The reason Americans are so loud goes pretty deep, but I will try and make this very simple and short. Most Americans don't travel much. It's expensive. Unlike NZ and other countries where you are allowed a month off work, paid for by your government, Americans must save up money and on average, can take a week off, per year. What happens is, the typical American is isolated to the States and considers everything outside of it a "novelty", almost like a amusement park. We are also raised with the idea of America representing true "freedom". With this mentality, they don't take where they are visiting that serious and feel as if the world revolves around them, for lack of a better term. Not all of us are that way, but most are. Hope this helps!
It's not an 'ego' thing; it's a practical thing. The US is so large and diverse, one can travel within her boarders and still experience a wide variety of different cultural-environments-- and they can do so at a fraction of what it would cost to travel overseas. I mean, just consider the differences between New England, the Deep South; the Pacific Northwest, and the Southwest. Americans have all this diversity their own back yard. And they can enjoy it all without the need for huge flight times, passports, language barriers, and cultural shocks. Traveling in-country is the smarter move for anyone whose not filthy rich because vacationing overseas, as wonderful as it is... is NOT a good investment. You can spend like $4,000 in a week and really have nothing to show for it in the end but some pictures on your cellphone. Plus, most people end up doing exactly what they could have done vacationing domestically-- go out to eat, look at some nature, grab a cup of coffee, or go to a club. I think Americans prudently place a higher emphasis on adult things like saving money and growing their net-worth rather than throwing caution to the wind to have a good time now. In essence they make wiser decisions with their money.
Tipping is a perfect example of a country founded on hard conservatism and industry rights over workers rights. There are not labour laws ensuring workers are payed enough to live off and so they require tips to live. Of course, by no means is New Zealand perfect, but at least in regards to paying workers I think we have better legislation. So probably the reason tips freak us out is because they are indicative of the people who are barely being paid by their employers. That said, I've been to America recently and pretty much everyone seemed to be lovely people and maybe we're all just being scared of a different culture.
Tipping is a good thing. Here's an example. A friend of mine waits tables. She brings home (on average) almost $1,000 a week in tips. If some people who want wages raised had their way, she'd get no tips and her pay would be about $380 *before taxes*. That's not very much money. She'd probably need a 2nd job or have to quit hers to try to find one that paid much more (if it were possible for her to get a job that paid that much).
As an American, this was one of the most entertaining things I've watched, lol. Don't know if it is just my interest in the differences or your delivery. OR if the accent just makes everything more funny & just....better. Hahaha def subscribing just cause of this video here.
That was a debate? And if so what does this adjective "Presidential" mean? Is it like if someone is calling you names and interrupting all the time, do you say stop being so presidential? 😂
I've been wanting to do that since I first saw Jacinda Ardern on television, but my children won't let me emigrate. I swear she's the last sane representative left in the world. Please appreciate her, and don't let your country be wrecked by the worst type of of American corporate influence, as some countries have been.
HOWDY from Oklahoma City, that accent🤣 You're so funny! Also your hotdog is a corndog. Tipping is wierd. Water levels and toilet info, 🤓wow neat. The meat pies sound delicious. Warm eggs sounds dangerous. AND... don't attack New Zealand👍 so helpful Thank you for this🤗❤👍
If we didn’t wash the eggs right after they were laid, we too would not have too refrigerate them. They last longer not washed outside of the fridge than washed in the fridge. Fun fact for ya.
Interesting how that works. Anything you can add about trailers? I think the little ones are trailers and the larger ones are travel trailers. Not sure though
Yes it is actually a fact to keep eggs chilled because of the high protein. Bacteria like to multiply is moisture (which is obviously the inside of the egg) so we be pretty reckless leaving eggs outside of refrigerator 😂😂
I’m American and I love the kiwi words and abbreviations. Chilly Bin is one of my favorites along with breakie. I never did get used to “having a feed”. Always made me think we were going to feed the farm animals ❤️
You're hilarious love New Zealand. I'm an American don't hold it against me... LoL 😀 FYI we all don't say howdy here. I personally greet with sup or hey. Go All Blacks!!!!
