I love these classic Conan clips

I'm from germany, and yes, irony and sarcasm is really, really hard to translate (thats why i watch a lot of those movies in english). Deadpool for example was really hard i can imagine. They even changed some lines COMPLETELY because it wouldnt have made sense to just translate them. Its not an issue just with germany, it goes through every translation, where it has to be lipsync or its some reference to something else (which people might not know in another country, like some celebrities). But at least with Deadpool they really tried, Free Guy too, though it was not THAT impressive translated. On the plus side, germany is really good at dubbing movies, compared to the US. I watched some european netflix shows in german dubbing and english dubbing. The english version ALWAYS sounds like a german b-movie from the 80s. Or some crappy Videogame-Voiceover from the early 2000s, while in german you often can't even tell it's dubbed. But for german's not beeing funny: Yeah, we don't even have a SINGLE late night show here, that's how funny germans are in general.

Oh the to and fro banter..amazing

Man I remember having this episode on vcr, must’ve seen it a thousand times by now, this was for me the moment I realised Ryan Reynolds is hilarious!

Its the same thing with TV shows, particularly comedies. I remember watching Family Guy when I lived in Germany and they actually change the jokes for them to make more sense in whatever country their in, especially if its a joke that plays on words that rhyme or sound alike because in that countries language the words may not rhyme if translated directly and wouldn't make any sense.

Ryan reynolds is a guy that everyperson needs in their life.

I wonder if he looks back on this interview, and says, "Deadpool must be really popular in Germany."

Immediately after this he ran into Abigail Breslin leaving a taping of Jay Leno

Love Conan. His show is amazing

This interview is gold

I really adore his ability to tell stories well.

Language barriers go hand-in-hand with culture differences, when you learn a new language you also need to learn the culture that uses it. Speaking as an American learning Japanese, most things will translate, but if you don't learn the culture too, it won't translate well and everyone will have a bad time.

The thing about any kind of humor, but especially sarcasm and irony, is that you need to know about the cultural background in which the joke is made. That's why comedy/humor in a foreign language/country is about the biggest challenge in learning that language there is.
