American Reacts to British Highschoolers Reacting to Bri'ish Memes 

Hi Joel, I'm proud of you, you recoiled in horror at the way that USA girl made her tea. You are becoming more Brit by the day. Well done.

"Innit" is basically an abbreviated form of "isn't it?" in (rhetorical) question form, innit?

That clip of making British Tea causing psychosomatic pain in ItsJps is what we love to see lmao

Aitch is correct though, ‘haitch’ is not how it’s meant to be pronounced, but language evolves

The lady making tea 🤮 she should not be allowed near tea. Definitely not British tea, i don't know what it was but it wasn't British tea. 😂☕

There are many regional dialects in the UK not everyone pronounces words this way.

my problem jps is that I have seen the 'gravy' you guys have, it is a white meat sauce with stuff. My idea of gravy is a savoury meat juices sauce that is nice and brown. Just saying lol

Americans omit the letter T from words and replace it with a D. Budder,ledder, fadder wader.Butter,Letter,Fatter,Water.etc.

How can any household live without an electric kettle?? 3 minutes to boil a couple of pints of water for various uses is super ace.

holy crap, never been this early to one of your videos.I like how Americans would probably be offended by this, and the British are just like 'yeah, that one's fair"

I have to say the kettle thing was the thing that most surprised, and shocked me when I discovered that about the US. It never occurred to me that you could have a kitchen without one.

As my mother always said "There's no aitch in aitch"! For biscuits and gravy, substitute the word biscuits for dumplings! My biggest peeve about youngsters language these days, is the widespread use of "Can I get?" If asking a waitress or bartender, "Can I get a coffee?" well - you wont need serving, plus the fact that you're not allowed behind the bar to serve yourself..... "May I have?" is so much more polite and grammatically correct. Please adhere

When the sound "F" is used instead of "Th" is typical of Londoners and some areas of the South East.Here is a typical sentence for you to practise with, "Forty Farsand Fevers on a Frushes Froat.

Make sure when you visit the UK that the railway companies are not on strike as they are at the moment.

I ADORE ‘JOLLY’ and I really loved this video! It was such fun!

It's 23c, I'm melting lads. I'm Going to need at least two raspberry magnums to make it through till dinner time.

Joel when you eventually get to the UK you'll find there are over 200 accents and dialects in the UK as a whole. Our accents and dialects change from town to town and can effectively change every 20 miles or so..to understand some accents can be very hard and takes a lot of listening too to actually understand what people are saying. The accents mainly on the video you showed are from London and Essex or Kent this accent is called Estuary English because of the way words are said around the Thames Estuary. I myself talk Estuary English. It's a accent based loosely on Cockney or East London with subtle changes to it..to actually realise the difference here with accents listen to some accent videos..try Yam Yam accent (Black Country accent) Brummie Accent Estuary English accent West country accent Geordie accent Scouse accent to name just a few of the accents that are so different that they sound like completely different countries all the accents I've mentioned are all from England then of course you have the various accents from Scotland two of which are Edinburgh and Glasgow accents then we have the Welsh accents and then of course the differing accents in Ireland too Northern Irish is completely different to the ROI accent you really have to check these accents out to find out just how different we all speak in the UK.

It’s a shame the Americans can’t laugh at themselves like this lol

Hi Joel. I worked with a young agency lad from the "rougher" suburbs of of London today who spoke in typical council estate youth culture accent with all the mannerisms. Even though we were both from London I found his talk amusing. Council estate talk is basically a bit like ghetto talk

That tea making was so painful to watch ! Joel find those people and show them how to make tea properly please😁

Hey Joel. How to speak cockerny. Try these: "corta panda", "alma chizzit", "janarta meen" 🇺🇸🇬🇧💜😀🖖

I remember commenting about Americans not having Electric Kettles and I kid you not, there was a civil war in the comments. My conclusion is that it’s available but it’s not the same cultural artefact as it is in the UK.

