- Thank you for watching me, a humble American, watch this funny video of Americans saying dumb things. This was hard to watch, but it's ok maybe I will just move and I won't have to be embarrassed. Thanks for subscribing!

LOOOOOL Prince Charles, Prince of the Whales! I'm getting cartoon visions of Charles riding a whale with a trident like Poseidon. Aquaman 3: The return of Charles.
Lost it!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Me, too and I'm actually from Wales 😂
And now I cannot see Prince Charles without laughing anymore 🤣
Not so wrong actually en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_fish 😂😅
Pre-Covid I was on a bus in Wellington, New Zealand heading for town. As passengers got off they thanked the driver. Two Americans who also happened to be on the bus said quite loudly "What is this? Thank-a-driver day?"
I responded that we're a civilised country and such courtesies cost nothing.
We thank the bus and taxi drivers in the UK too lol.
I bet the americans started clapping once they reached their station
I'm Aussie and thank literally every bus driver I have when travelling.
People do that in the US too, those are just a rude Americans. Could depend on the state their from.
@@YmustTh3w0rldg0r0und2 that's good to know. Thanks!
"I hate this (girl), but I don't know why" is as American as it gets.

To paraphrase Biko, stupidity and/or ignorance is not a uniquely American trait, but they are far better at it than anyone else in the world.
As they always tell us, they are the Greatest at everything.
they're not uniquely stupid, that's really an international problem, but, due to specific education and tv-propaganda probably, they're the most confident, and thus aggressive in their stupidity. Not gonna be an american trend for long tho, my country for example's doing everything to reach that level.
@@Vladimir_Fedorov27 well said Vladimir, peace be with you.
Steve Biko?
@jeannetteviviers9851 No, Biko in the featured TikTok video.
When you said "I don't like this girl" it's because you were triggered by the way she pre-empted her comment- the same way nearly every American is when they hear someone talking down about the USA.- regardless of the content of their comment. Americans have to be the most defensive and oversensitive people on the planet to criticism about the USA- even if accurate and intended as humorous. You can say what you like about my country- Australia, I'll just shrug my shoulders and agree if it's accurate. This is an aspect of US culture most Americans aren't even conscious of. This "MY COUNTRY RIGHT OR WRONG" stuff sticks out like a sore thumb to the rest of the world.
I’m English and agree with you 100% mate.
A lot of everyday Americans are so naive, arrogant or just plain stupid when it particularly comes to geography. They seem very self centred, as they seem to know nothing (or extremely very little) when it comes to to anywhere else except the USA. I don’t know why you seem to hear Americans before you see them, they talk so load!!!! Yes, I have been to America, both the east and west coast and centre. Some places I have been to among your 50 states, include San Fransisco, Las Angeles, Chicago, New York, Florida and also Hawaii.
It’s not surprising that per capita the percentage of people in the USA that own a passport is one of the lowest in the world.
GET OUT AND SEE THE REST OF THE WORLD. YOU MAY EVEN FIND YOU ENJOY IT AND LEARN SOMETHING ON THE WAY!!!! 🧐🧐🧐
I live in America and I have seen a lot of unable to understand nuance stuff. I am glad you said something.
Please remember we USA citizens aren't all the same. Idiots seem to get a lot more air time, and there are A LOT of them.....just not all.
I’m American, and I agree with you completely. At my college in the South, during a conversation at a bar, a friend told me her mother was from Minnesota. Before it registered in my addled brain, I said, “Minnesota…remind me, what state is that in?” I knew better, of course, just a little tipsy I guess.
I was once talking to someone from the USA online, she asked me if I had internet access in Australia. 😲 I couldn't help myself, I replied, "No, I don't think so. What's internet?." 😈 She started explaining it and half way through her quite good and detailed explanation of what the internet is, it finally dawned on her that there's no way I could have been talking to her online without it. She was a good sport, we both laughed.
That’s like your dad texting you to come and help him find his phone
Oh dear. Sigh.

My school (in northern Ireland) did a student exchange with US students in 2002, and my friend went and stayed with an American family for a couple of weeks. On the first night during dinner she excused herself to go to the bathroom, and when she came back to the table, they said to her "that must have been quite a treat huh?". When she asked them what they meant, she found out they thought that no one in northern Ireland had indoor plumbing and that we all used outhouses. She had to explain to them that we had plumbing and electricity, and that actually we didn't live in shacks as a result of the troubles.
Wow....
If ignorance is bliss then most Americans must be in heaven lol
😂🤣😂
A few years ago, myself, my brother and his family were on our way to WALES for a holiday, we live in England, Our heritage is Welsh, Mine 87% Welsh, 9%, Devon, Cornwall, S.Gloucester, 4% Scots. My brother has a small amount % wise, a little more Welsh than I. We couldn't find the isolated cottage that we'd rented. A car drew up, this family got out speaking with American accents, asked if they could help. We told them that we couldn't find the cottage, they kindly (before sat navs). got a map out, found where we wanted to go, we'd passed the lane twice . They had shown us where it was Yanks 1 Brits. 0.🏴👍😂

Working at a convenience store in Spain, an American Karen comes to the register and slams a can of Mexican food against the counter, asking for the manager to put her in contact with the CEO of the franchise, saying she was going to have us all processed for selling openly racist products.
It took five employees and three online dictionaries to make her understand that "Frijoles Negros" just means "Black Beans" in Spanish.
I used used to buy Irish thick pork sausages in the Supermarket. A few years ago they changed the name. Richmond pork sausages. They're still my favourite.

