wine? Who the hell says you all drink wine? Nobody stereotypes you as wine drinkers, the stereotype is you drink fuck loads of sugary tea and warm beer, wine is for French people and Italians lol.
You're stereotype about Americans wasn't far off, actually! English humour, I think is funny on a more intellectual level...which Americans don't understand because OBCIOUSLY, we are fat, dumb bastards (ALL pun intended) I say iraq sort of like you do. I adapted to American culture and now have that accent. Who knows where I could've been born? I could've been from Cheshire-like my mom- or Devon-like my dad, who both lost their accents long after being in America! But it slips a lot.
Well the English do stereotype Americans, we are not all loud, or obnoxious, or whatever stereotypes drift around. However, I think, as ignorant as it may be, it is human nature to stereotype. I'm from California, and some people in my country outside of Cali (let alone other countries) believe in the stereotypes. We don't all talk with a surfer, or valley accent. We've never even met movie stars. Almost everyone is stereotyped for one thing or another. Annoying at times, but human nature.
Nobody cares. I hope that foreigners do see us as a nation of tea-drinking royalists as the idealistic stereotype is far more bearable than the unfortunate reality that you two represent.
Just wanted to say, there are hillbillies in America wherever you go. You can go to any state in America and find at least one hillbilly. And, hillbillies don't always have hillbilly accents. It's more about what they do that makes them hillbillies :) you guys are awesome :)
I've met a lot of American people, I don't think they all sound the same. But I also know they don't all have white teeth, I've seen some really messed up teeth over in the USA.
Still, I love America more than I love my home country UK
I know that there are many different dialects within England. People from adjacent cities with speak differently. People from the north of England speak completely different from the people in the south of England. It's the same with the states. Just in one state, Georgia for example (being my state, unfortunately), has so many different dialects. People think Georgians and South/North Carolinians have a dialect they had in colonial times. A FEW places still do, but not many.
Sometimes people can't speak with any other accents. I'm from the southeastern US, and when I try to speak with any English dialect, it either sounds posh, or like an English dialect mixed with a little Scottish.
And a lot of English people I've seen attempt an American accent (some, not all) speak with this bland accent that really no one has. And it's the same within the states as well. People from the north who try to speak with a southern accent do it with an over exaggerated country accent
Well, dear Sir and Madam, as an Englishman I must state that I for one do infact drink tea and eat crumpets, usually on the lawn at midday under the parasol whilst watching the cricket on the town green.
I'm also a cockney and I'm related to the Queen, I'm 5266615 in line to the Throne, and my teeeth are rotten. I also have a wife who sounds like Mary Poppins and Dick Van Dyke and I own a library at Oxford University. And I know a lot about Vampires and Harry Potter style magic.
Taking the piss LOL LOl! I love you guys' slang terms. We all use so much slang too, I have been trying to learn more Brit slang myself. I like the "fag" term for cigarette. In the states you'd get stared at as if you were asking for a gay person! HAHAHAHAHA
hey cool interesting video. I'm American and your accent sounds like muddled Scottish IMO, sort of British/Scottish mixed together. Interesting to point out how many dialects there are which is what makes the world interesting. I know here in the states we also have many dialects. I'm from the West Coast and I do not talk like a Valley Girl/boy.
If you think about it, Americans are all immigrants from all around the world, so there is a great many more accents than in media. Many people speak English as a second language, so that further expands the amount of English accents. As well as the other way around. Where I live, many people also speak Spanish as a second language and it affects their accent. The thing I love about America is you can find people with a different accent anywhere you go, as close as to your neighbors house.
I totally get English humor...but there definitely wasn't any sarcasm going on when you both couldn't even think of funny accents in your own country. lol. Just as in the U.K., there are regional accents that branch out into a handful more. I live in California for example, which happens to be roughly the same size as England, and there are many accent's than just the typical valley accent that everyone mimics so often. In L.A. alone there are at least a dozen or more. lol.
I like accents, think it's silly that u think Americans think you're'll devoted to the queen. Y'not a monarchy after all. I'm from Long Island, NY, but attend Uni in LA, so I'm use to being scrutinized for my accent. Now, lemme show you how people from NY talk. Stoonado, weRe y'goin? Come 'ere' and fixa dinnA. Whaadya mean he ain't comin ova? Y'tell him te'gEt hies azz over 'ere or Ima call his Nonna
