I'm American...I usually start my day with waking up to random primal screaming at inanimate objects...and then I'm fairly brash at my toothbrush,and i overpowered a bowl of cereal and was over-confident while starting my car.

Point taken.

But we're still loud.

I'm an American and I'm afraid that I cant disagree with much of what was said in those interviews. On the other hand, there are good and bad.... brilliant.... and not so smart folks in every country on earth. As for me, I have never met a Brit that I did not enjoy meeting and talking to.

On the plus side only one person called americans fat. lol

All these videos are interesting and amusing, but I think it would even more interesting if they had asked each of the people if they had ever been to the country that they are stereotyping. Once you been in a country for a while you're able to get past the stereotypes. Having said that, some of the stereotypes do have a bit of truth to them.

I didn't realize we americans are so loud when we visit Europe.  I will lower my voice next time I visit there. We are a rowdy bunch for sure.

(Carrying on from last comment) never stereotype a nation - I'm sure there are some Americans who are like some British people, and some who are not :)

Lol I love how quite a few of the people in this video think that most of the English are rlly reserved and... Not colourful? (Mainly because they all seem boring xD). Lol u shud come to my house and my friend's houses - we are not like that at all xD and I'm English haha!

Oh and if i were to be asked what the Americans are like I wouldn't have a bloody clue cuz I've never met one - but even if I had I can't imagine they could be THAT different - I mean we are all human lol. Besides, I would n

I'm an American and I ride a horse with cowboy hat. I start my day by shooting in the air randomly like Yosemite Sam. In all seriousness don't you love the stereotypes lol.

[TheVille1980]

Scorpions? That is an interesting one.

[DARR0Y]

I am American and I absolutely love this video! Made me smile :)

[MusicNhoops]

Scorpion?.... I like it. :)

Also, what was the point of drawing out John and nasd;flkaj from Manchester's response? I was thinking it was gonna be damn good if we background info from them.
