We're in America for the World Cup, and you won't believe they got Lou right in the house. Right to the left, you walk in, and the L's right here. There's a toilet right on the inside. You don't have to go outside.
>> Have you ever seen Lou on the inside?
>> No.
>> If you're not on this side of social media, then where have you been?
So, the World Cup is finally bringing people from all over the world into America. And I'm not even going to lie, some of these foreign visitors have been giving the funniest reactions ever. Like, people came here expecting football vibes and nice stadiums, but instead, they got culture shock, giant food portions, chaotic Walmart experiences, and Americans randomly talking to them in public. From tourists being confused about tipping culture to realizing you literally need a car for everything here, social media has been eating these reactions up, and honestly, some of them are way too accurate.
So today, we are going to talk about the hilarious reactions foreigners have been having while visiting America for the World Cup because, trust me, the internet has been having a field day with this sword. So, welcome to today's video. If you're new to this place, kindly subscribe to the channel, like the video, share, leave your thoughts in the comment section, and let us get right into it.

>> Guys, I'm in America, and I can't lie. I've been hearing about Waffle House. Everyone's been telling me. About to go in now, guys. I love America. I've been here for like, what, 3 days? Everything is just amazing. Oh, American flag. [ __ ] guys. There's nothing like this in the UK. Like, this is actually beautiful. I'm guessing this is what you call a diner. My favorite workers over there, guys. His customer service is amazing. Listen, I was going to buy anything, but he convinced me. I can't lie, guys. I came late. What's he going to say so far?
>> Food is banging.

>> 10, bro. You know, with a very talkative guy. If he's not speaking while he's eating, the food is good. I'm excited, guys. I've literally got my food. I've got a cheese melt, and I've got waffle, and I've got ice cream, and I've got my my sauces. Guys, I'm not even that hungry. But this smells amazing. I can't lie.

>> Waffles. [music] I see why they call it Waffle W Hours. These are the best waffles I've ever had. Look, super soft.
This has to be my favorite trend ever on TikTok. Literally, all these Europeans coming to America for the first time and trying American food. We all know that the World Cup is here in America, so a lot of people from different countries are visiting. And I literally love every single food review that they do. It's not your typical American, "Hi, guys, I'm at Carbone Riviera. Hey everyone, I'm at Nou Miami. Let's check it out." It's literally, "Hey, mate, come with me as I try Chick-fil-A for the first time." So excited. Like, "I can't wait to try In-N-Out." Like, "I've been hearing about it for years." It's literally the most humble and wholesome food reviews. My favorite one is all the Europeans trying Texas Roadhouse. Texas Roadhouse is my favorite, and I just love all their reactions. Anyways, if it's your first time in America, welcome. I hope you have an amazing time.
My favorite reality show right now, no contest, is Europeans experiencing America, specifically Europeans experiencing food and stores like Walmart, Costco, specifically Brits. They're like, "What are you going to do with a big old jar of pickles?" I don't know. Honestly, I don't know either. I don't I don't know why we have those. Um, but it's fun. It's fun to see you experience it, too.
Now, the Europeans are hilarious, the ones that are visiting over here in, um, the US for the World Cup because we go to Europe and we go to like the Eiffel Tower, the Coliseum, like all of the Big Ben in London, all of these like massive attractions that are beautiful and old, and there's a reason why we go over there and we're in awe. Meanwhile, they come over here and they're going to like Waffle House, Wendy's, high school, uh, football stadiums, and they're just like their minds are blown. Yellow school buses. Now, I'm not like trying to trash them or anything, but like just like the levels of like awe are like not even I don't even get it. I I I am having a hard time wrapping my head around that for them. I can't believe it. They
>> Are you joking me? [laughter]
>> I didn't know that Costco had your beans.
>> Honey, this is insane.
>> Okay, you don't have to go overboard. We know they have it.
>> What if they sell out?
>> Oh, dude. I'm so happy for you.
>> You get to cuddle Bella. I get to cuddle my beans. I'm so happy. I can have beans on toast every day.
>> Oh gosh, Sam. Our entire cart is going to be beans. Okay, we live 20 minutes from here. Yeah, but what if they run out?
>> They're not going to. I promise you, they're not running out.
>> I think we ordered a little bit too much.
>> I think we overordered, y'all.
>> This is massive for comparison.
>> Oh my god, that's crazy.
