Belgian joke



1. You get to speak three languages, but none of them intelligibly.

2. If other countries want to fight a war, they will do it in your country.

3. You can brew drinks out of fruit, and still call it beer.

4. You are either
a. like the Dutch, just less efficient
b. like the French, just less romantic
c. like the Germans

5. Decent fries. Real mayonnaise. Great chocolate. The best beer.

6. No one knows anything about you, except for the Dutch and French and they make fun of you.

7. More scandals in a week than any other country in a decade.

8. You can drive like a maniac on the road and nobody cares

9. All your famous countrymen are either imaginary, or sex-offenders

10. Face it. It's not really a country, is it?

Let's face it!
that's the general ideas that french people have of belgian's.
"They're not a country!"How many times have we been saying that?Honestly...
they're nice people, eating fries and chocolate, drinking beers...
But did you know that they have the same kind of jokes about us?

"Pourquoi les Français ont-ils choisi le coq comme emblème ?
C'est le seul animal capable de chanter les pieds dans la merde. "

"Pourquoi les Français aiment-ils tant les histoires belges ?
Parce qu'elles les font rire trois fois :
La première quand on les leur raconte
La deuxième quand on les leur explique,
et la troisième quand ils les comprennent ."

Sorry I didn't found any in english but well, I just wanted to give a glimpse of the kind of jokes that they make about us,
do you know any?
please if you do, share it with us!

  1. I think you are right to say that Belgian people are nice people. I really like them. They are friendly and it is very pleasant to travel in Belgium. If you eat in a restaurant, the portions are much more generous...the motorways are free and enlighted !

  2. marilena when you say enlighted, I think you might mean illuminated?

    P.S. ironically, the best place to find French fries is England!! yes indeed. actually we just have a different style: we like our fries to be chunky fat things, maybe 5x thicker than a McDo chip...

  4. During my japanese studies, I had a few belgium classmates(it seems there is no university course of japanase there) and they are really friendly people. Belgium seemed to be such a cool place full of funny people that, at that time, I wanted the north of France to be annexed by Belgium!

  6. I just have to say that I love belgium. I spent most of my life really really close to this wonderful country (5 mns by walk), and it is just surprising: people are just so nice, so smiling, so... generous!
    In belgium, if you order a crepe, they bring you 2.
    If you order a "big" coffee, they look at you as if you were an ET, because the coffee is always big.
    And if you order a cocktail in that famous bar "le quai des bananes", in Tournai, then you'll have to drink a whole alcohol vase.
    And that is wonderful...
