Thank you for watching me, a humble American, watch this funny video of Americans saying dumb things. This was hard to watch, but it's ok maybe I will just move and I won't have to be embarrassed. Thanks for subscribing!

When you said "I don't like this girl" it's because you were triggered by the way she pre-empted her comment- the same way nearly every American is when they hear someone talking down about the USA.- regardless of the content of their comment. Americans have to be the most defensive and oversensitive people on the planet to criticism about the USA- even if accurate and intended as humorous. You can say what you like about my country- Australia, I'll just shrug my shoulders and agree if it's accurate. This is an aspect of US culture most Americans aren't even conscious of. This "MY COUNTRY RIGHT OR WRONG" stuff sticks out like a sore thumb to the rest of the world.

A lot of everyday Americans are so naive, arrogant or just plain stupid when it particularly comes to geography. They seem very self centred, as they seem to know nothing (or extremely very little) when it comes to to anywhere else except the USA. I don’t know why you seem to hear Americans before you see them, they talk so load!!!! Yes, I have been to America, both the east and west coast and centre. Some places I have been to among your 50 states, include San Fransisco, Las Angeles, Chicago, New York, Florida and also Hawaii. It’s not surprising that per capita the percentage of people in the USA that own a passport is one of the lowest in the world. GET OUT AND SEE THE REST OF THE WORLD. YOU MAY EVEN FIND YOU ENJOY IT AND LEARN SOMETHING ON THE WAY!!!! 🧐🧐🧐

Working at a convenience store in Spain, an American Karen comes to the register and slams a can of Mexican food against the counter, asking for the manager to put her in contact with the CEO of the franchise, saying she was going to have us all processed for selling openly racist products. It took five employees and three online dictionaries to make her understand that "Frijoles Negros" just means "Black Beans" in Spanish.

I'm an English immigrant to New Mexico and I moved here to marry a local gal. She was trying to set up service with an American company and when the agent asked for her address and she told them she's in New Mexico she was told the company only serves the USA, not Mexico. She explained she'd said New Mexico, not Mexico itself. To which she was told, quite arrogantly, "I don't care what part of Mexico it is. New Mexico... Old Mexico... We only serve the USA!" Look, be dumb about other countries. You just didn't learn about them. It's not great, but it is at least a little understandable. Vehemently arguing that a state of the USA isn't in the USA though? IT'S YOUR OWN COUNTRY!

But with this extreme entitled attitude plus the pushing and shoving and demands, I simply told them to get out of the shop because they don’t warrant special treatment, “no matter how much they think that they are the greatest country in earth” :)

My school (in northern Ireland) did a student exchange with US students in 2002, and my friend went and stayed with an American family for a couple of weeks. On the first night during dinner she excused herself to go to the bathroom, and when she came back to the table, they said to her "that must have been quite a treat huh?". When she asked them what they meant, she found out they thought that no one in northern Ireland had indoor plumbing and that we all used outhouses. She had to explain to them that we had plumbing and electricity, and that actually we didn't live in shacks as a result of the troubles.

Here in Australia, at least when I was a kid, in years 5 and 6 (10 to 12 year olds) we had regular ‘geography’ lessons as part of our schooling. By the time I was 11 years old I knew where most countries on most continents were, their capital cities and their approximate populations. It was a normal part of Australian education. ‘History’ lessons in years 7, 8 and 9 (and elective choices after that) were split between ‘Australian History’ and ‘World History’….we learned a bit about ‘us’ and the ‘rest of the world’ so we could know where we fit into the ‘big picture’…. We assumed the rest of the world was learning the same.

I toured the US with 3 friends in 1983. Bit of a bogan trip, they were ignorant. One thought Washington DC was north of California. Another claimed stubbornly that roadrunners didn't exist, that they were a figment of a Warner Brother's cartoonist's imagination ...until he saw one. The third didn't believe it could snow in Texas, until a number of pictures convinced him. Mr Washington-DC-is-on-the-west-coast was the worst. Cable TV was a new thing in the US, and they screened a shitload of foreign films. Including the very good 1981 film, 'Gallipoli', by Peter Weir. Americans were impressed by Aussie fortitude in battle, they told us. Yes, agreed Mr Washington, Gallipoli was Australia's greatest victory of world war 2. Then he saw puzzled expressions on the American's faces, so set forth in a monologue to put aside those naive assumptions it was a retreat in world war one...

His reply was to ask whether I knew his friend who lived in Liverpool, He expected me to know his friend who lived 300 miles away in a country of 65 million people. That's when I realised how ignorant some Americans can be about the rest of the World.

