People from England are so strange...


After seeing this movie, that was really the thematic statement I was able to pick up. I mean...fraternity dog shows and fencing competitions where first blood is a legitimate rule. And the English guy that would only have sex with his girlfriend on Wednesday because a "London man has restraint."

Let me just get this out in the open, if any college has a dog show as a form of competition who the hell would want to go there. I sure wouldn't and that's why I'll never live in England. I'd rather kill myself.

reply

I'll assume that you're being sarcastic and you know none of those things is real. British universities don't have fraternities, or dog shows for that matter. I haven't seen this film because I'm not in the US, but I get the impression that it's an American's idea of Oxford or Cambridge, complete with fraternities and other features of American college life, populated by American stereotypes of the English upper classes.

On the other hand, German universities have secret duelling (as opposed to fencing) societies in which duellists use real fighting swords and run the risk of serious injury.

uuuu they don't show our country as it really is. *whine*
Watch a *beep* documentary then.

reply

What are you blabbering on about you fool? Let me guess, you an ignorant American right?

I think people who go to see this kind of movie are strange.

reply

"Let me guess, you an ignorant American right?"

I believe ignorance is shown by forming incoherent sentences.

reply

Yes, ok so I ommitted an "'re" or "are" after "you".......my mistake.

You have to admit that the person who started this post is being pretty narrow-minded though, regardless of nationality.
No offence but it just startles me how some Americans are so blinkered to the real world.

Example; my mother (from near London) went on a business trip to Colorado Springs where some guy asked her "Do you know John Smith from Norwich?" What the hell??? I know England is small but the population today is 60,441,457.

Also I've heard that many Americans ask "Have you met the Queen?".

Unbelievable!

reply

Yes now i've spelt "omitted" wrong. I'm not awake yet!

Actually England is only 50Mill the UK is 60Mill

reply

Hey, I noticed you said SOME Americans are 'blinkered'. But let's be a little more realistic. I'm a Californian-American. I make that distinction because many Americans are knuckleheads when it comes to anything beyond their own backyards. But SOME of us in SoCal are a little wise to the ways of the world.

Now I've been to other parts of the good ol' US and had some real boobs ask the same questions. Just because I'm from SoCal(Southern California) doesn't mean Pamela Anderson is my next door neighbor. I've never had Brad or Angelina come over and ask for a cup of sugar. There are 37 million people in Cali and bumping into famous is pretty hard to do.

Well, there was that time Judd Nelson bumped into me. And the time I insulted Ian Ziering. And the time Mike Ness... nevermind I digress.

As for this film, it was crap. I like Kal, some of the jokes were funny, and you can never have enough boobs in a movie. Someday soon, I hope to make a movie that will only star the chests of the actors. You will never see a single face speaking dialogue. Just dialogue and boobs. I'll probably get an Oscar!

Well being British I'll assume that, having watched lots of Frathouse comedies, that Americans must go to school till they're about, say, 23 and then on to University. Obviously they can't go when they are 18 like in the UK as what's the point in going to Uni when you cannot get absolutely bladded on very cheap booze (21 you poor poor things over there )

and no wonder the film's doing badly if the stereotypes are 20 years out of date, as no doubt the Brit would all be drunk these days and being rude (I suppose naked breasts are just too much a shock for middle America and the Wal*mart massives, so thats why the American versions of Maxim and FHM seem to be so coy)



Example; my mother (from near London) went on a business trip to Colorado Springs where some guy asked her "Do you know John Smith from Norwich?" What the hell??? I know England is small but the population today is 60,441,457.



and 90% of us are Polish anyway these days

reply

We're getting off topic here...