@@franespejo5302 in Greece we say "Άλλαξε ο Μανωλιός και έβαλε τα ρούχα του αλλιώς " (Manolo changed by putting on differently his clothes )...
In an Australia fish and chip shop, with a 2 hour waits for food, Americans pushed in front of the line and demanded that they be served NOW. I had the unfortunate job of serving the counter. But with this extreme entitled attitude plus the pushing and shoving and demands, I simply told them to get out of the shop because they don’t warrant special treatment, “no matter how much they think that they are the greatest country in earth” :)
Delicious
Sheesh - good for you! Entitlement does my head in!
That “demanding behaviour” is only ever going to make Australians not want to help you. If will have the opposite effect here.
Ignorance + Arrogance = Americanness
Well done you didn't put up with that American racist bullshit 👍America's not the best country in the world I've lived there before,it's a horrible,depressing place.
I'm an English immigrant to New Mexico and I moved here to marry a local gal. She was trying to set up service with an American company and when the agent asked for her address and she told them she's in New Mexico she was told the company only serves the USA, not Mexico. She explained she'd said New Mexico, not Mexico itself. To which she was told, quite arrogantly, "I don't care what part of Mexico it is. New Mexico... Old Mexico... We only serve the USA!"
Look, be dumb about other countries. You just didn't learn about them. It's not great, but it is at least a little understandable. Vehemently arguing that a state of the USA isn't in the USA though? IT'S YOUR OWN COUNTRY!
Dumb and the dumbest,Americans take first prize!!!!!
That's really sad, and I've noticed the number plates from there say "New Mexico USA". Why my fellow Americans don't at least know the names of the 50 states is a puzzle to me.
My one quarantine accomplishment was to take an online quiz to finally learn where the 50 states were in the US. In a contest, I could probably wipe the floor with many Americans. Yes, I’m🇨🇦
Well I once met an American girl (she was 25), who seriously asked me what currency they used in Hawaii. She wasn't aware Hawaii was part of USA.
@@MrsSlocombesPuddyCat That's really pathetic,education has never been a priority in the US,when Raegen was in power he cut education spending by 80%.
I went to the USA many years ago and got complimented on my English. I was asked to say something in "Australian".
I strung together half a dozen Australian place names. They were most impressed.

The very rotund Welsh comedian and singer, Harry Secombe was once asked by a reporter if he really came from Wales. "Of course I come from Wales," Secombe replied. "Look at me - I couldn't have come from bloody sardines!"
Here in Australia, at least when I was a kid, in years 5 and 6 (10 to 12 year olds) we had regular ‘geography’ lessons as part of our schooling. By the time I was 11 years old I knew where most countries on most continents were, their capital cities and their approximate populations. It was a normal part of Australian education. ‘History’ lessons in years 7, 8 and 9 (and elective choices after that) were split between ‘Australian History’ and ‘World History’….we learned a bit about ‘us’ and the ‘rest of the world’ so we could know where we fit into the ‘big picture’…. We assumed the rest of the world was learning the same.
Yes, this was pretty much my schooling too
Yep. This was my schooling experience also. For me, history and geography, we called it humanities, was compulsory up til grade 10 and yes we assumed the rest of the world has the same teachings.
@@kellysullivan800 First lesson in life. Never Assume.😊
We also have world news on our regular news shows either radio or TV, that gives us an understanding of what going on in other countries around the world. In the US they only get US news, so unles they search for the information they remain ignorant of what is happen ing in other countries.
@@iriscollins7583 as it makes an "ass" out of "u" and "me"... as taught to me by my father over 50 yrs ago!
Had an American tell me how it took him 3 days to drive around his property....I said to him " yeah I had a car like that once " .
Hahahahaha

