insert any European watching Eurotrip, where London, Paris, Amsterdam and Rome are all shot in Prague

i mean, to be fair basically no movie is shot in the place where it's plot originated. Same for TV shows.

Oh yes for sure, this particular example is just pretty extreme, I think that might be part of why it wasn't as well known in Europe? I only saw it years later myself. Maybe it's just that Europeans weren't as keen to laugh at their own stereotypes. Also I had just watched it the night before so the example was fresh in my mind. To be clear I laughed my as off watching it, it's all good (though I do wonder if some of the humour would still fly today).
