"You could be in the middle of a rice field and they'll still somehow find a way to crucify you." Ah, yes. Japan does love their crucifixions. Just look at Evangelion and Sailor Moon.
“It just looks cool”
They kind of did that a lot during the shogunate

And Ultraman! They've crucified the heroes on children's programming.

Probably the only time
Britain and Japan are oddly similar:
-Island nation off of continent
-God-like monarchy
-Bullied neighbor divided into two (Ireland, Korea)
-Seafood
-Tea
-Warriors with honor code (knight, samurai)
-Committing atrocities in China
-Naval power
-Left side of the road
-Four main divisions (Britain has England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland; Japan has Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu)
-Sea storm saved them from foreign invaders (Armada, Mongols)
-Went war against America, lost, became America's friend
-Historic rival (France, China)
Don't forget
- exoticism (India, France, Italy, Germany, Hong Kong, Macau, America)
- Theatre (play writing, Shakespeare, Kabuki, Noh)
- literature
- obsessed with video games
- castles from 🏰 and 🏯
- adopting languages
- explorers around the world
- diaspora
- sports (Soccer, Cricket, Baseball, Tennis, Rugby, Fighting, F1)
- drinking a lot of alcohol
- likes to make fun of Americans
- zero interest in American cars
@@brayanargandonaflorentino548 a lot of these are just universal things tho
I'd like to mention that they also had an empire based around the sun (sun never set sets in the British empire, Rising Sun)
They also have their own curry
- Both became huge economic powerhouses after devastating wars
- Both have made a huge impact on pop culture (British novels, series and movies/ Japanese Manga and Anime
- Both honor individuals who are condemned as ruthless leaders/war criminals (Churchill Statue/ Yasukuni Shrine)
As someone whose ancestors were both colonised by the British and suffered the SEAsian chapter of the massacre, I felt this.
Alternative title: Conor lists outs why London is worse than the rest of the UK
yep, london is 70% non british born
@@Purwapada Honestly I think it's just London, was fair bad even back along (my parents used live there in the 80s)
@@g0oberdm417 yep, I think so too. I used to live near London, but family moved to countryside.
@@Purwapada what are you implying?
@@TruWill99 something racist I assume
I can imagine Garnt constantly saying "Sumimasen" on the Tube in London.
UK: welcome to our country
connor and grant: but we are natives, we just live aboard
UK: let the reeducation commence
@@feena9241 Connor gets points for at least being British, though.
Being celtic is as native as it gets.
Even in Scotland, where the rules are stricter, I see somebody wearing as mask on a busy high street and I assume they're about to enter a building 'because why else would they be wearing one outside?'. That's how lax it's gotten in the UK
which is insane because UK has as high numbers now as the worst time in february.
death rates are not as high though because vulnerable people all are vaccinated, but still, 40k a day is not "over".
Without a masc you can infect another person 2 meters away
To be fair, even during the most compliant lockdown, barely anyone would wear a mask outside. The government advice was wear a mask indoors and keep 2 metres away from other people.
@@livinlicious those are made up numbers

