When people from the USA visit GERMANY

Relax

Don't worry I'm here Radical

Hello world.

Hahaha... that makes me really wanna visit Germany

I'll make sure that this video reach the americans at the office today

You're welcome! 😊

🤣🖒

Because of sprawl, public transport cant be as fast or efficient in the US, add on to that the fact that most US citizens see public transport as something for "The Poors" and you get a slow, grossly underfunded, and inefficient system.
Portion sizes probably has to do with the volume of food grown locally in the US making it less expensive to make more. Then, being in competition with other restaurants, you don't want to be the place with "less food".
Lastly history Education has to do with the motivation of children to learn. It is very difficult to teach a child who is apathetic to learning. For instance children in the western half of the US don't get all that enthusiastic about thing that happened 3,000 miles away as they do learning about stuff they know they can visit. They care even less about learning European history from across an ocean. A kid in the UK can learn about Hadrian's wall being built almost 2000 years ago and learn that no matter where on Great Brittan they live, it's less than 500km from the wall. Hard for a 7 year old to care Plymouth rock when they live 4,200 km away in Los Angeles. That's more than the distance from London to Bagdad. Not saying that its okay to have shit transit and education, just that there are challenges inherent to the US that contribute to the differences.

Well you went to there wrong city then

Lol. "Large portion sizes". You don't have to eat large portions, no one's forcing you to. On the historical side, let me ask you this: How do you teach ppl about history when the population is diverse as America is? Why would some students from a latin American background, say Guatamala, or student from perhaps Guam give two shits about history that happened in Europe, Africa or the middle east? It wasn't their ppl, so why would that interest them? Germany is still a very homogeneous nation even though it also has many foreigners, but that's what makes the difference. A nation of mostly Germans learning about their ppl's history and the history of their surrounding neighbors which affected them is going to interest them.
In America, they'll learn the same history, but to many students it really won't mean much. There's absolutely nothing tying them to the history. Most of them will just think, "It was a bunch of boring shit that happened to white ppl" in countries they couldn't point out on a map if their lives deoended on it. Oh, and we do have history, obviously but good luck in cherishing it or even teaching it bc everything's racist now.

@TheGoldenDragon Germany really isn't homogeneous anymore. Ethnic Germans are 70% or so of the population and are a minority in a few areas now, they are projected to become a minority in German over all by 2060 according to the Clovis Institute.

😂 seems about right. That’s hilarious. Obviously It’s pretty normal here.

@George the Bug eater Another reason is that we already have many supermarkets here, so there wasn't really a need for a new one. The American way of friendliness being considered fake and creepy and the terrible worker policies were basically the icing on the cake

@Nox Atlas in the Midwest USA where I’m from, it’s just about respect and hospitality. It’s not necessarily fake, we are just friendly to strangers out of respect. If you ever visited here you would feel a genuine feeling. Especially down south. It’s just how we were raised since we were children.

@George the Bug eater I don't doubt that americans are genuinely friendly and respectful. But the cultural differences can make things difficult and leave a biased impression. What's normal for you might be considered "too much" in other places. For example: Americans come off as exaggerating a lot (be it emotions, facial expressions, the size of dishes, the overblown Hollywood Blockbusters, etc.) which leaves the impression that they're faking a lot.
Americans, on the other hand, might consider us as cold, probably rude because we're infamous for being very direct, distanced and having no sense of humor. We know it's not true, but that's how other nations see us because they have a different way to interact with each other.

I am German 🇩🇪 my wife is American 🇺🇸
And I love her to the stars ⭐
Don’t worry America Germany have your back 🇩🇪❤🇺🇸

Did you shoot German people there?

​@Utkarsh G. Bhartiwell, naturally!

​@Stefan JagerGermany has America's back? Bruv

@1ミMΩŊTΩЯIミ I mean 🇺🇸🍑🍆🇩🇪

That why I advocate and like public transportation more. Why which do you prefer to stay in a car for an hour stressing about traffic or stay in a train or bus with headphones one relaxing, reading a book, get ahead of HW or even a take a nap because you missed on sleep. Mmmm the second one sounds better to me!

Public transportation is nice but a personal vehicle is nice to fall back on. When there's a disaster or earthquake public transportation is the first to go

We don’t have the population density to make widespread public transportation profitable. If you want better public transit you have to make more people.

Trains make more sense in tiny, cramped Europe than in the vastly bigger, much more widespread United States. Only the Northeast makes sense financially for a bunch of commuter trains. It would never work in rural Texas, not enough customers.

You need two wings to fly afterall

gotta show both sides in one video I guess

So he is a Jreg fan.

I was looking for this comment. 😁
Pro gun but is offended by everything.

That’s what I was thinking!

