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. Vague ones such as "Cheese" were typically answered with: "Do you know how little that narrows it down?" BoredPanda selected some of the best responses, so we invite you to play along in the comments.

Superb documentary, go watch it to get some perspective on Borat!
