Thought on the English...

[Dark_Reaction]

No, no, I was just kidding about the British having bad teeth.... No, really, I swear <.<

I've always loved the British though - they have a great accent, they tend to be genuinely polite (if not nice) people and they don't afraid of anything.... Except Daleks. And ze Germans. And Pakistani immigra- BLAAAAAH, I digress.

The internet is full of idiots and perfectly respectable people willing to behave like idiots because nobody will ever know them, taking everything and anything you hear with a pinch, or perhaps a small bucket, of salt.


P.S. - The French have bad teeth as well, but, as you touched upon, they need a shower and shave more than a dentist ;D

 

[SckizoBoy]

and no, im from the "intolerant" *rolls eyes* southern united states and i think Brits are people who try and go on with their lives as normally as every other person in the western world, sure some things yall do are weird (royal wedding hats) but from the english people that i know, your just the same as everyone else. and please dont think that all Americans think like that commenter. we dont.

You want hats? Ladies' Day at Ascot... yeesh, that's a veritable modern art exhibit in all its... horrifying glory.

But you guys make up for it by obtaining really sexy deep male voices.

Even our women? '

 

[Ryengu]

Trolls. Either that or Poe's Law is in full effect (definition available here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitlehkm94ato )

 

[ultimateownage]

No, but that's how all of Britain stereotypes America. England especially.
We also stereotype and hate The French, The Welsh, the rest of the United Kingdom, Asia, Europe, Ireland, The Middle East, and all the places in England that any specific Englishman is not living in at that point in time.

 

[Little Duck]

Mostly ok. Disproportionate high number of lunatics. We like it how we can get all your women by just having an accent.

 

[SenseOfTumour]

IE9 is ok and all that, but when are they going to add USEFUL functionality, for those who are not so skilled and knowing of the internet?

Yes, I'm talking about a toolbar that flashes and slaps itself directly under any video, blog, or comment piece - with the text in large caps - WARNING: comments from the public below, no good can come of scrolling down - you have seen what you came to see, now leave while you still have a soul!

I think that should be compulsory in all browsers.

 

[KezzieZ]

The only opinion I really have on this is "Trolls be trolling."

Well, that, and that the Brits seem alright to me. I don't know many personally, but they seem fine enough to me. A place that creates things like Doctor Who and Red Dwarf can't be all bad.

 

[Daveman]

An idiot on youtube? Goodness gracious me!

And for the record I may like tea but I prefer coffee. Also if I was offered a huge amount of very very cheap tea I wouldn't DUMP IT IN THE OCEAN!

It's alright though because we've been much more subversive in our revenge. Simon Cowell... thanks for taking him off our hands btw.

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

What you have to realise is that, at least from my experience, is that we brits hate every single person on the planet including ourselves: Northerners, scottish, irish, american, french, italians, russians, germans, canadians, west country folk, east country folk, iceland and their BLOODY VOLCANO!!!!!!!, anyone from the middle east...
I think you get the drift.

 

[failing_banana]

Well the tea bit is no secret
But mainly the rest is mostly the opinion of those xenophobic, gun toting, bible hugging, shrunken dick fucknuggets that seem to make-up the majority of the X-box live community.
I for one happen to like you Brits and all the wonderful TV programing you've provided us Yanks over the years

yeah i'm from Britain (Scotland) and on behalf of Britain i thank you and thanks for the great tv you've sent back over like community and of course the timeless classic fraiser.



also i really like tea and a nice bourbon or scottish whisky

 

[EternalFacepalm]

You know not ALL Americans have the same opinions of the British, and not ALL British have the same opinion of Americans, right?

That's how some think of a country's people, and their opinion is pretty ignorant as well.

 

[steeple]

I'm tempted to say the commenter is a troll, but more likely it's just tongue-in-cheek banter in the vein of Team America [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce8CgJRkr_I]. I'm sure there's an "English" equivalent calling us out for shooting first and asking questions later, wearing cowboy hats and riding horses to work on gold plated hummers, and calling rugby "football" and football "soccer", posh british accent optional. It's that special kind of over-the-top stereotyping that makes comics like this funny:

Don't go popping your monocle over things like this ya tea sippin', scone scarfing, bowler hat wearing, easily sunburned, bad teethed limey.

that was funny as hell. thank you!

You are thinking of the Scottish. The Scottish hate everyone. It was proven in The Simpsons. I joke, I joke.

To any non British, is it true that there is a stereotype of British people being excessively polite and orderly? It's just, I was watching the news and there was an American economist comparing the reactions outside a British bank and an American bank during the beginning of the financial crisis. He was stating how all the British were forming orderly lines and waiting to get in one at a time, whilst the Americans were just forming a free fall for whoever can get in first.

 

[Sticky Squid]

.... Seriously though, do you people EVER visit the dentist? For the love of the Queen, LEARN TO BRUSH!

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the chomping of the healthiest teeth in the world.

[BanthaFodder]

it's just a troll.
we poke fun at you guys over here ("tea, crumpets, Elton John, The Beatles, fish and chips and all that palaver, wot wot."), but most of us know that the Revolutionary War ended over 100 years ago.

 

[XHolySmokesX]

i hate some people sometimes.

people like this really annoy me, especially people who are intollerant of other societies. pointless insults to make themselves feel like they're better than everyone else is just petty childish behaviour because they haven't got 2 shits about how to be real men, leading to them being rejected by society.

Now i'm not a long haired hippy type thats all for world peace man, but i think petty fighting with someone else just becasue they're a bit different from you is just low, and i'm pretty sure everyone else would agree with me.

This type of thing isn't fair on America. America is a country that has produced some great people, and had millions of great people living in it today. So i think it's unfair that dick heads like this get to be the face of america just because they can shout their insults the loudest.

 

[Wicky_42]

...then I read this comment on a YouTube video...

See, that's where you went wrong

I'm sure that guy was just feeling left out by all the love we show the French...

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

As an Englishman who likes his Tea, I shall tell you that no one hates the English more than the English.

Quoted for truth.

Northerners and Southerners have this strange little thing going on over here...

Same over here. Possibly in less force. Filthy rebel scum....