To say "hi" we say "how are you?" but we don't really care and that freaks the rest of the world out. "Howdy" is very niche. The first thing you called an American trailer is more often called a camper (or an RV if it drives itself), and the one you called a New Zealand trailer is also a trailer in America (we do in fact haul/tow things like hay, animals, equipment, boats, food, etc) We do sometimes have two buttons on our public toilets.
@@ryleescott5689 it's this older movie about a sentient car lol By drive themselves, they mean the engine and wheels are attached/part of the camper. Think of a bus.
I am from America and I love your understated and wickedly witty humour. Must be a New Zealand thing. We do say "howdy" here in the southern United States. We also say, "hey". Your videos are clever and delightful. Thank you!
By chips you mean french fries right? If so, us Americans make chips out of sweet potatoes too :) They're great (but I think they're less popular than a regular potato)
True story: My Mom and I visited New Zealand a few years ago (we are from Montana) and on our first day there, we went to 2 or 3 different stores in Queenstown looking for a cooler. At every store we had to explain what it was and it seemed like no one knew what we were talking about. Finally at the last store, the clerk was like "oh, you mean a chilly bin" and we just kind of stood there like 🤷♀️ So that's been an inside joke between us now back in the States, we'll just go around calling coolers "chilly bins." Thanks for this video, I wish I had seen it before my trip.😂
American clarification on trailers: Caravan = mobile home or trailer Trailer = trailer If you live in a neighborhood of mobile homes you could call it a trailer park, but the individual units are usually referred to as mobile homes and not just “trailer/trailer home”. Also these are not to be confused with RV’s/campers. This concludes my TedTalk.
NZ to US equivalency Caravan = Camper, travel trailer, camper trailer, RV (recreational vehicle) Trailer = trailer, utility trailer, work trailer, a 5x8 trailer, etc. In the US, A trailer could refer to any of the words in both categories above if it is moved by being towed behind a vehicle, including semi-permanent mobile homes. In the US, the word caravan would usually mean a group of vehicles traveling together single file.
I’m American but lived in New Zealand for 2 years in my early 20s. This video made me miss New Zealand so much!!!! Amazing place with such a fun culture.
LOVE the soft cushions thing... and trailer is trailer for both,, kind of confusing. Also Howdy is sonly the south... Awesome funny video but still instructive. great job
Who else in new zealand feels protected by the small clouds running around the farms? Edit: Omg usually when I comment I usually get 1 or 2 likes, And I have now got like 150. Thank you so much.
Haha I'm from the U.S.A and found this hilarious! I'm surprised you didn't mention the nappy vs. Diaper thing. - I had never heard a diaper called a nappy until I watched your videos! I camping trailer and a flatbed trailer are how we differentiate trailers 🙂
LOL! We just moved to Chirstchurch like a week ago from West Virginia. I wish you had made this video a month ago, it would have cleared a lot of things up for us before we got here. :D
Omg! As an American I love hearing foreigners with much cooler accents imitate our accent. This did not disappoint. 😂 Your imitation was pretty good. Also, only Texans say Howdy. That's 1 out of 50 states. The rest of us say normal things. Hi, Hey, Hello, What's up, How's it going, How you doing? Etc
This is great! I want to show this to my class. They love learning about different countries and would love this! Is there a way I could bleep the word “dick” though?
oh Emily - that's so cute - I know you have responsibility as a teacher - and though I don't know the age of your students, I bet they already know that word - and many more far worse ones
Yep, they're showing up in Canada, too. Poop button no matter what. Next person to use that toilet might be me, and I don't want my splashback to have ANYTHING in it.
My American cousin: “your accent sounds weird” Me, a kiwi: “I don’t have an accent” My cousin: “yes you do. I’m the one that doesn’t have an accent” Me: “sorry pal but in NZ, you have an accent” (I think pukekos are evil. She thinks they are cute. This causes many arguments)
Howdy! All your videos are great, but this one had me dying. 🤣 Yeah, here in Texas we call RVs either "RV's" or travel trailers. The thing you pull stuff behind you with is a utility trailer". However, other states have different names for things - it's totally regional. We have like a million accents and every area has different words for things. I was born on the east coast and when I'd moved to the west coast it was extreme culture shock. And now I'm in Texas - the only place I've been so far that people say "howdy" and "y'all", though "y'all" is common in some other southern states. Anyway, hope that helps.

