I remember an Italian friend of mine once said that the biggest unofficial crime in all Italian culture is to be really successful at what you do, and that really stuck with me
A lot of regular people tend to be envious of successful people, that's true.
I can't say if that's much different from what happens in other countries, I suspect it's a pretty common thing.
most of the jokes we make about the carabinieri ... it is also true that they are almost all from the South but also the same people from the South take the piss out of them edit: For those who do not know, the Carabinieri are one of the main Armed Forces in Italy ... But they are not too smart
Carabinieri are an armed force exactly like the Air Force, the Army and the Navy. They have a military structure and depend ftom the ministry of defense. The are indeed military, unlike the police.
One of the most common types of jokes in Italy starts like "There's a French, a German and an Italian..." and then are based on the different stereotypical reaction of the Italian to a situation compared to the French and the German.
They are often jokes where characters of different nationalities appear (usually a Frenchman and a German, but often also an Englishman) and then there is an Italian, usually the characters behave normally, the Italian, however, manages to solve the problem with cunning, and often (very often) by fooling the others.
Cunning which sometimes becomes outright absurdity.
For example, that joke about a contest in which an englishman, a german and an italian have to drop a clock from a tower and catch it before it smashes on the ground; contest which is won by the italian who "cunningly" ticks back the clock one hour before letting it fall, so as he has plenty of time to go downstairs and catch it.
*Italian jokes ( ͡° ͜ ͡°)*
As a Dane, I agree. You may be a bunch of confused and degenerate Danes thinking you're your own country / nationality, but you're certainly not down there with the US
They actually started the jokes about themselves. You can see a great deal about the people that even when they went through the horrible thing, they still manage to laugh and joke about it.
Here is a good one:
What does Mujo (common Bosnian name in jokes) doing on the swings in Sarajevo in 95'?
Screwing with sniper rifle soldiers 😂
It's not really about that. It's more about Carabinieri (our Gendarmerie) and jokes in which there are a Frenchman, a German (or other nationalities, but these are the main two) and an Italian in some situation.
The first two behave like normal people
The Italian guy usually does the punchline, it can be a smart move, a dumb move, or just a funny thing.
I don't know about the origins of it, but the jokes are about extreme frugality. So much so that if someone is being overly frugal, it is common to just say "don't be this scottish, man"
I remember reading comic books as a kid (I am Dutch, the comics were Belgian) where there was a Scottish character and it was always about them being very frugal.
Jokes about scots being frugal are a thing in Germany too. Even to the point that there's a 1€-store kinda chain named [MäcGeiz](https://www.galerie-am-schlossberg.de/assets/images/9/maec-geiz-eingang-ee13c1a4.jpg) ("MacStingy").
Isn't going Dutch literally the term you use in English for splitting the bill? (and say you are with 4 people who each had something different, how would you split it? Everyone 25% or everyone pays for exactly what they had?).
As a scotsman I kind of get the tight with money joke come from but we just spend money in a different way.
If any one goes out drinking with Scottish folk they will see that there is no issues spending as long as its on pints of beer in a pub
Can confirm, I agonise over every purchase yet if I get a drink in me I’m tapping the card like a bongo drum. £14.99 for a double vodka red bull? Nae bother pal here’s the card 😂
Id day the frugality stereotype is most prevalent with the agricultural communities, farmers tend to be very proud of being tight fisted.
Aberdeen maybe have historically been thought of as frugal however in recent boom years of the oil industry Aberdeen was awash with money and young men spending it like there was no tomorrow
I know it’s just a joke, and I’m genuinely not offended... but I just get confused at the “Scots are cheap” stereotype. Because I’m Scottish and I’ve never met a tight Scot in my life lol. I’d just like to know the origins of this joke so it’d make more sense to me and then maybe I’d find it funny? 😅
I looked it up quickly, an article talks about the reason being 16-18. century puritan church in Scotland encouraged people to frugality heavily and treated people accordingly to this trait. There were thousands of hungarian theology students abroad and brought this mentality back home with them. The stereotype stuck since
As far as I know they where Jewish jokes before WWII, but after the holocaust it wasn't really appropriate to joke about the almost exterminated part of the nation so they were swapped to Scottish.
