It's LittleRadge! He's awesome. And, as everyone says, looks like David Tennant. He's quite entertaining, though, I recommend his vlogs. =D
And I have to go, but I'll return with my stereotypes response later today.

Everytime I see a Scottish man on youtube he looks like David Tennant. So I am going to make a stereotype that all Scottish man look like David Tennant. xD

Scottish people look like david tennet? I can say that david does not look like your average scot. Still, it is a fun comparison.

The thing that I would've changed about the American's one, would have been using other Americans. I mean, there are different kinds of Americans. East-coast Americans, West-coast Americans, Southern Americans, Metro-Americans, Rural Americans.... the fabled Texan-American is just one kind. In fact, Texas I think should have broken off and became it's own country when it had the chance, and most of the Texans I've talked to feel that way. But the fat guy sitting on the couch with the remote... universal American. LOL!  |

Oh, and as a footnote... the Scottish dude looks like David Tennant. ;D Alot. As I think everyone agreed on an other thread some time ago, there are a surprising number of people out there who do. |

I agree.
I also agree with aldy in that not all Americans are alike. East coast is very different from the Midwest. VERY different. I should know.

Like Nick when we first brought him over here. "Woah... corn! REAL CORN!" XD |

Remember the first time we fed him a salad?
"Dude... you're eating LEAVES." XD

There is no excuse for not knowing what a salad is, no matter where you live.

True that.  Nick does need to get out a bit. One or two trips in the TARDIS would do him some good, I reckon. |

I thought Nick Courtney but that's not possible is it?
I was taken from NY State and transplanted to rural Illinois at age 12.

I thought the stereotypical Americans were, er, Westerners? ...Wow, spell-check didn't think that wasn't a word. I guess it's the right word, then.
Though I could just be being selfish, being a 'Westerner' myself.

It was strange when I came to realize that Brits thought we were all from Texas. It would never have occurred to an American that that would be the region they'd choose to use as the stereotype for us. UK TV cliched "American" characters are just so bizarre to watch....

I didn't really notice this until I tried to watch The Gunfighters or whatever that random One serial is called. O.o The accents... oh dear... |

Ah, the Gunfighters... ;D It's very true, though, the stereotypes that television encourages its audiences to believe in. The brash, loudmouthed Yank beloved of Brit TV (for some reason, I'm thinking of those secret agent men in Delta and the Bannermen), versus the England of vicars, friendly bobbies and cream teas taken while watching the village cricket match. The ironic thing is that Brit TV does a pretty good job of perpetuating some of the stereotypes around Britain - just watch one of those cosy Sunday night detective "dramas" that we seem to churn out by the dozen. Or better yet, don't. |

I was surprised when watching the UK film "Trainspotting" to find that that instead of the loudmouthed, rude, maybe even violent American stereotype, the Americans were oblivious mild-mannered suburbanites who looked on Edinburgh as a quaint touristy place in which to spend their tourist dollars, and were completely unprepared to get beaten up in a public rest room by a bunch of Scottish heroin addicts, for drug money! Now that's an American stereotype I can get behind! I live amongst those people!

Well, loudmouths are everywhere. Look at the father in Idiot's Lantern...

Note: There is SOME strong language in a few of these.
