Do Americans get amusing documentaries about the British?

Here in the UK we get some funny documentaries featuring Americans. Many are about obese people, fast food, guns etc. Just wondering what televisual treats you might get about the British? Do they conform to the stereotypes usually given to us?

Just so you know I have lovely straight white teeth but I am sat here drinking a lovely cup of Earl Grey tea!

Update:

No Alex, no stereotypes about the Australians. Now you try and remember which relative it was that was sent there as a criminal and I'll go get you another weak lager.

    Ads and documenteries say you have unstriaght large teeth, don't shower, have tattoos of the queen on your *** and drink warm beer.

    EDIT: Oh, and yes, "would you like an earl grey dear.."

    EDIT: Bahahah, okay, but none of my relatives are criminals. They mostly came here from England and Ireland during gold rush and stuff. The people with criminal backgrounds we call "bogans". Little history lesson there

    Source(s): Australia :D Of course, we don't have a stereotype..

    Usually they're smelly people in old fashion clothes with ugly rotten teeth and a stuck up, annoying accent.

    Just so you know I'm perfect weight, own no guns, and graduated last year on honor roll!