I would like to hear you do American accents or tape some friends doing them. I'm very intersted to truely hear how we sound to you. By the way, this is a friendly request, I enjoyed this video.
Elevate and escalate both mean to raise or move upwords, therefore, you have an elevator and escalator. I am curious what you call escalators ovre in england now.
Also the majority of english people assume all americans speak with a southern american accent. I am from the north east(Philadelphia) and sound nothing like someone who was raised in Texas or georgia.
@JAD0577 Also you may hear me speak and hear someone from a midwestern state speak and think we sound exaclty the same, while I would hear a clear difference. the same is so with americans hearing english accents. Some dialects are drastic, but many are very subtle, weather you are in America or england. And you mentioned Irish accents as well, there are also multiple Irish dialects.
No matter what country you are from, everyone is a bit guilty of this.
Im English, alot of my family speak with an Oxfordshire accent and my dad wears bowler hats. Stop trying to ruin our good stereotype, its better than most other countries'.
I think (and if im wrong im sorry) but that alot of the north think that all londers speak with a cockney accent when we acc dont ....we dont all speak like characters from Eastenders :/
I have a question for an American. What you call your Grandparents individually? I was talking to my French-Canadian neighbour and i mentioned my "Nan". She found it very weird. My Nan and Grandad are from Yorkshire! My other Grandad died and i still have a Grandma.
@Taarable I called my fathers parents Mom Mom, and Pop Pop, and my mothers parents Babcia, pronuonced Bop-Shee(grandmom), and Dziadek, pronounced Jah-Jee(grandfather)they were polish and so we used the polish words.
My nephew calls my parents Nana, and Pop pop, and his fathers parents are Mum Mum and Poppy. Sometimes Names for grandparents evplves from theway the child will pronounce Mom Mom, Or Pop Pop or what have you wile learning, IE My great grandmother was called Ma-Mu(Mah-Moo)
@JAD0577 Cool :) The boy who i baby sit calls his Grandmama. What a mouthful. I also find it pretty funny that she can't speak a word of English and he is English, so they've never spoken.
@UKCallum1 A lot of Americans I've met (and living near the border in Canada, I've met a hell of a lot) are actually fat and stupid. Which isn't to say that all of them are, or that there aren't fat stupid people in other countries, there just seems to be a high concentration of them in the US.
There's a reason for why you think we don't get your humor. When we hear accents, we unconsiously sense a vulnerability emmanating from you because your accent kind of reveals to us that your speaking in another language - even if your not (were stupid like that) and because of that we don't expect you to be humerous. When you're vulnerable, humor is the last thing on your mind. So, if foreigners are sarcastic to us, sometimes we tend to take them literally. I think its ingrained.
@lonelycompany Ummm, NO. I disagree, I love some British Comedy, and some I don't like. I wouldn't say I don't get it, I just don't like it, The same goes for American comedy, and austrailian and any other counrty. Though at times with people who speak a totaly different langauge from english, I beleive that humor and sarcasm can get lost in the accent because it often relies on emphasis, wich often becomes misplaced with accents form non english languages.
Why don't people get that this video is a joke? You all seem to take it far too seriously? I mean it's obviously taking the piss because we're sterotyping Americans, while talking about the Americans stereotyping the British. lol....yeah, it's just a joke, so chill lol.
my mom rents a station at a hair salon, the owner is english and she took speech therapy because americans complained they could'nt understand. texans and southerners say y'all = "you all"
hill billys are from the appalachian mountains on the east cost.
californian's are known for the tyical valley girl how say ''like" for every thing
oh- an escalater are like stair cases but automatic
You're not related to the queen?! And im pretty sure the UK takes 3rd place on the fat scale. And british humor is an oxymoron. And their are hillbillies everywhere, apparently even in England
You should do more videos like this--people try to do english accents and i have to walk off they're so bad--their always something like sid vicious mixed the my fair lady....gah!
I am from yorkshire, we love our tea & crumpets. We visted Colordo a few years ago. My husband speaks with a very broad yorkshire accent, he calls everyone love, and he says "hey up love/lad". The owners of the B&B loved how we spoke, what cracked them up the most was that we brought our own cups and tea, my husband kept asking them for "hot" water for tea not warm. But i must say America is beautiful i never saw 1 gun ir cops eating doughnuts, just nice proud people who have remained in contact
