As an American I feel like by now I know a thing or two about British culture. So today I am going to take a British quiz to put my knowledge to the test, and see how British I am. If you enjoyed the video feel free to leave a comment, like, or subscribe for more!
3:41 Harry is indeed William's brother. But George is his son so therefore higher up the line.
George only ascends to second in line once William becomes King. Until then, Harry is indeed second in line to the throne, and whoever wrote this quiz is wrong.
@@sebastianpolhill5061 Harry is 5th in line. The lineage does not go sideways, it goes directly down through the generations.
@@janettesinclair6279 Harry has to murder 4 other people and get away with it to become King.
@@sebastianpolhill5061 No Sebastian, you are wrong. Go to the royal website and familiarise yourself with the FACTS. Furthermore, if anything happened to William before he ascends to the throne, George would still be next in line, just that he would have to have a "regent" until he came of age. Harry is 5th, after ALL of William's children.
@@sebastianpolhill5061 Quite wrong. Harry is now 5th in line
The word "pudding" has been used in the UK since the 13th century, hundreds of years before the invention of the USA. Like much of your language, take an established word, re-invent it to mean something different, tell everyone else that they're weird. It's the American way. 😉
Redefine it, and mispronounce it.
I always laugh when people say American English vs British English. There is only ONE true English language, but there are many different ways to screw it up (and I'm not just referring to Americans. We do it too).
@@sharonmartin4036 No... there are clearly multiple variants of the English language. And it is ever-changing. Let's look at one simple case: the word "aluminium" versus "aluminum". Now I personally strongly dislike the "aluminum" variant, but there is no way that it can be argued to be "wrong".
A pudding is a dish made with starch. A dessert is a dish made with fruit. There is overlap.
@@davidbroadfoot1864 No. It's English. "No representation without taxation."
How many times has Tyler reacted to Yorkshire Puddings and he always says Americans only know sweet puddings 🙄 he’s got a mind like a sieve
He's done that many times😢.. eg he's reacted to brown eggs several months ago, yet in a recent video he acted like it,s 1st time knowing that - in another vid. Quite frustating to watch.
I can't wait for him to learn about electric kettles again.
@@howardhales6325😂😂. The shock!!!!! 😂
Sadly his complete forgetfulness suggests he is not doing this to try and learn anything but purely as an income stream. His brother seems to have a little more about him.
Does his brother have a channel?
George is William and Kates eldest child. If William were childless, the next in line would be Harry. But fortunately he and Kate have three children, so all of them are before Harry in the line of succession.
Of course (in the future) if/when George has his own children, even his two siblings would then go after any and all of his own children.
Don't expect him to ever read comments, sadly.
@@wessexdruid7598So true. Why do we watch? X
@@wessexdruid7598 I've noticed that, he never responds, never does anything, bit of a waste of time commenting tbh. I gonna unsubscribe as he never responds is a complete idiot. No wonder his subscription is so low, you have to interact with your viewers.
@@oz25 I comment to try and spread awareness.
Korget 😂
I think the Americans refer to the courgette as zucchini
😂😂😂😂
lol yes Americans call it a Zucchini. Bless him, he tried to say it correctly. Heck the only reason I know how to say it right is because I watch too much Sorted Food 😂
In England we use the French word courgette whilst in America they use the Italian word zucchini
@@steveosborne2297 Australians say zucchini. We know all the British slang, but when it comes to word choice, quite a large percentage of ours tallies with the American usage.
@davidbroadfoot Hi, you're the toast and vegemite guy. Greetings from the UK.
The crown passes down, not sideways.
Unless the current king/queen is childless, but yeah that,s rare.
@@iamsherlocked875 True but there's one very notable example - Queen Victoria's father was the 4th son of George III but, because her uncles (George IV and William IV) did not have legitimate children who survived, she was next in line.
tyler: harry's the brother so it's him
Me: did you NOT watch the lion king
I got them all right ....... fortunately there was no question about teapots and kettles
Bit of a shame really!
Suddenly I find myself singing Little Red Courgette
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I thought I was the only one... 😁
The Q about the Beckham's kids - my answer is: who cares?
Agreed. Do the Beckhams count as British culture? Surely not.
