British vs French stereotypes - Yougov poll shows we're still chalk and cheese

[rdhartley13]

ok british were the powerfulist country in the world france retreat in every war i really want a war beetwen france and england wont last a minute

[Camarale]

@rdhartley13

France retreated in every war ? I suggest you to open the right history books before to spread your craps.French military history, through 1500 years is probably more filled with victoies than defeats Main WW1 battles were won by the French, like Verdun in 1916,which is considered as the greatest battle ever by historians.You're the typical brainwashed Briton chav,who always retain the 1940 French defeat,who was an accident. Russians were overcrushed by Nazis.Ignorant clown. .

[Ikemyhorse]

really? English are rude? How many English people have you met and where were they from? Because yes some Americans are rude but not all so quit saying that

[ryakoasakora]

@Ikemyhorse Chavs, the bane of my existance, it's justified.

[LullabyOfZombie]

French are hot, PERIOD

[swfearth]

At least one French stereo type is true, the French don't help others , specially in Paris. Is the English arrogant ? i think yes . Is the American fat ? yes ( but the Brit is getting there ) . About the American is so proud of their country . Can you tell me one country where people there are not proud of where they are from ? None of this really matter in real life thought ;)

[willsmackyoudown]

@swfearth

We are fat? Yet somehow we have 2,000 + olympic gold medals. That's called stereotyping.. I could say all French men are fairies and you obviously can't fight cause you never win wars.

[MrH1tler]

hahah we beat france everytime in battle!!!

[jeffkodiac]

@MrH1tler

Perhaps in your propaganda .

[MrH1tler]

@jeffkodiac its true eg waterloo or agincore

[jeffkodiac]

@MrH1tler

It's true that you are defeated at Patay or Hasting .

[WafunSk8]

@MrH1tler jawohll mein fuhrer

[MrH1tler]

@WafunSk8 lol juden!

[jervishful]

(i'm french)

It's simple: for french, froggy, cheese, snail, women ugly and very hairy and others maybe i think

for british: your cook is realy bad, rosbeef ( i don't know why) and english peaople are rude

but stereotype it's realy stupid!!

closed mind

[swfearth]

@jervishful for stereo type speaking , the French are rude epecially Parisien , the French girls are pretty .

[Isis8Granada]

hum...il ne faut pas croire a tout ces stéréotypes!

certains français sont arrogants mais pas tous!

certains anglais ont une très mauvaise dentition mais pas tous!

certains américains sont gros et fière de leur pays mais pas tous!

...etc etc

je ne vais pas vous sortir tous les stéréoptypes du monde mais voila!

personnellement j'aime les américains,anglais,allemands,.­.etc et je ne crois pas aux stéréotypes car CHAQUE PERSONNE EST DIFFERENTE!!!=)

[AmaoNoBolso]

But Paris doesent represent France, there is France and there is Paris. ;p

[TheTatmeister]

I dont hate the French,I,just like the rest of the world,just like to piss you off :)

[RovexHD]

@Camarale Don't twist my words to fit your purposes. I said the Parisienne metro is beleaguered by homeless people not the city. Unlike in France, we actually care about health and safety - French couldn't (unsurprisingly) give a toss and you've yet to come to firms with that.

[CptFlasheart]

the English are a bit of a compromise between Germanic over the top function and efficiency and french flair and sophistication...with a touch of madness thrown in...

[Loctambule]

England is always in search for a fight, but... They feel so alone on their island away from the "Continent", but frankly French don't care anymore about he english, sorry but you became a small dot on a big map!

[TheTatmeister]

@Loctambule

Actually no were not,were actually having a laugh,but then you French dont have a sense of humour. Also,England is not an Island,Great Britain is. Plus we are richer than you,and still have our triple AAA rating!

[jeffkodiac]

@TheTatmeister

Lol only a disturbed arrogant kid like you can be sure tthat the UK will always keep its triple A .

