“I don’t know who Jimmy Saville is but I FEEL for him.” This is an unfortunate choice of words 🤣.

'poor Jimmy Savvile' has got to be the most ironic statement ever said!

My favourite is "Let's pretend, let's pretend, let's pretend we've scored a goal - let's pretend we've scored a goal" then everyone jumps around and goes mad as if their team had just scored a goal

I love how the whole video you don’t know who Jimmy Saville is and you feel for him but I can imagine after this you look him up and realise just how evil the bloke was 🤣

I remember when Scotland played Italy in a World Cup qualifier, the Scotland chant was, 'we're gonna deep fry your pizza's'.

American sports chants: "Offense! Offense!" English sports chants: "Right, lads. I've composed a song about their coach's driving ban to the tune of 'Au Clair de la Lune'. Shall I count us in?"

I remember the first time I went to watch sport in the USA and the club actually brought out official people to start chants (that were all positive and wholesome) and the crowd actually followed. Any club in the UK that tried to "lead" the chanting would get completely hammered by there own supporters.

I love the one where West Ham fans chant "Harry Potter, is coming for you" for Jonjo Shelvey 🤣

This video is why British humour is the best in the world. They take no prisoners. 🤣

One of the funniest chants I have heard was at a Coventry v Birmingham game. Just a bit of background information. Coventry ended up without a stadium for a few years so one year they played all their home games at Birmingham's stadium. One match they had to play a home match against Birmingham. This meant that Birmingham were the away team on their own ground! So the Coventry fans sat in the home seats and the Birmingham fans sat in the away seats in their own stadium! A chant from Birmingham fans 'Who's the wanker in my seat'.

We Brits have a wicked sense of humour and the whole world thinks we have the stiff upper lip ❤️🇬🇧

The English supporters are legendary. They have a thing called the Barmy Army that travels the world supporting cricket and rugby. I am from New Zealand but it is always a delight when the Barmy Army comes to town.

You say "poor Jimmy Saville" I say "ask Google what it thinks about him"

The "kiddy family" one was actually originally started by Norwich fans about themselves to mock their own reputation. Their local rivals had one "We can't read and we can't write but that don't really matter, we support the Ipswich Town and we can drive a tractor."

What makes them even funnier is the people singing them _aren't even laughing_ because they have heard it a million times. 🤣One of my favourites (as a MUFC fan) about one of our own South Korean players, Park Ji Sung: "Park, Park, wherever you may be, you eat dogs in your own country, it could be worse, you could be scouse, eating rats in your council house."

Your laugh at the Kiddy family chant was everything 😂

British sense of humour. Best in the world.

It’s times like this that I’m so proud to be English…seriously!!

The plantpot chant was at a Barnsley away game, and we were losing BAD, so our fans decided to entertain themselves with that song!

When a ref was short in stature: "Cut the grass, we can't see the ref!"

There is no diplomatic way to describe Jimmy Saville. He was a DJ and tv personality who appeared to be a hero, raising millions for charities for the disabled and ill. After his death it became well known and not disputed that his charity work was all to give him access to physically and mentally disabled people and indeed morgues so he could engage in his sexual deviances.

We British have been insulting each other for 1500 years.

A football match isn't a football match without us having banter and throwing abuse at eachother. It's bloody brilliant, adds to the atmosphere!

The he's eaten his drum was a Wigan athletic chant one of my faves I support them

Insults are a British tradition. We don't have threat of death by gun culture to squash our 'creativity'...your reaction got me laughing too...ps if we had guns half population would be dead in 6 months...

I've watched so many American reactions to this video and always laugh at how shocked they are but I've never laughed this much at ANY video 🤣 Your laughter is so contagious. If you haven't been to the UK, you would absolutely love our drinking culture. Come in match season, you'll love it. Britain is a miserable place but so we make our own fun. It's almost impossible for us to have an interaction or conversation without sarcasm or taking the piss one way or another, usually at ourselves. If someone is taking the piss out of you, usually it means they like you. The closer people are, the more brutal the insults are. Other reactions I've seen, people are concerned about the players "feelings"🙄 saying that it's cruel and would throw them off. ...well yeah, that is the point. But even the players themselves know it's 99% banter, hence the goalie clapping after being called a fatty for 90 minutes. It's all just fun at the end of the day, we don't need entertainment to laugh, we make it ourselves and it's probably the only thing I am proud of as a Brit, our sense of humour is shared up and down the land and the fun never stops. Oh and I subscribed👍 Which I NEVER do. So there's that.

