Yankin' it in Europe: An American Guide to Studying Abroad (London, England, UK)

[jackmcd277]

He should go to Brixton, he will either Die a horible death,

or he will never, ever, ever, ever come to europe again.

[artifex85]

@jackmcd277 I've been to Brixton- I didn't die a horrible death (but someone did ice skate over my hand) and I did come to Europe again.

[artifex85]

@LetsSaveTheRepublic Its normal as long as it doesn't last more than 12 hours. If so, then you should immediately go to your nearest ER.

[mightyscar1]

whats with the fake british accents im from london NO ONE talks like that they sound really posh and stupid every city has there own accent

[artifex85]

@mightyscar1 ...there weren't any fake accents in this...these are all actual English people

[mightyscar1]

@artifex85 ive never met anyone who sounds like that they might have been really posh but other than that i dont know why there talking like that

[TheRushingWind]

@Faggit2612 1. I mentioned words, not spelling. If you say dog when you mean cat, those are different words, not different spellings of the same word - 'your' and 'you're' are different WORDS with entirely different meanings. It's not ridiculous to call someone stupid - it IS ridiculous if you do that whilst looking stupid yourself, as you have no room to talk. Pot. Kettle. Black.

[TheRushingWind]

@Faggit2612 1. As is obvious to anyone who makes use of a brain, I only posted that reply because it's ridiculous to call someone stupid whilst looking stupid yourself. 2. I said NOTHING about spelling - as is also obvious.

[TheUltimateQais]

Hah is he serious with the title?

[TheRushingWind]

@Faggit2612 before you call someone else an idiot, you should make sure you use the right words in your comment. Such as 'you're'.

[granddad2002]

I was scared as a child... because I'd watch,'Monty Python's Flying Circus'... and I didn't get any of the jokes. Benny Hill made more senses.... And I love 'Outnumbered'. Still, I'm confused. Maybe when we engineer a bullet train from New York to London, this should help. George Bernard Shaw was right,'Two peoples separated by a common language.'

[bulavo]

lol hes talking like UK is Europe, the worst place to go if you want to "see" Europe!

[artifex85]

@bulavo Well, true, the UK (well, at least London) is the most "American" of all the European countries, but it is still part of Europe and there are many cultural and historical differences which are pretty intriguing.

[mightyscar1]

@artifex85 

[Brattt0010]

@artifex85 Clearly neither of you have ever been to Madrid.

[court922010]

The Monopoly money may be worth more, but when you count a lot of European countries inflation rates, the United States` is worth more. Also, it`s way more expensive to live in NYC, than London. I know from experience. As of lately, the American Stock Market is doing great, our economy is greatly improving..

[court922010]

You are very cute.[=

I`m an American, so proud of it. I don`t know why people call us Americans` actually. Technically Canada and of course all of the countries in South America, are Americans. We are United Stat(ians)? Anyway, I`m 19 but I studied abroad last year because I finished highschool two years early.. I love Iceland, Wales and of course, England. I never got the hang of the money... Lol.

[daisyrios101]

Lol. What do we have to be thankful for? - great video. :D

[localdriver]

I wish more Americans would come and visit and see the UK for themselves. Have a nice stay!

[artifex85]

@localdriver Thank you! It was an awesome experience :D

[MrMonkeyman2121]

why are we insulting the people America?

well i think we all agree at least that both our governments are stupid

[Gabbo2010]

Hhahahah Moron. Should have went to Australia. And that monopoly money is worth more than yours. Idiot.

[bwhitbourn]

yeh...bet u been 'yankin it in london' haha!!

[artifex85]

@bwhitbourn I'm going to plead the 5th on this one...

[CallumJ230]

Too all people who havent been too UK, it doesnt rain all the time. it is hot in the summer( people always look at the UK as permanently cold and rainy). food and people are nice(unless you meet chavs) and the UK is fucking awesome!

