UK and America share a common history which sparks a lot of emotion. I wanted to know what was the opinion of the British people on America! So i grabbed my mic and went on the street to find out.

It is funny the British calling Americans obese , isnt that calling the kettle black.
Exactly The UK isn’t that far behind. Actually the USA is 18th in the world in regards to obesity
@@BigSherm328 all the food portions are massive when you go to America and you see massively obese people so it’s a common stereotype lol
UK is fat for European standards but the US is on another level, it's quite noticeable especially in certain areas.
🇺🇸 don’t make sense
@@dangercat9188 we have McDonald’s here too and I get it sometimes when I need something tasty and quick. It’s not really true it’s just a stereotype, I’ve heard Americans say our teeth are bad. Is it true for everyone no, same way there’s a lot of super healthy fit people in America
The last time I was in London it was packed with Muslim gangs. My lady friend (Scottish) was genuinely (and justifiably) afraid.
I’d rather be in the relative safety of Miami than anywhere around King’s Cross.
You have to be careful in London. There are no-go areas. Even those of us from different parts of the country don't go down London for this reason. It's not the safest place.
you are rasict
More than half the people you interviewed were not british my friend
How about you actually ask some British people.
Fine I I’ll starve my self
None left here anymore mate
@@yungmagik Patriotic Alternative. Support them and save Britain.
You should read what my country thinks about u you in America
Exactly! My experience has been totally different as I was married to a British woman and her family and friends treated me like I was a superstar! 😅
I love the fact that I’m seeing more and more of these videos on CZcams. Asking countries what they think of other countries is great we all learn a lot at least I do.
Glad you appreciate it Darius!
@@ArnaudFromFrance thank you for the videos I’m always willing to learn more
@@TheMrDarius Really cool, if you want me to cover a special topic let me know :)
As a Californian I really enjoyed this. Of course the U.S. is huge and powerful, so true. It's as big as from Ireland to Iraq. Sure, people abroad have stereotypes of us, that's understandable. But every state is like it's own country, we all have a common language or two, considering many of us speak Spanish now too. There is culture here, and different customs in different regions. If you want to know our regional food and customs you have to stay for while with a family and eat dinner many times ;) all the commercial restaurants are not actually American food, that's just a corporate overlay of blandness. I grew up on a small ranch and farm, riding horses, throwing hay, hunting and fishing in the Sierra Nevada mountains, but I also lived near a big city and had all that experience and education as well. We absolutely have a culture, or many cultures. It's just hard to get past all the pretend generic American culture of movies. And we're not all obese nor rude lol When I go to European countries everyone thinks I'm French. Haha Je ne se qua. Parle Fransais un pur. But I've found French people and Danish people and Swiss people to be very friendly. Zer gut, tre magnifique. One thing to consider, all the Americans you like overseas are exactly the same Americans who have money in the States. Lol And are perhaps the ones you don't like from afar. Isn't that weird? I think so, so nuanced that relationship. Anyway, don't worry about another Trump, that will never happen again. We will learn, have learned, and are rapidly compensating so it will never happen again. Besides, Trump was trying to be President for many election cycles, maybe it was inevitable. But he is a one-off, there is nobody else in the U.S. positioned like him and with his uniquely horrible attitude, thank god. Lol Slainte! Salude! Slante! Prost! Skoll! Nostrovia! Cheers
Ahaha super cool comment Josh! love it! keep up with your French tho 😉
When the guy said "obese" and the subtitles said "a beast". LUV IT! LOL
Great video man! As an American I love to see content like this, it's really engaging to find out what other's think about the things you never really pay attention to. Maybe you could ask people about the things they think we take most for granted, just a thought! Keep up the good work dude!
Glad you enjoyed it man! Thanks for your comment and the idea, i will ask that question really soon to the British :)
😆 A lot of people talking trash about the USA were wearing denim clothing... This material came from the Sierra Nevada Mountains as a durable fabric (reinforced with rivets) for the miners. So, I guess we're not all bad? 😜
@@andrewbarrett42most Australians have our same blood. And I don’t mean far back a lot of Australians have parents or grandparents from here.
