People hilariously explain true meaning of country flags & you may not like the result

No offense, people...

Newsroom May 24 09:55

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!