[MerryMuppets]

haha, 0:46 - look right dumbass!!! lmfao

[Unit06JAW]

Yosh

[summernd]

I guess I'm just an idiot American that actually got this type of HUMOR... playing off stereotypes etc... You know, a few have commented that we're loud, obnoxious etc and that you proved that with this video- well, I think of Europeans as whiny, overly sensitive, cant take a fucking joke etc, and some of them have proved that with their comments

[artifex85]

@summernd I understand what you're saying, but let's not stoop down to anyone's level by dishing out similar jabs. :)

[summernd]

@artifex85 ah haha well you can take the high road but my granny always told me to "fight fire with fire" :)

[Unit06JAW]

@summernd I'm a euro and for a large part I would agree with your comment. Save the joke part.

We can take jokes dude ^.~

[Unit06JAW]

Rugby is better!

American football is boring as fuck to watch your watching commericlas not footie.

[artifex85]

@Unit06JAW To quote the great Ron Burgundy, "Agree to disagree."

[Unit06JAW]

@artifex85 I would go to a American football game. Looks like awesome fun. I would just never ... ever watch it on TV.

Just a flippin waste of time would in a bar tho i suppose.

[summernd]

@Unit06JAW I will agree here, if I went there, 90% of my motive would be to watch a rugby game even as much as I love the NFL.

[NaimaLynn10]

it breaks my heart when i hear that people do not like americans because of the stereotypes that are associated with us. i absolutely adore europe. i just wish people wouldn't be so harsh. that being said, i do know plenty of ignorant people who just so happen to be american. there will always be dumbass people in the world, and you should never judge others based off of one bad encounter. ok...i'll get down off my soap box now:)

[StudentEntrepreneur]

I find it amazing how many people on the itnernet struggle to take a joke.

[kinkaid25]

He sounds like pee wee herman and a full head on child molester.

[MrsJazmineGill]

Haha so true. Not from London but pretty close and Rugby is defiantly better than American footie :P

[Nihilanth1982]

rudlington, i agree. americans piss me off. they come here and act all surprised that for some reason its not the same as their own socially backward nation. their tourists piss me off. my best friends from germany and she got grief from this yank whilst at uni. after a few warnings i went to london to straighten this stupid american motherfucker out. i gave that bastard the beating of his life and i think he got educated more in that period than he ever did in a lecture room.

[StupidPunkAss]

1:03 Im sorry, not to be mean, I feel sympathy for the guy losing his arm, really. But when he waves it around and starts counting with it, it sort of made me giggle.

[mariotaz]

@StupidPunkAss

Haha same. As long as it was intentional XD

[wrightstateboy45]

i'm american and have nothing but respect for the british. i'm one of the few americans who can actually admit that our country is fucked up and isn't all it's cracked up to be. do i love being an american yes...however i'm not proud of the way we handle some things!

[Nihilanth1982]

@wrightstateboy45 good to see that some good americans exist. its also hard to find people refer to our country as the UK (as its said here) as opposed to the old reference of 'england' (which is state level, now).

[lordofwrath88]

It seems odd that Americans and British can do nothing but look at how different they are, when they actually have so much in common. Hell most Americans have English, Scottish, Irish or Weslh heratige.

I think England's still mad that Americans took the only good sport they invented, changed it into a new game, called the old one soccer and then proceeded to suck at it.

While Americans can't take British people seriously after seeing Mr. Bean

[rudlington]

@lordofwrath88 You didnt invent the term Soccer - it was called that before it was called Football see how ignorant you lot are. You lot are so thick you call a game predominantly played with the arms/hands 'FOOTball' ha ha, idiots. Your bunch of gays run around wearing lycra, padding and helmets, look at British Rugby players and Aussie Rules, real men, with cauliflower ears to prove it. 1 of a million reasons the rest of the world laughs at the USA, you so brainwashed by tv u dont even know it

[lordofwrath88]

@rudlington. Rugby being for real men... who is smarter? the knight who goes into battle with armor or the knight who goes into battle with a t-shirt? While your guys have cauliflower ears and no teeth, ours have college degrees and go on to be lawyers, doctors and business owners after retirement.  (Its called football cause you take the ball in your arms.... AND RUN WITH YOUR FEET!) you can play football (soccer) with no arms but you cant play football (american) with no legs

[rudlington]

@lordofwrath88 thats fucking hilarious! Youve made my day! "you can play football (soccer) with no arms but you cant play football (american) with no legs" ha ha ha. What a comment, that really is special. Haha haha. Jesus Christ, what the fuck is that about.

