DUMB Things Americans Say About Europeans (and the World)

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]Have you ever heard something so dumb it just made you scratch your head and go like why? I know it's going to be a crazy question, right? And I'm like super dumb for asking this, but like is all of Germany under the same time zone?

[00:00:10]I mean, it's not very big. So, see, I'm no better than the next American. Shout out to a good friend of mine for encouraging me to post this on uh on my video cuz I have to stay consistent. I call out so many other Americans saying dumb things. I need to call out myself once in a while. So, yes, obviously I got lit up like a Christmas tree. This video is other Americans that have also said some not so smart things and add to the dumb American allegations which we are never going to beat. If you guys are new to the channel, welcome. If you guys are returning viewers, welcome back. If you guys can be so kind as to help us hit a million subscribers this year by liking the video and subscribing if you haven't already. I'm hyped to see what we have to work with today. Y'all teach kids French, Spanish, Latin dead languages, but leave out ASL, a language used by millions of deaf folks alive and breathing today. make it make sense. And you wonder what the comments had to say because good lord, this individual man went absolutely ballistic on this post.

[00:01:03]I don't know what charged them up to say something like this, but obviously the comments had a lot to say and I'm sure you guys do as well. In fact, I need to hear from you guys cuz your stories are always very entertaining. What is the dumbest thing one of us Americans has said to you? You can even include me in there cuz I am also American myself and I have absolutely said some incredibly dumb things. Put it in the comments. I'm going to check them out. The second most spoken native language in the world, a dead language. A bold statement. That's exactly why we're here. Not smart comments made from my fellow Americans.

[00:01:35]And I have also made some not so smart comments myself. But wait, there's more.

[00:01:38]The comment section absolutely went ballistic. And our next comment says, "Spanish is so dead that is only the second most spoken native language in the world." Yikes. And I had no idea. I knew that it was up there for sure. I didn't know it was the second most spoken native language in the world.

[00:01:53]That's insane. Isn't Mandarin the first?

[00:01:56]Mandarin is in fact the most spoken native language in the world. That is actually impressive. So, English might come in third. Love. Also, they mention ASL specifically instead of sign language in general. ASL is incomprehensible to most deaf people outside of North America. Most have their own sign languages that are structures around the native languages.

[00:02:15]There's even Austrian and Swiss German sign language separate from DGS. Even deaf people from the British Isles where English is spoken won't understand ASL since they have BSL. Now, a few videos ago, I found this to be very interesting because that was the first time I'd ever seen a variation in sign language cuz I thought myself very naively that sign language was universal across the entire planet. If people who were deaf were speaking, it was a universal language that people were learning and stuff like that and it was an entirely different thing. But that was ignorant of me because of course if you're learning sign language from an English speaker that's going to be entirely different than learning sign language from a speaker who speaks German for instance or a different language. And I'm like ah I guess that makes a lot more sense. The gestures are going to be different. The signs are going to be way different.

[00:02:59]That makes a ton of sense. And I did not even clock that. And there was literally a video I made about Americans saying dumb things. And the theme of that entire video, like the bulk of the posts I was reviewing were Americans making assumptions that all sign language was basically American Sign Language, which is what the ASL stands for, American Sign Language. Why would the entire world know American Sign Language? I also thought that the entire world, for some reason, only knew American Sign Language because I thought that was the only form of sign language until I made that video. So, very interesting perspective and I did learn something very interesting for sure. smartest American. And trust me, we have a video full of the smartest Americans in Zoaldo. Dear President Donald Trump, you have my permission to invoke military law allowing them to take over all necessary points, mayors, governors, senators, councilmen and women, businesses, docks, and other oceanways, imports, exports, corporations, and shell companies, natural gas pipeline, oil pipelines, electric plants, water and sewer plants, farms, and Monsanto corporations, and All land they have stolen and all other things that need to be shaken and stirred, emptied and cleansed, then totally replaced and re-equipped with people who will properly run the operations for the better of the people and the United States of America. Then we can reopen the country and begin the new millennium together with no negative blood in the way. May God bless America. Feel free to copy and paste this as often as possible. We need to tell President Donald Trump that we are ready for the takedown that he is so carefully orchestrating. Thank you, President Donald Trump. Add this to the S tier of the most insanely stupid [ __ ] that has ever left an American's fingers or mouth, cuz I can see them also saying this as well. But holy moly. And I'm telling you, there is a whole cult of people that think like this. Funny how a country so amped up on feeling special about freedom and citizen independence is also breeding the craziest spineless doormats you will ever see. That's what's wild to me. As Americans, we love to preach about freedom, free speech, free this, free that. And in the same breath, as Americans love trying to invoke things that will oppress other people and then turn around and say, "God bless America." It seems real backwards. doesn't seem right. But maybe I am crazy. It's just very odd to me that the same people who are preaching freedom are trying to strip freedoms from other Americans. So he wants the government to seize the means of production and then redistribute the wealth in a more appropriate manner. So is this the communism that Americans are so against? Cuz that's what this whole memo basically said without saying it.