So there are no dog shows or fencing? no fraternities either? Well that being the case I'd say that this film is absolutely a must see being that its completely false interpretation of English college is so blatantly wrong, but nonetheless a production company was able to read this script and consider it a movie worth making.

reply

Sorry to say.....not really. American and English cultures do not mix well. Americans don't get English jokes. Americans laugh out loud. The English chorkle. It's all weird.

reply

why any brit would not be able to understand that in america, the only easy place to find the illegal beer your crave it underage to go to uni.

most american students party themselves out in 3 years and settle down.

sure there are the 6th year seniors here and there who hang outwith fish but they are not the norm.

reply

Well you cant take the few Americans you meet as a whole. I wouldn't ask you about the Queen because honestly i think even having a royal family to me is silly in this day and age. One thing i might ask is if your into 'futball' at all because it is the best sport in the world.
Also you went to the west, and since i live in Utah i can say that not the smartest people live there, kind of like our equivalent to Hull City i guess.

reply

You *beep* looser, Im English, And I Have Never Met Anyone (English Or Not) That Is Like This, Sort It Out, MOVIES ARE NOT REAL, Yank Scum.

reply

Do you really need the "yank scum"? Calm down, old boy.

We don't have fraternities in the UK, probably because they would be perceived at best as an artificial and absurd method of bonding, and at worst as rather homosexual.

reply

Ah, the subject of this thread (and the subsequent posts) reminded me of an episode of "Cheers", where everyone at the bar wants to settle a bet with a game of darts, and Cliff turns to the Englishman Robin and says, "You English guys play alot of darts, don't you?" And Robin replies, "yes, we English do nothing but; sit around dank pubs all day, drinking warm ale, dropping our "h"s, and toasting the Queen." Woody then turns around and says "boy, those movies they showed us in junior high were right on the money!" Hilarious!

reply

its turning into that. anyone see the irony in the situation, how you guys are trying to stop eachother from stereotyping but end up spewing insulting stereotyupes about eachother?

Generalhacker: Are you serious? I looked at your forst post and nearly fell off my chair laughing. Let me guess: Canadians live in igloos with polar bears and Austrillians throw boomerangs at kanaroos or some crap like that.

Your second post wasn't much better, if you look at most movies with a rateing of 1.7, you'll find none of them aren't very factually accurate.

reply

T2Kicks1987, I don't joke, and are you making fun of me?

Let's get a few things straight here...

Throughout history English policy making has cause many many problems for many people. The only country that rivals the English in causing problems is probably France. Now a country that has caused most modern problems except for AIDS shouldn't be excused from being made fun of.

Van Wilder 2 is an extreme example of how to make fun of England and that's why I believe it's a must see. Now...some people from England might get angry, but guess what, I don't care. Why? The country you represent was the one that threw Germany into a depression which led to WWII and the Holocaust killing hundreds of millions of people. Your country is the one that occupied and colonized most of Africa and left the continent war torn and impoverished. Your country is the one that agreed to the division of the middle east which led to sects of Islam fighting for power over their country which eventually led to a large number of Islamic terrorists. Your country is the one that traded opium to Asia knowing of its extremely addictive quality which led to the Opium War and British colonization of Hong Kong. And not to mention England's colonization of India which was referenced in this movie.

The point is England has screwed the world up in more ways then one and that is why Van Wilder 2 is a must see purely for its blatant use of British stereotypes. Thank you!

reply

Last time I checked, there was no Africa colonization, Islamic terror and opium wars in Van Wilder 2.

And last time I checked English people at a college age weren't pompus snobs who have sex on Wensdays, two of my best friends are English.

reply

I never said there was any of that in Van Wilder 2, I'm saying thats what England did in real life...

And my whole point is that English people in college aren't like that, but its a must see because of its blatant use of those stereotypes you just listed. I've said this twice already...

reply

Most of UK youth culture consists of drinking till you fall over or vomit quite literally. Yes the beer does come in pints and much of it is still warm ale but the majority is now lager with some cider drinking. And be warned the lager is rather stronger than you are used to in america.

