Conan O’Brien Hates My Homeland

The concept:

Awhile ago, Conan did a bit where he showed fake Euro coins. One of those coins made fun of the Ukraine, which provoked a lot of angry letters. Here’s the interesting part: those letters were from the Ukraine. Conan had no idea that Late Night was aired in the Ukraine, and began to wonder where else he was on. You would think he could just ask NBC, but they won’t tell him, because then they’d have to pay him more. There is just one way to find out, and that is to viciously insult every nation in the world, and see which ones he gets letters from.

The result:

Afghanistan

The good news is, you can’t read.

Algeria
It took you eight years to beat France.

Canada
With massive overpopulation threatening the globe, Canadians maintain a population of less than 35 million. How do they do it? Zero sex appeal!

China
If you’re gonna be in prison, it might as well be for no reason.

Germany
The great 20th-century power that said, “Ditch Einstein, get Hasselhoff.”

Japan
Last century, you brutally defeated China and Russia. This century, you make Hello Kitty toasters.

South Korea
Your biggest natural resource is coal, which gives dog a nice, smokey flavour.