>> What the hell?
>> What the hell? Okay, I think we're going to start with the long pretty well. I'm just eat my margarita here. Got that good. We have been beaten well and truly by the seafood boil. We still got two crab legs. We still got corn. They got loads of muscles and loads of cream fish, sausage, and egg. That's so much more.
Why do Europeans love Walmart so much? I'll tell you. As a European, you have heard about this place your whole life. It's one of those places that you know it's real, but it feels like mythical. It's like Route 66 or Time Square or, you know, even like a yellow school bus. You know they exist, but they're only part of a version of the US that you've seen on TV and grown up with. And then one day you walk through the doors to Walmart, and that's how you know you're in the US. And it, yeah, it makes you feel like weirdly emotional in this oddly familiar environment you've somehow never been. And I remember thinking this is what American people must feel when they see the Coliseum. Not because Walmart is ancient or beautiful or historically significant, but because it's something you've seen and heard about your whole life, and now it's real. And for a moment, you stop being a tourist and step into a culture that you've only ever observed from the outside. I just wish the Coliseum did coconut Dr. Pepper.
As a Londoner that's just arrived in New York for the World Cup, yo, New York accent in real life is crazy. It's like I'm literally in the movies. Like I'm hearing man say "Fton, Fton, Fton, Fton." I'm thinking like, bro, is that what you don't really actually sound like? Everyone's talking about the Knicks, the Knicks, the Knicks. Football is the biggest sport in the world. And I don't know if you New Yorkers even care about the football.
>> Yo, it's my first time driving in America, and let me tell you right now, these roads are humongous. It feels like cars are coming from everywhere. Which direction do you even look when you're trying to cross? But yeah, there's a few things you need to know before you drive in America. For example, if you're turning right, the traffic lights don't really apply to you. Like, if the road is clear, just go. Driverless cars are really a thing in America. Like, you will see them everywhere. It's mad. If you're driving in certain parts of Florida, like the Everglades, you're going to see some crazy stuff. We're talking snakes, birds, everything in between. I mean, this is my first time seeing a road floating in the sky, but I think it's pretty common in America. And then a lot of places you'll go to, they won't let you park your own car. They'll tell you, "Hop out. I'll take it from there."
>> You know, leave it there.
>> Leave it.
>> So, what do you want? What do I do?
>> I I leave the car right here. parking for you.
>> I'll catch you on the next one.
Being in America as somebody who's from Europe is honestly so crazy. Um, and what I'm about to say is going to sound so ridiculous to a lot of American people, but a friend of mine took me to Costco once for the first time, and I was like, bro, like where am I? I literally was walking around with my mouth open this whole time. And, uh, I'm from Estonia. It's it's a small country up north in Europe. We used to be under Soviet Union. And so, like 50 years ago, we did not have bananas. We did not have oranges, let alone Coca-Cas. Like our stores were empty. It's not that they're empty now. I mean, we've got some stuff, but it's very different from what you guys have here. And to think about that you guys have had everything for forever, that really put things into perspective for me. And, uh, I mean it it makes sense, but to honestly to like experience that in real life, it's different. And yeah, I was I was honestly just like overwhelmed by y'all's like cereal sections. It was it was crazy, dude. Like I'll never forget my first ever experience at Costco.
Wingstop now have this massive ranch like the ones in America, and I'm all of a sudden craving Wingstop just because I want that big ranch. So, let's go and get some. Okay, here we are. And can we do 12 pieces mango hanero food? Can we get the big ranch, please? Thank you. Wing soft fry churros. Then 12 mango hanero. Mango hanero is now genuinely my favorite flavor. Some tendons. This is why we're actually here. This is what's brought me out of my house today. How insanely big that is. That's unreasonable. But in the best way possible. Like whenever I get Wingsto, I have to have at least five of these. So, this is perfect for me. I feel like it's going to make it taste better. I feel like this is really going to elevate my experience. I'm first going to try it with some chili. Okay, that's it. They've gone extra saucy, I swear. Huh?
>> Yeah, I'm happy. You can just order one of these.
>> I'm really happy with this. This is the best invention ever. I could drink it. All right, we're going to have a tender. [music] Okay, we're finishing off with some churros. Is it just me? Every time I have something really savory, I have to have something sweet.
