Its not confidence, its arrogance.

I was in London and an American asked me where I was from. I told her that I’m from Nottingham, she said I was lying to her as Nottingham wasn’t real, it was just from Robin Hood movies! 😂 That must be quite a common misconception.

Hi Tyler. True story here. When I was about 12 years old I swore at the queen. She was officially opening a new exhibition centre in Manchester called GMEX. I was really excited and so I got there early. Because I was early, I was right at the front of the barricades. She walked right past me. I was so shocked that she looked exactly the same as she did on TV that I said "Oh shit" out loud to myself. I know she heard me, because as soon as I said it, she looked directly at me and smiled. It was as if she was saying to me, "Yep, it's me".

I'm Cypriot origin, but born and raised in the UK. I was in Cyprus 2007 Christmas time for some family business. I was at a relatives house for Xmas day, and a guy I'd never met before comes up to me asks me "How do you spend all your days in England where it's always raining?" I turned round to him and said sarcastically "With coats!"

An American complained to me that Stonehenge was much smaller than he expected, and was just standing there all alone in a field. Like we should have turned a 5,000 year old prehistoric archeological site into some sort of theme park for the tourists.

An american guy asked me if I spoke American. I replied no, but I speak English. He then asked me if English was similar to American. DOH!

Americans have a well deserved reputation for this.

I used to work in a 5 star hotel opposite the houses of parliament. Number 1 complaint from Americans was 'can you turn off that big clocks chimes?' They meant big Ben which sounds the time. it's a London icon. Ffs turn it off bloody hell 😤 😂😂😂😂😂

When i was in Miami, a waiter who realized I was a Brit commented, "it must be much more difficult to drive on the left" ........

10:49 omg Tyler, yes the Nottingham in Robin Hood is a real place. Sherwood Forest is real too.

None of this should be surprising. The Americans voted for a President who recently confused Egypt with Mexico and referred to the French Prime Minister as "Chairman Mitterrand" (Mitterrand died in 1996) .

Of course the classic ‘where did you learn to speak such good English’

A few weeks ago on another reaction channel the American fella was absolutely blown away, could barely believe that we had modern buildings in Ireland. He seen a clip of Dublin and was almost speechless that he could see office buildings. Did he think, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, IBM, Facebook and all them lads have their headquarters in wee mud huts over here?

We were in a New York department store and a shop attendant asked where we were from. We just said England. “Where abouts in England?, “ he asked. “The South Coast”. “ Where abouts on the South Coast?” We gave in and said we live in Hampshire just out side Southampton. “Hey! I went to University in Southampton “. 😂. He and my husband spent the next 20 minutes talking about Southampton Football Club who he still supported. 🤣

Years ago I worked with a lot of Americans who's knowledge of the UK was based on stories from relatives who spent time in the UK during WW2. They thought that the UK hadn't changed in 40+ years. Telling me that it was always raining and foggy in London. Like they had seen in Hollywood Sherlock Holmes movies.

When my English cousin lived in Florida, he was often asked if it rained every day in London. He said no it doesn't, but i don't live in London anyway. The American replied "Oh were do you live then? I thought you were British 😂😂

Asking a Britt if they had met the Queen is similar to you saying how you golfed with the President before and every single American(USA) plays golf with him. It is just so absurd to think really.

I've just checked,you have at least 3 Nottingham's in the US all named after the one in England which were probably named because the settler came from nottingham.much like every city ,town and village in America because everything was named after a settler from Europe .

Someone once told an American that he'd attended the same school as William Shakespeare. The American asked if he was in the same class.

The Queen question reminded me of the true story up at her estates in Scotland, she was walking with her aide when a couple from US stopped them and asked if they had ever seen the Queen to which the Queen replied he has pointing to the aide - it was the aide that told the story.

If it makes any of you feel better, I’m Canadian and people from the United States still seriously ask us about igloos and dog sleds. No joke! 😂😂😂 I’ve also been waved at by Queen Elizabeth and spoken to Prince Edward while in Canada…. By accident lol

I was watching an old news clip of a BBC Wales reporter in New York asking people on the street what they knew about Wales. He asked one chap "What language do you think they speak" and the answer was "Broken American". 😁

The fact they still don't seem to know the difference between Britain and England. Every single American youtuber I've watched, still confuses the two. No matter how many times they're told.