One of the funniest videos I’ve seen. I really love my adopted country but I will be honest, Germany has better public transit that the us by a lot.
(I’m natively Canadian but they’re much worse for lots of reason haha)

At least it went better than when Japan took a shot at the US

The American stereotype is so offensive but so true at that same time XD

I wish they would 'cause I like humor even when it targets me haha

This is the same in all countries of the EU.

I laughed until the part where they were drinking beer on the bridge. I also found it funny that the American thought Germany needed to be more free even though Germany is more free

But taxes are pretty high.

You have to pay crazy high taxes in return, don't fool yourself

@amir faqihi Only crazy high compared to the US. In return we get (mostly) free healthcare, (mostly) free access to university and other venues of education, (mostly) working fast public transport, social security, (almost) unlimited sick days, a minimum of four weeks paid vacation...
And so on and so forth.

Wow, thank you!

The corona crisis still made it even more difficult.

How are you doing

I am German and moved to Sweden. Planning ahead is next level there.

I am German and a big fan of the US. I even have a US Flag in my room

@TangentShark 45 why

Why though?

@Neda T. Why not?

@Kither Gilliam it's weird af

I'm American and I whole heartily agree with you...not only that, it's expensive dirty water.

there are so many people in the world who don't like Italian style coffee

because they look like dirty water instead coffe, which is supposed to looks black.

I mean for an Americans there isn't any coffee shops that are halfway decent at an alright price I take what I can get

Lol, indeed.

Me as a german never heard this terms. Can you descripe what trigger discipline or muzzle discipline means. Do you mean his wild eyes when he took his gun? ;-)

@Andre Gerritzen meaning keeping your booger hook off the trigger till you're about to shoot and keeping the weapon pointed in a safe direction. You know, dont do what alec Baldwin did.

I was awaiting for the accidental misfire to happen;-)

I was lookin for this comment.

I'm Argentinian and I visited Germany for 3 weeks, people are amazing there! Everyone is very polite and if they see you're lost they'll help you get where you need to go. Also a lot of people there speak English very well but even people who can't speak English so well will still try to communicate with you the best they can, helping themselves with Google Translate. Definitely visit there if you can, I loved it!

I hope you will Enjoy your time in Germany ! :D
Greetings from there ^^

The used to be on time, since they reformed the public transport (early 90s) the official definition of punctual is 6 minutes late. Because they are always late.

@Sala dien Not really, the Regio is mostly on time with some exceptions but I'd say 9/10 you mostly have no significant cases where you are too late.
S-Bahn is quite punctual as U-Bahn is aswell. Linienbus is the only one that is sometimes late but the driver makes up for it. If they are out the schedule, they just step on the gas. I had it several times that the bus was driving insanely fast

@Nicz you must live in a different Germany than I am.

@Sala dien Wo wohnst du? Also nähe Großstadt

I don't get it. US is Anglo-Saxon country...WASP...

@dth illmntHistory of Saxons: www.worldhistory.org/Saxons/
History of Saxony: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Saxony

I am pretty terrified of German Police. 🤣🤣🤣 Especially when they walk around with the dogs. Not that I do anything wrong but their whole attitude is like back off...While In The Netherlands I just approach the police and ask them for directions when I get lost in the cities 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Except for that one guy that shot up a shopping center about three years back with a rifle.

@ANDJELINA I've asked German police for the way before

Well in the US we have a different relationship with guns than any other country

It's funny you say this. I had a cousin visit me in the states (she is from Germany). Several of us got together to go to a shooting range as she had never been. As we were loading the vehicle up she started to laugh. We asked her what was funny, and she said if a neighbor saw her loading up a car with guns like this in Germany the cops would be there within minutes. To be fair, it was an absurd amount of weapons, and even living here I can't belive how lax some of the restrictions are.

The only inaccuracy I could find in this video.

Or air-conditioning which as an American I gotta say must suck.

Also the fact many Americas prefer their tap water compared to bottled water, Idk where he got that information

@Rawr I’m a deinosaur some states have shitty tap water in the US. The southern states for the most part have the best tap water especially states like Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Alabama which all get their water from natural limestone springs and such

@Strat458796 key word is some and it's not the state, it's just like one city that contaminated their water. You say the South has the best water yet when I was in Gergia the tap water was down right awful and tasted like salt water.

I at least hope that Germans have the intelligence to know that many of the Americans they are meeting are in the military or attached thereof. This is important because the US military recruiting functions just like all military recruiting from time immemorial - they are largely taken largely from the lower income and less educated ranks of society. That is not always true but is largely true, so what you get is an experience with the US' most conservative and needlessly close-minded, most of all, for lack of education/knowledge.

Ifkr

That hit me in the feels..