What are you on about with the Knights thing, i was comparing 2 sports. How the hell did you get onto the knights?? Yours have college degrees cos they get funded for being good at sport, they dont become dr's they murder their wives

[MTWyouth]

@rudlington You didn't understand the knight analogy? What an idiot.

[LordSoundtrack]

@rudlington I'm gonna agrww with 88 on this one. NCAA athletes get degrees for being good at their sports but are still going to top of the line universities. They do become Doctors, Sports analysts, commentators, attorneys, teachers and endless other things Every player in the NFL has spent 2 or 3 years at least at a University taking classes, reading books and studying so they can keep their football scholarships.

[rudlington]

@LordSoundtrack they go to 'top line' universities cos the uni's want good sports teams, nowt to do with academic ability

[lordofwrath88]

@rudlington kinght with armor (american football). Knight with no armor (rugby). Gosh, i thought brits where smarter than that. I've used that comparison with South Africans, Australians and Canadians and they all got it. (or is it just this brit?)

[rudlington]

@lordofwrath88 ha ha, yeah your analogy went right over my head, it was so clever i didnt get it. FFS, my point was it isnt really an analogy that works you nob. In rugby BOTH teams go 'into battle' wearing t-shirts. In american football BOTH teams go 'into battle' wearing gay hot pants and padding. Your analogy presumes that 1 side wear ARMOUR and the other doesnt, in which case it would work. But clearly it doesnt. Anyway, im stll laughing about your legs and arms comment, fuckin class!

[lordofwrath88]

@rudlington um.... yes it does. Americans wear protective gear so they aren't vegetables when they are 40. the other side DOESN'T wear anything other a useless helmet, shirt and shorts and a mouth peace. if you call football gay then you have to concede that rugby is equally gay, both sports involve men ramming them selves into each other and stick heads up bums. I much prefer soccer. USA!! Onyewu and Tim Howard will shut England DOWN! one goal from Rooney and that'll be all!

[rudlington]

@lordofwrath88 No it doesnt u useless prick. As for shutting England down. Even with the England side plagued by injuries I dont think that will happen. Yanks dont 'get' football, end of. You come to a proper match in England, theres no bullshit, just hooligans kicking shit out of each other, pubs rammed with supporters and the best league in the world. In america its all false with stupid commentators, bent rules and the usual razmataz crap that gives u lot hard-ons and keeps the fans awake.

[lordofwrath88]

@rudlington Sorry but a bunch of marys walking on a to a field while fans coked out of their minds is something i'd gladly trade in for the pageantry, sportsmanship and family atmosphere of American athletics. here we believe in passion as well as civility. Our most heated and hate filled rivalries involve fans who sit in the same stadium without armored cops between them. As far as yanks not "getting" football, Everton, Fulham, and Rangers fans might have different opinions.

[rudlington]

@lordofwrath88 If our players are 'marys' then why is it that we have the best league in the world, who cares about the usa league? no-one this side of america i can tell you that much. U try to find a usa eague match broadcast anywhere but america. 1 or 2 players doesnt mean that americans get football and the fans of everton etc would agree with me 100% - FACT! USA sport is cack, no-one other than u care about it. Ur baseball WORLD series involves 1 country - ur a joke to everyone but urselves

[lordofwrath88]

@rudlington I'm failing to believe that anyone is this dim-witted. I'm going to go out on a limb and say most British people are not such blatant racists and closeminded fools.