On a visit to America just before the wedding of Harry and Megan I was asked if I had received my wedding invitation yet. Me and the rest of the 8 million Londoners?

I've been to the states to visit friends a few times and the most I've gotten is: "omg where you from!?" "is it true you guys drive on the left side of the road? that's crazy!" I just play along and it is pretty funny the reactions you get from Americans as Brits.

I wonder where they think the Pilgrim Fathers embarked from if England didn't have a coast.

There's about 1,500 castles in the UK - so it would be pretty difficult to have not seen one. There's something like 15-18 castles within 30 miles of my home.

Most Americans are bewildered when I mention snowing in Japan. Their immediate reaction is “but you’re in the tropics!” Man, we’ve held two Winter Olympics.

i was actually asked by a hot young college girl in Dominican republic... " oh you're from England? Do you know the Prince?!" I blinked twice, then deadpanned "oh, the one who sings ' you don't have to be rich to rule my world..' . that one?" she looked confused, then said, " No, the one who's fighting in Af gan is tan" i replied, " weirdly, no"

The silliest one , and I’m not sure if it’s real but ……😇😇 an American couple visiting Windsor castle asked a local why the Queen had the castle built under the flight path to Heathrow !!!!😇😇

I was in a taxi in miami some years ago when the taxi driver asked if it was true that you could hear big ben all over england

When I was in the states as a 14 yr old, I was also asked if Ive met the Queen. I did meet King Charles when I was a child (he was the prince then) as he was at the opening of a block of flats where I live. I was about 9 yrs old and he came over to me, shook my hand and asked why my class was there, and I said all shy “our teacher said we could come and see you”. Then after we spoke, and he turned away, the press jumped on me like a pack of wolves. It was terrifying. They wanted to know everything that was said, word for word. They swarmed me. Ended up in the newspaper for it. But going on with the topic… not exactly a ridiculous question, just something I’ve noticed….I’m sure a good bunch of brits get asked this too.. when in any European country (that’s where I’ve noticed it the most), whenever I’m asked where I’m from, and I say that I’m from just outside of Manchester… the usual thing that follows is “city or united”? The amount of times I’ve been asked that is unbelievable. I don’t follow football!!

I am a Yorkshire man, and was working in San Jose California. I had to do a presentation to bunch of technical people and not one of them understood what I was saying, they thought I was speaking a foreign language. That night I went to the bar and asked for a bud. Sorry sir I don't understand was the reply so I said a bud please sir. Sorry I don't know that one. So getting pretty pissed off is said in a German accent I vould like a Budweiser bitte mine fuhrer, I got my beer with no questions.😂

Tyler. In 1994 I worked in New York for 6 months. I’ve been to the US dozens of times and visited all but 2 states, Arkansas & Hawaii. I have a Welsh accent but when asked where you are from and if I reply Llantrisant I will say it’s in Wales. I can’t count the number of times I had the response of which part of England is that? If they do understand that Wales is different to England I’ll often get asked if I know their Aunty Betty, she lives in Wales, I don’t even know the people in the end of my street is my reply.

As a half English Japanese raised in Japan I always assumed people spoke American in America, English is spoken in England and The UK.

As someone from Ireland, the only "Irish" people I've heard speak that way, are cartoon characters in shows such as The Simpsons and Family Guy.

I spent about 6 months in the US, this was 30-35 years ago, I am 65 now, I was never asked that question ("knowing the Queen") Americans did not know much outside the US, but were friendly and talked a lot!

I was born and raised in Windsor when I was 17 an American guy with his family in tow looking a bit lost walked up to me and asked if I spoke American? I sarcastically said no only English he replied sorry to have bothered you and walked away. And when I was in Florida and asked where am I from I would say Windsor, then came the Do you know the Queen? And I would reply yes I do, then the don't believe me, but I did know the late Queen and Duke of Edinburgh.

