Belgians

Miserable Fat Belgian Bastards

I thought the names of the people who sent in the entries was the joke really. I enjoyed it.

You do realize there's a difference between a satire of racism by a comedy troupe and having racist caricature going out on an official corporate communication, right?

Yes

Thank you that was the joke.

I am sure you can call any Northern European group any number of names and it will be viewed as acceptable banter.

However, as you move southward, there are increasing problems.

So glad I grew up in a time when you could have Monty Python, Benny Hill and Blazing Saddles. Nowadays, everyone is in such a race to get their panties in a bunch, that comedy gold like those acts will never happen again.

 

[Mister CIA]

Wawful.

 

[El Floppo]

'Cause Belgians are stupid and fat right?

Stoopit Belgians.

 

[Corporation]

It's only offensive in that it is horribly unfunny. I've never liked Monty Python (cue "You just don't get it")

Fine. Humor is a personal thing but there's not a lot of material about Belgium

Many years ago, A Dutch friend and I were trying to decide what to call Belgians, and settled on "the Belsch." Belgians are the traditional butt of Dutch jokes. We were almost certainly drunk at the time. The name stuck and I still use that term to this day. It doesn't seem as funny now.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

In Bruges is a pretty good movie.

Now that is offensive.

The irony here is that Belgian Waffles as they exist here are nothing like waffles in Belgium. My relatives in Belgium make fun of what we call Belgian Waffles.

I also heard that our French fries are different than those served in France.

That's because ours are made with freedom.

Not particularly, but French fries really should be called Belgian Fries because they originated in what is now Belgium.

Mayonnaise is the only condiment that belongs on fries, not Best Foods mind you, but the good homemade ####.

My wife was firmly in this camp but lately she has switched to smothering them in ketchup. Not sure why, I'll have to ask her.

She had a full hysterectomy 15 years ago so not really a possibility.

sorry, I was offsides on that one

 

[NCCommish]

Please no apology is needed. Seriously no harm no foul.

 

[MC Gas Money]

Im probably in a very small minority but I love their films and dont like their show.

I didnt find this sketch the least bit offensive or funny

 

[Eephus]

Mrs Eephus has had problems with fibroids for years. It's serious business.

But she won't eat ketchup on fries.

I'm the opposite. I prefer the bizarre discontinuity of the TV shows to the more plot driven movies.

Sorry to hear that. My wife had Endometriosis. It was so bad her ovaries were attached to the back of her rib cage. Her doctor is the regional expert on the disease and said he had never seen anything close to it. We tried Laparoscopy twice. There was just nothing else to be done. I wish Mrs E all the best.

And now for something completely different...

 

[Amused to Death]

Highly offensive. But not nearly as offensive as the Australian Philosophy Department.
