Comedy racial stereotypes

krooton · 28 Feb 2011 at 16:03

Discussing this at work, and none of us can think of a nationality with more aspects of their comedy stereotype than the French.

If someone were asked to draw a French person, you would be guaranteed most, if not all, of the following:

Riding a bicycle
Beret
Striped top
Pencil moustache
Onions around neck
Fag in hand
Baguette
Bottle of wine

Can you think of any other country that has as many or more?

Time to break out MS Paint people. This thread should be entitled 'Portray a National Stereotype in Paint'.

Just keep a lookout for Freefailer if you're depicting French people!

Upon posting I realised that 'national' would have been a better choice, could a passing mod be kind enough to change it for me please? *flutters eyelashes*

Indeed good sir! One always has a cup of tea when one is eating ones crumpet with ones bad teeth which makes it ever so difficult to chew so one must have tea to wash ones crumpet down ones throat.