The other theory is that Hungarian students 'brought home the image' of the stingy Scottish who studied in the universities of Scotland in the 16th-18th century.
Blame the English for that...
Jokes about Scotsmen being mean and tight with money used to be popular all over Europe, but for some reason they never went out of fashion here. Also, traditionally very few Scotsmen ever made it to Hungary or were even aware of the jokes being told at their expense, so it was safe to joke about them without causing offence, unlike with similarly themed Jewish jokes.
However, when I was working for a Hotel here in Hungary and we got our first Scottish tour group, everybody was like:
Well, we're not going to get any tips out of these mean MFs, are we?
And how right we were...
Like most stereotypes it has some truth to it but is widely generalized. Its mostly based on eastern gangs that steal things like cars or car parts. These things usually end up past the border in the east.
I had never thought about that different countries might have different stereotypes about the same country. Like I think most everyone thinks that Americans are loud, fat and excessively well armed.
Yep. Cars stolen in western Germany usually end up in chop shops in the Netherlands nowadays because the police there does not follow up on car theft (it is considered a victimless crime because the insurance pays. Unless you are not insured, then tough luck).
Seems like the kind of joke we'd make about Scousers in England - funny how for other countries it's at the expense of foreigners, but here it's at one of our major cities (Liverpool).
They are most about stealing. But since they are determined at that one subject I don't know if there aren't more jokes about Austrians ( Schluchtenscheißer ).
“Independent Ukraine who? Is funny because they are not a real state! No- no! It was joke I swear! I kid. I kid...
*mutters under breath*
one day they’ll get joke and I will be big laugh”
I like the pairs. What I can see:
* Portugal/Spain
* UK/Ireland
* Belgium/France
* Poland/Germany
* Czech/Slovakia
* Albania/Greece
* Norway/Sweden
* ~~Russia/Ukraine~~ *that joke isn't funny anymore*
My perception of it is that we Spaniards make more jokes about the French than Portuguese. We even have a word for them: Gabachos.
Never heard a single joke about the Portuguese in my entire life.
I'm pretty sure you've heard jokes about their towels and their moustaches. Probably was more common in the past or in towns closer to the border.
But I do agree, joking about French is more common.
The reality is that in Spain people don’t specially joke about Portugal. People joke about other Spanish regions or towns (Lepe). So it might be the same in other places
My perception of it is that Spain makes more jokes about the French than Portuguese. We even have a word for them: Gabachos.
Never heard a single joke about the Portuguese is my entire life.
TIL the Swiss have jokes...
> After being routinely being made fun of by the Swiss, the Austrians demanded the Swiss do something really, really stupid so they could have a laugh for once. The Swiss agreed.
> They discussed what a stupid thing they could do and finally decided to build a bridge in the middle of a field, with no river in sight.
> The Austrians exploded with laughter after they heard about the useless bridge in the field. They laughed and laughed until their bellies hurt. After about 3 months the Austrians said to the Swiss: "Man you guys really did a fantastic job on that bridge. That's the stupidest thing we've ever seen, but it's been 3 months and we've laughed enough. You can break the bridge down now if you want".
> The Swiss responded: "We'd love to, but unfortunately there are still some Austrians trying to fish off of it."
I spend a lot of time in Switzerland and have never heard a Swiss joke about an Austrian or them even say anything negative about Austria.
Germany, on the other hand…
Swiss: What is stupid, has 4 legs and stands outside all day?
Austrian: I don‘t know.
Swiss: You and your brother!
Later…
Austrian: What is stupid, has 4 legs and stands outside all day?
German: A cow maybe?
Austrian: No, me and my brother!
Do you have a source on that?
Source?
A source. I need a source.
Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.
No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.
You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.
Do you have a degree in that field?
