Americans React | JACK WHITEHALL | Perspective Of Britain VS American | REACTION 

Last time ('01) I was in the US, I was there on deployment. I remember getting weird stares whilst I working my way through my 3rd pitcher of beer. I actually got asked did I have a drink problem! My answer was three fold, "No I don't have a drink problem, I'm British. Not only am I British, I'm a serving member of Her (now His) Majesties Royal Navy, we're trained to drink everyone else under the table & still be able to get back onboard".

The "let's drink the bar dry if someone else is paying for it" mentality is really not uncommon in the UK. My flatmate told me about his company Christmas party when that happened - this was a software development company, bear in mind. Their boss put his credit card behind the bar at 5pm, and between then and closing time (11 pm, so 6 hours), the party racked up a bar bill of £30,000 and pretty much emptied every barrel of beer the pub had, drank every bottle of wine they had in stock, and damn nearly finished off all the spirits on the optics too - and those are big 2 litre spirit bottles. The pub had to get an emergency delivery from the brewery the next day, just so they wouldn't have to be closed for lack of stock. Though I dare say they were pretty happy about it, having sold that much stock in one day. The boss whose credit card it was? He could afford it - his card had a credit limit of 5 times that amount. This wasn't the first time he had done this, so he knew what to expect.

On the drink driving thing, it IS super frowned upon in the UK too and you'd be properly socially shamed by everyone if you tried driving after 4 glasses of wine - just making sure it's known that that was part of the joke!

There certainly is a difference in drink culture. Whilst I was in the military I used to drink regularly with USAF guys when on detachment. Lightweights.

Jack is in a sitcom called Fresh Meat, with Simon from The Inbetweeners (Joe Thomas). It's about a group of youngsters going to university and having to share a house together. It's really good. The show is made by the makers of Peep Show. It's worth checking out. Keep up the good work mate, I love watching your reactions.

Loved your Greek plane story. Just goes to show; be cool and and people will treat you well. You two are a real credit to the US - thanks man :D

No matter where you are in the US the drinking culture is still very different, you have to come here to compare it truly. The easiest way to describe it is that it’s just way more ingrained in everyday culture, it’s not just about drinking a lot. We really don’t have the ‘acceptance’ of drinking and driving that exists in the US despite this because we don’t have the same reliance on driving. As for the rowdy thing it’s not so much that, you’ve seen enough of our comedy (that’s on broadcast TV like the Inbetweeners) to know on the whole we tend to be less proper than Americans despite the stereotypes being the reverse

Jack's also done some acting (Bad Education, Fresh Meat - two sitcoms), he's also done a travel tour series with his Father (Michael Whitehall, who is significantly older (Michael is 82, Jacks 34) typically playing of cultural differences and the age gap, with some sweet moments, the two also hosted a short lived chat show together plus Jack has acted in numerous one offs as well as hosted a few award shows. Travel's with My Father would probably be something you'd enjoy, not just for the difference and banter between the two (especially Michael speaking graphically about sex in front of Jack) but as they've visited South East Asia, Eastern Europe, USA, Australia and a minor tour of the UK.

You need to checkout Jack Whitehall in Travels with my father. This'll be right up your boulevard.

Something a lot of people don't know, including many in the UK, is that in the UK the legal drinking age is 5. As long as it is in private (at home, or a private event), parents can legally let their 5 year old drink whatever they want. It is very normal in this country for kids to get drunk, multiple times, long before they are 15.

I've lost count of the amount of times I've been in other European countries and had to apologise on behalf of rude British tourists. We all have them.

The Christmas drinks bit is so true! We had a Christmas party at a company I used to work for where the CEO purposely provided a free bar all night. Each year he would encourage us to try and break the record of the length of the bar receipt from the previous year and was disappointed when we didn't.

Jack has been on WILTY a few times and was introduced as posher than David . Some good stories , he has an older father who is also a bit of a character and they did a series of shows together .

I loved the way you ended a rant with " YOU PRICK" , You're one of us now mate.