First thing I noticed getting of the plane was how everybody was a bit taller.
I legit came back from Japan and tried to put a business plan together to become a local street vending machine mogul. That’s how miserable I was without them. But I adapted back to primitive ways :(. Did buy a bidet seat though, I refuse to go THAT backwards.
Ass backwards, you might say
Meanwhile Africa can’t even get water to drink you’re spraying it heated straight up your bum
Why didn't your business take off?
Connor: "I'm a sheep"
A sheep from Wales.... the jokes tell themselves!
Huh, i also got that "Northerner terrorizes Londoners by saying hello" in my recommendations
Yeah it's a fairly old skit that always seems to pop up for everyone in the UK I guess
Can just imagine gigguk at Churchill square searching for a vending machine lol
The people asking why you're wearing a mask would be outraged if you went up to them and asked why they weren't wearing one.
Both sides get worked up over it.
The "woke" society at its finest
@@maddiesiegmund5623 when one sides idea can put your and others life at risk, it's fair to get worked up. Although I've never seen anyone coming up to a random unmasked person and force them to put a mask on
@@Ripcode2233891 It's not March 2020 anymore why are you still afraid? Much love.
@@maddiesiegmund5623 You'll know possibly eventually, hope you don't get to tho
Tbh living in Japan I never did wear a mask before the pandemic but now I'm so used to it I just feel like I'm naked in public if I don't have it on outside, not to mention it really helps with pollen season, I straight out did not have an allergy issue for 2 years now.
The taxi drivers helping with bags thing is interesting - in my experience they do tend to help with my bags, especially heavy suitcases, but honestly I think that's because I'm a short woman. Maybe they don't do the same for guys/taller people. Which is a shame, since I'm sure anyone would appreciate the offer!
I think us British are just really hard to convince to do anything new. Mask rules were routinely ignored throughout the pandemic and now masks are worn by about 25% of people. I wear mine because I want to protect myself and others, but also it's damn cold in the UK and it keeps my face warm. :P
Lol sounds like the united states 😁
It is so weird to hear someone would tell you to take off your mask. Things in Asia is the other way around.
They’re bullshitting no one would say that to you in UK really lol
@@BigPoppaDinero not bullshit, there are a lot of people like that here.
@@BigPoppaDinero This is from personal experience right?
Ive had people tell me to put on a mask to enter a huge basketball facility only to then take it off and be able to play a physical sport where you get sweat on each other. Its all stupid.
@@MyUniqueHandle. Asia is the only place where people still have to wear a mask and cannot travel while the world is going back to normal. It is always politics, not any responsibility for public health.
Connor lost his best chance to do a jojo reference
"take off your mask"
"I could... DAGA KOTOWARU!"
OK weeb