The line of succession to the British throne goes to the first born and their offspring of each monarch, so after King Charles comes William and after William come his first offspring prince George ( it will then go to George's first born when HE gets married.)
The late Queen did change the rules to succession a few years before she died allowing any first born Female children to accede to the throne, so if Charlotte had been born first she would have been next in line.
A Courgette (pronounced Courjett) is what Americans call Zucchini
The late Queen did not change the rules - the parliaments of the UK and the other realms changed the rules and the Queen gave her assent. She was of course involved in the discussion leading to the change, but she could not unilaterally change the rules as it had to be done through about 17 or 18 parliaments.
If only 39M people lived in the UK it would be a much nicer place to live
Hitler had a similar idea.
Brits all learn a little rhyme about Henry 8th’s wive that goes: divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived.
Truly the only way I remember
😂😂😂
Unfortunately, to their shame, most cannot name King Henry's wives nor the order in which they were married:
1 Katherine of Aragon
2 Anne Boleyn
3 Jane Seymour
4 Anne of Cleves
5 Catherine Howard
6 Katherine Parr
I thought for a second it was 7 because I added and extra beheaded after the second beheaded
Happy 15th anniversary of Horrible Histories
@@kn3448 I think most know that Anne Boleyn was second and she was beheaded and was the mother of Elizabeth I. She's mostly quite well known because of her ghost.
Toad in a hole looks like a toad 😂😂😂
I'm sub'd now cause that made me laugh
If he read comments he might do quite well 😢
He won't he runs several channels doing this Tyler Bucket for Canada and Tyler Walker for Norway 😐😐
@@IsaacSemple thanks for telling me I didn't realise 😐😐
15:51 It would be more like _One buck equals 100 cents._ Quid is our slang term for pound.
If Q1 really is talking about a *traditional* Full English, they've used the wrong photo. No hash browns or baked beans in a proper old-school FEB.
Got that right. True never had beans mushy peas or spuds
The hash brown is optional (and could also be a potato waffle), but baked beans have been pretty much standard for the past couple decades now.
@@diarmuidkuhle8181More than a couple of decades. I’m in my 50s and I remember seeing beans in a full brekkie in when I was a kid. Hash browns probably started to appear in the late 80s or early 90s, but you’d sometimes see something potato based even in the 70s, even if it was just some chips.
The traditional full english had fried bread instead of anything potato based.
@@Dasyuridsame - also in my 50s and have never known a full English without at least the option of baked beans going back to the early 70s at least.
I love the way he is so pleased with the multiple choice. Mind you he does struggle with the English language. I believe there are classes on CZcams to learn.
Toad in the hole is a Yorkshire pudding with a sausage in it.
Quid is slang for pound like buck is slang for dollar.
Its ok that you have not heard of a 'core get', noone has heard of a 'core get' 😂
Laverbread is seaweed
Courgette is zucchini. Brits took the French name for it while Americans used the Italian name.
Royal succession goes the eldest child of the monarch to the eldest child’s oldest child, and then their oldest child and so on. So Charles, William, then George as William’s oldest child. If something happened to William and his kids it’d then move to Harry as Charles’ then oldest surviving child.
As an atheist...am I okay to say "please God, No to _Harry_ becoming King Harry" ?!! 😊😅😂 🏴🙂🇬🇧🖖
@@brigidsingleton1596 Sure, though also as an atheist I'll reply that I don't care if Harry ever became king because it wouldn't affect me any more than whatever he's doing right now. The UK and especially the Commonwealth Realms have evolved government systems that work the same way whoever the monarch is. Which is how we all switched smoothly from a queen who'd been quietly doing the job for decades to a dude who used to talk to his plants and once told his mistress that he dreamed of being her tampon, and absolutely nothing changed apart from a face on the coins that nobody ever looks at in daily use.
I was disappointed he didn't get yorkshire puddings after how many times its come up, then recycled the old "in America pudding is a semi-solid desert in a cup" and pronounced it york-SHIRE after learning how it should be pronounced in a previous video
But why would someone change how they pronounce a word after learning other countries pronounce it differently? The man is American and should and will continue to pronounce it the American way?
