German here, never heard of Männertag, we just celebrate fathersday normally
Update: It's a regional thing, done in certain pats of Germany
same here :D we do something similar (here in baden Württemberg/Schwarzwald) on the first may. but that's with men and women and we drive around in huge things called "maiwagen" . but you have to be at least sixteen :D
First time i heard of what's now become Männertag it was when I moved to Northern Germany and was confronted with the tradition of Boseln. Which is like the described Männertag, but with a Boule like ball game thrown in to justify moving around the countryside with a Bollerwagen full of beer.
From my middle aged perspective I'd say that kinda caught on and has become popular nationwide or is at least in the process of. The ball game is falling out of grace, though. It's lame anyway.
Yep, never heard of Männertag either. We usually do that thing with the Bollerwagen here in Bavaria, too but we just call it Bierathlon.
Also that's nothing for specifically fathers' day but yes, that's one of the days people tend to do that thing.
Also, please could somebody explain Jack that the two dots over the Ä aren't just there to look funny but actually mark that it's not pronounced like a plain A? Ä is spoken like the American E in, for example, help. Or at least that's closer than an A.
Where do you live? Herrentag/Männertag is widely celebrated in north (I came from Schwerin for example).
Though it also celebrated with women, it's not like it's a "no girls allowed" club.
It is almost like this isn't an actually valid video
Because you guys think guns are okay but drugs are evil. I mean come on, you're just no fun!
Dewayne C "you guys " lol you mean the diverse nation of the USA with over 325 million residents ?
Yes, that one.
So we can't refer to American belives by their laws? If the majority thought any different, they would've changed the law by now
Have you ever shot a gun before though??? it releases 1/17th the dopamine measured in an orgasm. I rest my case
+Versace loudpack
I'd suggest to you to visit Europe to learn how diverse 325 million people living together even closer than you do in your country can actually be. ;-P
That's because in America no one gets vacations from work that are long enough to party.
that's sad :(
Is there a legal amount of holidays your employer has to give you? Here in the UK they legally have to give you 5.6 weeks paid holiday (including Christmas and Easter etc..)
No, there is no paid holiday in US required by law, however 77% private employers offer paid vacation to their employees. There is no paid maternity leave too, just like in Swaziland, Lesotho and Papua New Guinea.
Micheal Jones Nope. Nothing anywhere close to that. There's so little downtime that unless you're part of the elite class of super rich people, vacations are something you used to have in grade school.
Sweden gets 5 weeks by law. My company also give me about 2 weeks extra each years, as sort of a flexible bank holiday...
For some reason, America and Cheesecake Factory seem to be very closely tied in the eyes of foreigners. Am I the only one who's lived in America my entire life and never even seen one of these places? I'm convinced it's a big joke
I've seen one or two but never been in because money
I've seen a few, but never went to them because I don't like cheese cake.
+nerdatheart94 HEY GUYS, I found the alien!!
I mean, I live in Kansas, so I've never seen anything that's not a field or pasture.
Nope we don't think the are closely tied. I lived my entire life in the Foreigns. This is the first time I see someone using this asociation. Where do you get your info about foreigners?
Those EDM festivals seem cool until you realise you'll have to listen to EDM
people ''listen'' to EDM? which part of the noise is the listen component?
So edgy. So... edgy.
In what way is that comment edgy?
Avensis Astari that's the point
Funny thing is not all of the music being played was EDM. There was some Techno in there, a little House and at the end even Hardstyle. Personally I think it's kinda lazy that Americans now call all dance music 'EDM' as there's so much more out there than happy, bouncy millenial shit. My favourites are Breakbeat, Breakcore & Gabba. ;)
You always see in American movies, college kids showing up to a house party with a 6 pack of beer. Please tell me you drink more than that.. People in England drink that before they leave the house! I'm genuinely curious
Yeah, no worries college was cases, kegs, handles of hard alcohol, etc... The ones showing up with just a 6-pack were usually freeloaders who did that just to say they brought something.
Good, I was abit worried! Haha I guess alcohol is way more expensive over here so it's buy and bring your own
It depends on who you end up partying with, so sometimes it can be bring your own, but when you can get a handle of cheap vodka for $10-15, there's really not that much of a worry.
I just had to google what a handle of vodka is.. if it was that cheap here dead bodies would line the streets.. when the government has to pay to sober up drunks in hospitals and pump their stomachs, they tax the fuck out of the booze!