[Nightwalkboy]

@lordofwrath88 From Scotland and yes, a good deal of the English are hard headed, stubborn backwards rubbish. Here is something to keep in mind. the people of Ireland and Scotland will be rooting you on to knock of the three lions. When the USA faces England 50% of Britain will not be cheering for England. (Funny sign from Rangers; game: Beasley Is Our King)

[silentkiller078]

@Nightwalkboy shut up a shave your mono-brow before England sends a nuke to your village

[rudlington]

@lordofwrath88 how can you call me dim-witted, i have put my point across far more eloquently than you, i add a bit of humour, irony and abuse for good measure. I should have realised that you wouldnt get it

My points are valid, you have presented no defence to them so they stay valid. Seriously tho, only in america would a 'world' series only involve themselves, thats just fucking hilarious. Check out the 'al murray on americans' vid on utube - hes a brit comic, not the best but worth a look

[lordofwrath88]

rudlington cool! now i can add deluded

[TheIceman567]

@rudlington Two countries you jackass one Canada has won it.

[rudlington]

@lordofwrath88 My comment about USA razmataz stil stands. With u lot its al about the bullshit. Style over substance you might say but to everyone but u the style is corny, cheesy and tacky. Cheerleaders, helmets, padding, walkie talkies, fireworks, crap singing, infomercials, blah blah blah. U lot think you live in a movie. Ur all so animated all the time. Basically what im saying is Americans are all talk and no trousers. Ur the butt of the rest of the worlds jokes, so u pretend it doest exist

[TheIceman567]

@rudlington Good thing you don't speak for all of England i'll be heading there soon.

[charlieiscool1000]

No we are competely Different and theres no such thing as rugby football Rugby is a much tougher and better game Americans have a competely different culture and British people are Nothing like them at all the americans dont even speak English they speak American English and start re naming things like soccer etc that pisses alot of ppl off btw we invented the game and its called Football soccer isnt even a sport Lol

[logsandswirls]

@lordofwrath88 so true, nice to see people like you on youtube

[CallumJ230]

@lordofwrath88 haha i think it works both way, the amount of fast food retaraunts usa has invented makes us all think you lot are super fat

[lordofwrath88]

@CallumJ230 so true. We like to think about it like this... is there any other nation on earth, where even the poorest are fat?

[CallumJ230]

@lordofwrath88 haha lol some poorer people here are fat?

[mightyscar1]

@lordofwrath88 well its not just english welsh and irish people in england thers all sorts of people of diffrent races and styles

[DemocraticTwang]

I dont know what's stuck up your ass, maybe you should get a checkup.

[steve789abc]

Great videos! Hoped u enjoyed your time in the U.K.

[rudlington]

in general no one in England likes the americans, they are loud, brash, ignorant, fat and talk shit all the time.

Americans come to England and are amazed at the fact that we have our own currency, drive on the left, speak properly and are intelligent with an excellent sense of humour.

Americans are dull and cant hold down an educated conversation without 'infomercials' and a hot dog. Its stereotypical but they really are a nation of lazy, fat pigs. No one wants u in England

[artifex85]

I was going to grace your comment with an equally stupid reply, but I decided to take the moral high road and just note to everyone out there:

Not everyone is like rudlington. Most, if not all, of the people that I met during all of my European travels were extremely nice and welcoming- in short, some of the best people I have ever met. So, do not let people like rudlington scare you away from studying or traveling abroad.

[TheIceman567]

@artifex85 Great comment mate.

[rudlington]

@artifex85 London is only a small part of England, where many people are tourists or immigrants so dont really represent the English. Until you have lived and worked amongst the English in the other cities and towns then you cannot claim im wrong as you have no experience of the everyday English people. Just read your comments and look at the other videos. Americans are ok in their home country, to a degree, but they do not travel well. Bloated, greedy, self important, under educated plebs. TBH

[TheIceman567]

@rudlington wow you just showed me tyour a kid hey kiddo i think your Xbox is called you sonny jim.

[rudlington]

@TheIceman567 Ladies and Gentlemen, witness the American wit and humour at its best. Very good Thelceman567, that was very funny and cleverly constructed comment that really put me in my place

[TheIceman567]

@rudlington I know it did. Paki.

[rudlington]

@TheIceman567 Ooh, Paki. Very good, youve upped the stakes to calling me a paki, how funny, what next? mum jokes? Go on, that will be funny and very clever. Then you'll really have put me in my place

[TheGamer770]

@rudlington Yes another wasted Paki in this country how sad. Don't you have to go and blow something up Paki?