[Camarale]

@TheTatmeister

You make me laugh with your AAA rating craps. The French don't give a shit of all these bullshits coming from fake agency dictatorship. And come in the south of France to see what means rich. Your London show off clowns are a joke. And yes, asshole, France is bigger than Germany or Japan. Almost twice. Open dictionnaries to fill your empty brain. Most of the French don't give a shit of your foggy crappy shithole , full of beer vomiters and boasting clowns. Fag.

[TheTatmeister]

@Camarale

Actually,the south of Britain has Palm Trees,look up Cornwall. Germany is better than France and you know it. It rains a lot in France. French people are rude and ugly! Your Bankrupt,get over it!!!!

[Camarale]

@TheTatmeister

If you like so much Germans, go to suck German coks in Berlin, loser. During the campaign of France, German troops captured a British officer in the northern French city of Oignies, on 25 May 1940, attached him on a chair, poured him with petrol, and burned him alive. Yes, sure, Germany is better than France, douchebag.

[Loctambule]

@TheTatmeister

No, no.. J'ai vécu suffisamment longtemps dans ton pays pour savoir que vous vous y faites chier grave sur votre petite ile. Vous rêvez des grands espace que nous avons!

Par contre laissez l’Écosse s'en aller, elle n'en peut plus de voir vos petites gueules mesquines et avec elle partira le pétrole... Rhoo à poil les anglais! :)

[TheTatmeister]

Im not English im Welsh. Only 33% of Scottish people want independence. On our little Island we have discovered Televsisions,Radios,DNA,Blood Tranfusions,the World Wide Web,Lightbulbs,Jet Engines,Antiseptic,Microwaves,­Tyres,Bridges and the first Police force. What has your shithole ever done for the world. Why would we be jealous of you French fucks? you are rude,you have shit cities and your are bankrupt! Fuck the French!

[Loctambule]

Welsh? c'est quoi ça? Haa.. the ones that the Londoners call slow minded peasants?

[Loctambule]

0.1% of what you're saying is true, you are irelevant, go to school!! The only think that is bankrupt with you it's intellect oups! another think that you don't know about :)

[Freez57fr]

@TheTatmeister

You rage because we fucked you in the ass (you and your Engaylish masters) in the rugby world cup.

[lilyeve222]

The title of this video should be English not British, since there's no Scottish or Welsh being interviewed, and the differences concern the English and the French.

[GodsSuck]

I dont hate the french, I did laugh earlier today when they lost their AAA credit rating.... hard times france :)

Come and cheers yourselfs up frenchies at our olympics, cash them POS Euros in and they will exchange them for some real money for you guys to spend while you're over here. :D

[luclafor]

That's bullshit. We the french couldn't care less about the english. It seems that frenchbashing is an english national sport, or should we say anglosaxons.

[TheTatmeister]

@luclafor

French Bashing is a World sport :)

[05HK09]

The French really are up their own arse

[gwegz]

Well i think England and France are rivals (i can't say "enemies" now) because they are equal and with the same pride to be what they are.

They're both great countries with ancient cultures.

I loke england, i love english people, and i guess its also because i'm french (so, by the way, please excuse my awfull english).

God save the Queen, and vive la France! 0/

[frenchgirlmarina]

Vive la franceeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! You should'nt jealous ! Ahah, me i don t like england because England = Cloudy. ahah

[TheTatmeister]

@frenchgirlmarina

England in general is warmer than France,with temperatures of around 30 degres sin Cornwall. England has 3 beaches in the Tripadvisor top twenty,the French have None. Brittany (Bretagne) is also famous for being misreable and wet. The French are also notouriously rude,vicious and nasty....

[jeffkodiac]

@TheTatmeister

Wha a kind a ridiculous clown you are . In the European climate assessment the temperatures of France are really much warmer than in UK . France is the most visited country in the world not England arrogant clown . Oh and in the most beautiful beaches of the world the French have one the British .

