Cultural Note
Romanian humor is famous for being dark, self-deprecating, and politically sharp. 'Bancuri' (jokes) are a national art form, and Romanians take pride in their ability to find humor in hardship — a trait honed during decades of communist rule when jokes were a form of subtle resistance.
