Hm.

The comedy stereotypes I'D heard of for sheep fuck*ng was... the Greeks and New Zealanders.

So, like, Balki Bartokamous, Pappa Papadopolis and Peter Jackson three-teaming a sheep would make perfect comic sense to me. But Welsh?

I dunno. Maybe it's just my particular cultural background but, if the Welsh were considered separate of general British stereotypes at all, they MIGHT be stereotyped as... thrifty and incomprehensible? Sort of a Scottish stereotype, mostly, but sort of hazier, sort of half in the shadows of a campfire?

No, it is a comedy stereotype of the Welsh that they like to shag sheep.  I wouldn't lie to you about this.

The only Welsh stereotype I'd ever heard is that they're supposed to be so stupid that they think cheese toast is actually rabbit.

Of course 100% of my knowledge of the Welsh comes from that one episode of Good Eats and The Dark Is Rising books that I read in 5th grade.

The Welsh, like their southern cousins the Kiwis, are well known for shagging sheep.

I can't say I've ever heard the same stereotype about the Greeks, though.

I must note here the historical inaccuracy that there was no such thing as "County Gwynedd" in 1676.  The current county of Gwynedd was then divided into the separate counties of Caernarvonshire, Anglesey, and Merionethshire.  "Gwynedd" was, in 1676, only the name of a long extinct Welsh kingdom of the middle ages.

Yes, I am a pedant.

Greek shepherds perhaps.  AFAIK, the Greeks are mostly infamous for buggery.

This entire comic was an excuse to use the phrase "Sandmaster Flash."

I just have to add that the sheep?

It is a sheep in Hungry Like the Wolf's clothing.

SOW, I keep seeing well-dressed frenchmen on the metro reading fantasy novels I read in middle school.

there is a county in my state(perry county) where there are rednecks a-plenty and the garages are 2-3 times bigger and more well-maintained than the filthy broken down trailers they live in.  a common joke is: Perry county: where the men are men and the sheep are scared.  ive also heard the same joke applied to people from idaho and wyoming.

And which novels would those be?

Welsh rabbit isn't a "Welsh are stupid" stereotype, it's a "Welsh are poor" stereotype - rabbit is the meat you eat when you can't afford to do better than catch vermin, and Welsh rabbit is what you eat when you can't afford vermin.

The Welsh are sheep-fuck*ng poorer-than-dirt leek-loving coal miners. Basically transpose American West Virginia stereotypes and add leeks.

It is an outdated stereotype that the Welsh are also a race of warlocks, but one which I choose to propagate as much as possible.

I have heard this theory.  I have also heard that it's because the Welsh are really bad hunters.  So when the Welsh man went out to shoot some dinner and came back empty handed, the Welsh woman came up with cheese sauce on toast.

Canned for pedantry.

So far: David Eddings (i checked right before I graduated and only one person had checked this book out from the school library since I did in 1999), Robert Jordan.
