I couldn't help but laugh when I watched this sketch. This sketch definitely embodies what other countries think about America. The fact that the song only consisted of the words 'America' and 'the states' says it all. Other countries see us as self-absorbed and conceited. The song is making fun of America and that is why the audience found it so funny. The American singer is portrayed as grungy. The British see America as unproper. The ending was representative of other countries wanting to shut us up because we like to sing our own praises all the time.
I did not take offense to this video. Plently of countries make fun of America for being full of themselves. America makes fun of other countries too. I think we just need to take this video for what it's worth-a good laugh.
