‘We have the Florida man’: TikTok users debate who would win in a fight between 100 Americans and 100 Brits

Now that the “100 men vs. one gorilla” debate has been settled, a new question is circulating on social media: Who would win, 100 Americans or 100 Brits?

British creator @2mwad_ first posed the question on TikTok: “I got a new one, 100 British people versus 100 Americans. One big room, no weapons, who’s winning?” The video has since gained over a million views, succeeding in uniting both nations against a common, historical rival.

The patriotism sparked in the comments section is truly something to behold. “Our president is a felon who you think is winning,” one American wrote. “Do they have the Britain man? We have the Florida man,” another added. A third chimed in, “100 British people vs one Waffle House shift.”

But the Brits weren’t going down without a fight, and if there’s one thing British people do best, it’s getting under Americans’ skin. “British people 100%,” one wrote. “Don’t get me started. I might start sounding patriotic,” added another.

In a follow-up video, the creator made the hypothetical brawl more specific. He said the British side would include groups of 20 from Birmingham, London, Manchester, Nottingham, and Liverpool. For the Americans, the fighters would be drafted from Louisiana, L.A., New York, and Chicago. (For what it’s worth, as a Brit, my money is on the Americans.)

“There’s something so uniquely special about being American because our country can be in complete shambles . . . but as soon as someone tries to attack America, we are all patriotic,” said creator @adivunsolicited in a video with 1.2 million views. “The only people Americans are scared or intimidated by are other Americans,” he added.

TikTok creator Keara Sullivan posted her ideal American lineup: two people from Appalachia, two Floridians with criminal records, two blue-collar workers from Boston, one drunk Eagles fan born and raised in Philadelphia, and one Waffle House employee from any state.

On the British side, TikToker Max Baledge pushed back: “Guys, you would not be allowed guns. I’d like to see all of those people have a bare knuckle bash with someone from Newcastle.”

One commenter replied: “We already did this—we celebrate it on July 4th.”