It's not the ignorance that is the problem, is the belief that they can't be wrong and that someone who lives in a country knows less about it than they do. So many examples involve someone from the US claiming to know more about places they couldn't even find on a map.A little humility goes a long way in international affairs, but I guess you have to know you d on't have all the answers first.

When I was in the Bahamas last year I got chatting with an American woman from Texas. I told her I was a retired foster carer. The look she gave me you would think I told her I was a serial killer! What is wrong with the American foster care system? We in the UK are proud to be helping those less fortunate than ourselves? You get a lot of respect for being a foster parent.

Apparently English people speak American, and Spanish people speak Mexican.

I'm in my 70's, and saw the Queen once in 1954 when she was driven down my road. I waved at her x

I wish I was joking about this but a Canadian once started an argument with me and a friend about where the English language originated. She was convinced it was Canada to the point she had a massive falling out with my friend (she wasn't my friend). And yes, I know English is an amalgamation of many other languages but it certainly isn't from Canada.😂

My sister was once asked “Do you got computers?”. Her response was “It’s not the third world!”.

Ffs! Still with the 'Hams' and 'Shires' I see. How many times!

When the Queen died there were some stories about her that came out. I loved the one about some Americans were walking near somewhere where she lived. They met some people out walking and asked a lady if she’d seen the Queen about. With a twinkle in her eye she said no. It was the Queen! 😂

American people are special, bless

I haven’t been asked but if I was I would say yes. I grew up in Windsor so the royal family were neighbours! I have met and spoken to both Dukes of Edinburgh ( Queens husband and her youngest son).

The video call thing is because many in the US believe the US is so far ahead of the rest of the world technologically, when they are still writing cheques, most of Europe at least have been paying by tapping your card for the last quarter century or so.

At my secondary school, people thought I was American because of my Polish accent. Thankfully that didn’t last long…

I watch all your Tyler “x” reaction videos. I appreciate that you go out of your way to learn about other countries. I enjoy your reactions and the fact you put yourself out there to take one on the chin in many of these videos. Keep up the good work 👍🏻❤️🇨🇦

I once saw an American Woman who was about to visit England what language was spoken here, she also seemed to think that England is about the size of the Isle of Wight which is a small island off Portsmouth on the South coast.

I think the reason a lot of Americans think we don't have things like mobile phones and video calling over here is because they watch programmes like 'Downton Abbey' and believe (or want to believe) that that's what it's like over here 🙄😊

Nottinghamshire is a county in England and Nottingham is one of the main towns within the county and the legend of Robin Hood has been around for centuries .

Robin Hood from Hollywood. Well, by that logic, Moses, Cleopatra, Barbie, Abraham Lincoln, ET, and pretty much every person ever being a protagonist of an American movie lives in Hollywood….

What I would love to see you do is something about Germany. I’m from Germany and many Americans have stereotypes of Germany that aren’t true.

Now I'm offended sitting here in Nottingham!

Imagine the looks I used to get from Americans when they asked 'Have you ever met the queen'...and I'd say 'Well actually...yes...I have...twice'....the looks were hysterically funny !

If an American asked me "Do you know the Royal family" I'll respond "Yes, by that logic you MUST have been invited to the White House for a coffee with the President?"

I was in Philly when the story broke about Charles and Diana splitting up. I went to pick my American nephew up from school, He was about 7 and wanted to show me his class room. His teacher ask me about Charles and Diana. Jokingly I said I knew Charles very well as Charles visited our local country pub frequently (not expecting her to believe me. I am from Liverpool we live on our humor and never to be taken seriously . Before I knew it I had 5 teachers surrounding me asking questions 4 females teachers and 1 male. I told them everybody knew Charles and Camilla where always meeting up in the barn for sex everyone in the village knew it years before it came out. They were hooked line and sinker the more they asked stupid questions the more ridiculous my story went. I could tell you lots of stories Ive told Americans in Jest what turn out to be a long Yarn lol. Ray K UK YNWA.