I just love the way he reacts

Been a LFC fan all my life we have some great songs but I have to admit some of these chants from the lower league clubs are brilliant they know their team aren’t ever going to be top notch but hats off to their fans who support them week in week out enjoy their days out fans like these I salute you .you fans are what makes English football so special

Football is the UKs biggest religion, by a long way. Its not a game or a sport, or an activity to entertain people on the weekend, it is a culture. Also, Jimmy Saville was evil incarnate.

Poetry plain and simple.. the ease an spontaneity with which these chants are created is nothing short of Shakespearean..I salute my fellow brethren of the terraces.

Years ago a friend of my husband asked him if our son who followed football would take her visiting Spanish friend to the football match. He did and the Spaniard enjoyed the chanting more than the match! He said the Spanish didnt do the singing so I guess it is an English thing!

That proper silent open mouthed rocking and squeaking in the chair killed me. I used to work nights in A&E and weekends were murder for large groups of football lads pissed up to the eyeballs at 2am coming in after whatever scrape and singing everything that's going on around them. . A group of them did the plant pot chant but with a disposable bed pan and straight up bounced it around to each other and whoever was graced with it got a full *He's got a piss pot - on his head, gotta piss pot - on his head* Security bloke tried talking the piss pot crown off them and they ran around throwing it to each other so he couldn't get it.

Gotta love it when our colonial cousins are left in a state of total shock by the British sense of humour!

I loved the man utd chant to the tune of 'lord of the dance' for Ji Sung Li (MU Korean winger) 'Ji sung, wherever you may be They eat dogs in your own country Could be worse, you could be scouse Eating rats in your council house' *For our US cousins; 'scouse' means people from Liverpool. Manchester and Liverpool have a rivalry going back years. A council house is state provided housing for poor people.

Leeds fans to Brighton fans “Does ya boyfriend know your here does ya boyfriend know your here” 😂😂😂

Seen many Americans react to this video and find their stunned reactions funny as but your reactions just pure gold the funniest I've seen by far had tears rolling down my cheeks, subscribed

my fav: let's pretend, let's pretend, let's pretend we scored a goal! yeaaaaahhhhhh! (when 4:0 down)

Just imagine if one of these crowds went to an NFL game and chanted stuff like this

Great reaction! You yourself (reactions) had me pissing myself with laughter! We Brits are pretty savage! Very sarcastic/dry witted and funny people! There were so many cultural references in those chants that only native Brits would understand, but do try investigating some of them, then perhaps rewatch the football chant video! 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇺🇦

That was the funniest thing i have seen in a long time. I was in tears for 20 minutes. Awesome video 😂

Americans reacting to football chants is hilarious, they've not seen anything like it and it's not even really a second thought in the UK, just a part of the game, it's like being amazed at someone scoring a goal, it's more than likely going to happen, part of the sport! Loved the reaction video ❤

Hilarious reaction. There's nothing funnier than seeing someone watching this first time and can't believe what they're hearing

The one you like the most, the 'telly' one, as well as all the other Saville, ant & Dec, Brian clough, sheep, etc. are my wonderful club 😍 Leeds United! We do have a savage reputation as fans, especially away from home and have been going to games for 40+ years. Would recommend you look into games vlogs for LUFC more content 👍 Plus we have a US coach now in Jesse Marsch

There use to be a player called Jermaine Easter. He always use to get this chant from the away fans "You're not as good as Xmas".

I've watched so many Americans reacting to this video now and it never gets old, every single reaction has tears rolling down my face 😂👍. New sub from UK 👍.

