Stereotype jokes have got to be probably the least creative and tired kind of humor there is, a constant re-hashing of the same old cliches over and again from now until eternity. Italians eat lots of pasta? Check. Germans lack humor? Gotcha. Brazilians and football? Mhm. Oh, the Irish love potatoes do they? I never knew.
Yet still, they remain popular, we as humans apparently love to have our beliefs and categorizations confirmed and they make us happy. The internet has been experimenting with another angle on the theme lately, with people exploring the 'true meaning' behind national flags, and they do allow an element of creativity into proceedings! Scroll down to check them out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

This is so true. The first pizza, made for queen Margharita, was made with topings resembling the Italian flag. General Knowledge out.

This is INCREDIBLY offensive to the memory of the thousands of Northern Italians who fought and lost their lives fighting for the resistance. In my family we lost four brave men who were helping these Italian Partigiani who were hiding and fighting against the Nazis in the Dolomites during WWII. It saddens me greatly that the Northern Italians' struggles during WWII have not been included in the history books here in the west.

the gimmick with the missing color got old very quickly or perhaps I'm just pissed there's no Dutch flag (the pink stands for ability to cycle while high)

I agree with you. Having almost everyone have a missing color seemed boring and trite after the first couple.

Hmm... I don’t know about all of these. Maybe it’s just me, but they seemed just kind of cynical, without to much meaning. Maybe they just weren’t for me, but I wasn’t that big of a fan.

Alia, you probably have a kind and generous heart and you're probably not cynical. We need more people like you. :)

Canada: Red=Maple Syrup White=Snow I guess everyone already knows what our flag means so that's probably why it's not here...

Wow, when I read the clickbait title (and saw the Germany "teaser", which was actually mildly clever) I actually thought this might be funny. Boy, was I wrong...

Lame. Not a single one is even remotely amusing - and the ones meant to make you think are missing the point or blatantly incorrect. Nil points.

Bored panda. Have some class. If you all had a little knowledge of history than you would have taken down this entire article....A flag is a a countries pride.....you don’t get to joke about flags people died to protect or preserve where a new flag they didn’t want take its place. Shame on you....literally no class. Not funny. DM me and I’ll explain why your moral Compass sucks.

Way too many of these are "missing colour = bad thing associated with the country". The ones that aren't that are not particularly funny either, but you could at least... I dunno, try?

This started of funny and entertaining, then it deteriorated and became more cruel and nasty. Incorrect too in many cases. Not happy.

Hilarious???? There was f**k all worth a smile here, but shitloads of inaccurate comments from racist/bigots, who can't think further than the end of their nose.
