Italian stereotypes

Oh, and I'm sure there are many more!!!
Note that the more asterisks assigned (you got five as maximum), the more veritable the stereotype is

Italians eat spaghetti ****

Italians drive like criminals *

Italian politicians are corrupt **

Italians can sing well *

Italians love their Mamma *****

Italians drink a lot of coffee ***

Italians have elegant clothes ***

Italians spend a lot of time eating *****

Italains are noisy ***

Italians love soccer ****

Italians are dark eyed and black haired *

Italians can cook well ****

Italian women have big tits *

Italian men do it better

Italians are mafiosi

Wait, I must be Italian, then?

But they do!

Dunno what they have, but they certainly make them!

Wait, then, it's my cat who's Italian?

No, it's me, after all.

But some of them are... Sicilians.

Some mafiosi really claim they are Italians.

All Italians are short

Italian "mamas" are fat




TIS

I must be Italian.

I can't argue with that one!

Honestly I cannot validate it as long as I'm not having sex with other nationalities representatives!

Lavi, how about this one:
Italians are jealous?

Italians have oily hair and wear silk suits. (according to Senator Geary )

Duhh. :p

Apollonia even drove a car into pieces...

Just count the number of governments they can have in one year.
Some, maybe.

Who doesn't?

The "Friends"-cast too, and the only Eyetalian in that show was Joey... :rolleyes:

Gucci, Versace, Armani, Dolce & Gabana, ...

If you got the time for it, why not?

They certainly are, especially before, during and after eating.

All Europeans do. There is only one country where they are stupid enough to love sports like baseball and American football over real football, aka soccer.

True.

Some.

Maybe. Apollonia was only 17, so she can't be counted.

OVERRATED!!!

Only Sicilians.

it used to be so. Nowadays, if you dare be (and most of all show as being) jealous you will be stigmatized as jurassic. :rolleyes: Btw, I'm jurassic.

yeah, and they got olive oil voice and guinea charm as well!!! (according to Jack Woltz )

You need an update. We got only six governments in the last decade or so.


OVERRATED!!! [/quote]you had sex with either Italian and not Italian men, I presume? :p

OVERRATED!!! [/quote]you had sex with either Italian and not Italian men, I presume? :p [/b][/quote]I knew this question was gonna be made...
What I meant to say, is that I'm better than Italian men. How I know that? Just my instinct.

uh....well, I would never dream of mistrusting your instinct, but....somehow I tend to be more confident on Madonna's judgment in that field!

Yeah, maybe it's better to trust Madonna.

I'm sure that she has more s-experience with Italian men than me

In that case, France, Puerto Rico and New Jersey must be part of Italy.

How about Italians using olive oil on everything they eat?

"Guineas, mob guyzz, I dunt truss dem."


How about that Italians LOVE to cook with Garlic? How about that they just plain love garlic?


Don Cardi

Fresh bread dipped in extra virgin olive oil. YUM.

All I know is that us dagos kick ass.

You got that right!! :p


Of course we also need our hands to talk. If our hands were tied down and it wouldn't be quite the same.

TIS

You got that right, TIS... I even talk with my hands when I'm on the phone.

Oh, I talk with my hands!

I'm always jabbing my finger at people's faces and making crazy hand gestures, though I don't usually notice until my friends point it out...

what's wrong with garlic? It is a powerful antiseptic and reduces the risk of heart diseases and cancer, lowers blood pressure, reduces total cholesterol and raises HDL (the desirable component of cholesterol), helps fight bacterial, viral and fungal infections, and reduces the tendency of blood to form clots. It is also said to have aphrodisiac and hair restorer properties! And, of course, it is an absolute must for your pasta sauce! As for the odour it leaves in your mouth and breath, well....as long as your partner eats the same food you are having......no problem!!!

I typically talk with my hands when I drive!

WOW, you should love pinzimonio & bruschetta, then!!

Something to this effect: "You starred with Al Pacino, and you had even a kiss in the lips with him, how was it?!! - Oh, you know, he ate so much garlic on purpose..."

I don't know how to take this. I mean, did he eat garlic on purpose because he knew he had to kiss Sofia and he just wanted to make a fool out of her or to discourage her? Anyway, if I'm going to NYC I'll bring a garlic supply in my bag. Just in case I am to meet Al and get the chance to kiss him....

I suppose it's one of those nice behind-the-screen jokes that exist between actors.
