As an Australian? At least you sent us far enough away that we couldn't find our way back, so we just said "fuck it!", let's pitch some tents and drink some beer for the next 230 years" LOL!
LJY08 The ones they sent to Canada had to survive with the French and the moose and the snow, so they said, "whelp, we might as well play Cricket on the ice, drink some beer and learn to be friggin nice to people...oh and we should learn from the Americans too...how about we ask the queen for independence instead....see how that goes, eh?" And thus, the nation of Timmies coffee, hockey and saying sorry in two languages was born :) (PS. Hello my fellow Commonwealther!)
As a Christian I found this hilarious! He’s not offensive to us who follow in truth, just mentions the psycho ones - the hypocrites . I completely understand. This man is funny!
+Charles Letang I agree. It's hyperbole like most comedy, although hyperbolic expansion needs to be based on fact to work well. This guy is a little off (factually) and too venomous to be as funny as he could be.
+Dylon Merrell His name is Greg Proops, thank you was looking for it. Had to go through the comments until I found yours. I'm....not the same man I was when I started.
+Dylon Merrell you need to listen to his podcast, The Smartest Man in The World, he's been doing it for a few years and all the episodes are available.. he rambles on for about 90 minutes each one, and he's so very funny, I've loved him for YEARS!! also look up Whose Line Is It Anyway? both the US and UK versions
As a British subject (for that is how every single British person refers to themselves) this is wonderful comedy. Satirical, straight-up no-nonsense piss-taking. Well played.
It's funny watching everyone freak out over their little tribal alliances. I'm American. I thought this was hilarious. No country or culture is above scrutiny and ridicule, so you might as well get in on the joke and laugh along!
Jacob Ford Aren't you just blaming me for what people who are from my country do? Projecting your own tribalist assumptions onto me? Am I somehow to blame for Americans who lie to themselves? Or are you personally saying I've lied to myself? And what is your basis for that?
He says we are taught lies, By reading these comments I see that the lies taught in school still stick to people's brain. Surprise! There were already people in America!! Native Americans, no we are not all dead relics in a museum. This is really funny!!
Not just Native Americans but also Mexicans who owned California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Kansas and Oklahoma. Yet self righteous Americans who didn’t learn any of that will still tell them they don’t belong here.
***** Nobody ever claimed there were no women. That's just a strawman. Obviously all societies have women, because you need two sexes to reproduce. Who is even implying that isn't the case? As for minorities, there were two groups who made contact with each other when the pilgrims arrived, and they were pilgrims and Indians. Indians weren't "minorities" in North America, and nobody is saying that the pilgrims were a majority. So, what the fuck does he even mean? Who cares, why does he have to have to be coherent to make points about history?
***** No. He was trying to make a joke. But it was hardly even a sensical statement. You make fun of things that are ridiculous, but his "joke" can't even be understood, as it has no substance. I explained this in my comment.
+EndlessVacuum I think that the US & Canada are more the abused children of English & French imperialism. (Germany was not even a country until the late 19th century, so I am not sure how they could even be a factor.) Canada -- the good mama's boy child of the two -- has problems that seem to arise from loyalty to their European parents. The United States -- the rebellious child gone bad of the two -- has problems arising from following too closely in their parent's imperialistic tradition. So, I would argue that the biggest influence on American values is the English way, and to some extent France, and to a lesser degree Spain and Portugal who had a larger effect on Central and South America.
***** On the English side, they still have the Queen as part of their culture. And they are still fighting that ancient French-English rivalry. Having lived in Quebec, I saw it.
***** I have seen anglophones give attitude to francophones too...You're both basically assholes to each other at your worst...And I think the French-English rivalry manifests in the US too with things like "French are cowards" and "Freedom-Fries" bullshit, it is just more an everyday thing in Canada. Basically, both of our countries are assholes in their own way...What surprises me about Canadians is how much they buy into the propaganda that whenever they deploy armed troops into another country that they are innocent "peace keepers" with selfless interests...You'd have to be extremely naive to believe that, or think that the people in the countries in which you deploy troops feel the same way. I am not saying that the US is better than Canada, for America is fucked up in its own ways. But I think you can make a case that both countries are the abused offspring of French and English imperialism.
