You know what they say about people who assume...

There's no shortage of stereotypes in Hollywood when it comes to film and TV — guns going off every five minutes, teens who look like 30-year-olds, and red solo cups in abundance at every party.

Global Road Entertainment

But, for every overplayed stereotype about America, there are a BOATLOAD more about foreign countries and cultures.

Here are some of the best replies:

1. In Southeast Asia, there are many precariously placed fruit carts for heroes and villains to crash into.

Sony Pictures

2. In Brazil, Rio de Janeiro is apparently a stone's throw away from the Amazon rainforest.

Paramount Pictures

3. Also in Brazil, Carnival happens year-round/is always happening when the main character is in Brazil.

20th Century Fox

4. In Mexico, everything is ~sepia~ toned.

5. In Central America, everyone sells cocaine and is involved in a drug cartel.

6. In the UK, everyone only lives in London.

Warner Bros.

7. Also in the UK, everyone speaks with a hoity-toity posh accent OR a brash, cockney accent.

Focus Features

8. In Africa, there is only Africa — not, you know, 50+ countries.

Paramount Pictures

9. In Nigeria, the natives speak "Nigerian," which isn't a real language.

Netflix

13. In Australia, Melbourne, Sydney, and the Outback are all close to one another.

New Line Cinema

14. In Russia, it's winter all year long.

15. In Canada, everyone is kind and eager to help, even if you're not in need of assistance.

16. In Switzerland, the only thing they're known for are their banks.

Paramount Pictures

17. In France, no matter where you are, you always have a view of the Eiffel Tower.

18. Finally, in Germany, everyone is blonde-and-blue-eyed and has, ahem, questionable morals and ethics.