Usually someone his handed as much money as the party is willing to give out to driver. That person goes to the store and buys as much of the cheapest alcohol they can and brings it out. Later everyone gives someone the rest of their money that they didn't intend to give and they go out to buy more alcohol. Then the police show up.
You guys didn't mention Songkran, the Thai new year (in April). It is basically a three day long water fight where everyone runs around with super soakers, but first they chuck baby powder on you and then you get drenched. So walk around all day caked in paste and you have to keep your phone and wallet in a ziploc bag because people drive around in pickup trucks with barrels of water in the back and huge buckets for throwing at people on the sidewalk.
Hell yeah, Songkran in Chiang Mai was dope
In Brazil we have carnival; when we binge drink until the night turns into day, for 4 consecutive days (or more; we even have warm up days before that); kiss random strangers on the street, have sex, dance; after ash wednesday we will not eat meat for 40 days leading to easter as a way to repent for all the debauchery commited during said event. [Laughs in Brazilian]
@Wahid Rashidov nah no one respects the no meat part brazilians cant live without meat
Oilsjt carnaval
Yeah we have the same thing in Germany, except now one stops to eat meat and drink haha
[Laughs in Brazilian] = aheuheuheuhehuehue heuheuheuhehuehue , I never understanded why brazilians laugh like that online! lol
(Gets shot in brazillian)
We were founded by puritans... what do you expect?
an "eurotip" reference?
Lucas Gonzalo salazar a history reference.
Not very good history, I'm afraid.
Vontos' Magic Murder Bag no, she's right. Only 3 or so of the original 12 colonies weren't Puritan. There weren't a whole lot of others, Catholics, Protestants, and Quakers didn't even compare to the Puritan population.
We got soft. The puritans back then were actually bad ass. Ever hear of the fighting quaker nathaniel greene. Our founders are turning in their graves right now
"It won't be Creepy, I promise" is always a lie.
Yeah that's exactly what my uncle said as well. :(

So.. I am German, Bavarian at that, which means I'm from the place where we made the idea of getting shitfaced on beer. And I have legitimately never heard of the idea of "Männertag". I've never heard of anyone who did it, and I wasn't aware that there are any regions where people actually do that. For all I am concerned, Father's Day here is the exact same as in the US - Mother's Day, but for our fathers.
It happens more in the north, I heard about people attending such an event in Hannover.
That's quite interesting. I'm an American who lived in Brandenburg an der Havel, Leipzig and Hamburg for several years in the past decade and it was celebrated in all three cities, but more heavily in Brandenburg and Leipzig. For non-Germans: both Brandenburg and Leipzig are north of Bavaria and were formerly part of the Soviet Union as East Germany. Hamburg is also northern but was part of the much wealthier West German nation, as Bavaria was. In my experience, traditions and holidays vary radically between the former East and West, and I think Maennertag (sorry, no umlaut on my keyboard) has much stronger roots in the East. I was 15 when I first saw it celebrated in Brandenburg and I was so confused as to why all the men in town were getting onto their bicycles with crates of beers and cycling out to the forests! For women, it was a normal work day!
Don Korb is a comic book villain business mogul name if I ever heard one.
Csongor Varady no3namesalike Ah well, might very well be that it's more of a northern / eastern tradition. Too bad, because it DOES sound kind of awesome.
Al Mat Huh, never thought of it that way, but now that you say it... it's not my real name though, sadly.
tbqhwy Bavaria isn't really Germany.
At the moment the rest of the country has a secret vote wether to kick you out or not.
Up Helly Aa is only celebrated by the Shetland islands its not a Scotland thing. The Shetland islands and Orkney islands used to belong to Norway and have close viking ties.
The US do have police that give us fines if we have fireworks
In my country they use fireworks all year long, not only for the big holidays (new year eve especially it's like a battlefield every Neighbor from a child to an elderly) but for weddings, game events, opening ceremonies et cetera.
I can use fireworks whenever I want where I live
I mean, its technically illegal where I live but like....that doesn't stop anyone
Only if they catch you-that's half the fun!
The Jewish festival of Purim is absolutely bonkers in Tel Aviv where the entire city basically turns into one enormous rave with fireworks and neon everywhere and just pure, unadulterated chaos. Meanwhile, in America the same holiday is basically a much lamer Halloween celebrated entirely in a synagogue's community hall with the worst carnival games possible scattered about.
