4 | Documentary miniseries produced by Creator/NationalGeographicChannel and Canal+, directed and hosted by Diego Buñuel (Grandson of renowned film director Luis Buñuel), in which he poses as a FunnyForeigner and ventures into countries which have bad reputations for being [[DeathWorld dangerous places]] in a light-hearted way. For every time he visits a country, he goes forth and debunks many of the myths and misconceptions from the country he visits, while hanging {{Lampshades}} all over the place in regard of the situation. |

18 | !!Tropes present in this show: |
19 | * AxesAtSchool: Lampshaded in the Pakistan episode. The Madrasah staff in that episode (jokingly) commented about getting e-mails about hiding AK-47's inside the building. |
20 | * BizarreAndImprobableGolfGame: Mentioned in Afghanistan, while playing golf on a run-down golf course with a local TV celebrity. |
21 | * [[CrapsackWorld Crapsack Country]]: Except for some relevant places and cities, every place featured here is this. |
22 | * FunnyForeigner: Diego plays with this trope at times. |
23 | * GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Happens in-universe during his trip to the Balkans, where a local {{sculptor|s}} shows Diego a {{sculpture|s}} of Creator/BruceLee, stating that it's a hero to every person in the city, regardless of ethnicity. |
24 | * IntrepidReporter: Diego fits this trope perfectly. Granted, before this show he was a war correspondent in Afghanistan and Iraq... |
