Doodle bugs are those big beetles who work in pairs to collect cow poop and roll it home. (Dung beetles.)

American here, I don't dislike Raccoons, my uncle and aunt took care of a rescue pup for awhile named Roxy. Cute little thing. Veeeeery mischievous though. Having one as a pet reminds me of having parrots or a higher corvid as a pet in that you're not really taking an animal into your home. You're taking in a hyper active toddler level intelligence with, in the case of the raccoon, opposable thumbs and built in weapons. You may have childproofed your home, but I guarantee you it's not raccoon proof. They can make for very fun pets for the right person I'm sure, but you need to have the time to give them... and preferably work from home, or at least have an outdoor run/play pen for them or you're gonna get your house trashed. Kinda the same deal with having a fox. Love'em, but unless they're the domesticated Russian strain of silver fox they're not particularly great indoor pets.

"It's not up to you wife. I can feel the glare" LOLOLOL

what happened with that soviet map?

Your music continues to delight!

O.k. What if you get sick. Do you flee back to the UK? Of course, it's not my business, but do you have a profession? A steady job and related fixed income? Or do you like hamburgers, hotdogs, "friendly servers" and gallons of soft drinks and refills?

Lost in the Pond: Unfortunately i am an American, but i love raccoons. I had one as a brother when is was growing up. We had so much fun together! It is not true that raccoons wash their food. What is going on when you see this behavior is they get their paws wet so their more sensitive to touch.

I called the baseboard the trim. It's just referenced as the trim that touches the floor in my household. I'm US-based.

For most of my life I, and most of my family, referred to it as the "number" sign. It was used as a convenience for denoting sequence or selection. Instead of writing out "Number One, Number Two, etc." we would write #1, #2.

It drives me crazy when I hear "foward" instead of "forward."

Lots of stories about racoons here and as an individual that has actually lived in multiple national parks (employed) none capture the full capacity of these creatures. They not only can work together to accomplish a task, but can teach each other how to open things, knock stuff over and climb some of the most surprising manmade surfaces of any non-insect I have encountered. If your latch or ketch does not require a key, they will get past it.

4:34 I'm not sure that "remain non-rhotic" is quite the right way to look at it. My understanding is that most American accents are rhotic because British English was rhotic in the 1600s and early 1700s when America was colonized. British English later shifted to non-rhotic, but many parts of America remained (and continue to remain) rhotic. I mean, there's a reason that those "R"s were put into those words in the first place. 🙂

I took the mother tongue. 4 years of Latin. 😂

As a New Yorker, tag questions have a tendency to feel patronizing. That form of speech is often used when talking to a child or pet, or when trying to teach a lesson. So to hear it from a fellow adult can seem like they're calling me an idiot.

One night I went to take my wheelie bin (thank you for that most excellent term, English people, I'm trying to make it a thing here) out to the street and a raccoon popped out of it. Took about a year off my life.

Best thing about raccoons is their American nickname - "Trash Pandas."

Oh my god that brock lesnar joke killed me, and nice to see a fellow mid westener, this was a fun vid

I love the irony that the only people who can use Zoomer slang, are Zoomers and Gen X. I work with a lot of Zoomers at my office and when i say "Naw thats cap" they smile or chuckle a little, and then they start to test my Zoomerisms, often surprised i know more than they do...where as when some Millennial uses it, its always cringe...and everyone hates it when a Boomer tries too...but that prob due to everyone hating boomers, and rightly so. that being said, im not sure if its because, despite Gen X being the smallest generation, its the most liked, or if its like hearing my Grandfather say "Dude"...where it we would be endearing....oh God i hope its not that one, thats cringe. 8:36 HA! i knew you were gonna say that! Y'all is just too handy a word to not keep around, its a very woody word, its not tinny like Youse or Yin....Ya'llllllllllllll...yes nice and woody

I could be 1000% wrong in this but I remember hearing that England used to speak the same as Americans... But get this to sound like they are better than Americans they changed their pronunciation to sound better than the poorly Americans. Could be total crap not sure but there you have it lol. But the thought of a knight in old England sounding like a red neck could be quite funny lol

I went to Canada for about an hour and a half, and I went to Thailand back in 2001. I highly recommend Thailand. The people are really nuice.