Not going to lie, I enjoy watching y'all Americans react to this, haha. Everyone can be stupid, but damn you do it well.
My favourite part is watching Ryan’s facial expressions as his head is about to explode 🤣🤣
Ikr hilarious 😂
I thought that it must have been tough for him to have to watch that video all the way through. (A hard day at the office)
Yeah Ryan stop it dude.
@@alexradojkovic9671 I think so too. It seems a little cruel, tbh. Everyone has had a "blonde" moment, where they weren't fully clued in and are looking for an opener to a convo with someone from elsewhere or a different culture. Foot in mouth disease isn't exclusively an American trait lol.
@@Kayenne54 It may be so, but arrogant ignorance is... Like telling someone their country (Wales) is not a country, or that their country (Egypt, in Part 1 of this trend) doesn't exist, because the US is the only country there is in the world...
An American said to me, “America gave Australia eucalyptus trees” 🤪.
Another asked if we (Australians) speak like this all the time. 🤦♂️
hilarious. you should REALLY blow their mind and tell them Macadamias are actually from Qld, Australia.
When on a bus tour to King's Canyon in central Australia, a Californian was in it. She was commenting on the number of "California gums" there were on the drive. I put her right by telling her that Aussies who went there to their gold rush took the seeds of eucalypts to feel at home. Told her that was why they had such bad forest fires. The trees are full of explosive oil.
Omg, how dumb and ignorant can you get.
"not in China because they banned that"
me sitting in Beijing, China watching CZcams 👀
Canadian here. I once had to explain to an american couple in a hotel (when I was visiting Montreal) that we do not drive on the left hand side of the road. What makes it better is I explained this in perfect english, as I live in an english speaking part of Canada, but the couple still spoke real slow with exaggerated hand gestures to get their points across.
Also, When I was in school, we had a guest speaker fly in from Florida to attend some multi-school conference. This guy straight up wore a Parka here...in June!!!!
Bro don’t get to embarrassed about it. As an Aussie we know it’s not all Americans, it’s just that we have met multiple Americans that are like this.
We all have stories
I toured the US with 3 friends in 1983. Bit of a bogan trip, they were ignorant. One thought Washington DC was north of California. Another claimed stubbornly that roadrunners didn't exist, that they were a figment of a Warner Brother's cartoonist's imagination ...until he saw one. The third didn't believe it could snow in Texas, until a number of pictures convinced him.
Mr Washington-DC-is-on-the-west-coast was the worst. Cable TV was a new thing in the US, and they screened a shitload of foreign films. Including the very good 1981 film, 'Gallipoli', by Peter Weir. Americans were impressed by Aussie fortitude in battle, they told us. Yes, agreed Mr Washington, Gallipoli was Australia's greatest victory of world war 2.
Then he saw puzzled expressions on the American's faces, so set forth in a monologue to put aside those naive assumptions it was a retreat in world war one...
@@nevillewran4083 I have met and worked with so many people from so many countries and I can honestly say that every single country has these people. Sometimes it’s hard to work out if they are serious or joking.
@@sykotika13thirteen It _is_ hard. I've had my bitching about Americans on this channel, but yes, every nationality has examples of boorishness.
I was visiting USA from Australia and went to a party and a girl asked where I was from, when I answered that I am Australian she complemented me on my English. I played along and asked if she knew what language Australians speak (I was expecting her to say German or some other language). She said that our home language was Spanish. I had never had that before. I was trying to work out why she thought Spanish and can only figure out that she thought that given Australia was in the Southern Hemisphere that every one south speaks Spanish.
Oh my god😂
Well then HOLA AMIGO desde Coffs Harbour NSW!!!! hahahaha.