@Chizel good thing it did

@Civsuccess2 what on earth is that nonsense

Lmaooo

Don't worry my good man, of course he has a third gun.
It's in his lifted pickup truck, along with the shotgun. 😁

I know, where is 45-70 in both socks

yeah I thought the riding the bus conversation was going to end with him saying he needed a third gun lol

I know right, no assault rifle? at least a hunting rifle? 🤦🏿‍♂️ Seems sus his "American" is in question 🧐🤔

did you understand the joke about black people and Bavaria? Cuz i didnt

@Mixtape Mania no, I didn't understand it either.

How are you doing

For a European, American signs are the craziest thing I've ever seen😁 especially the heaps of text on parking signs. The European signs are the same from Lisbon to the easternmost point of Russia.

@Mixtape Mania My take was there are no black people in Bavaria but saying it would somehow be perceived as racist.

lol bye

Best of luck with the studying!^^

niceee glad you enjoy em^^

yes

Not really because one of those sides offers itself up for a hundred times more clowning-upon. The "left" side of US politics is lame, the right side is batshit insane, which makes centrism and both-sidesism moronic.

@Caspar Röist It is difficult to say what you mean by "left" in the US because (1) the mainstream of the Democratic party is definitely not on the left from a European perspective, (2) the actual left is relatively small and powerless, (3) your views may be coloured by right-wing propaganda deliberately mixing up the various movements opposing them and pretending the actual left has much more influence than it has. At any rate, in my experience, too, it _is_ true that "downright delusional and thoroughly misinformed" describes the overwhelming majority of Americans, especially when it comes to anything with relevance beyond US borders, but there are marked differences in both quality and quantity between the typical ignorance you see in the different political groups.
It is even more difficult to say what you mean by "moderate-right" in the US, especially in terms of alleged lack of media representation. Regarding the latter, my experience is diametrically opposed to your claims: especially prior to the rise of Trump but even now, both mainstream US media and foreign media consistently underplayed the extent and magnitude of insanity and depravity among most US right-wingers, while the true scale was apparent to me if I met them on the internet or looked into in-depth polls & studies. US media did this out of fear of alienating viewers and the bad tradition of bipartisanship, foreign media due to the foreign correspondent syndrome.
The only Americans I encountered whom I would rate as genuine moderate right-wingers were people with a special kind of ignorance: people influenced by the writings of conservative intellectuals from decades ago who seemed oblivious to the fact that their influence on the modern conservative movement is zero. But I have also met several Americans who are clearly on the far-right from an European perspective but claimed or even believed themselves to be centrists, especially in the loose on-line groups around several dozen political con-men and on-line personalities which can be summarized under the term "anti-SJW". These people tend to come from a place of extreme ignorance about most of the political spectrum (even the spectrum in the US, not to mention the rest of the world).

@Caspar Röist Let me venture a more specific reply. Your original comment made me think what you mean because first, I didn't see most of the lampooned American stereotypes as tied to or exclusive to a political side, and second, it didn't come to me immediately which ones you might connect to the "left" side. On the latter, even after thinking about it, I could recall only one: the recurring "I'm offended" reaction, which can be read as a criticism of the US phenomena of political correctness and identity politics, phenomena which tend to be connected to the Democrats. However, I think the makers of the video showed awareness that these phenomena are not at all limited to the left side of the political spectrum, as shown by the moment when the reason for taking offence is a traffic sign showing a child with a mother and not a father.

not a thing in this is true bro

This video made me want to laugh in Nazi, if I knew what being German was.

😂

Brits : ugh. The French and germans are sex happy bureaucrats.
Americans : What is a "sex happy bureaucrat" ?
British : you dont need to know that...

There are many white people in asia tho ,because anyone who is light skinned count as white even if they're asian, africa might be a better example

I know where I'm moving to 😃

@Zaid Abd lmao, no. White people means a caucasian. Asains are Asian regardless of their skin colour. If skin colour is all there is, why doesn't Asians with white skin get the same white priviledge treatment ?
Everyone is POC except white, it means people of colour. And befor you say anything stupid like " Light skinned Asians are mixed with white" then should everyone be considered black because all humans literally came from Africa and evolved to different races today ? Environment and outside makes it a big factor to people's appearence and their changes throught out the years, and Asia has the best skincare industry in the world, so ofc sunscreen is normalised and a must have for everyone regardless of skin colour because we know UV is bad, it can also cause skin cancer.
My blood's just boiled reading this comment because I'm a 'white skinned' asain, as you have said. I was born and raised in Thailand so if I'm white, where's my white priviledge. Why am I treated as an Asian my entire life ? Omg.

@JustMyEdits there is a difference between white people and europeans , white people is subjective anyone can be white I'm black so I see some latinos and asians as White , you're calling caucasians white people because you're using the western defenation of it, hell in my country yellow people are called white anyone light skinned is white , now europeans are the people that come from europe which is the one most western people mean when they say white people , the terms white and black are very subjective and it depends on where you come from

How are you

OHIO!

