We’re like siblings, we fight and moan but when someone else comes between us we unite and are tight together! Brits don’t hate you, you’re not French 🙄🫢😆
I read a couple books on the US revolutionary war...One book describes the announcement of the wars end and partys with drink flowing with both sides partying together...Today some Brits still see the revolutionary war as a family argument......and it's difficult not to when you can visit Washingtons family house , Jeffersons and Adams all in the UK...Only a few months ago I visited a church and stumbled on the grave of one of Washingtons grandfathers and was set back when I saw the Washington family crest closely resembling the US flag
The Great Al Murray said it best : " the USA see the war of Independence as a Victory, while the British see it as a Lucky Escape " 😇.....I am classed as a " hater " by my wife's N/American family because they cannot differentiate between light hearted humour and what the word hate actually means. It's in my DNA to take the piss and have a giggle teasing people due to my east end upbringing and long years as a construction manager ( I was in the same class as comedian Micky Flannagan at school ). I do not know of a single person who says they " hate the USA " apart from the odd Lefty on tv. We think it's fooked over there, but we say the same about our Island.
I'm Canadian, watching both countries in amazement. You're right: the piss-take within the UK is 100x of that directed across the pond. The US isn't ready for a Count Binface candidate, but they're slowly catching on. One day they'll be going "out out" for McJellied eels and mash.
@@danmayberry1185 lol How dare you make me dream of a McJellied eel branch. Although hot eels mash & liquor ( i.e green parsley sauce ) smothered in chilli vinegar & black pepper is a better option🤗.
I just find it mind-blowing that this little island we call Britain sailed to America in the 17th century by sail and a compass, docked, and built settlements up & down the east coast, shipping food, clothing, fuel, animals, building materials and people from Britain. How amazing is that, We are you, you are us, its why we are so close. We will never lose that bond.. even though you annoy us like little brothers do at times, but we will always love one another. The American colonies were the British colonies that were established during the 17th and early 18th centuries in what is now a part of the eastern United States. The colonies grew both geographically along the Atlantic coast and westward and numerically to 13 from the time of their founding to the American Revolution.
Remember, until you gained independence, you were mainly Brits anyway, so it was more of a civil war that ended up with the winners remaining in America.
You know we like you when we insult you mate! The banter and bickering is our love language! Nothing but love from our tiny island to you, even though you've throat chocked the beauty of our actual language! 😉😂
The US is the annoying little brother, who grows up slightly spoilt, rebels a bit in their teenage years but also is there when he family emergencies happen, holding things together. Britain is the older sister who watches, often in disbelief, at the US antics, but is fast to defend them in an argument. By the way JT, you guys should take a look at the English county flags - some interesting designs
Starts with “do you hate me?” 😂 That was funny. I know that our history isn’t great, but I thought we we’re all fine. I thought we got out of slavery because of people like William Wilberforce! When you think about it we’re actually all family…the ships that went to America when it was first established, or taken over was with ships of British colonists. So over decades America has had Americans but they started out from England. So you could say the only true Americans are Natives American Indians.
The motherland never hate it's most disobedient child, the USA. She's been sorely disappointed. But grudgingly, she's come to respect her rebellious daughter... after she calmed down a little bit.
JT it's mostly banter. You know that as a man you are a mister, as a boy you're a master. So what I want to ask is that as boy were you master Kelly Baits?
Love you guys ❤️ just a point of interest for you 😁 in 1862, during the American civil war Lancashire mill workers, at great personal cost to themselves, refused to handle raw cotton picked by American slaves 😇 as poor as the mill workers were they still put freedom from slavery before there own needs, I find that warms my heart ❤️❤️🌸💕
We need more taste tests!! I love seeing you and Anna together and tasting different things. You both have me in stitches!! Pleeeeease can you do some more. ❤
Hi mate, my mum's american and half my family lives in the US so I've always been fascinated by how the UK and usa perceive each other. I'm old enough to predate the Internet, so one of the joys of modern times, especially youtube is seeing regular people get to know one another's everyday lives. I stumbled across your channel, like everyone, and I have to say you, and your partner, stand out as being likeable, open minded people. You're a credit to the form and I very much enjoy your videos. Keep it up, and best of luck with the new house. Cheers from Brighton and Hove 🙂
To me is mostly the country and not most of the people that under the current government is a bit of a laughing stock on the world stage. The thing with the some of the people seem to believe all the probergander from the government and will not accept other views.
W don't hate you, but we do think you should have used the freedom you fought for and won more constructively, we've (inside the UK) had to put up with the Colonial overlords ever since you broke away! You're the lucky ones! (jealous not jealous) Our ignorant politicians try convincing stupid people that we're better off outside a union, but at the same time, tell the Scottish that they're better off IN a union. You couldn't make it up.
