Americans have also enjoyed making jokes about people that are different than “us.” Historically, black people were the targets of the humor. Later, it was determined by most people that it is not acceptable to make fun of an underclass if you are responsible for creating the underclass. The Chinese, Poles, the retarded, Jews, and Mexicans all were the target of jokes at one point but are not frequently anymore due to heightening moral standards.
For a while, it seemed acceptable to make “redneck” jokes. After all, rednecks are American white folks, so they should be fair game. Then people realized it might not be appropriate to poke fun of poor people for being unique and resourceful with duct tape.
So now who are we supposed to make jokes about? MTV has come close to answering that question with their show Jersey Shore. The only problem is that they use the term “Guido,” which historically refer to lower class Italians, so its lifecycle is limited. I prefer the term douchebag (or their female equivalent, the douchebaguette). Characteristics of the douchebag include: unnatural tans, excessive hair products, large SUVs, narcissism, clubbing, gold jewelry, and obsession with casual sex. They’re wealthy and white, so it’s ok to make fun of them. Let the mockery begin!
Did you hear that douchebags have established their own civil rights group?
It’s called the NAAOP. The National Association for the Advancement of Orange People.
How many douchebags does it take to screw in a light bulb?
1, but if it requires screwing, he’s liable to stick his dick in it.
What’s a douchbaguette’s exercise routine?
Stick two fingers down your throat. Repeat ad nauseam.
How does a douchebag create harmony?
By getting a hummer in a Hummer.
Who is the douchebag’s biggest hero?
Himself.
Did you make up those jokes? Those are totally rad.