>> And to the European lady that just discovered ranch for the first time, somebody need to tell her she need to be careful. All ranch don't taste the same. She got that good [ __ ] for the first time. She's lucky. But tell her don't be trying every ranch. This [ __ ] get nasty. It get nasty.
>> Hello. Hello. Hello. I literally can't believe I woke up in America, and right now we are at Walmart. That's crazy. That's crazy. We are here coming to check out Walmart and see what we can buy. I actually have no idea. I feel like this is my first time to actually see the place. We arrived last night, and we hadn't seen anything yet. So, let's go and see what Walmart has to offer.
>> I definitely feel like this is very interesting, guys. They asked, "Do you have alcohol in the supermarket?"
>> Had my first, uh, culture crush. What's this? Oh, culture shock. Culture shock.
>> Culture shock. Cuz what do you mean dry milk? It's powdered milk, guys. It's literally powdered milk.
>> Culture shock. Culture shock. I want to try something American. And I want to think this is something American, but I also think we actually do have this in Australia, guys. I want to try something new. Like something I've never really had. You know what I mean? Like I don't know. Most of this stuff is like, We have it. We have it. We have that. Ooh, I like this steak and cheese sliders.
>> We got the big one. Lemon drink,
>> Some icing customer service.
>> Thank you so much. This is so massive. But I'm not complaining. Thank you for that drink as well.
>> For sure.
>> Cheers. Cheers.
>> Cheers.
There was a German man in Target yesterday who had a very strong smell of deodorant. I just know that man put 20 swipes per armpit because he was he knew about the stinky European stereotype and was like, "Nope, that ain't going to be me. That ain't going to be me." Because not 15 minutes prior to me walking by this German man, I walked by another European couple. I could smell their B. I could smell their B. Whereas when I walked by this German man, it was like I was sniffing the deodorant stick that it was so strong. But you know what? Yeah. You're in Houston, Texas. Wear your deodorant with aluminum. With aluminum. And you know what? I'm glad he decided he wasn't going to be the stinky European stereotype.
I'm currently on British person comes to America for World Cup Tik Tok, and I'm seeing all these guys who are like, "Have you ever heard of Sonic Ice? I've discovered it. I've discovered Sonic Ice." And then there was another one who discovered CVS, and then another one who was like, "Look at all these options for Dr. Pepper." And one of the comments on the video was like, "Not to brag, but this is what we have instead of Universal Healthcare. Oh, bloody hell. Oh my god. Oh, sorry. Is that cuz it's too cold in here? Let me go turn off the AC and I'll just open a window for a breeze instead.
>> No, no, please just leave it on. It's too hot.
>> Really? How hot is it? It's 30°. Your summers are mental. Oh, so like 86° F. Yeah. And it's actually not summer yet. This is our spring. You know what I meant? Can I have some of your water, please? What water? I I can't understand you. Oh, yes you can. Water? Oh, my water. Yeah. Sorry. I just have ice water, and I know you prefer room temp. So, let me go get some from the kitchen. It's fine. Just give it to me. Yeah. Not until you take it back. Take what back. You know what you said about us last summer? Oh, don't be ridiculous. Remember how you said that there's nothing like British heat and nothing like a British summer and how crazy and weak Americans are for loving AC and ice water? Fine, I take it back. Wait, wait, one more. Repeat after me. A British heatwave is an average spring in most of the US. And we're not trying to brag. It's not a flex. It's just a fact. That's way too long. Just give it to me.
I've just had one of the biggest cultural shocks since moving to America. So, I'm sitting outside listening to the football. I'm not inside watching it, but I'm listening to it and having a glass of wine at the same time. And the USA just scored. Congrats to them. Um, but we expected like to hear a massive uproar from the neighbors cheering, shouting. There is nothing, like literally not a peep from anyone anywhere. And if that was in the UK and England scorched for miles, you would be able to hear so much shouting and cheering, it's unreal. Like my husband even came outside like this, and he was expecting to hear it as well, and there was literally nothing. But yeah, let me know if you are American and you are interested in watching the football, soccer, whatever you want to call it. Um, because where I am, it doesn't seem like anyone's bothered by it. USA. USA. He's 74 now.
