3:44 Hendrik says "One glass is expensive already" but the subtitles say "One glass is six pence" (which also doesn't make sense since Germany uses the Euro)

Hendrik is literally the most stereotypical German you could’ve picked.
2:46 I want to say something to what Hendrik said here, it really depends where you live in Germany. In small villages you will often see flags from the specific state (region) the people live in for example the Schleswig-Holstein flag or Bavarian flag when you’re in Bavaria, as the regional (state) pride in Germany is much stronger than the national pride.

It wasn't subtitled but I love Hendrik's little "even though they come from Belgium" when talking about 'french' fries at 7:24 (which is true btw)

I'll tell you why we fly US flags everywhere. The USA is a very big country, made of 50 different states, filled with very diverse groups of people. Each state has its own flag, but the Stars & Stripes is the symbol we unite under. Just as our forefathers did under its earlier versions when they were just considered traitors to the British crown. We respect and take pride in it too, because it represents the values of freedom that were set in our constitution as well as all those that fought and died to protect and uphold them. The flag is interwoven emphatically with our creation myth, our veterans, and all those in military service. It's something that every American can identify with. It's meant for us, to remind us: that we are the United States of America; regardless of our differences or distance between whichever state we may call home, it was never meant to be boastful or tell others that we're better than them.

7:30 in the Netherlands it is different, we have a lot of different fried snacks(that you can also get outside of the Netherlands in popular dutch tourists areas/countries. Like Kaassoufle, Bitterballen, Kroket, Bamibal, Nasibal and obviously Frikandel but i gotta say almost everyone loves chicken nuggets(not everyone will take them because they prefer something else or they dont like to order it in a restaurant because fast food does have a kinda bad image fries are an exception) but chicken wings do good too. i do love my Kaassoufle in Saté sauce and my Kroket with Fritesaus or Mayonaise(they are different due to the restrictions on what can be called mayonaise) and dont try to argue with someone about patat or friet

I think the reason Germans don't wave their flag around a lot is because nationalism/patriotism was vilified after WW2 because of the Nazis. In Germany, a person waving their flag around is probably assumed to be someone ultra-nationalistic, but in America it's seen as a bit more normal. I've never been to Germany though so this is just my assumption.

As a German I can confirm Hendrik (his viewpoint, his way of speaking, his level of the English language,...) is very representative of the average German guy in your class. Amazing choice! 👌
