Ya’ll completely missed that “Black People should be Free” Joke 😂

I admit standing in a line in USA is often a conversation starter with people in front or back of you.

The drinking age fell to 18 for well over a decade, but kids kept having fatal car wrecks on our massive interstate highways, so they raised it back.

Snarky Canadian lets you know all about America.

They could do a Casually Explained: Canada and it would just be “waaaaaah America....”

Casually Explained is one of my favorite channels. His comedy is quick, and pretty dense (as in: a lot in a small space, not dumb).

No one actually waits til they are 21 to drink in the US. I'd say 14-16 is usually the starting age.

Typica!l jealousy from Canada.

Drinking has gotten far worse in the last 50 years. College fraternities have killed several students during their stupid initiation rites, and the victims are mostly 17-18 year-old kids. Binge drinking by the young and dumb is a big problem.

Idk how they deem it in Canada, but in the states when an obese guy in a scooter drops in to say "hey" but then leaves w his wife... its not cutting in line!

Im from Maryland, was shocked to learn that many kids in Ohio started drinking at 12-13 in corn fields. I was not prepared for college in the Midwest. I spent my youth doing model UN 😭

I grew up in a foreign country, came to the states. 13 years old, 6'4" 200 lbs. went to a bar, asked for an ID. I gave it to him. He said you're only 13, I said "so"? had no idea there was a drinking age. My buddy's dad ran Bacardi... We were getting hammered since age 11

I think the later drinking age is because your brain doesn't finish developing completely until you're 25, and consuming alcohol before that can affect your brain development. Though that doesn't really stop people lol

Actually changing the drinking age to 21 showed that we were saving tens of thousands teenage lives. It's well worth it.

Canada causally explained: America’s attic…you seldom think of it but on the rare occasion you poke your head up there you’re like ‘hmmm, there’s some pretty cool stuff up here’

The thing about the US is that we are so culturally different, and I don't just mean by migration and settling patterns. For example, in my home state of Iowa, you can purchase an Armalite rifle (AR-15) at 18 years of age, by yourself, with no wait period, but in Illinois, just across the river, you have a 3 day wait period and a background check (mostly due to drug and gang violence). Meanwhile, Wyoming is the naturalists paradise; wide open spaces with rolling hills and mountains and not two states away is California with urban metropolises and beaches. The US is huge, and we don't have a singular culture, but don't be caught saying that the US has no culture, just many smaller subtle ones.

I told my kids if they wanted to drink before 21 do it at the house so I could keep eye on them when they got sick lol. Didn't want someone else letting them die or something. Normally after first throw up they were done drinking lol.

I love your guys channel, but this video was super cringe. This was what someone who just watches the internet and TV thinks america is actually like.

Why is a Canadian explaining America?

Sometimes it's jealousy, but other times, it's pity or shock.

I honestly hate when people talk shit about places like Florida. He's talking about how Americans are fat and that somehow most of the people at disney are locals (lol, 95% are gonna be from out of state or even out of the country, like HIM), but I'm just thinking like Dude, you're in florida during the story! If it's so shitty then why the hell are you paying money to visit a tourist trap there?

I respect Jamie for being willing to risk losing half of his subscribers who didn’t get the ‘free black people’ joke

I've experienced the same 'effect' in lines at Paramount Canada Wonderland near Toronto - I think it's just people in general are good natured and talk to others

4:57 Dave, if you think that the drinking age of 21 stops Americans from starting to drink in their teenage years, then you're incredibly naive. Most people I know, started somewhere between 13 and 16. I'm, personally, a late bloomer and didn't start until I was 20. But that's very uncommon. It's kind of the American way, to rebel against authority.

"One side collect military grade weapons as a hobby" n the other stacks up mental diseases...lol...

Speaking of people being very different a short distance away. I am a minutes away from Garden Grove in Orange County. Years ago when my father a Vietnam War veteran came to visit he almost had flashbacks because the nickname of Garden Grove is “Little Saigon” and it has a very rich vibrant Vietnamese Community (with some of the best restaurants for both French and Asian food -Gordon Ramsey loves the spring rolls from Brodard’s Chateau a Vietnamese fusion French restaurant here). To my right is the largest Latino community in the United States, Santa Ana where one could literally live without hearing English if one chose to. Some of the best Mexican food to be found here. I believe the complexity in the UK, in the US, and in other places, gives some great perspectives and teaches us to be overlook the foibles of others as we expect to overlook our own. Great show gentlemen, I enjoy it immensely.

Internet historian would be fun, check out ''the cost of concordia''

I'm from the U.S. and when I was growing up, the legal age for drinking was 18 which means we started around age 15 or so.

