Can't hear shit over the sound of that fountain
Would have been nice without that obnoxiously loud water fountain.
That british guys face looks really small compared to the rest of his head.
At a certain angle, that is.
I'm British, and I can confirm the accuracy of this video when faced with US Marine friends.
So true.
Good thing you guys remembered to give the water fountain a microphone too.
Lawsuits are coming, I'm deaf in my left ear because of you!
Found the reason, my headphones weren't even plugged fully, I thought it was just this video.
(now I'm deaf in both ears)
I'm British and I can confirm that is how asshole's act around British people.
It's the same when British meet Americans too, "is everyone fat? does everyone have guns?"
I train in karate regularly with some british (and russian, and german) dudes and we don't irritate each other with retarded questions. Why can't we be friends

Last time I was in America I tried to ask someone those questions but he couldn't hear me over the rustling sound of him unwrapping his 16th cheeseburger of the day. Then when I finally convinced him to put it down for a minute, he shot me with his assault weapon. So I started yelling at him to call me an ambulance but he said he didn't have $50 to pay for one so I fainted from blood loss.
I regained consciousness about an hour later and the next thing I knew the SAS came down in a helicopter and evacuated me back to Britain. I spent the next day in a warm NHS bed drinking tea and watching the BBC report on which country the US had invaded that day. I left hospital and a young boy offered to shine my shoes for two shillings. He was so charming I couldn't refuse and so I paid him, then sat and read in the paper about God having saved the Queen again while I thought about how wonderful it is to live in the great British Empire.

Yes, and yes
I'm not British but I went on a trip to England. When I came back literally the only things my friends asked me were how much tea I drink and if I met the Queen. Whenever it's brought up someone's got to ask the same questions as if they're the funniest things in the world. It's really annoying

Aye its true.
In Denmark, if you wish to marry a girl, you have to craft an axe and present it to her father - if the axe is good, the father will let you marry her.
In Australia you make sure you light the girls farts before your own. And preferably her mothers aswell.
When Americans realize I'm British they instantly go
"DUDE. FUCKIN...YOU AUSTRALIAN DUDE? DUDE YOU GOT PET KANGAROOS? WHERE YOU FROM MAN!?"
"London"
"DUUUUUUDE. DID NOT KNOW THAT SHIT WAS IN AUSTRALIA DUDE
ANYWAYS NICE MEETIN YA DUDE IMA GO GRAB A SNACK OR TWELVE"
-wrong thread :v:-

I live in Northern England and there was someone from Essex who moved here and for some reason everyone thought he was Australian

pfft northern england IS like a separate country though.
Trust me, I went there once, worse than syria
I'm Scot, and one of my friends is Irish.
People confuse him for a Brit all the time, and I only sound like a Scot when I'm pissed off. But the questions are pretty much the same and are of varying levels of retard :v:

So essentially you're agreeing with his point.

You see this is the kind of shit that makes me want to move from essex
because of that cancer of a show the only way is essex everyone treats us like the british version of jersey shore
"Sorry, I can't here you over my freedom"
There's two spins to this argument, if you ask me.
The American in this situation is genuinely interested in hearing about what it must be like to live in england, and is trying to spark up a conversation about it. This is perfectly understandable.
The Englishman in the situation is tired of people around him making such a big deal of him being different. Also perfectly understandable.
But after speaking to a quite a few Americans like this over skype, and hearing them talk with their close friends, it's fairly obvious that they take the piss out of each other all in good fun, like most friends do.
If you poke fun back in a similar matter, many laughs will be had.
This kind of conversation really is harmless. And in my opinion, it's the opposite of asshole-ish, like a lot of people make it out to be.