@@andrewbarrett42 Idk why Australians can be such asshole given most of them have fairly recent English ancestry. I agree though, maybe they try so hard to forget where they come from. I’ve met quite a few Australians who have cracked jokes at me, and then I remind them their great grandparents were the exact same as me and they shut up. Americans are even worse but tbh Americans have been in North America so long that I understand.
Most of the them talk trash about Americans, but then they all want to visit here and most will never go back!
Bc America is not your land ... it's native Americans who are real Americans.....you guys are mixed of Europe Africa Asia genes...the time Christopher Columbus found the America ...that time America was born with not having any history.@@lenasmith4895
@@lenasmith4895Not true!
No, he didn't say "a beast". He said "obese" (= very fat).
It kind of fits either way though.😂
Most British people think they're healthy because they are underweight, I've been to England and everyone looked anorexic, North Koreans have more meat on their bones.
That guy you First interviewed isn’t English mate. He’s Asian
At the very start when he asks the man sitting down what the first word he thinks of when he thinks of America is, he says obese, but in the subtitles it says a beast!😂😂
Who's gonna tell that black French guy that Obama hasn't been president for damn near 10 years?! 😅😅
Tysm 😍😍
i got you bro!
what's with the audio?
Over half of them are not British.
I know, people don’t understand that is English are white
As a English man I am embarrassed by all of this because I know these people are obsess with american culture. They calm they hate America while watching an American film and eating American fast food.
But the whole world thinks the same way, not just the British. Also the Japanese and Australians.
good energy! keep going!

Thank you very much Johannes for the feedback, really appreciate it!
England is best and I am staying here.
I Took World History and a course of English Literature in High School over 56 years ago. So I was familiar with Churchill, Beowulf,Geoffrey Chaucer Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe George Barnard Shaw, James Joyce, General Montgomery, Thomas Moore, King John and the Magna Carter, Jane Austin, the Bronte sisters , George Eliot and many others ie John Wesley., William Wiburforce, William Penn Shelley, Lord Byron, Keats, Mary Shelley ,George Orwell, C.S. Lewis, John Bunyan, Charles Dickens. Famous scientists, Francis Bacon,Isaac Newton,Findley, Faraday, Priestly are just some old school scientists from English history. Do people in Great Britain take high school courses that include USA History and and American literature. Someone remembering Eisenhower, Gen.Marshall or the Marshall plan and the dropping of food to Germany would be nice. John Paul Jones came from Scotland. Our Navy greatly appreciates this gift of a man. Hemingway, Scott Fitzgerald, Edgar Allen Poe, EE Cummings, Walt Whitman, Edith Wharton are some USA contributions to literature. Eli Whitney inventor, Edison Inventor, Alexander Graham Bell inventor, Benjamin Franklin, inventor, author, statesman but preferred the French to the English. Some other famous people besides the least that was spoken of in this video. How about George Washington Carver and Fredrick Douglas writers, statesmen and educators. So many more of the last 50 years that were working during my life time after my high school ended. I will add a immigrant to USA Irving Berlin who wrote Over There" God Bless America he aptly described my country from sea to shining sea. There are purple mountains, there are lands that are flat and are golden with harvest, the are mountains that are green and birds sing and streams murmur and there are oceans that are white with foam, there are humming birds, and theaters, too many lights and prairies, lakes and fields of wheat, corn,pumpkins growing and great trees and tumbling weeds. Hot winds and big canyons, hot waters that spew a hundred feet high. Board walks and canyons made out of sky scrapers and ice and cold winds. When you come do not hang around the cities and do not go to tourist traps. Go to little towns, to the Midwest, to the west . Walk the many paths. Stop at the fields and waterfalls. Look for the old homespun ways. Learn of the pioneers and the strong women who endured loneliness and nursed and brought up their families.