***** You need to understand a few things: (1) if foreign troops with guns are walking around in your town, you would probably not like it; (2) "peacekeeping" = maintaining the political status quo, and the losers in that game re going to see you as an obstacle to fixing their problems and they are going to shoot you; (3) like all nations, Canada acts in its own interests and will not send troops overseas unless it sees some benefit from it, even if it is winning the favor of other members of an alliance or coalition; and (4) just like there is no such thing as "American exceptionalism," there is no "Canadian exceptionalism." ON another topic, I do not defend the imperialism of the US, England or France. They are all equally assholery and based on cultural elitism and greed. Perhaps you are an imperialist?
I want non-americans to keep in mind there are some of rational, openminded and educated Americans too. We aren't all fat, racist and religiously extreme. So don't let the stereotypical American give all of us a bad name in your mind. Thanks!
+Benjamin R I (a brit) am well aware of that. America has contributed to the world massively (Planes, 3D printing and the swivel chair.) We just find it funny to say things that mildly annoy Americans.
+Ithila Actually there were many countries on the allied side in, for example, the Second World War. Thank you, Canada, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, India, other Commonwealth countries..... and, erm, the USA, for saving us. I know many Americans simply cannot comprehend how anyone can dare to suggest that they are not the world's one and only saviour ("mankind's last hope" and all that bullshit), but I would simply like to remind them of the facts. Or is it just too painful for some of them to humble themselves to show respect for other nations? And then after disparaging and belittling the rest of the world they bleat: "why do they hate us so much...?" Duh!

So nice homework you've done there, but you stumbled at one vey basic point in that you don't even know what the west is. Also, a little factoid for you, America was used to refer to South America before it was ever North America, named after the explorer Amerigo Vespucci in 1507. North America and in particular what was the 13 Colonies was actually known as Columbia (after Columbus). So A for effort but F for actually understanding what the fuck you are talking about.
Jesus may not have been peace loving. He used a whip to drive people out of a temple, and overturned their tables. He said "I come not to bring peace, but a sword." He probably was left leaning economically though, with the it's easier for a camel to go through a needle than a rich man to enter heaven. Of course, it's not clear if Jesus ever existed (though he probably did), and the gospels had authors who would've had differing opinions, and may have been written fraudulently by authors long after the disciples' deaths. Whether they paint an accurate picture of Jesus is doubtful.
Everyone is so butthurt in the comments. This is comedy. Laugh and move on. GOD. And people say AMERICANS are stupid. You all are arguing over a comedy skit.
We are all on this planet together, just forget differences and get along. The USA can be a beautiful, loving, and wonderful country, it can also be very harsh, cruel, and ugly, but there again so can the U. K., You only have to look at London, Birmingham or Coventry for example. I have served in the British Forces and posted in both countries, so I have a little experience of both cultures. Thank-you for reading my rant, now let's all be friends.
He's not far off. Puritans took over the Parliamentarians after the English Civil War, went about violently dismantling the still quite popular, but to the puritans, "papist" Church of England, and after the theocratic dictator Cromwell died, drove the country into the ground. Later, the English monarchy was restored, and the C of E along with it. The puritans, who where so flustered than anyone worship differently than they do, went off to found the Massachusetts Bay Colony, to which the King went "FINE, get out of here you troublesome so-and-sos..."
Mike D +Mike D you better read the Christian Bible again, Jesus was not a pacifist. and never spoke up against the death penalty. This ignorant of Christianity and trying make Jesus a pacifist. Shows pure ignorance
Your chronology is off there a bit. Plymouth Colony: 1620. Massachusetts Bay colony founded: 1628. English Civil War: 1642-1651. Cromwell died: 1658. Restoration: 1660.
As much as I enjoy this as a Brit, it would be just as easy to argue the case that all of the pioneering, optimistic, adventurous people set sail for the colonies, leaving the grumpy soggy buggers behind.
