AMERICAN Reacts to Extremely British TikToks *HILARIOUS* 

The phrase you asked about, NONCE, is slang for a paedophile, and comes from an old prison term. Basically for their own safety, when in prison, paedophiles were kept separate from other inmates, so would get their exercise time differently. So guards knew who was who, they would write N.O.N.C.E on their cells note board, which stood for Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise... so they were then referred to what we now use as the current slang by the prisoners and staff.

Yeah, the kettle power surge is pretty accurate, you have people go make a cuppa while Coronation Street is on an ad break etc. It's quite funny, like a hive mind for tea.

M25=motorway...England's largest car-park. Takes up to 12 hours to drive around the outskirts of London.

The lad doing an impression of his mum 🤣 Major Peter Kay vibes! 🤣🤣

btw for context in the postman one, if you’re not in when you get a delivery that can be put through the letter box in the door they give it to your neighbour and put a slip through your door to tell you which house has it. so him saying “i have a parcel for your neighbour” just means his neighbour isn’t in and he’s asking if he can hold it until they come back

M25 literally the "Road to hell", Chris Rhea came up with the song while stuck in traffic on it. The tea power surge is a true thing, for example there is a hydro power station in Wales and a gas turbine one in Greenwich that can spool up in about 90 seconds to assist with this.

The tea time power surge is absolutely real. When I was at uni we had a field trip to the national grid hq and met one of the people responsible for forecasting energy usage. The profile graph is quite something, it's a very clear jump in demand

Yes the electricity surge is very real. It also happened when they said the Queen had died. People went and made a cup of tea..... or coffee, yes we drink lots of coffee.

The TV break power surge WAS a major headache years ago but has mostly faded away as streaming services mean that people finish programs at different times.

"Peanut butter on the nipples. Merry Christmas." Made me spit my tea 🍵 out!

Look up Dinorwig Power Station sometime - they basically hollowed out a mountain in Wales so that they could stick a hydroelectric power station in there, and when peak energy demand hits, they empty an entire lake up on the mountain into a lake down in the valley and convert the energy into water - they then pump the water back up overnight so it's ready for the next day.

Absolutely love the Farage one. That girl is a little legend. That 'wagon' is the bane of our streets and paths. They are everywhere.

Look into the Welsh tradition of Mari llwyd. The rapping horse skull coming to drink your beer, will blow your mind.

10:03 most delivery companies in the uk let you pick a "safe place" to leave your parcel if you're not home, this can be: The bin shed/cupboard A neighbour ETC

Yeah it's called "The TV pick-up". Our power grid is AC with a frequency of 50Hz so all the spinning power station generators are producing electricity that is rising and falling in voltage at 50 times a second in synchronisation with each other. When you draw a massive amount of power from that AC supply it has a "breaking" effect on those spinning generators so the grid frequency starts to drop down; 49Hz then 48Hz and so on until your electrical devices connected to the power grid stop working. When you have a surplus of available AC power that's not being used the generators "speed up" and the grid frequency increases. The National Electricity Network Company, a.k.a. National Grid, monitors the frequency to keep it balanced at 50Hz. If there's a sudden demand for power, say for example everyone in the UK putting on the kettle during halftime at an England World Cup match which is a classic TV pick-up, then they need to quickly spin up more generators. This is where quick response power stations like Electric Mountain come into play; they release thousands and thousands of gallons of water from a reservoir at the top of a Mountain in Wales down into turbines within a few seconds to generate the power needed for the rise in demand. Then very late into the night like 2am to 4am when there is excess power available because everyone is asleep they pump the water back up to the top of the mountain to be used again.

Yes ive heard that the National Grid work with the TV companies for big sporting events etc, when there is an Ad break everyone rushes to put the kettle on and causes a surge in demand for electricity 😂

I live in a little UK village, I still get power surges and my lights flicker mid afternoon :) it happens, you get used to it!

@ 4:53: I thought she was going to say "my mummy says you're a twat" ... or something along those lines. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Those girls getting ripped off reminded me of the time when my friends and I were out one weekend and managed to catch the last bus. We were the only ones on it and we paid the driver extra to drop us all off at our homes instead of following the route. Good times. 😎

The little Manc girl with the writing on the face... it has to do with the "Elf on the shelf" tradition of pranks and shenanigans. Look it up!