If someone told me to take off my mask I'd be scared lmao, those types of people will definitely fight you.
They wont if you stand your ground, just say no and move on.
i went to a job interview and the first thing the guy said was “oh you can take your mask off here. yeah *you’re allowed to breathe in my shop* haha”
@@Saphirakii its such an uncomfortable conversation like okay I was waiting for your permission to breathe thank you
Other way around. It's the maskers who are the nutcases with hyper-aggressive tendencies.
@@StarboyXL9 or rather anyone who tries to force you into doing something will fight you
It's like working on a bar or in hospitality and saying "Behind" all the time. Man I've been walking through shops dead ass saying "behind" at full volume while grabbing some milk 🥛
I said have a good flight once after a long shift when getting oreos, I feel ya
@@WeaponOfMyDestructio haha yes bro
Why do you say "behind" all the time if you work in a bar?
@@rywilk I'm from the UK we say it in kitchens and in the bar so if people are tossing bottles or carrying trays, knives drinks etc they know not to turn abruptly
@@cyberpunkmirai7011 Ah, I see, thanks! I was thinking it was directing people to go behind the bar or telling customers to go behind others to form a line.
My answer to "why are you wearing a mask? Take it off."
"Why do you care?"
I have the same answer but it's for people who ask me why I'm not wearing one
I’ve had that instance as well. I legit just say “why do you care?” and then ignore the person. I swear these people just want to find a reason to be “rebellious” asses bothering people like that. It’s like if someone comes up to a person who’s wearing a jacket inside a building and tell them to take it off.
@@StarboyXL9 works both ways I guess
@@TheWunder It does actually. I just make fun of people who wear masks outdoors and don't wear one ever if I can help it. I never bug somebody else about wearing a mask. They want to dress like a slave that's their business.
@@StarboyXL9
Since when has wearing a mask to protect yourself or others been a form of slavery?
You act like not wearing one is cool and an act of defiance, that kind of thought is childish. Masks have been used to protect others and self long before COVID, and it's not even compulsory anymore.
You have a choice, either you wear one or you don't. Having a choice is not slavery.
I like how in the previous episode Connor said London was "well kept" then he said it's dirty lol
Well kept compared to the rest of England but compared to Japan? 😕
@@hadders08 ^This.
Beginning to think his anecdotes about the UK are untrue
The tourist areas in central are very well kept. London in general is very dirty.
@@reval1989 the story of someone telling him to take off the mask sounds like bullshit too, I think he just over does the England hate for the show.
Just say you have COVID, tends to get people to leave you alone and not question why your wearing a mask
Basically what I learned is going from Japan to London is like that meme "Reject society, return to monke"
I’m glad that no one moans at me to take masks off, but then again I work in a hospital, so it’d be super weird if people told me to take it off
as someone who lives in texas i understand your pain of dealing with annoying pricks asking why i’m wearing a mask.
As someone also living in the southern U.S., I too feel this pain.
Little is more Western than pulling politics out of the most basic things, and we're more than happy to be the most Western pile there is
@@remen_emperor I heard a rant from an American. He complained that Europe is very "conformists". Like, people will stare at you if you wear shirts with weird pictures or striking clothings. They will notice something that is out of pattern and really try to drive out non-conformities. He then compared that to USA (especially California, where he comes from), which he said that people are more individualist and doesn't care about your personal choice or style.
As an observer, I think it is just that Americans often wishing to be viewed in certain way to fit their own ideal image, but in reality it is not necessarily true. "Yeah, America is like the least racist place on earth, because we are racist to everybody" - yeah, they wish they were. It is what used to be called a "poser" or simply pretentious.
For instance, why do anyone wear attention-grabbing attires if you don't want to be noticed?
Plus, people really make a fuss if you don't like their sports team or favourite players or support their president of choice. People in Europe or Latin America won't lie to you about whether they are this uber cool "not giving sh1t3 type of badass person", they will just tell you that they are passionate about their local sports team. Asians meanwhile are vanilla and deflated, pretty aloof like a bunch of cats in public, lacking in passion (just go to many live concerts in Asia). Anonymously, they are a bunch of hungry wolves with stronger desire to cancel anyone that is somewhat successful.
Then there is this mask business. Yeah, Americans wish that they were individualist. But they really speak their mind, which often defeats their own imaginary self of being someone who doesn't care.
Don't deal with that hear in Georgia when I wear one outside of work.
You probably don’t even know what wearing a mask does lmao
I haven't seen the video but I know it will be a banger
Garnts laugh at 0:38 seems different seems genuine
Same thing about women not shaving their armpits or legs. Some just don't see the point doing it but everyone around perceives it as a political statement
That's stupid
Dude who would see that as a political statement. At least with masks it makes sense since there was a law required people to wear it.
@@keepyourselfsafe1386 as someone who lives in the US, a lot of people would see it as a feminist statement since most women shave, which is pretty annoying cause we’re just trying to live our lives
@@keepyourselfsafe1386 Ditto to the above commenter. Talked to many Americans who perceived it as a political statement when I would explain that the female members of my family - who lived on a farm in rural Vietnam - couldn't give two shits to shave, and the men around them didn't care if they did or when they did.
What really people do that? They must have nothing better to do
"Why are you wearing a mask?"
"No one cared who I was 'til I put on the mask"
DUN DUN DUDUN DUN DADUNNN!!!!
They talking about the England x Japan experience reminded me a lot of how people from my country talk about here x england, and even america...
I relate to that shock of being spoken to lol When I went to live in the UK, literally the only people who approached me were tourists. But they were mostly asking for directions which was fine. But one time an American approached me asking about my opinion of the Tower Bridge out of the blue and I blanked out. Like, me? What? Why are you talking to me??? Is this a thing? I just stared in confusion for a while. So awkward 😂
Well small grocery stores also sell drink so I don't think entering a big market like store was a good idea
I think people interacting with you saying hello having a small chat with you is better than no talk at all
Oh don't worry, it's not a crime to greet strangers until next year ;)
as a introver, if you tell me hi in public place and i dont already know you, il pretend to be dead
Some would prefer you dont say anything at all
No its not
@@uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh careful, these maskers will call you a conspiracy theorist until the government tells them to do it at which point they'll obey without a shred of self-awareness.
Love how a random welsh bloke told him to take off his mask. Classic Wales
I have to disappoint you. It's not a Welsh thing. My boyfriend was told a few times to take off his mask on a bus. We live in Budapest, Hungary.
Even before the pandemic these blokes harassed people on the buses for no reason. The pandemic must have been Christmas for these people.
Bruh if somebody says that to me I'll say shut up and then leave
Based Wales
@@StarboyXL9 ?
Interestingly enough, I never had that experience with masks in Canada. I think everybody wears masks in public spaces here (particularly in places where people are concentrated).
Manitoba is a completely different story.
Yea in the west, everything you do somehow determines your political or social views
For anyone in a shopping center looking for a vending machine. They're ALWAYS next to the toilets for some reason
Probably for the same reason that the candy section is always right next to the cash register
Uk people are punching the air right now bruh
Fun fact!, in some banks and govern offices in Mexico City, you are not allowed to enter with hats, sunglasses and you gotta show your face (and put on your facemask after) because of the risk of theft
So in Japan and a lot of asian countries, it was easier for them to just move into wearing masks a lot because in a lot of those countries, it's considered proper etiquite when you get a cold or have hayfever or something where you are coughing and sneezing all the time to wear a mask. The justification vary depending on where you are but the general concensus is to not spread disease and to not show how ill you look (In japan also, blowing your nose is impolite so you gotta protect the drip by any means necessary)
Here in America though it I guess you could say was a huge culture shock. I used to actually wear masks when I would get sick for the same reasons as above, but now it's hard for me to actually do that because, well, the politicization of the mask debate really messed with my psychy and it now causes anxiety and panic attacks that makes it hard to wear one for long before I hyperventilate. Perhaps somewhat because it's a restriction on my freedom, but most of it was because at the height, the political fights were very oppressive and there was an overbearing sense of judgement coming from people if I didn't wear one or struggled with wearing one. So personally I was quite glad when they lifted the mask mandates.
But really it's just way too political here, where people on both side will confront others for no fucking reason and act like they're imposing on everyone else if they choose to wear one/not wear one but leave others lone.
I've experienced the taxi driver thing myself. Definitely a different feel from my experiences in the US.
Did anyone else get that same fuckin video of the London news station warning people of a northerner saying “hello”? Because I was recommended that less then a week ago and it’s pretty old.
Garnt in this clip. "STANCE!"
I dunno, I live down south where the population is way less dense in comparison to London and I would theres 50/50 split between people who still wear masks, I feel there is definitely a vast difference between places where it is political and places where it isn’t.
My experience visiting london was pleasant to me compared to me visiting manhattan every other weekend
The first thing I noticed returning to the UK, was leaving Manchester airport was all the litter all over, in Idaho, at the time, if you are spotted littering you get hit with a 10k on the spot fine. I'd lived in Idaho for a short time and except for the odd one or two people everybody else were fantastic and polite, for example me and a friend were walking passed the Boise town hall and some kids were throwing snowballs and one hit my friend in the face and the kids APOLOGISED! I mean wtf! There was no taunts or derogatory insults and laughter. The culture shock can be so jarring sometimes, especially with the Japanese suffering with Paris syndrome, which is a thing.
Correction. We don't line up in the UK, We que
Joey saying "bottle of water" is something else entirely hahaha
Japanese friends who visit the UK and jump out of the taxi and walk away leaving the back door open. 😂
In the US, most of the country is too spread out so people drive everywhere so there's not enough foot traffic to use vending machines. The inner cities were people actually walk usually have too much crime on the streets so the machines would be broken and their stuff stolen without a day of being put up. The only places you really see vending machines is inside buildings with lots of people walking around like shopping malls, hospitals, offices, etc.
I dealt with the people telling me to take off my mask by wearing an American flag mask. Anytime they told me to I would just start a patriotic rant until they leave me alone
***and then everyone clapped***
As if. The idea.