Is Purim the holiday to celebrate Queen Esther’s bravery?
@KokoBirdSings that's right, yeah!
As a Spanish speaker, when i was in the US and was invited to a Dinner Party, I thought it was going to be a nice dinner and then the actual partying with music and dancing. I was wrong. it was just a nice meal and hanging out with friends. In my country, we only use the word party, if there's gonna be dancing.
Danny Raul Molina Wait... Dinner parties in this country are actual _dinner parties?_
Danny Raul Molina ... you will dance at the drop of a hat
That punching festival looks like Black Friday at Walmart.
idk man the boston tea party was pretty lit :) . for us.
Nice history joke friend
It was pretty cool all the taking over all the ships and stuff...
I
Yeah throw the tea in the harbor! LETS RAVE!!! YEET!!
Man, those Bolivians sure know how to party. I'd rather go to one of them fist fight "purges" than any EDM show lmao.
Stumblin' Gunnar I wish my town had a fist fight purge lololol
Good we don’t want you there anyway, you’ll probably start a fight with someone
I would rather not do anything that whole night in my humble opinion
Idk man defqon tho
Wtf bro you dont like doing mdma and doing the same dance move for 3 hours
Fuck Bottles right? Wtf?
I have at least 3 moves under my belt
Dude same! I got the Topsy Turvy Carousel, the Octopus having a seizure, and I can really rock the Macarena
Your summation is true but I like doing it anyway.
I like the mdma part :)
This dude though😂😂 He's so serious but then cussing. I'm dying.
A pretty decent spit take................ for once
Don't mind me, I'm just the braindead fuck who will watch all of them regardless if they are good or bad.
Joey Quigley well how can you tell unless you watch them?
a kindred spirit
wow... pretty decent backhanded complement
Bad day?
Germany has wacken, nuff said
Then we Europeans have got things like Hellfest Open Air, Download, Sweden Rock Festival, Bloodstock Open Air, Tuska Open Air, 1000 tons of metal, Sabaton Open Air, Sabaton Cruise, etcetc.
No the fighting celebration,I love it...would have woop those annoying girls ass without people judging,u guys don't know I'm talking about but they wont shut up...again u....wathever bye
?
NO Name Yay you should be pround sabatons the best
Yall never explained the “Why” part!!!
A friend of me has a böllerwagen that has both a stereo and a barbeque set built in. And it's use is not limited to men day.
Americans work longer hours for lower wages than the rest of the developed world and we have more police and imprisonment. We dont party bc even if you have the money to party, which statistically you probably don't, one bad snapchat photi can get you terminated Monday morning bc most states are Right to Work, ie right to fire states. That being said, these festivals are vry cool.
You're thinking of At-will employment, not Right to Work.
Please go to Hong Kong and watch them work. Then you can tell me that Americans work longer hours for lower wages (factor in cost of living). The other part of that (police and imprisonment), I won't argue with you about.
too real
Rose BPOS
Get back to me when we start putting suicide nets on every tall building ... when "death by work" becomes common in the states ... get back to me when the average American works in a sweatshop
***** To be fair, the income in any developed country is among the highest in the world. It would be interesting to see how we stack up with other developed nations. Think I might go look into that now.
How could you miss the 11th of July in Northern Ireland where across the country we take weeks of preparation to build huge structures from wooden pallets and simultaneously when the clock strikes 12 we burn them all to the ground and drink till our hearts are content. look it up they're a spectacle.
The event has been condemned for displays of sectarian or ethnic hatred, anti-social behaviour, and for the damage and pollution caused by the fires. The flag of Ireland, Irish nationalist (including republican) symbols, Catholic symbols, and effigies, are burnt on many bonfires.
Sounds like a good time. /s
***** oh it's a fantastic time
Sounds fun to me.
What's it called?
Ben Latimer
that sounds fucking amazing. catch me there next year!
Everyone knows that Mexicans party the best! Family, kids, friends, strangers, neighbors... everyone is invited, as long as you bring some bear.
That Fella tbh you are right, I'm from Spain and family parties suck ass but we have really good teen parties where we just go to the cemetery or park and get drunk af and hear music, and American party's are great with stones and weird with alcoholics because there is fun people but at times there is weird people that do creepy shit
LMAO
+carlos duarte No. They're all over the place...
