Seriously, watching Daniel Day Lewis in this video makes it painfully obvious that not only are Brits and Irish smarter than we Americans but we think they’re smarter and we treat them like royalty. Check out this interview with Day Lewis and how the reporters are almost afraid to ask him questions regular folk might be interested in hearing. Come on America! We’re not dumber than Europeans! We really arent. Are we? Maybe we are. Oh god, maybe we are.

LOL, Nick. No doubt about it, Helen Mirren and DDL are both class acts.
And she looked stunning on the Red Carpet. We should all look that good when we get to be her age.
Americans are the dumbest people on planet Earth. Naaaaaat!!!!
The British/Irish are just super smart, they just make everyone else look and think they are stupid. It is one of their many super human attributes.
The British speak better than Americans, sorry but it is true. Helen Mirren – every time she opens her mouth something uber-intelligent and audible rolls off her tongue like magic, same with DDL. Maybe it is just my opinion though.
I watched the interview and saw nothing to suggest anything other that DDL is a very intelligent well spoken gent. Nothing that made me think oh gee Americans are really dumb – too much was read into this.
I’m an Aussie and of course we are the best and most intelligent country on the planet!!! LOL!!!
‘Please. Who started the god awful reality tv craze? Who watches garbage like Little Britain and The Catherine Tate Show? Who has produced exactly one excellent tv show (The Office) in god knows how long?’
TO be fair, there’s just as many horrible American T.V. shows that can be held up against the likes of Little Britain. And in recent years there has been a great number of excellent tv shows coming out of Britain – the revamped Dr. Who, The IT Crowd, Blackpool, Casanova, Life On Mars, State Of Play, QI, The League Of Gentlemen, Funland, Bloody Sunday, 15 Storeys High, Peep Show, The Second Coming, Black Books, The Long Firm, The Thick Of It, Help, Stephen Fry’s documentary shows on AIDS and Manic Depression… You can’t take bad British shows, line them up against good American shows and use it to try and win some bizarre game of cultural supremacy. There’s great art produced all over the world. Why do people feel the need to try and “beat” another country in something as juvenile as who has the best t.v. show?
I think the observations on the original article reveal far more than the video. I saw no fear on the part of the interviewers but just a good natured Q&A.
Thank you, Eli. Those are some of the wisest words in these comments.
wow, can we generalize a little more. Unfortunately, dumb asses are spread throughout the world.
americans are not dumb! just ask miss teen usa from south carolina!

Brian Says:
“As a point of passing interest, the population of the US is five times that of Britain and the whole of the land area of the country would fit comfortably into Oregon.
Does this make you smarter than them?
Russia: 17.075.400 km²
US: 9.830.630 km²
You can comfortably fit the US population TWICE (at least) into Russia.
i though maybe we are, but now that cotillard won, we’re not!
The UK does have a better health care system. The life expectancy is actually higher in the UK than the US. However, what is the deal with its dentistry?
There is no need for Americans to be alarmed. I can assure you that Britain has, at least, its fair share of morons. The difference could be that the majority of our most successful actors are highly educated, classically trained and with a lot of theatre experience. Most are the product of a handful of superb drama schools such as the Central School of Speech and Drama, London Academy of Music and Drama (LAMDA) and Royal Academy of Music and Drama (RADA) – which only takes about 40 students a year. Check out their websites for lists of alumni or take a few names (Tom Wilkinson, Tilda Swinton, Alan Rickman, Julie Christie, or anyone in a Harry Potter movie) and look up their biographies on IMDB.
Additionally, many have spent time with the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) or the National Theatre.
Just to underline the point, the two corporals in Atonement, Daniel Mays (RADA) and Nonso Anozie (Central), who barely gets to say anything, are both noted Shakespearian actors.
As a point of passing interest, the population of the US is five times that of Britain and the whole of the land area of the country would fit comfortably into Oregon.
[quote] Americans created The Wire [/quote]
and the debate ends there.
Nothing in recent European television , cinema or literature has come remotely close to the genius of the wire.
and the funny thing is that this year the european winners also made it felt specifically that they were non-americans. javier’s speech in spanish, swinton’s acknoledgent that she would never have worked in america, cotillard’s french accent withbroken english, and day-lewis praising his typically british heritage…..
Americans will start to get smart again after George Bush leaves office. That man just dumbed down the entire planet. Listening to him speak for nearly eight years has slowed the growth of my intelligence.
Also, I didn’t see anything to suggest we think they’re smarter or that DDL himself is brilliant. If I were speaking to one of the greatest actors of our generation I would be a little hesitant as well, but I didn’t see any indications of differences in intelligence.
Shallow entertainment on TV?
Please. Who started the god awful reality tv craze? Who watches garbage like Little Britain and The Catherine Tate Show? Who has produced exactly one excellent tv show (The Office) in god knows how long?
Americans created The Wire, The Sopranos, The West Wing, Seinfeld, and many other brilliant shows.
But hey, thank you Europe for Survivor and Big Brother.
Why not also compare American universities to European. It’s no contest.
“Come on America! We’re not dumber than Europeans! We really arent. Are we? Maybe we are. Oh god, maybe we are.”
-Haha, that was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. There are a lot of brilliant people in the States, but alas, as a whole (see 00 & 04 elections), we do have a lot of morons here too. And yes Andre, we do have the dumbest Prez in the world. This is not debatable anymore at this point. But it’s fine; it’ll change soon enough.
All the hoopla about milkshakes just serves to prove how many people have taken in the comedic elements of that scene.
What is more amusing is watching its detractors use it as a example of “all there is to the movie.” Ridiculous.
As a Brit who spent a few years in America, I know there exists no difference in raw intelligence levels. America’s problem seems to be poor education standards along with shallow entertainment on TV. The broadcast media in European countries know they have a duty to educate and enlighten the public. American channels are only interested in chasing ratings, and studio bosses should be given the blame for this failure.
Yves: FYI, the U.K. IS actually the 4th-largest economy in the world. However, I would agree with you that it is not “the world power”. It was once, but most Brits are very happy not to wear that mantle any longer. Size and strength do not equal intelligence. Nor do they equal happiness, apparently.
Wow, Yves is unto something. *rolleyes*

At least we are are not as ugly as them and if we are so dumb why is the U.K. hardly considered the world power?
Yes, it’s a fact americans are quite dim. When the rest of the world laugh at your comedies,we’re not laughing with you……….
Yes, you are. You have the dumbest President in the world. Period.
I have a few British friends (or ‘mates’) so I end up using a lot of their lingo, because I just like it. The term “taking the piss” is one of my favorites, but my wife absolutely hates it.
So when we were watching this interview on the television (sorry, telly) and he blurted it out, I just looked at her with a crooked smile. Maybe it’ll be OK to say it around the house now. 🙂
And yes, I think we have a ways to go as a society. How vapid we’ve all become as a whole.
…unfortunely yes you are 😉
wow, we are STUPID!
