"If you live here and you love it, that should be enough! It doesn't need to be no.1!" Is some pretty good insight.

Americans think its no 1 because they can't find any other on a map, nor have visited them

This reminds me of how Trump wanted norwegian imigrants, and the norwegian answer was basicly "Go there to lower our economy, risk more crime and put our standard of living down several peggs? No thanks."

Has anyone apart from me ever noticed that the only Americans that talk about USA being the "greatest country on earth" are the ones who haven't actually spent any meaningful time abroad? 🙄🤔

No one expects the USA to "clean" or "help" other countries, specially when they caused the thing they are "helping" to solve

As always, Jim hits the nail on the head in his unique way.

America is the greatest country in the world. If you have never visited another country in your life.

"if you hate immigrants so much, stop telling them its so great here!"

I hope one day the USA stops being the best country in the world and starts being a good country in the world.

Why do people from the USA often travel abroad with Canadian pins on their backpacks??? Because people from other countries find you guys obnoxious. You are not number 1, you are just annoying about telling us that all the time. Like the guy you avoid at the party. Just sayin.✌️💕

Think they call them self number 1 because of the military that lost to Vietnam

The Greatest Nation on Earth...….. after Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland...…. well let's just say most of Europe, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and New Zealand.

Reminds me of the Newsroom opening.

It's funny how the greatest and most powerful country on Earth apparently never has houses with sufficient power to power a _proper_ electric kettle, due to their wimpy 110 volts. And how their pre-HD television was 480 lines instead of the vastly superior 576 of PAL. And how their football team didn't even qualify for the World Cup 😄

You dont have to be a historian to see that patriotism has never been and will never be a good idea.

Still fighting the taliban in afghanistan, the most powerful country on earth.

Fun fact: bora bora is part of France. It's like puerto Rico for you guys 😁😁

It's about, 'in-group bias.' The stronger it is, the less that group thinks of other groups, and the worse they treat them. They seem so different, that it's even easy to get the group to treat outsiders, as sub-human. It's also easy, to quickly manipulate the group into hating other groups, inciting a potentially violent conflict, and severely reducing the chance of diplomacy. It also, makes them less likely to listen to reason. It's extremely dangerous, because it's an intrinsic part of all forms of prejudice. It is present in, patriotism, racism, sexism, religious fundamentalism, etc, etc. It is also, the core method used by politicians, which is destroying America's democracy! It's killing freedom, through aggressive conformity. If it weren't so powerful, in America? Then Trump would never have been elected! His base, don't listen to the arguments. They're ignorant, but loyal to the team, no matter what! The more special they think the team is, the more special they think they are, the more blind their loyalty becomes, and the more they look down on outsiders. Russia, understands it. That's why they picked Trump! The 2-party system, obviously exacerbates the problem. And, it's now caused the left to begin to show similar symptoms, as the right!

Only approx 15% U S citizens have passports. In 1990 it was 04%. They are a very inward looking nation.

JJ is the only comedian who can truly convert anything mundane into pure comedy gold!!!

Bora Bora ain't a county. It's part of the French Polynesia

"Rome was destroyed Greece was destroyed Spain was destroyed Persia was destroyed How long do you think your country will last? Forever?"

That was pure gold

It's Canada's Time now......oh wait we're gonna be totally baked soon, nvm.

No. 1 invaders as well.

JIM IS A GENIUS!

As was noted earlier, travel is the eye opener for many. Problem, US citizens don't usually acquire passports and when they do they routinely affix some kind of Canadian flag to their luggage/backpacks when travelling abroad. Must tell you something.

this needed the song. I came for the song! "We're far from first but also far from worst..."

Spot on.

Spot On!

Jim's spitting some truth!!!

Fail videos are full of overtly confident people. I for one would find the world much less entertaining without them.

Lol America is a Joke now! 😂

Jim is awesome! :D

03:46 so true😂

The U.S is probably the best out of all the developing nations though. They've got great potential- just give them a bit more time to catch up with everyone else; they're too young to know any better still.

Greed Land

So true!

Wow. That is so true.

According to the UN, America is the 11th best country to live in. So how about instead of proclaiming themselves the best, they aim for the top 10?

0:28 xD

US interfering with another country is not an obligation.

Hahahha that was brilliant

Not usually his biggest fan, but this was well reasoned, funny and even came down on America’s side (but in the right way).

Newsflash: America is not the greatest country in the world.

My grandmother used to say to me... Self Praise is no recommendation. If only she visited America

Sooooo funny!!!

