Americans are stupid.
 

On E!'s 'Wildest TV Show Moments' they just showed a clip of 'Trigger Happy TV'. The clip of Dom Joly doing a interview befor ebeing interupted by a man in a gorilla suit - a sketch that was planned, for a sketh show.

Only Americans would think it wasn't planned and that Dom Joly was actually a real TV host.


huuuuh.

*Enter Patrick*

Have you only just realised?

Agree with the OP

They are very stupid indeed!

For a full Example on why they are stupid please check my post on the Thread
"CBS To Air UK Channels" :)

No. This is just more proof.

:joker:

And for a full response explaining why you were wrong in that thread, please read Dezzy's post below yours. :thumbs:

American commercials are hilarious

Nah I found it boring, I Read the first line and then fell asleep:xyxwave:

I don't understand amercians humour.

*some Americans.

in the same way some Britons are stupid. and some Japanese people. and some Croatians.

i hate american science teachers !

Then you were proven wrong then if you can't read it and reply sufficiently. Anyway here's a ball, go bounce it. Hopefully it won't outsmart you.

E! is typically an airhead channel from what I hear, it's got nothing but tacky Celeb reality shows and brain numbing crap like Hills and I love money (I know their MTV shows but they're just examples of the type of programming).

EDIT: I ROFL'd at the fact 11 lines of writing is all that it takes to make you give up Patrick.

:shocked: My science teacher is so amazing. :lovedup:

Thanks folks. E! and MTV are nothing to go by, those are the trashiest channels on cable television.

and Patrick, I could make John and Edward an example of how stupid some Irish are...but, to be honest, it's not worth the effort. The US has 5 times more people than the UK, yet the UK is still able to be engrossed by US TV and produce as many Z-Listers. Ireland's claim to fame is U2, the US' is Lincoln, Einstein, JFK, MLK Jr., Rosa Parks, George Washington..the list goes on.

Albert Einstein was from germany.....

American culture and people are as bad as ours, so if they are stupid, so are we.

I accually read it just after I Posted that an agreed partly with the fact you said most shows are from America and they are good..

But Im saying how the majority of UK TV Is now fulled wih American ****,
Its nice to have a bit of both but when its ALL American and hardly any British things as there is American,
Then it starts to get on my dick!

And the way everytime theres a new version of a UK Show like the way their starting this retarded X Factor USA,
They`ll air in the UK but they DONT air X Factor UK in USA!
So why should we have their bullcrap when we already have shows that we like because their from the UK

He was German-born but is considered an American physicist. He taught at Princeton and that was where he help initially pave the way for the creation of the atomic bomb.

Yeah they think their Hilarious, I was speaking to one of them the other month on Xbox Live Mic, and they told me to Speak Proper,

As in they couldnt understand my Accent yet expect the world to understand their bullcrap Words like "Mom" whats wrong with mUm?
And other retarded phrases that come from their, so they have the nerve to turn round to Anyone from the UK and say "Speak Properly"

When they cant even speak properly,

It still pisses me off how they made JK Rowling change the Name of the First Harry Potter book because Stupid little American kids wouldnt understand The Original English Title, its an English book it should have the Original Name!

Do we make them change the name of their crap TV shows that air in the UK?
No

Thats like saying to them..
"Change the name of Gossip Girl, the English dont understand the word Gossip"

I ant believe how stupid people that open these kind of threads are. Jut like you call americans stupid, thats how French people call you guys stupid. ANd when you say their humor is dumb (yet you pretty much import all the comedy series that they have, wonder why that is), they think your humor is dumb as well. Its all down to where you were raised. I have lived in both countries, and I can appreciate both humor.

GEt a *****g clue before making sweeping statements like these. The only dumbass here is you.

Hate to break it to whoever said it, but nobody, and I mean NOBODY outside America considered Einstein 'American'. Also, you shot yourself in the foot with the whole mention of the atomic bomb.

I also hate American humor. British humor is ironic, irreverent and, well, hilarious. American comedy is stupid. And unfortunately our Americanized culture eats it up. But heres a hint : Most people who watch Comedy Central over here are teens. Most people who watch Dave are adults. Our young watch the comedy America's adults watch. Most conventional American comedy shows run something along the lines of :

''Where is my birthday cake?''
''Margery left it in the car, dude!''
''With the dog?''
''Oh noes! The dog!''
''The dog! Oh noes!''

And yes, Americans on Xbox Live are retarded. And yes, I understand every country has it's dopes and smarts, but with regard to the visible exported culture and politics, America is ... well ... abhorrent. Middle class suburban America for the most part is a nightmare. Especially the conservative kind.

Just head to conservapedia and get ready to laugh. Or switch on Fox News. Gawd bless Americah! You ess ay! Whoo!

Somebody on Xbox Live once said to me ''you guys have nothing dude, we got Schwarzenegger mannn!''.

Are you from France?

NO You from London, so you wouldnt know if the French love our humour or not!

So dont make stupid Statments,

I think I know the reason why Americans dont air UK Shows in America, well they air SOME but not the good ones..

Because they know if they do CBS and ABC Would be ****ed and all the Americans would finally see how ****ing amazing our shows are!

