    seriously not

    Is your country usually associated with a joke of some sort?

    New Zealand with doing it with sheep, France with eating snails and so on.
     
    In America, does milk really come in jugs? o.o

    Hehe, there are a tonne of Canada jokes. Too many that I could ever think of.

    Apparently we all live in igloos, drink beer, like hockey, have pet polar bears, and say things like "eh?" and "aboot." While in reality, only one of those apply to me. Can you guess what it is, eh? :P

    I've only ever heard "aboot" from Americans faking a Canadian accent, btw. =P
     
    I live in the United States of America, where every human (and every human fetus, arguably) is believed to be obese and people run around as George Bush for Halloween.

    What do you think?

    Pretty much XD

    Other than that, I gather that other people think that we're kind of ignorant. I heard that a lot of European countries hate us for whatever reason. C'mon...We're not that bad, are we? =P
     
    Texas used to be a country, so you can't stop me :0.

    Not all of Texas is filled "howdy's" and "Y'all!"'s, and it usually associated with hyperactive cowboys that seem to be crossbred between Mexicans and Barney's tail.

    Seriously, these stereotypes are only gonna get the accent right in everything, no more.
     
    Oh wow i thought uh-oh ignorant thread coming up but nah its not.So jokes about my country. I dunno except for the fact that greece might be a bit too well known for the goat cheese. Oh wait yes we have the worst of all. Sexual interaction with goats. I dont think a joke can get any more lame then that.

    Apparently Australian people ride Kangaroo's to work/school. :D

    Somebody actually asked me if I did that once. The funniest part is, he was completely serious about it. xD

    A few more concerning Australians include the fact that we all have pet koalas and wombats. Oh, and we all hate New Zealand, apparently.
     
    Well, I've been asked if I only wear green, if I have red hair and if I'm the size of a hobbit.
     
    My uncle, who lives in America, thinks Australians all eat Kangaroo meat. I farted once, and apparently, my uncle knew it was me because he could smell the kangaroo meat.

    People also think we have kangaroos hopping about on our roads. Do you think a coyote would be caught on the streets of one of those desert capitals in the USA? I think not.
     
    The sheep thing i thought was for greece besides goats lol.
     
    Like, all Dutch people use drugs and wear 'those silly wooden shoes'.

    Not really... but I know people who think/thought so.

    That's why everyone thinks we are so strange...
     
    I don't know about everyone else, but my cousins live in Canada and when we visit, yes they do have their milk in a bag, though the chocolate milk comes in a carton, which I don't completely understand, but you can get white milk in bags.

    Not to mention that the whole country is orange now and then :B (You heard it from a neighbour from the south). *waves to the north*

    Uhum, yes, my country. I once read a text in English class about stereotypes, things associated with Belgians: They're beer drinkers (I don't even like alcohol), We like to eat (specially the flemish - true that :3) and Belgian's are tax dodgers (apparently we're proud to do so, but it doesn't work XD), We are hardworking. (Our national standards are okay, but we earned it. :<)
    Other things I heard:

    French is the only language spoken in Belgium (WHAT! People in the south of France should learn that above the language border there's a part that speaks DUTCH).
    Belgium is larger than Brussels. :B (this comes from a story that says that when a foreigner asks where you come from and you say Belgium, they say "what?", when you say Brussels, they say: Oh!)

    And there are probably a lot more...

    And ah, some people in holland still use: "those wooden shoes"

    Drugs think is only for amsterdam, and is partly true, everybody there has used it at least once....
     
    Apparently the United States are all fat, stupid people who have a cowboy as a President?

    Funny.