I laughed like a monster when you said that the left side driving is the right (correct) side. You just defended a whole lot British, Aussies,Kiwis from those American's who argue that theirs is the correct side. Peace from left side driving Fiji🇫🇯🇫🇯🇬🇧🇬🇧🇦🇺🇳🇿
I don’t think he intended to defend the Ausies lmao
the whole world is driving right side man .wtf r u talkin bout
South Africa drives left
India too
It is said that it's easier to do a right turn in left hand traffic, than a left turn in right hand traffic.
I lived in New Zealand for about 8 months and I have to say I loved it and the gentleman doing this video has made me laugh so many times! Thank you for this video. I hope when I return that I might be lucky enough to run into him.
Gotta do another US vs New Zealand. By the way not all Americans say howdy. Mostly Texans say howdy.
Another difference between New Zealanders and Americans: New Zealanders get the concept of a joke
No they don't. I lived in Texas for 10 years and I never once heard anyone say "Howdy".
I say HEY in USA
Well ppl from the USA stereotype everyone tho
@@geokomalo2790 hmmm, seems you're stereotyping Americans yourself......Where are you from?
love being a kiwi ..... because everything you said was true
Agreed
Nah
Yup
Yea
Soooo true haha 😂
Haha, the accent was pretty good. And if it's ever up to me, I'll vote not to attack New Zealand. 👍
How to DAD that last photo of the sheep tho XDXD
How to DAD And the donuts 😆
thank god for that, i didnt wanna get my sheep harmed XD
Thanks mate!
Thank you
The reason Americans are so loud goes pretty deep, but I will try and make this very simple and short.
Most Americans don't travel much. It's expensive. Unlike NZ and other countries where you are allowed a month off work, paid for by your government, Americans must save up money and on average, can take a week off, per year.
What happens is, the typical American is isolated to the States and considers everything outside of it a "novelty", almost like a amusement park. We are also raised with the idea of America representing true "freedom".
With this mentality, they don't take where they are visiting that serious and feel as if the world revolves around them, for lack of a better term. Not all of us are that way, but most are. Hope this helps!
Government does not pay for our holidays, where do you get that from ?
@@ngamokai I'm pretty sure they're talking about paid leave but most people only get like 1 week a year of paid leave
Wow i live in america and reading this made me realize that i act that way.
So that's the reason for being loud? 😁
It's not an 'ego' thing; it's a practical thing. The US is so large and diverse, one can travel within her boarders and still experience a wide variety of different cultural-environments-- and they can do so at a fraction of what it would cost to travel overseas. I mean, just consider the differences between New England, the Deep South; the Pacific Northwest, and the Southwest. Americans have all this diversity their own back yard. And they can enjoy it all without the need for huge flight times, passports, language barriers, and cultural shocks. Traveling in-country is the smarter move for anyone whose not filthy rich because vacationing overseas, as wonderful as it is... is NOT a good investment. You can spend like $4,000 in a week and really have nothing to show for it in the end but some pictures on your cellphone. Plus, most people end up doing exactly what they could have done vacationing domestically-- go out to eat, look at some nature, grab a cup of coffee, or go to a club. I think Americans prudently place a higher emphasis on adult things like saving money and growing their net-worth rather than throwing caution to the wind to have a good time now. In essence they make wiser decisions with their money.
""'I hope no Americans were hurt during the making of this video,,, because we only have sheeps"'""
Oh man!!! My wife needs to see this!!! She is from New Zealand!!! This is so funny... especially when it comes to tipping lol
Tipping seriously does freak us out LOL
Tipping is a perfect example of a country founded on hard conservatism and industry rights over workers rights. There are not labour laws ensuring workers are payed enough to live off and so they require tips to live. Of course, by no means is New Zealand perfect, but at least in regards to paying workers I think we have better legislation.
So probably the reason tips freak us out is because they are indicative of the people who are barely being paid by their employers.
That said, I've been to America recently and pretty much everyone seemed to be lovely people and maybe we're all just being scared of a different culture.