More ‘London = England’. Ludicrous, but another funny vid. Keep em coming. 😊

That tea...ugh! Only loose leaf tea, a teapot and a strainer used in my house. Great video again.

And I love Jolly, and despite not being religious, the pastor is an unreal guy. You should watch him trying to catch a squirrel in his house, it’s hilarious

Jolly is an awesome channel you need to watch the episodes with rev Chris and his twin brother Charles they are really funny

As a brit I loved this, but that lad with a full grown heard looks about 35 bless him lol 😀

Well done to the lad that said 'pinch of salt' correctly. (6.30 mins) The internet often gets that mixed up with 'grain of truth'. Eg, 'grain of salt'. 🙂

There has been a big shift in the last 30 years in the UK population where the Th sound has been dropped in favour of a fh sound. It's technically a lisp, where the sound is produced by pulling the top teeth back against the top bottom lip, instead of the tongue flicking off the back of the upper teeth. The result is words like Think become Fink, Three becomes Free, Though becomes Frow etc. Now, it's actively used as a dialog with London youth using it as a main staple of their 'road man' speak, but the pronunciation is prevalent amongst most of the UK now that received pronunciation is not taught at all in school, and many schools don't even use phonetics when learning the alphabet.

American beans are so different it's all barbecue, which is OK but nothing like a proper tin of heinz beans in tomato sauce.

No electric kettles - because the mains voltage is 110 Volts which needs a very high current - 30 amperes. UK has 240V so can have a 3 Kilowatt heater element for our kettles. Init is, of course "isn't it".

First of all, Aitch v. Haitch, I will never forget driving my daughter back from school while she was in Reception (she was 4), and we were singing the Alphabet Song, she sang “Haitch” and I sang “Aitch”. “Daddy, Mrs. Hayes (the teacher) says it’s “Haitch”!” This lead to a discussion about regional accents, the fact that I’m a (comparatively) posh Southerner but we live in Manchester, so both pronunciations are correct! Second, the Toast Sandwich exists, and the recipe appeared in a recipe and housekeeping book in the 19th century!

14 seconds is a record I hold now for tapping on the notification. This channel brings me joy so thanks. Also, hoping you’ve done most of your prep.

s hilarious that it misses the entire northern england maybe there are no memes for that.... lol. weather can vary a lot over here, as an aside when you visit you may need to keep an eye out for public transport strikes when planning journeys. Also you may want to look if there are festivals and free park events going on during your visit, there are a lot at this time of year, if you want to catch live music

Anyone over 25 would never say “init”. You’d just get laughed at.

Ahh class the British high schoolers, You should check out more of them on the JOLLY and the Korean Englishmen channels, Josh and Olly are also brilliant and funny to watch. 👍👍

Out of Context ItsJps: “I love all my highschoolers.”

Yes Joel, I loved this video, so funny and entertaining. You wait until you hear our Westcountry accent, it's definitely different. I have to say tho, when people use the 'f' sound for the 'th', that really winds me up and also putting the 'H' in front of the letter 'aitch', that's another no no for me. Back in the day when I was a young person, we would be given elocution lessons on how to speak correctly, which sadly is now a thing of the past, but hey, times change and we have to move along with them. Joel, keep doing what you're doing mate. Lyd x

Loved your expression When she made the tea 🤣. I remember your 1st cuppa and you getting the frying pan out for the beans too.

Hi Joel,another great video (very funny 😄) x again thank you

Woop! Love Josh and Olly

I like the Jolly videos too! Have you seen their Korean Englishman videos when they lived in Korea? There's a good one when they go to a water park.

Nice vid! I'd guess these guys are 'sixth-formers' (17-18 years olds in their last year in school before uni or leaving education) from the London or South East of the UK. Seem like a happy bunch, quite bright, imaginative and communicative. When I see lads like these I've got no fears for the future of the UK.

I smiled all the way through this So love your videos

Loved this, that was fun!

I think it’s really nice and so interesting to see people like u react to other cultures and how they speak its fascinating ! Impressed !!

