How Lithuanians, Latvians, and Estonians Make Fun Of Each Other

So let’s change things up and switch to a much lighter topic for todays video: regional jokes.

The idea came to me when I remembered a Lithuanian friend telling me that there’s an ongoing joke about Estonians being slow. I thought I would run with this idea and see what jokes Lithuanians had for their Baltic neighbours and what our neighbours had to say about Lithuania.

I am a simple Estonian, if I see Latvia or Lithuania i press like.

[derhansl]

Overall, three of us feel like brothers. We have suffered so much together that we all feel bounded to be nice and respect each other.
Love from Latvia!

As a lithuanian we mostly joke about russia and poland.I have never heard anyone say rude or jokingly things about Estonia and Latvia.

Estonian sees a doctor.
- Many times a day I experience darkness in front of my eyes for 5-10 minutes.
- When exactly?
- When I blink.

as an estonian, i always wheeze at slow estonian jokes when theyre done well. one russian joke is the best: "I told some Estonian blokes that they're slow." "What did they reply?" "Nothing, but they beat me up the following day."

The number plates of Latvian cars have the Latvian abbreviation of LV that we Estonians call "lisavarvas" or "extra toe".
Fun anecdote about slow Estonians also:
A zoo hired an Estonian as their security guard for the aquarium. The next day when every one came back to work they were surprised to see the all of the turtles were gone. When the other workers asked the Estonian what happened, he answered, "It all happened so fast. The gates opened and all of the turtles were gone so fast."

There is a joke that goes back into 90's when there were still borders between the Baltic countries. A group of 5 Latvians crossing the border of Estonia in Audi Quattro. An Estonian border patrol officer goes like: Hey, you can not enter Estonia fivesome being in Audi Quattro! Latvians are shocked and asked why. Estonian says: Come on guys, it is obvious. Quattro in Latin means four, you are five. One must quit the car and you are good to go. Latvians say it is nonsence and demand a Superior to talk to. Estonian says: no problem, but you guys need to wait. He is dealing with 3 Lithuanians who are trying to sneak in Estonia in Fiat Uno :)

Im Latvian and we trully are like sister countries, we will make lighthearted fun of eachother but still trully care about one and other

There was this Estonian guy, who went to a surgeon and told him, he wanted to become Latvian. "No problem", said the surgeon, "we just need to remove one quarter of your brain and you wake up as Latvian as could be". So they went on with the neurosurgery. After the operation the surgeon wakes the patient up and guiltily admits: "I am very sorry, but there was some slip and complications during the surgery, and really, we removed not a quarter, but a whole half of your brain. I truly apologize." But the patient smiles at him: "Gerai, gerai!"

Another joke about estonians from Lithuania:
- Why do estonian words have so many double letters?
- Because they write faster than they think

[mindaugastrumpaitis]

Despite all jokes an differences, we have BEST neighbours Latvia and Estonia. 💪

A joke I heard from a Russian living in Estonia, :
two Estonians looking at a lake at the start of winter,
- "Soon the ice will be good that walk on"
- "Hmm the temperature is not that low, how do you know that?"
- "Look there, Latvians are already on it ice fishing"

[tomaspetrusevicius]

Most Baltic joke: Two Latvians are talking - Look, its an Estonian running !
Nah, its Lithuanian standing still. - other answers.

[daliuxas]

The full saying about Estonians is:
Estai lėti bet visada prieki
Estonians are slow but always ahead.

[Itsamanddda]

As a Latvian I always admire our relationship. It comes from old times and continues till now and I hope from all my heart that our relationship will be the same when all young generations will rule. It’s cool to know that there are these two brothers behind us who is supporting and respect us.
All love and respect to Lithuanians and Estonians! ♥️

When there were borders between European countries, many customs officers were corrupt. Scientists wanted to find out how much money they made from their shady dealings.

The scientists went to a Lithuanian customs officer and asked, "How much time would it take you to get enough money to buy a BMW?"

Lithuanian customs officer thought about it a bit and answered, "One year."

Now the scientists asked, "How much time would it take you to get enough money to buy a BMW?" from the Latvian customs officer.

The Latvian guy didn't hesitate and said, "Six months!"

Now the scientists went to an Estonian customs officer and asked again, "How much time would it take you to get enough money to buy a BMW?"

The Estonian customs officer thought for a long time. Then got out the calculator and spent some time with it. Finally, he answered, "Five and a half years."

Scientists were surprised and asked the Estonian why it took him so long when his colleagues from Latvia and Lithuania could do it in 6 or 12 months.

The Estonian thought some more. Shaking his head, he said, "I have no clue how they do it. BMW is such a big company."

Anecdote

Three Estonians are fishing. The first one says - no fish
( at seven o'clock in the morning)
The second says - still no fish (at two o'clock in the afternoon) The third says - of course, there are no fish, because you chat all the time
(in the late evening)


Latvians joke that Estonians are not very talkative 😂

[martinsrubiks]

two Estonians walk along the seaside.
Suddenly one of them says: "Urmas, look! Such a sad sight - a dead seagull!"
The other one carefully observes the sky for 5 minutes and then asks - "Where?!?"

Anyway, sending positive vibes from LV to EE and LT :)

I love these jokes, they make us more united and friendlier even in the worst situations. Thank god, we are not like Croatians, Bosniaks and Serbs - they even speak the same language, but they're willingly to literally destroy each other.

[vitaliimykh]

live in Ukraine, felling urge to familiarize myself with Baltic states culture, couldn't imagine better allies than you guys, we'll destroy this evil empire together
