All the comedians are English,
All the mechanics are German,
All the cooks are French,
All the service is Swiss,
And all the lovers are Italian.

I have reason to disagree a bit with a couple of those, but I still like it.
I like the one about German comedians. Some variations follow.

From a Venezuelan working in Europe commenting on an anti-Chavez blog, The Devil’s Excrement.
“I recall a time when some Latin Americans friends were joking and talking about the perfect Latin American. (like the perfect European). They said something like:
“as humble as an Argentine, as feminist as a Mexican, as honest as a Colombian (well, well), as masculine as a Brazilian, as beautiful as an Ecuadorean, as well-spoken as a Chilean, as tall as a Bolivian and as well-educated as a Venezuelan.
Of course, no one ever makes jokes about Texans! That’s what the second amendment is for. :)
The version I've heard of this joke used policemen, too, with the English/German contrast. I think it works better than comedians. Are Brits particularly funny?
