Actually kinda needed that punch in the arm. Thanks, bud, though I doubt my content will be nearly as dank as some of your Roman contributions. I shall try!

The Dutch and the French both have many Belgian jokes (all along the lines that Belgians are dumb), but the funny thing is that many of the jokes actually originate from Belgium itself. They are jokes by the Flemish and Walloons making fun of each other that are then generalized to Belgians as a whole by the Dutch and French.

We still hold a bit of a grudge against them for having let the Germans pass without saying anything during WWII and also because they claim to have invented fries. We tease them but we still like them.

This is like when we Danes tell jokes about Swedes and Norwegians, I assume.

Like this: How many Norwegians to change a light bulb in the ceiling?

Answer

Three; one to hold the lightbulb and two to carry them while going in circles.

Raised in Maryland, same kinds of jokes we tell about West Virginia, lmao.

A West Virginian boy got mad at a Marylander, so he threw a stick of dynamite at the Maryland boy. The Marylander picked it up, lit it, and threw it back.

FYI, spoilers don’t work like Reddit (or at least not on my web client.) Try doing it the way Limfjorden did:

Or the Bavarians tell about Austrians.

Lightbulb jokes are universal, only the target changes. The Bavarians have some long-form jokes (β€œTwo Austrians go on vacation to the Sahara…”) that I’d never heard before going to Germany.

In case anyone is wondering, the joke (actually) goes:

Two Bavarians go on vacation to the Sahara and quickly find themselves bored. Being German, they decide to do something constructive, and decide to build a bridge from whatever scrap wood they can find. Two weeks pass in happy industry, but as they’re flying home, the first slaps his head and says, β€œWe have to go back!” β€œWhy,” asks the second. β€œBecause we signed our names on it, and if anyone finds we built a bridge in the desert, we’ll never hear the end of it!” says the first.

So they switch planes and head back. As they near the bridge, the first says: β€œStay here, and I’ll go check the coast is clear,” and he heads off over the dunes. A while later, he returns, crestfallen. β€œWe are undone,” he cries, β€œa couple of Austrians found our bridge already!” β€œWhat are they doing,” asks the second. The first answers:
β€œFishing off it.”