You need to watch Bad Education, it was Jack’s tv show and it’s brilliant. There’s 3 seasons and a movie, but they’re bringing it back with a new class as well as some of the previous cast. He also did some travelling shows with his extremely uptight, almost octogenarian father and it’s hysterical 😂

Brian, you definitely need to add “Peep Show” to your list. You won’t be disappointed. Love your reactions by the way

The Brit rotten apples tend not to be the ones that go to the US. They go to Spain, Greece, etc, hate anything local there, demand the British pub and British fried breakfast experience, and seem to truly believe that speaking English loudly, slowly and with many insults is somehow a universal language that all native people across the world should understand

The drink driving comment was clearly a joke. You can be over the limit for drinking 1 pint of beer. We use an electronic breath tester. You're either under or over the limit. If you're over you are arrested and you lose your licence for a period of time. ✌️♥️🇬🇧

Your a legend mate - dont apologise for the nobs. We have them in the UK too.

Really good work getting these out so often King. Hopefully it'll all start paying off.

''sometimes donald trump can be a stupid idiot'' must be the nicest thing anyone has ever said about him

Regarding Americans that always kick up a fuss and act very entitled, there are thousands of people like that in Britain.

Jack did a series with his dad, going travelling around the world and his dad is a very snobbish upper class old fashioned type that NEEDS watching

Hey KB, a couple of comics you might not have seen. Australian Steve Hughes and Brit Russel Kane, both definitely worth checking out.

You need to watch... 'Travels with my Father' by Jack Whitehall, he basically goes on trips with his properly old dad, whos great. You get to understand him alot better (...he does a US trip too)

Once you’ve finished Inbetweeners (and the 2 movies) Bad Education is a great one to move onto 😃 I’d suggest Peep Show as it’s arguably the greatest British sitcom of all time, but it’s getting increasingly difficult to upload on YT.

It's so true about the manners. In Britain, much the same as any ancient culture, that once upon a time was extremely violent, people learn very formal manners in order not to die in short order, very much like Japan, but to be fair I've always found most Americans to be very polite, guess I've just been lucky. I think sometimes we need to remind ourselves that yours is a nation of pioneers, people who said, "Yeah, I'll try my luck in a new land that we've only just discovered," in which case I'd cut them a little slack. But just like my old Nan used to say when it comes to manners, "You catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar." 😁

As a brit i love your attitude ...you get us 🙂

My company in the city of London. Made 41 people redundant, I survived, but agreed to meet for their leaving drink at lunchtime. Ended up 50 in this pub when one guy pointed out he still had his company credit card. 4 hours later 56 bottles of champagne, plus plenty of beers and 28 bottles of wine later, the bar ran out. That was a great laugh until next day when those that survived had to go back to work 😄 😚😔. I do miss the nineties work ethic. Lol

I recon the whole of the UK could out drink the whole of the US 🤣

It was interesting that you mentioned coupons. I haven't seen any here in NZ for many years now. The specials and "one offs" are still here but are simply advertised in flyers etc and marked on the in store price tags. The drinking thing was interesting, when I was attached as a member of a NZ headquarters group to a US division in the US when we were in the officers' club the Kiwis would get a six pack each time we went to the bar which raised a few eyebrows as our hosts were getting by on single cans or bottles.

Hi KB.Theres an hilarious clip of Jack Whitehall on Graham Norton with Johnny Depp & Jennifer Lawrence that has her in tears with a very smutty story, just the sort of thing U like.Theres a short clip just relating to that story or the full show 45 mins.Hope you're not about to eat anything if U decide to watch it.

Last time I went to a phone shop it took ages to get served, and then i couldn't actually buy one, i could only order one. So i went home, ordered one from Amazon and it arrived next day.

Hi from uk love yr channel ......By the way love ya mouse pad keep up the good work king😉😉🤙🤙

Greetings K.B. Most excellent rant! Agree with mobile purchase, own til gone. Cheers bud!

Your Greek luggage story reiterated why I like watching your videos, your attitude is the best👌

Every airline has its own rules about cabin bags but the smallest restrictions I’ve seen is a bag size of 40x25x20cm. So if you get a bag that size you’re pretty much guaranteed for it to be allowed.

