Yeah, someone whos never experienced the culture or are not using it for reference but instead of fantasizing what some "unknown" parts of the culture are to them
@@vrenak honestly as an Aussie I was listening like “this seems kinda Aussie”, especially with the slang where they add “o” to the end. The Taco Bell one also felt Aussie because to me Taco Bell is like a novelty takeaway store with strange menu items. We’ve got a total of 39 Taco Bell stores in the country I think, and the first appeared in 2019. I only know where one location is. They’re perceived as very American and most people would rather go to more familiar places like Guzman y Gomez or Zambrero from what I can tell. So not understanding Taco Bell felt like a familiar sentiment. A bunch of it was names, tv shows, and general references unfamiliar to me as an Aussie though, like idk Pizza Express. I imagine though if an Aussie intern wrote the list they might automatically assume places they don’t recognise to be more significant to the British experience so your theory is adding up lol
@@FoxeralI mean, England is the southern-most country in the UK, so if England is cold then Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will also be very cold, makes sense
they come from malvern, a town a bit east of cardif and a bit north of bristol, probably an older bloke based on the complaints about meal deal pricing which the youngers have accepted as fact now and the shows he watched, give him late 40s, council estater in a posh area, travels too much and hasnt been apart of any night scene in years and cant remember what his was like
It's mainly just an annoying amalgamation of stereotypes reinforced by a very vocal minority and exaggerated British media that's popular overseas (I'm Catholic from Northern Ireland and even I can clearly recognise this is nowhere near relatable to any reasonable person)
Fr this is so gentrified and upper middle class people and since they mentioned bristol, I mean the most edgy thing to come out of Bristol is the art ninja
@@Foxeral It's the kind if thing that would be done by gentrified yuppies named Daryll 'n' Caryll. Most upper middle class people would have better things to do.
This feels like someones trying to make those jokes where someone says something odly specific as if its a genral thing that everyone does but they dont quite understand how those jokes work
@@actionjackson493 u would be surprised like 95% of journalist are privately educated rich kids. They may talk all about being defenders of the common man but so does the conservatives 😔
It was just a list of things the person that wrote it does. Basically the writer is a narcissist and thinks that because those are things she does and clearly her way IS the correct way (all of her friends told her so), everyone else must also be like that.
I'm Swindonian and have definitely done that on the way to Temple Meads before. They do play it out rather on a lot during a single journey to be fair so it gets engrained and you sort of don't realise right away that you are lip-synching along....
My junior school houses were named after famous explorers. Raleigh(red), Drake(green), Cook(blue), and Scott(yellow). My senior school houses were named after places locally, Lambton(red), Lumley(blue), Ravensworth(green), and Finchel(yellow). I can safely say this since my old senior school closed in 2014 and no longer exists. Plus I don't live near there any more.
It's best film produced imo by the company (I forgot name but Wallace and gromit people) it generally scared me as kid, and I could only compare it to the Holocaust but for chickens.
@@-._A2._- I used to work at the Aardman Animations museum and the Wallace and Gromit theme would play on loop every day. I still have it stuck in my head...
Yep I was not pleased to hear Malvern. Its pronounced "Malvern"! 😂 Also pleasantly surprised to hear my hometown mentioned on a Memeulous video, this is the 2nd thing related to Malvern he has mentioned/made a video on in the 8 years I've watched him
@@MrDannyDetail nah, it's pronounced "Molvern" not "MALvern" Think of how you'd pronounce the first part of the name "Moll" (like Molly), it's pronounced like that not "Mal", by everyone who lives here or knows people who live here, very common thing for people to call it MALvern if they don't know otherwise, because that is the logical pronunciation based on how it is spelt Hope this helps.
@@charliesmith874 Thanks. I was thinking afterwards that maybe it was 'maul'-vern if someone was poshifying the pronunciation, but I don't think I'd have ever guessed 'mol-vern' and don't recall ever hearing that pronunciation before. There's a village or small town somewhere in the south-east, I can't recall exactly where/which of the top of my head, which has a 'normal' pronunciation that everyone else uses, and a completely unpredictable 'local' pronunciation that only locals would know and which they use as a sort of secret code to tell if people are local or not, so it makes me wonder if this a bit like that too.
@@JamesMC04 Same here. When I ask why, they say it's the best of a bad lot. That's true enough - newspapers are uniformly garbage - but why read tripe at all? If the only choice is tripe, it's best to ignore the lot.