It’s so hilarious to see someone react to what is a normal part of football life for us. Excellent video, I laughed so much at the genuine reactions from you 😂

Sky TV heavily influence kick off times in the U.K. to suit their schedule. That means that fans sometimes have to travel across the country in the early hours of the morning to get to a 12 noon kick off (rather than the usual 3pm) just because Sky want to show the game. This partially ruins the away game experience for a lot of fans who have their travel plans ruined at pretty short notice.

This has got to be the best reaction video I've ever seen to English Football Chants. If I ever get the money I'm going to pay for this bloke to come over & watch a Man City game at the Etihad so he can experience it first hand 😂

Currently on scaffolding painting a house and downing tools to watch your reaction to this 🤣🤣🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇦

2 things you should know, 1. these chants and many more go on at 100s of games every week in england, these are some but not even close to the best chants you could possibly see and 2. football (soccer) fans in england follow their team until the absolute end, if their club hasnt gone bankrupt then they will support them basically, no matter how good or shit they are. its more important than religion, its a warrior nation acting out its instincts on a peaceful playing field , its tribal, its animalistic and its fucking great fun. WELCOME TO ENGLAND!!!

I'm an Australian, but I ve been a Matchday Steward at Liverpool FC, in the away (visiting fans)end , for 2 years , and these are tame mate. They're usually very topical ( current events)? If you google Jimmy Saville, and Adam Johnson, you'll understand. It's definitely a fun , interesting experience I can recommend. Even as a fan , home, away or neutral. Put it on your bucket list?

Watching this made me realise that probably the best reactions to see are the ones we don't get to see. The faces of those foreign players when they finally understand what the crowd are chanting.

I want to tell you one thing: you are simply the beautiful part of the internet! I am not English and not even American; I am Italian, and I feel this. ..thank you!

Welcome to the British sense of humour 😁😁

Reminded of the England Vs America chant back when the BP oil spill happened off some coast in America. "You aren't swimming anymore."

Youre reactions were priceless 🤣🤣 You need to come to England dude and see some games, the crowd is comedy!

The best reaction I've seen to this video. 👍🏻 Keep up the good work. Respect from the UK. 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

Adam Johnson was an england international that got caught with a minor and spent a number of years in a 10 x 6! Jimmy Saville an ex dj and presenter that was found to have abused 100's of kids over his 60 year career! So don't feel sorry for either.

You perfectly described the difference between American and British sports fans on the We lose every week chant by saying that you were a Redskins fan and changed teams to the Buccaneers. No true Football fan over here changes their team. You can change your car You can change your mind You can change your job You can change your clothes You can even change your wife But NEVER EVER change your team

Jimmy Saville “he must be good though” 🤣🤣🤣

The plant pot one was at my teams stadium (Rochdale). The fans with the plant pots team (Barnsley) were losing 3-0 at the time so needed something to entertain themselves

Your reaction made me cry with laughter Thanks

The goal keeper always claps back to the banter has appreciation and for good sport

You wana come to England and go and watch a match. The chants are ruthless! The Kiddy family one is a belter, it was sung to the Kidderminster fans. One of the best I've ever heard was sung to the tune of The Moray song.... "When your forehead is wide and your teeth are offside it's a Suarez" Sung to Suarez when he played for Liverpool

Jimmy Saville was an absolutely appalling individual.

I'm recovering from a bad case of Covid-19 at the moment and my lung capacity is greatly reduced, so I had to pause the video several times to avoid actual asphyxiation from laughter. Oh God, that HURT! Still, they say laughter is the best medicine, so you've evidently greatly aided my recovery. Thank You!

Your mother is your sister Your father is your brother 🤣🤣🤣 That got me

The watching on the telly chant is supporters having a go at they're own fans watching the game at home. Classic British football.

Who says the British are reserved… just come to a footy match.

