35 Most Interesting Responses To “Without Telling The Name Of Your Country, Where Do You Live?”
A lot of effort is put into decreasing the pervasiveness of stereotypes, for instance in the workplace. However, sometimes stereotypes bring entertainment: in sitcoms, they are commonly used as comedic devices. Think Kelly Bundy from "Married With Children" representing the dumb and sexually liberated blonde trope. The hurtful nature and the joy of reclaiming a stereotype is illustrated by plenty of sketches with the joke being that character realizes they are not close friends with someone after the person they teased with stereotypes gets offended.
One redditor, heisnberg97, posted on r/AskReddit "Without telling the name of your country, where do you live?" The post blew up, garnering nearly 49,000 upvotes and over 60,000 comments, detailing niche as well as broad hints at where people live.

I'm sad, that my country would be most easily recognised, if I just wrote "Hitler", even though we are so much more than that.

I know what we SHOULD be known for. At least 99% of us would think so: Bread! (It's part of UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage) We have like 3000 "significantly different" recipes. It's the best in the world.
