Stephen Colbert took over as host of The Late Show on Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015. Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and best known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Prior to joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed “The Colbert Report,” which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one third of the time. Good luck, Bill!"

If America entered Eurovision there'd finally be a country that gets less points than the UK.
It's impossible.

Contrary to the popular belief of illuminati conspiracies about Eurovision,it is,after all, "a SONG CONTEST".
United Kingdom has won Eurovision 5 times already,the reason why they did not do good in last years is due to song,not politics or conspiracies.
Take Germany for example.They had a good pop song one year,they won it.
Last years they had bad songs,they did not do good.I can give you as many examples as you like.
chessplayer nah I know it's not some illuminati conspiracy. I just think we aren't particularly liked across Europe. Understandably! So yeah if we have an amazing song then we'll do well, but we'll never get any points from loyalty/love.
I'm sorry but no one comes close to making fun of Eurovision as well as the Europeans do. Love Love Peace Peace was a masterpiece.
Agree! Love love, peace peace was hysterical.
Love Love Peace Peace should've won 😂 It was indeed a masterpiece

“Why can’t we compete?” This video answers your own question boi
All due respect, the Eurovision hosts themselves did a Eurovision parody that was 10000% funnier and more on point.
There also was a parody in 2000 by Germany which got them the 5th place. "Wadde hadde dudde da?" from Stefan Raab. We should do it more often...
+Heu ballen
And the 1987 Israeli contribution Hoola hoola hoepa getting 2nd place. Pure genius.

What was so funny about Jamala's song? Some americans are sick
non sono d accordo prima di jamala almeno due erano prima di lei metti tu l ordine da roma ho visto questo
The funny thing is her song is absolute crap and only won because of politically voting clowns.
It's as funny as 9-11 you know.
It's funny because in America something that doesn't show asses is not even considered a song
Petra Agnes Szalontai yes😢😢
why tf is the audience laughing at the line "They kill you all."
they are trained.. if the red lamp light up .. remember to clap and have fun they might get 100dollers.. mad by US..
Because everything needs to be happy in the US (even if it’s fake)
ummmm...Am i the only one from Europe who thinks that America is jealous asf....🔫🔫
angel. moys no
angel. moys you're right we're 100% jealous
Have you heard of satire?
Hauyne Geek no

America would ruin eurovision
agree
like yeah
No we would just win
You probably wouldn't win, the winner is decided 50% by public vote, I'm not one of these people but too many people hate america. Plus it would take at least 8 years for them to 1 up the country that won the most times.
Well you wouldn't win with what you just showed us
0 points for The USA from... whole of Europe.
Someone hahahhahahah escatlyy!!!
Thats so true
When audience laughs on the line from Jamala's song: "they kill you all...." - you know something is wrong with this society .....
Did you ever hear about context?
Инна Агапова it’s disgraceful, this is why people don’t like Americans, they’re ignorant and don’t understand
NinjaMapping- Lol just because a studio audience laughed at one joke causes you to not like Americans and call them all ignorant?
Инна Агапова- They’re not laughing because they’re happy the people died, obviously. They’re laughing because they weren’t expecting such a serious topic to be included in the song. Stop concluding that American society as a whole is wrong based of an audience at one late night talk show lol
Or you can look at it beyond the box. So maybe something wrong with you ? He was talking about how the winner should be the top summer happy go pop song. So they laugh because that song is so out of context.
This is exactly what Europeans think when we watch ”football”players play the Super Bowl and kick the ball once.
Hahaha this was good!!!
Considering that American and Canadian football are both much closer to rugby than the game we called "soccer" - I wish we would have called it something else than "football". "Gridiron" is an alternative name for the sport - why didn't that become the standard term? Oh well...
@@DataLal The full name of rugby is rugby football, just like the full name of soccer is association football.

