Iceland.... Is Iceland portrayed in any media as something? As far as I know the most we get is a slight mention, and nothing more.

I'm also Polish.

People think we're stupid or weak because of world war 2.

Not in Denmark.. Here we believe you are stupid and/or weak because Polish criminals often comes here to steal everything that ain't chained down :p
.. But not everyone who come here does so to steal.. Some also come here and force Danes out of their jobs, as they are, because of EU regulations, able to work way cheaper than Danish workers. D-:
Gotta agree with this. I remember my vacations 2 years ago, when me and my friends had a trip to Bornholm. I still remember how shocked I was to see you guys not chaining your bikes before leaving them alone on the pavement. In Poland, I would give it 10 minutes max before an 'owner swap'. Sad but true, there is a lot of theft here.

"Do you know, why Russian smugglers always steal 2 identical cars in Germany before transporting them back to their country?

Because, they'll lose one of them in Poland anyway."

Let's see...

I'm originally from Minnesota, which means I must be a lutefisk-eating, fishing-obsessed Scandinavian wit' dat dere accent from Fargo (which is in North Dakota) doncha know? That, or a living, breathing Ole and Lena joke. Yah sure, you betcha!

My family is German, which can be summed up in one word: Nazis.

And with my current location, Japan, there are just too many to mention, and they are all wrong.
Apparently you guys have vikings too.

hmm, how did Yahtzee say it? something like "...Americas like a smelly old gorilla that stinks up your house and mauls you to death every time you try to give it free health care."

Netherlands calls in . As some fellow Dutch already pointed out: We're usually portrayed as either weedsmokers who visit the Red Lights or farmers on wooden clogs in a big tulip field.

The U.S.: Either the Übermenschen, Fat & Stupid(but nice) Tourists, or Evil Assholes.

I think we're a mix between the 3.

North Carolinians: ...Not sure, but I'm guessing from what I've tried searching: We love barbeque and smoking anything that has tobacco(like it's a vegetable to us).

australia - weirdly accented, persistantly drunken loons constantly avoiding danger from innumerable species of deadly, deadly animals that roam our streets like they own the damn place... and depending on where you live, it's mostly true

I'm American, do I need to go further? I am proud of my country, but we all know the American stereotype, fat, lazy, angry, dominant, rude, etc. but I am actully a skinny, lazy, laid back, caring, polite person.

I think the only non-American film I've seen that had an American stereotype was In Bruges, where an American couple was fat and obnoxious.

There was a little twist to this though:
They turned out to be Canadian. The main characters assumed they were American because they were fat and obnoxious.
They weren't fat(from what I can remember). They were just obnoxious. And loud, too.

Croatia and like all the Slavs we are viewed as backwards, genocidal, mafia type people that live in the mountains and eat raw meat.
But don't forget! "In heaven, the shooters are Croatian!"

Besides from making one game and the above already mentioned stereotypes, I don't think we've been displayed often. We maybe end up being mentioned only as a part of Yugoslavia (that doesn't exist for the last 20 years, but people somehow tend to forget that).

i'm from central valley of california, you know, that long strip that makes up like 60 percent of the state? anyways, representation of people from theredoesn' really happen, it's either san francisco surfer dudes, or los angeles gangsters that ever get featured in the media, oh, or if you watch right wing news, hippies and gays. there's so much more variety in california, every type of person in the world lives in my state, and consequently there is as much variety in personality as there is in color, but we get generalized in one of the 4 categories i listed above, AND NOTHING ELSE. But hey, i guess it's sort of a plus that george lucas is from my home town (or at the very least, filmed american grafiti there)

Sweden is full of sexually atractive blond chicks who speak with an German accent and alwys says "ja?" at the end of each sentence (altough we have the word "ja" which means yes and is pronounced almost as the begining of "ya'll"). Oh and it is snowing all the time here.
I've been to Sweden a couple of times, and I noticed the stereotype about the hot chicks to be very accurate. They're not all blondes though, granted.

I'm from Belgium. According to, I believe, Conan O'Brian, the only European country to never succesfully invade Belgium. This is true.

Then there's the thing about the great beer and chocolate. This is correct.

And there's the widespread belief that every other person is a pederast. This is also true.
