In this day and age, we need a little more humor in our lives.
Quote: Self-deprecation is a form of humor in which people or comedians make jokes about themselves, their shortcomings, or their culture, usually without being guided by any underlying self-esteem issues.
The boundaries for this kind of humor are often more relaxed than for other kinds of humor. For example, whereas a Jewish joke told by a non-Jew may be considered anti-semitic and offensive, the same joke told by a Jew may be taken in good humor. The ability to laugh at oneself and the absurdities in one’s own culture is often considered a good character trait.
Many comedians use self-deprecating humor to avoid seeming arrogant or pompous, and to help the audience identify with them. A number of comics, including Conan O’Brien, Phyllis Diller, Rodney Dangerfield, Jon Stewart, Woody Allen, David Letterman, Seth Neller, Larry David, Dave Hughes, and, later in his career, George Burns - built their entire acts around their own perceived unattractiveness, weight, age and/or lack of appeal to the opposite sex.
Self-deprecation can also be used to better oneself in social situations.
Self deprecating humor is a way of Australian life, To share this great (and amusing) knowledge I will provide a little demonstration...
The scene is set, the night is cold, the campfire is burning and the stars twinkle in the dark night sky...
Three hang-glider pilots, one from Australia, one from South Africa and the other from New Zealand, are sitting round a campfire near Ayers Rock, each embroiled with the bravado for which they are famous.
A night of tall tales begins....
Kiven, the kiwi says, "I must be the meanest, toughest heng glider dude there us. Why, just the other day, I linded in a field and scared a crocodile thet got loose from the swamp. Et ate sux men before I wrestled ut to the ground weth my bare hends end beat ut’s bliddy ’ed un.
Jerry from South Africa typically can’t stand to be bettered. "Well you guys, I lended orfter a 200 mile flight on a tiny treck, ind a fifteen foot Namibian desert snike slid out from under a rock and made a move for me. I grebbed thet borsted with my bare hinds and tore it’s head orf ind sucked the poison down in one gulp. Ind I’m still here today".
Barry the Aussie remained silent, slowly poking the fire with his penis.
See? Everyone feels better after a little self deprecating humor!
Post something Self-Deprecating about yourselves, your shortcomings, or your culture... Just remember to take other people’s postings in good humor and everyone will have fun.

I do it all the time, people ask me why.
Okay...
Italian Jokes
The World’s Funniest Italian Joke Site
Have you ever seen an Italian nativity scene?
It has Jesus, Mary, and three wise guys.
Q: What’s the difference between an Italian grandmother and an elephant?
A: 50 pounds and a black dress.
At the World Women’s Conference, the first speaker from England stood up:
"At last year’s conference we spoke about being more assertive with our husbands. Well after the conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer cook for him and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had cooked a wonderful roast lamb."
The crowd cheered.
The second speaker from America stood up:
"After last year’s conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer do his laundry and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I saw that he had done not only his own washing but my washing as well."
The crowd cheered.
The third speaker from Italy stood up:
"After last year’s conference I went home and told my husband that I would no longer do his shopping and that he would have to do it himself. After the first day I saw nothing. After the second day I saw nothing. But after the third day I could see a little bit out of my left eye."
A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.
The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following:
"Emma come first.
Den I come.
Den two asses come together.
I come once-a-more.
Two asses, they come together again.
I come again and pee twice.
Then I come one lasta time."
"You foul-mouthed swine, " retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country we don’t talk about our sex lives in public!"
"Hey, coola down lady," said the man.
"Who talkin’ abouta sexa? I’m a justa tellin’ my frienda how to spella Mississippi."

Tyrant was the only one who actually got the idea of this thread... You dont make jokes about others, you make jokes about yourselves!
BTW Fuck you Grunter, Australia has more culture than New Zealand.