Hey only we,Europeans can make fun of Eurovision!!!
And Australia!
+Ian Tester NO, NEVER AUSTRALIA! GO AWAY!
+MirrorMei YES! Why are they in it? It's so weird
Amar Lovesbooks Because Sony Music Australia is paying for their talent to appear. This year's entry was good. Last years, not so much.
+Ian Tester In 2015 the European Broadcasting Union voted for Australia's participation in 2016. The contest has been screened in Aus since 1983, and Aus is also an associate member. There is a RUclips video of the spokesperson of the EBU who makes its' intentions known re: expansion around the world. Australia's participation is only the first step
The last country that I want to be part of Eurovision is the USA. Please, don't let this happen. They think, that they are the best and greatest when it comes to music. Pffh. They would ruin the contest. It's EUROvision. Not WORLDvision. Australia? Ok, why not. It's a nice country/continent and they are pretty alone down there. USA? That's way too much.
+Annika Elstermann It 's not really a "Eurovision" since everybody just sings in english,
+wyl Kan *coughs* france, italy, austria, ukraine ...etc
+Annika Elstermann I'd be alright with the USA entering providing this was the entry every single year. Which I know goes against the rules of the contest (the song must be a unique song, never heard in Europe before), but still ... it's right up there with most everything else that comes out of Eurovision.
+wyl Kan There is no rule that prevents the countries from singing in any language. In fact, there have been some entries that have been sung in languages that have been completely made up just for the contest. So, theoretically, we could have the entry for the UK singing in Swahili. Or the entry for Russia singing in Elvish.
Also, to my knowledge, the reason it's called the Eurovision Song Contest is because it's a song contest broadcast by Eurovision (eurovision.net, not eurovision.tv, which is for the ESC), which is a department under the European Broadcasting Union; the same reason the show "Comedy Central Presents ..." was called that - it was broadcast by Comedy Central.
wyl Kan Yes, I wish it was different.
I'm the only one that don't get why they laugh on the Jamala video?
Twice방탄 because she’s singing about ethnic cleansing and might get radio play. It’s weird.
+stressedandsleepless
The show didn't expect anything, the áudience expected a happy pop song, because stephen deliberately told them it was going to be a song for the summer.
He purposely set them up to be fooled and áfter they recovered from the surprise, they stíll laughed at 'kill you all' (even though it was clear this was not a happy song.)
I'd also like to add that it did not escalate quickly...it started with "strangers are coming, they come to your house' and scary music. The follow up is obviously not going to be 'they will offer you an applepie.'
The moment it díd escalate, was when the murder *happened.* Which is why the song and the victims deserve more credit.
Álso...try googling the full song, because I feel like you have no clue how the full thing sounds.
+carschmn I would honestly feel that her message deserves to be on the radio more than Justin Biebers; 'My momma don't like you and she likes everyone."-shit.
And that song has been played hów many times? That's a fucking revenge-song with a love-censored "fuckyou'-message. *THAT* is alright for the Americans to listen to on the Radio by Biebs, but thís song *agáinst* ethnic cleansing is just *weird* ?
I'd also like to advice yóu to google the full song.
Widdekuu91 uh. He’s Canadian. Don’t play stupid. Lol. It’s American television. Made to be funny. It’s funny to Americans. Broadcast to Americans. Don’t get salty or mad. Lol. I love Eurovision. But dayum it’s funny seeing y’all get mad. We don’t. People make fun of us. It’s cool. I love other cultures. You just can’t take a simple joke.

+Amber Rose We're laughing about people jamming out to such a tragic and dark song. Not the tragedy. It would certainly feel strange dancing to that song :-\
Are you laughing about 11/9..... ???
Let me explain why they are laughing. First, when they *kill you all* there is nobody left there to *say sorry*. It's a paradox. And second, the songs should not be written about war either. They just sound so wrong. Case and point has been made. Yes war is brutal and terrible but you cannot sing about it and expect everyone to be so serious about it. And politics play a crucial part in Eurovision. Points are given based on political ideals and interests. Ukraine won because most country's from EU based their votes thanks to sanctions that EU imposed against Russia because of civil war that happened in Ukraine.
*Politic should be banned from any competition. If you fail to understand that, you fail pretty much at understanding true values in life*.
because american pop lyrics are waaay more deep right?😂
Yes of course they are us number one
+Ceci La la la he wasn't just mocking the shallowness of Eurovision songs, and my.. are they often shallow (except when they go all political like with '1944'). He was also mocking the fact that many Eurovision song lyrics are written in English by non-native English speakers, and are often riddled with... 'interesting' turns of phrase. As in... things you'd never, ever expect to hear from a native English speaker.
+Guillermo St of course,we're not English neither American people 😂 we just HAVE to use english because otherwise we wouldn't be able to understand...