'Why a chicken?' .... Have you seen what Americans hang on their walls?! 🤣🤣

If it's allowed on RU-vid it would be cool to see you react to funny scenes from some of our old sitcoms. Last of the Summer Wine, On The Buses, Dad's Army, Porridge, Steptoe & Son, Open All Hours, Keeping Up Appearances, Some Mother's Do 'Ave 'Em, Fawlty Towers, Father Ted. We have some real classics showcasing good 'ole British humour

I went to High school with the kid who did the mum impression, I always found him funny in the characters that he played in school shows

i think you need to react to alan partridge. classic very british humour, it takes a lot to get it even for you lol but people love him like they do karl pilkington except karl is real. steve coogan (from tropic thunder) plays alan partridge and has for decades. its genius

Are they on Beachy Head when they beep that hooter or somewhere at the edge of a cliff. Pure British humour. Hilarious. 🤣🤠👍

You made me laugh so hard with the peanut butter comment 🤣

Yeah, the kettle thing is real, the surge is usually during, in the middle of and at the end of popular soaps, such as Eastenders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale. Sometimes, especially winter, the drain on the National Grid is so great that they have to borrow/buy(not sure which) electricity off the Continental European power grids.

m25 is the motorway the loops round the outskirts of London and is constantly full of traffic, I live near the Dartford crossing and its a f'king nightmare!

Omg the ending with your hat!! 🤣

Loving it, keep up the good work, love the hat

from what i remember, somewhere else has something similar to our kettle surge as well but instead of for electricity its for water as everyone is going to ''release the waste''

5:04 lierally drinking a cuppa tea right now. Also I have that kettel.

Subbed to your channel mate! As a British person myself I can relate to these and you reacting to them is gold! Keep them coming! ❤

When it comes to brew times, all I know is brekky, morning brew around 10ish, dinner and maybe brew time mid afternoon to split the time between dinner and clocking off. I know some people have a brew after their tea, but I tend not to have one so to get a good nights kip and not be a bit buzzed through the evening. That's first to me that the telly companies and national grid work together when everyone decides to get up and put kettle on.

We have a hydro electric pumped storage power station in the electric mountain in llanberis North Wales near snowdon wish can bring up to 4 turbines on line just for the commercial break. It then pumps the water back up the mountain using cheap electricity!

Yes it is true, we love our tea, and whenever there is a commercial break, we rush to make the tea.

I'd love to see you react to some British Christmas the Aldi one this year had me howling Edit: I meant Christmas adverts I missed a word *face palm

I've totally been that moody builder slamming that window closed. Just spent the whole day in the cold, half hour in warmth on the bus ride home isn't a lot to ask for :P

The cool vehicle is a mobility scooter. It was designed to run on the sidewalk with a max speed of 25 km per hour. They range in price from $6,500Cnd to over $10,000 Cnd.

Can confirm that in the 1980s lights would dim briefly at the end of an episode of Coronation Street as millions of people made a brew.

Good old M25 😂 you need to plan a whole day just to use it.

Between 5-7 pm there is a massive surge on the power grid when all electric cookers and kettles go on .

I don't know about supercharging but they do have to time it or at least they used to before netflix, since electrical usage did increase during commercial breaks

6:25 jt thats a mobility scooter aka an old biddy scooter

So basically, if there’s a parcel for someone; in the UK we give it to any neighbour that’s home at the time so they can look after the parcel whilst the owner of said parcel is out

It’s a mobility scooter with a hard cover JT 😂

At England football matches on TV when the half time whistle goes every kettle in the country goes on to make tea. Similar, but not as big, for some popular TV shows. The World Cup is a difficult time for power companies.

Kettle thing is completely true. Before we could pause telly or stream we would have to fit the whole tea making process into the advert break.

😂 love how ur hat decided to attack you like loads at the start of the video

5:50 - yes, that is real, there was cause for concern a few years ago as somebody miscalculated the amount of power needed during the end of one program and the start of another, it almost caused a nation blackout

Lmao jt loved the end flicking the hat 😭

The electricity surge is definitely an issue. They invoke back-up power generations like hydro dams and imports from undersea cable interconnects to/from France, Ireland and the Continent. It think all countries do this though for peak time power generations for their own needs.

Before he even said Birmingham, I knew it was Birmingham New Street. All that running up and down the stairs with a suitcase because they’ve changed the arrival platform again and then waiting for hours in a concrete bunker.

So the kettle thing. It was real, not so much anymore. There's a power station in Wales called electric mountain. They drain a lake on top to turn a turbine for instant power and then pump the water back up. It costs more than it produces but its rapid and does the job. Have a look into it. It's quite amazing really

Brings a new meaning to Reece's pieces 😂😂😂

HAPPY 1ST DECEMBER EVERYONE 🎅🎉🎄🎊🎁🎄🎊🎅🎁🎊🎄

Peanut butter eh ? I think you revealed more than you meant to there 😱 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The m25 circles the whole of London from the outside it’s always congested and always have road repairs!

14: the chicken was waiting there for its post for so long it died and defeathered lol

in the uk delivery companies won't leave stuff at your front door, you can have an alternative address for delivery if you won't be in or you re-arrange delivery.

