“What is the nature of Grape-Nuts? They are neither grapes nor nuts. And so, the sad farce continues.” – Hans Beinholt, German Ambassador to the United Nations.
Really, he said this. He was visiting the Colbert Report, on July 11th, and doing stand-up comedy. Apparently, he’s done this before. I thought he was very funny, in a kind of dark, nihilistic way.
Embedded below is the clip from the Colbert Report that includes his routine – it’s pretty short. It starts at around 3:15 in the clip. [UPDATE: The original link rotted, but I found the German’s part as a youtube post.]
I laughed at all his jokes.