He regularly hears someone naming and explaining something, then asks what it is and mispronounces it. He pays no attention to what he sees at all. I now watch him just to see him do that. And if he is the "average American" he claims to be then I fear for America.
@@secretarchivesofthevatican Weird reason for watching someone's videos IMO but you do you. The guy seems nice and genuine and thats all that really matters to me.
@@secretarchivesofthevaticanhe needs to go and see a dr a person his age should not have a 2 second memory. He repeats the same thing over and over again but asks surprised every time .
@@tezza7maybe he could try and pronoun things correctly it would show he may actually listen and learn about the country he posts numerous videos about .
our passports say ' the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Tyler is a simple American - who knew🤣
At least he's no longer average
2% above average
More accurate description than 'average'
the simple ones are the ones watching not realising he's acting
The word pudding in uk is very different and much older than in America. Many sweet and savoury things in uk can have the name pudding- Christmas pudding (a steamed fruit cake) , Yorkshire pudding (similar to pancake batter then cooked in the oven and served with a Sunday roast) , bread and butter pudding (a bread and custard cake) , black pudding (also called blood pudding or blood sausage) , suet pudding (a suet crust pastry), sponge pudding (a steamed sponge cake), steak and kidney pudding (which is pie), sticky toffee pudding ( a sticker toffee steamed sponge cake).
*Steak and kidney _pudding_ * (apart from being gross due to it contains kidneys!) is _pudding_.
Steak and kidney (ditto kidneys) _pie_ is _pie_.
Pie Pastry is not the same as pudding mix - usually including suet in savoury meals, though of course, suet is also included in mincemeat, therefore just one example of suet being used in a _sweet_ dessert as well as a _savoury_ dish!
Our foods can be as complicated / confusing as our general, specific (+slang) words...😊😅🏴😏🇬🇧❤️🖖
In America, you describe as zucchini what we call courgette. This reflects the relative influence of Italy and France on our respective cultures. (By the way, the g is soft, not hard). Laverbread is a type of Welsh seaweed.
Hi Tyler
Did you hear about the railway enthusiast who was run over by a steam locomotive?
HE WAS CHUFFED TO BITS
He won't read it or get it!
There is a flag for The City of London and it's very similar to the English flag only difference is the City of London's flag has a sword in the top left part of it.
I'm surprised to hear that apparently in the US your heir is your brother, rather than your son or daughter. In the UK that isn't the case, so William's three children come higher than William's younger brother.
Thank goodness!
Courgette =zucchini
Also, it's pronounced with a soft G.
@@carlhartwell7978it’s a French word, so the G is pronounced like in ‘edge’
It's a Corvette in the shape of a marrow.
Yorkshire pudd eaten with beef, and each is filled with gravy often. Sometimes they are much bigger ...in Yorkshire!
tyler its time to look up yorkshire puddings!!
Tyler doesn't read the comments. Ever.
He’s done multiple videos covering Yorkshire Puddings, and yet each time he continues to pronounce it wrong and acts as surprised as the last.
For the billionth time and still it won't sink in.
@@chrisperyagh He just doesn't listen.
No one cares about the Beckham question but the Yorkshire pudding question being wrong, is unforgivable, sorry!
Tyler I think you should start trying aspects of British culture. I would love to see you try and make a Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding or even Morris dancing 😂
Do not inflict Morris Dancing on anyone, even the tourists don't deserve that

Nothing wrong with Yorkshire puddings nice full English breakfast
The simple way to remember henrys wives, the song that goes devorced, beheaded, died devorced beheaded survied. thats the order he got rid of them in so total six.
Bara Lafwr / Laverbread is Welsh. It is cooked from seaweed. 🙂🏴
and is bloody delish!!!!!!
Honestly I thought you did really well.
Pudding can also mean desert here too.
The Sahara Pudding?
Pudding in the UK can be the same as yours but it could also be savoury. Possible sweet puddings could be Chocolate, Rice pudding, Sticky toffee pudding or many more.
Yes do more exciting ones as we normally get off you boring ones this was a good one
So proud of you! From a Canadian fan!
"Yorkshire" is pronounced [YAWK•sha].
Henry VIII had six wives who ended up in the right order divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived!
