In Hungarian, there’s a whole genre of silly jokes that have to do with an agresszív kismalac, or “aggressive piglet.” Each joke ends with an absurd punchline shouted obnoxiously. There are collections of these jokes online, as well as brief aggressive piglet animated cartoons that don’t require much translation. These absurd jokes are reminiscent of German Antiwitze, or “anti-jokes,” which we’ve discussed before. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Aggressive Piglet Jokes”
I’ve been looking into Hungarian humor recently, and there is a variety of it that has to do with what they call aggressive kishmelats.
Aggressive what’s the last part?
Piglet.
Aggressive piglet.
Yes.
And there are all these goofy, goofy jokes about a piglet and the punchline you always scream in your rudest voice.
And I won’t do that.
But, like, for example, a piglet walks into a bus station and says, I want a ticket.
And the clerk says, where to?
And the piglet says, none of your damn business.
Okay.
Okay.
Let me try another one.
These are Hungarian jokes.
Yes.
Okay.
Gotcha.
A piglet falls into a pit.
A rabbit shows up and says, wait, piglet, I’ll get you a ladder.
Piglet says, I’m not waiting.
They’re just aggressive piglet jokes.
I mean, this is a thing.
If you Google it, if you Google Hungarian aggressive pig, you can see cartoons on YouTube and all these different versions of aggressive piglet.
Well, it reminds me of the German antivitza.
Right, yeah, the anti-jokes, yeah.
Right, right, like the two muffins in the oven, and one of them says, she is hot in here, and the other one says, oh, my God, a talking muffin.
They’re just ridiculous.
Right.
But Hungarian aggressive piglet.
Oh, thanks for that, Martha.
I’ll have to share these with my tween.