I was a 16year old exchange student from Greece in Minnesota. Don't get me started with the amount of senior students (am..the majority actually)that asked me if we have washing mashines,cuisines, supermarkets, electricity,cars etc. in Greece and they were actually pretty amazed that I was wearing jeans (..what the f*, did they expected me to wear an ancient Greek tunic or something? ).On top of that being extra uncomfortable with all the stupid questions I was becoming really introverted and conscious of other people so ...one of the "famous " guys of school took a romantic interest at me and and suddenly got the courage of asking me out ,I declined (cause I really had no interest at dating at that time),but he persistently wanted to know the reason why not. I tried to be polite but he was not getting it so I told him finally that "sorry but you are not my type"(it's important to say here that I have a Latin appearance- honey toned,brown eyes ,and dark hair). Well...next day blue eyed-blond E. marched proudly towards me saying "Now what you think?Does that qualify enough?" The dude dyed his hair black and he thought he "fixed" the problem! I was awestruck!!! And I have so so much more dumb stories (even from some teachers too). Now what do you think my teen perspective about Americans was ?? Note that 1) they other exchange students from other countries that were in the same area had similar- every single day- experiences and 2) on our return journey that all the greek students that lived in different states chatted and what you know?! We all had similar experiences ("the marmotas day of idiocy "..). So by now I believe you pretty much figured out by now what was our basic conclusion! Now I'm a grown woman and I'm more empathetic and understanding (I'm really trying) but...guys!!You really have to educate yourselves and take an interest on the rest of the world for a change !!If you wanna prevent these thoughts, well... if you don't know something just zip it and do quick researches for starters(google it for cry out loud)!It will only take you a minute at a time now ,geez!!

That's the arrogance of some males the world over. "Lucky you, I just asked you on a date. I know you're salivating at the thought". Then when you say no, however diplomatically, they're not only shocked, but angered a little. And a few will demand an explanation, as if you are obliged to a), always say yes and b), if you so arrogantly decline, offer a reason like flying out of the country that night or you're dying of cancer. No other excuse is acceptable. Sadly, that entitled male attitude is widespread in many nationalities. But stronger and more common in Americans. But dying his hair? Never heard of that one. It's one hell of an anecdote. wow!!!

I was on holiday in the UK. My husband and I were sitting in a village pub, somewhere in Wiltshire. A group of Americans came in, heard us talking and asked us what part of the uk are we from (we are Australian) my Husband told them that we are from Ireland. They believed him. Naturally I couldn’t be outdone, so I told them that if they wanted to see Stonehenge they had better see it ASAP because the snow is coming and Stonehenge gets packed up and stored in a big shed, before the first snow. They were so grateful for that tip that they bought us some drinks and rushed off to see Stonehenge before it gets packed up.

I am an American but I lived in Germany for a really long time. I went to a German school for 2nd and 3rd grade. 4th grade, I was in an American school. I had a social studies class where I learned about how the US works and our role in the world. I learned about the states and territories. 5th grade was like US history(conquistadors, Aztecs, pilgrims, Revolutionary War) which was stuff I mostly knew cause I had a brain. 6th grade was World History(ancient so like Mesopotamia, ancient Egypt, China, etc.). 7th grade was geography where we learned where other countries were and their languages, flags, population, etc. 8th grade was more "modern" US History like the Civil War, westward expansion, and the like. 9th grade was more world history up to the Renaissance. 10th grade was advanced studies of US history I, advanced studies of US history II was 11th grade. I also took British History because I love it along with European history in general. It is my senior year and I am taking AP economics because I thought'd be fun. I also go to school in Alabama which has one of the worst education systems in the US last I checked. Point is, Americans are taught a lot of this in school. It's just a matter of who is paying attention and has 2 brain cells that generate an iota of common sense.

Ireland isn't a country who's history is tought a whole lot even here in NZ, and well it makes sense when you look at your history because your neighbour country happens to be the one that thought it was a good idea to go around and colonize all of us and constantly have wars with everybody in your area for hundreds or thousands of years maybe lol.

In younger years I used to be a taxi driver in the beautiful Austrian Alps, in a Region where a family named "Von Trapp" started their emmigration to the USA in the beginning of the third reich... This family got famous in the U.S. later on and a movie about their life named "the sound of music" had been made in the 1950s... It may be famous in the USA but in Austria almost nobody knows the family or even the movie... One day I was ordered to bring a family from their hotel to the Salzburg airport, a trip for about one and a half hours. While driving I started some small talk and asked them how their journey had been... They told me that they were so disappointed about the locals wearing normal clothes and not the typical austrian "Lederhosen" and "Dirndl" and that the city of Zell am See must be a fake because it has nothing in common with the landscape and the mood of the movie... The rest of the trip got very quiet...

