Right?

Like just because we export all our media to you (because it's better) and make fun of our stereotypes in that media, doesn't mean that most of us are like that. Believe it or not we actually have cool stuff that's uniquely American.

And the reason you see Kraft singles is because we don't want to share our BBQ with you.

Lmao. Get back to me when you've got something like Taskmaster, Would I Lie To You, or QI.

We can't do everything for you guys. We're holding down the imperial system almost single handedly. Help a brother out.

America has the Squid Games reality show and Mr Beast. They're kind of like Taskmaster if the point of Taskmaster was dangling life changing money in front of poor people.

They're nothing like Taskmaster then lmao.

That is the joke, yes.

If you said Doctor who, like 15 years ago, then I'd give you a solid maybe.

look like

Yeah that's an American problem. Preferring a glossy looking garbage over something non-glamorous but substantial.

FYI I'm neither American nor European.

Tell me what country you're from, then, so I can look up how to roast it in the book of Places No One Gives a Shit About.

Wow you're a really thinskinned dicktip.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Nah, I'm trolling you because you're stupid.

American here, you’re straight up wrong. We have no equivalent to their panel shows. Comparing them to game shows is like comparing open heart surgery to being stabbed.