I’ve been watching your Canadian channel for awhile now and had no idea you had multiple accounts. I’m glad I found this channel because I’m about to move to the uk from Canada! Time to binge watch these videos

I'm a commoner from England and I have met the Queen and Charles AND Prince Edward AND Princess Anne AND Princess Alexandria (the Queen's cousin). Not such a dumb question huh?😂 I live in Ireland and I have noticed how odd Americans are when they visit here. One US tourist complained about the beautiful sunny weather and told me it should be raining! Another group of US tourists were truly shocked that irish children were wearing clothes and shoes! They were also shocked that pigs weren't living inside the dirt floor cottages in the 21st century! 😂😂😂 I have a question.... why do Americans speak so loudly and demand special treatment because they're American?

16:38 Americans get Paris, France confused with Blackpool, England because they both have towers 😅

I read about someone from my area in Yorkshire who moved to New York, many people said he was Australian and one man actually called him a liar when he said he was British and demanded he stopped lying it got that heated he just agreed he had lied and said that he was actually Australian just to calm the situation down! 😬

Loved it ! Humble and enjoyable well done. Great content

My son went to Dallas, Texas for a work convention. The CEO of an American company asked him how he felt about his country being taken over by Muslims and was it really bad living under sharia law lol

Now worried that Hollywood guy also would say the same about king Arthur...

I think Tyler should take the word "learn" out of his intro. False advertising.

I've been round Germany. It's different but it's not better or worse. It has very high mountains but it doesn't have any south facing sheltered beaches with tropical plants. So, there's pro's and cons on both sides. And the same is true with all countries in Europe - they should all be visited - each has something totally unique.

What makes the castle question quite ridiculous is The UK is home to over 4,000 castles.

19:16 castles are pretty common here (theres over 4000). For my history gcse trip they took us to the ruins of an old castle. Forgot the name (think it was folkstone which was norman and made in 11th or 12th century) but i do remember teachers searching for a group of boys who decided to play hide n seek in the ruins of this castle which had SECRET PASSAGES 😂. They were looking for an hour meanwhile the rest of us thought itd be a good idea to roll down the hill, covering ourselves in mud. Needless to say that was our one and only history trip (tbf we were in year 11 and didnt have much time for any other trips) XD

About sonw. I knew someone from Hong Kong and the thing that surprised him most about snow was how quiet it was. Usually it is shown in film as noisy blizzards.

Not only is there a Nottingham, there is also a Sherwood Forest.

Theres a woods and i have been in the tree that robin hood im told use to use and people come for miles to stand in. Or maybe they just lied to us all 😂😂😂

You should react to Harry Enfields American tourist comedy sketch

At the age of 4, I could read and at 5 was an avid reader and member of my local library. At 6 my parents bought me a 12 volume Children's encyclopaedia set, the only books I personally owned. By age 7 I could name all 50 states by wrote and knew most of the state capitals plus what they were most famous for. On the current topic When in a Seattle Supermarket the young bag packer asked me if I was from Europe and i said yes? he just replied "Cool" It was only when i was back home in the UK, i pondered which of the 44 countries of Europe he thought I was from!

Most Americans I’ve met have been friendly, there was one guy I met who was very friendly and sweet also but he was surprised that we had Sandy beaches in the UK 😅

17:33 They probably got that from Jack Septiceye, he always says it.

I think the most embarrassing thing about the question which language is spoken in England is that they don't know the history of their own country. Otherwise they would know, that a huge amount of people who founded America came from England. The arrogance to believe they had invented the english language is what makes my head shake.

When I lived in the US Americans always argued with you putting over their point usually a stupid question 🤣

One problem is the number of English period dramas and historical dramas like downton abbey, and things like the Crown lead Americans to think that how we live, no mobile phones or computers and afternoon tea with the duchess

Wonder how many times he's been told that it's "notting-um" not "hyeeeaaam" and "wilt-shr" and not "shyre" , they never learn. 😂 Despite having no problem whatsoever with new Hampshire. 🤦

Many people have met The Queen or other members of the Royal Family as they perform many public duties where they are introduced to members of the public and hold garden parties to which ordinary people (albeit who have done something special) are invited.

