This is the case for every country. You just see it with the US a lot more since it of course has the biggest footprint on the English-language side of the internet.

Not even close. Also doesn’t help that 'muricans have a very distorted view on how their country is perceived

I think most of us on the internet hear about it constantly and it’s pretty hard not to understand how we are perceived.

According to one source, the only media that for a long time made it into the states is media that the US government approves of. I could go into detail about it, but it shows up quite prominently in this video.

I think other countries are a lot more open to self deprecation as part of their humour / culture. Not saying there aren’t some examples of this in America, it just doesn’t seem to be as prevalent as in British comedy for example.
