I hate to be that guy - but I’m interested in the data for this map? Or is it made up based on vibes?
Based on Vibes.
Italians apparently just joke about each other
If you aren’t italian. You can’t even imagine the animosity between south and north italy. And frankly, in most cases it falls into essentially racism. Even between two adjacent cities. It’s appalling.
The joke about Estonians is that they are slow.
I’m surprised that italy counts as making fun of itself but not turkey.
I read a shitload of turkish joke books growing up, and the most prominent type of joke is about people from the north (Laz Jokes). I don’t remember any greek jokes.
Here’s a sample.
Dursun goes to the US. He gets rich. He calls his friend Temel , and says “oooooh man, you need to come here. even if you just pick up the money on the pavement, you’ll be rich!” . Temel goes to the US, and as soon as he steps out the airport, he sees a quarter on the ground. He exclaims “I’ve only been here 2 minutes and I already found my first job!”
Temel and Dursun are stock characters from the north.
Sweden and Germany really ganged up on. Who is Croatia making fun of?
Scandinavian banter 101:
- When one country rips on another country, the 3rd country usually joins on the side of the offender.
Scandinavian banter 201:
- It’s usually between Danes and Swedes, with Norway either getting the popcorn or joining the offense.
- We rarely see the Finns join in, but they’re welcome if they want to.
Scandinavian banter, graduation:
- Sweden is obviously the inferior country.
EDIT: But if anyone outside of Scandinavia were to mock, for example, the swedes, we’ve got their backs. I recall something said a while back when Sweden wanted to join NATO, and Erdigan was raising a stink: “Sweden sucks balls. But Erdogan can gargle more of them”.
Just for the record: I know many swedes, most of whom are wonderful people.
Swede here, I don’t agree that we are the inferior country, but we are absolutely the teachers pet of Scandinavia, and deserve to be mocked like hell for that.
Haven’t heard many jokes about Poland since the 90s maybe early 2000s in Germany.
Really? Car theft jokes are still fairly popular in my experience.
