Colombian jokes often feature regional stereotypes and clever wordplay. A classic Colombian joke goes: “¿Por qué los pastusos ponen una escalera en la playa? Para subir la marea.” (Why do people from Pasto put a ladder on the beach? To raise the tide.) This plays on regional stereotypes and the double meaning of ‘subir’. Colombians also enjoy self-deprecating humor about their reputation: “¿Qué hace un colombiano cuando gana la lotería? Funda un cartel.” (What does a Colombian do when they win the lottery? They start a cartel.)