Eurovision is not the pop song contest, it accepts all kind of songs and shows.
I'm European and I watch eurovision. And I totally get it that this is a joke. We ourselves love making fun of eurovision, because often it is very silly. But I didn't really think this was funny, simply because it feels a bit weird that he's making fun of something he doesn't know anything about. He hasn't watched Eurovision and probably didn't read up on the history behind it either (which was about bringing the European nations together after WWII).
It's like if someone would joke about traditions in Uganda without having any connection or experiences with the culture. The best comedians joke about something from their own experience, not from ignorance and about cultures they don't know much about or are not involved with.
+Anna
I think he should've changed the laughing and joking around about the war-song. That one just seemed so ignorant it was painful to watch.
Widdekuu91 Yes. I agree. That was inappropriate.
Joking about Uganda's traditions and culture was once turned into one of the most popular memes ever (Uganda Knuckles). Even ugandans themselves considered it funny. It's not about joking about topics you know little about. It's all about the perfomance and his was simply a bad perfomance, that's why it's not funny. A lot of people are ignorant about the qualities of my prick yet if a good comedian made a good joke about it, everyone would laugh, right? Don't put too much heat into it.
Thanks for saying this I totally agree I got so agitated watching this, it mocks everything I stand for like unity, freedom, equality and peace. I feel like his viewers are brainwashed into thinking we’re of a lower ‘caste’ than america!
Am I the only Europoen person reading the hate comments about eurovision?Even though you guys don't know eurovision lol
"Translated from the original European."
Nobody in the audience laughed. No-one. Did they think that that was actually a serious statement?
People, search "Eurovision love love peace peace". A far better parody produced by the people of eurovision. We aren't unaware. We just fucking love it.
+abnormallyfunny The best song was the number Mans and Petra did "What is Eurovision?"
The Revue song is also great! "Watch as you bankrupt the host nations broadcasting company" and "You'll never be as good as Riverdance"
I did. Lame
Actually this year Eurovision got really classy.
Love Love Peace Peace is amazing :D
typically american style to mock something that america isn't involved in
If you think this was good, you should have heard our hour long stand up special about the Crimean War.
Ok, come on, look, it's Eurovision, something like 70% of the fun laughing at it, and most of the competing companies know it.

But Cesar from Ukraine is perfect in every way and will be my husband and I will fight anyone who disagrees and you are wrong.
ok then, don't say shit about the Superbowl. you're not involved in it so you can't mock us
Im Asian, and seeing this I really understand why nobody in the WORLD say that they love US, except themselves
Of course we Europeans can take a joke, and I’m not mad ESC is being ridiculed. I mean, every year there are some pretty ridiculous acts in the mix. However, 1944 was not one of them. No need to explain the joke over and over to me (“they laughed because they didn’t expect it! That was the point omg”), I get it. But what makes it troubling for me is that the joke was made by somebody who clearly doesn’t know that much about it and is effectively an ‘outsider’ to the culture and history of Europe and Eurovision. Furthermore, the only reason the audience didn’t expect the serious song is because of the INCORRECT description of Eurovision beforehand. Yes it’s fun, yes it’s campy, yes it’s full of pop songs. But that’s not all that it’s about and it never has been. It’s been a platform for social and political issues for ages (even though that’s not officially allowed), so for any European watching ESC a serious song winning wasn’t that surprising at all.
The song was quite alright. No problems with it. The only issue I personally have with this is the distasteful way they joke about a mass murder they know too little about to write jokes to begin with.
The comment I was looking for. The whole way he went about it felt wrong to me. If he was going after russia from that year or some of Eurovisions truly campy entries, I would get it, but this whole thing felt in poor taste
@@royami8627 I'm pretty sure he wasn't trying to do something in poor taste.
you're presenting all the reasons people are upset about this, there is a social disconnect that was clearly defined in this skit. we need to be more better and more accepting.
@@sillygoose635 It's one thing if a Ukrainian presented the joke, it's not ok for an American. It's not American history and the fact that Jamala herself lost family in that tragedy makes the joke very disrespectful.
Let's laugh about 9/11, I find it pretty funny.
No no, can't laugh at that. Only at other people's genocides and national traumas.
This guy just tries to please the russians, see they are pretty angry too
Im American and i make 9/11 jokes, so ur good
somehow I didn't find it funny ..
You didn't understand the joke. He wasn't laughing at the genocide, he was laughing at the fact that people rock out to a song about genocide. It's like someone making a song about 9/11 and people jam to it, it's just weird.
Off course the US can't participate. The average American has never heard of half the countries in the Eurovision Song Contest.
When I went to New York they thought that Spain was somehow under Mexico so yeah they probably don't know about the existence of Moldova or Montenegro