He did a chat show with his dad and travels with my father. Both very good.

Your videos are fabulous love you king boomer from me in the UK x

We have a similar carry-on system in the UK it's pretty standard in Europe if you look around the airport you can find the little checking frames scattered around allowing you to check if it fits your self before check in avoiding this problem and larger airports usually have a luggage store where you can buy carry-on bags perfectly sized to fit.

Ah Paros … First visited that island when backpacking when I was 18. An amazing island, great connections to other islands.

Jack is also an actor, writer all round entertainer & renaissance man. Catch Mock the Week if you want to see some more young up and coming comedians

I used to work in Grand Rapid, Michigan one week a month in the 2000s. First time a colleague said 'do you want to go and get a beer' I though he meant 'let's hit the pub for the night' but he really mean 1 beer! He drank it and and then stood up and said 'right, see you tomorrow!'

Good for you, that was an excellent story. I’m glad you save that €60 😂

Would love to see more Jack Whitehall reactions haha love him ...can't wait to see more Inbetweeners!!!

"In Glasgow, we don't GIVE a fuck." When waiters are paid a humane wage 🤣🤣 So glad I don't live in America as a server! I'm from Ireland, we'll still tip you but your rent or your baby's diapers don't depend on it. Edit: My BIL is from Buffalo and Tennessee (moved a bit back and forth), him and his whole family are the kind of Americans you absolutely LOVE having in your country. So happy and polite and excited to learn all they could! Even an cúpla focal. So, when you Americans come visit, remember we know you're not all stereotypes. Just... the ones who are, they're absolute cabáiste.

Luvin the vids boomer, keep it up man. Gotta do the inbetweeners movies soon mate. 🙏🙏🙏

Not seen this before, very funny😂😂😂👍🏽

Jack Whitehall is also in the tv series Fresh Meat, alongside the actor that plays Simon in The Inbetweeners. PLEASE start watching Fresh Meat with the Queen, you'll love it.

Pick whatever state you want mate🤣we’re getting drunk from 13 onwards over here🤣🤣

My lot used to leave whisky out for Father Christmas, mainly because they knew I’d be the one drinking it lol

as an American you really have the right attitude when abroad

Bad education is another funny as hell Jack Whitehall sitcom, very much has that inbetweeners vibe but extremely silly & more family friendly.

1:23 not so young anymore lol he’s 34. On another note can’t wait for u guys to visit and experience the uk. The vlogs will be so entertaining

Enjoyed muchly !🙏

Jack Whitehall wrote and starred in Bad Education, very funny series based on real experiences of teachers in secondary schools.

yh he was in a sitcom called bad exucation definetly worth checking out and if a video gets blocked u can always stick it on daily motion

I was never interested in Jack Whitehall's comedy until I watched 'Travels with my Father'. Since then I do find him quite amusing and love his perspective on boarding schools and upper class living.

I'm British and went to a restaurant in Eastern Europe where an American was moaning about the food and called in the (non-English speaking chef) He shouted at the chef "I do not get this at home". To my amusement, and saving the face of Americans abroad, another American stood up and banged his fist on the table, shouting "Sam, you are not at *%*^ing home, so either go home, or shut the *%*^ up!". Beautiful.

I can confirm drinking is similar in Britain and America (specifically the middle of nowhere in Wyoming), you get the same few guys who sit in the pub from 5pm til chucking out time every day to avoid their wives. Where it differs is underage drinking, if a 16 year old walked into a rural pub in England they get served no questions asked, anyone under 21 in the states isnt allowed to serve alcohol let alone drink it.

I visited Florida a couple of years ago and I really enjoyed it. The people were friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend it. Very hot and humid in July.

Jack Whitehall is also an actor he's been in several comedy shows and does a travel show with his dad xx he's also in Disney's Jungle Cruise with Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson xx

Instant response to the cafe joke American lady should have been "well you're not in Kansas anymore Dorothy so pay up if you want a refill"

_"Coupon muppet"_ 🤣

You definitely need to react to Jack Whitehall’s bit about America - England on his new Stand Up show Settle Down!! X

You'd be surprised how far manners and politeness and courtesy can get you. Especially when dealing with cops.

