On last night’s Daily Show, Wyatt Cenac visited Sweden to see if it’s the Socialist nightmare Glenn Beck keeps telling us it is. After the initial excitement of “government sanctioned hand-jobs,” Wyatt visits pop star Robyn’s crib and learns the ugly truth. She only has one TV!:

That was funny, even if the whole joke kind of rips off Redman’s Cribs episode (aka the best Cribs episode.) It’s been like nine years, so it’s probably fine.

That was such a great segment. I think many Americans who watch FOX would be afraid of being European because it seems less powerful somehow on multiple levels. My favorite line was “the possibilities of CAPITALISM.” I think the possibilities of capitalism are spelled out pretty well with the Ying Yang Twins. What kind of civilized society would we be if we couldn’t spend all our g’s on Crunk Juice and Ramen???
I’m sick of the swiss!
he’s sick of the swiss.
I so wanna move to Sweden now. Call me a socialist if you want.
Also, that Wyatt Cenac is a cutie.
LOL…. right… this was meant to be funny? Anyway, I’m sick of them too! Always making me smile when I say SWISS- Just who do they think they are?
And also, SWEDEN and the Swedish have Cloetta Kex chocolate wafer bars – which IMHO automatically makes them WINNERS!
It’s from Kids in the Hall.

I almost forgot to say thank you…
Thank You, blinky
the post before this was aimed at Scott Thompson; it doesn’t really make sense otherwise, then again, most of my comments don’t anyhow.
Finland > Sweden
Animal Collective > Finland
SO MUCH DARIA on Videogum default pictures!
Eh, he should really try walking around downtown Oslo at night. Its a hellhole. Besides all these countries are moving away from socialism because they can’t handle the increasing number of immigrants. That’s also why it would never work in the US.
Edit > whoops, thought this was about Norway for a sec. I meant malmo, not oslo.
How can someone stand so much paid vacation? Only CEOs deserve that much vacation.
Oh god, I hope you’re joking…
I love being from the Socialist nightmare.
mr chi city got better swag than that biatch
what’s wrong with the swiss? i don’t get it!
also: does anybody here seriously believe that sweden is a socialist country? puhleeze!
Does enyone know the differense betwene a Swede and a Swiss
theres a difference!?
Robyn is seriously the best. It only makes me like her more, knowing that she is not a wealthy snob of some sort.
Sweden = Swedes
Switzerland = Swiss
Two completely different countries
the Swedish are too social, i agree.
But the attitude of the Americans is just SICK.
The richest country in the world, but still a lot of poverty in the big cities (mostly black people, off course). America could learn (a bit ) from the swedish people …