+jdlaw001 u kidding me, this is absolutely legit, those who think the act in itself is a farce are soooo wrong

Lol, why don’t the other countries get participation trophies then.
Murica doesn't know what culture and history means. :D
They are jealous because they do not have history.. 😂
Bwahaha, top comment xD
Haha ;)
I think it's best for everybody if europeans studied US history instead of repeating this tired garbage. Colbert is a very smart man. He knows world history. He's highlighting the incongruity of talking about genocide and war while at a silly pop song contest. For Americans like me, yeah, that's weird. Obviously not for euros. Vive la differance!!
That is a very ignorant comment.. Every country in the world has history, duh.
No, no, they do have history (which they are often trying to cover up), they just don't have a real culture :'D
very disrespectful
+Alec Joseph Yeah you can joke about war and killing people. Fuck it right?
+Norwegian Royalist Agree. Poland, Israel or Bulgaria should have won. That's just politics.
+Alec Joseph imagine if people from Europe would laugh while listening to a song about 9/11. Should all americans just accept the joke then?
+Adam Nilsson if it's in a stupid and in appropriate pop song then yeah. Not the place to discuss serious business. Plus we already have memes about it like "Bush did 9/11" and "dank memes can't melt steel beams" so there's no shortage of laughing off such a heavy matter (to be able to move on with normal life while still never forgetting)
If someone was trying to pass off a serious song about 9/11 as a pop song, then yes.
Would have been disqualified! Stephen you are only allowed 6 people on stage, gosh don't you know anything!!!

I like Stephen Colbert but now I get why Lars Erickssong hated Americans so much.
As an American who loves Europe, and how they VALUE, and LEARN FROM THEIR HISTORY, how they HIGHLIGHT THE ARTS. I am disgusted by this. Eurovision was founded to unify the European Nations after WWII. To mock an artists song without context especially a song with such a powerful message is not only wrong, but appalling.
thank you Angela Michele for this comment - that is exactely the point why this video got so many dislikes ....you can make fun out of Eurovision but do it with respect - because it has a deeper meaning for us here in Europe + Israel + Australia

@@muddyfeet69 honestly, why is Australia allowed? They're not Europe. They have a smaller history than the US. They're just England v3.0
@@JessKalinow That's exactly part of the reason. They're not as disconnected from Europe. Also they showed a huge interest in Eurovision with high viewership for several decades before being allowed to join. So they 'get it'. But even if they win it still won't be hosted there.