>> Sasha, who are you? [laughter] Like [laughter] [snorts] [laughter] [crying]
>> [laughter]
>> Hello. What I got? [laughter] [laughter]
>> [laughter]
Trust me when I tell you that when I saw that particular clip, I was just laughing. Like I was laughing my head off. You know why? Because that video is just talking about the time difference. Imagine when they are playing a match at probably 9:00 p.m. Eastern time somewhere like in Nigeria. That's going to be about 2:00 a.m. So, imagine people being awake at 2:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., maybe even 7:00 a.m. their time watching football when they actually supposed to be sleeping or be on their way to their jobs. So, it's pretty, pretty funny.
Let's talk about this hilarious reactions by these foreigners because some of these visitors came here expecting football vibes and instead got hit with pure American chaos the moment they landed. Like first of all, everybody is shocked by how massive everything is. The roads are huge, the trucks are huge, the drinks are huge, the grocery stores are basically stadiums. A tourist ordered a medium soda and probably thought they accidentally got the family park. Very accurate. Like the roads are so large that even some Americans I have encountered, they do not like driving on the highway because, come on, you're driving and you're on a road of about 6, 7, 8 lanes and the speed. Can we talk about the speed on those highways? It is scary, and it is crazy. Let's even talk about the the soda cups. When you are ordering for the medium cup, the medium cup is like something large too. [laughter] The large cup is jumbo. The medium is the large for me. Extremely large. And don't let them walk into Walmart for the first time. That alone is a cultural experience. People are literally filming themselves confused in the snack aisle. Like why are there 95 types of chips? America said options, baby. I've seen people saying that they spent hours while they were in Walmart just walking around. Even Costco. Like there's Costco in the United States, but the feeling of being in one right here in the United States makes it totally different. Like it's the first time walking into a Costco as a British person.
And can we talk about how visitors keep realizing you absolutely need a car here? A lot of people from other countries are used to trains, buses, and walking everywhere. Meanwhile, in the United States of America, Google Map will tell you the store is 5 minutes away, but somehow it's across a six-lane highway with no sidewalk. One tourist said, "So, you're telling me I can't just walk to the store?" America, come on. No. [laughter] That is a very big shocker for me when I came into the United States of America. Trust me, back home, we have all these stores. I think they call it mom and pop stores here in the United States. You can just easily come out and the next building by your side. Whatever you want, you could just get it from there. But here in the United States of America, you're going to shop, and you just have to have your list complete. Do not miss anything from your list because if you miss anything from your list, you will have to drive another 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 minutes to the store to go and get that particular item.
And what about the tipping culture? Oh my goodness, visitors are so confused, especially those that have never been on the US side of Tik Tok that never knew how the tipping culture is right here. They are like, "Wait, why am I paying extra after already paying?" Meanwhile, Americans are standing there stressed too because honestly, nobody fully understands it either.
Then there's the sport culture. These foreigners came for football and suddenly discovered tailgates, people grilling burgers at 8:00 a.m., music blasting, fans dancing in parking lots, entire families camping outside stadium like it's a holiday. And honestly, the funniest part is watching tourists realize every state in America feels completely different. New York feels different from Texas. Texas feel different from California. Florida feels like its own universe. And Atlanta is just a totally different world on its own. One visitor literally said, "America feels like multiple countries or 50 countries pretending to work together." And honestly, that might just be the most accurate thing ever.
But overall, you can tell a lot of these fans are having fun. The World Cup energy mixed with American chaos is creating some of the funniest internet moments right now. And social media has been eating these reactions up, and I cannot even wait for them to be here by July 4th when all the fireworks are going to be out celebrating 250. That's going to be so shocking for them.
And another thing that is shocking these foreigners is the fact that America, the United States of America, is not a football country, just as they call it soccer. Other parts of the world they call it football, but American calls it soccer, of which they have their own soccer. They call the American soccer. So it's a kind of culture shock for these people coming to the United States, even when the United States of America played their first match, and you know, it was so shocking for them that in other places when they played this match and probably a country scores, you hear people shouting, excited, your next neighbor is out on the street screaming, but the United States of America, it was just quiet, like there's nothing happening here. Come on, people, don't be shocked. This is the United States of America. If it's not NBA, if it's not, um, if it's not, you know, all the American sports that they love so much, they are not just interested in soccer. Is not their thing. And I've seen a number of people talking about, "Oh, I don't watch soccer, but I love the fact that I'm on this funny side of Tik Tok showing the reactions of these foreigners."
So guys, that brings us to the end of today's video. If you've watched up to this point, then it means you are the real MVP.