Brew tea in cup with hot water only. discard bag , add milk and sugar. sorted

The irony is us brits love tea but never pronounce the letter T

That cuppa being made should carry a penalty 😳 🤣

It's been 25 degrees plus this past week Joel! It was 30 degrees at the weekend and we were sweating our tits off! Hahaa hopefully it'll be as nice when you're here :)

If someone in Britain was seen trying to make tea like that, the police would be called.

The way that woman made the tea, made me recoil in horror, wow.😮

I concur with the horror of biscuits with gravy. You put a custard cream with gravy. You throwing up.

Her Majesty's accent was lovely, Princess's Diana's also.

The biscuits are your cookies. Your Biscuits or our scones.

Hello Joel....Yes as the commenters are saying the accents differ in a short space of travelling, There is a saying in the Midlands that if the sky's are dark in the distance we say (It's Black over Bill's Mother's) I spend a lot of my Holidays (Vacation) in Scotland & depending on who you speak to sometimes the accent is strong & have to listen carefully what they are saying

The thing about biscuits is your biscuits are more like our scones, our biscuits are your cookies. So of course we wouldn't have them with any sort of gravy. A cup of tea or coffee, yes. Innit was originally short for Isn't it? But now is used without any specific meaning,. It's just become something to add to the end of a sentence. And those awful words are mostly heard in the south, south east. In the north we have other accents. But yes a lot of people do say Chewsday for Tuesday for instance. It's just laziness. Wo'ah for water, yeah. Dropping T;s all over the place. :)

2020 was the best summer we had in 20yrs, but don’t get to excited we don’t get that to often and even we couldn’t enjoy it in 2020

That lady making a cuppa tea just committed a crime against humanity!

Petition to see the JOLLY x ITSJPS COLLAB where they react to memes while eating Cadbury’s Dairy Milk. It could be a ‘Try Not to Laugh’ Challenge where you eat a piece of chocolate every time you laugh.

Hi Joel, you might be interested in a very special Briton. Look up Fred Dibnah, Steeplejack, 1979, quite an eye opener. He's no longer with us sadly but he was an amazing man.

Just came across your channel, loving your content. I’m in North East England and there’s so much you can cover about our area. The slang terms alone are insane, the culture is such a shock compared to the south, as is some of the history.

Armand de Lambilly is so proper. hahaha "I wouldn't have gravy full stop"

All up for more of this stuff. Also, so glad you’re going to get to the UK. Please visit Brighton or Manchester if you can, they’re awesome places with quite unique vibes, both easy to get to on direct trains from London.

Well I’m in Wrexham in north wales and it’s 27 degrees and humid but that could change tomorrow 🤣great vid it made me laugh out loud👍

Another good vlog 👍

We say “bottle of water” America’s say “water bottle” if you say water bottle in uk you’ll probably get a empty water bottle

I don't know much about Jolly channel but that video is class. I hope they do more videos like it. Also can confirm its roasting in the UK right now.

I’ve had Fish and Chips and it didn’t need spices. Although I must say that a bit of Lemon and Piri Piri Spice.

"In'it" bugs the hell out of parents that like their children to speak respectfully

that women making tea is a declaration of war.

These are London pronunciations, so not applicable to the rest of the UK. Every town and village has a different accent so there is huge variation. Personally I have a common RP accent. RP is 'Received Pronunciation' and is the accent used by many classically trained British actors and is considerd 'posh'. Common RP is a bit more toned down and is considered 'educated'. The sunburn thing is correct though. I have very fair skin and burn worse than a red-headed vampire. I burn after about 15 mins in the sun and go bright red before returning to almost the same shade of white. I've never had a proper tan in my life. The nearest I get is getting rid of the blue tinge to my skin!😄

Ha ha! We do have the occasional hot day in summer!

