Why do Americans think of English people as super fancy and posh? I always see it on TV and if I'm ever forced by my little cousins to watch their shitty American vlogs they do le fancy englishmen shit and it's cringy as FUCK.
I just don't get it.
Oo hello madam might you like a spot of tea and crumpets jolly good hohoho.
Why do you Americans do this shit?
Liam Johnson
Bond and Hugh Grant were known before hooligans
Charles Mitchell
they never met english people hence this romantic view
Benjamin Gray
>Why do you Americans do this shit? Because Stephen Colbert and John Oliver and Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon and Trevor Noah and Jimmy Kimmel say so and they get all their information (outside of school) from them.
Brody Flores
>implying we get information from school

>Why do Americans think of English people as super fancy and posh? We don't? We just use the stereotype of the English gentlemen a lot in our media, often for comic effect. The incongruity of a person who thinks of himself as proper doing improper things is considered funny.
Why do non-Americans, particularly Australians, think they have a deep understanding of American culture just because they constantly wolf down our pop culture like disgusting animals?
Matthew Scott
>American culture
Daniel Richardson
>he said, speaking the American language on an American image board
Jeremiah Collins
No the proper englishman doesn't do unproper things, but I'm talking about the ways Americans fantasize about and role play le fancy British man.
And don't try to tell me this isn't true. There's even the huge trend about le fancy moustache and monocle and top hat bullshit you got going. It was so annoying being on the Internet at its height. Non stop le fancy englishman look everywhere and people acting in that manner
Christopher Murphy
Come on Americans
John Wilson
Tally ho, wankas
Eli Myers
Kek.
I find it funny how Americans find it so fun to be British but are so scared of the word cunt
Anthony Peterson
We're scared of how women react to that word.
Noah Wilson
if english are so tough why did they get rekt by russian hooligans in france
Nathaniel Cooper
>We're scared of [...] women indeed coinciding with our inexorable and permanent decline in global power and economic growth
Lincoln Collins
Yeah, this "trend" is mostly contained to your constant imaginary fantasies about what Americans are doing and thinking, and, as you have just admitted, is based on your time browsing Reddit. As a solution, I suggest stop obsessing over my country and stop using Reddit memes to prop up your bizarre stereotypes.
Three days ago my nation celebrated killing tens of thousands of British people with one of the largest fireworks displays on the planet right on our National Mall. On the other hand, your nation has actually placed the British flag on top of its own flag and regularly celebrates its depedence to the UK. If anybody wants to be a "le fancy Englishman," it is clearly the Australian
Kayden Myers
>3 days ago 4th of July was 4 days ago lad.
Not obsessing about you either, forced to deal with your shit on anything I look at anywhere on the Internet or TV or even in games so I see let fancy British man thing all the time.
We don't want to be the fancy British man and besides we are still under the Queen.
Jonathan Watson
I am actually the fancy English gentleman you think doesn't exist anymore.
Christopher Gomez
Cuck
Nicholas Perry
so a fedora tipper? kek
Luke Bell
Cringe
Kevin Murphy
because we look directly at the royals and rich English people
Juan Diaz
>americans expect you to be fancy and posh >actually you're poor and have a thick accent that's hard to understand
Thomas Kelly
Don't worry if you're a northerner we don't even expect you to act human
Camden Barnes
It's still the 7th in the land of the free.
Nolan Long
what are "things that are made up about americans", Alex?
Caleb Wright
I'm not even northern, I just have a thick lower-class London accent
Xavier Bailey
No see I learned about America through Sup Forums memes, Reddit, and Seinfeld
Ryder Anderson
>We don't want to be the fancy British man
You're not. The last time an Aussie was popular in American media, he got killed by a fish.
Ryan Powell
underrated post
Europeans will also claim that they are not also stupid as fuck low testosterone barely human cattle like americans, but this is not the case.
David Sanchez
Anybody who's been to Europe knows this. Sadly, not many Americans travel to any place that doesn't have warm sandy beaches and drinks with little umbrellas.
