Those are only Amsterdam stereotypes! I think of windmills, and tulips!!! And educated happy hardworking people who all (95%) speak excellent English !
Ahahahaha, the steak comment had me laughing out loud :P To be fair to the UK, the Southern US is generally known for and picky about their steak (as long as we are doing stereotypes) so I imagine Hallie getting steak in Britain would be like Cady getting tea in the US.
If I have to think about English food, steaks are definitely not the first thing coming to mind! Maybe roasted meat or stews and the pudding and the desserts or sweets in general.
One of the causes of the collapse of the Qing dynasty was Britain smuggling opium to China because China refused to trade with Britain except with silver.
@@militorosa8720 its a wools accent that is like a more subtle scouse accent and a scouse accent has come from Irish immigrant plus a couple of other things
Food in America hasa lit of fructose corn syrup and nasty additives, that's why adults and kids are so big. Each time i go to Europe without any diet and exercise i lose weight.
North east uk here; our teens are 50/50 slim trendy kids & jacked kids but adults(25+) here in Newcastle/Teesside are mostly addicted to the gym and mma.
I went to London recently, from Northern Ireland. There was so much Harry Potter stuff there. This was a real culture shock to me - I had no idea people were still talking about Harry Potter, like when did the last one not come out? Ten years ago?
Great to see someone from the American South! 😁 One Southern stereotype I dislike is that we are not as smart as other people. The stereotype of hillbilly, bumpkin people who lack even basic knowledge and intelligence. I know plenty of people with super thick Southern accents, grew up “in the sticks,” and all the stereotypical things who are accomplished classical pianists, top-of-their-field scientists and physicians, and pretty much any other “brainy” stereotype. A person’s accent or where they live shouldn’t make people assume they are unintelligent.
Precisely. And that applies to immigrants as well. People look down on people who struggle speaking English, or have a foreign accent, and little do they know those very people are well educated, doctors, engineers, artists, scientists, etc. It's not easy expressing your thoughts in a language you're not used to speaking/didn't grow up speaking, and people assume you're an idiot because of that. People judge others a lot just by the manner of someone's speaking.
Accent and dialect shouldn't make people think someone is stupid or lower class, but it unfortunately does. I personally try not to buy into it, although statistically people from the Northeast have higher IQs and better education. Even then, people stereotype northeastern accents as dumb or lower class unfortunately.
And how many people have you heard from Alabama and what parts of Alabama were they from? Just like MS and LA there is an accent difference from north to south. To me people sound more “country” the further north in those states. The term Lower Alabama includes Alabama and parts of Florida and I hear no difference in their accents or notice any major cultural differences yet people love to say Florida isn’t Southern and group the state as a whole. I often go to Mobile to visit my family for Mardi Gras festivities. That is not part of the culture in every part of Alabama.
I think it has grown over the last 30 years where the schools and local news have pushed for accents that are more in line with Hollywood movies and TV shows. Most States with big cities, their accent in the city will be more like someone from California, but people who are in the rural areas cling to the more original accents people had in that area over the last 150 years. Schools and media are normalizing a certain accent in the last 20-30 years.
@@Northanteus I’ve noticed more non Southerners and even English speaking non Americans adopting y’all which has traditionally been a more Southern thing. I think maybe the media is creating more crossover. But you are right about rural/versus city and accents. Many times rural accents are stronger. I’m currently in the Midwest and I can hear a difference between country and city people.
I heard the stereotype that Brits can drink a lot and even got challenged in pub... I have to admit that Brits got piss drunk but they need just very little alcohol for that... As a Pole that doesn't even drink much, it's pretty funny
"Soccer, for everyone else". Nope. It's football. For instance, all over Latin-America, where the sport is as popular as it is in the UK, we also call it football or, as it's written in Spanish, "fútbol". "Soccer" is only in the US.
Same for former soviet countries- football is football- with the round ball. The other one that is called football in the US, is American football for us. I think I've never heard "soccer" in any other language. And I speak a few of them.
Actually, there are several countries (of which Ireland is one) that use the term soccer: United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Japan, South Africa, South Part Of Philippines, and Papua New Guinea. Also, don't forget that soccer was created by the British, as a shortened version of Associated Football to distinguish it from Rugby Football (ruggers and soccer). Also, soccer is used in a sports show in the UK (Soccer Saturday). So, while the majority of countries use the term "football," many other countries have their own version of football and often use soccer to differentiate it.