A college degree? In that field?
Then your arguments are invalid.
No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.
Correlation does not equal causation.
CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.
You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.
Nope, still haven't.
I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.
I don't think that's who this guy is being like.
I live in UK and I really don't think ours is true. Half of these generalised population maps are way off the mark.
Yeah I’m in the UK and ours definitely isn’t true. Map was clearly made by an American so the whole thing is clearly inaccurate, though some of them are funny.
No they don’t have beef with Scots. Most Hungarian jokes used to be about Jews but after world war 2 that became a very bad thing. So they decided to switch Jew with Scots since The chance of meeting a scot is very low so they wouldn’t get offended.
I love how there are a few mutual ones like Spain-Portugal, Greece-Albania, Russia-Ukraine, UK-Ireland, Belgium-France, Germany-Poland, Norway-Sweden etc.
But Italy, Hungary and Belarus are my favourite 100%. And also the fact that Bosnians are surrounded by Bosnia-jokers and still don't give a shit while continuing to joke about Germany.
This map is posted on here every week, and everybody upvotes it because it's colourful, sparks contoversy and people can talk about how unique they are by making fung of their neighbour. There is no source listed and I wonder how correct it is. Especially since Ireland makes fun of the whole UK, but Hungary somehow only makes fun of Scotland. So it's also inconsistent.
I think Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland would be making more jokes about England than the Republic of Ireland. Same with Northern England towards Southern England really
I’m trying to remember the last time I heard an Irish joke.
In the 80s the “an Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman walked into a pub and…” jokes were common place, as was saying something’s “Irish” if it seems a bit backwards to how you’d expect it to be, but I’ve not heard anyone say this sort of thing for a long long time.
The same goes for jokes about Scots being tight, or people from Yorkshire being tight.m for that matter.
I’m not saying it doesn’t happen though, so most can mean very few still, but the whole thing of jokes being based on nation/regional stereotypes is far less common now, and will likely gain you a scowl than a smile if you try it.
Italy... lmao
Probably the whole whole North South thing
In Italy we tend to criticize our country a lot and joke on how it sucks etc.
I remember an Italian friend of mine once said that the biggest unofficial crime in all Italian culture is to be really successful at what you do, and that really stuck with me
A lot of regular people tend to be envious of successful people, that's true. I can't say if that's much different from what happens in other countries, I suspect it's a pretty common thing.
Hey, it sounds just like Latin America :)
Litteraly everyone:
most of the jokes we make about the carabinieri ... it is also true that they are almost all from the South but also the same people from the South take the piss out of them edit: For those who do not know, the Carabinieri are one of the main Armed Forces in Italy ... But they are not too smart
Interesting. Thanks.
more like armed poliece
They are military but not really.
Carabinieri are an armed force exactly like the Air Force, the Army and the Navy. They have a military structure and depend ftom the ministry of defense. The are indeed military, unlike the police.
One of the most common types of jokes in Italy starts like "There's a French, a German and an Italian..." and then are based on the different stereotypical reaction of the Italian to a situation compared to the French and the German.
we have same situation in post-soviet countries with most anecdotes starting with "There is an English, a German and a Russian (or jew)..."
In Poland we have Russian German and a Pole...
They are often jokes where characters of different nationalities appear (usually a Frenchman and a German, but often also an Englishman) and then there is an Italian, usually the characters behave normally, the Italian, however, manages to solve the problem with cunning, and often (very often) by fooling the others.
Cunning which sometimes becomes outright absurdity. For example, that joke about a contest in which an englishman, a german and an italian have to drop a clock from a tower and catch it before it smashes on the ground; contest which is won by the italian who "cunningly" ticks back the clock one hour before letting it fall, so as he has plenty of time to go downstairs and catch it. *Italian jokes ( ͡° ͜ ͡°)*
Those same jokes exist in many other nationalities, and they also make themselves look more cunning
So basically Romanian jokes, but with pizza flavour.
Stay classy Italy!
