- Hi, we're Joel and Lia.
-
- And this video is 10 differences
-
between Canada and the UK.
-
Let's discuss.
-
(playful vocalizing)
-
- So we've never been to Canada.
-
- I've been!
-
- Oh have you? - I've been twice.
-
- Oh you, when? - But I was little.
-
- You were young.
-
- I don't really have memories.
-
- We just want to include Canada a bit more.
-
- Yeah. (chuckles)
-
- Because we already talk about America and the UK.
-
- We just leave them out, don't we?
-
- Yeah, we do, but, - Yeah.
-
- it's because there aren't many,
-
like these articles, we're discussing an article by the way,
-
on Huffington Post.
-
But people don't tend to write about the differences
-
between Canada and the UK.
-
It's always America and the UK.
-
So there's loads of stuff for us to do,
-
to do with America. - So,
-
we're just gonna tickle you,
-
tickle you a bit today. - Yeah.
-
Tease you. - Just tease you a little bit.
-
And we're just gonna discuss the article,
-
and say whether we think this is true or false.
-
- Yeah. - Especially about
-
the UK stuff.
-
- Yeah, and if you're from Canada, and you're watching,
-
go leave like a Canada flag emoji,
-
or just be like, "I'm Canadian," in the comments,
-
'cause we'd be really interested to see
-
how many of you are Canadian.
-
- Say it just like that,
-
"I'm Canadian!" - Yeah, "I'm Canadian!"
-
(Lia laughs)
-
Right, so the first one is that
-
Canadians want you to have a nice day,
-
whereas Brits want you to fail.
-
- So it just goes back to the whole positivity thing.
-
- Yeah. - That like,
-
I know we've said it about Americans loads,
-
and maybe Canadians are the same,
-
in that they just genuinely want you
-
to have a nice day. - I know.
-
- But Brits don't really say, "Have a nice day."
-
Or they might say it, but do they ever mean it?
-
- I don't know.
-
Obviously it's all a huge stereotype.
-
- Yeah. - But Brits are nice people,
-
but there is just that deep underlying thing
-
where you just want someone to just
-
fail at what they're doing.
-
- (chuckling) Yeah. - I don't know why.
-
- It's so weird.
-
It's like embedded in Brits. - Yeah.
-
- It's like, (sighs)
-
it's like when you see someone
-
really trying to do something at the gym,
-
and you're like, "Just fall." - Yeah.
-
I know. - (laughing) It's so bad!
-
- About everything, and especially at the moment
-
with politics and stuff , like the Prime Minister,
-
everyone's just hoping that she'll fail,
-
and it's like,
-
it's so funny. - Oh no.
-
I do actually feel really sorry for her.
-
- I know. - I'm just like,
-
imagine being you, you're like a cartoon character now.
-
- I know, poor old woman.
-
- Poor old TM. - Literally old woman.
-
- Poor old woman.
-
- She's aged years since being in that role.
-
- That-- - Her posture's gone
-
from this to this.
-
- It literally has this now.
-
- Yeah, poor woman. - Open up darling.
-
- Open up Theresa May. - Have a nice--
-
(giggling) Open up TM.
-
And have a nice day.
-
- Yeah, TM the PM.
-
- Yeah! (both laugh)
-
The next one's about fish.
-
Canadians eat sushi, and Brits like to
-
deep fry their fish in batter, and have fish and chips.
-
- Yeah. - Yeah.
-
- I mean, is it a well-known thing then
-
that Canadians are known for sushi?
-
- Well it must be.
-
Huffington Post is saying it.
-
They say, "Stroll around Vancouver,
-
"and you will notice swarms of health-conscious,
-
"attractive people, lining up for their nearest sushi."
-
- Wow, I thought sushi was Japanese.
-
- Yeah, but. (laughs)
-
Remember when we were in New York,
-
and certain places, just like sushi everywhere?
-
- Yeah, sushi everywhere.
-
But to be honest, it's spread everywhere hasn't it?
-
- Mm. - London's very sushi.
-
We love sushi.
-
- We do. - We'd be more likely
-
to eat sushi than fish and chips.
-
- I think so. - Yeah.
-
- It's just more like on-the-go food.
-
- Yeah.
-
- We'd never be like, "Let's just get fish and chips quick,"
-
- No. - We're just not,
-
that's not what we do. - Fish and chips
-
would be like a treat, where you're like,
-
"Oh my gosh, I should not be eating this battered fish."
-
- Yeah, I'm about to consume like 4,000 calories,
-
- Yeah. - in one little tiny tray
-
of fish and chips. - Yeah.
-
- So. - I also think
-
it's generational.
-
- Mm-hmm. - I think my grandparents,
-
my parents' and grandparents' generation
-
would eat fish and chips,
-
whereas-- - Especially on a Friday.
-
- Yeah. - Yeah.
-
- Whereas we would be more likely to order sushi.
-
- Oh, and we've done that. - Yeah.
-
- We've done like, I've done delivery sushi to my house.
-
- It's great. - So maybe we're
-
a bit more Canadian.
-
- I just hate sashimi.
