yes
(this comment actually got deleted for being too short and i’m gonna expand on that by saying…yes, we make fun of everyone)
Norway.
“How do you sink a Norwegian submarine? You swim down and knock on the hatch.”
Love you guys,
Sweden

Norway, Denmark and Finland, because we always take the piss out our brothers, who we love dearly.
Sweden, no doubt. Those sissies practically ask for it.
Russia sucks too much to be made fun of, Norway is cool and Estonia is practically our liquor store.
Belgium, naturally. There’s no use making fun of the Germans because they wouldn’t even understand the concept
Romania, mostly because of the Ceausescu-era when Romania was like North Korea nowadays. For example:
“When does the Romanian dog get to see a bone? When it has an open fracture.”
France have many candidates, but I think Belgium win this one. The UK (England in particular) is a very close second, but I know people who really love the country and who mostly dream of going/studiyng there. As for the rest, Italy and Spain are mostly loved (even if it’s not reciprocal), and Germans jokes are kinda outdated now, especially with the younger generations. Switzerland is mostly seen as the trilingual rich country, and we don’t think of the micronations at all.
Poland. I would like to point finger at our Czech neighbors, but they probably have a *nápad* (who knows… knows) to answer me.
In the jokes that start “An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman” it’s *always* the Irishman who does something stupid.
We don’t border anyone but… yeah we don’t use “Brits are at it again” as a regular saying for nothing.
In Norway, the classical joke is about those Swedes.
The Swedes will then translate the joke, and swap the nationalities, and present it as their own, making fun of Norwegians.
Usually whichever is closest to where you live. But on the whole, probably Austria.
It has the added bonus that we can imitate their speech (badly).
We used to make fun of the Swiss a lot, too, but that apparently fell out of fashion.
France. We do make more fun of the Dutch, but we have too much class to kick a country already down.
I’m fench. Historically we make fun of the Belgians.
“Why did Belgians stop praticing Water polo
>!Because they drowned all of the horses!<
Which is more acceptable than what we use to say about the english.. It began with an F… and it was not “fuck”
We like the Czechs but their language sounds extremely funny to us and vice versa (I think).
Also lately Poles have been doing better than Czechs so you could say it’s kurevsko nedobre novinky for them…
I’m German and especially back in the days there was always someone making fun of the Dutch people. But mostly on a friendly basis….and when it’s about football…. Most jokes were about the Dutch in their caravan or that their colour (orange) is used for our garbage collectors (Google tells me that’s the translation xD)
I always liked Netherlands and my favourite player of all time was ruud van nistelrooy
well for the offensive jokes, russia (surprisingly i havent heard many belarus jokes)
also a lot of jokes are about germany.
from more friendly jokes there is a couple about czechia
Sweden. Not sure if they understand though.
We just love our neighbours so much (well, 3 of 4 neighbours are cool)
Sweden hating on Denmark is in our culture. The reason is we have the most wars fought between each other out of every nation on earth. We’ve been neutral now for 200 years but to hate on the danes is to be a normal swede. (In a joking way of course, we actually love the danish now)
Oh, it’s definitely Macedonia. Both in good and bad spirits. Unfortunately the latter prevails, but you know, it’s the Balkans.
The Czech Republic (mostly friendly banter), Hungary (not always friendly banter) and Poland (mainly their language), in no particular order.
For Italians is a wild pick, but I say it’s a fight between Germans and French. Honourable mention, the English.
We mostly make fun of folks from other Italian towns/cities. Some shit goes back to early days, we petty for real.
Pisa, remember 1284? Pisa merda ❤️
Edit: typo
Belgium the most, but Germany is also an easy target, just not as much because of there not being as much of a shared history (besides ww2..)
Latvia.
There once was an estonian who migrated to Latvia. The average IQ of both countries increased.

No need. They do it themselves. [https://youtube.com/shorts/dvZ2soQwM0g?feature=share](https://youtube.com/shorts/dvZ2soQwM0g?feature=share)
We couldn’t compete with their own work.