+Sikov Stupidity Your name really fits you. What stupidity
That Fella
not to mention the familiar back room of an American party where instead of a healthy mix of mild exhibitionism and casual flaunting of federal narcotic laws, you are unlucky enough to witness the existential crisis of the human condition made manifest by a circle of "men" watching a donkey rape someone's daughter.
and of you think using the word rape is hyperbolic or typical SJW vomit, you really should re-evaluate your world view and look into basics of cause and effect in socioeconomic theory.
These are basically the only watchable videos on this channel now. Thank you for continuing this series.
"Every Party I'm invited To Sucks" as told by by the guy nobody likes and never gets invited to anything.
For fireworks you should have included Dashera Ravan burning, which I saw myself when i traveled to India. Its really grand.
New Years in Berlin is crazy too. When I was there people were setting fireworks off right next to themselves, in the actual street, etc. and cabs were just driving right over them. It felt like a war zone.
So many of the pyrotechnics stuff I was just sitting here thinking: WHY.
Except the one where they shoot rockets at each other's church bells. That was fucking AMAZING.
yes, I lived in Spain for five years and can confirm. It's not just that they go out later in longer, also every city Town Village and even neighborhood has its own patron saint which has its own Festival. These festivals are hella fun.
Europe also has White Night.
I'm sure you can understand why we don't have "White Night" in the United States...
Their fireworks don't have pretty colors
Look up chinese or Japanese firework festivals
Fireworks night has colours and the the burning of effigies of guy fawkes
That Greek Easter Rocket War sounds like a blast, haha.
I love it when I find an awesome youtube show and bingewatch all of it instead of sleeping because I have no self control
Of course the Germans know how to party. Look at Oktoberfest. 'nuff said.
Oh hey we have that too- except we turn your one monthlong huge party into 12 smaller monthlong parties
D Booth ... kristallnacht was a smash
Hunger of Sylar
I don't know if you think it is but I don't think, that this is funny... Not joking about Jews/Muslims/US citizens/... but to take holocaust in general - with the bit, you learn (at least in german) schools, you should understand, that this is the last thing to make fun of - and if you're historically interested, you definitely understand, that this is less fun than middle-ages witch-hunts or the racist murders f.i. in the USA.
(I'm not saying, that you shouldn't make fun f.i. about the KKK - but not take the whole fascist movement and use it as a joke (even though, you could argue fascists are a joke ^^)).
I belive this is talking about straight edge type of white america or at least a portion of em. Cant really say this is true to most. Depending on who you know or if your multi cultural like most amercans you can party like a mexican for one holiday and then like a german for another.
AgeDrain true that
I always want my own country (the Netherlands) to be mentioned in videos like these bc it makes me feel so proud of being Dutch
Tinku = a murder-free purge with booze. Tell me we don't need this in the states; I dare ya.
murica
sure we do, but that isnt what this is about. if we had one day a year to settle our differences, we'd probably have a lot less people in jail for assault, and a lot less actual fatalities from fights gone too far. when theres a group of hundreds of your townspeople there ready to drag you off if need be, its a lot easier to stop when you have to. giving us a bit more leeway to use our aggression in controlled events would more than likely decrease the uncontrolled outbursts accordingly
eh, people would bring guns and people would die, oligarchs'd probably ensure it.
The day in the video you call "Männertag" is the first of may. Officially this is "Tag der Arbeit" or literally translated, "day of work". Which is kind of ironic if you consider that this is a national holiday. In bavaria almost everybody who likes beer (who does not??) is celebrating this day. We're usually hiking with a group of 5-15 people. But unlike you said this isn't a male thing only, sometimes even whole families with kids take part, and since your allowed to drink beer legally when you're at least 116 years old, you can have a lot of fun as a student as well :)
Nope. China has the greatest fireworks. On Spring Festival it's like awar zone. It kinda looks like the scene in Fight Club where all the buildings go down. The whole city explodes as far as you can see in any direction.
I'm totally down for all of these!
Is it ok that when i saw the title i thought "ah, must be a buzzfeed video"
I just love how Americans mispronounce all German words with an "a" in it, as if it were an English word, and whenever they have to pronounce "ä" (which is basically the English "a") they somehow fuck that up and use the regular "a".. I mean. Just have Google read it out to you. It's not that hard.
this is because normally when foreign words are translated to english we have alot of variation in how and where we pronounce most of our vowels so there alot of room for interpretation
Da Wolv What is Standgebläse ?
