Some are funny but not all are. Whoever wrote this definitely want to make fun of nepal too. here are some explanation but i got tiered to write all.



1.      
Ganjha is cheap in most of the undeveloped
country and you can find it without difficulties. SO why it is hilarious?



2.      
Not every people smoke with babajis, even if
they used to smoke among friends.



3.      
It’s not hilarious to have currency knowledge. And
of course every country people will know exchange rate of their currency with
other currency with which they are exposed to or with top world currency. It
about your general knowledge and is not hilarious.



4.      
It’s not hilarious to know name of the world landmark
in your language.  Actually it is
hilarious if you don’t know that it is called sagarmatha.



5.      
Being jobless or in search of job is totally not
hilarious. It is due to lack of available jobs than the available candidates in
the market.



6.      
Staying with parents, you have to look things
from the perspective where it is suited or where it is originated. Analyzing
things out of context definitely looks hilarious but it makes commenter looks
pathetic as s/he seems not to have idea about cultural diversity. Even in
developed country people stay with their parents when they are in need of money
or when they need to take care of their parents.



7.      
Supporting china over India due to the fact that
India interferes a lot with your internal issues than china. This happens at
family level too, if somebody interferes too much in your family definitely you
don’t like that people. So is it hilarious point?



8.      
Again, eating rice two times a day, you have to
look at things within its context. How about eating burgers all the time? Isn’t
that funny then? So try to think within context. It all depends on what crops
are available or grown in that place, economy of family etc. I don’t think it
is hilarious.



9.      
About watching Indian movies, definitely it
depends on imports of such things. We don’t have import of Chinese movies so
how should we watch. If Chinese movies were also abundant in market like Indian
and if there was free access to china like India definitely it would have been
same situation. So it’s not funny.



10.  
Not only Nepali, but every national will hate to
be identified improperly. It’s the issue of identity and definitely not funny.
It applies to all.



11.  
Eating with hand, I again say look at things
within context and the situation.



12.  
About marriage, try to respect all cultures.
Cultures changes with the need of society and definitely you have noted that it
is changing too. So making fun of own culture is like making fun of you.



13.  
Dating people from online site, actually it’s
more common to developed country. So why it is applicable to Nepali as funny?



14.  
Do you really think nepali can go professional
only in dandi biyo. If so then you are in 18th century about info on
Nepal. Try to find more info about sports in Nepal. Its very encouraging given
the limited amount of resources.



15.  
 I bet
that most of the people have tried at least one of gundruk or dhido, even if
they had both of them.



16.  
Having two lives online and real one, its also
true for all people who have access to internet, not only to nepali.



17.  
I never met prople trying to talk in English not
to be recognized as nepali. May be its her/his personal behavior (whoever
wrote) rather than group thing.



18.  
Staying with the people whom you are visiting, again
look at things within culture and definitely that shapes you or how you behave.
Trying to accommodate visitors in own house is kind of appreciation of visitors
in our culture. With this there is more intimacy, sharing of thins going around
etc. But having said that I have never seen people piling up in one room in the
name of hospitability. Imagine if your parents or relatives come to your house
and you make them stay at hotel 2-3 miles down from you place, definitely you
won’t feel good about you. In fact, even if you have to stay at friends place,
you will accommodate visitors in your house. Its respect to them in our
culture.



19.  
Thinking about peoples caste, probably goes with
time and development in the country. But its not funny though.



20.  
People try to study science or engineering ,
esp  doctor or engineer, because these
are the two profession which is always in high demand around the world, not
only in Nepal. Again, with development level, people will be more diverse in
study area. Definitely you can see some indication in field of study that are
being offered in Npeal.



21.  
I don’t know about people hobbies and ANA
meeting. I’ve never been there.



22.  
Don’t know about what you talking’cmmmmmmmaaa”.



23.  
Chatting with nicknames which is not applicable in
real life, that’s true for all people around the world, whoc engage in such
chat. Its not applicable to nepali only.



24.  
Worrying about dowry from the time pf pregnancy,
I’m sure that’s more of problem in India than Nepal.



25.  
So you think that divorcing is good that’s why
people in developed countries do that? So then you have to study seriously
about sociology and anthropology of these developed countries.



26.  
Passing in Hispanic parade, that’s because they
look similar. But its not true for every nepali? Do you think people of Mongolian
origin are similar to Hispanic people?



