You can't be the only one that laughts at your jokes. It doesn't work that way
The audience is bad, she is very funny. And she is very beautiful.
British think that they're the only one people who has humour which basically isn't humour at all, but you tell them that.
😂
you know its good comedy when it includes stereotypes and its still funny and acceptable in 2021
Even if they're true, aren't they typically exaggerated?
She is one of the most talented and strong women I have ever met. If you do not know her story I recommend you look for it immediately. (In short, in 2017 she was on a tour, she fell into a coma and almost lost her life) Today, stuck in a wheelchair, she gives us courage and makes us laugh and proud! Στέλνω όλη μου την αγάπη και τον αμέριστο σεβασμό μου.
I'm greek and I speak English exactly like her. I don't know either why that happens. Also she's hilarious!
15:08 im crying 😂😂
OMG this was funny! 'Why can't you all be like Canada' (i am Canadian! ;)
Update- she is still amazing, did another ted talk and almost died 3 times
Boss the hair the hair good small talk humor
❤️❤️
Η προσφορά σου είναι υπέροχη 😂 λατρευω
CATERINA I LOVE YOUUUUU
When she said India get off your phone I was like how I'll see the further video...😂
😄🤣😂..... Yep....Because Many! Stereotypes! of different people are .....TRUE!🤣👍🏾👍🏾✌
The audience must be Greek. They laugh at the Greek stereotypes but don't seem to have a clue about the British stereotypes.

What started out as a hobby, worked out to be something that brought lasting changes to my life. As a single mom I didn't have a lot to do when I wasn't cooking, cleaning the house or taking my son to school. I stumbled across binary options when I was looking for something to do that would give me extra money. I suffered losses due to scammers pretending to be legit brokers. I was about to quit when I stumbled upon a post from someone about Mr. Jason McQueen, I had mixed feelings about it but still I decided to give him a try.. He helped me resolve all my problems within an interval of 10 days. here's his Instagram page if there is anyone here with any problem write him up (@Jason_real.fx) OR WhatsApp: +1(601) 227-3847
You sound like a foreigner too
❤❤❤ΜΠΡΑΒΟ ΚΑΤΕΡΙΝΑ... ΠΟΛΥ ΚΑΛΗ... ΕΥΧΟΜΑΙ ΝΑ ΓΙΝΕΙΣ ΣΥΝΤΟΜΑ ΚΑΛΑ... 🌹🌹🌹
Thought you were really funny good performance.
there not true
4:37 german airport kept greek passengers behind for ten minutes with a language barrier, I arrive at the gate and it's exactly that just yelling and confusion, I was the only person who spoke both greek and English, I don't know how that plane got off the ground !!!
I love how authentic she is 😍
When does she get to the Pakistanis and Sudanese?
She has a problem: she is not funny ... I think she should not make fun of the English audience but should make fun of her Greek heritage ... that would not insult the audience as much as she did ...