[TheTatmeister]

@jeffkodiac

What a fuking idiot. The UK is the 5th most visited country in the world so were not far behind you. Stop FUCKING confusing England with Britain they are two different things Dickhead! French beaches the most beautiful?? Pahahahaha!! go to Italy to see beautiful beaches your beaches are shit we have great beaches here as well cunt!!!

[Camarale]

@TheTatmeister

It's probably why France is the most visited country in the world, and why hundreds thousands of you brothers settle there. Your bullshits are so ridiculous. And yes, sure English wine is famous all around the world, pathetic clown. And English food, too. Fish and ships for instance. You're so pathetic and ridiculous, poor sick brain. Your smelly race of fuckers has always been jealous of France. Acknowledge it, primate.

[TheTatmeister]

@Camarale

Im not English,im Welsh. And no were not jealous of France. Wev fucked you up so many times. The UK is the 5th most visited country in the world and London is the the most visited CITY in the world. I dont give a shit about France!

[Camarale]

@TheTatmeister

French victories over UK are equivalent, if not more numerous than the contrary. And no,London is not the first visited city in the world, it's Paris, asshole. And France is still the most visited country in the world with 80 million tourists each year. Most of the French don't give a shit of your foggy shithole as big as a theme park.And France still owns a lot of territories in Pacific, or Carribean. Go to care your problem with France in a psychiatric hospital.

[frenchgirlmarina]

@TheTatmeister Do not be jealous, you never went to Paris, and côte d'Azur my chicken ahah.

[TheTatmeister]

@frenchgirlmarina

Paris is a shithole. Berlin is better!!!

[slovodis]

je comprend pas, les français en ont rien a foutre des clichés des anglais ou de n'importe qui d'autre, mais les anglais ne parlent que de ça comme des gamins.

je connais pas mal d'anglais et je peut vous dire qu'il sont toujours entrain d'essayer de rabaisser la france a ses clichés. je trouve ça un peu dommage car nous les français on s'en fout.

[nostalgiamelancolia1]

Does this video also include the people of Scotland and Wales who are also British or is it just referring to the English and French people?

[Halldisa]

why is an american involved...

[david87758]

Vive la France et des Français

France, le symbole de la liberté et la démocratie , la laïcité, la philosophie, culture, architecture, histoire, littérature, la révolution industrielle, républicain.

[paulinotou]

ive been to both cities more than once. i like the Brits because they are progressing, and they are good allies of the US. i like France because their culture is still very much alive. the French though, you have to watch what you say. if you use a word in the wrong context, you might have just insulted someone. its a language of respect, the difference btwn tu and vous could mean the difference btwn service and none. parisians are more often stuck up. the brits seem more welcoming. that my view

[Frenchkisssss]

The norman were french and they invided you ! Rosbef !

[20cFilmWannabe]

@Frenchkisssss lol so why weren't they called french then you dipshit

[Frenchkisssss]

@20cFilmWannabe Normandie is a region of France . And we call people there the Norman, and they are progenies of ones who invided your shity country !

[20cFilmWannabe]

@Frenchkisssss your English sucks ! improve it most of the world can speak it.

[Frenchkisssss]

@20cFilmWannabe And you are too stupid to learn an other language ! Idiot, inbred loser.

[20cFilmWannabe]

@Frenchkisssss im learning German, a much more important language

[SearcherTwentySix]

@20cFilmWannabe German is not a more important language than French.

French is the 5th language the more speaking in the world , German is the 10th .

Then French is a more important language than German . You're so stupid .

[20cFilmWannabe]

@SearcherTwentySix well if i was in business or technology it would be more worth my while learning German and most French speakers are in underdeveloped African countries or France.

[RovexHD]

@Camarale your Parisian metro is roughly 87 years behind with all those homeless people snoozing on the platforms -- does your government care about health and safety?

[Camarale]

@RovexHD

Yes, sure, because there are no homeless in London or New York metro, poor jerk. Paris metropolitan area subway is probably more efficient than in London.