Making fun out of this Jamala's song is like making fun out of forced deportations and country's very sad and frightening historical years. Making fun of killing people, literally. Can't believe people in America actually laughed at lyrics of Jamala's song - go educate yourselves a little bit. It's disgusting.
+Fionn Devaney Who are you to say that you speak for 'all of Britain'? You are a nobody. The song was bad and I won't stop anyone from taking the piss out of it but it did not go against any of the Eurovision rules. The song was mostly about the individuals experience, a government that doesn't exist anymore and a very generic story of invasion. It was perfectly fine. If anyone saw links with the current situation in Crimea, that is there own association. Also, European countries aren't destroying one another and half of this country don't want to leave the EU, myself included. And to top it all off, you end with a clearly elitist form of thinking; self declaring this country as the 'civilised' one. We are not a better country than many of those in the EU. Just thought I'd make it clear that you do not speak for all of us.
+deanrocks1000 "If anyone saw" ???? :DD Haha, dude, this song was sang by her back in 2015 May in national language and it was ABOUT THE CRIMEA ANNEXATION. She broke all the rules she could. Song shouldn't have been heard by mass auditory earlier than in September 2015 and it is all about politics.
+Fionn Devaney I can say, MOLLY's song was great and at the same time so underrated, but you can leave UE even now. The wave of immigration will not stop any time soon and they are determined to live in UK (and Germany) in or out of EU. If you close the borders, some people will find a way to get them in either way. And you are just too lazy to work as hard as your Eastern European or Asian and African immigrants. That is a fact.
Why dont you ask why they were deported?
They sided with Hitler and got the order from Hitler and Bandera to "clean" Crimea! They killed 70k people there! So that song is trying to wash away their own crimes! Stalin just deported them, while Tatars killed actually people!
Sry but this song is pro Nazi!
So I guess Stain was right to kill all those people. (see previous comment) Maybe a song needs to be made about that.

Jamala is the name of a Drag queen here in Moscow
+Diggs Will Wait... They allow drag queens in Moscow? I thought the Russian government was against that... judging by their reaction to Conchita Wurst and any LGBT+ related content.
Kirstin Scott trust me I've been to many gay clubs and events here in Moscow,they don't publicize it
Diggs Will Ah, so it's underground then. Understandable. I know there's some subtle support for LGBT+ people among Russian ice skaters and Sergey Lazarov was quite supportive but I've not done much research into what it's like to actually live in the community there or the general public opinion. I had guessed that it's not as bad as some African countries. Interesting to know anyhow.
Kirstin Scott there are so many out gay celebrities here in Russia including Sergei Lazarev,Dima Bilan etc and I've met so many straight guys working in a gay spas all over Moscow,and some African countries are tolerant of gays while some aren't like my country Nigeria 🇳🇬,people don't tolerate it publicly but you know behind closed doors things happen.

They don't need to ruin it. It is already ruined since they turned it into a circus. There is nobody anymore who is famous or gets famous through it as in the beginning.
No, Europe already ruined the best musical platform in the world (as it used to be) and making it a freakies show
When's Canada joining? I hope the answer is NEVER. Canada as a whole is barely more into Eurovision than most Americans are - it's just not part of the general culture. [Canadians like to think they are superior in some fashion to Americans, but really, we Canucks are much more like Yanks than we care to admit]. Even if we got hyped up for it and made a serious go at participating [assuming we'd ever be invited], I imagine us getting low scores or dead-last place a lot, like the UK. Plus, you have Australia.