I will have you know I have done every single one of these and am SHOCKED at my fellow countryman/women/folk for not engaging in these very normal and regular activities
My Primary School Houses were St Matthew/Mark/Luke/John, and in Secondary they were Chi-Rho, Ichthus, Alpha, Omega, Pneuma, and Pax, all of which had Christian meaning.
I once saw an article that said something along the lines of "I ate breakfast, lunch and tea at the 9th best wetherspoons in the UK". I don't think this is worse.
I have absolutely lip-synched to that announcement on my way to precisely that station (a station I'm pretty familiar with) as the GWR do like to play that message out a lot on the same train journey (with, on the route I take, only three stations to break into it with actual station announcements) to the point that you do find yourself either lip-synching it or outright speaking along with it (the latter of which might attract funny looks). I do also have more or less zero understanding of Taco Bell. I have never eaten a Taco in my life, and all I know is that it is a sort of wrap with some sort of Tex-Mex contents in. I wouldn't have the first idea of what choices would be on their menu, or how to tell if any one of them were sufficiently lacking in hot spices that I could actually cope with eating it. The only nickname I have heard for Sainsburys (as someone who worked for them for 12 years!) is 'Sains bunnies', but that is a Maths textbook when I was still at secondary school. PS: Kirstie and Phil do some sort of Home Improvements/DIY show and are very well known, even to people who have never watched their show. Jonathan Creek was still broadcasting new episodes as recently as 2016 (as per the screenshot you included), so you'd have to be under about 12 years old to convincingly say it's too old for you to have heard of it. Jane McDonald became famous as a cabaret singer on a reality series about cruises, then released several successful albums, then became one the Loose Women, so she is very famous to most Brits. PPS: I'm actually called Danny, and have been to and enjoyed Lanzarote, but absolutely nobody in my life has ever called me Danzo (though my little sister used to called me 'Dans' when we were little, but nothing to do with Lanzarote).
"I've never heard of Bristol Temple Meads". I have, and have never been to Bristol. Never heard of the Malvern Hills? They only inspired Elgar's Enigma Variations, and are the source of Malvern Spring Water. Never heard of Jonathan Creek? I've never watched it, but I've heard of it. Anything outside the M25 is a mystery...... But not knowing Pizza Express do birthday parties, especially at Woking.....well, no sweat 😂
The Bucky P / Bucko Pal line definitely reeks of someone with a trust fund, this may not be AI but it might be an out of touch rich kid trying too hard. Half of this list is definitely outside my economic bracket Some (maybe) Britishcore: - PE teachers telling people the cold isn't that bad when they're wearing a trench coat - Walking down to the corner shop after school for sweets - 99p ice creams - being subjected to your friend's demo tape of a song they reckon will kickstart their music career - cheap plastic spades and buckets at the seaside - putting your feet up after a successful Tesco shopping trip
For anyone wondering who doesn’t know, I searched it up and Kirstie and Phil’s Love it or List it is a 2015 reality show where both of them helped people unhappy with their homes by giving them tips for renovation.
There are some odd Americans who are promoting the "Britishcore" tourism thing. The first video I saw had the chap claiming he was really looking forward to going Manchester for a pint of Guinness. That was enough.
i've been to bristol temple meads train station several times, but i did not mouth 'see it, say it, sort it' on any of those occasions... and the only thing my dad ever warned me about as if it was a coming apolcalypse was his financial ruin after leaving the landing light on, which was referred to as being akin to "blackpool illuminations"
Can confirm I lip synced “see it, say it, sorted.” on the train to Bristol Temple Meads…. In fact it was literally last night…. Feeling called out here
Random British fact about my dad he owned a pub for 5ish years and when he gave the ownership to his friend he took all the glasses with telling anyone 💀
Thank you George. I made it about to about 20 on that list before concluding that this was just written by an extremely different kind of British person than me, glad to see I’m not the only one!
I dunno if they did this as rage bait/with the intention of engagement of people saying they did none, but as a 28 year old Male who has lived in England his whole life, I have not done a single one of the things George showed on that list, not one
only thing on that list i’ve done is the british transport police announcement along with all the stops on the train only because ive heard it so many times in my commute to work that its engraved in my mind and it happens subconsciously
Had a McDonald's birthday party when i turned 6 and it was SO FUN. Also attended many Pizza Express parties, making pizza then eating what i made myself was so fun as a kid
I use the C2C trains from tilbury town. Their thing is the same pretty much and i lip sync to it as i hear it so often "If you see something that doesn't look right, speak to staff or text the British transport police on 61016, see it say it sorted"