Standing fan?
My german friend tell me im a Standgebläse ?
i google it and it said standingfan
What?
uhhhhh you know Standgebläse is a slang term we use for really short woman, its a joke on how they can blow you while standing....
translate 'blasen' to find a clue to your nickname. incidentally.. do you spit or swallow?...
well if you can reach
go easy on him xD
why is this posted as "american's suck at partying?" Why could it not be posted as "Look at these cool foreign celebrations?"
Offended?
@@1wandersmann People think they can do whatever they want to white people and treat them like their not a race and can say whatever they want, but when a white person says something then it's racist. I just had to rant because I'm tired of this shit.
@@user-hr5pt8ot9f Not to discredit your rant... but the video isn't about white people (what race do you think that the majority of Europeans are?) but about America the country.
7:51 LOL! I was at timewarp 11 when Adam Beyer played that set! I even have a bootleg-copy on my music drive, hr, nice choice!
There's a town in sud Italy when every year they do the "danza dei coltelli" (knife dance). A particular dance with daggers used as fencing styles in duels that has you to fight following the rhythm of the "pizzica" music. And you have duels everywhere (with wood dagger or hands) or you can do/see the version that allows you to legally slap people in the face.
It's magic!
so wish we had Germans fathers day here in Denmark. I mean, we are neighbors for god sake. why haven't we adapted that years ago.
You are hereby cordially invited. Bring beer, if you please. No day spend like a day spent listening to Germans on how their beer is so much better than yours.
Sounds fun. I am in :D
Tony Atzen
you can come and visit us. i am sure
a few years learning the tradition, and then you are free to adapt it :3
well, either you come over to us to take part, or you just start the tradition in denmark.
Y'know, weonly reinvented our fathers day within the last decades. You can do the same. Heck, one of the traditions it's based on to give it a nice, traditional touch is actually Frisian, which means you got any right to participate.
What I'm trying to say is... Just DO it! :-D
As someone living in Germany, it's pronounced "mennertahg".
Ok the Greek rocket one looks awesome. And the get it out of your system punch day is brilliant!
Biggest festival I've been to is Ozora in Hungary. It's not as crazy as the ones in the video, but the entire valley that the main stage is located in turns into a swamp of rain-water and sweat, with people literally rolling around in the mud 24 hours a day for like 4 or 5 days straight. We also have giant wooden statues that are lit up with trippy patterns at night, and a corn maze, where a girl literally got so lost one year, that they found her in a nearby village, still high out of her mind on MDMA, among other things. Also, the goa music is blasting from 3 or 4 different directions at all times, for a week. It's definitely an experience you'll remember for the rest of your life.
Were they using the exact same song for all of those EDM clips or does all EDM really sound that much alike?
Tom Leonard It all sounds that much alike. EDM is very technical and time consuming to make but man, it's pretty much the same shit over and over again with a flew extra flares here and there.
EDM doesn't only include the typical dance music. There's also trap and dubstep, which vary a lot, but they normally only use regular dance music for trailers and ads so they don't deter anyone who isn't into the harder stuff.
For me jazz, rock ,metal, classic, hh sounds much alike. Same shit all over again.
Because they can't afford good EDM.
The second one. It's skull crushingly tedious.
3:01 pretty sure that's an execution
Father's Day isn't the only day we run out into the forest with beer, it's just the only day we bring the beerbecue cart.
You forgot the week-long fireworks in Valencia, Spain called Fayas. It smells like gunpowder everywhere, and there are random explosions, including a nightly fireworks show that starts around 1 am. Then don't get me started on tracas which basically sound like artfully exploded canons. They also build giant elaborate paper mache and wooden structures that then they burn at the end of the week. It's awesome.
Yeah, EDM Festivals here in Europe really are *siiiick*
Apparently this dude didn't get the message that the original and biggest Ultra Music Festival happens in the US...

From a foreign perspective, it's very interesting to watch US-American's reactions if they feal like someone attacked their country/culture/...
I'm a french teenager, and every saturday in France we have Free Party to have fun !
It's an illegal party which take place in the middle of a random field, organized by an underground collective called Sound System.
Here, people listen to electronic music such as hardcore, acidcore, hardtek (etc) on a wall of sound.
