There’s something about the charisma of Italian people that make them so cool. That, mixed with their passion for food and music means you just gotta love ’em. They have many unique cultural signifiers. I’m sure I don’t even have to tell you what they are, but I also don’t need to, because here’s a list of a bunch of the best Italian jokes on the internet.
1) This Italian Fidget Spinner
And it’s multipurpose! Of course an Italian fidget spinner would be intrinsically linked to food. And not just any food, the world’s favourite Italian food: Pizza.
2) A Mythical Gesture
Italian folk are known for a few things and one of the pervasive stereotypes is the supposed pointed fingers gesture. I feel like seeing this in Scotland would make you second guess where you are!
3) The Premier Italian
Mario, possibly the the world’s cookie cutter idea of an Italian character. But did you know that if you zoom in really close, he’s fulfilling his obligation to do “Italian hand”.
4) Cappuccino Per Favore
It must be pretty difficult to pick up a coffee with Italian hands. Maybe that’s why they drink espresso from tiny cups, so the idea of putting your fingers around a handle is never even an option?
5) I’m Moving To The Spaghetto
Why am I super hungry all of a sudden? If you think it’s because even the mention of spaghetti would make me hungry straight away, you’re exactly right.
6) Hey Ma! I’m Hungry!
This lil guido is hungry fella, and he’s not shy about letting his ma know. Gimme milk wassa matta witchu?
7) Burger? Pizza? Bizza? Purger?
Ok, now I’m hungry! Here’s the official leaked photo from a post-war infiltrator. Italian? American? The best of both worlds?
8) Aw….So…Sweet?
Well, that started off pretty sweet, I’m not so sure about the response though…That definitely reads as a tad more American!
9) Don’t Let Your Plastic Fork Overheat…
…Unless you want some Italian cutlery. You do you if that’s what you want, I just don’t see this being a particularly effective fork.
10) A Weapon Of Pasta Construction
Well, if this is the firepower the Italians were packing I know who I’m siding with! So long as the grenades are actually mozzarella balls!
11) How Italians Draw A Horse
What a bellissimo breed of horse is this? Now that’s an Italian stallion! Sorry Sylvester, you’ve been replaced.
12) When The Weather Is Spicy
How else can you check the weather if you don’t get a feel for the temperature yourself? So it stands to reason that this is the precise image of an Italian checking the weather.
13) Italian Pants
I’m not sure if whoever made this meme knows how pants work, but they’ve got the spirit. Personally, I think the world would be a better place with finger-pants.
14) I Guess They Can Only Play So Many Notes At A Time
Well now maybe this explains why Vivaldi was more focussed on the violin, but I can’t imagine playing that particularly well with connected fingertips!
15) Regular VS Italian
Just imagine a job interview with this form of handshake. I can’t imagine a business deal being finalised with a hearty Italian “Boi” shake.
16) What A Quack-Up
Ah, the truly majestic Italian duck. They migrate south for the winter, where Italian grass grows tall (also with tiny joined fingers).
17) To Penne Or Not To Penne
When life in the kitchen is getting to be a little too much, I turn to pasta too, but more in an eat-too-much-of-it kind of way. Mama Mia indeed.
18) Protectioni Prophylactico
I could write something dirty about carbonara sauce, I could write something dirty about ham. I could change the first letter of riccota, but I would NEVER stoop so low…also I probably don’t even have to with dirty minds like ours.
19) Is it?
Well I’ve never written a “commento” before, but I sure would like to read some to shine some light on this subject! Also, even more Italian- is that a mozzarella stick in the background?
20) It’s A Busy Life
Well that’s one hell of a to-do list! Imagine having to orecchiette right after you ravioli! I can’t even imagine doing all that before you rigatoni, all in one day!
21) Riddli Scotti’s Masterpiece
Well I hope this is the prequel to Italien vs. Parmesan, because I would watch the hell out of that! If the moon is in fact made of cheese, that’s where this species would come from?
22) Classic Mistranslation
It’s too bad you don’t get Google translate for dogs. Maybe you could get someone from Switzerland to translate since they live right smack in the middle.
23) A Multi-Cultural Rundown
Well it looks as if the Italian way of problem solving involves a few more steps than some of the other nationalities. Personally, I like Spain’s approach best.
24) Draculini
I guess Van Helsing has always had it out for Italians, who knew? I feel like wearing a necklace of garlic would be a surefire way to attract an Italian, not repel them.
25) Shockingly True
The outlets in Italy must look pretty unique. I wonder if it’s measured in watts, or wattsammadawichyou’s?
26) Two Thumbs (And Eight Fingers) Up
Well social media would be a little different if this replaced the good old fashioned like button. You do have to wonder what the share button would look like…
27) Timing The Goodbye
Anyone who’s ever spent time around an Italian family will know that the goodbyes can often be take a lot longer than a quick ciao bella!
28) Again, No Simple Ciao
Why go on a show like Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, when you can get a million questions from your Italian Ma jusy by telling her you’re going out?
29) Why It’s Greased Lightning!
…That’s what happens in Grease right? Whether or not it is, this cool lightning is A-OK. Eeeeyyyyy. Mybe we need that Italian like button back.
