Croatian humour

Croatian humour

Croatian humor bears much resemblance to the humor of its surrounding countries, mainly the republics of the former Yugoslavia; and also the humor of other Slavic groups.

Mujo, Haso, Fata

Perhaps the most common type of joke involves two rather stupid male characters: Mujo and Haso. At times, Mujo's wife Fata is present in the joke. The characters are usually thought to be from Bosnia.

Perica, Ivica, Marica

Another common type of joke involves Perica, an inquisitive young boy with a very straightforward way of thinking. At times his best friend Ivica, and also sometimes a young girl Marica, is present in the joke. A typical occurrence in this type of joke involves Perica asking an adult (for example: his mother or his teacher at school) uncomfortable questions, or the adult asking Perica some sort of question and him responding with an inappropriate answer. Croatian "Perica jokes" bear much resemblance to English "Little Johnny jokes" and Russian "Vovochka jokes".

For example:

Perica:How was I brought into the world?

His mother:A stork brought you.

Perica:And how were you brought to the world?

His Mother:A stork brought me.

Perica then asks dad,grandma and grandpa the same question and gets the same answers so he says:So none of you ever fucked anyone?