There's also 90% of peoples on drugs (most popular is ecstasy, speed, ketamine, lsd...), so basically everyone can become your temporary best friend, and offer you more drugs x)
Great Contra reference, hilarious!
Cracked has literally become that guy who spent one semester abroad and now won't shut up about how his "European friends" are so much better.
We had a girl from the U.s.a. move to our international boarding school mainly for eastern euroopeans of germany. When she arrived she was an animal (and thats compared to eastern europeans) :D . She wanted to start fights and rivalries with other girls for no reason... and other shit you only see in american movies.... After a year she went back home and would write us how childish everyone around her is, and that she rather come back to the calm and reasoned ways of Europe :)
Cue Angry 'Murica In the comments. Because admitting America is ranked #28 in Maths and English is just UnAmerican.
I see more comments like "Americans are lame dumb pussies, everyone party better than them." or "america is higly prude and conservative. no news to me." than angry 'Muricans, looks like you jumped on the cracked social justice train.
"Why Americans Suck At Partying" At what point did they answer the clickbait of a title?
It's common knowledge that the folks at Cracked are now SJW pussies.
Cue angry every nationality because if you're American, you have to say you're the best, and if you're not American, you have to hate America for not being America.
I'm not saying America is the best, but foreigners sure love to hate the states in a way that always seems to suggest they'd rather be here. Not sure why, it's none too great anywhere on this piss soaked planet.
David Butt mildest case of SJWism I've ever seen then. Are you also one of the people who got angry at the new star wars film because the female protagonist made a point of not letting the male one grab her hand or rescue her? Although I still don't get what this SJW shit has to do with this video, at all.
Some of those are providing great I really like that last one and that Father's Day One
Went to the Ottery St. Mary tar barrels festival in 2015, it's part of the Guy Fawkes/Bonfire Night on Nov. 5, and it's pretty awesome. Really good food, beer, and local Devon cider. It's crazy how there's essentially no safety measures in place. The crowds aren't separated from the action at all, the guys run right down the road through the crowd and you just have to get out of the way. Great night if you have the chance to go.
Another great fire festival is Las Falles in Valencia, Spain. Checked it out back in 2012 and it was nuts. Do a Google image search for it and you'll see what I mean. It goes on for about a week with massive street parties around the huge sculptures, kids running around setting off fireworks day and night, all leading up to the final night when they burn all the sculptures down.
"Man's day"
I can hear the triggering from here.
Are you triggered nobody is triggered?
Not Crazy TRIGGERS ARE MY TRIGGER!
AS IS A LACK OF TRIGGERS!
*crickets chirping* no triggering still a year later
The triggered types don't read or watch Cracked. Post it on Huffpost or play it on NPR and BOOM!
Yes, as a born&raised European (Scandinavia) I can really say that I get SUPER disappointed whenever I party with Americans. We grew up seeing the films where American parties seem so crazy, but in reality, most Americans cannot(!) hold their liquor. They get insanely drunk before 01 and are home by two. They are literally all "wooh-girls", also the men, and they are really not ever able to handle European parties. This is experiences I've had with the American tourists I've partied with (a lot over the years). Not people who moved here. They learn after some years. But they are seriously weak. they can't handle the drinking in the streets. It's an art to know your limits. Americans know none. That's probably also why they're so fat.
It is not about resistance, it is about stopping drinking, when you reach the point of drunk enough to party and have fun, but still in control of yourself.
And then only drinking to keep at that level.
Doan08 knows what's up. They can't ever say no when offered booze even when they hit their limits. We, in my country, have a deeply rooted thing with always sharing and offering. And we know that you have to say no if you feel unwell. I, also, always see American tourists drink straight vodka even though they can't take it. We dont necessarily drink any more than them, but we drink a little at the time and always drink tons of water when feeling less good. We don't do "chasers" and all that shit. We have our drinks, and in between them we drink water. And maybe some shots along the way. My experience with Americans is tons of soda (for a terrible sugar rush), tons of beers and mixed drinks, and tons of straight vodka because they think they seem cool when they do that, when in reality, getting white-girl-drunk as a grown man/woman is pretty damn embarrassing. We sometimes sip a lil vodka, but I've never seen any other go to town on those bottles as Americans. And I've NEVER seen them be able to walk straight 30 minutes later. At 10 pm. Get a grip girl.