[SimsulatedId]

The problem with psychologists is their parents and childhood.

[snappycruise]

rosbeef : tea / French : wine, champagne. choose your side!

[TheTatmeister]

@snappycruise

English people make Wine. English Beer,Ale and Spirit is also world famous. French Wine also tastes like SHIT!

[Camarale]

Really funny,all these British clichés. Berets, frog legs,snails, romantic, arrogant, dirty toilets, and equivalent craps.You have more chances to find pizzerias or kebabs in France, than all these frog and snail craps. The last time i've seen someone wearing a beret in France was maybe in 1947,and Paris Islamic ghettos suburbs are not specially romantic. Most of the French bath daily and their toilets are clean and modern, for the most part. Anglosaxons are always 70 years behind world reality.

[erazer4438]

PLEASE ! Do not confuse French and Parisian prick !

[terrortorn]

"Love France, hate the French", its so true. The French think civilization is based on art, philosophy, food and drink. The British know its based on soap and water.

[Jayson1993q]

fucking british, vive la france british pussy!!!!

[20cFilmWannabe]

@Jayson1993q bet you listen to British music

[SearcherTwentySix]

@20cFilmWannabe Everybody listen British music , not listening British music is like don't be a human .

[PinkCitrouille08]

I like both! :)

[dofusien25200]

pouce verts si a un moment tu as entendu " les roses-beafs "

[RovexHD]

British is an ambiguous term and certainly applies to the 'French vs ENGLISH feud'. Scots and Welsh are vastly different to the English

[LyingPrauses]

I think Napoleon should have brushed off some of his confidence on the French. After him all of you are a serious amount of pussies who just talk shit

[LyingPrauses]

1:26 Why does it sound like he's talking about a river of STD's?

[1997zc]

it's la france, not le france. lol.

[belliouse]

I love London, i love Paris. I have been to both place. But for real, if i have to live with one of the city... i would choose London. People are MUCH nicer and less ignorant.

[Halldisa]

@belliouse People in london are nicer than in Paris?? My god what must they be like in Paris lol. Londers have a bad rep for being unfriendly (to the rest of the UK)

[tulaneboy251]

@Halldisa I think it maybe because you can relate more with people who speak your language. It can be frustrating when you can't properly communicate with someone and they may take it as you been rude and unfriendly, rather then frustrated because you can't get your point across.

[joimko2]

@Halldisa Real comments. Am French, have been in UK 12 years. Did not travel in packed French underground or something like that for years so not sure how it is. And I agree, if it is better in Lon than in Par, that must be seriously bad... Now like everywhere on this planet more and more people have no respect for others... At the end of the day, I have great British friends and great French ones. On both sides I also know a bunch of idiots, it is that simple.

[RovexHD]

Come on frenchies, you love London - better city as a whole in comparison to Paris.

[RovexHD]

There are 400,000 Frenchmen in London ALONE. that is a huge number obviously the high unemployment rate in France hasn't stopped them crossing the channel in abundance

[KratosGodalmighty]

I'm French and I do not feel at all hating the British people. I don't know why but English people seem to focus on our differences whereas we don't care. I've been to England and I can tell that English are very warm.

[yaann]

Ha, finally a report about stereotypes that doesn't fail to mention the confirmation bias (the tendency to notice only what confirms the stereotypes and not what infirms them). Yeah, many English seem to hate us, but I have to admit that some of their anti-French jokes are quite funny.

In France, the common attitudes towards the English hating us are:

1/ «Oh. OK. What shall we eat tonight?»

2/ «Oh, those bloody "roast-beefs"!»

3/ «OMG, London is so cool»

[snukkka]

As a French descended American, I must say I love both of you dumb bastards. The French/English rivalry over the hundreds of years was the best thing that could have happened to mankind. 1000x better than Greeks vs. Turks, 100x better than Romans vs. Germanics, and about 10x better than Arabs vs. Jews. We were the two brothers who couldn't quite get along, but secretly admired each other.

