A Question for Brits...

[Rahul]

What I think is telling is the answer that everyone is giving to question number 10. So far one Brit has given the response of a maybe, and the rest say sorry.

If the question was coming from the Brits toward Americans you'd probably have one American say maybe, and the rest would say, "Sure! Just let me know when you're on your way."

People are so reserved over there compared to us.

[NoraBrimstone]

People here have the common sense not to invite a potential murderer to stay with them.

[Rahul]

So you guys aren't more reserved, you're just more paranoid?

[NoraBrimstone]

Yes. Exactly.

Who told the colonial about that?!

1 No, thanks giving has nothing to do with britain.

2 I don't think English people dislike americans.

3 I hate having a monarchy it's pointless.

4 I think english people do better game shows and documentaries, it's mainly a quality over quantity thing. Louis theroux makes a documentary every now and again and you know its going to be good, but americans have reems of shit documentaries like "When fire goes bad 5" and they're always over dramatic.
Americans do better high budget tv series like Lost , Oz and the supranos and even though I haven't watched them true blood and breaking bad are popular. Tv series in england are painfully dull in my opinion.
Comedy is about equal.
Britain has father ted, black books, the ricky gervais show, black adder, peep show and so on,
America has sienfeld, the simpsons, family guy, arrested development and eastbound and down and so on.
although In comedy cartoons americans easily dominate with southpark, the simpsons and family guy

5 I think it would be strange if americans didn't have better teeth than english people due to their history.
They didn't allow people with bad teeth into their country at one point during the war.
They have a big history of slaves and slaves without teeth problems were easier to look after and were more sought after.
Americans have more of a reputation for having cosmetic surgery I'm guessing that includes on their teeth too.
Although saying that I think poverty is probably harsher in some parts of America and they probably have worse teeth.

6 The american accent is sexy.

7 Nothing is great about doctor who.

8 Where I'm from which is in northern england the word "cig" is used more than "fag" I think fag is more commonly used down south though and In London.

9 No because if it had then history might have been changed and I might not have been born.

10 It depends if you're male or female. If you're female then yes if I want to fornicate, but if you're male you will have more chance getting a blowjob from the pope then staying with me for a full week.

4 I think english people do better game shows and documentaries,

I was listening to RadioLab the other day, and Jad and Robert were talking about a game show over there called Golden Balls. That show (like so many British TV shows we steal) would be a freaking hit over here. Split or Steal type shows, so far as I know, haven't been done here yet. It sounded so interesting, but I think it died when one guy broke the show with game theory:

1. Do Brits (including Ireland of course) celebrate the US's Thanksgiving?
No.

2. Do Brits dislike Americans (on average)?
Far too many Brits have been raised with an automatic distrust of 'foreigners'. Things are improving though.

3. Do you like having a monarchy?
A small majority of Brits do. As per 2., that seems to be improving with time.

4. Do you prefer American TV shows over British TV shows (on average)?
Probably.

5. Do you feel there is any truth that Americans have better teeth than Brits?
Yes.

6. Do you think American's have a sexy accent or do you think we sound really stupid?
Neither. I find some American accents harder to understand than others.

7. What's so great about Doctor Who?
Never been sure.

8. How common is the word 'fag' used when referring to a cigarette?
Pretty common in the south & east of England. Almost non-existent in Wales, Scotland and the North, West and Midlands of England

9. Do you wish your country had won the Revolutionary War?
I have no love of our imperial history

Yes. Yes it is.
