This kid is a moron. Precise example of the one thing wrong with our American education. He is probably from Texas and/or the south. My explaination to the Euros is this. If they are from the coasts. you are more likely to be able to have a conversation with them. If not..well you have people like him
I went to school in Leiden, I loved the dutch culture. With/without the coffeeshops. I was depressed for months after coming back to America. The main reason? being able to ride my bike everywhere and the immese amount of parks for people to hang out and relax.
For the Americans claiming the french know more english than the dutch. Sorry you are wrong. Watch Eddie Izzard - Dressed to Kill. Ignorance is bliss and its a shame.
I've gone back to Holland 3/4 years just for Queen's day
sigh....just...sigh. If your watching this series of videos don't bother about reading the rest of the comments. It's just not worth the headache. Just enjoy Lewis Black's soothing voice lol
@iqirus2 He's a country singer with NO talent.I love Lewis,but why he gives that idiot praise,I'll never know.The ironic part is I live in St.Louis,Mo,and I've been to that arena a 100 times to see the St.Louis Blues.I thought that was cool him being across the pond and mentioning my city.
Even on the video of a comedian people still manage to start arguing and raging against each other about their own small and meaningless opinions. It seems some idiots still can't rise above their own petty prejudices.
The world is in a war between stupidity and wisedome. If by some miracle people are alive a hundred years from now and the planet isn't a steaming ball of shit, they'll judge us not on how faithful we were but on how much we wanted to learn.
I really feel sorry for the dutch and the scandinavians...be it music, movies, tv shows, standup comedy or any other form of entertainment media, you really seem to depend on the USA (and then Britain)...why don't you start producing some culture of your own, instead of being fed by ours and then have the fucking nerve to laugh at us... fucking insignificant, useless countries... the world wouldn't even notice if your fucking country got flooded, 'cause nobody gives a shit about you...
@DennisTaylor1988 You obviously know nothing about the Netherlands, because it does produce its own culture and has spread this all over the world. The only reason why many people don't notice it much, is because they don't pay attention to it, but that doesn't mean it's insignificant or useless. Why the fuck do you and many other Americans always say your country and culture is superior to that of the rest of the world while you obviously know absolutely nothing about other cultures?
@AnimatorZo2 My country is full of a bunch of bible belt,creation believing(LITERALLY) idiotic morons! I don't know how we're the most powerful country on earth,when I see the MORONS that live here on a daily basis.I can't believe the ppl that walk the streets.It's embarrassing that the rest of the world can see this GREEDY,selfish,don't care about anyone,but themselves ass country on the internet.They can have their money,and weapons,I WANT OUT! I HATE AMERICA,and it's ppl,period!
@MrAmericanzombie Come to Canada, we got more natural resources and when winter comes the girls need someone to curl up to so they keep warm. Camping, fishing, hunting, fucking. I love this place.
Is Lewis Black the comedian that Joe Rogan was talking about when he said that the guy had a super political statement instead of a joke and at the end of it he said "That usually gets applause"?
Wow. The comments here really gives you an idea of why Americans have such issues when travelling. It isn't just the language barrier, but seemingly even mild cultural variations like 'how loud people laugh' reduce some to apoplectic rage.
@batmanpronz yeah, i know all you have to do is go to europe, speak without an accent, and they realize your american, and assume your stupid. It's horrible.
This crowds lack of perception and appreciation for the comedy they are in the presence of actually makes my viewing experience worse. Fuck that crowd.
@AZJamie1 No just fuck that crowd. And fuck you too for grossly misconstruing what I said. You employ the argumentative tactics of a 13 year old girl. (Not liking something = not liking anything and everything that deviates from your thinking), nice try but no, sorry, not even close to what I said.
@MvNPTI Do you not see the title? He's in Amsterdam, which means a different country. Different countries mean different behaviors. Just because they don't act like the "typical American" crowd doesn't mean they suck. Stop being so ethnocentric, you're making America look worse.
@Mo0m0oSaZn Nice spin, you should be a politician. Me saying that particular crowd's responsiveness is poor and detrimental to the overall presentation of the stand-up routine as a video special does not mean I am comparing it to a "typical American" crowd. Theres no typical American crowd, as you stated different regions have different sensibilities. Im comparing to crowds in general,including Canadian and English crowds ive seen. Stop drawing exaggerated conclusions youre making you look bad.
@o0Mav0o You're telling me I should be a politician when you're the one using big words, embellishing your examples and all the while degrading whomever it is disagreeing with you. I agree that I shouldn't have said "typical American crowd" as that puts me in a position assuming you're only talking about Americans, I apologize. So if I'm wrong, what are you basing this "lack of perception and appreciation" off of? How are you concluding that this crowd is being senseless to Mr. Black's comedy?
They're called adults, their main characteristic is that they don't scream like little children when their city's mentioned. But ofcourse they don't exist in the United States of America.
@qnzmg92 That's famous Dutch sobriety. There's no incestant whooping when they're obviously being pandered too. They will laugh when something's funny, and applaud when someone's making sense. Lewis understands this, because he's done gigs in the Netherlands before, I imagine. I'm sure the US-release DVD is on youtube as well, though, if you need to hear other people break down crying before you can think something's funny.
@qnzmg92 Wow. You're brave enough to write something like that behind your computer? I'm impressed. Some people would cower in fear at the thought of insulting people over the internet. I guess you're just one tough son of a gun!
@TheAllchemist I noticed that. I was just remarking on the fact it's easy to do so a few thousand miles away in anonimity and questioned whether he would have done the same had he been standing next to me.
@VexonCross yeah I noticed that - took me off-guard for a moment... guess I've been watching too much American television. It's actually quite nice - I find that behaviour quite annoying.
7:36 Yeah, i never understood why we had those tv channels in europe. That's something that really is better in the US. I'm not saying that there are no stupid tv channels in America but those "call 0180 666 666"-shows really are hella stupid.