Henry 8:
"Divorced, beheaded, died;
Divorced, beheaded, survived."
Prince George and princess Charlotte are 2 of prince Williams children. They are currently the next 2 in line to the throne after William. Prince Harry is Williams brother and prince Andrew is one of the kings brothers.
hehe, you actually looked gutted when you got the 4th one wrong! keep up the great work mate! big love to all people :)
Tyler 8/12 is a respectable score for a non brit 75% . How the Monarchy works , once Prince William becomes King his children are next in line after him from oldest to the youngest making it Prince George as he's the oldest child . As it stands Princess Charlotte would be next in line after George , however this would change if George would go on to have children of his own . Harry would have been King if William & Kate didn't have kids .
I think you did good as myself being English would have found it hard to do. So very well done my friend
"Just an average American" gets just an average score! 😂
Williams kids are next in line
Courgette is pronounced cor-jjjjet, in America you would know it as a zucchini.
I didn’t know the shakespeak one.
I missed the Shakespeare one because I was reading through the comments (but I don't think I would've known it as am not really up on his many & varied works - I never did Shakespeare at school, in my day, 1964 - 1969, we did
'Cider With Rosie' (Laurie Lee 🏴) and
'A Kid For Two Farthings' (🤔 I don't recall that author!!) and
'A Town Like Alice' (Nevil Shute 🇦🇺)

You wouldn't (but you should do by now considering how many times you've covered this) - that's because it's PROPER bacon!
im very impressed you did a good job
The line of succession goes to the eldest child of a monarch and then their children are next in line, i.e Prince Harry is now fifth in line after his nephews and niece
The way succession goes is that William's direct descendants will take precedence over siblings. The only way that Harry would get the throne after William is if William were to pass away and have no living heirs.
😮 Please let not the 'hint' by Meghan ever happen ("it'd only take a plane crash..."!) Harry as King / Meghan as Qyeen Consort... No, please no !!
Also Toad in the hole is basically sausages finished off in a tray of Yorkshire pudding mix, and yes the US uses the word ''pudding'' as more of a single use, as we use it for the same but its more used as an alternative to the word dessert as well as things cooked a particular way, usually baked in some sort of dish and can occasionally be used for savoury and sweets, but also in the same way to Americans ''biscuits'' are basically a ''scone'' to the UK, and we use the word ''biscuit'' to describe what you call ''cookies'' we use ''cookies'' to describe ONLY your classic ''cookie'', round with choc chips ect, so to us, a cookie is a biscuit, but not all biscuits are cookies. And your ''biscuits'' in the UK are called ''scones''.
'Chuffed' can also be a used in a portmanteau word as an insult. An example might be, "are you chuffing kidding me?"
That's not a portmanteau word. A portmanteau is when 2 words are combined to make a new word like guesstimate or bromance.
I've also heard the northern phrase "tight as a gnat's chuff", putting an entirely different meaning on it...
It night well be considered back-slang. But never portmanteau.
You did well Tyler, i wouldn't have done as well as you if i had to do American culture question.
A courgette is a zucchini. Prince George is Prince William's eldest son. And London's flag is similar to the English one, but with a sword in the top left corner.
True British culture is singing Divorced, Beheaded, Died from Horrible Histories to figure out the answer to the Henry VIII question... 😅
1:47 Peas and beans on the same plate?! Are you insaaaaane?!
7:00 It IS pleased, the expression is commonly "I'm chuffed to bits"
As a Brit, I was hoping that you would reach your goal but an 8/12 isn’t too shabby!! I’m going to stop there because I don’t want to over-egg the pudding! 😂
The stuff on the toast was butter by the way.
I liked this. I’m English and got the Shakespeare wrong…Oops!
Brown sauce is my answer ,thanks so much for a good program ?
Well done 👏
I think Tylers mind would be blown if I mention Steak and Kidney pudding. And no you dont have custard on it!!
Core-Jet is how it's pronounced. It's what you would call a Zucchini.
George is William's firstborn.
Every city, many towns and even some villages have a flag in the UK.
Yorkshire is pronounced York-sher.
Yorkshire can also be pronounced york-shear as well
"My British instincts are taking over here" says an AMERICAN!! DOH!!