Thom Harrison Anglo Americans, your cousins... are trying to start ww3 with Russia.......You must be proud.... An apple never falls far from the tree.......Dreams of empire never ceases....
Thom Sadly those that left were mostly dispossesed agricultural workers who had little choice. There was misery all around for those who left and those who stayed to work in factories and mills. But England did give America Wyatt Earp....who's father came from Walsall!
The dutch actually pathed up that rickety little boat after it almost sank and send them on their way. Some sources state that several of the puritans wanted to stay but we wouldn't allow that. Netherlands was considered one of the more religious liberal countries of europe at the time (housing men such as Spinoza) but the puritans were consided a bit too batshit crazy for our tastes none the less.
Why can't people take a joke, British comedians make fun off the USA so it is only natural for American comedians to make fun of Britain. As a British person myself I find this quite funny.
When American comedians mock that silly chasing the cheese down the hill near Simon Pegg's birthplace, I will call that BALLS. (bollocks). It's amazing how Jeremy Clarkson doesn't mock NASCAR now that BBC America shows UK Top Gear.
Okay,yes,I'm American..but I agree with everything...If I had to change where I'm from,I would actually be British... BUT,FUNNY THING:Think about Hetalia...xD
Seriously, being British is not all it's cracked up to be. But ne ne mama, I totally understand. if I could, I would be the whole world because of that freaking show! Boku Hetalia~ :D
...and France was a lot to do with the USA's current neo-Imperialism, but only by helping the fledgling nation establish itself in the first place. If it hadn't done the latter, there'd be none of the former. Even though they're centuries apart. Just one example. Cause-and-effect. Any questions?
Renaissance Man no considering britain took rome's place and became the most powerful empire. Even Mrs. Britannia wears a Greek helmet and Greece influenced Rome
dam I love greg he's brilliant making fun of both americans and English people, its just a good bit of fun to laugh at and not to be taken seriously at all, love it!
Leave it for both fanatics of either side to fight it out, over which is superior. Saying either side is (insert stereotype for said country), is out right idiotic. Sure both have done some pretty terrible things but they both have done some very amazing things as well. For the two countries being allies a good some make it seem otherwise, I am an American. I love the states but I know it is not perfect, I know the UK is not the best but I know it is a very astounding area with people to match it. I find it funny that both countries are known for having good senses of humor yet a simple joke making a few jabs can cause the most serious reactions. So I guess in short, lighten up guys.
I am British and have travelled all over the US I also drink with Americans from the bases and I could not agree more. As a military history buff though I am in the habit of correcting people where they make or sprout nonsence. I find the legend and the history of the Old West fascinating, to the extent that I have visited Tombstone and the Alamo
Alan Moore That's is awesome, I myself would very much like to visit around the UK one day just to see it. I have met a few brits but that was only in Afghanistan so I never really had the chance to become friends with any of their troops. Though from just a few talks I realised we are more alike than we are different.
My friend was in Afghanistan in the Royal Marines. He has now found religion, he lost a lot of good mates over there and winessed some terrible things, including the deaths of several children, probably why he turned to the church. I have never served though , I am not allowed because of my Aspergers.and Dysplaxia.
Yes many men turn to faith when they witness such things and hopefully he does get help. This is why the idea of fighting is stupid, we are allies not enemies. We should celebrate the fact working together makes us better yet so many argue like children bickering over who's dad has bigger muscles.
Finally an American who's telling the truth about history. No one in England ever faced 'religious persecution' Everyone knows it's 'some' of America whos more intollorence to other religious groups, cos I been to the states and the people I met generally were cool as fuck. England invented the magna carter which was the first doctrine of freedom. America did by n large invent 'cool' tho il give them that.
I know, glad you liked it, i suggest looking into Cyrus the Great if you get the chance, it humbled me a bit when i first found out what he got up to :)
yeah I will do thanks. its great to arm urself with facts in a debate and exchanging knowledge via the internet is a great way of building up your arsenal cos ther is a lot of arguments here about who started "freedom" . just got to divide the good from the trolls mate. :-]
HTHAMMACK1 How many times have you visited Great Britain? I'm guessing none. As for being "America's Bitch", I think we shed that title after we declined your invitation to blow up Syria.