Our water is cleaner than a husband's browsing history

haha ya ^^ i loved all those cliche's they pointed out ^^

Yeah. It’s true, Europeans sue too, often more than in the US. Lawyers in the US cost too much to sue for most things. I’ve seem as many guns in Bavaria in 9 years as in the US, hunters in both cases.

@Silas Larsen my mother in law and her neighbor had each other in court more times than I could count. Suing each other for trees and how far the limbs reached, the leaves, pine cones, and anything else they could think of. Both had litigation insurance and made the insurance company regret it. Even better, a bridge near Wiesbaden was renovated but failed the final load test. As a result the Prime contractor Süd- their supplier accusing them of substandard cement. The joke? Both were owned by the same corporation with the same insurance company. It still took over a year to litigate fault.

@Chris Smith yes, I can believe that. While my mother was never sued when we I there as a kid, a neighbor did complain to her he could once smell some wood smoke with his bedroom window open. He explained to her that her wood might not be dry, but she was burning purchased Beech wood.

Same😂

I loved it. Too bad it's a lie....

Biggest lie ever

LIES!!!!

I'd be like "ok but he's goin on a watchlist!"

@Synergy7Studios it isn't

Yay, thank you!

Did you told him he might be a descendant of some european people and therefore maybe have some roman ancestors too? :D

An American guy once seriously asked a friend if Europeans wash and have cars...🤓

I don't want to say they're dumb... But... Well, they are, but in some way I felt very surprised with your story... How?

That's just pathetic. We learned your history in grade school in "backward" West Virginia. "Book smart" doesn't always translate to smart.

We have Roman towns all over England and Wales such as Caerleon, Caerwent and Cirencester.

Glad to hear that! 😄 Many more to come^^

@Radical Living Excellent! Good to hear!

Where the Berlin wall 'is'? It seems you also missed a few history lessons. Especially post 1989 ones.

@Murad The wall (or what's left of it) is still there. It didn't just disappear after 1989

@Lucas actually it did. The parts left are purely symbolic and are mere reminders of how Berlin was once a decided city.

@Murad I know about that. I'm a german myself. I meant that if you have a wall and destroy most of it, the leftover is more or less still a wall.

Comrade?

​@Ivan Feofilov Shhh! You'll blow my cover! :)

@Samuel Rosander greetings, me too;p workers all over the world - unite!
Shootout from Ukraine

@Ivan Feofilov Stay safe, comrade.

How can you sue a City!!

We ALWAYS find ways to

Yess

🤣

american beer is toilet water ... there are worlds between our beers so either never drink german beer or buy it exclusivly :D

@SenkoVT I might sound like a bad German, but there are some really decent breweries in America as well, with some great variety.

I tried corona once after whole day of European beers, none of us liked it and we ended up spraying each other with it and then bought my fav one and drunk it in front of the market because everything else was closed by that time

@Otek | Nr.3 Now. Used to be just Miller, Budweiser, Schlitz, and Stroh's. You know, water disguised as beer.

I also was stationed there so I can verify everything from walking to the beer. American beer is substandard except Sam Adams. To me that’s the closest to German beer we get.

yep 38 special with an ankle harness is never a bad idea *thumbs up*

It was changed like this in my country and there are net stores that are country-wide opened despite of the new "Sunday law" - it's such level of government corruption because they privately invest in those stores.

I mean... you should have food for one extra day. its not a big deal.

My mom in the bg: CANCEL FLIGHT TICKETS TO GERMANY!!!
Me: ._.'

"blue laws" ?!?

They have the same thing in America, in the Mormon part, small town close everything on Sunday

why ?

i too would like to know why this is bad

Small Village thing,in the Citys its ok,but small villages are somewhat Hostile to foreigners,even Foreign fellow germans,and they'll let you know that,with Stares or Worse an Angry Rant. If you want to live in a Small Village,it took me years to get accepted.

That guy is definitely not a gun owner. At least I hope he isn't with that carelessness. Even if it's not loaded you would never point a gun at someone's head.

I'm also not american, but that trigger finger triggered me ;)
But it kinda added to the stereotype

I was looking for this comment lol.

Did no one learn from Alec Baldwin!!!

for fucking real

You are so welcome!

Its only half american, ease of offense is a part of americas lesser half. Sadly her loudest half

*pull out gun*

The whole western world has this problem. Here in Brazil is no different.

@Nimai Aquino Yep

my pleasure^^

They wouldnt give you tap water?

@Sea Flower they would but were weird about it mostly in Amsterdam. Also at bars they got weirded out that I would order water with my drinks

@William Kreth probably because tap water will be free and „gas“ will cost you extra, so what they’re trying to do is obvious (;

Thats just the netherlands. They dont like giving water away for free :p

@Internet held or free bathroom breaks haha

Thats actually a damn good tactic!

Great

Pro gamer german move

wow that is actually smart by them

If there are as many cognates between the languages as English and German, I believe it.
