"They love geography. You name places they go nuts." is the underrated joke on this scene. Love you Andy.

[rmarques]

Conan: Americans are not always curious about other contries
Random audience member: *YEAH!*

[LeAlejx]

"They Love Geography" Andy always delivers the best lines

[dr.syndrome]

God, her voice though, very soothing and sweet.

[Doolazy]

As a Finn, my god you neighbours have so many good and loved actors. Love you for that!

[bradleystevens]

Andy - They love geography....hahaha he just sits and waits and delivers every time.

[Bobba]

Yes, Conan the Barbarian is a god to us in Finland.

[TIM]

She's a naturally beautiful girl.

0:57 "I'm a huge God in Finland." Very true.

Now we need a clip of Conan on the Hasselhoff show

Swedish fish are definitely Swedish. They're called "Pastellfisk" in Sweden and are made by Malaco specifically for the American market who weren't buying licorice.

As a Norwegian I encounter all these weird things which are "supposedly" Norwegian. In France they have something they call "Norwegian cake". In Netherlands I have found "Norwegian pancake" and in the US there was a bunch of stuff. I remember "Norwegian moisturizer." None of these things are Norwegian. But Jarlsberg Cheese is most definitely Norwegian. It was bizarre having American friends insist Jarlsberg was Swiss because it has holes in it. Like... you don't think other countries make Cheese with holes in them?

When I lived in the US, Helly Hansen, clothing brand had some popularity. Oddly many Americans were certain Helly Hansen was an American brand. But most Europeans will have these experiences. Americans think everything is American unless it is named something like "French fries"... which btw are not French but Belgium.

We do have what you call Swedish Fish but they are called Pastellfisk (Pastel-Fish) and are not sold in bags but in Pick and Mix/Penny Candys/Bulk Confectionery called Lösgodis (Loose Candy) and there is also a licorice version called Salt Sill (Salted Herring)

[nsimonish]

I adore that smile! Alicia's of course

[carefulconsumer]

I miss Conan. He was really great. Witty and funny.

Last line: "you would make me homemade meatballs?.... not gonna happen" Classic

[redbunnytail]

I remember her in 'Tomb Raider.' I totally thought she was Indian/English in real life. She got in good shape for it. I felt they needed a bigger budget for the movie. You know? Bigger budget. Better story and script. A lot of movies, these days, are like serious into special effects. This was a throwback, in that category, too. Everything was in place for a movie that even non-Lara Croft fans would want to see, particularly because of this actress. I don't think they did anything but place a 'hold' on the next Lara Croft movie. Someone could hit it out of the park, with the right budget.

[Peiksum]

Hasselhoff also had a talk show in Finland

[Iuel-Brockdorff]

Swedish Fish were developed by Swedish candy maker Malaco, specifically for the US market 🙂

Ava seems happy and relaxed nowadays. Good for her.
