A guy went viral on TikTok after running around asking his American girlfriend to name the British things they spot.
Ben Reid, a creator with 1.4 million followers on the app, asked his girlfriend to name a letterbox, cricket, and Big Ben in a collection of clips from their day out.
In the video, which garnered more than 96,000 likes, @itsbenreid is behind the camera asking his girlfriend questions about various traditionally British things they see while out and about in London.
First, she is asked to share what she believes is a real red letterbox, to which she replies “fire hydrant”.

In the next clip of the compilation, the couple are watching some locals playing cricket, but they thought it was badminton because it’s “softball with a paddle”.
The latter shows the couple walking by Big Ben, a landmark she recognizes immediately, but not for why the Brits do.
He said, “Oh my God honey, that’s what they fly around in Peter Pan.”
Even though she’s right about the last one that appeared in the Disney animated classic, she still left the Brits in TikTok’s comments hysterically as they believe she needs to be educated about the UK.
One user commented, “Dude, she’s too pretty, don’t stop making these buds, she’s learning so much.”
Another added: “Are you here to raise your education? I suggest middle school ”.
A third joked: “You can enter the Peter Pan tower if you tell them you believe in fairies.”

A fourth said, “It’s so funny, I can’t.”
Other people from abroad have come to his defense in the comments as they claim they would have thought the same thing.
One user wrote: “I am from Canada and would have thought it was also a fire hydrant.”
Another added, “Anyone who tells this isn’t real, as an American, I can tell you it’s perfect.”