For the first time in 60 years - it's a shame that when they finally broadcast it "over there", all they can do is make this unfunny mockery of it.
It's a mockery of itself.
+Frabjous Beamish What's poor about Europe? Ever seen Africa?
***** Well, I don't think it's really fair to compare a large country to an entire continent of dozens of countries. The difference between American states is smaller than the difference between European countries and cultures.
And you know that the USA is known for its tackiness and cringe-inducingness, right? :P
They're also known for their years of extravagance, while Europe seems to have stayed more sober over the decades.
Besides that, Europe doesn't really have continent wide 'media events'. It's just every country for itself. In every country there is a small part of the population watching the ESC, though :P
Though I agree, the ESC has been a laughing stock for us Europeans for ages. Which is why it's nice to see that my country (the Netherlands) finally gets it and started putting normal songs up, which is why we became 2nd in 2014 I think, people thought of it as a breath of fresh air between all the madness :P But you also must admit that there have also been great world hits came from the ESC. Such as ABBA with Waterloo, but more recently Loreen's Euphoria.
It's like 50% just wants to make a fool out of themselves, 40% are trying but failing (hard), and there's always this 10% of songs and countries at the ESC that try to make a good song and a nice show and actually produce some pretty cool stuff :D
***** Ik weet niet hoe oud je nu bent, maar de laatste jaren is het inderdaad weer wat beter aan het worden :P Ik kijk het inmiddels om beide redenen: voor de belachelijke acts van belachelijke deelnemers, en om te kijken of er wellicht toch nog iets leuks tussen zit wat me blij maakt :P
Was alleen in het buitenland de afgelopen tijd, dus ik moet die van 2016 nog wel terugkijken :o
the commentators didnt even know how the voting works! one would think before commentating on an event, you know, you would do a cursory level of research about said event.
Michelle Collins knew a thing or two. Carson was just ridiculous. At least Graham Norton is hilariously witty.
It's called EUROvision for a reason.
Pls, Usa, the exit is that way ---------------------------------------------------------------->
exactlyyy :))
Its called Eurovision, because its an event for members of the EBU. The US could technically participate if they became members, just like Australia, Israel, Morocco, etc.
+Marc Liljeqvist that countries participate because they really like Eurovision. For example Australia has participated this year because many people wake up at night and watch it, but the Americans don't really care about Eurovision.
It's for Europe only yet countries like Australia, Israel, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia take part in.
All those countries except Australia and Israel are in Europe. Israel is part of the European Broadcasting Union (producer of Eurovision) and Australia is a guest and an associated member :)
How dare you laugh at Jamala!
I find it hilarious when American's roast us Europeans. They literally wouldn't exist if it wasn't for us 😂
And it was paid back, when America helped defeat the Nazis in ww2, and helping rebuild Europe after the destruction of ww2. Through rebuilding and Loans, search up Marshall plan.
America is uk France and spain
FYI America invented the internet you said that on
and you wouldn't be saying that comment if it wasn't for americans
The Seer yeah and America is in hella debt to Eu, is a laughing stock and so much more. Plus you didn’t save shit before the war came knocking on your door. Until then you just threw refugees out and put Americans in concentration camps
the most fun thing about eurovision is that america isnt a part of it 😆😂😈
Haha yes
Agreed 😂
and that nobody but europe cares for it.
@@sillygoose635 nah, I'm from america and there is a very specific reason why we arent in it, I'm not salty about it, its still an amazing event
@@ChadGamesIsYourDad
Yeah the specific reason is because is only for Europeans
EUROvision
and that's why we don't want America to participate
And also the fact that they're not in our f*cking continent. There's that too. (Yes, that also means Australia doesn't belong either)
Also from wiki: "To be an active member, broadcasters must be a member of the European Broadcasting Union, or be in a Council of Europe member country. Eligibility to participate is not determined by geographic inclusion within the continent of Europe, despite the "Euro" in "Eurovision". So basically US can participate, but after this video I think it'd be better for them not to.
@@fullmetalchibifreak yes, but Australia is politically closer with the U.K and the U.K is located in Europe..and both the U.K and Australia are commonwealth countries...idk...
Omg, seriously America? Laughing at Jamalas' song? It is such a poor taste. This is a song about war and personal experiences of her family. It is just disrespectful. Okay, I get the rest of the video (even though I think it didnt show the true ESC, but just the fun things and I get that it is a talk show, so it probably should be like that).
If it's not half-naked girls grinding their pelvis singing about "doin' it" while gold chain clad muscle men throw dollar bills and make weird gestures then it's of no interest to Murricans.
It is ridicle that a song about a masacre wins a musical festival, one more awful winner because of the horrible musical taste of voters ..that put in victory awful songs like Toy, Satelite, 1944, Hard rock alleluyah, I wanna .... it is absolutely tasteless.
@@mktuag I, as a Dutchman, can definitely tell that you don't understand anything about Eurovision. :-)
mktuag i really don’t think you get Eurovision. It’s more than just vocals, it is about performance and lyrics, it’s about history, and all these song you write were great. The songs are what Eurovision is about. Unity.
@@mktuag I don't think tasteless is the right word here; it's not to your taste and that's a really big difference, because obviously the majority of voters liked those songs. Some of them even really very much...
Eurovision? The biggest event? Oh my god... you never saw an european during the world cup...
Ruben Kewssel true😂
I think he wanted to say the biggest music event
Ruben Kewssel true
By the way: FRANCE WON THE WORLD CUP! I'm so proud of my country.😢
@@anelkia27 *Cries in croatian*
Eurovision makes fun of Eurovision much better than Americans. this is just obvious mockery and not even funny.
First time in my life I slam the dislike button so hard. Well, I think I totally lost my trust for the United States of America now
Come on, take a joke.
Ain Kyori The Amateur Hetalian Artist This is just one guy on one show. It was filmed in LA or New York, which are both shitty cities so please don't think the entire country is like this.
+Ugh, not you again: Notice that Ain Kyori said "I totally lost my trust", meaning it was already going down the drain.
Now please go sue your elementary school for implementing Betsy DeVos' standards well before her time.
TheYasmineFlower If it is joke that pushes someone over the edge to not trusting an entire country that's pretty pathetic
_That's_ what made you finally lose trust in the the US? Damn, I'm American and I stopped trusting this country around the year 2003. You know, the invasion of Iraq, learning about all the shitty things the government has done both domestically and abroad, etc. But sure, a boring comedy segment is way worse.
Oh my God, US people, you have so much weird stuff going on in your country that barely gives you the right to say anything rude to the show that connects all the countries in Europe for a few days, and makes us all forget that we may be having an 'enemy' standing on that stage. You don't know the feeling when the country your country has problems with gives some points to us. It all about that. About forgetting what country that is, and focusing on the song, all the fun going on up there.
Lol
That's the point. We know we have weird crap. You can laugh at that like we do, why can't we laugh at yours?
This looks like something San Marino would send
I think even San Marino's entries are better than this.
On behalf of all european, please don't join the Eurovision Song Contest. Australia is the only one outside of Europe that can enter.
**Israel joins the party**

