    More sarcasm maybe? Also more vulgar and crude humor. A lot of this humor would not fly in the USA or Europe where the climate is more “politically correct”.

    Even in the same country, there are differences.

    Theres differences inside each country, imagine in a dozen of them. Which doesnt mean there’s things in common

    From what I’ve gathered

    Brazilian humor is more playful, lighthearted, jovial and trolley/memey, somewhat irreverent

    Argentine humor is more dark, sarcastic, sometimes with social or political undertones

    Mexican humor seems like a mixture of the two

    Brazil: Racism is bad, but not as touchy as in the US

    Uruguay and Argentina: [inventing the most powerful and unrestrained forms of racial, social, sexuality and gender slur chants]

    When there was a lot of scarcity people used to say: there is no toilet paper, thankfully we don’t need it that much because there is also no food.

    We make fun of everything even from our misery or other’s, there’s not much of being politically correct when we joke.

    And we are the best at putting nicknames, you are an orphan? We will put you a nickname for that. You are missing one teeth? We will have a name for that.

    We give people nicknames others would consider offensive and we make hard jokes. I thought this was normal until I moved out and not everyone played the same way

    We mostly make fun of appearences and enjoy putting nicknames on everyone, There’s a comedian that exclusively sells this as his routine and some YT channels of a variety of themes rely heavily on nicknames.

    Argentinians win this with not pc wit, but Mexicans have the better accent, adopted in jokes across the continent (shoutout to Mexican South Park and Chavo). But Brazil has the best memes and viral internet shit. A lot of memes and gifs used across the world are old Brazilian soap opera footage.

    Special Mention to Peru and Ecudaor for things like pequeña Wendy, delfin hasta el fin etc. , as unintended humor is also a win.