It was a nice day here in Coffs today, wannit' hun?
I had a few problems trying to understand all that Spanostrayan though, ugh! 🤦♀️🤣
How weird. 😂
What?! 😆
What makes me laugh is how defensive you got because someone said 'I have so many of these stories' causing you to start hating on her. You've literally sat watching similar stories be told by multiple people, yet doubt that she has more than a few stories of dumb shit people have said to her while in the US. She wasn't the one that came across as arrogant...
Personally I think it was the eye roll that was offencive! Her non verbal signalling was very offencive and dismissive.
@@jesamindee6783 or exasperation? when you get endless silly things said to you, you'll find you're full of exasperation.
Totally agree 👍
👏 👏 👏!!!!
honestly i think he judged her for her appearance because his disliking was immediate. lost some respect for him tbh
I'm so thankful i'm an Australian born and raised 🙏
I'm Italian, and I must admit that as a child I often dreamed of moving to America... then luckily I woke up...
Good for you! I moved to the US from Switzerland, knowing that I’m giving up a lot of security and quality. But man, the USA is so much worse than you can imagine. I’m now moving back to Europe, back to civilization.
"Expressing how she's KEEN for marriage" - yes.
PLEASE watch the next one - it's got a bunch of Aussies in it!
I was a 16year old exchange student from Greece in Minnesota. Don't get me started with the amount of senior students (am..the majority actually)that asked me if we have washing mashines,cuisines, supermarkets, electricity,cars etc. in Greece and they were actually pretty amazed that I was wearing jeans (..what the f*, did they expected me to wear an ancient Greek tunic or something? ).On top of that being extra uncomfortable with all the stupid questions I was becoming really introverted and conscious of other people so ...one of the "famous " guys of school took a romantic interest at me and and suddenly got the courage of asking me out ,I declined (cause I really had no interest at dating at that time),but he persistently wanted to know the reason why not. I tried to be polite but he was not getting it so I told him finally that "sorry but you are not my type"(it's important to say here that I have a Latin appearance- honey toned,brown eyes ,and dark hair).
Well...next day blue eyed-blond E. marched proudly towards me saying "Now what you think?Does that qualify enough?" The dude dyed his hair black and he thought he "fixed" the problem! I was awestruck!!!
And I have so so much more dumb stories (even from some teachers too).
Now what do you think my teen perspective about Americans was ??
Note that 1) they other exchange students from other countries that were in the same area had similar- every single day- experiences
and 2) on our return journey that all the greek students that lived in different states chatted and what you know?!
We all had similar experiences ("the marmotas day of idiocy "..).
So by now I believe you pretty much figured out by now what was our basic conclusion!
Now I'm a grown woman and I'm more empathetic and understanding (I'm really trying) but...guys!!You really have to educate yourselves and take an interest on the rest of the world for a change !!If you wanna prevent these thoughts, well... if you don't know something just zip it and do quick researches for starters(google it for cry out loud)!It will only take you a minute at a time now ,geez!!
That's the arrogance of some males the world over. "Lucky you, I just asked you on a date. I know you're salivating at the thought". Then when you say no, however diplomatically, they're not only shocked, but angered a little. And a few will demand an explanation, as if you are obliged to a), always say yes and b), if you so arrogantly decline, offer a reason like flying out of the country that night or you're dying of cancer. No other excuse is acceptable.
Sadly, that entitled male attitude is widespread in many nationalities. But stronger and more common in Americans.
But dying his hair? Never heard of that one. It's one hell of an anecdote. wow!!!
I was in Vegas with my hubby (we're both Aussies), and we met a random couple on the strip. I told them where we were from (i.e Perth, Western Australia), and he goes "Oh I've got a friend in Sydney. You might know him!". I had to inform him of the fact that Sydney is on the other side of the country to me, and that Australia has 25 million people living here, so chances are, no, I wouldn't know your mate! LOL
I’ve heard of this, like when someone from Vancouver is asked if they happen to know their buddy’s cousin who lives in Toronto. Like they run into each other on the street all the time.
Try being Irish ,they will ask you about a dead great grandmother from 100 years ago ...”did you hear of her?” No she was dead fifty years before I was born..it happens a lot believe me
I have a similar story. I was in Boston, Massachusetts at a party and was asked where I came from. I thought he wouldn't understand where I lived in the UK (a Hamlet in Cambridgeshire) so I tod him I lived just outside London. His reply was to ask whether I knew his friend who lived in Liverpool, He expected me to know his friend who lived 300 miles away in a country of 65 million people. That's when I realised how ignorant some Americans can be about the rest of the World.
There is a difference between being dumb and being ignorant; in my experience a lot of people are ignorant, not stupid. And, by the way, I am French, not American…
Yes, I am Australian and they are not dumb, a lot of Americans dont know because they are not taught about the rest of the world.
@@elsie_asmr2443 Some, like every other population, even when you try to put them right, argue with you, and don't look up the information to deny or confirm.
Of course, a lot of this is ignorance. It enters the realm of stupidity when they argue. In today's age, there is no reason to be THIS ignorant.
Ignorant is not knowing, stupid is insisting you are still right when people correct you
@@TheZeroAssassin Aren't the stupid in your example *ignoring* advice, which would make them ignorant as well? My dictionary (english isn't my first language) would give me other suggestions for people who insist on themselves being right when being corrected: -incorrigible, -unteachable, -inconvincible, -inveterate
(I would have called people who just don't know: "uneducated in that matter")
An average Norwegian student probably know more about America than an average American😅
Not even probably, I'd say, but for sure.
I am beginning to think we should require everyone born in the US to pass an IQ test to be allowed to vote.
TRUE, i'm so thankful i'm Australian💖
@drmadjdsadjadi, maybe an IQ test to breed
Didn't Trump say he liked the uneducated? There seems to be quite a pool to choose from.
And to travel internationally 😂
@@cgkennedy didn't Joe Biden say that poor kids are just as educated as white people? I think we know who the democrats love the most.
If an American or anyone else for that matter argues like this with you, just pull out your phone and ask Siri right in front of them. When she tells them the facts that should educate them. Pretty sure they will believe it if Siri says it.
And what should you do if you don't have an iPhone? That's another thing I see sooo many times in CZcams: why do US people assume that everybody on the world has an iPhoine? (as for myself, I prefer Android to iOS but, since I can't afford a Samsung, I've just a humble Chinese Redmi).😉😃 Edit: add the emojis
Ryan gettin real defensive by the end lol
There was a current affairs program in America during the 1990's. The slogan of the program was everything you need to know about the world from coast-to-coast. Yes they really said that in the introduction every time.
As an Alaskan who has visited the lower 48 states I have experienced the same type of situations. My sister and I were in Maryland and people actually believe that we don't have houses, roads, or transportation...let alone that we are even a state. Fact is that even our US military considers AK to be an overseas deployment 🙄. Actually played along with it and told them yeah we drive sled dogs everywhere. Our educational system is in a dire state to say the least.
That is so sad that your education system is failing the country so badly.
"...in a dire state."😊 Which one? There are 50 of them. 😊 Pun, please excuse me..
I am an American but I lived in Germany for a really long time. I went to a German school for 2nd and 3rd grade. 4th grade, I was in an American school. I had a social studies class where I learned about how the US works and our role in the world. I learned about the states and territories. 5th grade was like US history(conquistadors, Aztecs, pilgrims, Revolutionary War) which was stuff I mostly knew cause I had a brain. 6th grade was World History(ancient so like Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, China, etc.). 7th grade was geography where we learned where other countries were and their languages, flags, population, etc. 8th grade was more "modern" US History like the Civil War, westward expansion, and the like. 9th grade was more world history up to the Renaissance. 10th grade was advanced studies of US history I, advanced studies of US history II was 11th grade. I also took British History because I love it along with European history in general. It is my senior year and I am taking AP economics because I thought'd be fun. I also go to school in Alabama which has one of the worst education systems in the US last I checked.
Point is, Americans are taught a lot of this in school. It's just a matter of who is paying attention and has 2 brain cells that generate an iota of common sense.
I was on holiday in the UK. My husband and I were sitting in a village pub, somewhere in Wiltshire. A group of Americans came in, heard us talking and asked us what part of the uk are we from (we are Australian) my Husband told them that we are from Ireland. They believed him. Naturally I couldn’t be outdone, so I told them that if they wanted to see Stonehenge they had better see it ASAP because the snow is coming and Stonehenge gets packed up and stored in a big shed, before the first snow. They were so grateful for that tip that they bought us some drinks and rushed off to see Stonehenge before it gets packed up.

