It's no secret that Americans do things a little differently from the rest of the world. But, as the first European colony to win independence, they've had lots of time to form the unique identity we associate with them today. So let's take a few moments to celebrate all the quirky and ridiculous little things that make the USA what it is, even if we still fail to understand them.
When the United States broke away from the rest of the European world in 1783 following the American Revolutionary War, a cultural shift began that is still developing today. Though the lands we now know as America mostly share a history of British occupation, tea and crumpets have long been replaced by coffee and donuts. America has given the world countless gifts, such as rock music, groundbreaking cinema, and New York City - in fact, it's probably the most culturally recognizable place on Earth. Still, for those of us on the outside looking in, the United States sometimes seems like a bit of a circus.
Scroll down to see some of America's funniest moments on Tumblr and how the rest of the world reacted. Don't take it personally, though - we've still got love for Yankee Land! (h/t)

At 18 you can be married, drive a car, go into huge debt, vote, and die for your country but you're not responsible enough to buy beer. *Face Palm*

I thought "Anything...fried" was the national dish of Scotland? I had a fried mars bar there. It was AWESOME.

It's flavored batter, so it's basically little Coke or other liquid-flavored dough balls.

I was literally reading this with my mouth open, I can't seem to shut it, I'm too flabberghasted. (I do remember being in Maryland however, and going to this fish restaurant, and I got the only thing on the menu that wasn't fried, the salmon sandwich. So this shouldn't have come as a surprise.)

Just to note, Fried Butter is a Canadian invention, sadly enough. Thanks CNE!

You can always count on some Americans believing, still, that this is the best USA #1 country in the world and getting upset when someone dares to believe otherwise.

Easily half of the U.S. agrees with you, Hayley. Unfortunately, the lower the IQ here, the more vocal they are, and the more convinced that they are always right, and everyone who disagrees is wrong.

I'm sorry, maybe I missed something important, but how did the comments zone in a post about a website "roasting" Americans turn into a war zone? I mean, it's meant to be funny, and not a political thing. If you're offended, chances are you're pretty fired up about politics right now. So please, take your angry energy elsewhere. Thanks.

That one moment someone calls you a Brit because you don’t act like an American. Anyway, this is unfortunately true for 98% of Americans at least. People get so strung up on the “America First” ideology and believe that it’s the best country ever. Canada, taking into consideration how pacifistic the country seems to be, has beaten the US in combat before. That speaks volumes. The US never was and frankly will probably never be the best.

I love this post.... But when these ignorant SOB's who don't even know what the Alamo is and thinks they mean alimony... JESUS F*****G CHRIST!!! No wonder the world laughs at us. I suck at math, but I know who fought in the American Civil War, hell, a kid in France knows who fought in the American civil war. IT WAS OURSELVES for those of you scratching you heads. I know I just pissed a s**t load of you off. GOOD!! AND NO, the siege of the Alamo was not during the Civil War. Know who John Wayne is? Look it up. I'm a 34 year old heterosexual female. Suck it!!!!