I'm a kiwi tea what tippy I don't get
Tipping sucks
Tipping is a good thing. Here's an example. A friend of mine waits tables. She brings home (on average) almost $1,000 a week in tips. If some people who want wages raised had their way, she'd get no tips and her pay would be about $380 *before taxes*. That's not very much money. She'd probably need a 2nd job or have to quit hers to try to find one that paid much more (if it were possible for her to get a job that paid that much).
You don't just have sheep! We Aussies have got your back!!
Back at ya Skippy . Unless we are talking Cricket .
yeah n the australian military can totally defeat the american one
Chur bro
yeah nah
@@kushal4956 lol 😆
As an American, this was one of the most entertaining things I've watched, lol. Don't know if it is just my interest in the differences or your delivery. OR if the accent just makes everything more funny & just....better. Hahaha def subscribing just cause of this video here.
He does that whole awkward thing on purpose. It works for him.
Watching the US “Presidential” debates. Can I come live in New Zealand?
That was a debate? And if so what does this adjective "Presidential" mean? Is it like if someone is calling you names and interrupting all the time, do you say stop being so presidential? 😂
I've been wanting to do that since I first saw Jacinda Ardern on television, but my children won't let me emigrate. I swear she's the last sane representative left in the world. Please appreciate her, and don't let your country be wrecked by the worst type of of American corporate influence, as some countries have been.
Yes you can come
I can't bring my weapons so...should i buy sheep...???? lmao
@@ivorybluesky Bring lots of money to spend.
HOWDY from Oklahoma City, that accent🤣 You're so funny! Also your hotdog is a corndog. Tipping is wierd. Water levels and toilet info, 🤓wow neat. The meat pies sound delicious. Warm eggs sounds dangerous. AND... don't attack New Zealand👍 so helpful Thank you for this🤗❤👍
If we didn’t wash the eggs right after they were laid, we too would not have too refrigerate them. They last longer not washed outside of the fridge than washed in the fridge. Fun fact for ya.
Interesting how that works. Anything you can add about trailers? I think the little ones are trailers and the larger ones are travel trailers. Not sure though
If it trails behind a vehicle it’s a trailer. Just different types of trailers. A car trailer, camp trailer, covered trailer.
Preston Pursley 👍 sweet
Yes it is actually a fact to keep eggs chilled because of the high protein. Bacteria like to multiply is moisture (which is obviously the inside of the egg) so we be pretty reckless leaving eggs outside of refrigerator 😂😂
"We've got sheep, yeah millions of sheep"

sheep can very mean animals, and can weight over 100kg
@@stevedudesith3546 we got Mordor and Gondor and Rohan
I’m American and I love the kiwi words and abbreviations. Chilly Bin is one of my favorites along with breakie. I never did get used to “having a feed”. Always made me think we were going to feed the farm animals ❤️
Breakie is aussie
The American flag has stars!... Oh wait... Now I'm confused.
You're hilarious love New Zealand. I'm an American don't hold it against me... LoL 😀
FYI we all don't say howdy here. I personally greet with sup or hey.
Go All Blacks!!!!
S.E. Miller what do u call our trailers
Tess McLeod we also call them trailers.
Sicc the sheep on him
You make me embarrassed to be American
You’re trailer is a trailer here also. The “trailer “ he was showing is also a trailer or a mobile home trailer
One more difference is in nz we call it a school in USA it's called a shooting range
unnecessary af lol
wth you're here
Connor bradshaw omg lol best thing ever
Underrated comment😂
Lol
Trailers are Trailers. We call those “trailers” as trailer RV’s.
Thanks!
What does 'RV' stand for? Retro-versa?
@@dianeodify it stands for recreational vehicle
@@trekk22 ok. thanks.
Moving to New Zealand from Canada for a working holiday ! This was hilarious and can’t wait to use these irl!
Nice one now we need the Kiwi and Maori Slang 101
wat ya tlking bout bro
Dave McKenna haha
"Good as Gold"
Yeah nah yeah
Shouldn't it be: Maori and European, because the Maori and European should be classed as one, if they're born in the mighty new Zealand.
To say "hi" we say "how are you?" but we don't really care and that freaks the rest of the world out. "Howdy" is very niche.