OH! I've just remembered another one - when I was in Boston, I was asked where I was from so I said London - and they said "London - is that, like, the capital of Europe?"
No, man, just the capital of England. Which ALSO isn't the capital of Europe (his next question).

i'm from Puerto Rico and back in the dark ages when the internet was just starting and one would hang out in chat rooms (A/S/L remember that?) there were many comments of surprise from americans on how we had internet or electricity and if we were living in proper houses yet or still tee pee's and shacks. I would have hoped now with more global information access this would be less of a thing
Thanks Ryan for proving that ‘most’ Americans don’t know a world outside of the USA. LOVING your Ozzie Content though🇦🇺💚💛💚💛

As a dutch person who went on exchange to Michigan for a while, I have a few comments that actually came back regularly. Things like 'do they have cars on the Netherlands?', 'ooooh Holland, that is in Amsterdam right?', 'Do you have shoe's?' and 'your English is so good, how did you learn dutch at such a young age?'

In younger years I used to be a taxi driver in the beautiful Austrian Alps, in a Region where a family named "Von Trapp" started their emmigration to the USA in the beginning of the third reich... This family got famous in the U.S. later on and a movie about their life named "the sound of music" had been made in the 1950s...
It may be famous in the USA but in Austria almost nobody knows the family or even the movie...
One day I was ordered to bring a family from their hotel to the Salzburg airport, a trip for about one and a half hours.
While driving I started some small talk and asked them how their journey had been... They told me that they were so disappointed about the locals wearing normal clothes and not the typical austrian "Lederhosen" and "Dirndl" and that the city of Zell am See must be a fake because it has nothing in common with the landscape and the mood of the movie...
The rest of the trip got very quiet...
In Australia, kids of the ages of 10yrs old would know the difference between Europe and Asia. There is no excuse, especially from a High Schooler. That High Schooler would be teased to oblivion.

To be fair Ireland was once recognised as a British country, although that was changed exactly 100 years ago lol.
I would probably assume people make the error today because Northern Ireland is part of the UK and they don't have any clue there's a separation between the North and the South, aswel as them just having no clue where Dublin is.
Ireland isn't a country who's history is tought a whole lot even here in NZ, and well it makes sense when you look at your history because your neighbour country happens to be the one that thought it was a good idea to go around and colonize all of us and constantly have wars with everybody in your area for hundreds or thousands of years maybe lol.
The only reason I know anything at all about Ireland is because I love Irish chicks and that is the sexiest accent on the planet haha. Sex makes the world go round and nothing can make a dude learn random shit more effectively than the influence of a woman lol.
We were invaded and subjugated for 800 years. We were the protype for colonisation for the British Empire. We were never willing British.
I met an American who thought Scotland was IN England. Conversation: "my husband is from Scotland" "Oh my gawsh I LOVE Scotland! Where in England is it?" "Uuuuuh....the north?"
I only recently found out that Wales is a country, like Scotland and Ireland, and not a district of England, like Essex. I just thought it had a strong sense of identity. I’m 🇨🇦, and was equating it to Quebec.