Love watching you guys, and you've introduced me to a bunch of interesting channels, but Casually Explained is one I've followed since long before I found you. Hope you watch more of his stuff! It's all great.

React to casually explained: is she into you.

My dad always told me that if I wanted to try something to go to him first because he knew I'd try it anyway so he wanted to make sure I tried it safely. That obviously wasn't applicable to hard drugs.

Most Americans start drinking by high school. Though I'm sure not as soon as European kids, it's pretty easy to get someone to buy you booze over here

As a proud 'murican 🤣🙌no seriously, we drink when we're kids, we just sneak it at parties, etc. And yes, there's unfortunately a lotta fatties amoeba'ing along 🤣🤣✌️

hi guys I've been watching your videos for a long time now. Just want to say you guys are amazing. keep up the good work

For the drinking there are a bunch of DUMB KIDS that drink illegally, but some young adults (18-20) will have a few drinks of something once in awhile.

It kind of annoys me that everyone that lives outside of America thinks all Americans are fat

College as a freshman is a pretty good indicator of who has drank before and who has no idea what they are in for.

This guy is pretty funny - but he does need to take a history class. 😁

That vid was purely American hate lol

Rather rude to talk about a whole country in a demeaning, dry way. If your putting a whole country down it’s generally because your jealous or at the least, not raised properly. It’s in poor taste.

Hahahaha, In no way was the south fighting for the right for "black people to be free". The thought that black people are lesser is still taught in the rural south.

Love you guys. Keep it up.

Funny you guys actually think American’s wait until 21 to drink alcohol. It usually starts in high school if not younger.

You guys should do casually explained: how to tell if she’s into you. Definitely my favorite casually explained video!

Mike is my favorite! 🥰

For the last time an AR 15 isn't a military grade weapon.

The South was saying black people should be free during the Civil War? I must have misunderstood some irony here.

The drinking age in the US needs to go back down to 18, or the enlistment age needs to go up to 21. As it is you can enlist when you are 17 and 4 months if your parents sign off. Mine did, I was done with training when I was 18, and back from a 12 month tour in Iraq when I was just barely 20. Not old enough to buy a beer for another 10 months. But old enough to kill and be killed.

Hey guys, I recommend the fall of 76. It's video game related but you don't need to play games to understand the video. Actually any of internet historian's videos is fine

FYI in any country you should avoid conversations w ppl who breathe primarily out of their mouths.

That black people should be free joke was pretty brilliant. It took me a second though.

Daz, you nailed it on the head when you described us as such a vast country with different opinions on what's right. That's why the nation's founders made us a republic of states, each with their own governments that would have little interference by the federal govt. The states were meant to hold nearly all the power, thereby allowing people of different ilks to exist peacefully. While we have made positive strides nationally in things like human rights and equality, largely the federal govt has grossly overstepped its bounds in what its role was intended to be.

Trust me, you learn how to drink before 21 in the U.S. My first drink was at 13. And where I live everyone spent their 18th birthday in Montreal because the drinking age was (is?) 18 there and it was only a 4-4.5 hour drive. Typically, unless you live in the middle of a city, every suburb has a nearby park or field that is easy to hide in and get boozy.

My dad would let me have an occasional beer when we had family get togethers or on holidays, but I started sneaking booze when I was 12. Drinking gin in a thermos on the school bus.

I started drinking at 15, and by the time I turned 21 I was pretty much sick of it. So I’d say it all worked out lmao

I think Dave just made the case for a drinking learner's permit.

Why is Stella Artois so cheap and the butt of jokes over in the United Kingdom?? Here in the United States Stella Artois considered a posh/Fancy beer and it's about $10 a six pack or about $5 a bottle if you go to a bar. But then again y'all are close to Belgium and we're far away. 😂😁🍺

Basically every American stereotype.

I have to say, even though British young people get an early start, I don’t think everyone is fully polished on drinking in public. I’ve seen several videos from there with young women dressed to have a nice night out, but falling all over the sidewalk hurling. Binge drinking is dangerous no matter how many times you’ve done it.

Check out the *"What Would You Do?"* KZfaq channel

You guys have to positively absolutely have to listen to Home Free (A cappella), Lee Greenwood (wrote the song), and USAF Chorus sing “God Bless the USA.” Home Free did a prior version by themselves but this one is on steroids. A must watch! 🇺🇸😃

Maybe it's because I live in Houston but no one talks to each other at all while waiting in lines... I think that might be a smaller city/town culture. Also the obesity problem in America is exactly why I work in nutrition ed and am studying dietetics. I'm sure our portion sizes and obsession with more is fun for visitors, but it is literally killing us.

