“What do you call a phone shaped like an Italian dumpling?”/“A gnocchia.”

“Gnocchi” is a variety of pasta and “Nokia” is a mobile phone, so there are several “gnocchia” jokes.
   
“I’m waiting for that Italian cell phone to become available in Canada. The Gnocchia. Looks tasty!” was posted on Twitter by Rick Yaeger on December 15, 2007. “My phone is shaped like an Italian dumpling. It’s a Gnocchia” was posted on Twitter by Alan Breen on October 28, 2010. “What do you call a phone shaped like an Italian dumpling?

Wikipedia: Gnocchi
Gnocchi (/ˈn(j)ɒki/ N(Y)OK-ee, US also /ˈn(j)oʊki, ˈn(j)ɔːki/ N(Y)OH-kee, N(Y)AW-, Italian: [ˈɲɔkki]; singular gnocco) are a variety of pasta consisting of various thick, small, and soft dough that may be made from semolina, ordinary wheat flour, egg, cheese, potato, breadcrumbs, cornmeal or similar ingredients, and possibly including flavourings of herbs, vegetables, cocoa or prunes. The dough for gnocchi is most often rolled out before it is cut into small pieces about the size of a wine cork. The little dumplings are then pressed with a fork or a cheese grater to make ridges that can hold sauce. Alternatively, they are simply cut into little lumps.
 
Wikipedia: Nokia
Nokia Corporation (natively Nokia Oyj, referred to as Nokia; Finnish: [ˈnokiɑ], UK: /ˈnɒkiə/, US: /ˈnoʊkiə/) is a Finnish multinational telecommunications, information technology, and consumer electronics company, founded in 1865. Nokia’s headquarters are in Espoo, Finland, in the greater Helsinki metropolitan area.
