67 people.  No kids allowed.  That explains where there's not a bunch of barefoot kids in diapers running around.
I think they should at least have the kids toys all over the yards.

They looked real. Had a couple of guys helping folks. One guy had an AK that looked like the real thing. What are the gun laws like over there?

ETA:  

Self-defense reason, while allowed, requires a proof of threat to life, health or property and is rarely allowed. Antique firearms or their replicas and some air guns are available without a permit. With approximately 2.5 civilian firearms per 100 people, Poland is the 166th most armed country in the world.

They couldn't find at least ONE rusted out car?  No tires as part of lawn decorations? (I inherited tractor tire lawn planters from a previous resident once).

I think its hilarious that a mild depiction of an Ohio trailer park was an adult-only event.

What other countries are told is "American"


Faux Americana is a thing in Europe and Japan. Don't be pissed about it. Enjoy it.... we have such a cultural outreach that they lampoon us for fun. You don't see shitty places being lampooned. Last I checked, there aren't folks LARPing what it is like to be in Haiti or someone hosting a "Democratic Republic of the Congo Party."

I work with a bunch of folks in different european countries.  They like to send me pictures of the "american food" section of their grocery stores.

They do at least get the name brand stuff.  But its just a hodgepodge of random crap you'd find in the US.
There was one dude who said his favorite part about coming to the US was the ranch dressing.  They just dont get it where he's from.   One of my guys in norway confirmed that he can get ken's brand ranch dressing which is what we have here, but its like 4x the cost.

Another thing they like from here is our creative insults.  I guess the culture here is more creative when shitting on somebody else, as can be witnessed by scrolling through GD.

Somehow the red solo cup have become instantly recognizable US stereotypes.  Even though they aren't that insanely popular here.  They are used in a lot of movies and TV to show generic "this is alcohol" drinks while not having to pay any royalties to any specific brand.  So oversees, they will have american themed parties, where having the red solo cups is a very top requirement.

The Poles obviously are not up to date on rednecking.

I didn't see no pickup trucks in the pictures. No pickup trucks mean there are no trucks with tarps in the back, filled with water for hot days. They need to have at least one redneck swimming pool!

Our creative ways of insulting people is because we're the crossroads of immigration. So many people came here from elsewhere, that we mixed the best insults and made 'em better.

When I was in Krakow in 2018, there was a food truck festival at an upscale shopping mall and a lot of poles were dressed in pinup/rockabilly and were dancing to the American music being played. Poles love America and love dressing up and dressing well.

Good point about shitty places not being emulated or lampooned.

One point about the video though; fried chicken is most definitely served alongside ham for Christmas dinner throughout the south. I wouldn’t expect the Canadian sounding YouTube guy to know that however.