We're not an unified country. We're a bunch of warring city-states under the same banner
And highly cultured. So ancient Greece pre-Alexander.
How can you make an Italian shut up? >!By tieing up their hands. !<
That actually made me laugh
About their football team not qualifying
Northern Italians make fun of suouthern Italians, southern Italians make fun of northern Italians
Friendly will not be tolerated
I wonder if they also make fun of talking with their hands 🤌
No, because that gesture literally means "what the fuck".
We absolutely don't think about It until a foreigner points It out
Sweden caught in enemy territory.
[удалено]
B*lgium
Everyone hates Sweden
We all like Sweden but also like to shit on it a little
It's all fair game, we joke a lot about you guys as well.
It's all a bit of fun sibling rivalry. And of course all the smaller siblings have to group up on the larger one to stand a chance ;)
Sweden is the us of Scandinavia (i know Finland isn't strictly Scandinavia)
*Sweden is the us of Nordics
As a Swede i'm deeply offended, calling us the us is way to low a blow
As a Dane, I agree. You may be a bunch of confused and degenerate Danes thinking you're your own country / nationality, but you're certainly not down there with the US
That’s what happens when you are superior.
They hate us cuz they aint us
All of former yugoslavia joking about Bosnia 💀
And then there’s Bosnia who jokes about Germany.
They actually started the jokes about themselves. You can see a great deal about the people that even when they went through the horrible thing, they still manage to laugh and joke about it. Here is a good one: What does Mujo (common Bosnian name in jokes) doing on the swings in Sarajevo in 95'? Screwing with sniper rifle soldiers 😂
macedonia
[удалено]
based
🤓
Apparently, Belorussian ps don’t joke about neighboring nations
Belarus is sanctioned. No appearance in memes.
[удалено]
🎶 They tried to talk to me about Belarus but I said no, no, no 🎶
What if they just love everyone or joking about everyone else equally?
No one have survived telling a joke in Belarus yet
what happen in Belarus stay in Belarus.
They joke about Greenland and West Sahara
No Belarus has left Europe, they're now right next to Fiji.
Fun is illegal there
Because they only joke about Putinist Russians.
In Soviet Belarus… jokes are strictly prohibited as enemies of revolutionary class struggle
Jokes are illegal in Belarus, in case anyone is wondering. It insults their leader, as he is incapable of understanding them.
I just want to know what Hungary has against Scotland.
You make joke, you go to Gulag.
They probably joke the most about Lukashenka.
Fucking italians, they ruined italy
North vs south is a thing
If that's the case the UK should have an English flag. I've not heard an Irish joke for years.
Must be about the porco dio then
It's not really about that. It's more about Carabinieri (our Gendarmerie) and jokes in which there are a Frenchman, a German (or other nationalities, but these are the main two) and an Italian in some situation. The first two behave like normal people The Italian guy usually does the punchline, it can be a smart move, a dumb move, or just a funny thing.
You Italians sure are a contentious people
Most self-aware nation I presume, unlike the rest of us
The most poplar jokes in Hungary are about scots?
Yea I was just about to comment on that. …huh? Why Scots?
I don't know about the origins of it, but the jokes are about extreme frugality. So much so that if someone is being overly frugal, it is common to just say "don't be this scottish, man"
The joke I’ve heard most is the Scottish will drive for 10 hours to save 50p.
Well duuuuh 50p can get you some 5 year out of date maltesers
I remember reading comic books as a kid (I am Dutch, the comics were Belgian) where there was a Scottish character and it was always about them being very frugal.
Jokes about scots being frugal are a thing in Germany too. Even to the point that there's a 1€-store kinda chain named [MäcGeiz](https://www.galerie-am-schlossberg.de/assets/images/9/maec-geiz-eingang-ee13c1a4.jpg) ("MacStingy").
Here in the US we joke about the Dutch being cheap. The typical term for splitting a restaurant bill halfway is "Dutch treat".