U can't even compare British people to French people when it comes to cooking are you fukin crazy ? French cooking is one of the best in the world. What u see in england is chicken n chips everywhere. That's all they good at. British people can't cook at ALLL .

[AgelAssassin]

French love to drink ? R u drunk .

I live in London , British people drink everyfukin day , their mouth stinks as fuck . All the pubs in London r full everyday.

[HairMetalRuelz]

The French shoot, poison, trap, crush, stuff and then eat almost anything smaller than themselves. Box-nets are laid down across the Aquitaine countryside to trap skylarks, while Languedoc hunters blast turtledoves out of the sky. MONSTERS.

[imdaREALsugarbaby]

Oh Jesus.... I apologize for some of these English people.... WE'RE NOT ALL LIKE THAT!!

[grobo11]

@imdaREALsugarbaby God shut up. Stop grovelling to other people. I'm sure the French are smart enough to realise that, and if not then then jokes on them.

[AuxaneD]

Well France wouldn't be France without the French so i guess if you don't like us, just leave us alone in our beautiful country (that you allegedly love...) and i don't think we will disapprove. Start by leaving the Dordogne and Périgord please...

[HairMetalRuelz]

@AuxaneD - I'm sure it was a joke for christ sake, lighten up!

[AuxaneD]

@HairMetalRuelz My comment was a joke too! ;) Why you don't want to leave the Dordogne?...

[JRV95]

"The French and the British are united on one thing and thats what the British love, and the British love to stereotype Americans."

Those damn Americans, being ignorant, fat, stupid pigs. How dare they talk about other countries in an insulting manner? Disgusting.

Really though, for every 5 American stereotypes there is 1 British stereotypes. Shows just how great our relations are...

[hereissomecomments]

@JRV95 thanks ass

[JRV95]

@hereissomecomments Sarcasm. Learn it.

But I do have a point and before I actually tell you it, I have to see what you think. Saying "thanks ass" doesn't help anyone does it? Maybe you can learn to express your opinions without using vulgar words?

Or is the fact that you are blatantly insulting me the result of you having no opinion whatsoever?

Eitherway, your comment is pretty useless and isn't a great reflection of your thoughts.

[nathan96berry]

why would english be jealous of the french

[stevenrhcp]

It's funny to see how jealous the English are of the French culture.

[eyeswideopennimrod]

If the Brits arnt beating the French we are saving them, they are like the pompous little brother that needs looking after cos his mouth is always getting him into trouble.

[snappycruise]

@eyeswideopennimrod Waterloo was won by the prussian, the brit couldn't beat the french empire, they need all the others countries for that, and I won't go further, this BRITISH documentary is quite pathetic, look like they need confidence and reassure themselves, those rosbef!

[nathan96berry]

@snappycruise no it wasnt won by the prussians we won it the prussians came in half way through and helped we was already winning

[Tommyfungun]

@snappycruise I am Dutch and can tell you that the British kicked your ass in Waterloo and the Brits even took Napoleon off to exile to die ah ha

[BackInAGiffy]

@snappycruise maybe that's cos you french were so stupid as to think you could take over Europe LOL.

there's a reason why most of the world speak ENGLISH and not French ROFLMFAO

[imDeeZr]

@BackInAGiffy Many countries in Africa ( a little in America ) speak French ;)

[BackInAGiffy]

@imDeeZr i know ;)

[snappycruise]

@BackInAGiffy yes and can u give me the real reason? because it's quite funny! You are lucky the french resistance was there. oh well anyway!

[BackInAGiffy]

@snappycruise Because we had the biggest empire the world has ever seen as im sure you're sick of hearing, so English was generally spread throughout the world. America could have spoken French but no they speak English which is also another big influence on the world.

and what has the French resistance got to do with anything you stupid french wanker.

[jeffkodiac]

@BackInAGiffy

You are funny with your biggest empire because you only fight unarmed people you never had like the French a empire in Europe and today you live on your tiny island while the French live in the most largest country of Europe .