Jack is one of my favourite comedians ☺️

Card on the bar made me laugh. My old boss once made that mistake, oh how we laughed.

He's not just a comedian, he's been in a few big movies too and has done voice over work.

Just to add a bit of perspective - the majority of local political meetings (as in local branches of each party) take place in pubs

In our cities people work until 5pm Friday and then binge drink until 4am Sunday. In our farmer towns people huff petrol (gas) from tractor tanks 4 days per week.

The Scottish cafe bit reminded me of Harry Enfields American tourist sketch

Loved the Greece story. You guys are Top people!

You should find the short clip of him on Graham Norton with Olivia Colman - she accidentally (perhaps) buries him.....

As a Brit, we have a reputation across much of Europe as being awful travellers, including when flying over for sporting events (coughFOOTBALLcough). Sadly this is very true. One woman went to Spain and had the audacity to complain that there were too many Spanish people there

Here in England , we have our own In your face People , too many !😔🙂

You should react to “gimme gimme gimme” it a British show from the 90s it’s hallarious! 😂😂

The airport story was great 😂

OK KB, time to get back in touch with your feminine side. Sarah Millican - My Muckiest Jokes please, when you get chance 😊 I'm so glad you're getting a chance to see so much UK comedy, and are enjoying it. You can tell Queen Boomer you and Johnny Depp have something on common! 😉😁

I feel like the Austin 3:16 shirt deserves a special mention. Especially those of us in our mid-30s who grew up with that!

your rant cracked me up 🤣

Love the Greece anecdote.And yeah,we've got bad apples too.Doesn't everyone?

Inbetweeners next episode please release one today 😭I'm literally crying to see your reaction mate 🙏🏽 the next two episodes are golden bro

In the UK airports, before check in, our hand luggage is checked first. If its 15kg were good to go check out. Saves time tbh.

Second checking out Fresh Meat, it’s a bit like the Inbetweeners go to university, written by the two writers of Peep Show. It’s pretty spot on about what ‘college life’ is like in Britain

Hey King/Queen, apropos of nothing, I appreciate that you two keep your bedroom neat and your bedclothes match. It's amazing how many RU-vidrs film in a complete dump as though there's a time pressure to record NOW and they can't possibly do anything about the mess. Anyway, enough ranting, thanks for the entertainment.

Been told that you can get hours of fun, searching news headlines from Florida typing random dates. Saw someone do it, I think he called it "Mean while in Florida".

I don’t think I’ve ever got on a flight without some idiot starting shit lol x

Jack Whitehall acts as well as stand up Bad Education he is a contemporaneous now Robert Pattinson and it quite funny hearing him bitch about how well he was doing yes he is ridiculously young love your choices

Bad education would be a great one to watch with Jack Whitehall in

He"s done a couple of movies in Hollywood!

Sherry? we used to leave a glass of brandy out for Santa in my day... Sherry was for the ladies...

We don't have a coupon culture in the UK I'm obsessed with those US extreme couponer shows I would love to do it

No sherry in my house. It was either port or Jack Daniels

I would really recommend “bad education”. It’s jack whitehall. And it’s kinda like the inbetweeners. But from a young teachers perspective. And the kids are abit younger but it’s a perfect comedy. Infact, the little kid who beats Simon up is in it. He’s a main character and grown up from the role he had on inbetweeners. It’s really funny. Would love for you to do a reaction. Not many seasons or episodes either

Bad Apples? I was on a bus with the family at WDW. My draught was 14 months max and she was puking. I said loudly to the missus that we shouldn't have given her gin. The looks I got for that joke.

hes in jungle cruise with the rock and clifford the big red dog

He was the girl in the rocks movie (jungle cruises) brother

We don't have coupons in the uk, like youse do. We get some vouchers but you can only usually use only one.

Definitely recommend more of his stand up, you may even find the UK humour more relatable than his commentary on the US. Also his show Travels With My Father is awesome
