Title: Brits in American life
Post by: Slapper on December 04, 2016, 06:06:47 AM
For the life of me, I do not understand as to why there are SO. MANY. FUCKING. BRITS. in all-things-Americana. TV, movies, music, comedy: They're everywhere, like Mexicans.

Who the fuck is hiring these assholes that can't find an American to do the job?

It's as though there's a war against the American male. A subliminal war.

Great actors come to the States from all over the world, but lately those actors do seem to be coming more and more from England.  Keep in mind that acting, drama, and the arts are much more prevalent in UK schools than they are in America.  This, coupled with two differing cultures has created an array of extremely talented British actors/actresses.  I don't mind this at all.

Aren't British men a bit too gay for American taste?

That opinion is due to British men being represented by fags like Hugh grant and the like, the typical northern man who actually grafts for a living makes your average fat lazy Workshy American bloke look like a fucking neutered pussy

Fame in America compared to fame in the UK is totally different financially.  The Brits come here for the money and exposure.

I have to problem with anyone coming here legally to make a living.

My BEEF is with the apparent absence of Americans that could fill those roles. We are made to believe that there are no qualified Americans to do the jobs these Brits are taking, but we all know the laws of probability, not gossip, make that an intensely absurd comment.

The American male is under cultural attack and its roles are now being filled by half-faggs from Australia or Britain like Craig, Jackman, et cetera.

I guess they get hired because they seem exotic but are still white and speak the language. I don't know that mulatto dude.

The silver lining is that they're a day late and a dollar short. Hollywood's best days are long gone. No one except fat women cares about useless Hollywood celebrities.

Dude, it's everywhere!

Just saw the 35,000th commercial in which an overly authoritative (PMSing) wife treats her husband like a little kid. Followed by another commercial about some guy on a horse inviting women to look at him and then look at her husband...

It's everywhere.

The pussification of American media outlets is really getting to me.

It has to do with the way we've been developing acting and comedic talent in the States the last few decades. Gone is the American (many times character) actor who was forced to develop well rounded acting talent through numerous bit parts in movies, tv shows, and theater, and classes. If you look at the best American actors both back then, and now, that is how they were brought up. Now they just seem to grab some pretty kid, plop him in front of the screen for some very shruggable film, and there  is not a huge eye toward the long haul.

Meanwhile, the Brits, and foreign actors are aged and well trained by the time the get here. They are coming up in they way Americans used to.

Hmm.  A little local bias there.  There's workers and slackers anywhere.  Hell, I met a family in Newcastle and not one of the 'kids' (pushing 25 at the time, all living at home) would get a job.  Pop was in the oil game in Dubai so brought home some bacon but they were basically middle class.  It's not like there was money enough to sit on their ass and never worry.  The one son, all he'd do was ride around on his mountain bike until he fell off and broke something and add mods to his car, which was given to him.  A fucking mini cooper.  ::)  Excruciatingly cute.  Later he totaled it and his dad bought him a brand new one.  The mom waited on that kid hand & foot.  It was unreal.

They were nice folks.  Just bone fucking idle except for the dad.  Last I heard one of the daughters got abandoned at the altar and the son was all bent out of shape because he couldn't keep a woman around, couldn't keep a job, and had moved back to home.  He's got to be almost 40 by now.  If the dad could go back in time he'd grab that boy on school graduation day, give him a couple slaps, and say "Right.  Here's the new fookin' rules."

True.   ;D

Whatever became of him?

Back on topic...As a kid even I noticed that in all the gods and goddesses in film almost always had a British accent.  This fascination of America with that particular accent goes way back in film, so much so that many American actors and actresses of the 30s through the 50 would affect such an accent.  I suppose it lends an air of "class".

That's why Hollywood loves them. Straight British men come off as gay to hetero American men. So Hollywood gets the best of both worlds. They get talented actors who help push their homo agenda to the masses without being homo...Hell didn't Hollywood just make James Bond 007 bisexual recently? Totally unnecessary but they fucking did it anyway.

It's like a princess syndrome with some of these guys.  If they can't have their [totally unrealistic] dream job then they won't take anything.  Others are just full of shit.  Listening to them talk about looking so determinedly for work is like hearing a fatty talk about how strict she is with her diet.  Yeah right.

I've known 'em.  Always going wrong and leaching what they can.  I didn't sever ties harshly but I made a point of being less and less available.

Usualy if you come from a working house you take example, my dad worked every hr going and it usualy rubs off on you. The poor fuckers who come from 3 generations of dole bums have no chance, if they do well they are an exception. They should neuter the lazy bastards, nothing good will come from 99% of them, all they do is breed and hold there hacky lazy hands out for dole money...


What bassyG points to is the northen lads still work in men's industries, we are all horrible cruel bastards, a southern office dweller would leave in floods of tears screaming about bullying as would most faggy Americans, altho I'm aware parts of US have the same backgrounds and similar people

Most people want to do as little as possible to draw a good wage these days, the sense of pride that comes from providing for your family is long gone, 'men' are no longer ashamed of being kept by benefits, personally I'd be deeply ashamed but some seem to embrace it.

Also Many men just Aren't capable of work these days,I'm sure You've probably seen the same thing being in the building game yourself, you take a new lad to labour for you who's "desperate for work" and the fuckers as much use as a wire mesh and he is relieved when you say he's not needed again. Had one lad i left on a job filled two wheelie bins with bricks rather than put them in the skip, then never turned up for two days and his mam rang me saying hed been ill but was ready for work again for fucks sake

Glad I'm out of that game for the time being as finding a good labourer was like fucking gold dust in the end

Agree on both points, one of my good mates is a Workshy cu nt as are his 4 brothers, but growing up 4 of them lived with their mam who was the town slapper and fed them tiny portions for tea to save her dole money for drinking down the street at weekend, her bloke used to quickly scoff pie and chips from the chippy in the alley before going in the house as he knew his tea would be tiny, their dad didn't work ever either so never had they been set an example for working for a living.

The working place is true haha I laugh because I bet there's things both of us have done in the workplace that we dare not mention here for fear of looking an utter cu nt ha nothing is off limits, one thing a decent working bloke enjoys is hard graft and taking the piss out of some poor fucker