***** Just so I'm clear, you're grateful for the continued friendship with Britain, but also wish to remind us that America could wipe it us off of the map at a moments notice? And there was me thinking that the "Special Relationship" was a myth.
***** Well, America are the world's only military superpower anyway. The thing is, China are not going to initially usurp you with tanks and missiles; they are going to do with factories and businesses. Once their economy is strong enough to support a vast defence budget, they will take over.
***** . America is still very much a world superpower. They have military bases in virtually every country on Earth worth caring about, and plenty of bases in countries that aren't worth caring about. Just about nothing happens on the world stage without America's approval.
Nathan Glover but it would be nice if you didn't drag us in wars that have nothing to do with us if we wasn't dragged into Afghan tge Falkland war would of been our last war
Jack the lad You want to talk about America dragging people into wars yet the last two world wars, America tried minding their own business until someone forced them to join ... Then people bitch about how they joined the war so late like make up your mind.
Jack the lad actually tbh as a conservative I will always say that Russia won the war I mean dont get me wrong America and Britain were heavy hitters that even with Thierry biggest ops they were normaly joint ops with each other such as D-day, there were British drivers for the Higgins boats, no matter what both country's bled, cried and died for what we have today
If I had a time machine, I would hearken back and lock the taps in every British pub to stop the warm beer from flowing...Hello Britain!

If you’re ready to stop drinking and willing to get the support you need, you can recover from alcoholism and alcohol abuse-no matter how bad the addiction or how powerless you feel. You don’t have to wait until you hit rock bottom; you can make a change at any time. Get started on the road to recovery today. Feel free to contact me as your first step out of that downward spiral. I am available on a one-to-one or group basis via Skype or through live seminars (contingency only). If you’re British, I can help you down the path to recovery. I’m here to help.
Greg Evarlenson CAS How about you go and solve the problem back in your own country - Because believe me you may not of NOTICED its a hell of alot WORSE!

We are all on this planet together, just forget differences and get along. The USA can be a beautiful, loving, and wonderful country, it can also be very harsh, cruel, and ugly, but there again so can the U. K., You only have to look at London, Birmingham or Coventry for example. I have served in the British Forces and posted in both countries, so I have a little experience of both cultures. Thank-you for reading my rant, now let's all be friends.
The guy is clearly less famous than he should be.
Because in America you can't tell the truth.
Greg Proops, he was on Whose line is it anyway
@@Ortona-43 UK and US version!!
Proops is definitely the most intelligent American comic after Carlin.
As a British person I pissed myself laughing at his weird British impression 😂😂😂
And it's so accurate
I’m American (and from the Southeast to boot), and this is hilarious
I mean, I guess it's no secret if you've ever seen him on Whose Line, but damn...Greg Proops is an excellent performer.
He's another Robin Williams - completely pathetic and not a natural entertainer, just desperate
@@RelativeBadger aw, you mad, little man?
@@RelativeBadger link your comedy special then
Speaking as an English person, I find this segment to be utterly hilarious!
Given his impression of an Englishman I have one question: when did Gregg meet Boris Johnson?
He's not far off. Puritans took over the Parliamentarians after the English Civil War, went about violently dismantling the still quite popular, but to the puritans, "papist" Church of England, and after the theocratic dictator Cromwell died, drove the country into the ground. Later, the English monarchy was restored, and the C of E along with it. The puritans, who where so flustered than anyone worship differently than they do, went off to found the Massachusetts Bay Colony, to which the King went "FINE, get out of here you troublesome so-and-sos..."
also, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say Jesus may have been against the hole, you k'now... death penalty...
Mike D
Or even the concept of organised religion.
Mike D
+Mike D you better read the Christian Bible again, Jesus was not a pacifist. and never spoke up against the death penalty. This ignorant of Christianity and trying make Jesus a pacifist. Shows pure ignorance
Fuck off, troll. The guy clearly preached pacifism ("turn the other cheek" ring a bell?) and he *was exicuted*
Your chronology is off there a bit. Plymouth Colony: 1620. Massachusetts Bay colony founded: 1628. English Civil War: 1642-1651. Cromwell died: 1658. Restoration: 1660.