Hi Sweet Pea, your knowledges of history is certainly humbling, i definitively agree with you on the things you said about America, there is beautiful things there, i would love to go back 😁
Big up bro
thanks my man
wow
Thanks...
What mass media stereotype comes to mind when the British think of America. That should be the title.
What’s up with the audio
I’m English I’ve been to Quebec Canada and I have to say everyone spoke French, ate French food, French architecture it was kinda scary
I'm American and I went to Montreal for my 18th birthday like 9 years ago and I will never forget falling in love with poutine and ketchup chips lol.
@@dangercat9188 and the crepes were amazing as well. Breakfast crepes with cheese and ham, and dessert crepes with chocolate and bananas. And I might order some ketchup chips now that I have reminded me!
Your voice only comes from left side. It will be perfect if u can fix the stereo. Thanks for the effort! And yes, US is a country of immigrants and mixed cultures.
Thanks for the comment ED, really appreciate it! :)
Hey friends im mexican and wanna visit both countries.
i love usa and united kingdom ❤
good old moor market
At least Americans know how to serve up a proper breakfast!
A burger?
lol a pancake with scrambled eggs, fluffy sweet something you call “bread” and a gallon of coffee is not a breakfast. 😂
@@dudoklasovity2093 That's your opinion.
We argue then think we can buy are selfs out of it
America is extra! :)
at 1:37 he must of got his ahh whooped thats why he hates it
I THINK IT IS TERRIBLE HOW MUCH ISLAM IS IN
THE UK AND EU
Yes, because of the wars started by the USA. In Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya.
The Iraq War gave rise to IS, which also led to war in Syria. Germany was not in any of these wars, but bears the greatest burden through mass immigration from these countries.
Everyone wants EVERYTHING from USA!! but you don't like us? 😊😊
is it like that or USA wants to give everything to everyone and then take everything? They kind of control the world...
Yup 100% accurate
As an American familiar with English, including being married to one, you are 100% accurate. Lol
Me too! I was married to one as well! Quite the experience lol! @@katew.176
@@ramonep7973 we should start a club 😄
He still things Obama is president 😭
It was a really funny interaction 😂
Lmao 😂😂😂
lol im trying not to be offended as an american
lil baby😂😂😂
most of the stereotypes that these people are using to define America almost identify exclusively with New York City and Texas... lol
Jealousy is a sickness.
Who is jealous the uk or USA
both in different ways i think @@katieevans8423
Britain is quite far itself. UK is 27% obese. That is more than 1 in 4 British that are obese. The US is ranked 13th. So yeah, we have a lot of fatties, but we aren’t the only ones. Russia is 30% obese. New Zealand is 34%.
In the US 54% of black women are obese. 50% of Hispanic women are obese. 38% of white women. Hispanic men are fatties. White and Black men are about the same.
SHEFFIELD REPRESENT!!!!
yea obese is a beast :D
indeed i made a typo there, my bad!
I was shocked at how many of the people interviewed had actually visited the US. My guess is that the vast majority of Americans have never been outside the US.
Bacause they don't know that others also exist
Some not even out of their own town!!!😊
@Hillr2249 I knew a girl when I was in the 9th grade (age 14) who had never been outside the city we were in, and had no interest in visiting other places. Amazing back then, although I would think this is rarer these days.
@@stephanledford9792 yes. It's good to travel. Teaches you how others live. You don't become stagnet. It's still happening
@@Hillr2249 My dad worked overseas, so my perspective is different from many Americans because I not only visited other countries but lived in two different countries for a while. One thing you realize fairly quickly is that despite cultural and language differences, people are pretty much people no matter their race, culture or language.
'big up george floyd' wow says alot about him and what he supports
You’re asking a bunch of non British people though?