[Fitzzz15]

@rudlington We could say the same thing about you. My friend lives in a small town in England and says the same thing about your people

[electrolyteKaosiz]

@artifex85 oh I already know I was raised in the hood of south sacramento cali.I deal with bitch made punks like him all the time,just not the discriminatory bid.im talking about blatant disrespect..

nevertheless im still travel to uplift the soul and put a seal and a starter for my broad horizons

peace.

[DeJaVu921]

@artifex85 Ya know if you don't want people like rudlington saying what he did then maybe you shouldn't make a video with a constant stream of insults towards Britain... You made yourself seem like a stereotypical American. Ignorant and rude.

[artifex85]

@DeJaVu921 Clearly playing the stereotypical American to get a cheap laugh was not a good idea...bah. Sorry this one came off this way to you and that you interpreted it the wrong way.

After reading these previous comments, it looks like we've devolved into the "England vs. America" thing. Maybe I should just pull this one video off....

[DeJaVu921]

@artifex85 Naw don't pull it off. I was just being OTT. Haha sorry mate. Forget me ^_^

[miiwiiplay]

what american ACTUALLY thinks like that? thats a stereotype. If anyone is ignorant here, its you.

[rudlington]

@miiwiiplay

errrm, the one who posted the video you nob! he is amazed we drive on the left and have our own currency, fucking idots your one cent is called a penny after our currency. So that makes you ignorant.

Before you respond - take the hot dog out of your mouth, put your super size coke down, wipe your fingers - dont lick them!.Then spend a moment contemplating and realise that you are wrong and then carry out stuffing your face and polishing you gun..ahem!

[DemocraticTwang]

Come on now, not all of us are that way, and we could say the same damn thing about some of you.

[rudlington]

@DemocraticTwang.

Yes you are and no you couldnt.

[davazno1]

English are way more dumb and educated by Tv than americans , also , english don't know shiit about other people except theirs . And as everyone agrees , Uk is just another american colony .

[rudlington]

@davazno1 Theres a reason you bunch of cunts speak English (although a deformed and bastardised version) English - most widely spoken language in the World, whys that then? - EMPIRE All this shit you yanks come out about Obama and health care, slagging off our NHS. You bunch of cretinous, plebs. Free health care for everyone, 62 years later you fat twats catch up with us. FFS your still castrating every male baby. Your backwards, go eat some sqeezy cheese on your hot dog you thick bunch of dogs

[davazno1]

You see how ignorant you are , i'm not american , i'm european from Romania . Everyone speaks English because it's a universal language , 2000 ago latin was a universal language and now it is extinct , when chinese will become the dominant language we will learn it and thats it , it's quite simple .

[rudlington]

@davazno1 Ha! as you typed in English and didnt tell me you were from a trampy Romanian shit hole ruled by Muslims clearly im not ignorant. English is a universal language FOR A REASON thicko Latin was never 'universal' as cross country communication wasnt necessary. Chinese is to different from the majority of other languages. English was given to the Americas, Carribean, Australia, India, parts of Africa and localities. Thats why English is spoken so widely.....you ignorant cunt

[davazno1]

Latin was spoken from Romania to Spain and from London to Damascus , considering the percentage of people who spoke latin (besides their own language) you could easily count it as a universal language . The same thing happened to english , it became spoken it the former territories of the empire . Do you actually know where ROmania is ? We don't have muslims , 97% are christians (orthodox) . Uk , Denmark , France , etc are becoming muslim at a fast rate.

[pluto4847]

@davazno1

You get good and bad in the UK and America. I am an American who has seen the best and worst of both countries. I wouldn't say one is better than the other. America has more opportunity, but England has its benefits.

As you can imagine, I feel pulled by both cultures.

[severnaya3]

@davazno1 .. i think your the only person?

[miiwiiplay]

your an idiot... can you say "generalization"?

[pluto4847]

@rudlington

That's an overgeneralization. I am an American and my wife is English.

I worked in England so I do admit the English are hard workers. I am not discounting that. Americans work hard too. They may not work as hard as the English, but we are hard workers--definately not lazy. We just have different cultures.

