  • It's not the topic of other cultures that is "American" sense of humor. It's the sarcasm and veiled criticism of Sedaris's own American culture that lends the distinctly "American" flavor to his humor. His point is that everyone's myths are ridiculous, including his own and sarcastic wit is how he makes light of it. In my experience, sarcasm doesn't translate too well. Just look at all the posts below of offended parties who literally can't see the humor. Sarcasm is lost on them.

  • I'm actually from the Netherlands and I still find this HILARIOUS because there really is no other way to explain all this! You really shouldn't overthink these kind of traditions, just enjoy it! I mean, we're already used to the fact that Holland's got a horrible reputation because of all the prejudices, might as well get a laugh from it!

  • @Ripupthat Well, the fact that your comment has been marked as spam within 45 minutes should say enough.

  • "What's not to love about being Dutch" haha :D As a Dutchy I think I must agree ;-)
