Remember Triumph the insult comic dog? He’s that puppet that appeared in Eminem’s ‘Ass Like That’ video. Basically, he’s hilarious. In this clip, he visits one of those all-time favourite American things – a beer festival. He takes a few jabs at craft beer, alcoholics, and men with moustaches. It’s a classic.

North Korea is extremely angry at Switzerland, because the land of watches, Cuckoo clocks and chocolate refused to sell the tiny nuclear dictatorship a line of ski lifts for a much-publicised ski resort.