American students contain a larger amount of respectably dressed people who often go to church and may even drink sensibly. Your much more likely to find someone who has studied classics and even reads latin in the usa as they have a much more varied curiculum. In the UK if you study maths your really just study maths.

Ultimately the big difference though is most american universities considered worth showing in american films like american pie are very priveledged expensive places. In the UK they are all state universitys so there are many more people without cars for instance scraping along. Though admitedly Cambridge spoofed here does have a larger quantity of posh people but still no were like an ivy league university. And they still spend much of their time drinking till they fall over.

And if it wasn't for England...you wouldn't be born, general...

general to put this nicely you are with out doubt a complete *beep* moron... if you actually beleive what you've written then i suggest you get down to the library and do a little reading instead of beleiving your own opinionated fantasy drivel... sort it out kid you really dnt help with the american sterotype.

Seppos Vs Poms. Take away the accents and you'd never be able to tell the diferrence between the two. The ill-informed tirade a couple of posts up the thread was closer to the mark than the writer knew except of course, the hegemonist moves weren't made solely by perfidious Albion.

Every instance of 20th century colonial meddling quoted was perpetrated by USuk. The first half of the 20th century it was usUK, the second USuk. Fortunately the influence of both are on the wane. A couple more years of rape and murder in Iraq will mark the end of global domination by the english-speaking whitefellas. We'll get to see if the 12 step program worked for the former opium addicts.

get a *beep* grip man and leave the house once in a while!

reply

You idiot (enough said,) i enjoy watching American films and i can laugh at myself and my country but what you have just written is obnoxious, poorly written and ignorant.

Let me analyze:

Second World War happened due to the Nazi party coming into power and then invading Poland, the Nazi's came into power thanks mostly to their renouncement of the Versailles Treaty (created by the League of Nations (which guess what included the great U.S.A)) a staunch anti communism idea and promises of greater economic stability.

The depression which caused Germany to cry out for economic stability happened after the Wall Street Crash (hmm isn't Wall Street in the U.S.A) America gave Germany 90 days to repay the money the U.S loaned to them, as Germany couldn't call upon any other super power to help them out of debt (because Britain and France where still paying back their debts) they where bankrupted by America and the depression followed forcing millions into unemployment (thousands of homeless starving german children died) closely followed by hyperinflation.

Britain is not responsible for Saudi Arabian terrorists, in fact because 15% of the American government's crude oil is supplied by Saudi Arabia, making it one of the key oil suppliers to the West, no wonder the Al Quaeda are targeting the U.S in terror attacks as they hope it will cause withdrawl of the U.S soldiers (sent there in 1990 after Kuwait) from Saudi Arabia and especially Medina and Mecca and eventually complete removal of foreigners from their holy places - Again the U.S

Africa was first colonised by the Dutch and Musslemen (Arabs) the British colonized and adopted slavery late in the 1400's and you should remember that the U.S not the U.K was responsible for more slavery and oppression then any other country at that time! Ths is thanks to your cotton and tobacco plantations. The British fought and won several major victories (at the same time sustaining heavy losses) at several battles in Africa such as the Firs Matabele War, this gave us an element of control over Africa however we eventually handed over the Government to the South African people and since then Rhodesia has turned into Zimbabwe and the Tutsi and Hutu massacres have happened (not under English rule but French.)

I agree with you about the Opium Wars, however it wasn't Britain that was responsible but the British East India Company who traded opiates instead of silver with the Chinese this was a Company so anyone who had stock in it (including some Americans)is equally guilty

Finally India, we like the Roman Empire, gave the Indian nation certain aspects of our civilisation that still exist today e.g sanitation, roads and railways. The railways are the most important as these enabled India to trade with the countries surrounding and thus increase their overall prosperity as a nation and remove the overall wealth from the select minority Maharaja's

So my point is before you state *beep* about a country you have probably never been too and judging by your intelligence, will probably never afford enough to go to, i laugh at American stereotypes (fat idiots) and thank God that i wasn't born in a country who's very existence came about through the country i am mocking colonising it!

