The archived work is what first grabbed me, though their new stuff can also hit.

Lots of unnecessarily naked people, wtf, and fascist-baiting.

Unfortunately for me, I've never toured outside the country, yet it is quite easy for me to believe the American tourist stereotype. What you never hear about is Europeans' reactions to American tourists. A friend recently toured all of Europe, and the Danish and Italians are fine by them, yet curiously enough the French are real tourist snobs. Just thought you might want t'know.

I enjoyed that.

Thanks for posting the video.

Hvabaha?

Oh it appears the cowboy has been in Denmark, huh.

Ikke sandt!

Ja, but it's a tad thick with a rural-american accent.

Think of Brokeback Mountain crossed with a Ingmar Bergman. Maybe like Ennis (Heath Ledger's Character) saying:

Jeg hedder Hans!

and coming out:

Yi header Haaaaans.

And I was wondering if that chef at the end was going to jump over the counter and strangle him...

Seems like a nice hit at anti-American documentaries as well.

I like a lot... But where can I find the part 2 episode?

Rød grød med fucking fløde baby...

Best regards

Part two hasn't aired yet. I'll post it when it does air, and shouldn't that be med fucking fløde på baby . . .

Yes! (or: Ja!) Red Danish pudding with fresh California strawberries over a couple of slices of sand cake (shortcake) and a dollop of whipped crème…makes for good memories (without all the f**king around).

Ahhhh...Spring!


Wulffmorgenthaler rules as does k10k. the daily show aint too shabby either. is this the only way to comment on k10k's newsfeed links?

And I was wondering if that chef at the end was going to jump over the counter and strangle him...

I hear this a lot and I don't get it. I have been to France many times and I don't notice that. The last time that I went there during the freedom fries crap I expected to be treated poorly based on what other people said and ended up being pleasantly surprised. The French may not always have the most bubbly personalities, but I don't think that they are tourist snobs.
In fact, I don't think any of the Europeans have the kind of goofiness about them that us Americans do.

The average image of an American tourist (seen by a Dane, if anyone cares) would be a chubby, whitehaired male, aged 55-65, wearing sneakers and khaki shorts, and some kind of practical track suit vest. He'd be sporting a miniature digital VCR, pilot's sunglasses, and a gold watch. He's almost as amazed at every little detail as his curlyhaired wife, but gets really angry whenever anyone doesn't understand his special diet low-carb restaurant order, or brings a pack of cigarettes within 30 yards of him.

Something like that. I usually spot those before I hear them speak. But I guess that's predominantly visitors from Florida? ;)