[BackInAGiffy]

@jeffkodiac whats the size of our countries got to do with anything ? in fact that's even funnier because we are a "tiny Island" and you are huge yet we are still better :)

[jeffkodiac]

@BackInAGiffy

Nope what is funny is during the time when you built your empire today disappear the French built a country 4 times as your . You are better of course in arrogance :)

[BackInAGiffy]

@jeffkodiac lol 4 times as big LMFAO do they teach geography in your shitty french education system ?

[jeffkodiac]

@BackInAGiffy

France territory = 4 times the English territory . It's you who need to learn geography instead of learn your retarded English propaganda .

[BackInAGiffy]

@jeffkodiac oh really i thought you said island ? England is not an island Britain is an island you fucking retard

[jeffkodiac]

@BackInAGiffy

I did not say that France was four times as your island learn to read properly pretentious morons .However France is 2 ½ times larger than your tiny island .

[BackInAGiffy]

@jeffkodiac you said France is "4 times bigger than my country" im actually Scottish which is part of Britain.

you are the ignorant one and assume England is Britain.

[jeffkodiac]

@BackInAGiffy

What a kind of hypocrite you are ! You have understand very well what i said i repeat for your narrow minded . France is 4 times bigger than England and 2 ½ times larger than Britain . You are only a sad retarded Scottish because in the great majority the Scottish are respectful of France and the French and don't spend their time like you to criticize a country with which they have some common history.

[BackInAGiffy]

@jeffkodiac you are also hating on England. Anyway sorry and congratulations to the UK and France gadaffi is defeated. :)

[jeffkodiac]

@BackInAGiffy

Why you say that i'm a English hater ? "Anyway sorry and congratulations to the UK and France gadaffi is defeated. :)" Another proof that when the Brits and the French work together they can make great things ..

[BackInAGiffy]

@jeffkodiac agreed, sorry again for my comments good luck in the rugby world cup :)

[jeffkodiac]

@BackInAGiffy

Thank you mate but i'm think it will very hard for the French against the AB in rugby world cup .

[BackInAGiffy]

@jeffkodiac you never know, hope you win anyway.

[TheTatmeister]

@jeffkodiac

Dumbarse. Do you honestly think Russia and Germany are smaller than France?? Twat. Whsat does size mean anyway,France is still a bankrupt,racist shithole!

[jeffkodiac]

@TheTatmeister

You are funny retarded shibag of course germany is smaller than France and Russia is not really a Europan country . Tell me retarded French hater clown why France is in bankrupt .

[MrBruntenebreux0211]

@jeffkodiac Russia is not really an European country? It's Europe until the Oural mountains dumb fuck.Don't spill out your french pride right here again,They don't give a damn shit of your Napoleon's behaviour

[jeffkodiac]

@MrBruntenebreux0211

Retarded Italian cunt you are funny with your arrogance of course you don't know that the greatest part of Russia is in Asia . You open your mouth about the French when the Italian have the most clownish military history of the world .

[MrBruntenebreux0211]

@jeffkodiac It doesn't mean it's not european, tart.If you learn a bit of geography,you would know where are situated the Ourals.Stop dishing out, Napoleon.And fetch some english dictionnaries before trying to argue in a decent conversation

[jeffkodiac]

@MrBruntenebreux0211

It doesn't mean they are european fuckface . Listen Mussolini the British kicked you fag ass in all battles in WW2 , you don't know that lol .

@TheTatmeister Don't talk with this dumb of jeffkodiac.He's bashing anybody who's not french.It doesn't represent french people.He's just craving to live like 200 years ago in the Napoleon's era when France ruled the Europe...Such a jerk hunting for the glory days

[JammyBullet1]

@snappycruise I understand where you coming from but isn't that part of what makes a country strong; having strong friends. Sorry if I'm wrong I don't know to much about the battle of waterloo.