Thank you

reply

Ginger-stallion, I appreciate that you were one of the few people to give me a well thought out argument. But you must know that the depression in Germany was in part caused by the Great Depression, but the Treaty of Versailles was barely if not at all influenced by the U.S. government. France was more aggressive with punishing Germany for WWI, and Brittan was also aggressive as far as punishing Germany, but I don't believe as much. That's why I said the only country to rival Brittan as far as causing problems is France. Woodrow Wilson himself I recall wasn't even at the Paris Peace Conference, he decided to let Europe handle its own countries (which in turn was why we didn't enter WWI until the final year).

But us purchasing oil from Saudi Arabia didn't establish terrorism. Brittan's colonization of the Middle East divided the country based on profits and not on the Middle Eastern culture. When England left the Middle-East they divided the country leaving different sects in each country. Thats why Saddam Hussein carried out a genocide against many of its own citizens. And that's why the entire region is radical enough to produce terrorists. Our oil purchasing does fund terrorism however, but truth be told we need oil and they have a lot of it. We're not directly funding terrorism, but as you I'm sure know the U.S. is one of the largest oil consumers, so we have to buy oil. It's unfortunate that such a savage group can find a large quantity of resources to fund their crazy agenda.

You are right about slavery, we did cause many problems to the continent, and in retrospect that was a combined effort by many countries so I probably wouldn't use it as a point if i was to restate my argument.

Now I have been to England and much of Europe. What I did notice in my time there is that many people do hate America. But I realized you don't hate America because we actually are the way you think we are. You hate us because every piece of news media in Europe is so incredibly liberal that all you ever hear about is how crappy America is and how stupid our president is. Sure he's stupid but theres a lot worse people out there. The citizens of America are not all fat and stupid. Well a lot of them are. But I think that's true of any population. The fat and stupid ones are not the ones creating policy by any means.

reply

Just to reply to the point at the top, this movie shows a warped sense of what it is to be English. Being from Northern Ireland and going to uni in England i would suggest that any of the non English posters should maybe watch something like Football factory, Human traffic (altho its based in wales) or good bye charlie bright if they want to get a realistic view of English (working class, which is what most of us are here) youth culture. Which is not so much "Tea and crumpets" but drinking, shagging, partying and abit of casual violence. I'm not going to insult anyone from anyonther country coz acting tough on these posts is a little sad and it is naive to judge a whole country on a sterotype.

reply

liberal media is a good thing, i dont understand how LIBERTY is a bad thing?? isn't that what our country is founded under? liberty?

liberal = free, and you dont like liberty...ok so you musn't like america then, because from what I have heard america is the land of the FREE~!

reply

<i>and thank God that i wasn't born in a country who's very existence came about through the country i am mocking colonising it!</i>

So America didn't exist until Europeans, etc. "discovered" it? What ego. I'm sure the American Indians would have something to say about that.


reply

and who took away the native american land and drove them into reservations? *cough* USA *cough*

Right. And Europeans have never, ever done anything like that.

I don't know why discussions about movies have to turn into discussions about...this.

'The Great Depression' in the US was not caused by Wall street as much of the stock market was still infantile. In fact, here in the US, one of the major contrbutros was the Great Dust Bowl in the Midwestern portion of the country in the mid-to late- 1920' which caused the recession and the eventual crash on Black Monday on October 29, 1929. You may try reading John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men", an excellent book that has great detail of the dust bowl.

The effects may have been felt around the world then, as they are today, but when any major global economy suffers, it affects another's economy. When the EU has economic trouble, it causes turmoil here in the US and in Asian markets, just as when the US market has its issues, it causes issues for other markets.

The energy issue for example is problem because oil is still traded in US dollars in the NYMEX, something that is not decided by us Americans. Because the price of oil keeps skyrocketing and of the dollars lower value compared to other currencies, the price of oil is tremendously higher outside the US.