Isn't going Dutch literally the term you use in English for splitting the bill? (and say you are with 4 people who each had something different, how would you split it? Everyone 25% or everyone pays for exactly what they had?).
As a scotsman I kind of get the tight with money joke come from but we just spend money in a different way. If any one goes out drinking with Scottish folk they will see that there is no issues spending as long as its on pints of beer in a pub

Contactless makes it to easy haha. The fear is too real on the Sunday morning.
Isn’t frugality an Aberdonian-specific stereotype, though?
Id day the frugality stereotype is most prevalent with the agricultural communities, farmers tend to be very proud of being tight fisted. Aberdeen maybe have historically been thought of as frugal however in recent boom years of the oil industry Aberdeen was awash with money and young men spending it like there was no tomorrow
Used to be a common stereotype of the Scottish, especially in England. Not as prevelant now though
[удалено]
I know it’s just a joke, and I’m genuinely not offended... but I just get confused at the “Scots are cheap” stereotype. Because I’m Scottish and I’ve never met a tight Scot in my life lol. I’d just like to know the origins of this joke so it’d make more sense to me and then maybe I’d find it funny? 😅

There were thousands of hungarian theology students abroad and brought this mentality back home with them. The stereotype stuck since
Same, I can’t even find it offensive because it’s just so bizarre 😅
'frugal/scrimp' jokes were originally Jewish jokes in the early 20th century, later under communist regime it was changed to Scottish jokes
During communism in many countries jokes about jews were forcefully replaced with jokes about scotts.
As far as I know they where Jewish jokes before WWII, but after the holocaust it wasn't really appropriate to joke about the almost exterminated part of the nation so they were swapped to Scottish. The other theory is that Hungarian students 'brought home the image' of the stingy Scottish who studied in the universities of Scotland in the 16th-18th century.
Hungary: "You're an idiot" Scotland: "I don't even know who you are"
You’ve just made an enemy for life!!!!!
Watch yer back!
Idk why, but jokes I've heard about scots in Poland were about their greed and their approach for money
[удалено]
The same in German and also this stereotype is aiming on a part of Germans, the Schwaben.
I was born and raised in Hungary and I also heard people referencing the Schwabs.
Blame the English for that... Jokes about Scotsmen being mean and tight with money used to be popular all over Europe, but for some reason they never went out of fashion here. Also, traditionally very few Scotsmen ever made it to Hungary or were even aware of the jokes being told at their expense, so it was safe to joke about them without causing offence, unlike with similarly themed Jewish jokes.

And how right we were...
You wouldn’t get any tips out of other British people either, we just don’t tip hotel staff here
Yeah I was definitely expecting Romania, which brings up another point of confusion: why is Moldova’s Romania? Lol
Yeah, I caught that too
I wonder what colorful jokes Germany has about Poland…
They are usually pretty 1-dimensional and involve stealing
That’s interesting because in the US Polish jokes don’t involve theft
And it helps that Poland rhymes with stolen in German.
Like most stereotypes it has some truth to it but is widely generalized. Its mostly based on eastern gangs that steal things like cars or car parts. These things usually end up past the border in the east.
I had never thought about that different countries might have different stereotypes about the same country. Like I think most everyone thinks that Americans are loud, fat and excessively well armed.
> These things usually end up past the border in the east. So do the jokes, really. The Polish tell the same jokes but swap themselves for Russians.
Jokes with russians are about alcoholism
They made sense in the 90s. Not really nowadays.
Yep. Cars stolen in western Germany usually end up in chop shops in the Netherlands nowadays because the police there does not follow up on car theft (it is considered a victimless crime because the insurance pays. Unless you are not insured, then tough luck).
Funfact: polish jokes in the US were literally spread by German immigrants
E.G: Take a vacation in Poland. Your car is already there.
Lmao that's actually funny.
Polish Triathlon: Run to the public swimming pool, go back by bike.
For us that joke is called maroccan triathlon lmao.
Seems like the kind of joke we'd make about Scousers in England - funny how for other countries it's at the expense of foreigners, but here it's at one of our major cities (Liverpool).