I think the argument is that the 4 UK countries ARE stronger together, in the Union, than they would be apart, that's basic common sense! Northern Ireland, & Wales, are just not big enough economies to go it alone, & there's a lot of questions on whether Scotland is, even when the 'oil' thing gets chucked in the ring!! I'm a Scot who's lived in England for many years, & contrary to popular belief, Scotland isn't disliked even a tiny fraction of how much England is HATED by some, North of the border!
It is often said JT that when a Brit insults you he does so becasue your a friend and cool. Also inteligent enough not to take it to heart and give as good as you get. So if a Brit ever calls you a bad name he's doing so effectionatly.
I don't think most brits hate Americans, we just dislike your policy on weapons. We don't understand why, when there is sooooo much gun. Rime, so many mass shooting if school children that when we turn the TV on and hear that there has been another mass shooting we go "America", we're not shocked anymore and when that happened in the UK we seriously thought about it and changed the law. We're having huge problems with knife crime right now, so laws are been changed to combat that. I've seen videos of your carnivals where you toss a ring on a knife to win it and I find it so weird because that would NOT be allowed here. I think it's those elements which we can't get behind. But that's just my thoughts. And while I know there is bits who react to, and will be horrible to Americans on this platform, I don't agree with it. But I have also come across reaction videos from Americans who are not nice, they try and stand up for the ignorance of American people in the UK where as you are open and honest, if an American has been rude or embarrassing you'll be open and admit that. Yes, you question our customs sometimes but with you and Anna you can tell its all in fun. It's why I enjoy watching you guys and working my way through your back catalogue. I've also never wanted to send items to a PO Box opening before, now I can't help thinking what I could send. That shows I like you guys. Keep up the amazing work and keep those positive vibes towards both nations going. ❤
We don't hate you. Actually,,, never did.. The rock and roll music, Elvis. Michael Jackson. The movies, we can't live without them. Don't believe the BS.
Wasn't the war of independence fought between 1775-83? If so, what happened in 1812? And also, the statement "shoulder to Shoulder" during the 1st world war....only the last few months like! USA was a tad late to that conflict!!!
JT and Anna, You two are fantastic on RU-vid, great content and very entertaining. I am from central England but I feel more American than some actual Americans. My upbringing has so much American input I feel we are all brothers and sisters across the pond. It is my life long desire to visit the USA. The conflict in WW2 where we all landed on the beaches of France in 1944 together make us all a Band of Brothers.
Of course I don't hate you, JT, how could I? I don't really hate anybody - I'm not sure I could, even if I wanted to. Even Americans - with the possible exception of Donald Trump, who's pretty hard to like, it must be said... You see, here in the UK and especially in Scotland I think, we show love to our friends by insulting them! Nothing serious like, just playful challenges - and the occasional practical joke, just to keep the competition going, y'know? The thing that always amuses me is the way you all declare you use "Imperial Weights and Measures," as though that's its brand name and you invented it... Yet the word, "Imperial," means "belonging or pertaining to an Empire." And whose is the only empire that some of America ever belonged to...?!! That's right - our history is also your history, especially if you have British ancestry, as a great many Americans have...
The only thing I hold against some of our western cousins, who've travelled to the UK, is their insistence on thinking a visit to London means you've 'done' England!! OK, our Island is relatively small, but it's massively diverse, in it's habits, accents, politics, music, humour, history, religion, etc etc etc! A lot of people say the further north you travel, the nicer the welcome becomes! I'm not 100% behind that assumption, cos I've met some great southerners, as well as some a-hole northerners, so just take people as you find them, wherever you find them, & you won't go far wrong! 😁
I posted a parcel too you last week I forgot to put the card inside playing teris and somehow forgot to put it on top. You'll know its from me as its for when you 2 are cooking and baking. Only clue I can pop on here.. Your item has been received at ISC CHICAGO IL (USPS), United States of America. More information will be available as it travels through the network. it has lots of fragile tape all over the wrap and in an Asics shoe box inside the wrap.
When you say " if anything happens . We will have each others back". We always have yours, but i do recall a little skirmish we were in when America didn't support us. Argentina.. Not even verberly supporting us.
This is really misrepresenting history and is so incredibly brief. Britain and the USA had competing interests and were not part of the same financial system. America intentionally broke up the British Empire's imperial preference, indebted britain in the wars (note that Britain actually defaulted on its WW1 debts) and intentionally collapsed the empire over the Suez affair. The USA was supportive of Anglo-French intervention to retain its possessions but publicly turned against the European Colonial powers when they tried a plausible deniability strategy with Israel. Had the UK just gone in, then the USA had actually given assurances they would give public backing. The Europeans did not expect the USA to turn against the allies, particularly during the height of the cold war. However, instead they threatened war and broke the UK will on the world's stage. Militarily it had been a success but economically Britain had to surrender to American demands. After Britain was publicly diminished, they took over authority of the free world. Britain has to use soft-power ever since to play upon an emotional and cultural attachments between the USA and Britain. This is only because the UK has been reduced to a Minor Great Power and has been replaced by the USA as a superpower. We are friends because we have/had to be but we were still rivals until the USA dismantled the UK's global preeminence.