Please don’t take all the people say as what everyone from 🇬🇧 or 🇺🇸 (I mean I’m not American so wouldn’t know on that one) is like, or does because both very diverse countries :D
@@JoshHutchersonOfficial Yeah i think these candidates are expressing their own life experience personally... I like to read people and I think you get a pinch of an idea about what and how the culture, etiquettes , might be or in what society that person grew up andd is sharing their thoughts
Spaniard here. 20ºC degrees is still freezing cold for us ;-) Well.. OK, not *that* cold, but still it's an unpleasant temperature in spring or autumn. Definitely, *NOT* for taking your shirt off. Most people here still wearing long sleeves at 25ºC, maybe you start wearing short-sleeved shirts when reaching 29 or 30 degrees. These days we're having very strange weather, the last week we had a storm from the atlantic that brought snow back on the 5th of april, and yesterday 10th of april, a sudden heat wave from Africa. I left home early at 10 AM with jersey and jacket, and had to take them off at 3 PM 'cos the thermometer jumped to 29C degrees (84F)
"Soccer... for everyone else" - I guess you mean, for every American? Football is football rather than soccer to most of the world outside of the US I think? Just thought that was funny lmao.
When australians say football, we generally mean australian rules, not soccer. Some places, people may mean rugby. Although, since it is australia, we don't actually say football. We say footy.
Yeah, cause english is an international language and the most popular 2nd language in non english countries, and football is by far the most popular sport in the world.
@Jessica A Most of the main English-speaking countries (by which I mean countries where English is the main first language rather than a lingua franca)call it soccer: US, Canada, Aus, NZ etc. It's only the Brits who call it football, maybe the Irish... dunno. I do call it soccer deliberately around Brits because it's really cringe how they get so uptight over it. We can call it whatever we want because it's not our (Aus/NZ) main sport and it is seen as a posh/effeminate pastime. It's mainly played by young kids, private-school kids and a handful of immigrant communities here.
The feeling the british girl has about Harry Potter stereotype, it's exatcly the same feeling brazillians feel when people say "Do you speak spanish?" (Because we don't. We weren't colonised by Spain, but Portugal), also "Rio de Janeiro it's the capital ?" NO, IT'S NOT THE CAPITAL. It was before once in a time, but not anymore for a long time ago, And the worst of all: "You don't look like a brazillian." Well, maybe because brazillians are all different from each other. Brazil it's the 5th biggest coutry in world and we do have people from different origin and culture here, europeans, asian, africans, middle east people. So, don't tell a brazillian "he/she doesn't look like a brazillian" we are one of the most mixed countries as USA and Canada are as well.
Não sei o resto do mundo, mas muitos americanos realmente acham que nós falamos espanhol, isso ficou bem claro quando fiz intercâmbio. Mas não os culpo pq todos os nossos vizinhos falam espanhol 🤷♂️
@@arthurmaestrini4350 Acho que fiz esse comentário como um “desabafo”, agora eu nem ligo mais. Países europeus até sabem mais sobre países da América do Sul do que americanos, tem um conhecimento de mundo um pouco melhor eu diria. Eu acabei descobrindo que nos Estados Unidos, eles estudam muito sobre história Norte-americana na escola, como o EUA surgiu, sobre a independência da colonização britânica etc. Mas do que história ou geografia internacional, por isso tem esse pensamento sobre outros países. Por outro lado, isso também faz com que eles sejam até mais nacionalistas que nós brasileiros; isso é algo que eu sinto um pouco de falta no Brasil (tem razões pro e contra em ser mais patriota do que somos). Enfim, na Europa eles estudam um pouco mais sobre outros continentes, mas a maioria definitivamente tem aqueles esteriótipos comuns: Brasil fala espanhol, carnaval, samba, futebol, Rio de Janeiro, praia e sol. Bem, é o que chega pra eles lá 🤷🏻♂️
@@arthurmaestrini4350 Pelo que percebi, você é descendente de alemães/austríacos, algum país de língua germânica. Cara, quando fez intercâmbio, perguntavam a você lá como você poderia ser brasileiro se você é loiro, tem olhos claros e pele clara ? Ocorreu esse tipo de dúvida ? 😂
@@bobovizinhoqueperturba2137 na vdd eu sou uma bela de uma mistura kkkkkk meu avô por parte de mãe é alemão, minha avó é de família metadade espanhola metade indígena, meu avô por parte de pai é neto de italiano e minha avó filha de francês com português kakkakakaka.

