An Irishman, an Italian, and a Polish guy..


Recommended Posts

An Irishman, an Italian, and a Polish guy are in a bar. They are having a good time and all agree that the bar is a nice place.

Then the Irishman says, "Aye, this is a nice bar, but where I come from, back in Dublin, there's a better one. At MacDougal's, you buy a drink, you buy another drink, and MacDougal himself will buy your third drink!" The others agree that sounds like a nice place.

Then the Italian says, "Yeah, that's a nice bar, but where I come from, there's a better one. Over in Brooklyn, there's this place, Vinny's. At Vinny's, you buy a drink, Vinny buys you a drink. You buy anudda drink, Vinny buys you anudda drink." Everyone agrees that sounds like a great bar.

Then the Polish guy says, "You think that's great? Where I come from, there's this place, Warshowski's. At Warshowski's, they buy you your first drink, they buy you your second drink, they buy you your third drink, and then, they take you in the back and get you laid!"

"Wow!" said the other two. "That's fantastic! Did that actually happen to you?"

"No," he replied, "but it happened to my sister!"

I hate jokes that are racist. Polish people live in a destitute country, but the people have ambition and travel overseas seeking higher education and better jobs. The origin of dumb Polish jokes is heart-wrenching to say the least. Before and during World War II, the German leaders felt they could prevent Poland from being a threat by killing the Polish scholars. Any Polish person with a college degree would be murdered by German soldiers, so that they could not advance their society into a threat to Germany. Calling someone from Poland stupid is the epitome of stupid.

Sorry to be a troll, but Polish jokes really offend me.

Maybe Germany was just mad they took German land and called it Poland after WW1 and 2. And of course, Stalin didn't want to give his invaded Poland back so they took pieces of Germany.

dude you are really off base. Nothing demeaning towards polish people is intended or implied. Could easily reverse the order or not have Polish at all. Stop taking things so personal.

Zeitgeist is right. Making fun of the Polish is somehow acceptable, where making fun of blacks and hispanics is somehow taboo. Jokes are like viruses; they spread from person to person. When you group someone by their race with such terrible connotations, the effect it has on Polish people is really bad. I witnessed someone tell a "Polish guy" joke to a Polish friend of mine. I felt sick to my stomach. He didn't know the Polish are ridiculed in the States for being stupid, even though they aren't, and even though the origin of the humor comes from acts of murder.

Edit: I understand jokes aren't meant to be politically correct. They poke fun at a certain groups expense, and it's funny. My problem is unique to Polish jokes, because educated people were heartlessly killed, and now we crack Polish jokes at the dinner table.

ORIGIN OF POLISH JOKES came from Nazi German propaganda that was then pushed ironically by Soviet communist sympathizers in Hollywood.

The racist stereotype that Poles are intellectually inferior or have subhuman intelligence came from Nazi German propaganda and Soviet propaganda.

For example, the MYTH that Polish horses were used to attack German tanks in WWII was total Nazi German propaganda that the Nazi Germans repeated over and over until it took a life of its own using the BIG LIE technique.

The Soviet Communists saw the value of this myth and the racist notion that Polish people have subhuman intelligence, so they had their Left-Wing sympathizers in Hollywood push it using Anti-Polish Television and Movie imagery to the American people.

The image of Polish people having subhuman intelligence was useful to the Soviet Communists, since then, people would not mind too much if Poland is occupied by the Soviet Union if Poles are portrayed as having a Slavic culture that is inferior and less then human.

Nazi German hatred of Polish people:

As for the German Nazis (and even the Soviets) they then killed off the educated class of Poland first to make their racist stereotype of Poles a reality.

Polish "jokes" were in Hitler's two speeches after he invaded Poland.

Hitler ridiculed Poles in his Sept. 19, 1939 speech in Danzig (today called Gdansk) and in his Berlin speech in Oct. 6, 1939 with these hate-through-humor anti-Polish ?jokes? and references.

Ironically, Left-wing Hollywood and the TV Networks (like NBC-TV) pushed these racist Polish ?jokes? even though they claimed to hate Nazis. Hollywood and NBC-TV evidently hate Nazi propaganda but not when its applied to Poles. Hollywood and Network-TV (NBC) have a deep hatred for Anti-communist, Pro-American, Pro-Catholic Poland.

The recent movie ?Katyn? shows the German Nazis and Soviets killing the educated Polish class in Poland in order to make Poland ?intellectually inferior? and easier to rule. This was during the time Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were collaborating with each other to destroy Poland as per their Molotov-Ribbentrop pact to destroy Poland together.

Polish jokes did not predate the 20th Century since it was introduced in America by left-wing bigots in Hollywood and TV networks like NBC-TV in the late 1960?s and 1970?s with anti-Polish ?shows? such as ?Laugh In?

Many Polish Americans who lived before this time have reported that they never heard these racist jokes until AFTER they were introduced by Left-Wing networks like NBC-TV in conjunction with Hollywood. NBC-TV launched Polish-bashing shows such as ?Laugh In? which ridiculed Polish people constantly. In addition late night bigots were encouraged to bash Poles with ?jokes? that portrayed the Polish people as having subhuman intelligence. Therefore the power of Television and motion pictures was used to demean Polish people with repetitive big lie type propaganda.

Anti-Polish movies such as ?The End? were some of the earliest movies meant to degrade Poles with racist humor. In addition other anti-Polish shows such as ?All in the Family? were used to degrade the Polish people even though the left-wing producer claimed the ruse that the show was suppose to be ?against bigotry?. ?All in the family? was filled with racist anti-Polish sound bites such as ?Dumb Polak? in an attempt to influence its viewers to have the same anti-Polish prejudice, that the Left-wing producer of the show (Norman Lear) had.

So basically, Polish ?jokes? were part of a Hollywood/TV media hate campaign against Polish people. Hollywood has a long tradition of mocking America and its allies.

Hitler?s 2 speeches after invading Poland (parts of speeches)

From Hitler?s Speech of Sept. 19, 1939 in Danzig (Gdansk Poland)

At this moment we want to give the Polish soldier absolute justice. At many points the Pole fought bravely. His lower leadership made desperate efforts, his middle-grade leadership was too unintelligent, his highest leadership was bad, judged by any standard. His organization was - Polish...

From Hitler?s Speech of Oct 6, 1939

Towns as well as villages are in a state of neglect. The roads, with very few exceptions, are badly out of repair and in a terrible condition. Anyone who travels in that country for two or three weeks will get the proper idea of the classical German term 'Polnische Wirtschaft,' meaning a 'Polish state of affairs!'

http://www.hitler.org/speeches/10-06-39.html

What Hitler failed to say in his speeches about Poland is that much of the problems Poland had in the early part of the 20th century was because of Poland being destroyed and pushed off the map from 1795-1917 by Germany, Russia and Austria.

Poland was basically licking its wounds and catching its breath in the early part of the 20th Century when it was back on the map.

indeed, everybody is fair game in jokes. every person / race / country / culture has many stereotypes and jokes poke fun at those

if you find a joke offensive instead of funny then you are only capable of, or only choose to, look at it from your point of view; which would make you very narrow minded and you need to realize that your beliefs aren't the not the law, they are not absolute, and they are definitely not the only ones

if you look at a joke from the joke tellers point of view, then you will absolutely 100% find it funny no matter what it is

770KFF guy ... but anyway back to this, for a sec, take me being half European and half arab I laugh at jokes pointed at arabs and I laugh at jokes pointed towards europeans, the world will never all turn good as good would be unbalanced if there were no bad. So you just gotta accept that people will make fun of your nationality ;)

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