I've been in just about every American state. Traveled lots in America. Now, I'm ready to go abroad. To the UK first. So, I"m very interested in what they think. Yes, America is huge. The majority of Americans do not like Donald Trump. He did not win the popular vote. I don't see cultures being that different from one state to the other. Rural America is different from urban America. Rural America is usually Republican and conservative, urban America is usually Democrat and liberal. I think we are all very upset about the great divide that has happened in our country over Republicans vs Democrats. Most Americans are in the center, however and we can't seem to get back to that. Biden is at least in the center. I wish the Senate and House would start working together. I hurts that we are so divided. Yes, obesity is an epidemic here. A real problem. Portions are very large in restaurants. What I and many people do is eat half of their meal and take the rest home for another day. You really get two meals in one. But those who think they can eat it all or do eat it all are probably at risk for obesity. We are always assessing ourselves and criticizing ourselves and protesting about things. So...I think we are much harsher on ourselves than any other country would be. I agree with many of the criticisms of America in this video.
Trump is way better than the British people.
Wrong. Half of America likes Trump. And at this point in time in 2024, polls are showing it's even more than that. Brits and the rest of the world don't get to vote here, so who cares what they think? They are also only spoon-fed liberal garbage by liberal sources, just like in the US. Biden is NOT in the center. He has gone down a liberal rabbit hole trying to please folks who don't even like him much. At least when Trump was president, we could afford to buy groceries and household items. But you are right about the divide between rural and urban America. Totally different values usually, so totally different politics.
Envy and jealousy are very powerful emotions .....
That music is annoying
So you watch TV and you go to the tourist places... great. No mention of how huge the gap is between rich and poor here. No mention of people working two jobs living paycheck to paycheck. Just a bunch of stereotypes about the U.S. being rich and loud. Try going where the tourists don't go, you may have a totally different experience.
Don’t spend too much so you don’t have to work two jobs.
@@moniequajohnson3094 I'm guessing you have never tried to survive on minimum wage. Oh, you can be careful, but god help you if you over have a medical emergency which puts you deeply in debt, or, god forbid your car break down, or any other emergency happens that puts you in and economic hole you will never dig out of.
@@moniequajohnson3094So…don’t go to college, don’t buy a house, don’t get insurance, don’t have children, and don’t get sick?
I been in England. I don't like England I was from USA . Y'all have everything so small . My ideal is just stay in my country . Y'all beautiful people but uk is not for me . I like Ireland more
I’m from America New Jersey you are right bro everybody is right in this video. We are so corrupt and fat and greasy.

We LOVE Donald Trump!! He’s exactly what our country needed!! God willing he will be back in 2024!!!! 🇺🇸
Now he is in jail lol
@@loma7652nope
Exactly!!
He be in office again #MAGA 2024
Cheers from Korea!Im rooting for Trump for the president again!
When I think of America? I think about Peru or brasil.
I visited Britain 1 year ago and I thinkk the people looked down thier noses at Americans a lot, but I was not impressed at all by my visit with the people and the country.
USA > UK
😂good joke
Everyone knows that Americans are big like their country. They can't lay off the fries.
😂
You are wqy wrong , stop buying into the hype .
Go to any European country and walk pass a McDonald's, you will see that it's filled with people stuffing their face!
What a stupid comment when Brits eat chips with almost everything. Lol gtfoh
@@lenasmith4895American tourists.

America? The continent? Where in America? United States? United States is not America, it is in America. Reminder... America is not a country is a continent with many countries in it. But US not just stole the land, but also the name America. America starts in Canada and ends in Patagonia Argentina... When are people going to get it? If you say US people? Use their nations name United Statesians.
you know what they mean and no one says United statesians stop being annoying 💀
@@JohnFitzgerald2008 Being indoctrinated does not exempt ignorance. None? Most people call US people as Estadounidense, translation... United Statesians. Just a matter of time. Now you heard ut, you know it, later will become a custome to call United Statsias and not Americans, dump and arrogant practice. By the way.... US not just stole the name America, but also murdered over 100 Million indigenas to steal the name too.
I find it astonishing that fully grown adults bother themselves with such semantics. This is on top of the fact that most geographic scholars agree that the there are two continents that make up “the Americas”- North America and South America.
@@jacksoncowsert6964 Conviniently and stratigicaly. Regardless wether scholars agree or not, facts are facts..