My best friend here is a yank and I've got really good friends in Philly, CT and Jackson MS and one of my best friends in school was from Maryland, I've never had a problem with you chaps at all.
Ummm, I live in Northern Ireland. In England I got called an Irish B?? And others treat us like stupid lesser humans. But, interesting fact.... when the Americans were here helping in WW2, well there was alot of little babies born. My Ma grew up in a wee town, and the ladies loved the Americans and had the romantics! Anways, the Americans had to go back home, not knowing about their babies. I find it interesting.
@@lisanelson9979 I'm pretty sure they would have.known what condoms were. Maybe there was a.shortage.of rubber and instead of giving ladies the stockings they'd bought over, they thought they'd try using them as condoms
I love Americans. I live very close to Sherwood Forest and regularly have a walk to the Major Oak. On one occasion we had took the kids for a visit, and were surprised to see it all roped off. When we were young you could stand inside it. Whilst stood looking at the tree, some American's approached. One of the group said, my it must be valuable they've set mines around it. They were mole hills. On a more serious note, the world would be a much harsher place to live without them. God bless America.
Sweetheart we don't hate you or your lovely headmistress, forward thinking made it sensible to move away from a large troublesome country but keep it close enough to park our unwanted ex royals. Loved your respect for the late Queen Elizabeth though.
I have no beef with my brother's and sisters in America. My beef is with your government (especially their foreign policies). All empires die from within. All empires come to an end, and the American one is no exception. I hope this is true for the oppressed in your country and the oppressed around the world. Love you brother.
I have close family in the USA but we're not Intouch. My aunt was a GI bride and went to live in Ohio. Not sure how I actually feel about the USA but I do the people. X
Love all your videos, you and Anna are my favorites. By the way, did you know that saying "Cheese and Rice" is the same as swearing and saying "Jesus Christ" in not a nice way. Give the doggies a hug for me.
JT reacts i as a uk fan love love your channel yes please more of these please 😀😁😂 😍😎 love your reactions too keep up the awesome work this is very intersting too. and yes i agree with @anta3612 me the same agree plus reacting to my roots channel i love too there another american channel which i love plus another one oh yes itsjps also love that channel too i love all the Americans channels but then again i love there american accents too. 😂 it's really really cool
I have an open approach to anyone from a different country. To dislike someone by default, is stupid. It's really great to see RU-vidrs looking at UK culture and learning about it. Anyone who's that open minded and inquisitive is OK in my book.
I really liked this video I am like you I like learning about history especially between our countries and how we became allies thanks for this I hope u and Anna and ur fur babies are all well
1776 was EVERYTHING to Americans It was just another chewsday for the English 😂😂 The Yanks got there independence and the English got a lucky escape 😂😂
our countries are literally brithers and sisters yh we was dicks to each other then grew up and were siblings again and have each others backs plus most of americans have uk ancestors
I think the British & Americans became friends, or at least renewed relations with each other fairly soon after the end of the revolutionary War. Mostly it was business & trade that was the most important factor that brought them together, & the need to restrain other powers from getting ahead.
One of the things that make others think that America hates Britain is films: if there is an Englishman in an American movie... keep an eye on him, he's probably the bad guy. It's gettting a bit old and overdone now :)
YES WE DO..........................................................................................................................................................................
Even today in the corridors of power of both countries there remains a degree of distrust, mainly due to the personal attitudes of one of the former ambassadors of the USA to the court of King James during the 1930’s, one Joseph Kennedy senior (father of JFK,) who argued for isolation from Europe and actively opposed the lease lend policies and the supply of arms to the United Kingdom and to the Russian people. He also was opposed to the UK , because of his own family history of supporting the IRA before they emigrated from Ireland to America.
I love the Yanks they are like us a bit strange a bit eccentric can be very individual can be very inventive and sometimes a pain in the arse but don't run them down in my earshot . they had one president who they took the piss out of but his record is one of the best ronald regan got berlin wall down and had great wit a fan .your ok with me mate
We should "hate" the way we hate the opposing team. Name calling, trash talking - all good. But when it's time for the World Cup or Olympics, it turns into cheering.
Hello JT. The channel who made this do fantastic five minute histories. If you want a long version, Old Britannia channel did a series on this, then a single video combining them all. I reckon this is one of the best history channels out there.