-
Anything with like raw fish or salmon. (gags)
-
- Oh, I love salmon!
-
Oh, nigiri.
-
- Right, so the next one is that
-
Canadians go out for one beer,
-
whereas Brits will have six
-
before even leaving the house. (chuckling)
-
Which we've spoken about - It's so true,
-
isn't it? - drinking before.
-
- It's so true. - Yeah.
-
- It's really bad.
-
Like the whole - Yeah.
-
- like pre-drinks, - I know,
-
- the whole British attitude towards alcohol.
-
- And if-- - It's like,
-
"Oh I can't possibly go out and just have one."
-
- No. - Why would anyone do,
-
we would. - Yeah.
-
'Cause we're lightweights. - 'Cause that's all it takes.
-
But there's just so many Brits that would just be like,
-
"No, if I'm gonna drink,
-
"I'm drinking to get drunk. - Yeah.
-
Yeah. - "I'm not just
-
"gonna have one, why would I do that, makes no sense."
-
- We're probably making it worse as well
-
by all the Prosecco.
-
The amount of people, like we've said, that are just,
-
like I did a video on my channel about my three addictions.
-
- Oh yeah. - Pepsi Max, sugar, pizza.
-
- Yeah.
-
- And they were like, "What about Prosecco?"
-
And I was like, "I'm not addicted to Prosecco."
-
- Oh! - I'll have Prosecco maybe
-
like twice a month or something,
-
but, - Okay.
-
- the perception we've put out there,
-
- Yeah, the-- - is that we drink Prosecco
-
every single day. (chuckling)
-
- Like I get family members,
-
hi Yaya, my grandma, (Joel laughs)
-
watching, saying, "You need to really look at your drinking,
-
"and you need to slow down and stop."
-
And I'm like, "Oh it's part of a performance.
-
"It's like a little character thing.
-
- It's just our thing. - "It's just like,
-
"it's our thing."
-
- Yeah. - But it's not, it's not.
-
So it's not a problem.
-
- It's not a problem.
-
- No one needs to worry. - We don't have a problem.
-
- Saying that, I did have two glasses
-
of Prosecco last night, but that was just for fun.
-
- Yeah, do you know what? - What?
-
- Last Saturday,
-
- Yeah. - I went to see my friends
-
near where my parents from
-
in Hampshires. - Yes!
-
- They've just moved there. - Yes.
-
- A glass of Prosecco, guess how much.
-
- Seven pounds.
-
- Three pound 95. - Stop.
-
- Three pound 95! - Stop!
-
- Yeah! - Stop.
-
- So cheap!
-
It's a minimum of like seven pounds in London, isn't it?
-
- (laughing) Oh I thought you were gonna say,
-
"It's a minimum of seven on card,
-
"so I had to buy like five." - Oh right.
-
So I had to buy two.
-
(both chuckle)
-
- So the next one is that Canadians think that
-
Britain is a place of magical castles and royalty,
-
and Brits think that Canada is basically just America.
-
(Joel laughs) So,
-
- Which is kinda true. - It's kinda true.
-
- I mean, that is true, because Canada,
-
I've learned, Canada is America.
-
We Brits call the US America.
-
- Yeah. - And then,
-
Mexico is something different,
-
Canada is something different,
-
but it's all America, apparently.
-
So technically we're right. - But isn't that,
-
isn't that offensive?
-
Is it offensive to call, - No that's true.
-
That's the continent is America.
-
- Oh! - All like North America.
-
- So why have they got a problem
-
with that? - Yeah.
-
(Lia laughs) Get over it.
-
- Get over it.
-
Guys, seriously. - I know.
-
- Canadians get triggered, - They do.
-
Do you remember that audition? - when they get called
-
American. (gasps)
-
- And everyone there was American, except me and Lia,
-
and a couple of Canadians. - Yeah.
-
- And I said something like that.
-
I was like, "Everyone here's American," they were like,
-
"I'm Canadian." - "I'm Canadian."
-
- I was like, "Well you sound American." (laughs)
-
- It was amazing, that was so funny.
-
We haven't heard back from that, have we?
-
- No. - No.
-
- It's probably 'cause we insulted the Canadians.
-
(both laugh) - It's probably why,
-
probably why we didn't get the job.
-
- I know, but the UK definitely isn't, I mean, actually,
-
I was gonna say it definitely isn't full of castles,
-
but it definitely is full of castles.
-
- Oh there's loads.
-
We were looking at some
-
- Yeah. - the other day online,
-
weren't we? - Yeah were were gonna
-
stay in a castle.
-
- (laughing) Do some filming there.
-
- Literally it's just so normal,
-
you're just like, - Just to perpetuate that
-
- castle. - idea more.
-
(both laugh) - Yeah.
-
- Amazing. - But it definitely
-
doesn't feel magical.
-
- No, I don't think so.
-
Though there's some, there's a little bit of magic.
-
- Yeah. - If you go
-
to places like Edinburgh, you're like,
-
"Ooh, this feels quite Harry Pottery."
-
- Yeah.
-
- But they're, no.
-
- No. - Not much, no magic really.
