    Make a joke about the British, they’re like “Yeah we do drink a lot of tea did a lot of imperialism, and our food sucks”

    Make a joke about the French, and they’re like “ho ho, we are rude and love wine non?”

    Make a joke about the Italians, and they’re like “Ay, we do love a pizza, and can’t fight a war!”

    Make a joke about Americans, and there’s always the “WHY DO YOU GUYS MAKE FUN OF US! NO FAIR! WHY DO PEOPLE THINK ITS FUNNY TO HATE US?!?”

      Only one of these four groups have been dunked on incessantly for years upon years with the same three jokes.

        Yeah…it’s the French and capitulating to the Nazis, and they still take it better than Americans and any criticism

      Make a joke about Americans being fucking idiots and don’t expect Americans to laugh along. I mean what do you expect? Yeah we drink a lot of coffee and did slavery and use little creamer cups and eat lots of fried food and spend too much on our military. Americans, right? This? No thanks.

      its also as if you’re being disingenuous, because try to say that shit to some hardcore right wing patriots of any country and see how fast you get your faced caved in.

      I’ve experienced only the opposite. Americans love self deprecating humor but Yuros will literally cry about you “abusing my country” if you say one negative thing.