It's not just Americans. I'm Australian born, Italian heritage. In 2013, I visited Uluru in the Northern Territory. An indigenous man was doing a talk about his culture. There was an Italian couple sitting nearby (they were tourists from Italy). The lady asked the indigenous man with all sincerity, if his people were allowed to marry white people. I died inside.
I waited until they left, approached the indigenous man and apologised to him on their behalf. He took it very well.
True story. 😞
There's more....the indigenous man was showing the visitors examples of traditional tools and hunting weapons. The Italian tourist asked, "do you still hunt like that?"
He replied with a wry smile, "Nah, we use a Ute (pick up truck) and rifles."
🤣🤣🤣
To be fair, 'interracial' marriage for our indigenous peoples only became lawful at a federal level with the introduction of the Marriage Act in 1961. Before that, states and territories were able to (and some did) restrict such marriages, subject to the approval of Aboriginal marriage applications by specified government representatives for each state. It wasn't until the 1971 census that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders were even counted as part of the population......
@@anserbauer309 and Italian tourists would know all that? I don't think so
@@queenslanddiva Well, obviously if they knew that Australia had changed its laws to ensure marriage equality for Aboriginal people, they wouldn't have asked the question, right?
In the mid-20th Century, Australia, the US and South Africa were known throughout Europe (and the world) for their racist policies and laws and their fixation on 'white superiority'. It was well known, particularly among peoples whose family members had emigrated to these countries after WWII, that 'non-whites' were subject to marriage bans, limited citizenship and restrictions on voting. It was like that for most of those countries' histories post-colonisation.
It's quite possible that those tourists still held very outdated understandings of Australia's cultural landscape and were ignorant of the massive social changes that have taken place over the last 50 years....... which I acknowledge demonstrates a deep and abiding commitment to ignorance of a country they intended to visit; but that's how some people still see Australia.

The (modern) English name of Wales for Cymru (kumˈri - Brittonic for 'friends') originates from the Old English 'Wealh' which meant Briton; the Welsh are the descendants of the original indigenous population of Roman Britannia. 👍
Fascinating! Thanks 😊
Indeed, I'm Welsh and you are correct.🏴
My embarrassing moment of ignorance was finding out after 50 years of life that Wales was its own country in the United Kingdom, like Scotland and Ireland. I had been thinking it was a district of England, like Essex 🤦♀️ it always seemed to have a strong sense of independent identity, but then so does Quebec in 🇨🇦. Sigh. 🤷♀️
And then there’s the name “Wales”… which means the opposite 🙃
@@christinamann3640 To Class wales as a part of England is considered an insult, just like if you classed Scotland or Ireland as part of england.
When i was visiting the US I was in Colorado and someone asked me where I was from I told her Australia and she was like omg im so sorry we destroyed your language 🤔 I didn't know where to even begin to explain everything wrong about that comment so I said that's ok we do a good job of butchering it ourselves.
Self-irony can be a deadly weapon xD
But I suppose she didn't even understand? :D

Once had a yank tell me that cows where invented in America😂
Haha I just love these videos keep them up 👍
Don’t they teach the kids geography?? Or have the world map in schools?
In Australia we have geography in all levels of school.
I just assumed it was the same everywhere.
Americans have answered under other reaction videos like this,
that they have nowadays only in 4th or 5th grade between 1 or 2 Years of history classes (from context i believe about world history outside the USA) combined with simple geography to pinpoint where actually the country is they talking about.
and only later in college is the next time they can chose a Geography course
I worked as a server in a resort in Queensland. I looked after a large table of American tourists for lunch. The loudest most obnoxious woman at the table was the one that took the bill and after 1.5 hours of impeccable service no thankyou. I politely asked where they where off to next on their travels of Australia. She loudly says SID DIN NEY YEAHR. Sydney.😵💫 So I told the table of 10 Americans the fable of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The bridge was built to save the kangaroos that tried to swim across Sydney Harbour. So the bridge was built so kangaroos can safely get across. Be sure when travelling on the bridge to give way to ALL The migrating kangaroos and have your camera's ready!!
Gasps ! Oh WOW Ahhmazing we will sure look out for those roos. 🤭😂
My sister had a friend from the Yukon, where they loved to tell the tourists to watch out for the ‘great big’ grizzly bears if they wanted to go shopping downtown. 😂