What he just described in the beginning was Texas in a nutshell 😂
You sure seem to know a lot about nuts. Lamer.
+Felix Vaynberg Productions because the rest of America is so liberal? LOL
Most of it yes.
You have no idea what you're talking about, bigot.
Its a jokeee
To all of you who are posting the "serious" comments. You do realize that this probably wasn't meant to be taken completely seriously right?
dragoncatoverload tyvm I appreciate this
The "truth" is often spoken in jest.
The British also celebrate Independence Day....they call it 'Fuck Thomas Jefferson......day.'

You make us sound like idiots, just don't.

I find this guy very funny! greetings from the UK!
Hey we've been saying everything's England's fault for years.. and nobody listened to us
“It is rigorous in front of the senate”
Me in 2019: 😬
As much as I enjoy this as a Brit, it would be just as easy to argue the case that all of the pioneering, optimistic, adventurous people set sail for the colonies, leaving the grumpy soggy buggers behind.
Thom Harrison Anglo Americans, your cousins... are trying to start ww3 with Russia.......You must be proud.... An apple never falls far from the tree.......Dreams of empire never ceases....
You're a bone fide idiot.
Well at least those grumpy soggy buggers didn’t try to extinct another race so I’d say give yourself some credit.
Thom Sadly those that left were mostly dispossesed agricultural workers who had little choice. There was misery all around for those who left and those who stayed to work in factories and mills.
But England did give America Wyatt Earp....who's father came from Walsall!
jimbob jim
The Democrats are trying to start ww3....
OMDFG...that impression of the Senator grilling Jesus was HYSTERICAL!
*looks side to side*
*cough*
HETALIA
.....*backs away slowly*
We didn't have the Renaissance after the Mayflower sailed, Gregg. We had the Enlightenment. The Renaissance we had earlier, starting in Italy.
Without Cotton Mather we wouldn't have had Lowell Mather, worth it!!
The dutch actually pathed up that rickety little boat after it almost sank and send them on their way.
Some sources state that several of the puritans wanted to stay but we wouldn't allow that. Netherlands was considered one of the more religious liberal countries of europe at the time (housing men such as Spinoza) but the puritans were consided a bit too batshit crazy for our tastes none the less.
The Dutch didn't kick out the pilgrims. They left of their own accord because they didn't want their children to grow up speaking Dutch.
Sometimes I wish so badly I was anything but American...then I remember we have people like Greg.
Bill Hicks would be proud.
This bit makes me love Greg even more
America is the biggest prank England ever pulled on the world.
Gotcha!
Oh thats so funny😂
Me: **sees the thumbnail**
Me: ItS tHe GuY fRoM wHoS LiNe
I don't know which is worse, people that take pride in where they were born, or people who mock their home country for cheap laughs/approval.
He's not ENTIRELY WRONG!! ESPECIALLY with the Government NOWADAYS!😁😁😁😁😁😁
Always lovely to hear Greg Proops.
Is it just me or does he sound like Randy Newman when he's asking Jesus the questions?
Previously, the United States is the son of the British, now, Britain is the son of the United States.
+sunshine gap - it's actually the son of no one as the world speaks its language an uses its economic system - not the other way around.
+sunshine gap When sailboats come back just you wait ..England will be as powerful as it was 500 years ago
Why can't people take a joke, British comedians make fun off the USA so it is only natural for American comedians to make fun of Britain. As a British person myself I find this quite funny.
I'm from Texas and this shit is hillarious🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how the audience becomes hushed around the God bit, even though it's more hilarious than what preceded.
When American comedians mock that silly chasing the cheese down the hill near Simon Pegg's birthplace, I will call that BALLS. (bollocks). It's amazing how Jeremy Clarkson doesn't mock NASCAR now that BBC America shows UK Top Gear.
They just edit that bit out
On Netflix they edit out the scene were he mocks American football 😂
Well said. As well as Australia , and ...