As a brit I say gunna and wanna all tike but I think that's because I'm from further north than Cady and I don't say like very often it annoys me when people say like all the time
Scots will say 'Gonnae'(gone-ay), as in "gonnae no dae that", we could also say "i dinnae wannae dae that". "dae" is pronounced just like "day", and means "do". "Wannae" is literally "want to", "Dinnae" means "don't". We use that suffix "ae" a lot, which would be the equivalent of "a". Other examples would include "huvnae" meaning "haven't", "tae" meaning "to", "adae" which generally means "going on", or "the matter with", so could be used to ask "Whit's adae wi ye?", meaning "what's wrong with you?"/"what's the matter with you?".
Hallie here (American girl with the weird cocktail of an accent 🤪) - Thanks for welcoming me to the channel everyone! 🥰 P.S. Guys I live abroad and I'm a huge sports fan, I'm aware most of the world calls it football/fútbol 😅 That was the joke.
I know this older, but I couldn't shake the feeling: You really remind me of Jane Krakowski. With that said, I like the perspective you added. Been binging videos like this one today and it's been fun!
For the "piss drunk" I bet most of that comes from the international students coming back from uni as "alcoholics" compared to their culture back home! 🤣
@@usefulrandom1855 Funny... as I have grown up mainly in a tropical country, I would love the weather to be mild and cold, even rainy most days of the year.
@@sleepyhead6468 Yeah it's true. We actually like it really. It's just a nice treat to have a few weeks of decent sun per year. If we get more than that people start complaining about the heat haha. The vast majority of the year it's a reasonable temp, never too cold really or too hot.
Yay An American Southerner. 😊 Welcome Halle. 🇺🇸 My family is from Alabama so I will claim you as a cuzzin. I like going to Mobile for Mardi Gras. Because of child labor laws and school requirements most movies use older actors. But it’s not uncommon for high school jocks to be built. A lot of teens purposely bulk up. I do think white English people are generally more pale than American white people. . I remember going to London and thinking these are the whitest white people I’ve ever seen in my life. Some looked translucent. In the USA people that shade might get asked if they are ill. May be a combination of sun exposure and genetics because I think Americans tend to have more variety in our DNA with darker Europeans, Indigenous and African. I never read or watched HP either. I wasn’t forbidden just not interested. We Southerners love to chat in the grocery store lines and we say Darlin’ a lot to strangers. I need to go to Northern England next time. I didn’t like the food when I went to the London. But where I’m from we eat a lot of Creole Cajun food so anything that is more on the bland side I don’t like.
I think the color thing probably has more to do with climate/culture than anything. On a genetic level, White Americans don't tend to have any significant Indigenous or African ancestry. Most are basically 100% European. It may also have to do with the diversity of European heritage in the US, like you said.
Talking about Brits and good manners, unfortunately, in our country, if someone mentions British men, the first thought is a dead-drunk guy who's peeing at our freedom statue... This is how British men "behave" themselves as tourists.
@@phenic5761, yes, it sticks. And even if I understand that not every British man is like that, these are those- several, not one- loud cases which make and strengthen the stereotype. And this is why I'd never imagined being with a British guy, it was kind of no-go for me. 😅
@CHRISTIAN KNIGHT, I didn't get the point. I'm not American. What has my comment to do with freedom and fighting? Young British guys often choose our small country as a tourism destination, get here piss drunk and are being rude and disgusting. Not all of them but many enough to build this stereotype. I think you totally misunderstood the meaning of freedom, sorry.
Wow, this was so interesting! I’ve always had a feeling that people from the southern states of the US and Brits go well along, and I think at least this clip kind of confirms it. It seems to be that in the South, there’s a lot of more of traditional ‘Englishness’, more conservative values, and also the way they talk is for some weird reason closer to some kind of generic ‘British’ English, with just a little more polite language. I can’t really define too well what it is, but there’s just something in the culture there that would make these people go along well, and like I said, there just seems to be a natural ‘flow’ between these two women that you rarely see.
I'd say the Northeast is closer actually. Although Northeasterners are a lot more direct, but the accent, culture, and architecture is closer to the UK
Please a girl Britt spoke a little quickle, excusme, my grand grand father come from Ireland to Argentina but speake little bit. Thanks a lot for sharing w us !!!
her mom thinks harry potter has to do with a witch craft?! that couldnt be further from the truth... I wonder what would she do if introduced to actual witchcraft
She herself said that she comes from a region somewhere between Liverpool and Wales. So it's like a mix between those accents and her sing-song-like intonations are because of the Norman Vikings (especially from nowaday's Norway) who lived in that region way back when.