@@Ethan-wf7oi the best way to beat the cringe is to out cringe the cringe

Oh shit I forgot Garnt is from Brighton! Just moved here for Uni!
Hope I bump into him one day so I can say hi and hopefully not terrorise him :p
Holy shit that is my picture in the thumbnail!
Some people do get weirdly offended by people protecting themselves.
What is grants shirt?
3:56
I see
4:46
Oh lord.
10:16
Mama mia
The location on the map.
First thing i notice arriving in the UK from Europe...trash, trash everywhere, on the ground, on the train, on the bus, on the tube everywhere trash. I went to Brighton once and I had trash up to my ankles!! i was literally walking through a see of trash.
some things ive noticed
northern UK (north east especialy) people always apologise when they bump into you, probbly because if you dont its a coin flip of it turning into a fight
I think one of the reasons the north can be so polite and welcoming is because of this
also in relation to the mask thing, I kinda get people getting agro over wearing masks still, so many chavs around my home town in the north east just using wearing facemasks to stay anonomous and get away with all sorts of shit
south west UK the taxi drivers have significantly more expensive cars than in the north and always help you with your bags, because they dont want there car getting scratched up sometimes to a point of not letting you put in your own bags (one once got into an argument with me because I closed the boot myself and somehow just expected me to know it was a motorised boot)
That's why, when you go to Brighton, you buy something to drink at or near the station or bring something along with you. If you go into a giant mall, obviously you're going to have a fucking impossible time finding something to drink 🙄😅
like 90% of the time in scotland taxi drivers help with bags but i guess it is london hes talking about.
here in mexico we got encouraged by the president to give hugs to anyone in early stages of the pandemic, i guess since then everybody just went its way
He actually wrote notes Lmao... Spouting *facts*
Vending machines are kinda expensive no? Like in North America. I just try to find a water fountain or bring a water bottle because I'm not tryna pay for water 3 dollars for 700ml of water
You were at Churchill square and couldn't locate a drink in less than a minute? Perhaps the moral there is it's easy to get a drink when you know where to get a drink