@David DeWitt dude, chill out. i don't really care whether she was funny to you or not. it is purely a subjective thing. i just gave my 2 cents like you did
My face during the whole vid:😐
Hugh grant: I'm ridiculously befuddled
Well it took few minutes but she got the audience to loosen up... Great talk
I'm throughly amazed by this person. I don't know if it's greek meets english or stand-up comedy side, but she's firing me up like a dynamite. Extraordinarily hilarious. That's also an english word that makes no sense. How is something so normal that it's weird? Ordinary -> extraordinary. Somehow the part of "greece you're making me look real bad" is even more effective after the recent events.
Im nigerian and this killed me🤣🤣🤣🤣
...”Irini Pappas casts a long shadow...” I fell off my chair laughing, (while audience was apparently clueless)
Ok she is great, but her jokes last way to long!😄
Cringey
10:30 Is her funny bit with being a kindergarten teacher with the countries
I loved that classroom bit! X'D
"I'm the Hugh Grant of moisture" XD
Ah ah ah, the same happens to me whenever I go abroad, nobody actually believes I'm from where I'm from, stereotypes are so deeply ingrained in people's mind xD
Ah yes finally, a woman who is funny 🙏
Τεντ, Καλο θα ηταν να μαθετε να βαζετε τιτλους στην ιδια γλωσσα με το βιντεο που ποσταρετε. Αγκλικοι τιτλοι σε ελληνινοφωνα βιντεο, ελληνικοι τιτλοι σε αγκλοφωνα βιντεο. Τι σας συμβενει;😂
Απ'την περιγραφή : "Η όρθια κωμικός..." Έλεος... Αφήστε το στα αγγλικά καλύτερα
I learned that she is funny... that’s about it. It’s a good routine, but seems out of place.
Worst intro ever
British people don't get angry. Gordon Ramsay: "Excuse me?"
2:55
India get off the phone 😂😂😂
8:10 yoooo no one laughed after that "because he's dead joke" 😂😂
5:30 that part was funny 😂😂😂
英語勉強の為にプレゼンテーション？を見てるんだけど、いいゾ〜これ 日本に比べて下ネタも普通にいうけど、文化の違いが有るのは当たり前だよなぁ？
Her hair is mad
She is kind of right tho because they have to start somewhere some r more tru than other some not
I can't believe this is eight years old! She's very funny. But that crowd is so... cold.
Kala milame psixoligika sto ful 🤣🤣🤣😂
Is it sad the I was like ‘wait what?’ When she said the Jackson 4 and the when she said ‘because he’s dead’ I burst out laughing
I'm splitting my sides out here
She’s freaking hilarious
Best ted talk!!!!!!!!!! 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
fantastiki, bravo katerina
The title is kinda weird? This is kinda just a stand-up set. I thought this would be like, a breakdown of our use of stereotypes, and while I disagree that stereotypes are always inherently funny, I still wanted to watch to get a differing opinion to see what the justification would be (like, maybe it would be "stereotypes, when not punching down, or directed towards your own culture or something like that"), but then it's mostly just a standup set that has stereotypes in it. Not really anything that awful, but also, kinda disappointed. (unless her point is that stereotypes are funny because they are true, when them being funny isn't per say due to that, and judging from some of the jokes, not even funny to begin with based on the reactions of the audience)
Ωραία βυζιά!
I love the dead-on descriptions of the countries as children!
this is one of my fave ted talks
👍
This wasn't very informative.
did she just say that it doesn't rain hard in the uk?
I would love to watch her to do more talks. Or her stand comedy. She is amazing
How’s this a TED talk? She’s not that funny
I can’t find her funny... not a bit..
"Because he's dead" ))))
The part of British don't angry excpet by stress words and letters is very nice and i couldn't stop loughing,, just come to us and you'll find the real anger 😡😡😡😡😡😁
2:04 my jaw dropped when she said "you bastards"
Canada isn't that good dudes. yeah its better, but its not good enough

Very funny
She kinda reminds me of Matt Parker if he were female
How much do you want to bet she did psychedelics? 😂
It's just too much!!! I can't laugh anymore, my face is hurting! 😂😂😂
If you like their weather you will also like their foods and their humor hagar horrible ha ha ha .
She's so cute
so...was she trying to do a TED talk or a comedy bit? she failed at both either way.
wow ......so many words....none of them funny.....unbearable
watching again. This is great!
οταν οι αντρες σου βλεπουν "οοοο σιτ" χχαχαχα
She is telling the truth, and that is why some people were not laughing. "I'm the Huge Grant of moisture." That had me laughing so hard... lol
what is with her pants ? :) pardon trousers...
Cringe. 10 :00 minutes in... full narcissism schizophrenic breakdown. And Canada is just corrupt and it's people subtly oppressed.
Most unfunny "commedian" I've ever heard
India still on the phone 📱 😂
"An Albanian girl got the part. Go over there, take our jobs" brilliant humor! Thanks Katerina :)
Vrana is serbian second name...
OMG THE BRITISH STEREOTYPES ARE SO REAL I CANT EVEN 😂😂😂😂
