You can use a generic joke 'Do you know what they call beautiful women in (target country)?

Do you know what they call beautiful women on Imgur?
Ulthirm
Depends on the time of day you post your image
schneeeman
I'm pretty sure Germans make more fun of France
Gaehhn
Probably depends on where you are, Bavarians joke a lot about the Austrians as well.
dantonic
As an Italian. The jokes are either about how Italians always come out on top vs someone from a different country...
dantonic
Or they are regarding rivaling parts of the nation, eg, the north makes fun of the south and vice versa.
singedrino
That happens on Spain too. North and south... it's like there is barrier.
Curii
Irish? The Irish? Why would we joke about the Irish when we have France to kick? With a side order of Germany?
Deadpoolio7
I reckon even Argentina would be above Ireland these days
SlightlyNormal
There is no way in hell that Sweden jokes about France most, Sweden barely cares about them. It should be either Denmark or Norway.
Izanami95
it's probably Norway from my experience with swedes.

Was looking for this comment. We make fun of especiallt norwegians all the time!
nordnorge
Same about u in norway. We also joke alot about southern norway here up north, we think their pussies just like u
adelhjort
But that is the Norwegian flag.
IUpvoteArt
I think its a poorly croped norwegian flag
avocadoodies
Nah Norway has red-white-blue-white-red. Like Denmark with an extra blue stripe. (Thnx for colonising us ya bastards)
avocadoodies
Wait, you might be right now that I take a closer look.
SlightlyNormal
..Man that's a shitty crop, but you might be right.

I see a small part of southern sweden and that we make jokes about what looks like the french. Its about danes, finns and norweigans. 1/2

Croatia and Serbia joke about Bosnia, but Bosnia jokes about Germany? I am intrigued.
etn4
Balkan people mostly go to Germany to earn money. In Bosnia, I'd say that half of the population left for Germany.
etn4
So that would be the joke connections. Making fun of "leavers" and their precious "Germany" and their "BMW's" etc.
azoomernamedalex
Honestly, im actually albanian, ans i see that albania and greece joke with each other
azoomernamedalex
At least we have turkey joking about greece too
AxelTenveils
Some or even many of the stuff is really bad that they say about Albania. Like racist level, and in my opinion shameful.
HER4KLES
I'm canadian with greek grandparents. They joke about Turks the most but Albania is second. When my dad introduced them to my sisters boyfri
HER4KLES
They said he was half turkish half Albanian
soundscape462
Cyprus is Europe and it doesn’t have any color

Obviously the Turkish half doesn't let the Greek half joke about anything.
soundscape462
Yeah cause they’ll invade again. But turkey isn’t a part of Europe. Map got that wrong too. Why? Republic or northern cyprus bull crap
Plegeritis
Swiss here, we do make jokes about Austria? They don't seem to be relevant enough to be joked about...
TopHatApe
yeah, but what does that say about us Swiss, not being relevant enough to be joked about
Plegeritis
Well it is true that nobody in Europe actually cares about Switzerland. We're probably seen as we see Lichtenstein. Some friendly neighbour.
LicenselessRiderEntersTheScene
As an Italian I can confirm this. We are deeply attached to our hometown and usually hate the neighbouring one, this dating back to the 1/

Middle age when all of Italy was divided in small countries, hence developing this sense of superiority against everyone else. 2/

DreadZeppelin
Hi neighbour, I don't really care about football but for the whole of the Netherlands that cuts deep =P
kingkongkeom
All dutchie jokes in germany are either about football or your obsession with campers, & maybe a bit about weed & cheese, all in good fun /1
kingkongkeom
Of course....Germany and the Netherlands --> one people, two countries! Love your country, even have a Dutch godmother :)

German's are pretty rough on the Dutch. Also Poland jokes about Russians way more than Germans.