27.  
I don’t know about bomchom but bomjon or bumjan
is nepali caste.



28.  
Using paper plate as spoon if you run out of it,
definitely that is your good ability to utilize the locally available resources
and it not hilarious.



29.  
Yes, we have more gods. It is strange but not
hilarious.



30.  
Really adding Nep in word makes sound like gay? Idon’t
think so. Even if so what is wrong with that? Looks like you tends to show you
as progressive by making fun of nepali culture but you are not. You still can’t
accept gay and their rights, which is also supported by science.



31.  
Probably Gyanendra is your uncle.



32.  
People can sing song in language in language in
which they feel comfortable. So there is nothing wrong to translate song in own
language.



33.  
Taking most of the candies in plane: probably
you have not seen people other than nepali in plane or you have not travelled
in plane with other people.



34.  
Sabji mandi andHongkong supermarket , I don’t
know whats the point. You didn’t make it clear.



35.  
I think  people from so called developed countries die
for free stuffs than our nepali fellows. And these khaires male will be the
first to bring tampons if they are free. I can bet on it.



36.  
Travelling 50 miles to save $2: you can find
dump people in every country, every community and every race.



37.  
Several songs you referred to never heard. But
some popular songs and popular advertise definitely applies to be nepali and
funny too.



38.  
More goat meat than rice in a plate?
Definitely  Gyanendra is your uncle, as
you mentioned earlier.



39.  
Number 36: yes that point is hilarious.



40.  
Picking nose and ear, looks like you have nepali
phobia or you are blind not to see behavior of white skins.



41.  
Chatting ¾ of the day: look at teenagers
fromother countries and developed countries, then compare.



42.  
Baseball and cricket: Of course you can compare
if there is similarities. Its human behavior.



43.  
Amrican football: ofcourse it’s the issue of
wonder. As rest of the whole world say football to real football (soccer).



44.  
Having tuppi: is this real identity  of nepali? Grow up man. It’s only the
identity of certain communities and even they do not keep it nowadays.



45.  
Everything or everyone is taller if they are
taller than you. It is comparative man.



46.  
Whats wrong with naming most common names in Nepal.
Is it dunnly of khaire name their children name as david, Jason, or Christie or
marry?



47.  
Pronouncing name from different language is
really difficult. I bet that you also can’t pronounce several names from other
cultures or languages, even if you try it several times. Its not wrong with your
name. Its just that you are from different culture.



48.  
It’s the matter of pride if you can kick somebodys
ass in math or science or any other subject. But not funny.



49.  
Knowing US history more than others in class,
again it’s the pride to know more, not the issue of laugh.



50.  
If PM was baje, so they called baje. Old people
are normally called baje in addition to designating bahuns.



51.  
Political knowledge from MK and NB: never heard
of that issue.



52.  
Knowing history, culture and geography of the
place where you stay is not wrong thing. Again its good to have broader
knowledge. But not in the cost of  have
less knowledge about your country itself.



53.  
Not only bagmati and bisnumati, in all places
which is polluted, its better not to take dive.



54.  
Really carom board is best present. May be its
personal like than issue of group habit.



55.  
Yes, there used to be bullying of madhesis. But
not anymore. And this issue id totally not funny.



56.  
I don’t think all people used to get free hair
cut. It definitely is few people who used to show off their physical power. You
cannot say that nepali are gangster  if
you know there are some gangster or don in Nepal.



57.  
Whats wrong with going to shopping with parents?



58.  
Yes there are people who are ashamed to reveal
that they know some language. But it’s a matter of pride if you know more
language than other.



59.  
Dhoti is a race: never heard of it.



60.  
Smell in class: don’t try to generalize your
issues with all Nepalese.



61.  
Of course, ramayan, mahabharat  and chanakya tv serial were made by Indians.



62.  
Use of toilet paper: again try to view issue in
the appropriate context. Same is true to khaires, they are not satisfied with
water. They need TP. So what?



63.  
Nepali cousins as pattu hajurbuwas: Again don’t
try to generalize your or individual behavior to whole mass.



64.  
Going bald before dad: what about his son then?



65.  
Combing your hair with oil for first day of
college: totally untrue though its true if it is for school.



66.  
Adding –ing to nepali words: that’s true and
funny also.



67.  
Of course people who know mustang as place is