I waited until they left, approached the indigenous man and apologised to him on their behalf. He took it very well. True story. 😞

To be fair, 'interracial' marriage for our indigenous peoples only became lawful at a federal level with the introduction of the Marriage Act in 1961. Before that, states and territories were able to (and some did) restrict such marriages, subject to the approval of Aboriginal marriage applications by specified government representatives for each state. It wasn't until the 1971 census that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders were even counted as part of the population......

In the mid-20th Century, Australia, the US and South Africa were known throughout Europe (and the world) for their racist policies and laws and their fixation on 'white superiority'. It was well known, particularly among peoples whose family members had emigrated to these countries after WWII, that 'non-whites' were subject to marriage bans, limited citizenship and restrictions on voting. It was like that for most of those countries' histories post-colonisation. It's quite possible that those tourists still held very outdated understandings of Australia's cultural landscape and were ignorant of the massive social changes that have taken place over the last 50 years....... which I acknowledge demonstrates a deep and abiding commitment to ignorance of a country they intended to visit; but that's how some people still see Australia.

So we visited not only the cathedral but also a Biergarten at the Rhine River, not one of these tourist traps, one people living in cologne visit. With cologne typical food and drinks. We ordered some food and beer. Kölsch comes normally in a small 0,2l glass. But the cousins (40 yrs old), whose aim was to get drunk as quickly as possible, insisted that they'd be given "a real German beer". They argued with the waitress and then even called the boss. In the end they got Kölsch in a Bavarian mug. 1l Kölsch. My girlfriend and I were embarrassed, she said she just barely stopped the cousins ​​from wearing their fake Lederhosen. I find it very annoying that Americans often think that Germany is part of Bavaria. That's like thinking of the US as part of Texas. Not only New Yorkers would be offended.

You do know that every Country has their own share of stupid? It is just that there are so many Americans you see it more. Wasn’t helpful? Okay try this from Australia. I sent my daughter to school speaking and counting in 4 languages. Her IQ is Mensa level and it was rare to have just one child at home with me who loved to learn anything. She started learning languages at two years old, she wasn’t fluent in all but she was good. I got a note from her teacher after 2 weeks asking me to come in at lunchtime so she could show how stupid my child was. I went because she had my attention and I told her to show me how stupid my daughter was. She told her to count to 10 which she did perfectly in Italian and I told her that. I told her to please specify a language the next time and the teacher was embarrassed but then she made it worse. She told me she didn’t realise with her colouring that she had Italian heritage, she doesn’t. She is very pale in colouring and when she was born her hair was so light it didn’t look blonde, it looked white. Then I wondered if the teacher knew in Southern Italy there were blonde Italians and dark Italians? I told her the other languages my baby spoke and she had a love for learning languages. No, none of them were a part of her heritage. I was scared that she was teaching my child for the rest of the year but my daughter just ignored her or corrected her when she was wrong. Yep, I got a letter about her correcting the teacher in front of others. I asked if she wrong and was told no because she always showed the teacher where she went wrong. Then I asked would she rather teach the wrong information? If not why didn’t she ask my child to check what was on the board before class started and she did. My daughters first child did the same thing for her grade 4 teacher. My Granddaughter is now a Genetic Research Scientist who came first in her Bachelors degree and first in a year of Honours and is just finishing getting her Masters and Doctorate. She teaches 3rd year Uni in Chemistry and Biology while she is finishing so she doesn’t need an outside job to live. We only have high achievers so stupid really stands out.

@@ruthstaus409, no. I don’t believe you have anymore stupid than any other Country. I do believe that teachers have very little power left over a class and it is becoming the same here. I also think it is because in America they lower the pass rates to keep a school’s levels up. Our teacher’s only power is to keep a child back if they don’t pass and they use it. I now know as an adult the teacher was being punished too. Children today know the teacher cannot make them do homework. Or even sit and be quiet during class because they cannot discipline them anymore. I don’t mean using the cane. I mean having the right to keep someone in until they finish what should have been finished in class. My teachers used to keep us in at lunch, we would get 15 minutes to eat. Then we got to hear everyone playing and having fun, that only ever happened to me once. It was a mistake, she was looking at the book of the girl that sat next to me but I never corrected a teacher. We were raised to respect them and all adults. We were more scared of our Mother’s getting that rule wrong than the teachers. Not now and both of our Countries need to make some changes now.