In reply to CorringhamDepot4. Yes, why didn't they have theme parks 5000 years ago, instead of leaving Stonehenge in the middle of a field. And I've raised the point before that there should be burger stalls between the stones.!!!

I was going to play devil's advocate for the person who asked what language we spoke in England as there are a few places that have their own languages in the UK like Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gallic, Welsh, and even Cornwall has it's own Cornish language... Then I remembered that he asked about ENGLAND and not the UK, so yeah still an eejit.

Unfortunately, the English language question has been asked too many times. There must be some Americans who have functioning brain cells.

Hi Tyler. Oh no - the question about what language we speak in England is not at all unique. I've heard the same question from others, on other reaction channels.! We should simply ask "what language did George Washington speak, and from which town was he from???". (Washington is a suburb of Newcastle, I had a very tasty local fast food when I passed through there).

Not a question, but what Americans have assumed. For context, im half Indian half white and both times i have gone to America people assume that I am Mexican. Im not offended by it, I couldnt care less, but I found it weird at the time.

I FaceTime my aunt and cousin in L A from Peterborough in the uk. They can’t even figure out how to position their iPad so I’m not looking at their wall or chest. I look at the small box to make sure they can see my face! So we went to the US last year. It was like turning my clock back 20 years! No free Wi-Fi, no instant logging onto various shops internet. No card-less transactions. No information on public transport to let you know when the next bus or train was going to arrive! No online booking for restaurants! No online ordering in Mac Donald brought to your table! Our internet is so much faster than in the US. We normally get 500MBPS download speed and it only costs $38! so you can stream, watch Netflix, play on your Xbox 5 and FaceTime your family all at the same time!

It's not just Americans. I just had a Dutch woman tell me the American flag is the English flag.

The thing is, the British family do a lot of community openings and visits, so it’s not an outrageous question. My mum met the Queen twice. She worked as a nurse, and the Queen visited the hospital on two separate occasions. My mum was in the line of staff that briefly met her.

I'm from England, once when we was In the states, one American man asked if the UK was a damp foggy island off the coast of Australia...duh

When I as younger I saw the Belgian king, driving himself with the queen next to him, on the ring road with an unmarked security car following them. The royals had the only plates in Belgium starting with AA and I am sure it was them. They do visit every disaster in Belgium to support the people, many saw them from close by or even talked to them. They also visit patients and medics often and talk to them. They are very down to Earth for royalty. The kingship is hereditary but not set in stone. The king I saw caused a constitutional crisis. As a catholic he refused to put his signature on the abortion bill saying he too as every citizen had the right to follow his conscience. People understood and the government mixed two rules they couldn’t constitutionally to depose him, passed the bill as his regent, and reinstated him the next day. A very Belgian solution. They said he was unfit to rule so they become the temporary regent until a successor is appointed. They passed the law as regents but never looked for a successor and just decided he was fit to rule again, all with the approval of the king. He wrote a letter to the people explaining his position and stressing this doesn’t diminish his views of people who have abortions but it was just a question of personal conscience.

I was in New York City a few years back and was in the purchase of some Postcards. An Italian American asked me " How`s Mrs Queen ?" Well, they would do - wouldn`t they ? Ignorant people.

Eeeerrrmm! As a matter of fact the Queen has a Garden tea audience with about 300 people on a quasi regular basis by invitation to the Royal Gardens the rear of Buckingham Palace

We went to America I was asked if I was Australian lol 😂😂 I said no I'm British from Manchester I will never for get what she said next oh you named Manchester after our Manchester lol 😂😂 I said I think you will find Manchester UK been there a lot longer than yours 😂😂

If you've heard of Robin Hood you must have heard of the Sheriff of Nottingham. It's a real place. As is Sherwood Forest. :) One of my grandsons attended Nottingham University.

I am terrified for the future of the western world

Brit here, sometimes goes the other way. Many moons ago on a train talking to an American girl studying history over here I asked if she was studying British or American history! God I wanted the ground to swallow me whole as she looked at me and replied “well British of course.”😂

Tyler when you see any of our counties that end in shire (ie Wiltshire) it’s actually pronounced like sheer
