It is unfortunately for them, the only joke the other scandis have.

It gets annoying for sure but it's all they have.

I live in Sweden and I get this joke every time my Danish background comes up. It gets real old, real fast, but I usually counter by telling them I hadn’t seen a sober Swede before moving here so maybe my creativity isn’t that excellent either.

And that joke is made by people who speak languages like Czech or Hungarian or Polish. I understand an Italian or a Spanish or a Greek person saying that but most European languages don't have much better sound than danish.

Btw I'm not a Dane but I speak the language. Actually got the hang of it quite fast due to my knowledge of Swedish (not my mother tongue either).

Where do you live?

If Copenhagen or even Odense, you should find some from the dark, dark part of Jutland.

Hvide Sande.

No one can understand them

I know the joke gets old when heard enough, but that reminds me of this which I will admit gave me a chuckle by the end (I think it's the unamused expressions all around):
