Elderly British Man Becomes TikTok Sensation After Hilariously Ripping New York City And Americans

Elderly British Man Becomes TikTok Sensation After Hilariously Ripping New York City And Americans

The man didn't have many nice things to say about his current residence when approached by TikToker @ericj3ng.

Sometimes when you ask questions, you get answers you may not like, but sometimes those answers are funny.

TikTokker Eric Jeng found this out quickly when he took his usual interview-on-the-street approach to an older British gentleman who was out and about in New York City.


Or rather, "New York Sh*tty,'' according to the gentleman, who then proceeded to hilariously rip into Americans and New York City.

What's wrong with Americans?

Well, nearly everything, according to this man, who mocked them for their lack of passports, boring travel destinations, and "nil" interest in other countries and peoples. He also took a moment to point out the flaws in New York City's street infrastructure while he was at it.

But then, oh, the twist.

"My wife," the man replied and grinned at the camera.

Reactions to this interview were quick to appear on the popular TikTokker's video as it went viral.

Here's hoping he finds things to like about his wife's home country.

Or at least more things to denigrate in such a hilarious manner.