I think restaurant food in England has improved over the years, it's easier to find now. But that's true in the US and many other places also. When I first moved to the US city I live in about 20 years ago, the local cuisine was great but not much variety otherwise and lots of bland places. Not even a good pizza place. But now even fast casual places have better quality food. So I agree it's an old stereotype. My last visit to England the food was wonderful! Also the internet made good food easier to find when traveling compared to the 1990's or earlier.
Much love to my English and Australian homies. I've got a lot of English/Scot/Welsh heritage so I'm always intrigued in how we Americans are different yet similar. It must be the Englishman in me but when I speak I keep the tone monotonous and formal unless I've a reason to be. I'm not the excitable southerner 😂 I say sorry way too much.
2:50 Actually for everyone is *football* Only in America it’s soccer… In every country in the word there is a translation of the term foot-ball Only in America you call football soccer and rugby American football… Why are you calling football a sport played with hands?????? 🤯🤯🤯🤯 🧠 💥
@H in Australia there the *football association of Australia* Maybe they also know the term soccer from the tv etc Also, they call rugby rugby and not American football or Aussie football… ⚽️ football 🏉 rugby In Canada they are very close to the US so it is reasonable! Even though Canada is part of the Commonwealth and they are influenced by England but again, they are neighbours with the US so it make sends why they adopted that wrong term! In Japan they adopt foreigner words to their own. Since football is an English term the Japanese translation is “futtoboru”
@@Kaalyn_HOW football is the sport when 11 men they’re kicking a ball with their feet! 1+1=2 Feet and ball = football Both rugby and “American football” are played mostly with hands! This ball 🏈 is used in Rugby and American football. This ball ⚽️ is used in normal worldwide football. You kick once the ball with your foot and then the whole game is played with hands… This is NOT football. In football ⚽️ the players are not allowed to touch the ball with their hands, that’s why is called foot-ball! *LOGIC* Apparently, “Americans” created this “American football” inspired by rugby!
I don’t think she meant that USA are the only ones that have school team sports, I think she meant it as there’s not as much of a variety in high schools or enthusiasm to a certain extent.
Yeah, that's obviously not true. It's way more serious though with actual sports leagues and huge stadiums at the school grounds etc. It's a huge industry. School sports in most other countries is just friendly games lmao.
@@thespankmyfrank okay but you didn’t prove your point, plus did you even watch the part where she asked? She clearly thought the UK didn’t do sports at school because she was like “at school?”
@@JoshHutchersonOfficial Did you watch the part where she asked “do you guys have it?” It was a question not an assumption. Actually I’ve heard some Brits say the school sports aren’t as supported there as they tend to be in the US. It’s common for Americans to go watch high school games even if they don’t have kids playing because we like to support our alma matters. We show high school game highlights on the local news. And the radio stations will broadcast high school games live with announcers. Do they do that in the UK?
@@thespankmyfrank In the USA we have sports leagues but they are separate from schools and typically use facilities that belong to the city or county, not the school. One difference with leagues is you have to pay whereas with most school sports, the school district pays for uniforms, travel and on so. That’s why with certain sports it’s harder to get super good early on if your parents don’t have money because you have to wait until at least junior high to start playing on organized teams whereas other kids have been playing since age four. A lot of leagues ask local businesses to sponsor the teams to offset some of the expenses. Now I was a high school cheerleader and my school didn’t pay for our uniforms or anything. Same with the dance team.
Re: cousin marriage: I remember one dude being Very Online by ranting about the classism involved in making jokes about inbred rural white Americans, which is a valid criticism and one I happen to agree with. But dude then he went and got an own goal by saying that sexual and romantic options are often very limited in those areas so marrying your first cousin may be your best choice. As far as the laws go: second cousin marriage or further distant is legal basically everywhere, as it's only in the case of recurring marriages between first cousins that consanguinity becomes a public health issue.
@gerard dearie Defensive much? 😬 That’s awesome that they have a woman who is Scottish of Asian decent. Many of the videos I have seen are not POC, and I like to learn from all perspectives. And as we know both Europe and the US are quite diverse so they have many narratives that influence the greater social culture.
The day World Friends goes woke, is the day I unsubscribe. World Friends has had many nonwhite women from America and Europe on before, but race never came up, because there's nothing unfriendlier than a discussion about race, controversy and the politics of division. I think I speak for most of World Friends' audience when I say we want to keep things light and friendly. Plenty of other channels out there cater to your politics.
Look man, you’re entitled to your opinion as I am. We come from very different cultures that shape our world views. I want to hear as many people’s stories to learn, as many have not always been heard. I don’t minimize the POV of the two lovely people in the video. Disagree with me and make your informed guesses 🙂 Your opinion of me and my background don’t hold any weight for me.

