Argentine Humour

Argentine humour is exemplified by a number of humorous television programmes, film productions, comic strips and other types of media. Everyday humour includes jokes related to recurrent themes, such as jokes at the expense of Galicians (Spaniards) called chistes de gallegos (where they are commonly portrayed as simpletons), often obscene sex-related jokes (chistes verdes, literally "green jokes", a term equivalent to the English-language "blue humour"), jokes about the English, the Americans, blonde women (supposedly clueless), dark humour (called humor negro), word and pronunciation games, jokes about Argentines themselves, etc.

Famous quotes containing the word humour:

    Right as the humour of melancholy
    Causeth full many a man in sleep to cry
    For fear of blacke bears, or bulles black,
    Or elles blacke devils will them take.
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