@Triundi Dude number one you say mario with RRRRRRRRRRRRRR and then we say mario with out the R,... And we found you. so you have the wierd accent and should be speaking like the english. so get the fuck with it you twat
@Callofdutyboys I say Mario like an Italian might. Since I study 4 languages besides English, I try to pronounce pronouns and names as they are natively pronounced. The local accent here is pretty nondescript--no real defining elements. And whom did you found? My family has lived here for 400 years. I'm not really arguing since, besides the "twat," your post didn't seem very charged.
Really though, my point wouldn't be affected by pronouncing the "r" in Mario; at least the letter is there. xD
@candacem09 nonono , you couldnt be more wrong, our stereotype of Americans is that you don't believe in anything beyond a superficial high five mentality
I am utterly amazed that you claim you are English! You really don't sound English one bit! Well, I'm a New Yorker and you can tell right away that I'm American. Why is it that you two in this video really don't sound like what the English sound like on television? Maybe you can answer that question for me. And I am used to making an effort to understand the English when they speak. And here in this case, I fully understood you. Is is that British English is being influenced by American?
@pompous1 m8 they are english, you would be suprised of the range of accents in england and the uk. like i live about 150 miles south of them and i sound nothing like them.
We probably don't sound like the british poeple on TV because we live up north and generally speaking people who live in the northern parts of england don't get mensioned on tv or any other media. It's usually southern accents that the rest of the world are aware of. British people are being influenced by american media and this that and the other, but certainly not the way we speak and our accents.
@squirrelywrath07 omg they changed the comments section layout. i freaked out .a little bit. omg i'm so happy for you guys and all happy wishes for you guys. you look so posh now. i know you hate that word but that's the best word to describe your new look. you look kinda like siobhan donaghy the ex member of sugababes
@ConfusedSponge I pressume you are talking about how I look now on my own youtube page? XD lolz yeah someone said I looked like ross noble so I chopped all my hair off ! And I have no idea who siobhan donaghy is but I shall google her/him. ^^
Wanna talk about stereotypes? There are few "hillbillies from Texas." I happen to live in Texas, I have never ridden a pony to school (I don't even have a stupid pony, nor does anyone I know.) I have never seriously said "howdy" in my entire life, and I do not own a cowboy hat OR a pair of cowboy boots.
@jook88 I live in Texas, but gladly don't have a Texas accent since I grew up in 5 different states. One thing that seems to catch on for all Texans, and that I will never lose is y'all. Even speaking in my slurred average american accent I still say y'all. Whach y'all up to (plural) or Whacha up to (singular) are my most most common greetings along with an almost tsup sounding sup (aka what's up).
Dumduo, you are really very naive if you believe Americans have never heard regional English accents. They watch UK movies and UK TV - they have done for decades. This vid makes you look stupid.
g00n - 'all Americans'? You are not only generalising but you're saying you've met every American and they told you. So it is you who are stupid. BTW, Americans have been watching Brit movies since movies began - with all the different accents. Dope.
all americans that post videos u prat, u no...like i said! idiot. and if they have bin watchin movies with difrent accents then y do they assume we all talk like a posh twat?
Well, that's the thing, there aren't alot of British/English shows shown in America, so to be fair for the Americans, they have only ever heard about two british accents.
@1:55 "You don't see us English people stereotyping you Americans..." Sure, after you just threw out all of your stereotypes that all of us think you all know each other and are all related to the queen (?!)....Oh--but we're not supposed to get irony. ;) If I ever did a vid ranting that we're not all fat, loud, and ignorant, and have more accents than the New York mafioso and the wifty Californian, you'd likely stereotype me as being arrogant and thinking I'm more important than you...
To be honest I don't really care for people in california, I'm sure there's lots of nice californians. But it's funnny to see how many Americans get pissed off about vids like this, when all the time we watch american programmes and videos where they take the piss out of the British all the time. It's like it's ok to take the piss out of the British but not the Americans???
Of course it's OK to 'take the piss'...but they weren't taking the piss, they were honestly and a bit piously venting their frustration about how ignorant Americans are in stereotyping the English. And I wanted to point out the irony (!) that in saying "(all) Americans think xyz about us", that they were obliviously stereotyping all Americans. And Americans do get stereotyped ALL of the time...so it cuts both ways. Just trying to raise awareness on both sides of the Atlantic. :)

