The Brits’ scorn for us ’merkins is a façade an act. They love us to the moon and back. Everyone knows this. And who can blame them?

QUEEN Lizzy, if you don’t mind.

Well, his words will surely bring down the house!!!

Makes me glad that America is not a monarchy—no matter what “King” Trump tries to do about that!!

And here in the States we have a pretender who named/titled a son Baron.

Long live King Ralph!

I’m quite sure there are other words for it….

WAZZZUUUP! lol

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex is a vast improvement over Lord Zonker.

I was waiting for the ‘King Zonker’ movie but it was never made.

I’m no expert – and I read the media with a grain of salt – but it’s my impression that ’merikins as a culture are not particularly loved, admired, or respected around the world. And considering how we behave as a culture – no big surprise…

“Yo yo wassup Wales? House of Windsor keepin’ it real!” – Robin Williams, to Chuck and Cam.

You may not want to get too chummy with Andy, Zonk…

And with Lord Zonker’s assistance, Great Britain will be great…er.

Yep, Zonker nailed the intro. And he hasn’t been beheaded yet—so it’s “so far, so good.”

Bloody yanks…

My dad was stationed in Australia for a time during the war. Naturally, the Aussies called everyone in his unit ‘yanks’, but they couldn’t understand why some of the ’mericans got upset about this.

A few of them used phrases like ’y’all’…maybe that had something to do with it…?

It cracks me up to hear “American” played by someone on the BBC. The only one who ever really got it right was Hugh Laurie. Many people who saw him on “House” had no idea he was from the UK. Of course, Laurie had been a brilliant imitator since the days of “A Bit of Fry and Laurie” with Stephen Fry. His musical impersonations of various singing styles, including American folk and blues, were always dead on accurate.

In the UK, naturally, the quickest laugh is to hear an American trying to be “British”.

[SNIFF!] “He’s from… the Colonies.”

Winston Churchill was only half American and he never lived it down, though he spent a lot of time at Downing St.

Anyone else anxious to see how Andy is portrayed?

Carry on Zonker!

In addition to this,Zonker has invented a suit fabric that doesn’t stain or wear out.

Been to London 3 times in my life,.I saw the sun for a grand total of a day and a half out of 3 weeks

Zonker meets Higgins.

That’s Andy the Sexual Predator to you!

“No other word for it…American”. That just made me ROFL – and I’m a U.S. Citizen (American!) Of course, regardless of citizenship, Zonker is in a category all his own…