I think the arrogance and ignorance of Americans is why these sorts of tik tok’s exist, and why every other country on earth takes great pleasure in ripping into the US. I live in Wales, (it does exist) 🤣 and I got asked if I knew the Queen… like yeah, sure, she’s my next door neighbour… 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yeah. Currently attending uni in Wales, and during freshers week (the Queen died just before that started), I was approached by an international student from America who was surprised at how little we all seemed to care about the funeral. He was under the impression that we were all close friends with her and should have been absolutely devastated. Kinda cute, really.

Spent 3 weeks in Spain one summer doing an intensive Spanish language course, there was this girl in my class from Florida, she was there for a few weeks before starting university (UCLA). At the end of one class she asked the teacher (in english) which train she needed to get to go to Mexico, she wanted to spend the weekend there. We just stared confused. The teacher asked 'Mexico?' She confirmed. The teacher told her she needed a plane to go to Mexico. The girl just said 'Oh, I thought I could get a plane'. The teacher was trying hard not to laugh.

Yeh dude the ones that ask people from England what language they speak always blows my mind. And people that think the Spanish language comes from Mexico not even realizing Spain exists always makes me shake my head. Your countries education system needs to work on its international history, more specifically the history of the empires. Maybe then they'd realize they are currently speaking English because of people from England in the British Empire, maybe then they'd realize people south of your border speak Spanish because of the Spanish empire lol. They might even just maybe come to realize how the current American empire is just as evil as the others and why a large chunk of the world hates Americans in the same way the Americans hated the Brits before they gained independence. The US doesn't have much in the way of history in the big picture so it does leave me wondering what American schools are teaching. Most of us hated history class so there's that part that I understand, but this stuff I'm talking about is really basic stuff that you should be learning long before you even hit high school. Oh and that would give the answer on what language we speak in Australasia and why lol.

Do not think Ryan knows his fellow Yanks as well as he should, this stuff is so common, This week a US News Presenter told viewers Australia's Govt is the same as Chinas and he was serious, not that we are like China but the same, has he not seen Pacific Forum this week. Fox a RW so called intellectual last week said USA needs to follow Australia's example, they only have White People and no Crime, News Presenter totally agreed with him, FFS US Media is mess New and Old ignore the world events, could barely find a mention about our Election, Quad Mention, Pacific seem to only cover Cute or irrelevant issues like a Tennis Players Visa. PBS try's but comes no where close to ABC, SBS or NITV Other thing they do is take Hit TV shows from other countries and remake them for Yanks, this is why they can never pick out different English accents, they do same with Movies, Even when one makes it like Croc Dundee the Yanks will tell you they made that movie, reason there were shots of New York in it.

Going to America, every second person was amazed at how well we spoke English coming from Australia. Ummm… we speak the Queens English. It was amazing how insular American education seemed to be and how they thought no other country could hold a candle to the USA. Australian and British education values world wide knowledge, including continents, countries, spoken languages, and history. Everyone I know from Western Europe and Australia is thankful they don’t live in America.

I have a secondhand story for you, Ryan. In the 90's, I had a neighbour who routinely drove a semi to from Ontario, Canada to Florida. On one return trip, at a pit stop just before the border bridge at Detroit he spotted another driver putting chains on his rig's tires. He asked him what was going on and the driver who was American replied, "Well, I checked the map and I saw Canada is all white, so I'm gittin' ready for the snow." IT WAS JULY!!!!

I'm feeling and understand your pain Ryan. Just to put you at ease, we have these people here in Australia also. Many years ago I brought my Spanish girlfriend over to Oz to introduce her to my family. We were at a family get together, and during the course of a conversation my uncle asked her if they used knives and forks in Spain. My girlfriend (later wife) was so offended. I think no matter wherever you go in the world it would be easy to make this video.

Things change all the time and there is a different curriculum in every state, however it is my understanding that kids at primary school in Australia are generally taught where various countries are situated, their flags, cultures etc. I don't think the Philippines in Europe thing would ever fly here. Australia has a predominantly European culture similar to that of the US and many of us could possibly afford to be as insular in our thinking, however most people here have a curiosity regarding every other place on earth. It possibly helps that we have 2 public broadcasters that are well funded in the ABC and SBS, that devote a portion of their programming to documentaries and overseas matters. Our commercial news and current affairs television also brings us this information to a smaller degree. Apart from AFL, all of our other sports involve international competition and because Australia is so relatively young, most people can trace their ancestry back to the nation/s from which their ancestors migrated. I just think with Google and the internet these days, people have near infinite access to this sort of information. Before that there were encyclopedias.