the only reason americans only stereotype english accents to posh or cockney is because they think all other english accents are australian

@UKCallum1 A lot of Americans I've met (and living near the border in Canada, I've met a hell of a lot) are actually fat and stupid. Which isn't to say that all of them are, or that there aren't fat stupid people in other countries, there just seems to be a high concentration of them in the US.

There's a reason for why you think we don't get your humor. When we hear accents, we unconsiously sense a vulnerability emmanating from you because your accent kind of reveals to us that your speaking in another language - even if your not (were stupid like that) and because of that we don't expect you to be humerous. When you're vulnerable, humor is the last thing on your mind. So, if foreigners are sarcastic to us, sometimes we tend to take them literally. I think its ingrained.

jamesmo182 1 year ago
@lonelycompany Ummm, NO. I disagree, I love some British Comedy, and some I don't like. I wouldn't say I don't get it, I just don't like it, The same goes for American comedy, and austrailian and any other counrty. Though at times with people who speak a totaly different langauge from english, I beleive that humor and sarcasm can get lost in the accent because it often relies on emphasis, wich often becomes misplaced with accents form non english languages.

Why don't people get that this video is a joke? You all seem to take it far too seriously? I mean it's obviously taking the piss because we're sterotyping Americans, while talking about the Americans stereotyping the British. lol....yeah, it's just a joke, so chill lol.

I am from yorkshire, we love our tea & crumpets. We visted Colordo a few years ago. My husband speaks with a very broad yorkshire accent, he calls everyone love, and he says "hey up love/lad". The owners of the B&B loved how we spoke, what cracked them up the most was that we brought our own cups and tea, my husband kept asking them for "hot" water for tea not warm. But i must say America is beautiful i never saw 1 gun ir cops eating doughnuts, just nice proud people who have remained in contact

Callofdutyboys 2 years ago
@Callofdutyboys I say Mario like an Italian might. Since I study 4 languages besides English, I try to pronounce pronouns and names as they are natively pronounced. The local accent here is pretty nondescript--no real defining elements. And whom did you found? My family has lived here for 400 years. I'm not really arguing since, besides the "twat," your post didn't seem very charged.
Really though, my point wouldn't be affected by pronouncing the "r" in Mario; at least the letter is there. xD

I am utterly amazed that you claim you are English! You really don't sound English one bit! Well, I'm a New Yorker and you can tell right away that I'm American. Why is it that you two in this video really don't sound like what the English sound like on television? Maybe you can answer that question for me. And I am used to making an effort to understand the English when they speak. And here in this case, I fully understood you. Is is that British English is being influenced by American?

jidowod 1 year ago
We probably don't sound like the british poeple on TV because we live up north and generally speaking people who live in the northern parts of england don't get mensioned on tv or any other media. It's usually southern accents that the rest of the world are aware of. British people are being influenced by american media and this that and the other, but certainly not the way we speak and our accents.

Wanna talk about stereotypes? There are few "hillbillies from Texas." I happen to live in Texas, I have never ridden a pony to school (I don't even have a stupid pony, nor does anyone I know.) I have never seriously said "howdy" in my entire life, and I do not own a cowboy hat OR a pair of cowboy boots.
jook88 2 years ago
@jook88 I live in Texas, but gladly don't have a Texas accent since I grew up in 5 different states. One thing that seems to catch on for all Texans, and that I will never lose is y'all. Even speaking in my slurred average american accent I still say y'all. Whach y'all up to (plural) or Whacha up to (singular) are my most most common greetings along with an almost tsup sounding sup (aka what's up).

@1:55 "You don't see us English people stereotyping you Americans..." Sure, after you just threw out all of your stereotypes that all of us think you all know each other and are all related to the queen (?!)....Oh--but we're not supposed to get irony. ;) If I ever did a vid ranting that we're not all fat, loud, and ignorant, and have more accents than the New York mafioso and the wifty Californian, you'd likely stereotype me as being arrogant and thinking I'm more important than you...
lcozzarelli 2 years ago
To be honest I don't really care for people in california, I'm sure there's lots of nice californians. But it's funnny to see how many Americans get pissed off about vids like this, when all the time we watch american programmes and videos where they take the piss out of the British all the time. It's like it's ok to take the piss out of the British but not the Americans???
squirrelywrath07 2 years ago
Of course it's OK to 'take the piss'...but they weren't taking the piss, they were honestly and a bit piously venting their frustration about how ignorant Americans are in stereotyping the English. And I wanted to point out the irony (!) that in saying "(all) Americans think xyz about us", that they were obliviously stereotyping all Americans. And Americans do get stereotyped ALL of the time...so it cuts both ways. Just trying to raise awareness on both sides of the Atlantic. :)
