"Superbowl of deplomacy" is the most American way of describing the UN I have ever heard.

[egg-iufe]

The high school mentality never goes away, not even in a UN assembly

2009: this man is crazy
2023: he spoke truth

0:27 The interpreter lost consciousness after interpreting for 90 minutes straight.
Normally, you switch with a partner after 30 min but because Gaddafi claimed, he wanted to hold the speech in a very specific dialect, they thought one would be enough. In the end, he spoke in standard Arabic.

i like how as a kid i always thought that world leaders are grown ups and all their decisions are made thoughtful and methodically and everything is right.. and now as young adult im like: yeah i could also rule a country.. doesnt seem that hard

It's the "I can still smell sulfur in here." 🤣🤣🤣

Gaddafi's interpreter actually fainted he was so worn out from translating.

I think the craziest UN bruh moment was when they refused all help during the genocide in Rwanda

[nasfrom-da-ldn]

Gadaffi was not actually crazy he made a lot of sense, only now people can see

[kristopherdetar]

Goes to show you, we are all really just children in big older bodies.

Would've been nice to actually see some of these moments instead of just a random guy mentioning them.

The U.N is basically a student council looks good on paper but nothing actually gets done

[Dusankk]

The most legit speeches were those of Gadafi, Asad and Chavez.

[HayfaTunisian]

Gadafy looks crazy but sometimes when you listen to his speeches it seems to you like he's the only one with a brain..

[jasonr]

Not sure how George W Bush informing Rice that he has to take a bathroom break counts as a memorable moment

[justinjavier]

"Remember when Bush got up to go to the bathroom? That was craaazyyy!"

[nozyspy]

Everyone who isnt American: "Superbowl? What is that, a really big bowl?"

[davenaoh]

Being at the un assembly must be pretty fun