JaiFlame, but I do think it's fair to not like drinking. Different strokes for different folks. I never really pay when I go out tho. Only when I maybe drink some wine with a friend over dinner. Else, I always have connections. And I'm also a girl so I get tons of free stuff. Which I'm truly grateful for. I'm a shit-poor student. It's always nice to have privileges (if I can say that word without it being smeared with the newest meaning) and be lucky. The main thing is just to never leech on anyone. Never lead anyone on, just for drinks, and never take it if the person is struggling with money as you. Hehe.
We aren't allowed to drink at all, until we're allowed to do to pretty much whatever we want without supervision. Having said that, we partied from about 10 p.m. until the sun came up during my partying years. Maybe you need to hang with a better group of American partiers. :-)
Well, there was one time, early on, when we badly misjudged the alcohol level of our drinks and never made it from the pre-party to the party, but that was in the first few months of my partying years. We were quick learners.
I live in Devon and I've been to the Ottery St. Mary Tar Barrel Rolling many times. You forgot to mention that the streets are packed with people, and many of them are drunk. It's completely awesome.
Check the Sziget festival in Budapest. They turn an entire island into a multi stage music festival that lasts about a week, and many people actually live on the island in tents while constantly being drunk and going to concerts that start from 10 am till 2am every day for that week.It1s actually Europes biggest music festival.
First time I hear of Männertag and I'm from germany.
The guy who writes your titles should really learn the difference between "why" and "how".
I love that our little town of Ottery St Mary made it in here!
Got some new stuff to add to my bucket list lmao.
Ultra is a music festival in miami it's not in europe
Cubaniche well there is ultra Europe
They are all the same wherever they are.
I can testify as someone who moved to Scotland that our parties suck by comparison. If want to see something batshit and absolutely insanely fun, just go to any rock concert whatsoever in Glasgow. Those people are nuts and know how to party like nobody's business.
El Salvador looks lit!!! Throwing fire balls back and forth? Awesome sauce
EXIT Festival in Serbia is a week long and takes place in a castle overlooking a lake - music in the castle all night, DJs on the beach all day :)
What's the point of this video tho?
5:20 "Greece"? I thought this was Israel and Palestine.
In Nicaragua, there’s a tradition called “El Tope De Toros” where bulls are let loose on the streets of Granada, much like the running of the bulls in spain
Every year in Darwin, NT, Australia people drink a bunch of beer, build boats out of the empty cans, and race them in the Beer Can Regatta. Some of the boats are actually pretty elaborate.
I don't like to party... ever... So for once im glad we suck at something.
Umneriko you havent taken enough drugs thats all. Youll come around
"Bad" at partying? All you have to do is go to a gathering, have an alcoholic drink in your hand and be like "BLAAARGH!! WOOO!! PARRRTY!! WOOO!!"
louisalectube then people know you've never gotten drunk before
Wooo!! Parrrrrtyyy! Woo
you must be really great at party's.
New Zealand has a lot of drinking traditions. On your 21st it is tradition to drink a yardie, which is a yard-long glass that holds 2.4 Litres of beer, and you drink it all in one go. If you vomit you have to keep going until it is done. We also have a day called "crate day" where you have a whole day to drink 9 Litres of beer. Many people take days off of work to participate.
I grew up in a town called Casino in New South Wales Australia (but we moved on... you’ll see why). It’s 1 of our biggest beef exporters & the industry made up most of the jobs eg: farmer, butcher, stockyard auctioneer etc. Most people weren’t that lucky, the slaughterhouse was where most of my classmates were destined to work. Anyway, every year in the autumn I think (I remember being very cold & yes, that happens here) the whole town celebrated “Beef Week” witch was kicked off by going to “the sausage sizzle”. You get up pre-dawn, go to the centre of town at like 5:30-6am for a BBQ breakfast of beef sausage, steak (& indigestion). The local priest says grace before anyone could even get in line & then you had bolt your food to get to work or school (why START on a Monday?). All the stores had beef-themed window displays, even if they sold office supplies or books (cartoon cows in glasses photocopying or reading) & you got to wear an “appropriate” costume to school... No superhero capes but you could send your 5yr old to school with a meat cleaver or an honest to god whip because those fit the theme (I whipped myself in the ear)... it’s probably different now (I should hope so anyway) but at the time it was very “children of the corn”-ish.