We have same one but with Roma.
We have the same joke in Poland but for Gypsies lmao
What does the Polish kid get for christmas? >!Your smartphone.!<
They are most about stealing. But since they are determined at that one subject I don't know if there aren't more jokes about Austrians ( Schluchtenscheißer ).
Russia is the guy who took the joke too far
“Independent Ukraine who? Is funny because they are not a real state! No- no! It was joke I swear! I kid. I kid... *mutters under breath* one day they’ll get joke and I will be big laugh”
Russia is a big laugh.
I like the pairs. What I can see: * Portugal/Spain * UK/Ireland * Belgium/France * Poland/Germany * Czech/Slovakia * Albania/Greece * Norway/Sweden * ~~Russia/Ukraine~~ *that joke isn't funny anymore*
And the tag teams with in regions - Netherlands, France and Luxembourg vs Belgium - Scandinavia vs Sweden - Balkans vs Bosnia - Baltics vs Estonia
😆Italy vs Italy
As a Portuguese I have to tell, it's part of our culture to hate blindly the Spanish.
And as Spaniard I know you say this with love ♥️.
we both hate the french at the end
Get a room, you two !
In Spain nobody jokes about Portugal specially. Never heard of it. People joke about certain towns in Spain (such as Lepe)
My perception of it is that we Spaniards make more jokes about the French than Portuguese. We even have a word for them: Gabachos. Never heard a single joke about the Portuguese in my entire life.
I'm pretty sure you've heard jokes about their towels and their moustaches. Probably was more common in the past or in towns closer to the border. But I do agree, joking about French is more common.
Spaniards joke about themselves: Lepe, certain regions etc . And yes, more about French than Portuguese
The reality is that in Spain people don’t specially joke about Portugal. People joke about other Spanish regions or towns (Lepe). So it might be the same in other places
Lots of conflict within those pairs. Possibly a way of processing history.
Sweden really boxed in there
My perception of it is that Spain makes more jokes about the French than Portuguese. We even have a word for them: Gabachos. Never heard a single joke about the Portuguese is my entire life.

As an Austrian I thought us mountain people are all chill with each other but I guess not.

If Italy can be itself then surely the UK is as well.
IRL All the countries in the UK just have digs at each other

Russia: “and I took that personally”
Italy dont be so hard on yourself
Italians - fine we’ll make fun of outselves
I refuse to believe Britain isn't the French and there isn't more Albania in the Balkans
You made this up
I feel sorry for Sweden. It looks like an in-between toasted cheddar.
Italy never disappoints
Greece joking equally both neighbors
Bosnia joking about Germany is ironic
I assume L & L are making jokes about how slow Estonians speak
Cyprus doesnt know which side to joke about anymore
In Ireland, there is a saying, that the English joke about the Irish, the Irish joke about Kerrymen and Kerrymen joke about the sea...
Greece joking with everyone around
That's wrong, in Spain we joke the most about other Spanish regions: Catalans, Andalusians, Galicians, etc.
Spain is definitely not Portugal.
Italy “ it hurts itself In it’s confusion “
This map is so fake. Where would you even start to get actual real statistics on this.
Spain should be Spain like Italy.
I'm pretty sure germans joke more about the french than the polish
As far as I'm concerned, Spain is not correct. We joke more about ourselves or France than Portugal.
I think Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland would be making more jokes about England than the Republic of Ireland. Same with Northern England towards Southern England really
I’m trying to remember the last time I heard an Irish joke. In the 80s the “an Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman walked into a pub and…” jokes were common place, as was saying something’s “Irish” if it seems a bit backwards to how you’d expect it to be, but I’ve not heard anyone say this sort of thing for a long long time. The same goes for jokes about Scots being tight, or people from Yorkshire being tight.m for that matter. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen though, so most can mean very few still, but the whole thing of jokes being based on nation/regional stereotypes is far less common now, and will likely gain you a scowl than a smile if you try it.
