    Pro-tip America: this is how you make fun of us Europeans.

    You don’t just use a lazy stereotype of an entire continent.

    You use a wide array of even more offensive stereotypes of specific individual countries.

    Also: IRC Club Vandersexx is in Amsterdam but Lucy Lawless sounds more like she’s speaking German, meanwhile the road signs in Germany are in Dutch, and the truck driver who says he’ll never go to Berlin is a German actor who played a Berlin detective on tv for 30 years. I can’t help thinking some of that was deliberate.
