Nah... I'm central European and that is not even close. Maybe for Europeans living near low cost turist atrections? Where I live English are maybe seen a bit posh, thinking thay are too special to be EU, decendents of big bed imperialist and such. While the scots are seen as trying to cosplay scandinavian. And I'm sorry to say we do not have any stereotype for the Welsh and Northern Irish whatsoever.
So like... The US of Europe?
Almost, they know how to queue.
What Brits actually look like
It is the same guy though. What a proper suit can do to a person.
If you can do a reasonably standard English accent, Americans will mentally add 20 IQ points to how intelligent they perceive you to be.
I once met a woman that was in her late 20s. Worked in tech for 3 years in Prague, and had a pretty TV style British accent.
She was from the Midwest. Spent 3 years in Prague and visited the UK like 3 times, then moved back to Chicago. Insisted she "worked with a lot of Brits and it just stuck."
Yeah, I've worked with a lot of tall people. Didn't make me grow taller.
Yeah, I’ve worked with a lot of tall people. Didn’t make me grow taller.
You should have worked with small people. That works better.

Why are there so many pictures of the specific guy on the bottom used when making fun of the UK? Is he a celebrity or influencer I'm unaware of?
Nah. That's just you seeing a bunch of different people while thinking all Brits look alike.

I see them as the conquerors of Ireland and the villans in the majority of global conflicts.