Love Jolly and KoreanEnglishman and this was a great video to see your reaction to

Hiya Joel,We have a West Cumbrian accent its called Marra, Marra is a slang word for friend,this is Choppy in Whitehaven, Cumbria, England

Nah that tea making almost made my eyes pop out. Regarding the weather, the past week it's hit upto 87f, probably good enough weather for you. Over the next week it's about 70s, comfortable enough for walking around.

Hasn't anyone ever heard of Toasties? Popular as a meal, you can also buy Toastie makers. Cheese and ham toasties are delicious.

Joel, where I live in East Lancashire a lot of us don't say 'innit' - locals here tend to use the term 'intit'. Those are obvious corruptions of the words " isn't it ", innit or intit? 👍😁👍 On an even funnier note I call people from London 'inchas' because of their way of saying that word instead of the words " aren't you ". They also pronounce their r's as w's in that part of the U.K. - if you watch Eastenders you'll see what I mean....instead of saying girl they say giwl. My translation of the phrase from that particular television programme of " You're a proper slag, incha, giwl? " is " You're a proper tart, aren't you, girl? " 👍🤣👍 P.S. You'd be completely wasting your time and money if you tried to obtain either a phrasebook or hope that these regional dialects are available on Google Translate prior to travelling to the U.K. ✌😎✌

Id love to take you to the pub just so you could really learn what we're like🤣🤣

" INNIT" means " isn't it " !!

I loved that. Very funny

This was cool... I love the reaction, within the reaction. It was even more fun seeing actual British people struggling with the phonetic spelling.

I noticed that in Heartstopper, Maths 😂

its actually LONDON kids speak like that, they are 10% of the population

"That was very enertaining" --- PRONOUNCE YOUR T'S!! 😂

Tea tastes like dishwater--just ask Ted Lasso.🤠 And it seems like the only accents they have heard are NY, the valley in LA and a mash up of southern/southe western cliches. Every thing they say when they imitate a so-called American accent has an upward inflection at the end like a stereotypical valley girl or a character from "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". I love it.

Hello Joel. These videos often seem like the words reacted to came straight out of "My Fair Lady" or Dick van Dykes school of Cockney phrases. English differs round the UK. For example a unique Keighley thing is to get a scone in a teacake from a fish shop. Under fifty miles away in Manchester you would get a cake barm from a chip shop. Neither place would say "innit" but more likely "i'nt it" with a different emphasis on the middle t. I still enjoy watching and your reaction though.

Hi Joel, you should watch "London cabbies try bubble tea" on the jolly channel. It's so funny plus you will hear the dialect, and words like init etc.

Just a few days before yhis comment temperatures reached around 94 degrees F in the UK.

"moral of the story, pronounces your t's..." same guy two minutes before, "it's chewsday innit!?!?" lololol

I know you're visiting next month and that the weather can be an issue. Just to illustrate how different it can be here, the past 7 days in London it's rained one day and the temps have been 91f, 66f, 73f, 77f, 77f, 82f & 79f. So not the wet and cold everyone will try to convince you it is.

And of 67 million people to choose a red sunburnt British face from...these guys chose a Belgian footballer haha.

Pedur Pedur Pedur! I actually remember someone called Pedur and the duuuur was about right 😂😂😂😂

Buiscuits..... and gravy.... BUISCUITS...... AND GRAVY.... WHAT ARE YOU SMOKING ?!?!?!? 😂😂😂😂😂

'Fink' and 'innit' come from a certain type of English accent called 'Multicultural London English' - there's a decent wikipedia page about it and a bunch of videos explaining its use and growth in modern UK.

Lmao not Joel skipping the word ‘British’. You pull off a great accent lol

more jolly and korean englishmen reactions they have so many different people reacting from a vicar to a commando (both brothers )

Hey Joel! Hope you will come to Winchester while you are in the UK. I’d be delighted to meet you. I’ve been told I’m about 10% more British than average - according to the Americans I’ve met!

Best thing about this is Armand's first language is French and he still smashed it

Not many hotels in the UK have A/C, which you’ll be used to having at home. Hopefully you don’t find it too hot when you come here on your holiday.