Jayden Morris
The European superiority complex isn't as strong here as it is on places like 9gag and reddit.
James Cook
Bullshit, even the third world shitskins on here have a "superiority complex", especially in regards to Americans, which is 10x more hilarious than when it's coming from a European.
Jaxson Parker
I am super fancy and posh u cunt
Oliver Edwards
Hey Dundee is still a national hero
Lol bullshit, it's way worse here, on Reddit you don't know who is who and Brits aren't nearly as insufferable
Nolan Cruz
Only poor people go to Europe for a Holiday m8 (Excluding France,Germany and Scandinavia)
Cooper Reyes
Brits coming here are trashy as fuck.
Kevin Garcia
t. guy who lives in the south of France and thinks that's actually France
Brayden Lee
>Hey Dundee is still a national hero
I know. Paul Hogan is a genuinely nice man as well from when I met him years ago. That's why I said "last", Dundee was the 80's bro.
Lucas Rogers
I live in the alps and only people with a decent sum of dosh can come here.
I reiterate, brits are trashy as fuck, followed by dutch and russians.
Charles Sanders
The Brits who go to the Alps are trashy?
Poor people are trash regardless of whatever country they come from.
Alexander Lee
>The Brits who go to the Alps are trashy? Yes, even the rich ones.
Christian Torres
It's not that bad here. Try reading the comments section on any 9gag post even vaguely related to America. It's nothing but references to Bernie Sanders, free healthcare and "retard units".
You just gotta separate the banter from the chaff.
Christopher Rivera
The only non-trash Brit's I've met on holiday were some old people in la Brenne, but most Brits iin France are certainly trashy >dutch But caravan-Dutch have no dosh. Your story is full of holes
Austin Walker
Because the only English people you really see here are very well educated professionals that get jobs here, usually in academia, or people who are rich enough to piss away thousands more to go on the same beach vacation they could have done in italy or greece. just to say they 'holidayed in america'
Mason Myers
It's really our retarded media. Whenever there's a historical/fantasy show on TV the aristocrats speak with a posh British English (see: Rome, GoT etc) the English stereotype is handsome gentlemen with top hats sipping tea and eating crumpets instead of an obese retard with a Liverpool t-shirt stuffing his face with some greasy crap.
So yeah, the media.
Leo Hill
well that is true to some extent, that stereotype is perpetuated, but we also dont see "obese retard with a Liverpool t-shirt stuffing his face with some greasy crap." cause he cant afford to vacation here
James Martinez
>But caravan-Dutch have no dosh. Your story is full of holes Not talking about the caravan people. Those are going in the south of France with the brits.
William Gomez
99% of the English people we see are actors, politicians, reporters and royals. They usually dress well and speak BBC newsreader english. We don't see a lot of thick accented, hard drinking working class type of Englishman. Unless of course we go out of our way to watch a lot of British television shows.
Tyler Ortiz
Non-Americans are credulous buffoons

>American posts a picture of the sun emerging from the horizon and writes "what a wonderful sunrise guys!" >the responses pour in from all over the world >"the sun is a stupid meme, it's just a bang average star." >"Holy shit Amerilard you do understand that the sun doesn't actually rise?" >"Burgers are amused by barf-coloured skies, so typical of their crass outlook in life, not to mention their """humor""". I prefer Monty Python and a nice layer sediment"
Isaac Russell
Because they are associated with being like the overlords and the Kings+Queens of the olden times. Not to mention all the classical literature, etc. And lords/ladies etc. Honestly, even on Sup Forums Brits seem pretty classy to me, they look like professionals compared to Latinos or Aussies or French or Turk etc etc.
Nathan Martinez
this is actually partially true
Jacob Smith
Is this actually true in Europe then
Always figured we were pretty bad, I mean I'm well behaved but I did make the stupid mistake of wearing a braves jersey through London once lmao oops