30) Now That’s A Communion We Can All Get Behind!
Considering the blood of Christ is actually wine, it stands to reason that the body could be a delicious piece of soppressata. Then you’d hope for mass every day!
31) The Secret Sign Language
Italian people can be very expressive, and it all seems to come out through their hands. It can seem as if every word has a correspsonding gesture.
32) What’s Your Love Language?
If you’re Italian, it may just be yelling. I’d take a yelling love language over passive aggression any day!
33) You Gotta Protect Your Couch
Is there any more Italian a sound than the tearing noise of getting up from a plastic couch on a hot night? Maybe if you had some bubbling pasta sauce in the background.
34) Family Is Family
Well Italian families are known for being big, so if you’re going to invite around the relatives, fest have a festival ground ready.
35) Just A Light Snack
Italians and food. Food and Italians. A quick visit to Nonna’s house can often have you not walking out, but ROLLING out.
36) Mama Mia
I’d like to see what happens when the police need to check the security cameras after a theft. They’d go into this Nonna’s house looking for clues but come out stuffed with food.
37) Beg Your Pardon Olive Garden
No beef with Olive garden, but whether or not their food can be considered “real” Italian food is up for debate. The breadsticks however, are indisputably delicious.
38) 5 O’clock Blackout
Well in this day and age, beards are a sought after commodity it helps to be able to grow one with ease! I don’t know about Wookie level growth but at least it affords you some creative grooming options.
39) A Fetching Look
Why not wear a bow tie that allows you to take a quick snack. The question is; do you want to wear the snack or BE the snack?
40) Another Love Language
You can study Italian with Duolingo, language courses and private tuition, but “Italian Family” is a language in and of itself.
41) Nothing To See Here!
Maybe it only counts if there is an exchanging of words? Is it not technically an argument if instead of two conflicting stand-points, there’s just one very hard rolling pin?
42) Why I Oughta!
Whatcha gonna do? I guess a good relationship is based on compromise. Unless that is, if it’s a compromise of sauces.
43) “It’s Just Around The Corner, I can Feel It!”
Well if you’ve got an Italian dad, chances are you’ve heard that phrase before. You can be in the middle of a desert and your Pap’s gut is telling him you’re almost there.
44) If You Know, You Know…
First rule of Italian club is, you do NOT talk about Italian club. The second rule of Italian club is, you do NOT explain this meme to anyone.
45) Waste Not, Want Not…
And if you still want not, then just throw it out already ma! How many times do you need to decide not to eat those alpha-bits before you can throw those damn leftovers out?
46) When A Little Goes A Long Way…
…You still have to have a lot. Sorry those are the rules, but when Nonna says it’s time to eat, it’s time to EAT.
47) Just Hope It’s A Good One
If they’re calling you “muscles” then no problems! If however, they’re calling you rat-face, you may have bigger problems…
48) Join Thew Support Group
For those who have Italian mother’s you’d know what it means to be a survivor. Stay strong.
49) Hail Mary
Who else is going to watch over the petunias? This is the surefire giveaway of an Italian garden. Is this…Olive Garden?
50) The Real Ten-Minute Tan
Bless those quick reacting skin-cells! When all it takes is a walk to the corner store and back to get the summer glow going!
51) It’s In Your Blood
I don’t know about you, but I like my DNA a little more done than just al dente! This does however explain why Italian genes are so strong!
52) Well…That’s One Hell Of A Fortune!
For all the little ragazzi’s and ragazzo’s, maybe overt your eyes, and do NOT say this word around your mother unless you want the spoon!
53) You know…It’s Totally Legal Right?
If marinara wasn’t legal then I wouldn’t wanna obey the law! I’d go to prison for pasta sauce, best believe we’re having some great cell-block cook ups!
54) Sorry Olive Garden
There seems to be somewhat of a theme developing. After 54 slides I guess you’d hope there would be! Sorry again Olive Garden, I guess your main demographic is probably not actual Italians.
55) That Feeling When
Whether it’s the pasta in your pockets or the 2 pounds of hair product in your hair, when another Italian spots you and you share that special look, you know you’ve found a brother.
56) Italians Were Ahead Of The Game
Thank God for the Italians for walking so that we could run. Without their brave contributions to the culinary world, where would we even be?
57) The Struggle Is Real
Well I gotta say this one is probably not exclusively for Italian guys, but nevertheless it’s a struggle I’m sure women everywhere can understand.
58) Every Baby Want’s Their Botty
You come to me, on this the day of my diaper’s emptying, asking me for a favour. Say hello to my little friend! *pulls out pacifier*
59) Sorry Olive Garden…Again
Hell, I know Scorsese didn’t actually write this, but it somehow…works. I guess in the Italian spirit, the we can practically hear the Goodfellas chuckling to this joke.
60) You Gotta Be Beach Ready!
What are you gonna do? NOT wear sunnies inside? At night? In the dark? I don’t think so buddy, I don’t think so!
Well there you have it! For all the Italians out there, this list is a celebration of everything we love about you guys. To boot, the many types of food for which we will be eternally grateful.
Ciao Bella!