Yeah, like anyone from the US is going to bother to make a video about Canada.🇨🇦 Not likely.

This ain't it chief. Didn't finish the video because I'm beyond tired of the "America bad" rhetoric

I suggest you you react to "Americas almost dictatorship, the attempted presidency of Huey Long" by Monsieur Z it's a crazy story.

Truly, there is nothing worse than a Canada, the only country fit to be America's hat lol

Canadian. What can you expect.

Well, you shouldn't judge how someone looks or gets around....you DON'T know what they are going through. There are illnesses that don't have a very obvious "tell". Plus, they deserve churros like everyone else! They should be able to enjoy fun places/amusement parks as well!

Lol I don’t think it’s about being able to handle the alcohol, it’s about proper brain development.

I love how no one gets it... no one...

Disney is in Florida, and it's the place older Americans go to retire, this is why that guy saw so many mobility scooters, these people aren't lazy, they are disabled. Most Americans are not fat. And only use scooters if they are having trouble walking!! Someone needs to go to Canada and talk about them out of context. Geesh!

You guys should react to History Matters. They are only about 3-4 minutes long each and there are several of them and they are all animated.

This original video felt like a politically charged rant against common sense. 🙄

When tf the south say black people should be free?

4:57 heard of Wisconsin

What a load of crap

The joke of both sides saying black people should be free went right over all of your heads, unfortunately. It was brilliant and not even a cringe or a smirk.

Dave, some people in America start drinking early as well. Lmao. Just bc it’s legal at 21 does not mean everyone waits until then - obviously lol.

Americans start drinking at at like 14-16 and drink until about 22, then don't drink much at all after that.

We in America start drinking prior to 21.... we are pretty much pros by the time we hit 21.

Most kids in the US drink before they are 21. At least when I was growing up. Usually at house party's or out in the country in the forest or a park. Some kids ended up having quite a few minor consumptions but that didn't stop us lol. I have no clue what they do nowadays. Smoke weed and take pills? Dunno? I grew up in Minnesota btw.

Funny this is from a Canadian...Moose broke up with him.

More casually explained please! This wasn't even one of his better videos!

What’s with foreigners’ obsession with us not having universal health care? Most of us like our health insurance and enjoy not having to wait months to see a doctor or paying exorbitant taxes for worse health care than what we have now.

I love it when someone who isn’t from a country wants to educate others about how it works. This guy is funny, but one trip to an obscene tourist trap like Disneyland hardly gives insight into the average American.

Bruh.... 🤣

I am from the most conservative state in the union and we were drinking young too…..we just hid it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Do Casually Explained: English Language

There's a few things to be said for age limits. Sometimes they really help perspective, because the anticipation is that someone older is constantly advising caution; not, "figure it out, unless you do too much". The saying is "you're old enough to die for your country, you should be old enough".

Not that I am a big drinker at all but think of this my Uncle died in WW2 at 17..He could give his life for his country but not legally have a beer and cigar as many many others have.

Your "giving up" comments came perilously close to arrogantly dismissive of people who are thrilled to have a mobility scooter that actually allows them a chance to live life beyond the four walls of their homes. Like me. I'm an obese person, and I've had dozens of comments about my weight being the source of my problems with mobility. The condition I have causes weight gain and extreme pain and numbness and weakness. Without the security of the scooter, i'd jut not leave my home, sometimes not even my bed. And yes, you did add on a bandaid of comments about those who actually "need" scooters, but you're judging people based on their weight, as being persons who've just given up. Bad form, guys.

How are you going to get America explained by a Canadian like let me just explain to you what China is like even tho I’m from the states

Pretty much everyone I grew up with started drinking in high school. But in college they started drinking more often. Natty Light!

:)

The saddest thing to me about KZfaq is that this channel doesn't have more subscribers tbh! I wish more people from America, like myself, would find this channel! I been watching these guys since they had like 2k subscribers or less lol! I mean, I wasn't really watching how many subs they had back then, I just was more worried about laughing at their content lol!

Don’t worry, Americans know how to drink long before 21

It annoys me when people on mobility scooters get in first, they're sat down ffs!

21 to drink and smoke but can join the military at 18 also in the south drinking may start at 10

I live in florida, miami to be exact. I want to know where does a house costs 100,000 down here lol

Sorry I love you guys but that "You have to learn how to drink to learn how to handle it" is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard spoken out loud. I shouldn't have to explain why. But regardless if you have to "learn how to drink" to be responsible with it. You have no business drinking regardless of your age.
