Who is the butt of your jokes? 

So we were cracking jokes today at work and it got me thinking: Which country or culture is the butt of your jokes where you live?

Here in Costa Rica its the Nicaraguans (how many Nicas does it take to screw in a light bulb, etc.)

In Canada, its either Polish jokes or people from New Foundland (western Canada, that is)

I know that in most of Spain its the poor Gallegos.

So where do you live and who do you make fun of?? (lets try not to get offended!)

That's an interesting question fevictor. Here in the US, I don't think we single out any particular country because we are a melting pot of many nationalities. I hear jokes about Mexicans, African American's, Puerto Rican's, Polish, Americans, you name it. Anyone who lives here is game. We even joke about people who live in different states within the US. Texans, New Yorkers, Californians,. To take it even further, occupations as well. Attorney's, Doctors, Politicians. Everyone is the butt of jokes here.

Here in Germany it's the East Frisians, sometimes the Swiss.
In France one likes to make fun of the Belgians.

Yeah in Germany you can exchange the East Frisian jokes 1:1 to the US Polish jokes. However Germany's Polish jokes go over 1:1 with the US's Hispanic jokes.

All depends on the social problems a country has

From Scotland, to be honest, it's been years since I've heard anyone here make a joke about different countries or races.
They are a bit old and naff, like mother-in-law jokes.

(I told my neighbour your one about the guy hearing the voice telling him to go to Vegas.....and he totally cracked up. That was a great one!)

Myself, I like utterly stupid jokes, like...

Did you hear about the Hyena that swallowed an OxO cube?
He quickly became a laughing stock...

cheers,

Ron

I think it maybe has a lot to do with how many outsiders you have living in your country / city. Like Vancouver, Canada, or most major US cities. Lots of accents and different customs to learn and mock! I for one always love jokes that have to do with funny accents or mimicking others - like Italians and the way they talk. Its all in good fun!

What do you call a Mexican with two dicks? hose A and hose B (José and JosB)

Naff?? Ill have to google that word!

I think John and edguerin are two exceptions... My nation doesn´t do any jokes about other nations.

A Saskatchewan farmer and his wife, on their way back home in January, are at the airport in New York awaiting their flight.

They are dressed in heavy boots, parka, scarf, mittens, etc.. An older couple standing nearby is intrigued by their manner of dress.

The wife says to the husband: "Look at that couple. I wonder where they're from."

He replies: "How would I know?"

She counters: "You could go and ask them."

He says: "I don't really care. You want to know, you go and ask them."

She decides to do just that and walks over to the couple and asks, " Excuse me.

Looking at your dress, I wondered where you're from."

The farmer replies: " Saskatoon, Saskatchewan".

The woman returns to her husband who asks: "So, where are they from?"

She replies: "I don't know. They don't speak English"

Last one I heard had a kinda "Jerry Springer" theme...

A single-parent woman is at the Welfare Benefits Office.
The Benefit's Officer asks, " Do you have any children?"
The woman replies, "Aye....ten."
"Oh, I see", says the Benefits Officer, "Can I have their names please?"

Woman says, "Yeah...it's Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne and Wayne."

"So they're all called Wayne?", says the Benefits Officer..."Doesn't that make life a little confusing?"

"Nah", says the woman, "If anything it makes it easier, because when their dinner's ready, I just stick my head oot the back door and shout, 'Hey Wayne!...Yer dinner's on the table'."

"Yes, but what if you want to speak to one of them individually?", asks the Benefits Officer.

"Och, nae problem", says the woman..

"I just call them by their Father's surname...."

cheers,

Ron

These are for those of you who like racial jokes:

How do you make an Italian shut-up? Tie his hands behind his back.

How do you blind a Chinaman? Put a windshield in front of him.

(sorry, this one cant be translated to English)

Unos policias en Galicia le preguntaron a un lugareno porque se quizo matar ahorcandose con una soga. El Gallego respondio que se estaba a cepillando los dientes y se fijo en el tubo de pasta de dientes. Confudidos, los policias le preguntaron que tenia que ver eso con el suicidio? El Gallego respondio: "es que decia Colgate"!!

Ron, I see that your just 3 posts away from hitting 5000! Send 3 more jokes individually to see that bad boy roll over!

A man lies on the beach all day and gets sun burnt, top to toe.
He geos to the doctor and the doc gives him Viagra.
'Will this cure my sunburn, Doc?'
No! but it should help keep the bed sheets off your legs :)

Ok, another one in Spanish, but this one is great!

Un Mexicano campesino, recien llegado a California, decide comprarse un refresco de una dispensora de gaseosas en un mall. Empieza a depositar sus monedas cuando se da cuenta que una pantallita digital le va indicando cuantos centavos le faltan por depositar. El campesino sigue depositando sus monedas y de pronto se queda mirando la pantallita algo confundido. Segun la dispensora, le hace falta 10 centavos por depositar, pero la pantallita lo muestra como "dime". El Mexicano mira a su alrededor y se acerca mas a la dispensora, algo timido y nervioso, y le dice en voz baja: "Coca Cola!"