As an American I can confirm that eggnog is nasty

Here is my argument: most of the letters rhyme with Zee (b,c,d,e,g,p,t,v) and none of the rhyme with zed

Monday Morning QB has isnt really used that much anymore as less people give a shit about sportsball. Thanks to South Park..of all things...most people say "Captain Hindsight" now I've never heard "Bye, Felica" in my life other than Friday

Did you never think to question these people, look it up when you were older? Were these people from the states or brits who surmised the US was like they thought and you bought it hook line and sinker? Even though they've never been here. Wow! With so much intelligence over there you would think they made the first computer, created special effects, they probably think they were on the Moon too.

I’ve had one. I love it.

I like raccoons and I’m American because they are cute. Their eyes are like my husky’s so

In the small town on the prairies where my grandparents lived, the cooing of mourning doves was the most typical sound we hear. Even to this day, the sound of mourning doves sound like home to me.

Don't forget the Zee paper company, makers of the cheapest paper goods the 1970s-1980s America had to offer! 😆👍🏼

Back around 1930, when my mother was about 10, she had a pet coyote (verified by Kodak snaps). The family lived on a farm on the prairies in northern-eastern Nebraska. Don't know the full story of Ky-yi.

It is a great bird...personally i would have gone with the Great Horned Owl as the national symbol, or the buffalo, but the eagle is nice too

So when i was a young man still living at home in Rural Georgia, we had an indoor/outdoor cat, a Persian. We had 4 acres of land, mostly woods. Well one night a Coyote figures that cat is next meal...what it didnt count on was our large German Shepard who loved that cat..and wasnt too fond of a predator in HIS yard. We could hear the barking, snarling and the fighting from the house, my father quickly ran out with the shotgun...but he didnt need it. Old Max took that Coyote apart in less than a min. Max was covered in blood, none of it his. We had the vet check him and give him a rabies booster the next AM just in case. The entire time of the fight, the cat was watching from the porch...i dunno what black magic that cat had to tell Max what was going on, but he knew.. Max got a big steak for dinner the next day, and the Persian was now an inside only cat after that. That cat was my moms pet, a little too snooty for us, but she loved that cat. Max, on the other hand, was my best boi. I miss him to this day. His big ears and big old snoot. Id give anything to give him and his grey mustache a hug again.

Ah the Trash Panda. The American trickster. Yes they can be pests, and they can carry rabies, on the other hand they can be incredibly charming very intelligent and lets face it, they are cute. Opinions on them can be based on regions, in the south they are hunted but also kept as pets. This is also common in the Midwest, as my father had a pet one as a child which he adored and has wanted another one for decades.

There were yellow school buses in Cheadle Hulme/Bramhall Cheshire when I visited my ex-husband's family in 2015. It may have changed since you left, or vary by region.

This music is just wonderful!

Didn't care

I feel like in America, when you look at our word usage you are not only going by region, but like, "back in historical time" depending on how and when the word came to the region and how isolated the region was.

Then again you could say "Bring to the table" or "Put on the table" to mean the british version but if it's tabled us muricans are considering that matter closed, only unless if it's under the table than that's a matter to be discussed privately

As an American, I can assure you, I love raccoons.

You are allowed to not tip for crappy service,don't let them bully you.

I would pronounce sceptic as s-cep-tic.

Brits don't seem to like cinnamon,so guess cinnamon rolls are off your list.Then again Brits like Marmite on toast,so who's crazier? LOL.Hopefully by now you have tried Blueberry Pie.

I didn't know the bathroom door gap was a problem until Europeans brought it out. Do you realize where you'd have to stand to look in there. It would be obvious to everybody. Must be a personal space issue?

Yes in Texas you can bake your brain watching your kids play Soccer in 100 degree plus summer weather,then take them to Dairy Queen for ice cream and A/C.Window screens are to prevent malaria,though we have pretty much controlled that.

I dont know if this is inteded but there is an awesome follow up to "bye Felicia" They will probably ask "who is Felicia" And the perfect response is "exactly" then you walk away

Lol I live on a sailboat and there is a raccoon that comes to my boat in the marina every night to harass me. It can smell my dogs food I guess. Its adorable but annoying and persistent af.

I understood absolutely NIL in this video. ;>)

I move out of large city with a coyote pack in the neighborhood, out a nearby rural area with no coyotes. The ranchers and farmers around do not give them break.

You need to take class into account here. Upper middle class people generally are more chatty than blue collar types.

In Texas & New Mexico they call them CO-YO-teh.

If you hate usa so much hey get the fuck outta here then
