There is lot of jokes about swedish people in Finland but I have seen/heard only one joke about Iceland. Joke is in cartoon called Fingerpori and joke was released after Eujafjallajökull volcano erupted 2010. Here is link to this cartoon:

Cartoon is in finnish so I translate it to english.

Cartoon square 1:
"Reykjavik:"
"Oh boss Björgólfsson are you sure you can please me?"

Cartoon square 2:
"In these matters I wasn't born yesterday"

Cartoon square 3:
Cartoon main character Heimo Vesa is reading newspaper and it reads in newspaper:
"Enormous dust cloud rose to heaven of Iceland"

Here is explanation for this joke:
In finnish youth language there is word for men with impotency problems. Word is tuhkamuna which translates something like dust di*k or dust balls in english.

This thread is to discuss about Iceland jokes outside Iceland. Are there Iceland jokes known in your country? Share Iceland jokes outside Iceland here.

This is scandinavian thing to joke about other scandinavians. Neighbours are a great joking theme everywhere.

Custom ship skins, character creator style "repaint". Bring it!

So, if i unterstood all that about icelandic humor right, EVE Online might actually be some kind of crowd funded social comedy sitcom... Straight

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.
