What do the British think of the Germans!?

The most asked question you guys asked for on Instragram was for me to go back to England and ask what the British think of the Germans. I was shocked and the amount of people who actually came over. This is by far my favourite video I have made to date. Germany you are next, it will be interesting to see what the Germans say about the British .

I am in love with the British people. I love their way to talk, I love their Pub culture very much, I love their humor and I believe even they are not as straight as we are it is always a great time beeing over to the little cute island. Furthermore I believe the British music culture is absolutely fantastic. Definitely something Germans are not as good as the British are. Much respect to the older guy. I was expecting a different opinion on us.

We Germans take our humour very serious, it's no laughing matter. ☝🏻

"If they are incompetent, they are very incomepetent" ...so, we are competent even at being incompetent. Maybe the best description of Germany I ever heard :D

I think the problem with german humor is, that it loses all the fun when translating it because it is so well based on the language itself, that often times just make sense if you clearly understand the german language and know the connections and metaphors of the different words :D

Keep in mind that Mr. Bean and Monty Python e.g. are very popular in Germany so I guess there is common ground when it comes to humour. The elderly man at the end speaks German with a very good pronunciation by the way.

Germans are very competent. And if occasionally incompetent they are very incompetent....I like that. Seems about right.

I’m English and feel a kinship with the Germans due to our Anglo-Saxon heritage. It is a travesty what happened in the previous century.

Yah the Germans are a great bunch but so are you Brits :)

All the the best from Denmark.

We love the British humour so much, a British sketch that was recorded for German television in 1963 belongs to our New Year's Eve tradition till this day.

We are brothers! As a Briton, I think the Germans are intelligent, stubborn, and we both have a lot in common. Cheers 🍻

Fun fact - germans and british are genetically the most similar peoples in Europe

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🇩🇪 English and German people are brothers. We are a very similar people. We should have fought together WW1.

"They have humour, it‘s just very well hidden."
That is the most british thing to say.😂 I love you Brits

[ANGLO-GERMAN]

Coming from an Anglo-German background I just love the Germans! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇩🇪

Yes, our engineering is great i am proud to be a German. British and Germans are always top tier with inventions in history 🇩🇪❤️🇬🇧

Germans are very much like the English in values, history and humour.

I think of the German's as family who stayed in Saxony..

Blood is blood. 🇬🇧

As a German I really LOVE BRITISH ENGLISH (not American English!) because of its sound and pronounciation (I think that is one reason why I really love William Shakespeare and his plays!). England is one of my favourite countries and I would also like to visit Scotland. And I have some English relatives living in Nottingham...a cousin of my mother married a British gentleman and moved to England, I think this was BEFORE WW II started.
Since several years her son and his wife nearly regularly visits us in Germany, in Northrhine-Westfalia. They (and also the other British relatives) are very nice and intelligent.
But I am very disappointed that UK left EC. The British people are also our European brothers and sisters.
Liebe Grüße aus Deutschland...loving greetings from Germany 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

Peace British brothers and sisters!:D Love from Germany. Let's build a bright future together and not against each other.

As a German I have lived in the UK for over 10 years and have grown really fond of British people. They are open, funny, educated, pragmatic, have the best sense of humour in the world, are very good at and don't take themselves (or the rest of the world) too seriously. Genuinely nice people, I have made lots of friends in the UK and my stay there has definitely enriched my life and changed me for the better (I hope). I moved back to Germany because of Brexit - after the referendum I feel the mood in the general public had changed for the worse and I did not feel welcome any longer. Of course that was largely due to the media and NOT because of the people I knew personally. Every single Briton I have met (with the exception of my first landlord) has been absolutely fantastic and I still love GB to bits (just not their government).