mattbl
As a dumb American, this might be funny if I knew more than 50% of the countries on that map. Although, I'd challenge an average European 1/
mattbl
to be able to label of map of US states. 2/2
singedrino
That's not so difficult, the capitals of the states... that's at least tricky. I had a game with my workmates, we had a world map in our ->
singedrino
rest room, had capitals and flags. I used to tell my mates to point a country, and I will tell them the capital and flag or point a flag ->
singedrino
and I will tell them the country and capital. We had a lot of fun bcos I think I failed just once with Haiti and Liechtenstein's flags
Ulthirm
I used to play a similar game except with the grand flag hall at my college, I lost to Wales (TBF I'll never forget that flag now) and Guam
LunaticLegostone
To be fair, I know enough Europeans that couldn't label a complete european map either.
HumfreeBugart
I think everybody knows Americas state, terrible
Lifrah
You cant compare countries with states
mattbl
Ah but that is misunderstanding the way states in the US work. They're not autonomous, by any means, but have a lot of independence from 1/2
mattbl
the federal government. That was entirely the point when the US was founded. 2/2
Lifrah
Sure and I couldnt compare them to federal states of any other country. But for example Nevada cant be compared with the 1/2
Lifrah
Historical influence and cultural diversity of e.g. Croatia, Slovakia or Denmark - though they are geographically smaöl countries.
Ulthirm
Sure you can. My state is larger than some of the countries on this map and thus far every European I've met has successfully called us
Lifrah
Yet politically and culturally you cant, your states are part of one country with one united history. Size does not always matter
Ulthirm
I disagree with both of those statements but I'm not in the mood to make this argument with you because the likely end result is that no
Ulthirm
Nevada on the map :3

Larger population, income, and land mass wise that is.

NotMe831
Was @ Aviano AB. Our person who was teaching us about Italian culture talked soo bad about the South it was uncomfortable
M4k0ch4n
I'm sorry to hear that. Probably, she/he was an ignorant and "racist", there is a huge difference between joking and insulting.
NotMe831
Yeah he went about how the North pays to taxes to take care of them and also that's where the mafia is from and what not.
M4k0ch4n
A classic. It's a political strategy: if you think that the south is the only bad guy, you can't see the rest. And mafia? it's everywhere..
Pulsar1975
We dont hate each other.. we bitterly dislike the south.
Lollooooo
Those damn lazy Italians... Wait a sec
kingkongkeom
As a German...we joke as much about France, the UK, and the Netherlands as we joke about Poland, just the themes differ.
catsandcoke
Everyone jokes aboutFrance
TheOneWhoWasLeft
We joke about Bavaria, and Bielefeld. That's it.
JKubuz
As a Pole, we usually joke about Germans and Russians. We even have this joke genre with a German, A Russian, and a Pole doing something 1/2

similar to jokes with Christians, Muslims, and Jews that I'm sure you're all familiar with. 2/2
kingkongkeom
As a German living in poland, I know alm about your jokes! Polish jokes about germans-->ugly women! German jokes about poles-->thiefs! :)
JKubuz
Yeah, I'm sorry for that because those jokes about German women can be really hurtful, I think :/ I hope you don't mind too much tho!
kingkongkeom
As a guy it doesnt strike me much, and it is a joke after all. And let be honest, the quantity of quality of pretty girls here is unreal. /1

It also depends on which nation's the closest. I'm Bavarian and my husband and I joke mostly about Italy...
BayazTheBenevolent
Lately, mostly the US though.
RedCamaro
Any country that can joke about themselves is a good country
vorodar
I thought most jokes are national jokes. It only makes sense to make this map by excluding those.
discotheque42
Have you looked at the USA recently? Lots of joking, not sure that it's healthy joking though
RedCamaro
Just a short term setback
Zeiserl
I advice you to look into Italian humor and reevaluate that statement... They're not making jokes about themselves but about each other.
DotcoreJetkill
Yeah hungarians joe a lot about the "scottish". And by "scottish" I mean the jews
muggybonehead
Well, at least you’re honest
sdrawkcabmIpleH
I used to know a few jokes involving a Scot, a Jew and a Romanian. But nowadays only the Scot part can be said aloud.

heard more than one time around the whole country "Portugal is the zoo of Spain"
singedrino
YEAH, who the fuck jokes about Portugal? What does "Maginot Line" mean in French?
Caution, speed bump.
Anarch157a
We Brazilians do, mostly because they used to be our colonial overlords, so we do it to make ourselves feel better.
sturmhauke
Alternative explanation - the Maginot Line was the most fearsome turtle defense ever, so the Germans just went around it.
sturmhauke
They nearly got fatally jammed up in the Ardennes though. If the French had paid more attention, they could have fucked the German advance.

an Englishman, a Frenchman and a Spaniard walk into a situation. First two brag about their countries. Spaniard somehow wins in the joke.