Haha yes you answered your own questions ! The steward looked like Boris Johnson.. The plant pot song came about because apparently the game was so boring the fans decided to entertain themselves ! I needn't mention Adam Johnson or Jimmy Saville , everyone else here has commented and you can do your own research 😉 Love your reactions, you were very quick to recognise the well known tunes the fans use but change the words.. we are indeed very creative, very 'savage' (as you put it) and very rude.. But as someone already commented, the football stadiums are one of the last places for free speech!.. and it is also modern-day war-fare.. some teams have a distaste for each other, just because our little island is so compact and just from town to another there is tension.. Personally I think making up creative chants is more healthy than throwing a punch or pulling out a knife or gun 🤷🏽‍♀️ There is still violence sometimes, but more often than not it is the chants that show the "battle" .. Haha .......been binging on American's reactions all throughout the pandemic.. and I love how hard you laugh 🤣👍

I was in the US in April and went to an ice hockey game, baseball game, 'soccer' game and a playoff basketball game and the crowds were soooo tame. The worst things I heard was "Fuck [opposing player/team]" and then "Bullshit" chants for foul calls. My friend and I were so shocked 😂

Thats a reaction what we expect 👍🏼👏🏼 i couldnt stop laughing thanks for that 🤣👍🏼

Boomer. Both sets of fans, home and away chant these songs. Its all in good fun and makes the atmosphere at a football game brilliant. If you ever come to the UK go to a Premier game although all the four divisions are much the same

PLEASE DON'T SAY POOR JIMMY SAVILLE! Watch the documentaries on him and record what you think then!

The most savage chant I ever heard. Bit of context, while back the Togo team coach travelling for an international tournament was shot at by gunmen in Africa, political stuff I would imagine, but anyway people on the coach died as far as I remember, fast forward a few months to the domestic season. A guy named Emmanuel Adebayor who was on that coach was the target. “Adebayor, Adebayorrrrrrr, used to like coach trips, but not anymore”

In Preston England, there was a chant that they used to sing and it was "PRESTONS A SHITHOLE, I WANNA GO HOME" 🤣

First video I've seen of you mate and your personality seems amazing. Your laugh is so contagious

This is definitely the best reaction to the chants I've seen to date.

Probably the most honest reaction I ever seen, amazing job man

"THey'Re ReAllY HaTinG oN ThIs JIMmY SaVillE GuY"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Pretending old Jimmy didn't show him a good time

Never again use the expression poor Jimmy Saville😈

'We lose every week' is quality. You're a funny guy.🇺🇸🇬🇧

The Boris chant is from my local team Oldham Athletic. It was all aimed at that one steward who looks like Boris Johnson. 😆

Love your humor man! Great reaction!

There’s a saying in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. ‘’ whatever happens in a football stadium stays in a football stadium’’.

Also to add to my other comment, I’m proud that most of these chants are from my team Leeds United haha! When they started chanting who’s the slapper in the green, I was at that game

The way you laughed at 2:40 I couldn't help bursting out laughing also. That was true

You have a new subscriber. It is funny because watching these matches in the USA they don't really know what they are chanting so they don't blur it out. I was watching an Arsenal match and a fan close to the commentary box yelled 'hurry up you fucking pricks.' The commentators had to apologize. It was great.

Perhaps some of our Brit football fans should visit some of your stadiums - could stir things up a bit

There's a village in England that does an annual cheese-rolling competition there's a KZfaq video of it it's funny to watch would be worth taking a look at and doing a reaction to it

The stadium you remarked on @ 13:50 is the "Amex" home to Brighton and Hove Albion there's a dog racing track nearby hence the chants about dogs by away fans.

When I moved to Australia from England I got sent to the principals office twice in my first week for swearing.... I was 10 years old lol 😂

Glad you enjoyed it mate. If you've not been to a match in the UK, you will love it. Especially lower division teams.

Really good reaction from you. True free speech at its best and very funny too.

" when your sat in row z , and the ball hits your head , that's zamora " still one of the best, but so many to choose from .....the classic " in ya Liverpool slums " and several about roy Keane ( wanker ) spring to mind lol

I must say that I have seen many American reactors of these football chants, and no word of a lie, this is the best one I’ve seen.

It always amazes me the Americans recations to this video. It's just how English football fans are

"You Brits are fucking creative man!" I'll take that as a compliment. 😅

Many of those clips were of Crystal Palace fans. They are renowned here for their chants at the Selhurst Park Holmesdale Road end. Well worth a visit.

You got a great laugh and smile its contagious 😆 made me laugh, great reaction as always 🙂
