In times of crisis, we all need to take a moment and enjoy a good, hearty laugh. Queer Eye‘s fab five delivered much-needed LOLs over the weekend, as our favorite, comforting divas shared the real differences between the British and the Americans in a hilarious video clip.
Even though the Americans (Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, Antoni Porowski, and Bobby Berk) have an unfair advantage against a single Brit (As France), it is unnecessary to say that, while Americans have “spirit”, the British have “fabulosity.” Ahead, see seven very important differences between the British and the Americans, from the pronunciations of celebrations:
Tomato or Tomahto?
Antoni and So jokingly duelled as well as for the pronunciation of “tomato” queen and if the beloved summer fruit is actually a vegetable. “Too much time tomahtoes have been poorly understood,” Antoni jokes, where As chimes “Is a tomato!”
Baby Showers
Americans know how to party — because baby showers, bridal parties, and even engagement rings are always bigger in the US of A. “This is a much more elegant baby shower that I have ever seen before,” Tan comments. “American. Am I right?” Antoni says.
Squirrel or Sqwhirl
The guys absolutely roasted As how the Brits pronounce “squirrel”, but So definitely defended himself by clarifying that “sqwhirl it’s a noise, the squirrel is a word!”
The men of the Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship
Jonathan challenged tan to a “man of the rhythmic gymnastics championship”, also known as a “hula hoop” face-off. So he won, of course, effortlessly spinning two hoops around her snatched waist, while JVN could barely keep a hoop above the hips. Nice try, but +1 for the British.
The love of Carbs
In the united states, there is a gym narrative that “carbs are bad”, but in the uk, are a sacred part of a balanced and moreish the diet, especially of potatoes. “I love the carburetor,” Tan says. “America, embrace the carbs!”
Band Camp
A very strange idea for the British, So frequent in the team to clarify the love of the Americans by the band as “the camp”. “It is not rig of the same as the band camp?” So asks. “No,” Bobby responds, “It’s a little like a dance team.”
American Schools vs Schools of English
So he was surprised by the enlargement of the student enrollment in American schools. “The schools of the united states do not resemble the schools of English,” So you learn. “This school has 2000 students, my school was 200 students. Full high school musical!”