EDM festival? When did they start making music festivals for normies?
Music festivals ARE for normies!
Were Scottish people Vikings? I thought they were the ones that wore dresses and played golf and hated the English.
Sooo, half of Europe?
If you really care to know, yes a good number of the Scottish have significant viking heritage. Prior to the reign of Alfred the Great, most of Britain, including Scotland was conquered by vikings. The throne of England even had a viking on it for a few generations.
Ethan Rummel Cool...you know 1 in 4 Asians is a direct descendant of Genghis Khan? He raped mad bitches back in the day.
I think there's a similar deal in scotland where nearly everyone is somehow descendent from a clan leader (McDonald I think). He's second to Genghis for number of decedents
You guys forgot Caribana and Cropover! Two Caribbean celebrations that are awesome! Dancing in the streets while following a band.
i took a trip to germany and ended up going to a edm fest, it was the best part of the trip, not only did it hook up with a couple women but my head was floating for the next couple days with these 2 girls back at my hotel
Can we ever do a video about what America is good at?
Sadly, no
mass shootings?
Francisco Pereira I'm not an American but that is such an ignorant thing to say. It's a country of over 325 million people and only a few school shooting occur per year it's not a big issue
mass incarceration?
Versace Loudpack
As of today, there have been roughly 300 mass shootings this year. That's a little more than "a few".
You only hear about a few overseas I'm sure, but only because the most heinous ones get publicity.
0:10 -- Americans don't still believe that, right?
Many still do, yep. Most of them are voting Trump.
Welcome to America... Where 80% of the people believe in actual ghosts, 20% believe in Darwin's evolution, and about everyone thinks all other countries are sh*t...
That's a breathtakingly arrogant way of looking at things, Sikov.
Arrogant or not that statement isn't wrong. Even if the person saying it is arrogant it's validity isn't lost. Religion is based around and stresses above all other things in practice and theory belief and faith rather than critical thinking. Which is why I've come to find it rather odd when religious people try to convince a pragmatic person of their dogma with logic and facts. Whether a person is intelligent or not religion requires they disregard their reasoning in that facet of their life as God's nature is, by his own (read: human scribes) word, beyond reasoning or logic.
Pragmatic Dissent Your comment is too long. Can you summarize it?
Ottery St Mary is amazing. I've been twice. You wander round the tiny streets drinking out of a bottle of wine, or visiting the pubs, and every so often there's a shout, and through the crowd comes a bloke (running full pelt) with a ball of fire on his back and you have to leg it out of the way. If by the end of the night you're not bruised, slightly singed or completely pissed then you have failed.
didn't expect to see barrels up here haha, he didn't mention that we also have a massive bonfire on one side of the river and a fairground sets up on the other side assuming it hasn't rained too much, just make sure you meet up with people beforehand as the phone networks just die all night
'Mericans gonna downvote, they can't handle criticism and not being called the greatest at everything.
greatest douches?
greatest narcissists?
greatest egos?
greatest bullies?
they're great at so many things!...
Yeah they got a real cognitive dissonance going on there.
I downvoted because cracked is SJW nonsense, the fact that they didn't explain why any of this crap is better than anything in america is a bonus showing how retarded they are...
somethingJohn nah that's japan, japan is a trash country america has heroes like idubbbztv
Hunger of Sylar
8:24 Idubbbz???
I have cancer.
Hahaha as a European festival lover I think it's so funny to see his reaction to Tomorrowland. It just looks like good fun to me :D
was at timewarp this year and mysteryland last year. both fantastic.
There is much more drugs at that one boring American EDM "festival" than at Europen EDM festivals. Americans consume 2.5 times as much cannabis per capita than they do in Holland. And a large percentage of the cannabis consumed in Holland is consumed by foreigners, including Americans.
So..we suck at partying because we've perfected the art to be safe and don't do barbaric things like tossing fie at anything and everything or carrying barrels of fire on our heads? Am I understanding this correctly?
No, you're not understanding this correctly. But that's okay. You gave me a really great laugh though with that part about how 'we've perfected the art to be safe and don't do barbaric things.' Seriously, that was rich! Thumbs up!
*man hammers fire work*
amazed spectator: “ala verga!” 😂👏🏽
Don't forget the craziness that surrounds چهار شنبه سوری (last Tuesday night of the year) in Iran