[00:06:00]You know what I'm saying? But, you know, maybe it's not communism if uh billionaires are the one distributing all of the uh jobs and assets or whatever. Good gosh, this is insane.

[00:06:09]Again, a person wrote this, typed it, posted it, and and thought they were cooking. That's some [ __ ] up American [ __ ] talk. Wow. And this is honestly just the tip of the iceberg. There's some crazier things I've seen, and it made me raise my eyebrows a little bit.

[00:06:23]Well, now that you've given your permission, right? Like, yes, I, random citizen, give you the permission to do whatever it is you need to do to make some stuff happen. I'm just a random citizen giving a person who runs a whole country power. Oh gosh, my head hurts reading this. And it gets worse. He has a plan. Listen, you and I are on the same wavelength because what the hell? I wasn't even tracking that. Maybe there is a plan. Nobody knows about it. the new millennium as in the next one or the one we all gave a [ __ ] about 27 years ago. Also, brother, you have my permission to learn how to write a sentence. That is far too many commas.

[00:07:02]It was a soft brag about, you know, where he received his education from cuz obviously our education system throughout the United States is very cooked. Not everywhere, but in a lot of places it's uh it's not not the best.

[00:07:11]And he was very very very adamant about showing off his writing skills or the lack thereof. And his his his love of the use of that comma. I think he overused it. He used it into oblivion.

[00:07:23]It's a cult. I'm telling y'all, man, it is a cult. Like, non ironically, it is absolutely a cult. It's honestly unsettling and it's sad because people really do run to the hills with this.

[00:07:34]They could lose everything and they will have this like unrealistic faith in this cult. And I'm like, good god. Euro is getting mad at America for having stricter labeling guidelines will never not be funny. Bread in Europe. And then it shows ingredients: flour, yeast, salt, water. Bread in America.

[00:07:51]ingredients enriched wheat flour, wheat flour, barley malt, niaine, iron, thymine, basically a whole bunch of poison chemicals. Some of them aren't poison, but just a ton of chemicals in this basic looking immortal bread. Trust me, I know this struck a nerve and the comment section went absolutely ballistic style. At the end of the day, the day has got to end and we will all rest knowing American bread has 11 million different chemicals in it. And bread throughout Europe, y'all, keep it simple. very few chemicals, very few ingredients. There's a reason why uh when you eat American bread, your gut feels a certain way. And when you eat bread throughout Europe, your gut does not feel that same way. I felt bloated.

[00:08:32]I felt like [ __ ] eating American bread.

[00:08:35]And I'm like, man, but I still ate it cuz it tastes delicious. I like the taste of it. It just did not make my body feel good. Who's going to tell him?

[00:08:42]I was going to say at some point that individual might figure it out, but I don't have any faith. You can probably guess why. We have very strict food laws. They're so strict Americans would call it oppression.

[00:08:55]Yeah, that's very true. I think why can't we put all these preservatives in our bread? That's oppression. We're not allowed to poison our bread. Oh my gosh.

[00:09:03]You know, it's funny. The more I think about it, it becomes a lot more obvious and apparent why we have all these chemicals in our food in the United States. Obviously, you want the food to last longer. And obviously through certain processes, it's cheaper to create some of the same things that exist throughout Europe that are natural items and um you know more authentic items, meaning like less ingredients, healthier for you, whatever. But in America, it's like okay, cool. We need the item to last as long as possible. So yeah, it might poison people, but ultimately the the item lasts longer and it's made cheaper so we can exploit and you know produce a ton of it. So we can make a lot of money cuz at the end of the day, capitalism wins. You know what I'm saying? Capitalism wins. At least in the United States, capitalism is like our our biggest priority. Money, money, money, money, money. And in capitalism, there are winners and losers. And uh it sucks. Just wait until he finds out that the EU also has strict labeling requirements. And that this is an exhaustive list of ingredients for bread. This is just for bread. This is not for like anything complicated like a cake or like a multiaceted meal or whatever like or other product. This is just bread. Plain bread that you use to make sandwiches or you can, you know, you put butter on it or whatever. Why does bread in the United States got 11 million different ingredients? It doesn't make any sense. It makes zero sense to me. But I explained why I my at least my theory on why we might have all those chemicals in our products because I'm pretty sure after a nuclear fallout, our bread will be the last one standing.

