A classic type of jokes is the stereotype jokes. The stereotype jokes that I grew up with were jokes about a neighbouring country or another part of the country that one would joke was ‘slower’. Imagine jokes about rednecks if you are from the U.S. or German people if you are from Austria, or French people if you are from Belgium etc.

These types of jokes cab be very crude and at times downright racist, but the type dates back more than 2.000 years. Stereotype jokes were also normal in ancient Rome. So I’ve just left the place/group blank and you can put in whoever you want to make fun of.