[TheIceman567]

@rudlington Coming from a guy who's never been to America.

[rudlington]

@TheIceman567 been 3 times nobhead

[TheIceman567]

@rudlington I know lots of people that want me in England you pussy! Go back to your Xbox Sonny Jim.

[rudlington]

@TheIceman567 no you dont. You dont even know lots of people, those you do know dont want you cos your a bit of a gay

[Nihilanth1982]

@rudlington you are absolutely 100% spot on. dont let others change your views.

[jk2008jk]

@rudlington I can hardly be bothered to type this because clearly you're an asshole but in view of the fact I like Americans, im going to. What a stupidly ignorant comment of yours that was. Americans are more welcome in England than just about anyone else I can think of. Do the world a favour and go back to sleep.

[Fitzzz15]

@rudlington No one wants u in the US either ass-hole

[toweronepower]

If British money is Monopoly money what is american money? Toilet paper?

[artifex85]

hah, with the economy the way it is, then yep

but in that case I'd rank toilet paper higher simply because its a whole lot softer :)

[toweronepower]

ha Before the economy went sour the Pound was worth EVEN more than is now compared to the Dollar.

[artifex85]

yeah...after a while I stopped converting pounds to dollars simply because it depressed me too much...

[Citadel20]

@toweronepower No, that would the peso.

[Fitzzz15]

@toweronepower It's the toilet paper i wiped the gizz off your mother's tits asshole

[toweronepower]

@Fitzzz15 Lol Bitter yank haha

[TheIceman567]

Hey man how do the people of London feel about Americans and America?

[artifex85]

Well, my friends were all English and they seemed to like me just fine.

[TheGamer770]

You should really think about removing sonnyreddevils comments mate he's nothing but a waste.

[bostjanjaksa]

i live in europe ;)

[artifex85]

I loves it!

[SunRiseLowTide]

You are really funny mate.

Great videos, enjoy your stay in Europe.

Just don't forget to leave a tip.

[artifex85]

Thank you very much!

[CrusadeForTruth]

Please ignore sonnyreddevil, i'm english, I like your videos and I love America.

[artifex85]

Thank you very much! I greatly appreciate it.

Yeah, it's kind of sad...but I do love the people here and I'm having a blast. I'm definately going to be sad when I leave.

Thanks again and have a great day (and thanks for tolerating my nation!)!

[sonnyreddevil69]

well fuck off out my country then u homo

[artifex85]

Sweet! My first uninformed/hateful comment! w00t!

[sonnyreddevil69]

not really,u can stay.just dont start inbreeding,i know what u americans are like

[artifex85]

Hmm...my entire series is a humorous series about me studying abroad while poking fun at myself along the way. I'm actually really enjoying your country and most of the people in it. All of my British friends who have been watching and keeping up with my series have loved it and think its hilarious.

It's sad that you're resorting to silly comments about "American inbreeding". Oh well, I'll enjoy London nonetheless.

[sonnyreddevil69]

no your taking the piss but just in a sly way for the american people who watch the video.your a fucking fag.

[artifex85]

Well, I'm sorry you're misunderstanding my videos

Have a great day.

[sonnyreddevil69]

whatever cock jockey

[TheGamer770]

You really are a moron sonnyreddevil just i kid i take it. This lad can stay for as long as he likes.

[sonnyreddevil69]

@TheGamer770 lolplease dont cry

[TheGamer770]

Oh i'm not sweetness.

[borntobelegend]

i want to go to england full time do u know where i can get info

[onearmedbandit86]

lmao I forgot about this... good job, Rob.

Though disappointed you didn't help me with my shopping today. It was really difficult to do, being all one-handed. :(

[artifex85]

Yeah sorry about that...two of my friends are in town and we were touristing it up. Tomorrow we head off to Paris. However, next weekend we'd probably be up for some drinking with some real Englishmen.

[GordonEdward]

Damn communist!

[Ecyrus]

Ha - I had an advanced screening of this commercial!

[worldismarble]

Hey Rob!  fun times : )