Spent 3 weeks in Spain one summer doing an intensive Spanish language course, there was this girl in my class from Florida, she was there for a few weeks before starting university (UCLA). At the end of one class she asked the teacher (in english) which train she needed to get to go to Mexico, she wanted to spend the weekend there. We just stared confused. The teacher asked 'Mexico?' She confirmed. The teacher told her she needed a plane to go to Mexico. The girl just said 'Oh, I thought I could get a plane'. The teacher was trying hard not to laugh.
Oh Ryan, love your reaction to these. Don't worry about it too much, we have dumb Aussies too.
Yeh dude the ones that ask people from England what language they speak always blows my mind. And people that think the Spanish language comes from Mexico not even realizing Spain exists always makes me shake my head.
Your countries education system needs to work on its international history, more specifically the history of the empires. Maybe then they'd realize they are currently speaking English because of people from England in the British Empire, maybe then they'd realize people south of your border speak Spanish because of the Spanish empire lol.
They might even just maybe come to realize how the current American empire is just as evil as the others and why a large chunk of the world hates Americans in the same way the Americans hated the Brits before they gained independence.
The US doesn't have much in the way of history in the big picture so it does leave me wondering what American schools are teaching. Most of us hated history class so there's that part that I understand, but this stuff I'm talking about is really basic stuff that you should be learning long before you even hit high school.
Oh and that would give the answer on what language we speak in Australasia and why lol.
Do not think Ryan knows his fellow Yanks as well as he should, this stuff is so common,
This week a US News Presenter told viewers Australia's Govt is the same as Chinas and he was serious, not that we are like China but the same, has he not seen Pacific Forum this week.
Fox a RW so called intellectual last week said USA needs to follow Australia's example, they only have White People and no Crime, News Presenter totally agreed with him, FFS
US Media is mess New and Old ignore the world events, could barely find a mention about our Election, Quad Mention, Pacific seem to only cover Cute or irrelevant issues like a Tennis Players Visa. PBS try's but comes no where close to ABC, SBS or NITV
Other thing they do is take Hit TV shows from other countries and remake them for Yanks, this is why they can never pick out different English accents, they do same with Movies, Even when one makes it like Croc Dundee the Yanks will tell you they made that movie, reason there were shots of New York in it.
And why in the USA you speak English, well a facsimile. It was very nearly German.
Now you've gone and done it. Saying Australasia is just gonna confuse them even more 😂
I once pointed out to a visiting Portuguese African American that his family shares Europe's history, we don't just keep it for ourselves. He was delighted when the penny dropped.
In high school, we were talking about Canada in Geography class and a girl asked "Isn't Quebec in Thailand?"... This was also the same girl who once asked in Chemistry what the Chemical formula for H2O was. Not the Chemical formula for water. She straight up said H2O.
Was this US or Canada?
@@christinamann3640 In the US.
@@yukikitsune7366 yikes
Obviously an American, right?
The number of times that we have had American tourists here in Cardiff say that they love it here in England. We're the capital city of Wales.
In Amsterdam, an American couple asked me the way to the statue of Manneken Pis. It's in Brussels. To be honest, while it can be upsetting for us Europeans to hear people from the USA claim that Denmark is the capital of Germany or such things, in return I don't think all Europeans would be able to point for example, Idaho on a map of the US :-) And we have plenty of ignorant fools over here as well. Cheer up Ryan!
I know both! My family is from Den Haag, but I grew up in Boise. You know, I've actually met other Dutch people and Americans who speak Dutch in the Treasure Valley...though I can't say I've ever met anyone from Idaho in the Netherlands.
But Idaho is a state, Germany and Denmark are both countires.
I think the arrogance and ignorance of Americans is why these sorts of tik tok’s exist, and why every other country on earth takes great pleasure in ripping into the US. I live in Wales, (it does exist) 🤣 and I got asked if I knew the Queen… like yeah, sure, she’s my next door neighbour… 🤦🏼♀️
Yeah. Currently attending uni in Wales, and during freshers week (the Queen died just before that started), I was approached by an international student from America who was surprised at how little we all seemed to care about the funeral. He was under the impression that we were all close friends with her and should have been absolutely devastated. Kinda cute, really.
Imagine an American college advisor asking someone they think speaks French as a first language why they would study their own language. They must have slept through their English composition classes.
😂😂😂
I'm feeling and understand your pain Ryan. Just to put you at ease, we have these people here in Australia also.
Many years ago I brought my Spanish girlfriend over to Oz to introduce her to my family. We were at a family get together, and during the course of a conversation my uncle asked her if they used knives and forks in Spain. My girlfriend (later wife) was so offended. I think no matter wherever you go in the world it would be easy to make this video.
Going to America, every second person was amazed at how well we spoke English coming from Australia. Ummm… we speak the Queens English. It was amazing how insular American education seemed to be and how they thought no other country could hold a candle to the USA. Australian and British education values world wide knowledge, including continents, countries, spoken languages, and history. Everyone I know from Western Europe and Australia is thankful they don’t live in America.
When I was in college in Texas, someone asked me where was I born and I said Singapore. He went, “You were born on a plane?” Cos yes, Singapore Airlines was and still is one of the top airlines in the world. I didn’t laugh at him cos Singapore is a tiny island.
You do know that every Country has their own share of stupid? It is just that there are so many Americans you see it more. Wasn’t helpful? Okay try this from Australia.
I sent my daughter to school speaking and counting in 4 languages. Her IQ is Mensa level and it was rare to have just one child at home with me who loved to learn anything. She started learning languages at two years old, she wasn’t fluent in all but she was good.