NONCE means not on normal courtyard exercise, it’s a prison term from the old days but nowadays it means kiddy fiddler

That mini car thing is actually a mobility scooter with a roof 🤣 do you not have them in america? They're everywhere in Europe haha

I have no idea what the first TikTok was about because I was too busy laughing at you and your hat! 🤣

Yes that’s true in 1985 Christmas special of eastenders soap on the BBC afterwards everyone put the kettle on and the country nearly lost power so from then on the national grid learned to plan a head

About preloading the National grid for the kettle rush. Yes it’s true. The biggest boosts are during World Cup games. What can I say, we take our tea seriously. 😂

Oh yes , the commercial break thing has been ever present in my life time , especially during important evening footy games 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

You better dye or bleach that beard white for Christmas, or we’re falling out 🤣 🤜🤛

JT the tradition dictates that you put them up 12 days before Xmas and take them down 12 days after Xmas.

The vehicle in the video is a SCOOTERPAC Cabin Car MK2 Plus Mobility Scooter, more of a mobility vehicle than car lol

Not on normal courtyard exercise, prison slang for protected inmates, now used for child predators

The chicken. Was probably a frozen chicken hanging up over the white bowl to catch the drips

When are you getting your tattoo I think you should come to the uk and get it done

Nonce means sex offender, it comes from yrs ago outside a prison cell written on a board would be name, number and any other info, like nonce, meaning not on normal circuit exercise, meaning segregated from the other prisoners for their own protection.

The one with the eyes was me the other day 🤣🤣🤣 she was on point

JT, I think that the shirtless man who you thought had peanut butter on his nipple had it pierced. The two gents talking about opening the window during the bus journey reminded me of what happened to me many years ago. I was on my way to work and was sat on the top deck of a double-decker bus towards the back and I had the window open for some air because we were travelling a fairly long distance and I was sometimes prone to motion sickness although I always took a travel sickness pill prior to travelling just in case. I also had two small windows open, i.e. the one immediately above my seat and the one in front of it to create a nice breeze during the journey. There were two young gents sitting immediately behind me and one of them - the one closest to my window - leaned over and barfed right out of the tiny window where I was sat. My immediate response was to turn around and call him a "....dirty f*cking c*nt...." and then I had to go downstairs and sit at the back of the bus for the remainder of the journey just so as not to look at him or see and smell the puke that he'd produced which was dribbling down the bigger window underneath. By the way, his mate was equally as unsympathetic towards him as I was and he apologised to me prior to me leaving the scene of the 'accident'. 👎🤮👎

That was a mobility scooter - and yes, some can go on the road, they obviously need to be roadworthy lights, hazard warning lights, indicators etc.

A colleague used to drive 60 miles to get to work, partly on the M25. One day, not unusually, there was an accident and the queue became more than 5 hours. After a while with nothing to do but drink coffee and water, he needed to go to the loo. He saw that up ahead men were pulling their cars over into the hard shoulder and peeing behind some bushes, as they do. So, he thought he’d do that. Having pulled over, he was relieving himself behind the bushes when there was a tremendous noise - shouting, screaming and banging. He looked up to find the traffic on the inside lane has moved up and there were 50 children waving at home from a tall coach all looking over the hedge he thought he was hidden behind.

People believe far too much the "kettle surge" won't cause blackouts this has been going on since TV started there are just peak demands times around ad breaks

Nonce is a police term which is an acronym for "Not On Normal Communal Exercise" which usually applies to prisoners who are likely to be attacked or killed in the prison exercise yard, such as child molesters and the like, so they are kept separate to get their exercise at a different time, safely away from general population.

Yes it’s true! There were a lot of power outages when I was younger because of it, now of course they sorted it out for afternoon tea 😂!

Opticians get so close that I hear them breathe and I don't like that.

First one, proper little stokie. Legend!

thanks for making me laugh!!

The power surge during advert breaks is true.

Love your Spider-Man hat. I was hyped about an Avengers glasses frames. Then realised they for for little kids. I was gutted!

On the first day of Chrimbo JT gave to me ...one spidey hat....

Loving the spidy Santa hat 👌

Reactmas!!!! I love it bro 😂

You need to follow the two guys joking about the bus window on TikTok. Their channel is hilarious 😂

You should listen toMickey finigan, Michael Mackintyre and peter kay

the tea thing is true

An erm hello it’s spider man 😂🤣 killed me 😂😂🤣

On RU-vid look up, 'CITROEN AMI REVIEW BY AUTO SOCIAL UK'. I have one coming on 20 December. A Great and Cheap little Car.

Best Christmas hat ever, I just love Spiderman 🇬🇧

Nonce means pedophile. It’s actually an acronym for Not on normal courtyard exercise. Was a way for prison guards at Wakefield to know what prisoners to release with gen pop on exercise. As normally the kiddy fiddlers would take a beating or worse if allowed to mix.

( 12:46 - 13:03 ) it was a hydrofoil board

the power grid kettle story is 100% true. its a huge problem on the grid that caused issues in the past during sports events

Hi JT love your xmas hat 👍🤩xx🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The loomband one, a guy I know its his neice lol

Based on some stories 90 quid for one of those rickshaw rides is the lower end! You have to make sure you agree price beforehand, I used one before and the guy was a hero getting me to Euston Station in time for my train as he could skip traffic. Best 20 quid I spent in London!
