Hi, we're Joel & Lia, and today's video is
five things Americans do that drive

Brits crazy! Craaazy! Crazy town! Mental! You have sent us to crazy town!

okay just so you know guys
before we get going we have made this

exact same video in Reverse
so things that Brits do that drive

Americans crazy yeah,  just so you
can't get too offended. Lots of you will

probably be triggered by this video and be like oh my gosh I'm so
offended but we have just done this for

Brits as well and on how annoying
Brits are so ... triggered! "I'm triggered!" get over it

we make fun of everyone regardless of
who it is even ourselves take it with a

pinch of salt a pinch of salt. Honestly, coz  don't take it personally it's all a joke British

people are sarcastic I don't want to see
any hateful comments okay, none!

If you're gonna leave a comment just leave an
emoji yeah just leave a

dagger emoji yeah if you want to say something horrible... that'll do! So obviously

the UK and the USA are very close there
are lots of similarities between the

countries yeah but there are also a lot
of differences and we both piss each

other off
so should we kick it off with the first

thing that they do yeah okay the first
thing they do is say oh my god, say water! Say it again. Say table. Wait, table is the same. Say table, oh wait it's not as good as water

yeah just saying that I love your accent and 
it's a compliment I guess but it's just

when you hear all the time yeah and it's
the making fun like oh you say water

so funny it's like no we just pronounce
all the letters yeah yeah it can be a

bit annoying just constantly like coming
back to the accent it's like yeah we

speak differently carry on talking yeah
which I know it's kind of ironic

because we've made videos like oh
Americans say this but let's ignore that

we know we're hypocrites
let's move on also on the note of

accents like what's even more irritating
and annoying and uncomfortable is when

Americans try and change like how they
speak a little bit to sound like us but

they're still ... because it's so
jarring like it's really hard not to

cringe they're like "oh it's just like
laughing" and you're like ahhh

it's so painful I can't deal I don't know
maybe it's a slip of the tongue but it's

too much. It doesn't bother me but it bothers you. I find it hilarious.

okay this next one's to do with the
service industry in America it's when

they take your plates away too soon so
say if you and I were eating and you

finish first cuz you eat fast and so do
I - but you've finished even faster than I have

(correct)
and they've taken your plate but I'm

still eating yeah, hate that. HATE that. I've said it before
I'll say it again don't do that to me

don't clear Brits plates until
everyone's finished eating. It's so rude! SO rude. It literally grinds

my gears and we know why we know that
you're efficient your view is that yeah

you don't want to a dirty plate sat in
front of you, you want it gone as quickly as

possible but that is so rude in the UK. yeah
it's so rude I hate it yeah it makes me

feel like I'm the only one eating yeah
I'm just like this sucks so much titties

titties titties titties also if
everyone's got their plates still and

people are coming at the end of it you
know sometimes you're like "oh can I try

a bit of that?" and I've still got my plate there yeah anyway so
that drives us nuts. That's another thing that drives us nuts. The next thing that drives us

absolutely crazy bonkers is the
inability to use indoor voices we wrote

this down before we filmed the video and
I was like I'm sorry but they're just

always loud yeah Americans are we've
spoken about it before, physiologically

the way that American accents work the
sound reverberates more than British

voices we won't bore you with the
explanation just take it as correct yeah

Americans are just louder
in general than we are, there's no

such thing as an indoor voice with them
no every conversation is sort of a few

decibels higher imagine if one of us was
American we would have to constantly adjust

the levels of the sound, coz one would be
shouting and the other

one would be absolutely it wouldn't work, it's maybe a bit offensive but yeah

I can't deal with it my dad's the other
way around though like.... he's so

annoying in America we laugh at it!
because this one restaurant we went to

Outback if you know it's an Australian
restaurant in America "Australian" anyway

Australian it's just burgers being like it's
Australian anyway we went there and the

waitress obviously is very loud and she
has to be because she's talking to like

over all of the restaurant and my dad is
very quiet and she goes anything for you

sir like drink wise and my dad went
"nothing for me thank you I'm fine" and

she was like what and he's like nothing for
me thank you I'm fine and she's like huh? And we

had to translate for him because he
speaks very quietly and he doesn't just

give one answer just go no thanks he always goes
"nothing for me thank you I'm fine"

we're like Dad why can't you just A)
speak louder or B) just say no thanks

like you're confusing her by going 
"nothing for me thank you I'm fine" it's just so funny like a complete clash

of cultures where he was just very quiet
and saying a million words and she's

like "eh?" the next one is their over zealous
patriotism in that very posh accent, it's just too

much yeah the kids the school's the
National Anthem, standing up in your classroom like

with your hand on your heart or a
baseball -  so this is funny yeah my mum

and dad went to a baseball game in
America oh the celebrations after they

score no no no no even worse!  but
 before the game they all stand up

hand on heart sing their national anthem
and I was like oh so what do you do just

sit down she was like no I stood up
and joined in! I was like mum you're not even

American, and it's just imagining her
standing there Debbie Wood this British

woman like joining in with the song, it's so funny! And she didn't know the words either!

What was she like? I don't know I wasn't there but then we
went to a basketball game all together

and me and my brother's girlfriend
refused to join in we just sat there

like this isn't our country like I'm
happy to watch like go for it America's

great but I'm like I'm not joining in
this isn't my country whereas the rest

of my family, all there like! I don't know the words. Did Luke do it? yeah! and I think Ben stood up I don't think Ben did the

heart thing but then me and Caitlin were
just like we are not doing this

that's so funny you because you're an
attention seeker you wanted people to look at you

and be like why aren't you doing it? Plus, I'm like that's essentially pledging allegiance to

America and I'm sorry but
I'm English yeah, fair play.

I'd probably join in. God save the Queen yeah? God save the Queen! Yeah? Just add a yeah on the end of things. God save the Queen yeah?

we've never sung our national anthem in
class or at school we don't even know

the words we don't even know the words. God save our gracious Queen, God save our gracious Queen, we don't even know it and that's not because we're not proud to be

British it's just because we're kind of
like "Britain's great but so is other country's"

yeah and we'd all rather not sing yeah please don't make me sing! Please don't make us all do the same thing, altogether. There's nothing worse is there, "turn to the person next to you and say your name"

make friends with the person next
to you! Urgh! Stop! I'd rather die. I'd literally rather die. The next one is

the fact that you always assume you're
the only country that has freedom of

speech and I get it we've touched on it
before we've had some comments being

like yeah but we're the only country
that puts in our Constitution or

whatever it is and we haven't got a written constitution. and by saying... hate speech

in the UK can get you in prison but I'm
like that doesn't mean we haven't got

freedom technically I guess it does mean
we don't have complete freedom to say

anything but we don't want people who
say hateful things to be

allowed to live, if anyone incites
racism and hatred and things like that

they deserve to be locked up and every
British person's like here here get them

locked up no one wants them yes I don't
understand and that's why we don't have

the sort of equivalent of the Ku Klux
Klan in the UK because we wouldn't stand
