    I was looking through Youtube the other day and found several videos on how to be, say, Irish, in three-easy-steps. I only thought some of them were funny, while the others were just dumb. The videos cover most of everyone's nationality here on the fourm; so I thought I should go ahead post them up, just for fun (there wasn't one on how to be Norwegian, Skaara :(). Now, this isn't here to offend anyone; they're just stereotypes, which only depict (usually) a very poor judgement of one someone, from a country, just because of one guy who left a poor, lasting, impression on someone else's mind. If there is one in particular that someone feels that should be removed, or if this is going against forum rules, I'll gladly remove them. :) Enjoy.

    Not bad, though I wish they showed a bit more varied stereotypes as there's plenty to pick from. :)

    @Komodo: I gotta say, having a bear as the national animal is pretty badass.

    @Bamul: Yeah, I know. I looked around for some more, but I couldn't find any others that were that good. Most of them were just an assortment of videos, mashed together, about people falling over or doing something stupid and given the title "Only in America," "Only in Russian," "Only in Poland," Only in Norway," type of stuff. I didn't see much stereotyping in there.

    @Skaara: That and the Russian ones were my favorite.

    How to be Kiwi:

    Eat fish n chips on a regular basis (twice weekly is preferable)
    Say 'Eh' at the end of every sentence
    Have an accent women all around the world love (God knows why lol)

    Would you say "Eh," twice, when your using "Eh" as a question? Like, if you don't understand someone and you go "Eh?" would you go "Eh? Eh."

    Nah, eh, though you can say eh multiple times in a sentence, eh?

    We say 'Yeah nah' too. It drives foreigners crazy, but makes perfect sense to us :p

    lol

    and "yeah, nah" makes sense. There's something similar to that, in Spanish, used over here...."Si, no." I guess it's quite redundant to ask a question, within a question, but it works because it compliments/eliminates the previous question. :p

    Ahahaha you made me laugh. It's true, it basically means 'No, not interested' or 'Yeah, I think that's bullsh**, so no' :p

    I feel this is somewhat relevant to this thread:

    [YOUTUBE]?v=MkiFCVBIV2c[/YOUTUBE]

    A funny video that shouldn't be taken seriously, but of course judging by the comments and opinions about it, everyone seems to be taking it seriously... which makes it all the more entertaining.

    Old but gold. :)

    Vujanić did a bunch of similar ones after that:

    The last one is the weakest in my opinion, but they're all ok.

    LoL :lol:

    I agree: the last one does have the weaker tone; however, I prefer the last one over the second one. It's easier on my ears and it doesn't have –in what I consider an annoying voice- the equalizer (I believe that is what it is called) robot sound. Not that I don't like robot voices –I think they go well in other things- but I thought it was poorly utilized in the Squat Song.

    There is also a "Christmas tree tutorial" that is in the Eastern European style:

    Nuclear, I think it was you who introduced me to this Russian Estonian guy running a funny/gaming channel on YouTube. I looked up some more of his stuff and it's pretty hilarious. This one might not be as funny if you don't understand any Polish, but it was quite nice for me - plus he's actually pretty good at pronouncing some of the more common stuff there:

    Haha, yes, Life of Boris :D I love that channel.

    I've seen the video before and it's absolutely hilarious!! Are actually some of the words he tried pronouncing in there real? Because a few of them were over 30 letter long.

    Also, Boris has a thing for eating Polish Mayonnaise. He claims that it is the best in the world ;)

    Most of them are real and can be used in everyday situations (swear words, insults, praise for Boris, etc.), some of them feature tongue-twisters and a few are just difficult to pronounce words placed in sentences that together make no sense. "Wyrewolwerowany" is a fairly popular tongue-twister, but it's actually not a proper word you could find in a dictionary. Similarly, "konstantynopolitańczykowianeczka" (roughly meaning: young female resident of Constantinople) was created as a tongue-twister, but you may find it in a dictionary. The absurdly long one is related to chemistry and I'm not 100% sure if it is real - part of it could be, though it's certainly not something you'd hear everyday (or ever for most people) unless you're a chemist. All of the other words are quite common, some are just arranged in ways that make them slightly more difficult order to pronounce. :p

    Really?! Wow, that is crazy. Some of the words look like a jumble letters, as if someone was rapidly typing on an instant-messaging chat, all crazy N' stuff, and hit enter...Something like this:

    alkdfjaklsdfj liwerieuowkl;avv lkjeoriioerallhnrurstu

    And I always thought Suka was Russian....Or is it just a common word used in both languages? (just wondering if you happen to know)
