What do you reckon is the funniest country in the world, just when people mention it?

I'd have to say Poland. Something funny about Poland. And Laos (thanks you, King of the Hill).

and so that picture of the new pope. it looks like he's trying to use "eye beams"

in fact, many people in Poland arew making fun of the pope for that and because of his abysmal Polish.

A little rhyme for all the food related countries out there

Austria was Hungary,
So it took a bit of Turkey
Dipped it in Greece
Fried it in Japan
and ate it off China


Havnt found a way to squeeze Chile in yet

I can't decide.
Switzerland, especially when people say "wartime Switzerland". Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

France is used in many jokes. According to jokes, the French:
smell
are cowardly
are weak
are hated by everyone(especially Americans)
hate everyone(especially Americans)
eat nasty stuff, like frog legs, snails, and the smelliest cheeses around

Poland gets joked about alot.

Hell, I can't go a day without hearing a somewhat offensive joke about the US and its citizens

Japan is pretty funny.. legendary gameshows and odd parades and such.. robots... square watermelons.. etc.

Then again, if you saw a crowd gathered in the street and applauding an old man rolling around in an inflatable kiddie-pool filled with urine and feces, you'd know you were in Germany. Probably not Japan. So Germany gets runner-up.

The vatican only gets away with it because Italy lets them. Like San Marino. Same with Monaco and France, or Luxembourg and germany. (Tho' that last one prolly has a bit to do with how WWII turned out).

You can bet if they were in the middle of England they wouldn't get away with that shit.

The USA of course!
Whether it is Dubbaya eating pretzels, Monika Lewinski smoking Billy, Paris Hilton (I simply laugh nowadays when I see her name), Arnold Schwarzy, Tom Cruise & his scientology sh*te, or the average yank not knowing anything about geography (eg. pinpointing Iran on a map, while indicating Australia) or international affairs (eg. who is Tony Blair?)... I generally get lots of laughs in an average week thanks to the US. More so even then Belgium & Poland.
Although Poland scores a lot of points, with their tourism campaign in Germany saying "Come visit Poland, probably your car is already there".

Definately Bosnia-Herzegovina, don't know why though.
Because you have to laugh about ethnic cleansing or cry for days on end?

Oh and I'd say "South Ossetia", because it sounds like a type of otter or another, and otters are great.

Countries in which a lot of funny people live?

Urmm probably the Netherlands. Most Dutch people have a good sense of humour.

Although the Finns also have a great sense of humour, too.

Here are a couple of typical Finnish jokes.

Two men go out to the woods, with a bottle of vodka in each hand, and sit down on a couple of logs.

One man says to the other "so how's work lately".

The other replies "Did we come out here to drink, or to talk like old women?"



A more patriotic one ahead :

Two Finnish Jaegers are skiing through the woods, and the on in front spots a Soviet camp.

"Damn Juni, there are a hundred or so Russians ahead"
"So what, we can take them all out"
"I know, I'm just thinking about how much effort it'll take to bury them all"

I agree. Apart from with the Vatican. There is a very good reason why the seat of one the world's most influential religions should not be controlled as a territory of another sovereign nation... especially one with a history of Fascism.

Being a Pole, I'm glad to see that so many of you see my country as funny:)
We are also the most advanced technologically nation in the world: we clone our politicians (one (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaros%C5%82aw_Kaczy%C5%84ski) and the another (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lech_Kaczy%C5%84ski)) and the government is radio controlled (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Maryja) :D

Talking about which nation we believe to be funniest, I'd say our neighbours the Czech. Our languages are very similar, but many words in one sound silly in the another.
