taught one thing and we don’t see any other countries like you guys do. Sorry if that didn’t make sense😭

Being a German myself, you can only blame our teachers. Mine were the ones that told me about American stereotypes.
ShciiOsaurus OwO Just the kind of thing American teachers would do...real intelligent bunch
That's interesting. I have found the U.S. public educational system to be very objective and does very little to support stereotypes, I suppose there were instances of bias influence, or covert stereotyping, but as a whole, very little... but, again, my micro experience might have been the exception to the rule.
Frankly, I found the whole drug education thing to be a complete failure though. Not sure how it is around the country or in other coutries, but in my state, there is a 2 or 3 week drug education "thing" that they did when I was in 8th grade and then they did it when my oldest son was in 8th grade. Several of my friends found it inspiring and wanted to go out and try all the drugs they taught us about. I remember thinking back then, what a joke it was... this was around 1984, I believe. I really did not feel more compelled to do drugs myself, but I was a nerd and wanted to be liked, so I dabbled in drugs with the one's who seemed so inspired to do drugs, thanks to our educational system and pretended like I thought it was cool too.... so fast forward to around 2006 and my 8th grader comes home and announces to me that "they make it sound like drugs are fun". It just makes me wonder how many children in my state have felt this way over the decades of this "educational" effort.
Frankly, I think there is more of a conspiracy to encourage drug use through suggestion. And the use of suggestion has been used for evil since time immemorial, it is not some new thing that people don't know about. It's something I've always wanted to do something about, but never have, beyond sharing my experience. After having learned more about the human psyche... AND the complete failure of everything they've tried to do regarding drug use, I am convinced that this drug education practice has got to end.
ShciiOsaurus OwO I get what you mean properganda before I left high school got taught American history and slavery. I find it old should talk about own history not someone else history. I didn't learnt much in high school people in class messing about. Only I learnt is how to make friends in school
Haha! Well thank you for your honesty Shcii! My first thought of this whole thing was.. "Americans?" Why.. there's north, central, and south "America". I know they're generalizing it to the U.S.A. which I'm from.. but then the first stereotype was that we don't think of anything outside our own country, just right after I was wondering which part of "America" they would speak about! My word! If you come to the U.S. there are different cultures everywhere and at least I'm fully aware different Americas. There's 3 German restaurants in my town, countless different Asian type restaurants, and even an Ethiopian one an hour away! Then to stereotype U.S. is nearly impossible as well. I'm "Native American" as they call it.. of the eastern Cherokee band mixed with a little Scottish. Then you have all these other cultural mixes. I eat one small meal a day, a home cooked if I can afford it. And as far as Germany is concerned the only stereotype I've heard is they have stricter laws and are generally more blunt than the U.S. general population. But then, many years ago when I went to high school I had a German exchange student friend who was very kind and open! She loved to laugh! So I hold no true bias. We're all different! I mean, I don't even fall into the category of "only friendly on the outside". When someone asks me how I'm doing, I tell the truth. And I only invite people over if I intend to let them in my home! Coming from the southeast also changes things, as we tend to be more genuine. None of that fake stuff! I hate fake kindness myself!!
I'm actually quite fond of the germans, they're very nice and smart people in my perspective, nice older german grandmother comes into my store all the time nice lady beautiful language rich history

@@daijirokatoh3769 I expected more from a person with Japanese Heritage. Honda is not European but Daigiro isn't either. (Sarcasm with a winking eye)
to all the americans out here in the comments, what stereotypes about germany do you have?
ps: it’s a video that is supposed to offend you because they are asked to do so. I mean we (germans) will also be very offended by most of your stereotypes. so please, for gods sake, stop roasting those people
As mentioned already, these guys were asked about the stereotypes. Working for a large company, all American colleagues and friends I know are neither racist, unhealthy, prudish, superficial, uneducated, nor egocentric. But then again, being asked about the stereotypes I probably would have responded pretty much the same as the guys in this video. Because that's the way how Americans are portrayed in the media and/or represented by their officials. Especially during the Trump era ... Sad.
My father, a navigator in a B-24 Liberator, had no problems finding Germany.
Bob Flendorg xD
German's should be ashamed but lets honor your father for killing more civilians than actual targets XD good ole logic
Bob Flendorg are you sure? I beard switzerland got bombed quite a lot, and it wasn't the brits...
Bob Flendorg Americans 😂
Russia won the war and you're the reason people in this video says that haha
Americans make friends very easily but they forget you just as soon
Baloney.
I’m American and this is very true
@BEYOND REVIVAL No, it s all bunch a bull shit smiles and friendly chat. Especially in LA AND MOST OF California. Self centered zombified priks . 27 years in US still waiting to see people with substance and elevated thinking. All this is on TVs
@@PetreAkaliyski-the-IM-stuggler well maybe stop acting like an American hating prick and people will start to like you
@BEYOND REVIVAL true
why do americans take such statements so seriously it doesn't matter, life goes on and we're still here in the survey about steriotypes
It’s just most of them are saying stereotypes about one group of people even tho America is the most culturally diverse country and they said “racism” seems kinda hypocritical when u think back to Germany in the 40’s
@@johnholder3273 Yeah Germany were pretty racist back then but you do realize we re talking about whats now and not what happened in the past.
@@momo1442 aaaand that was in the past too. What’s your point
Am looking forward for the man of my dream, who is loving, caring and focus.
Im American and I agreed with them when they said something about when you meet someone for the first time and they are friendly then they are mean, or not what you thought..
20% of americans are from gernan descent
Yessss this is so true!
Zoodz Mf lmao are you trying to deflect that fact back at the germans? Are you offended?
@@kasperknutsen8283 most are probably before ww1 and 2 when america was discovered or the jewish germans trying to get away from nazi germany
I am suspicious of strangers.
Crazy how it's *all* negative. Even when talking about Americans' openness, it's only under the pretense of it being superficial or fake.
That's what it seems like. Because our culture is very different. When all people are behaving cheerful and friendly it's suspicious when you're not used to it.
Guess the cold german stereotype is a live and well
@ok 01 I have no doubt that germans can be nice people. Just that this video had some cold dudes.
Think about it
I think all stereotypes of countries, not just america, are a bit negative and not always true. Personally, I’ve never met an american person, so I can‘t tell what is right or wrong of it.
Is it really true that americans are so friendly, polite and easy to approach? I've never been to the US, but heard that a lot, but the americans I've met were not always like that. They were more or less withdrawn and didn't really like to get in contact, some of them were also kind of aggressive. But I've only met a few americans who traveled through different countries, so I'd like to know if that stereotype is really true...? :)
That old guy I believe had the most accurate opinion
