Having grown up in both countries, the joke here is about colonialism more than American stupidity.
The British know everywhere spices, sugar and coffee come from innately
It’s absolutely not.
What’s Nicaragua got to do with British colonialism? It’s about Americans being ignorant of other countries.
I will give them this, England is great at geography. Can’t colonize if you can’t get there.
How could I not upvote Robin.
It’s all still on the curriculum from when everything was part of the Glorious Empire
That doesn’t excuse the Americans though

Edit: this one might be better
Military bases != Colonization.
One is an outpost. The other is making the people there subservient to you. I get the point you’re making, but it’s not the same and it trivializes actual colonization(which yes, the US does do). India wasn’t just a military base for the British. They ruled over them and collected taxes and imposed laws. Same with Ireland. It’s be offensive to compare their plights to placing a military base.
YEP!
I love Noel Fielding
Man I wish they still made The Mighty Boosh. So brilliantly surreal.
Noel has no chill
Me too man.
Wow, Richmond looks so joyful there.
As an American, I get surprised by US states. Like, wtf, you telling me Arkansas is a state? You mean there’s a NEW Mexico? Rhode Island?