I’m free to share my view on this public platform just as you are, and as such I’ll keep doing so. Feel free to comment back though, but I’m not on YT all the time, so I may have forgotten this conversation when I return. In the meantime, you keep fighting for your opinion 😉
There’s usually some truth to stereotypes, finding out how much truth there is to it is key. Notice I said usually, be kind when responding to my comment.

Do many Brits say the word 'like' every other word? I thought that was an American phenomenon. "A lot of the guys would be...like..." "And then I was, like...." And compared to America, like..." - I'm quite grateful that I didn't grow up in an English speaking country, I would get nervous of all the 'likes' 😂
@@charlienerd of course, I don't hate people who are saying that, but I think it's rather annoying. I think it 'pollutes' the language, since it's a useless word.
We have plenty of sports, so wide a range in fact that our male sports athletes don't need to bulked to stupidity to enable a good ability at most of them. Hence we don't need to look like a brick wall to perform well.
C'mon Hallie, y'all gotta give us that beautiful 'Bama accent. The Harry Potter bit does say she's from the South. Most of us in the Midwest would let the child go see the movie, and then we'd have a little conversation afterwards about fantasy vs. reality. Hopefully, when I ask the child what they got out of the movie, I'll hear something like "Most of the bad wizards aligned with Voldemort out of fear. Harry shows courage by standing up for his friends even when they're temporarily unpopular." Then I'll know they were paying attention, and hopefully they've also learned that cursing someone that offended you with a nasty rash isn't a solution to the problem the two of you are having. If I don't hear something along those lines, we'll be having a longer conversation.
I'm gonna start this by saying I'm a Floridian. I never had that conversation with my parents. I guess it just depends on the person though. Any movie that i watched that my parents wanted me to learn something from was never really liked by me. I avoided a lot of kids shows because of that too. At most, i'd watch a show that teaches another language like Dora. I've always loved movies with any type of action sequence. I honestly think i never had that conversation because they always found some way to make me hate the antagonist. As long as I understood who the bad guys were then i was good to go. I also never really copied anything from tv so i was allowed to watch more than other kids.
Lol, if Cady thinks British food is good, she should travel to southern Europe… Spain, Italy, Greece. Her mind will explode. British food indeed sucks, and I live in London.
"Like", blah blah "Like", blah "Like", blah - and that's from the British girl! Shows what a ridiculous impact US television and internet videos has on the UKs speech.
Legal to marry 3rd cousins in Alabama? I knew a great man, now passed away, who lived in Florida when I knew him but was from Alabama. He was married practically all his life from an early age to his double first cousin. None of his children had birth defects although a double first cousin is practically the same genetically as a full sibling. I think they are more genetically related than to a half sibling. At any rate, the increased likelihood of congenital defects from marriage to first cousins is exaggerated. Therefore I think the stigma and illegality in some states is unfortunate. I know of people who lived in my community who adored one another and would have, but for stigma and illegality would have married. They enjoyed each other's company for years. Our ideas against incest come from the Bible, except that the Bible does not for forbid the marriage of first cousins, but forbids closer relations whether by affinity or consanguinity. For purposes of law I therefore think the marriage of first cousins should not be forbidden to prevent birth defects, though there may be heightened risk of birth defects if families keep marrying first cousins generation after generation as Europeans royals were wont to do as well as royals of many other cultures worldwide.
Definitely! Toad in the hole, shepherd's pie, bubble and squeak, fish and chips, chip butty... No wonder every Brit I know has some sort of food allergy (or is an extremely picky eater). They're not used to a varied diet.
Agreed. I think it depends how you define 'British', though. A lot of defensive people refer to food in Britain generally, rather than just traditional British food. Our traditional food is bland af!
Most teenagers in American films probably look bigger because they’re played by 30-year-old actors. 😂 But yeah, I think the guys I grew up with were also fairly used to some form of manual labor, which would account for some of the thickness. And 100% on the sports. Not just playing sports, but (especially with football) there’s an emphasis on bulking up so their size/stats help them to get recruited to colleges.
Oh yeah that's actually a really good point about aiming for colleges. They're not only a bigger deal here as sports themselves but often the only way many could ever *get* an education. English university just doesn't have that as a concern.
@@Kaalyn_HOW That’s definitely a part of it for many, but college sports are a celebrity culture of their own. So even when the financial part doesn’t play a role, I think there would still be a big drive to play at that level.
Yo American teenagers are no different most of them are normal looking teenage dudes it's just that Netflix makes you think teenagers in America are buff and hardcore gym fanatics.