For some of the other comments about conditions in India- I don't think you can ay they are great sanitary conditions, excellent roads, and tremendous railways there, or great prosperity. You also forgot about the French who invaded Africa, and Stalin in Russia and Mussolini in Italy during WWII.

He he he, one of the funniest posts I've read on this board. You really set things 'straight' with that post.

I better set things 'straight' about a few other countries!!!!!!

Ahem, The Australians were the first men to land on the moon. They did that in 1995. When they found it was made of cheese, they collected lot of it and sold it to a small company in the US. The company in the US then made so much money selling the stuff that they named a gorge after it in England "Chedder Gorge"

Contrary to your post, the French actually invented AIDS by accident when they tried to pickle a wombat while while helping out the US to overthrow their English oppressors during the american revolution/war of independence.

Copper electrical wire is spun by frogs, much like webs are spun by spiders. But it took the genius of a Romainian called Borat to actually find a use for copper wire: Electrocuting spiders. He now owns the biggest frog farm on Pluto.

reply

This post is astonishing. 'A country that has caused most modern problems except for AIDS'? Firstly that statement doesn't really make any sense and secondly what you are trying to say is absolutely ridiculous. The Holocaust was Britains fault? What Britain did set of a chain of events which led to millions of people being killed in the most brutally efficient manner ever seen on this earth. By the same argument you could blame almost everyone. How about Jesus? He's the one responsible for Christians hatred of Jews. I think Hitler could have been let of by blaming the holocaust on 1920s Britain and 33AD Jerusalem.
If you dig around enough you'll find all coutries have done stuff the present population is not proud of, what matters is that they can learn from their mistakes. I don't hate americans, I dislike the idea of america as a capitalist superpower that thinks it has the authority on the way the world should be run. The problem with america is not that they stole the land from the natives 250 years ago but that they pursue selfish in the present. I can't effect the abuse 100 years ago by the colonies but you can effect the current abuse of power by your government by voting against them.

reply

hmmmm, let me see, first of all the fact that we owned the world at one point and had our colonies everywhere didnt ruin the world, in that respect was it the romans that ruined the world before that, or did they give us roads and plumbing heating etc? our colonies helped the countries that were in need of that help as whilst they were our colonies they were apart of our economy. we gave all of those countries their freedom if you will as soon as they were able to better themselves etc and were no longer war tarnished or impoverised.

the world wars were both nessecary, we were under threat and we were protecting the interests of all the countries that couldnt protect themselves, poland for example, we ha no alternative as it was clear negotiation was out of the window...we did things the right way an the way that any other decent country would have...

lets talk about YOUR country now...

firstly you try to police the world and enforce your lifestyle etc on everyone else, anyone that doesnt share your views you mock and stereotype, you scumbags even had WARS to keep slavery and you question OUR ethics...COLD WAR, CIVIL WAR, WAR ON "TERROR/OIL", VIETNAM, GULF WAR, IRAQ/AFGANISTAN, WW2 WITH JAPAN ONLY, as you only came for glory and joined in 1944, like 7 months before the end of the war....and you think you done us a favour, all your troops do is friendly fire an kill innocents all the time...cough cough hirosima, nagasaki cough cough...
there is sooooooo much negative history towards you country, you are hated by EVERY country in the world, i think that we are your only real allies.
you will also find that france have barely mobilised an army in centuries and have done nothing an refused to be apart of any conflict...

your post is *beep* beyond all belief and you share the thing that everyone hates the most that all americans seem to do...you say your OPINION as if it is fact, when in reality you clearly know *beep* all but want to appear that you do. i strongly suggest that you read more than 1 sided textbooks...read an american book filled with ommissions and lies and you will think stuff like america won vietnam...as all american media would have you believe.

