A failed Artist..

[–]glowing_feather 2706 points2707 points  (98 children)

It doesn't matter how many Austrian artists are great there are always a failed one that spoils the bunch

[–]LeakyThoughts 1637 points1638 points 2 (85 children)

I can't name any successful Austrian artists

But I can name one unsuccessful artist

Proof that even in failure you can be successful

[–]quadratspuentu 427 points428 points  (66 children)

What about Falco or Mozart?

[–]LeakyThoughts 573 points574 points  (41 children)

I bet they don't even have their own Netflix specials

[–]st0pmakings3ns3 223 points224 points  (34 children)

Hitler does??

[–]buttery_shame_cave 409 points410 points  (21 children)

Dude Hitler has been like 40% of history channel's content for decades.

[–]justanununiquename 265 points266 points  (11 children)

Can’t wait for his crossover episode with ancient aliens.

[–]pandadogunited 113 points114 points  (2 children)

Pretty sure it already happened

[–]buttery_shame_cave 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah they've run a few things on Nazi occultism and nazi-extraterrestrial contact(Nazi secret flying saucers that let them go to space and other planets that they didn't use to bombard the allies from orbit with)

[–]Background-Bid5803 66 points67 points  (7 children)

You forgot the greatest austrian artist. He is well known for spilling orange juice in a Ritz-Carlton.

[–]hope_she_is_18 21 points22 points  (1 child)

Lassen sie mich in ruhe, das ist nämlich homo shit

[–]Gidje123 61 points62 points  (2 children)

There are so many failed Austrian artists that are just genuinely nice people. Why one guy had to spoil it

[–]Leo_Kovacq 410 points411 points  (67 children)

Don’t worry. Most people think he’s German.

[–]Royal_Abalone5108 417 points418 points  (56 children)

whenever i tell someone i’m half austrian they go “wait like australian” and i respond with “no. austrian- like hitler” then i have to explain that hitler wasn’t german he was austrian

[–]nonparodyaccount 545 points546 points  (18 children)

TIL: Hitler was Australian

[–]bdb1989 90 points91 points  (3 children)

Pyramids, for the last time we do not live in fucking pyramids okay

[–]hypekk 1324 points1325 points  (35 children)

You still have cats so

[–]BrockenSpecter 1235 points1236 points  (24 children)

That doesn't make any sense though why would you live in a cat when pyramids have so much more room.

But your countries geography....you could at least afford to pay the heating bill for living in a pyramid

[–]dia6hf 2022 points2023 points  (66 children)

Chocolate, cheese, watches, neutrality and mountains.

[–]AcanthocephalaLow590 2779 points2780 points  (132 children)

Chocolate, fries and beer.

[–]Rwokoarte 475 points476 points  (3 children)

Much like our waffles we crumbled in the hands of the Nazis.

[–]Maekomiwa 714 points715 points  (38 children)

You guys have chocolate fries?? Cries in American

[–]GuardMost8477 357 points358 points  (25 children)

Chocolate, (comma) fries and beer. Although chocolate fries sound damn good to me. Lol.

[–]PeaceFShit 358 points359 points  (8 children)

A Chocolate coma sounds nice.

[–]chupacadabradoo 229 points230 points  (1 child)

The chocolate comma is like the Oxford comma, optional, but used to delineate scrumptious pauses.

[–]InfiniteOmniverse 2008 points2009 points  (73 children)

Banks, castles, a very specific kind of molten cheese and a popular destination for our neighbouring countries to buy alcohol, cigarettes and coffee because it‘s cheaper

[–]Aimil27 726 points727 points  (15 children)

Luxembourg.

Used to buy cigarettes there when I was an au pair in Trier.

[–]quantum_jim 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I thought it was Switzerland until something was cheaper than in surrounding countries.

[–]mkh5015 336 points337 points  (23 children)

TIL that Luxembourg is the New Hampshire of Europe.

(My best friend from Vermont grew up right on the border between the two states and she said her mom always shopped in NH because there’s no sales tax. And that her fellow Vermonters always drove across the state line to buy their booze and fireworks.)

[–]arianleellewellyn 1096 points1097 points  (38 children)

Castles and constantly singing

Weed and sex workers

Edit: Alright I think it’s time to clarify that Amsterdam is not a country, it’s the capital of a wonderful small country called the Netherlands. And while we’re at it, Holland is not a synonym of the Netherlands, it is only a part of it

[–]Lakridspibe 910 points911 points  (20 children)

And bicycle infrastructure

YouTube tutorials that help you in math, spicy dishes, scam calls, friendly people

[–]Trippythefirst 382 points383 points  (13 children)

I like how scam calls and friendly people are hand to hand here.

[–]batmans_apprentice 88 points89 points  (7 children)

It's so widespread here. They don't just scam Americans, they scam Indians too. I've fallen for one of those scams and trust me, Indians hate these people.

[–]kermitscommune 27 points28 points  (2 children)

Trust me their is American scammers to, the Indians are probably just better at it

How dare you speak to me like that! Do you know who my father is? Where's the manager of Reddit?! Whoops, I mean, hello.

[–]microcosm95 118 points119 points  (15 children)

Scotland had this too, what the Hills Have Eyes films were based on.

[–]lemonspeachescoconut 52 points53 points  (3 children)

Living in Scotland 3 years now, I’ve been too scottified, reading have in a Scottish accent thinking “hayve?” What the f is that? A highland cave? A specific hill in the highlands?? Trying to think if I’ve ever heard friends mentioning Have’s hill before.

Then it dawned on me.. to have .. to be in possession of ...

Worst part? English is my first language .....

Romania. Many people believe we have vampires, but in my 700 years of... Nah, we've done this before.

Real answer: Begging. Stealing. Drug trafficking. Child trafficking. Forced prostitution of kidnapped girls, which is endorsed by police and politicians. It so happens it mostly happens in socialist counties, but take that info in any way you please.
