Don't worry Buck/Biff, he's probably just pandering to his audience. Don't believe him when he says you are rude and inarticulate.

"nice teeth brit face. i have a question... Go, to a dentist."

You just showed yourself up for exactly what we believe is the American stereotype. I thank fuck I don't belong to a nation that is so worried about the way they look

Hilarious. You'd have to be British not to find that funny!

Nothing drives two nations apart like superficial differences.

Luckily my intelligence impaired friend, being British, he will go to the Dentist, and being British, he won't be put off by having to climb any stairs along the way, nor worry if his dentist doesn't do home visits or have a "Drive Thru" dental surgery: You see, us British people (indeed everyone who's not American - I know the thought of someone not being American is hard to understand but bear with me:) We have these things called legs, they allow us W A L K - I know it's a strange and largely, alien concept most American's can't understand but underneath that wide expanse of your waistline are two appendages that allow you travel places without the need for a car.

I'm sure you can stretch your greasy, chubby fingers to the other side of your sofa, past the bags of empty potato chips and pizza boxes to find the TV remote when you can flick through one of your 1000+ channels and find some information about it.


apologies to an Americans with an IQ past double digits

Um, that's not a question...

Oh and about the video...he makes a point I never thought about. Not that I even care what people make ('cause obviously I don't make that much myself so I wouldn't want to be judged by those standards myself), but I never thought that small talk was a way of extracting somebody's worth, intelligence, knowledge, etc. I guess that sounds like a fun game. I don't think I'd be very good at it but maybe I should learn.

Thank you for being the only person on the internet to understand irony .

Edit: oops, i meant to say sarcasm. i don't want to debate the definition of irony >>.

^Hah, another American stereotype detected. The only ironic thing here is that an American would call out a Brit on not understanding irony

Your comment didn't even come close, i'd go back to the drawing board on that one...

thats not irony, its a stupid statement, not a question

^ I think he/she is aware that he's not asking a question and is in fact making a statement and this is what she presumes to be irony

Hello there, i wonder if i can help you - i'm british, and it looks like you're having a little trouble with the meanings of words. Don't be embarassed, you're probably in the upper percentile of your nation for knowing that a word with 3 syllables exists. Then attaching some emotional value to the word beyond the literal "it's a little bit like iron" is far beyond even toddler level!

Irony is a way of saying something that is intended to portray the opposite meaning to that which is stated! If we were watching David Mitchell's perfect teeth and everyone was, to a man, thinking "Wow, David Mitchell really doesn't need to go to the dentist!" This might then be an ironic statement.

Possibly the word you were looking for was sardonic. This word would apply to a scornful statement intended to heap derision upon the person it was aimed at.

For example if i were to call you a "burger eating, war mongering, archaic-theocratic bunch of fat inbred hillbillies with an army which has all the gear but no idea, and a penchant for making enemies of countries they're trying to liberate by acting like schoolyard bullies", then we might be referring to a sardonic comment.

first post down to -3. keep it coming

now i know how BillO feels.... its cool tho, u can't really get mad at somebody for not getting a joke.

But of course, you got EVERYONE's jokes, didn't you.. yes, you're very clever and aloof.

^ Irony.

^Sarcasm

Jesus this thread turned into rubbish.

I'm simply amazed how many of the above posters didn't realize this was a joke in the first place. Not a very good joke, but obviously a joke.

Oh it's easy to point out sarcasm and irony, it's much harder to shut up.

How about religion? ZING!

Nice teeth Brit-Face. I have a question... I could totally go for some bangers and mash right about now.

Brit-Face? .... Does that mean someone from Assyria would be Ass-Face?

Falkland Islands? Falk-Face?

Ironically the sardonic statements in this thread are very sarcastic.

Very good.

Following is apple tree horse lies: berries; xylophone's worried department -- or loquacious pandemic of pies; state sperm potato mix, Heracles?

I thought hierarchical distinctions of social class was the whole point of England.

DM = Danger Mouse.

Apparently British people are very sensitive about their teeth.

That's the only conclusion I can draw from this comment thread.

I will be sure not to ask any of the brits I know about their teeth while I'm commenting on their terrible national food. Or asking how much money they make.

VideoSift's gotten so petty...

I wouldn't call it petty really. The age old american/british sterotype war still rages on and always will hopefully. Can't be seen to agree on everything now can we!

I'm pretty sure no-one has had their feelings hurt in this thread

Your cute puppy avatar is cute.

So how much money does he make?

not enough to see a dentist...

Im American thought the video was hilarious. I like British people but only have acquaintance with one but she lives here in America. Id have to say seems like both sides were offended and rightfully so. Pointing out somebody's short comings is easy we all fucking have them. Hell I dont like the fat American comments well because Im a fat American. But then Im groomed to be I live in a state where all the homes are miles from the grocery store and everything else. The sun is always heating the shit out of everything here you walk outside to your car in the middle of December and you have to change your shirt from all the sweat. As far as nutrition goes I guess my mother was too damned in a hurry from driving three hours in traffic to get home at 8 to feed her three kids. So in those conditions how could I be otherwise.

That was clever, and good delivery. I wish more comedians came across as thoughtful and not just opinionated.

But I can't help but wonder if the American was just very naive, but well intentioned. Comedy is an unusual career, perhaps he was just curious if it's possible to make a living at it. A person's income is only taboo to discuss when you actually believe it is a measure of their personal value. And I really don't think most people are so deluded.

Thanks. I take my petty criticism back.

As ever it's worth noting that American teeth are just as bad as British/European teeth. They just spend a shitload more on covering up that fact.

The video does acknowledge that English people (not sure about the other countries) don't like to talk salaries. I certainly don't and wouldn't dream of asking. I don't even know how much my best mates make.

This is true everywhere. The comedian in the sift is annoyed by the behavior of one asshole who happens to be an American. I live and work in the American south, and I don't know anyone who would seriously ask a coworker, acquaintance, or especially a perfect stranger such a crass question.