reply

If English people can screw up and play around with human history (colonization and splitting and naming countries whatever they think), and can enjoy characters like Ali G who always misrepresents Kazakistan (not to mention the movie Borat)they have no right to get mad when someone makes fun of their own British culture (let it be misrepresentation like Borat) nor when some American movie calls the queen "the queen of england" instead of "the queen of britain" !!!! By the way, we Americans have never colonized other countries (and in some of those bad things we have done like Vietnam/ Iraq War, you were with us and those happened because of some bad genes we have got from British!!!)

reply

The bottom line here is that the film is a misrepresentaion of British student life. I don't know how it transgressed into the debate it has become, but to contribute I will say this;

The actions of my country (UK) are NOTHING to do with me. The common man is so far removed from the creation of international policy that it's meaningless to attack us. More importantly, the actions of my country BEFORE MY BIRTH are even less to do with me, so I hate to see people bringing up the past and using it as a weapon, because frankly it's a waste of time because I refuse to be judged by the actions of my forefathers (who most likely come from all over the world). I do however have a major grudge against the US and UK governments for going to war in Iraq. A large of the UK population was totally against the war, for better or worse, and we showed that by marching through our cities repeatedly but to no avail, so i find it wrong to judge the PEOPLE for the actions of government.

reply

if you think a film like this is a proper interpretation of British student life then there is something wrong with you, i dont even think this is a proper interpretaion of humans in general.

reply

I hope your joking. I hate films like this, it makes English people look like posh bastards. No one even acts like that in England ffs, if they do its probably 0.01% of the population. And people that go to Oxford or Cambridge aren't like that either, again like 5% of people do.
If your not being sarcastic and actually believe this is what English people act like then your the most unedjucated person I've ever seen.... ever. I hate films that think their funny when they just take the piss out of British people because apparently we all have big noses, drink tea and talk posh.

and for the records terrorists cells are not funded by the oil u buy,its so wrong to say that,
first of all the money that comes from oil go to the governments(saudi arabia,kuweit,UAE...) and not to individuals...and those govts do not SUPPORT terrorisme

Oh Lord. I apologize for some of the comments on this board. What a hateful, spiteful way to express an opinion. It's a movie! A bad one at that! Never would I take a tacky movie and say, "well, they must have those over there because of the Imperialistic Colonization of blah, blah, blah AIDS blah blah blah Indians! blah blah"

One poster commented how every country on this planet has screwed someone else or has been screwed one time or another. This means that we take that information and glean what we can from it so we can try to prevent these problems from happening again. Simple.

If you aren't part of the solution, you're part of the problem.

Oh, and I'm an American who lives in Hickville, U.S.A. and loves hamburgers. I try not to be ignorant, though. *grin*

And people HAVE to agree with me that our foreign policy has been in the toilet for a long, long time. We don't help the situation when we come off as arrogant and unwilling douchebags who don't accept others' cultures and where they live. Give me a break! The current affairs are just fueling the anti-American fire. I can't really blame some countries for not liking us. This is something that needs to be repaired now.

SinisterGin,

somoene here has hit the nail on the head.

The movie sucks. Worst off, all this bickering over not only a terrible movie, but a movie this is basically stolen exactly from another movie- PCU.

For some strange reason, I searched through the entire board, no one else picked up on e the same theme on the exact similarities?

PCU (in the movie Port Chester University aka Politically Correct University):

a frat "Cock and Balls"- a consisting primarily of deemed slackers led by characters played by Jeremy Piven and Jon Favreau, has to raise money to pay the semester's housing damages bill or they will be kicked out of their Frat House. They are being opposed by the other Frat ( I don't remember the name), trying to get the C&B Frat House, that are stuck up, and nick-named the Reaganites, lead by David Spades' character, who is also kissing up to the University President. Through in a HS Senior visiting C&B for the weekend, Protesting student groups that hate both Frats, school Admin, and each other, and the President who is also trying to throw the Uni. Anniversary Celebration and the C&B out of school.
