I think you can just listen to our wonderful President Dubya speak and you can hear about the dumbest things Americans can say.
I didn't vote for him. :(
Don't forget though, not all Americans are as clueless as your stereotypical "yank." There are some of us who realize there are other nations out there and that our country is heading in the wrong direction. :(

Almost everything George w Bush has said. I once heard an American say that the English don't speak English properly!
It is a misconception that all the people from America are dumb but this is not an English or British misconception, most of the rest of the world shares it and it didn't help reelecting him after he was elected by the supreme court first time round

Somebody on here the other day said that Europeans were stupid because they couldn't write English without making mistakes, at that point I explained that Britain and Ireland are the only two countries in Europe that speak English as a first language. I think he thought Europe was England or something stupid like that.

Some Yanks from a supply ship(to Iraq)anchored off Devon we're in the pub.One of them mentioned a relative of he's left where we
we're, for the Normandy landings and did we know he's English mate.We laughed.Three days
later he was back in the pub having a drink with
some old guys.One of them was the guy he'd asked about.He'd contacted the relative and told
him he was where he was stationed,got more
info and contacted services to find if he was alive.They contacted the guy to see if he wanted to meet and did.It was
nice,as we're the Yanks,who like us.Hated a beer.

Okay, I get that you guys think its absolutley hilarious to make fun of Americans, but really you need to stop being so narrow minded and to practice what you preach. Categorizing an entire nation on what a few "Yanks", as you so "eloquently" stated, is predjudice and wrong.
Oh and by the way, the stupidest thing I've ever heard a BRIT say, is that they didn't know America fought a war with England.

Speaking as an English person, I hardly think that we are in a position to say that Americans are dumb, when the majority of the English population think that it is clever and fun to go out and get as drunk as they can every weekend.
You have to remember the size of America...Britain is about the same size as California, this is why their perception of England is that we are small and their misunderstanding of the difference between Britain and England is understandable, we cant even agree amongst ourselves, whether we are British, English or European!!!!

well, i'm english, so i'm not just automatically on the side of the americans, but in their defence, i think that u can find dumb people all over the world. the reason why british people perceive the vast majority of americans to be dumb is because of the huge amount of media attention that their country gets. stories about nice americans do not sell as many newspapers as stories about dumb americans..... and the same goes for tv - u always hear about the negative things..... in my opinion, people are dumb, not entire nations........ although i do admit that they have a really bad figure head, george bush is hardly a great advertisement for the USA.....

Come on, they are our friends so let's stop winding them up. I'm bored with annoying yanks, theyre too easy!!
I have one American colleague whose son was in the national guard, in Iraq. I was amazed that he didn't really know where Iraq actually WAS, and thought that it had a border with North Korea, and that the "war" had somehow spilled over into North Korea!!
I also have an American colleague who thinks that every word in the Bible is true, and that the book of Revelations is a prophesy of what the future will be.
I could go on.......

I sent him on the next plane home. he didn't have a clue!, poor lad.