I think Canada could be nice too. Even though I hate the fact, that there are countries from outside of Europe!

At least in Eurovision people sing normal songs unlike in America almost every popular song is about sex.
ɪ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛᴜʀᴛʟᴇs are you a "Slavic girl"?
Doctor Batman
No.
ɪ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛᴜʀᴛʟᴇs Sex, Drugs, Bitches, Booty and some other shit
European songs are the same
well...-no. The same S...t in the Europe too.
This is why America isn't allowed to participate.
Australia is easy to justify being in the competitiom. They've enjoyed the competition for a long time, we envited them as a friendly gesture, and now we keep inviting them back because they're entries are so well loved by the fans of the contest. They're respectful, take the contest seriously, and they give us some amazing songs for the competition.
America makes fun of stuff like this too much and they'd take over the whole contest and make it about them. Don't get me wrong, there are some brilliant Americans out there that could bring some new cards to the table, but America is already salty enough that they're not in the competition. Imagine how salty America would be when they didn't win.
And they would be even more salty when they get 0 points
@@albertk233 yawn
Lame
America is not all the same, there's 50 states, each state is different, no one gets this and it shows ignorance, you're thinking of california and new york
I find this amusing since you missed the part where he said this was the first year it was broadcasted in America. So you twits excluded the US for decades from even watching the damn thing. Never even gave us a chance, so why would we give a shit? Honestly, it's cool you guys have it, just doesn't make any sense to include Australia. Is it reparations for sending all your criminals there?
I've only just come across this. I'm a huge Eurovision fan and have never missed one as long as I can remember. I even watched one year whilst in hospital! Us Europeans know it's terrible. That's what makes is so magical! Don't take the piss because you don't understand what it is. Don't be all American about it. Embrace the weirdness. Enjoy the bonkers. You have to invest yourself in it. It also helps to invent a drinking game whilst watching too!!!