The first thing you called an American trailer is more often called a camper (or an RV if it drives itself), and the one you called a New Zealand trailer is also a trailer in America (we do in fact haul/tow things like hay, animals, equipment, boats, food, etc)
We do sometimes have two buttons on our public toilets.
Erin Robinson Wait... you have cars that drive themselves???
@@ryleescott5689 Of course we do. Haven't you ever heard of Herbie the Love Bug?
Erin Robinson Ummmm... no
@@ryleescott5689 it's this older movie about a sentient car lol
By drive themselves, they mean the engine and wheels are attached/part of the camper. Think of a bus.
@@plumeria1985 oh we might call that a campervan? They're not as common.
I am from America and I love your understated and wickedly witty humour. Must be a New Zealand thing. We do say "howdy" here in the southern United States. We also say, "hey". Your videos are clever and delightful. Thank you!
I FEEL THE THING ABOUT KIWIS BEING QUIET AND MUMBLING OH MY GOD-
Hubby is Kiwi & I'm from the states and we really got a kick out of this - Thanks for the smiles! Gosh I miss mince pies!
im a kiwi to and you for got one in usa they call a kurmara a sweet potato and make pies with it were we make chips out of them.
Chips = crisps 😉
@@rebeccarigg3002 fries
You make chups
By chips you mean french fries right? If so, us Americans make chips out of sweet potatoes too :) They're great (but I think they're less popular than a regular potato)
chips are better than pies
This is a big old "Howdy Partner" from South Texas!
Love your channel, enjoyed your Ted Talk.
I don't know why it took a pandemic for me to find your channel. This stuff is gold.
Accurate! Nailed that accent brother!

Rycon Roleplays bro*
I picked him as being from Otago since he used "wee" instead of "small".
That’s his legit accent dude😂
Did anyone notice the picture of the sheep holding a semi automatic weapon? lol too cute😂 God I love this man's channel! So refreshing
White Supremacy either way, it's a cute funny pic
Yeah the sheep over here are armed but they have to share the gun. Bit like our army.
True story: My Mom and I visited New Zealand a few years ago (we are from Montana) and on our first day there, we went to 2 or 3 different stores in Queenstown looking for a cooler. At every store we had to explain what it was and it seemed like no one knew what we were talking about. Finally at the last store, the clerk was like "oh, you mean a chilly bin" and we just kind of stood there like 🤷♀️ So that's been an inside joke between us now back in the States, we'll just go around calling coolers "chilly bins." Thanks for this video, I wish I had seen it before my trip.😂
“Howdy” 😂
If you’re from Texas I guess?! Loved the video!
yes!!!
American clarification on trailers:
Caravan = mobile home or trailer
Trailer = trailer
If you live in a neighborhood of mobile homes you could call it a trailer park, but the individual units are usually referred to as mobile homes and not just “trailer/trailer home”.
Also these are not to be confused with RV’s/campers.
This concludes my TedTalk.
Me over here in Nz
Wait, What?
Also in America caravan = RV
Yes, it's confusing, just leave it at that. lol
NZ to US equivalency
Caravan = Camper, travel trailer, camper trailer, RV (recreational vehicle)
Trailer = trailer, utility trailer, work trailer, a 5x8 trailer, etc.
In the US, A trailer could refer to any of the words in both categories above if it is moved by being towed behind a vehicle, including semi-permanent mobile homes.
In the US, the word caravan would usually mean a group of vehicles traveling together single file.
The American accent had me dying 😂😂😂 and it was pretty accurate
Until he said he was from Boston, it wasn’t very accurate tbh
@@coolkid7151 yeah nah it wasn't meant to be accurate ....
I’m American but lived in New Zealand for 2 years in my early 20s. This video made me miss New Zealand so much!!!! Amazing place with such a fun culture.
You go say "Howdy pa'dner" 🤠 up in NYC
and see what happens .. 😂 😂
he rlly hit us with that “howdy 🤠” lmaooo
I subscribed your channel because I'm afraid of the sheep military will attack me with their wool LOL
I love the humor he creates with his awkwardness.