I got a note from her teacher after 2 weeks asking me to come in at lunchtime so she could show how stupid my child was. I went because she had my attention and I told her to show me how stupid my daughter was. She told her to count to 10 which she did perfectly in Italian and I told her that. I told her to please specify a language the next time and the teacher was embarrassed but then she made it worse.
She told me she didn’t realise with her colouring that she had Italian heritage, she doesn’t. She is very pale in colouring and when she was born her hair was so light it didn’t look blonde, it looked white. Then I wondered if the teacher knew in Southern Italy there were blonde Italians and dark Italians? I told her the other languages my baby spoke and she had a love for learning languages. No, none of them were a part of her heritage. I was scared that she was teaching my child for the rest of the year but my daughter just ignored her or corrected her when she was wrong. Yep, I got a letter about her correcting the teacher in front of others. I asked if she wrong and was told no because she always showed the teacher where she went wrong. Then I asked would she rather teach the wrong information? If not why didn’t she ask my child to check what was on the board before class started and she did. My daughters first child did the same thing for her grade 4 teacher. My Granddaughter is now a Genetic Research Scientist who came first in her Bachelors degree and first in a year of Honours and is just finishing getting her Masters and Doctorate. She teaches 3rd year Uni in Chemistry and Biology while she is finishing so she doesn’t need an outside job to live. We only have high achievers so stupid really stands out.
Stupidity isn't only an American trade, but when they do stupid, they go all in =)
It is true that "stupid" exists everywhere. But here in the US we are only 5% of the world's population so our percentage of stupid is astronomical compared to other countries.
@@ruthstaus409 I think that might have to do with the fact that Americans are so insular. You regularly hear Americans saying they are the best country on Earth and I think that is enough for them to think that they don't need to know about anything else.
@@WatchingDude We in Australia, also have world news on our regular news programs either radio or TV, that gives us an understanding of what going on in other countries around the world. In the US they only get US news, so unles they search for the information they remain ignorant of what is happen ing in other countries.
@@ruthstaus409, no. I don’t believe you have anymore stupid than any other Country. I do believe that teachers have very little power left over a class and it is becoming the same here. I also think it is because in America they lower the pass rates to keep a school’s levels up. Our teacher’s only power is to keep a child back if they don’t pass and they use it. I now know as an adult the teacher was being punished too.
Children today know the teacher cannot make them do homework. Or even sit and be quiet during class because they cannot discipline them anymore. I don’t mean using the cane. I mean having the right to keep someone in until they finish what should have been finished in class. My teachers used to keep us in at lunch, we would get 15 minutes to eat. Then we got to hear everyone playing and having fun, that only ever happened to me once. It was a mistake, she was looking at the book of the girl that sat next to me but I never corrected a teacher. We were raised to respect them and all adults. We were more scared of our Mother’s getting that rule wrong than the teachers. Not now and both of our Countries need to make some changes now.
Lol that chick from Wales 😂
These were all hilarious!
Prince of Whales!😂😂😂😂😂 Americans are so funny
Interestingly enough, I have heard from several Welsh people that Americans either don't believe Wales is a real country or can't guess where it is.
To be fair, up until recently I thought it was a part of England, like Essex. I figured it just had a strong sense of identity, but so does Quebec. 🤦♀️🤷♀️🇨🇦
Yes, I would believe that. Geography is a subject which is beyond comprehension for many Americans.
"a humble American..." 🤔 - You'll have to come to the UK... I'd love to see one in RL... 😉
Lol, the prince of 'whales' thing just made me think of how confused some people would be by an Aussie introducing themselves as from the Land of Oz lol.
Here in Australia, we can assure you, no one is chasing a green card to live in America.
Things change all the time and there is a different curriculum in every state, however it is my understanding that kids at primary school in Australia are generally taught where various countries are situated, their flags, cultures etc. I don't think the Philippines in Europe thing would ever fly here. Australia has a predominantly European culture similar to that of the US and many of us could possibly afford to be as insular in our thinking, however most people here have a curiosity regarding every other place on earth. It possibly helps that we have 2 public broadcasters that are well funded in the ABC and SBS, that devote a portion of their programming to documentaries and overseas matters. Our commercial news and current affairs television also brings us this information to a smaller degree. Apart from AFL, all of our other sports involve international competition and because Australia is so relatively young, most people can trace their ancestry back to the nation/s from which their ancestors migrated. I just think with Google and the internet these days, people have near infinite access to this sort of information. Before that there were encyclopedias.
The big thing is that most Australians are down-to-earth and kinder than most in the world.

Only Germans will know how embarassing this was: I visited Cologne with a friend and their American cousins. I've told them, that Cologne is also famous for its special beer, "Kölsch". So we visited not only the cathedral but also a Biergarten at the Rhine River, not one of these tourist traps, one people living in cologne visit. With cologne typical food and drinks.
We ordered some food and beer. Kölsch comes normally in a small 0,2l glass. But the cousins (40 yrs old), whose aim was to get drunk as quickly as possible, insisted that they'd be given "a real German beer". They argued with the waitress and then even called the boss. In the end they got Kölsch in a Bavarian mug. 1l Kölsch.
My girlfriend and I were embarrassed, she said she just barely stopped the cousins from wearing their fake Lederhosen.
I find it very annoying that Americans often think that Germany is part of Bavaria. That's like thinking of the US as part of Texas. Not only New Yorkers would be offended.
