No, you're thinking of the Couple in the Restaurant that was complaining about Collin Farrel's smoking.Soylent Bacon said:zHellas said:They weren't fat(from what I can remember). They were just obnoxious. And loud, too.Soylent Bacon said: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.Huh. Turns out they were not only really fat, but also not as obnoxious as I remembered. I guess I remembered the "SCREW YOU ************," and not the fact that they were provoked. Still, I guess it didn't take much to get the American guy to start throwing punches.
I think the only Icelandic person people in general recognize is Björk, so a lot of people probably think you are all crazy.RanD00M said: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.
What is this, we're also known for Sigur Ros. So, I guess Iceland is know for strange, and bad music. That's just great.MagnusShalefist said:I think the only Icelandic person people in general recognize is Björk, so a lot of people probably think you are all crazy.RanD00M said:Iceland....

Personally I like Iceland, despite never having been there.
No we just think you must be frikking mental considering if you have the same drinking mentality as us (I actually thought Sweden had it worse). We have had the record for most alcohol consumed pr young citizen a year for several years now and most of us are damn proud about it, strangely enough :Sdark-amon said:Norway, we usually have the stereotype of beeing passive and always working for world peace. However in recent years Israel have tried to accuse us tenfolds of times that we are an antisemite racist people since the number of norwegians now supporting the occupation of Gaza is a decreasing minority. Why do I mention this? Because it seems that many(specially americans, sorry but that's what the numbers say)belive them. So now we will have 2 sterotypes: Passive peaceloving hippies, and the 4th reich.
I like the stereotypes it seems the danes have of us, they think everyones freakin' rich because our beer's so expensive.
District 9 more than makes up for that!Anti Nudist Cupcake said:South Africa, as a country with nothing but tribes, wild animals, huts and grass, when there are CITIES here.
Athens was a city-state, not a kingdom. And somehow I doubt "all free (upper class) men" constituted the bulk of population either.erto101 said:Sorry dude not true. First democracy was Athens and that was a shitty long time ago. And it was more of a democracy than the first polish which was a "Golden Liberty" which means that only nobles (10% of the polish commonwealth) can participateAnarchy In Detroit said:I'm also Polish.
First European kingdom with any democratic elements in their government? Us.
And do not forget that we are allways neutral.Simulated Eon said: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.
You got it.higgs20 said:Switzerland?gamerguy473 said:A bunch of fat racist rednecks driving SUV's and own 20 guns.
You can hazard a guess of which country I'm talking about.