@@marinadeburgos8666 omg so true pahahah
Thanks for the interest in our "little"contest. At least we get some recognition. We also can make fun of some entries, as you did.
But many european are proud about this special event watched by families since 1956 (we remember starting in watching it in 1964). This is the only evening during the year where most of the European countries sing together, sharing a message of happiness and eventualy peace. Very happy for Portugal to have won the contest. First time for them in 53 years! You, people of America, be most welcome to watch this show in May next year. Because sharing happiness makes us all stronger. Merci!

@@pixeled9683
Cause voting a little kid, trapped in the body of an aged senior, doesnt just influence America at its own.
Denying climate change for example, like you do, infects the whole world, cause America is one of the economically strongest countries.
The surface is pretty big, the population as well, and all other countries, that have rethought can not influence your wrong behaviour of endless consumption in any way.
Americans just always think of their own wellbeing.
Values like responsability dont exist in general.
(Of course there are also a lot of Americans, who have those values;
Im talking about the majority)
You can easily recognize in your non-existing social policy.
And when they see Europe is doing a certain contest and they are not involved, they get jealous and react by laughing at Europes traditions.
Thats childish, unsocial and disrespectful.
And you cant compare justified criticism on politic decisions of yours with a popsong-contest, that doesn't affect you at all.
Most Americans I know don’t even like Trump, but there are a lot of ignorant conservatives that voted for him. And btw Trump won the electoral college vote not the popular vote. There’s a difference and both of our candidates were very problematic. Even our 2020 ones are, all the good ones dropped out, now we have to choose between a candidate that was accused of sexual assault and can’t speak correctly most of the time or a candidate that was accused of sexual assault, made racist remarks, can’t accept that he’s wrong and has doomed our country. Bring Bernie back 😭

I remember watching this video back in 2016 and not understanding how the people there can laugh at Jamala's song.
I am watching this video now because I have never forgotten it after all these years, and I am shocked, disgusted and disappointed.
This joke about Jamala's song did not age well.
yeah well I get it why you'd laugh at eurovision, I mean its a culture thing, you wouldn't understand :)
Young Discord Eurovision is the most funny thing of the whole year, some countries send some songs which just shouldn't be taken seriously etc. Montenegro, Romania (talking about 2017)
As a Dutch non-American, if you think that bicycles work that way (or if you dare wear a helmet on one), you might have to hand over that "Dutch" prefix.

It's nice to make fun of other cultures... but at least Europe has culture and history. I know it's called humour and sarcasm and trust me I am the most sarcastic person of the universe but people need to know that Eurovision is not a circus... it's fun and the combination of different cultures!! it's not stupid or a waste of time!! it's all about how music can unite all countries no matter what!!!!

You would kind of have a point if he didn't make fun of the US constantly. I say "kind of" as, aside from ABBA, no artist from the ESC really had a big and lasting impact on the music scene. Most of the songs presented there are pretty generic.
How dare they laugh at 1944? I’m still salty that Ukraine beat Australia but I still appreciate Jamala and the message she sang to us all. It hits so differently now with the war going on.

AND THE FACT THAT THE AMERICANS WILL GET THEIR OWN CONTEST
It's not so funny.... 1944 it's not a funny song.... For god sake.... It's a serious song talking about finding peace and love from a war....Europe has suffer so much from wars.... Eurovision is not a funny song contest... Eurovision was made in 1956 to unite all Europe back together... And 61 years later it's on and it still has million viewers from all the world.... ABBA Céline Dion and many many other famous artists has sang on this contest... And that's why you know them...
+JAMES ELLIOTT FREESTYLE BALL No, they were laughing at 2:10 because those lyrics were unexpected. Not everything has to be based on stereotypes of Americans.
It's a pop song with a bunch of lights and glitter talking about so much death... Why not make it a mellow, meloncholy, and somber song instead? Idk it's just seen as inappropriate to most Americans because it's such a serious topic in the wrong setting
+ipodman80 not every song has to talk about fun in life.... There is wars that tear countries apart.... Destroy cultures... Killing people...and Europe has suffer enough from those...
