Conversely, however, no American criminal ever gets away with a crime, and all American police stations are filled with tens of millions of dollars of equipment that can find a miniscule case-breaking piece of forensics inside 12 hours.
American women come in two sizes: transparent and huge.
Those husbands cannot step into a kitchen without destroying it, and cannot prepare any meal more complicated than cereal. They will always burn toast.
No American has more than one friend of a different race or ethnicity (Truth in Television, that one.)
Sex in America is feast or famine - Americans either have copious amounts of fantastic sex, or none at all. No American uses birth control.
Or if they do, justice will be served when they get gunned down on the courthouse steps.
To be fair, a close study of UK TV would lead you to the same conclusions about Brits.
More importantly, the show dramatically demonstrates that it is not safe to drive around with your windows open; people will throw drugs into your car to get you in trouble and leave forbidden items in your trunk (boot, to furriners).
Also, Americans are all taught from an early age to be completely honest with law enforcement, as can be seen from the way they spontaneously declare to police officers “I’m not going to lie to you”.
American homes have no entry halls, you step directly into the living room from the street.
Said living rooms always have sofas positioned in the middle of the floor perpendicular to the wall where the door is.
And there is a amazingly high mortality rate during the last week before retirement.
And all cops work day and night. Sometimes for day after day. And no one seems to care about putting in for overtime.
I have also learned that a large percentage of Americans are actually British or Australian and pretending to be American.
To be fair that show is real. They shoot a tremedous amount of footage. 99% is boring and gets tossed.
Americans only have 4 to 5 friends each, one and only one of whom is a different color, and they hang out with each other at work, their homes and everywhere else all the time. Anyone else who interacts with one of us won’t last long.
Hey, we’ve finished the Johnson brief, now let’s all go to the local bar we always hang out at every single day. Later we will meet up at my apartment to discuss which of us will be sleeping with the other this week.
This one really bothers me. TV would have us believe that it’s possible to have a phone conversation at a nightclub, rock concert, or next to a jumbo jet. If I’m having a quiet walk in the woods, I won’t hear my phone ring.
American men have plaid bathrobes that actually match their plaid pajamas. More than one set, too! And they wear the matching bathrobe over the pajamas - even though they live in California.
(This is one that always makes we wonder. I’ve never even seen matching bathrobes and pajamas anywhere. Nor have I ever seen anyone wear such a combo, in real life - ever!)
You don’t say. :dubious:
It’s weird even on TV. Only Alan Harper wears it, and it’s to make him look a little nerdy and a little effeminate.
Every law enforcement team has exactly one Black person. He must be young, male, have a shaved head, and have some (at least implied) chemistry with a White female team member.
A Black female may be part of the team, but she must not be young or attractive. She must be earnest and mouthy.
All American cars are designed to explode as they run off the road.
And apparently Pasadena, CA (The Big Bang Theory).
If they don’t have a bar, they always have a good supply of wine on hand.
So does Dr. Sheldon Cooper!
Aha, two effeminate nerds on the same network!
Must not be a lot of single story ranch-style homes where you live. Or mobile homes either for that matter. I also know of a lot of older homes that have the front door opening directly into the living room. Both my grandmother’s houses were like that.