You did well Tyler. I'm English and didn't know the Prince George or the Beckham questions. I guessed correctly the Hamlet one.
I got the two you didn't know, right but missed the Shakespeare one due to reading through the comments - but, mea culpa, I wouldn't have known that one anyway as am not well-versed with his many and varied works... He was not on my school curricula between 1964 - 1969 !! I've only watched 'Hamlet' (Laurence Olivier),
'Romeo & Juliet'
(Leonard Whiting & Olivia Hussey) and
'Henry V' (Laurence Olivier) on television... 🏴❤️🖖
"They don't even have the last name Beckham?" 🤡😂🤣
Korgette! Brilliant! It's prononced Korshet but you can't fault him it's exactly how it's spelt! I got called in by my parents once when they were watching the TV asking me what a Gryfon was?! I was like "You idiots that's pronounced Griffon!" They are dyslexic so you have to give them their dues. 😂
William is Charles son.. George is Williams son. If George has children the first born will be monarch
"I assumed there are 100 pence in a quid". There are now but when I was a much younger lad there were 240! 12 pence to the shilling. 20 shillings to the pound. So much more sensible than these new fangled coins...
'Decimalisation Day' was in 1970 and I remember going into the sweet shop on the way to school just to get some 'new pence' in my change (giving my age away). Previously we had farthings (four to the penny/960 to the pound--although these were phased out when I was still a baby), half pennies (pronounced ha'pennies), pennies (of course), three pence pieces (thru'penny bits), six pence pieces ('tanners'), shilllings ('bobs'), two shillings ('florins') and half crowns (two shilllings and six pence so eight to the pound). There were also crowns (five shillings/four to the pound) but not in circulation in my lifetime, only issued as commemoratives and sovereigns (one pound--but worth much more as they were gold!).
Although the system may seem complicated to you youngsters, the advantage was how easily the units divided into fractions: Half a shilling = 6d (forgot to say, the abbreviation for penny was 'd' from the Latin 'denarius'), quarter (or fourth for Americans) of a shilling = 3d, third of a shilling = 4d, sixth of a shilling = 2d, two thirds = 8d, three quarters (fourths...) = 9d. Half of a pound = 10s, a quarter = 5s, three quarters = 15s, a tenth = 2s, an eighth 2/6 (read as 'two and six', 2 shillings and sixpence = half crown).
See? All so simple and it all comes back to me over 50 years later!
Yorkshire pudding (which are great with a roast) are very similar to popovers.
We have a song about king henrey viii's wifes and if they were devorced, be-headed, survived.
With the first question a Hash brown or any typenof Potato doe snot belong on a traditional Full English as that is an Americanised version. You would have both toast and friend bread which is also missing from the plate.
Please do a US citizenship test next 🙏🏻
I would recommend reacting to a video about King Henry 8th, such a fascinating life and his marital life was interesting to say the least.
Gah! Tripped up by the Shakespeare question.
Still, I am quite “chuffed” to have a 91% 😂
You 'pudding' is our 'custard'.
Im born and bred in England and you done better than me on the quiz 🤣
Yorkshire pudding is different. It is a bland base to serve as a savoury batter. The cooking utensil is a hot pan of fat either individual cups like a muffin tray, or one space like a cake tin. The fat is heated in the pan, removed from the oven and the batter is poured into the hot fat, then put bak into the oven. The cooked pastry is served with brown gravy or whichever roast gravy is available on the same plate as your usual roast dinner, roasted potatoes, carrots and peas, from what I understand. I may be wrong about the flavour of the liquid batter. Toad in the hole has a sausage in it's batter. Batter is like a liquid pancake mix.
One thing that should NOT be on that photo of a full English - hash browns. That's a purely American thing attempting to bastardize English dishes. BTW, I like hash browns but keep them away from classic British food.
Have you ever watched food tours, tourist vs local? Brit vs American. Give it a go. During the best breakfast episode, even the American began to like beans on toast 😂

Royal lines to a throne always give preference to the oldest male heir from the family line. In other words Prince William's oldest son. As Prince Harry has essentially split from the main royal branch, he and his children are not in the direct line of succession and he would have only inherited the throne had Prince William died childless.
Harry is George's uncle.