WHY ARE YOU WEARING A MASK??
me : *being ugly, my experience.
Beautiful laugh there 8:49
should've worn a manny pacqiao mask so no one would ask you to remove it lmaooooo
As someone with a deep voice, it's more of, "they could hear me until I put on the mask"
Wait what shitty mall DOESN'T have vending machines??? Like fair enough if it's not specific stuff, but at least soda vending machines are common at malls here...
London isn't the same as england
No vending machines?
Oversized store just to get drink?
Not optimized.
Fully optimised to get you to spend money on things you didn’t want, until you saw them on your way to buy the drink
0:32 that hits different being from a country like Sweden where u also dont talk to strangers, unless u want to be crucified! XD

Lived in Japan for a year. Came back home for a month and got back to Japan wishing to take my parents out of there just so I don't have any reason to get back
I’m fairly convinced at this point that Connor has never been to the UK.
Hate that people can't mind their own damn business over here.
Interesting to me, in the netherlands everybody just wears masks idk I’ve never had people say negative things about it. Maybe if it’s inside someone’s home? Not sure but interesting to hear
Yo ga niet praten alsof hier geen wapper zijn die geen mondkapje op willen🤣 maar gelukkig zijn de meeste mensen wel normaal en doen ze een masker op
coming from an asian country it really is fascinating the way some western country view freedom and free speech
not that i think asian country are paragon of free speech, i would really do prefer that people don't get jailed cause they have an only fan account (Singapore) if anyone is asking
but what i find interesting is this sheer unrelenting steadfastness to not be inconvenienced in any way shape or form
the other one is this almost dogmatic approach toward the idea of "slippery slope" where any slightest amount of government control is seen to be spiraling towards authorianism
are they all in the UK now? including joey? how about aki?
they are all back now. Only Garnt and Connor went home. Aki and Joey stayed in Japan
1:17 I cannot stop apologising for bumping into people in England. If I didn't, I feel like I've committed a war crime.
Honestly, it's fairly different in Ireland - masks are still mandatory in shops and in public transport, and while you get the odd group who straight up ignore it on trains, compliance is still high, even though we've a higher vaccination rate than the UK.
I would snap if someone tried telling me to take off my mask. Granted, I'm generally in a position where most people aren't realistically going to be able to threaten me with violence though. It's just such shitty behaviour.
Mate Ireland is practically identical to the UK.
@@maxdavis7722 You might have noticed that my comment was 8 months ago - the situation has of course changed since then
Garnt - you need to let Connor FINISH he's spill BEFORE YOU takeover!!!!!! So bad!
I'm physically annoyed hearing this story. Like who tf comes up to you & makes it entirely about them. How entitled can you be?

Conner the classic welsh man does not only make love with sheep but also is one
You should have just started coughing when the dude asked you to take your mask off
Literally never seen anybody give somebody grief for wearing/not wearing a mask
Isn't wearing a mask more effective to protect others rather than yourself?
Unless you have an FPP2 mask or something of that calibre, yes, although it's better than nothing in terms of your own personal protection.
Which is why it was a pretty shitty idea of England to abolish masking rules when it did. Ireland's vaccination rate is dven higher, but it's pretty unlikely masks in shops or public transport will be gone until after the New Year.
No one is certain who it protects more. That is just a narrative some people have for the sole purpose of trying to guilt and bully others about something.
Technically yes, but both ways it's better than literally wearing nothing lmao
@@controlcon Didn't think Covid cared if you were nude or not...you learn something new everyday
It does nothing. Viruses aren't stopped by masks, they're too small for that. Masks are complete bogus. Merely the government flexing it's power.