[00:10:32]unfair comparison though once you compare the ingredients with the prepackaged bread, not the fresh one, which still does not have high fructose corn syrup. Very true because I was also going to say there is also the prepackaged bread in throughout Europe as well and obviously that has more ingredients than your standard bread made in a bakery, but still less ingredients than what we have in the United States for good reason. Metric is more easier to follow than imperial.

[00:10:56]Then explain this 1 in equals 2.54 cm. 1 ft equ= 30.48 cm. 1 yard equals 91.44 cm. 1 oz equals 28.3495 g. 1 lb equals 453.592 g. On one side, single digit, easy to follow. On the other side, wacky numbers. All with lots of extra numbers on the end. Kind of seems like maybe it's not that easy to follow after all.

[00:11:29]No, it kind of seems like you don't have any living brain cells left in that cranium, sir. What do you mean? Do you not know how conversion works? Because we can play the same game on the flip side. That's insane. Again, people actually think and believe this [ __ ] This is act This is real life. This is not a game. This is not a joke. This is real life. People think like this.

[00:11:51]People think like that. I'd be convinced this is a joke if it wasn't because I have heard Americans actually say stuff like this. And that's exactly what I'm saying. This is a common sentiment. This is not as oh man like the one-off kind of thing that every once in a blue ass moon somebody says no. This is this is a pretty common take. Okay. 100 cm equals 39.37 in. H. Not so simple now, is it?

[00:12:18]See what I mean? Like you could flip that on its head in a heartbeat. Easily debunkable. Case closed. Go easy on them. Seems like they were having a stroke while typing this. Yeah, the grammatical errors were insane. I've seen worse, though. But oh my gosh, the logic was not doing its thing at all. It wasn't It was not hitting it. It didn't It didn't do what it needed to do. There was no logic in the chat. Doesn't their own system not even have internal consistency? There's 36 in to the yard, but 1,760 yards to the mile. How does that make any sense? Well, it doesn't. So, let's move on to our next pose. You don't realize how American you are until you leave the USA. In the USA, cheese and bread is a struggle meal. In Europe, it's a respectable meal. Yikes. Hey, listen. I ain't going to hold you, bro.

[00:13:10]Like, the cheese and bread in Europe actually tastes very good. To me, I feel I felt like I was living a luxurious lifestyle eating just the cheese and bread alone. I was obviously eating other things as well, but just the cheese and bread alone to me was such a higher quality than what I was used to eating in the United States that I'm like, "Oh man, like I know it's like, you know, a basic meal, but dang."

[00:13:29]Again, you can find some very delicious bread throughout the United States and some very delicious cheese as well. A lot of them are imported. Did you know that? But basically, what I'm saying is if it's made in America, the bread and the uh the cheese that comes out of the factories and stuff like that, tons of chemicals, it's going to make you feel a little weird. It might taste good though. It just it's not going to bode well for your body. Okay, so let's see what the comments had to say. Yeah, I'd struggle to eat American cheese and bread, too. You mean you don't like eating plastic cheese? I love plastic cheese. Oh my gosh. Listen, when I had my first slice of craft singles, the American cheese, we call it government cheese. Oh my god. Something about that plastic made me feel like I was a kid again. Chewing on those action figures and gobbling down the legs and the hands of the plastic figurines. You know what I'm talking about. Yeah, that was it was good. I was like eating candle wax.

[00:14:17]Guys, are sandwiches only for the poor people? Well, according to this user's post, apparently apparently sandwiches are for poor people. Sign me up, I guess. Look at all the struggling europores here. Hey yo, that platter look fire though, man. I ain't going to hold you. That looks that looks that looks pretty fire. Oh my gosh. It's seeming like we're going to have to wrap this up because I am now very hungry.

[00:14:38]Thank you so much. And um I'm going to need to eat some food very soon.

[00:14:42]Hopefully not the plastic cheese I was gloating about a little bit ago. In Europe, we have good cheese and good bread. Absolutely. And yes, it could be a struggle meal. But listen, if that's a struggle meal, I want to see what real good food out there is. I mean, I have I've seen some pretty good I haven't seen everything out there, right? I haven't seen close to everything out there in that big ass continent of Europe, right? So, I'm down to see what each European country has as delectable cuisine cuz on a fundamental level, the bread, the cheese, absolutely fire. I love it. I absolutely love it. I could just eat that, but I also need more protein. So, I do need to eat more than just that. But the bread, again, if we're just using American bread versus any country throughout Europe's bread as well, the countries in Europe are going to win every time. Anyways, if you guys enjoyed this video, let me know what you think in the comments down below. What did you think? What is the dumbest thing one of those Americans have said to