LOVE the soft cushions thing... and trailer is trailer for both,, kind of confusing. Also Howdy is sonly the south... Awesome funny video but still instructive. great job
Who else in new zealand feels protected by the small clouds running around the farms?
Edit: Omg usually when I comment I usually get 1 or 2 likes, And I have now got like 150. Thank you so much.
hell yea
Haha
Definitely

Our trailer is the same as your trailer. We tow stuff. We don't call your caravan a trailer, we call it a camper, for camping. 😀
gretchen ortner Ummm we call the mobile home thingys/RV... camper vans or campers
Travel trailer is the US name for the NZ caravan (many call them simply trailer for short); RV is the one that's a mobile home
gretchen ortner so, out of curiosity... why is it called a trailer park? 🤔
I'm from Wisconsin. I have heard of trailer parks and trailers and stuff. But mainly we call them campers.
So whats an american trailer? Can you not camp in it?
Haha I'm from the U.S.A and found this hilarious!
I'm surprised you didn't mention the nappy vs. Diaper thing. - I had never heard a diaper called a nappy until I watched your videos!
I camping trailer and a flatbed trailer are how we differentiate trailers 🙂
Fascinating comparison....shouting out from Mobile, Alabama!
Who else here lives in New Zealand? And btw the Manu one is great
Kurtster2 Roblox me!
I do
I’m from america
LOL! We just moved to Chirstchurch like a week ago from West Virginia. I wish you had made this video a month ago, it would have cleared a lot of things up for us before we got here. :D

Welcome to nz!
Welcome :)
Country roads
Talk about an improvement in quality of life!
when you said "howdy" i had to pause the video. Im lauhghing so hard im crying
Omg! As an American I love hearing foreigners with much cooler accents imitate our accent. This did not disappoint. 😂 Your imitation was pretty good.
Also, only Texans say Howdy. That's 1 out of 50 states. The rest of us say normal things. Hi, Hey, Hello, What's up, How's it going, How you doing? Etc
This is great! I want to show this to my class. They love learning about different countries and would love this! Is there a way I could bleep the word “dick” though?
Hahaha sounds good! 😂😂😂
Mute it
Reminds of me of when the teachers tried covering up the naughty bits in videos by putting a piece of paper in front of the projector screen...
oh Emily - that's so cute - I know you have responsibility as a teacher - and though I don't know the age of your students, I bet they already know that word - and many more far worse ones
You could Download it and edit it, or just time a push of the mute button.
This is straight savage to America. Great video, Christchurch here.
Same
SAME
Boise, Idaho here. Not too savage...pretty true. Except the "howdy" thing.
I am also from Boise Idaho! Except I do say howdy. :)
Dude everytime he changed the accent I couldn’t not laugh 😂😂
This takes the cake of his videos so far!!!
I am officially going to refer to my Cooler and my Playmate as Chilly Bins starting now!
We're starting to get the two button toilets here in America. We all press poo. Every time.
EddyGurge yea I’ve lived in straya my whole life and never press the pee button :p
christopher lee I never press the poop button
You don't flush at all. Admit it!
Yep, they're showing up in Canada, too. Poop button no matter what. Next person to use that toilet might be me, and I don't want my splashback to have ANYTHING in it.
Same here in nz. A lot of us don't even know what the pee button is.
Mate I just found your channel and you’re really fun to watch, I love it, greetings from Egypt!
As an Aussie looking to teach my Yankee friend about New Zealand accents... this was spot on. Thank you!
My American cousin: “your accent sounds weird”
Me, a kiwi: “I don’t have an accent”
My cousin: “yes you do. I’m the one that doesn’t have an accent”
Me: “sorry pal but in NZ, you have an accent”

me thinking: thong bruh
Howdy! All your videos are great, but this one had me dying. 🤣 Yeah, here in Texas we call RVs either "RV's" or travel trailers. The thing you pull stuff behind you with is a utility trailer". However, other states have different names for things - it's totally regional. We have like a million accents and every area has different words for things. I was born on the east coast and when I'd moved to the west coast it was extreme culture shock. And now I'm in Texas - the only place I've been so far that people say "howdy" and "y'all", though "y'all" is common in some other southern states. Anyway, hope that helps.