Never have I been so offended by something I hundred percent agree with.
the fun moment you end up here after watching Hetalia clips XD
Okay,yes,I'm American..but I agree with everything...If I had to change where I'm from,I would actually be British...
BUT,FUNNY THING:Think about Hetalia...xD
Seriously, being British is not all it's cracked up to be.
But ne ne mama, I totally understand. if I could, I would be the whole world because of that freaking show! Boku Hetalia~ :D
**sniff** I smell Hetalians .... OH HEY BRUH >:D
I'd rather be Asgardian.
Ooooh Asgardian's good and all. but I'm more of a Jotun. The cold's more my thing ! :DD
He he, Lemme heat you up :3
The best way to look at America is a good idea that’s gotten out of hand
Al Murray - The Pub Landlord quote
I think he should be deported to Canada and have to use their social medicine.
Blame the ROMANS, they account for a hell of a lot of the British Empire's influence.
How so? The Roman empire collapsed around 400AD, and the British Empire didn't exist until 1,200 years later...
...and France was a lot to do with the USA's current neo-Imperialism, but only by helping the fledgling nation establish itself in the first place. If it hadn't done the latter, there'd be none of the former. Even though they're centuries apart. Just one example. Cause-and-effect. Any questions?
TVismyopiate The Roman Empire had absolutely fuck all to do with the British Empire.
Renaissance Man no considering britain took rome's place and became the most powerful empire. Even Mrs. Britannia wears a Greek helmet and Greece influenced Rome
TVismyopiate that's why we are as great as we are
Just a thought, take people as individuals; let them show you who they are, regardless of race or nationality.
dam I love greg he's brilliant making fun of both americans and English people, its just a good bit of fun to laugh at and not to be taken seriously at all, love it!
" They still celebrate Thanks Giving in England by the way, its called Fuck off, Puritan" Haha I love that line
Oh my good god, this is fucking hilarious.
"this guy is really not funny at all" you just don't understand his humour.
Leave it for both fanatics of either side to fight it out, over which is superior. Saying either side is (insert stereotype for said country), is out right idiotic. Sure both have done some pretty terrible things but they both have done some very amazing things as well. For the two countries being allies a good some make it seem otherwise, I am an American. I love the states but I know it is not perfect, I know the UK is not the best but I know it is a very astounding area with people to match it. I find it funny that both countries are known for having good senses of humor yet a simple joke making a few jabs can cause the most serious reactions. So I guess in short, lighten up guys.
I am British and have travelled all over the US I also drink with Americans from the bases and I could not agree more. As a military history buff though I am in the habit of correcting people where they make or sprout nonsence. I find the legend and the history of the Old West fascinating, to the extent that I have visited Tombstone and the Alamo
Alan Moore That's is awesome, I myself would very much like to visit around the UK one day just to see it. I have met a few brits but that was only in Afghanistan so I never really had the chance to become friends with any of their troops. Though from just a few talks I realised we are more alike than we are different.
My friend was in Afghanistan in the Royal Marines. He has now found religion, he lost a lot of good mates over there and winessed some terrible things, including the deaths of several children, probably why he turned to the church. I have never served though , I am not allowed because of my Aspergers.and Dysplaxia.
Yes many men turn to faith when they witness such things and hopefully he does get help. This is why the idea of fighting is stupid, we are allies not enemies. We should celebrate the fact working together makes us better yet so many argue like children bickering over who's dad has bigger muscles.
That's all true, must turn in now though
I LOVE IT! Never even thought of it like that, but it makes so much sense!!! Gotta look for more of this guys stuff, hilarious!
3:48 "Now .................... Mr Christ is it?!" hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
this gets funnier when you watch Hetalia
So true
Become One With Russia, Da? :3 sooooooo true
Finally an American who's telling the truth about history. No one in England ever faced 'religious persecution' Everyone knows it's 'some' of America whos more intollorence to other religious groups, cos I been to the states and the people I met generally were cool as fuck. England invented the magna carter which was the first doctrine of freedom. America did by n large invent 'cool' tho il give them that.
