Talofa lava and welcome to our Samoan Humor page.
Included on this page is stuff that was sent to us from people like you. We have collected
stuff that we thought was especially funny and true about us, Samoans, so that we can all laugh
together about what makes us special and different from other people in this world.
Samoan humor, at its best, is like no other kind of humor. It is unique, truthful,
and can really make your stomach hurt from laughing so hard. At its worst, of which examples
abound on the other Samoan sites, it is nothing more than petty attempts at trying to get
attention. But hey, you won't find that here because this is a family site and only
good-natured "stuff" will be posted.
Enjoy the humor and visit us again. We would like to thank Sina Solomona for sending the
first of these interesting bits of Samoan humor.

If you remember this song:
"Samoa, pa'u ma tafi tafi, Palagi, pa'u ma tia'i" This happens whenever another Samoan drops their food on the ground, picks it up, dusts off the dirt and continues to enjoy his/her food like nothing happened. His answer?... "This adds to the flavoring!!"heehee This song should be on every recycling ad!
We call this Recycling all Matters - No Waste! campaign,
People don't know this but