OH GOD...dont get me started on American kids on Xbox Live...though some Brit' Brats are irritating too

No, it's because Americans don't get our shows. Seriously. I am not being racist, but it is provable. They cant understand them. They just don't get irony. This is common knowledge.

Then a lot of Americans are too sensitive. That's why even a lot of AMERICAN comedians like Bill Hicks had to come to England to find fame.

You caught me. :tongue: Trying to save my ass after a late night comment last night. Shame I was doing my AP Physics homework too.

Anyone on Xbox Live with a mic is retarded. I don't play it myself but just listening to other people play it (whether they're joking around idiodically or getting WAY too into the game, whether they're Australian, American, British, or any other race for that fact) makes me cringe for the state of society. Either way: I don't hate my country, but our TV is the shittest thing ever.

I've only ever used mine for private chat with my friends xD

DUmbass! YOu assume that I am from London? ANd you call people stupid. For your info, I am from Africa. And I have spent 5 years in France, french is my native language, and we are a french colony, so basically close culture. And I have lived 10 years in the US.
Because someone lives in London, you think they are from here? Idiot!!

And again, your teens are considered the dumbest educated people in Europe, so glass houses comes to mind.


ANd yeah, thats why all of your TV stations export the unfunny american shows. Even the ones that are cancelled that no one gives a fuuk about, are airing here now. YOu call americans dumb, then its dumb and dumber basically.

You hit the nail on the head. I don't bother even using it anymore. Either people are obnoxious, or nobody actually talks. Seriously. Unless you are with your mates in a highly competitive game I have NEVER heard people in any games I have played on it actually talk strategy or whatnot.

As for hating/loving my country, I love the attitude of the typical Irish person [my house is falling down, I have no job, sure jaysus we will be alright. Lets have a dance]. But I am not patriotic about the country itself. Patriotism is just a delusion. A system of control. Did you actually choose your country before birth? Of course not.

Borders existed and borders were broken. Countries were discovered and countries were conquered. It's nothing. Just a plot of land a political system governs.

I think you should know the difference between importing and exporting, and realize which country Patrick is actually from, before calling people dumb.

They dont get your shows? LMAO!!! BEcause your shows are so difficult to understand? Give me a *****g break. They dont like it, because they dont think its funny! Same goes for most countries in the world, they dont find british humor funny!! Its that simple. DOnt go trying to make ut like your comedy is so great. I have been in a lot of different countries, most, do not like the english humor, not just the americans.

The only US shows I have ever followed are;
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The Simpsons
Futurama
Family Guy
and Scrubs :3

Nah, the major networks like to make original comedy on their station, not imported stuff. People know about the original The Office here, but its easier for a station to manage the life of their original shows.

Blame the lack of showing British shows in America on BBC America. When they say showcasing some of the best in British television, they mean the Weakest Link, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, The Graham Norton Show, Top Gear, and Cash in the Attic. None of which are humor.

Fonejacker gets aired on Comedy Central here, adult swim. shows The Mighty Boosh along with other British shows on Sundays...don't say that Americans haven't had the exposure to British humor. We've experienced it and still like our own better.

Some of our best humor is The Office (which has grown past its earlier seasons and developed its own humor) and 30 Rock. You're being a bit ignorant if you're basing your opinions off of the likes of the ABC comedy shows. NBC is the comedy leader here.

To be fair on all sides, everyone's sense of humour differs, wherever you live

Bravo, you missed the entire ****ing point of my post. Americans don't like irony in comedy because they don't get it. I am not going against America, it's just a fact. In fact, it's a well known cultural joke even Americans are in on.

''Dont go trying to make it like your comedy is so great''? Im not British, you ****ing moron. And neither is Patrick. Different countries like different types of humor. Thats all I was saying. You essentially missed that entire point and condemned yourself to your own argument by saying most countries dont like British humor.

This.

I dont care where he is from, regardless, the fact is, if you think you are more intelligent than the americans for some reason, delusional is what I call you. The only thing that I can say for sure they dont have, that most modern coutry do, is general culture. But thats because they happen to be self suffiient in most things, and their society was buit from within. We, on this side of the world, had to deal with imperialism, and thats why our culture is more international.
Other than that, its plain silly nationalism, based on self delusion.

Ok...

...but hang on, you're from Northern Ireland, so surely you wouldn't know why Americans don't air UK shows?

Don't make stupid statements...

Exactly, Americans can call British humor unoriginal and extremely dry while Brits can call American humor crude and mindless. Family Guy is the prime example of mindless, but rest assure that Family Guy is only popular with the younger crowd, much like whoever was pointing out earlier the tastes of the British youth who like American TV. The same age group around the world enjoys the same TV shows.

Americans don't have general culture?

What age are you? They have the single most influential and powerful culture in the world!

I'm a bit dumbfounded at people ridiculing the Americans. I mean starting on the ground with TV, USA has produced some genius shows:

The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Frasier, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, Will & Grace, X-Files, Bewitched, ER, Friends [well, early on], Star Trek, Cheers...

ignoring most of today's juggernauts: Heroes, Lost, Law & Order, CSI, FlashForward, True Blood, etc.

Humour/TV aside, when you look at the music/cinema industries, and other fields: politics, science, technology, literature, art...they're certainly not stupid.