Ryang403 Magna Carta wasn't the first doctrine of freedom. Cyrus the Great wrote a charter for human rights and outlawed slavery in 530~bc persia
Really? Thanks interesting stuff man :-]
I know, glad you liked it, i suggest looking into Cyrus the Great if you get the chance, it humbled me a bit when i first found out what he got up to :)
yeah I will do thanks. its great to arm urself with facts in a debate and exchanging knowledge via the internet is a great way of building up your arsenal cos ther is a lot of arguments here about who started "freedom" . just got to divide the good from the trolls mate. :-]
but that isn't religious persecution is it? not what we were talking about n e way man.
As an English person we are sorry
Jesus! All I could hear while he was talking was:
"If ya see a big sign at the end of the road... LOVE SHACK BABY!"
New favourite yank.
1:22 is the best part, easily.
Al Murray said it best. America is like a good idea that's got out of hand. x)
I was on a roll watching the funniest videos, one after another.... then this video came on.
this guy is hilarious!!!
Funny thing is that the puritans bit was true.
I swear Greg Proops has some George Carlin in him.
'Wear a giant belt buckle with your name on it upside down so you can go "Oh shit! Thats ma name!!" '
Im definitely using that
The Puritans banned Christmas. Fucking Christmas! They had to go!
chainsawchav The native americans cut off peoples scalps! They had to go!
chainsawchav ,I do love Christmas.
The English didn't give a shit about Christmas until Charles Dickens shamed them into celebrating it again.
This yank was bloody funny! America was built from our dregs from the worst of our great nation.. The evidence speaks for it self..
LOL! Great Britain is a shithole and nothing more than America's bitch.
HTHAMMACK1 How many times have you visited Great Britain? I'm guessing none. As for being "America's Bitch", I think we shed that title after we declined your invitation to blow up Syria.
***** Just so I'm clear, you're grateful for the continued friendship with Britain, but also wish to remind us that America could wipe it us off of the map at a moments notice? And there was me thinking that the "Special Relationship" was a myth.
***** Well, America are the world's only military superpower anyway. The thing is, China are not going to initially usurp you with tanks and missiles; they are going to do with factories and businesses. Once their economy is strong enough to support a vast defence budget, they will take over.
***** . America is still very much a world superpower. They have military bases in virtually every country on Earth worth caring about, and plenty of bases in countries that aren't worth caring about. Just about nothing happens on the world stage without America's approval.
I am British and I was not offended, after all there is a video of Al Murray taking the piss out of the Americans, its called banter
Yea but England is cloudy ⛅️
That was amazing
2:45 ngl that’s fairs accurate
"Get the FUCK off the island!" 😅
Intelligent and brilliant.
UK and US Allies forever!!
Yeh even tho we argue all the time in any war or something we are united.
Nathan Glover but it would be nice if you didn't drag us in wars that have nothing to do with us if we wasn't dragged into Afghan tge Falkland war would of been our last war
Jack the lad
You want to talk about America dragging people into wars yet the last two world wars, America tried minding their own business until someone forced them to join ... Then people bitch about how they joined the war so late like make up your mind.
Hazardous 088 the only wars America joined late was both world wars and only won because of us
Jack the lad actually tbh as a conservative I will always say that Russia won the war I mean dont get me wrong America and Britain were heavy hitters that even with Thierry biggest ops they were normaly joint ops with each other such as D-day, there were British drivers for the Higgins boats, no matter what both country's bled, cried and died for what we have today
This wasn't even funny, all he did was suck up to the Brits by repeating over used stereotypes.
This is in Canada.
Thumbclicker where he is has nothing to do with how not funny it is
With a username like ‘ tennesse tex’ I can see why you wouldn’t find it funny.
Good to know America hasn’t changed a bit in 10years.
You are so spot on! I'm from the USA.
If you had a time machine. Would you:
A: Kill Hitler
B: Sink those boats
C: Other

Usuk?
I"m an Asian living in America I never heard of this guy I can understand why
Indeed. And then they say that they fought through all the war, and fought back the Germans with no mention of the British, Africans, Commonwealth, France, Russia etc... and even Canada for some Americans! A country that's right on top of them!