If you want to be the #1 richest person in the world then it's gotta be USA. You'll need a huuuge exploited workforce and few regulations. Thats the freedom. If you're working class, middle class, or happy to just be rich then i recommend Europe.

Role models and even rivals are powerful motivators. Imagine two serious athletes, musicians, academics or even magicians with two different attitudes; Person 1 believes there are people far better than them in their field but hope to one day be among those greats, while Person 2 believes they are already the best and anyone who says otherwise is wrong. Person 1 will constantly be pushing themselves trying as hard as they can to become better, while Person 2 will believe they just need to keep doing what they always have because they're already the 'the best'. Perhaps this is why America is so backwards in a lot of ways, thinking they're the greatest country in the world has stifled their motivation to actually improve.

Something Americans don't seem to get is that loving something doesn't mean pretending that it's perfect. It means acknowledging the flaws, and loving it anyway.

So true, as somebody who isn’t from America I have always kind of admired Americans ability to be confident and their self belief even though it is massively arrogant and obnoxious. Where it falls down however is when you think you are the best you have nothing driving you to continue to be the best because you think you are already there. Most Americans think America is the greatest country in the world because they haven’t been anywhere else. But what do you expect when you pump 300 million people full of propaganda for 50 years

"Power is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't." - Margaret Thatcher

Greatest country in the world who cant seem to afford health care

that is why the 4% military spending is so funny, the EU would be even bigger in military than;)

No they film all of them in Vancouver, which isn’t even in the United States.

Fmd Jimbo this set will go down in legend just as your Gun Control bit did. Mate top effort to u n ur writers!

Aussie Aussie Aussie,oi oi oi.Go jim

xD so true

I learned at about age 10 that if you feel you have to tell everyone how great you are you probably aren’t that great. It’s juvenile.

Good to see Jym starting to center up a bit even if only a little, after getting lost turning far left

I can't get used to Jim saying "we."

UN World Happiness Report: United States: 18th place. That's 17 places I'd rather live.

You can’t self describe as the greatest

The ones that say America is the best in the world is those who never traveled or been somewhere else 😁😁🤫

this show should be called Jim Jeffreies college

Why isnt the US nr.1 in math ?? If you live in the only country where you have to calculate the exact prize of a product, because the tag is without added fcng taxes, you should be briliant in it.... cary the 1.

Btw. Kim Jung Un has an IB Diploma.

Will McAvoy was right

Greatest ever ...so let’s make it great... again!!

Greatest Country, my arse. I hear Aussies say this about Australia, that have never been overseas.

Jim get me a job man me and you would make a great team

The US citizen fixation with claiming they are #1 is similar to Prussia's vain self-confidence of being the #1 military power in Europe just before Napoleon humiliated them at Jena-Auerstedt. It's both factually wrong and sounds like a pathetic attempt to convince themselves.

The Newsroom

Time to Google Flint, Michigan.

What do you have against Flint, MI? You nuts? Ever been? Geez...

Trimp the Baby Blimp with the Shrimp Brain

America is not the greatest country on earth. The first step to solving your problem is realising you have one.

You the bomb! :-P :-) ;-)

Way to be body positive, jim

America its exceptional its number 1. Until Americans start to admit they are not either of these, things are only going to get worse

I'm from Trinidad & Tobago W.I. Now we like the USA however, We are provided with free education all the way to University PhD, health care & lots of Gov't assistance.... this is due to our vast Oil & Gas. fields & hydrocarbons.. & road Pitch. just to name a few 😊

Come back to Australia 🇦🇺 Jim ! Best country in the bloody world, mate

Make fun of trump- ingenious talk show host specialty. Gets super duper funnier the more its done

29th dumbest? Someone's feeling generous.

So ? Which country is better ?

It's funny cause it's true

No'1 at mass shootings

I know for a fact which country is the best in the world but I don`t like to brag.

america is number one movie exporter. thats it. lol.

Finland > USA UK > USA Sweden > USA Canada > USA Japan > USA Switzerland > USA Italy > USA Iceland > USA Australia > USA Norway > USA The Netherlands > USA If you like education, health and health care, social security, the environment, justice, equality, humility etc there are lots of countries that far outweighs USA.

Canada is the 30th what

You watch, the stock market will crash again

It´s even fatter with Jim in it.

Is he Australian?

bla bla Trump bla bla Have fun the next 6 years with that.

Only in America, total braindamage

no1 at invading other countries

"The history of now" nice oxymoron there Jim.

Just by saying your country is number 1, you are saying every other country is inferior. Is it any wonder why there are so many racists in America?
