They are pretty much generic jokes, you could tell them about any ethnicity / Nationality/ or State. The first one was the funniest though.
Anyway, when was it decided that Hillbillys/ Republicans/ Canadians / or
whoever were not to be the butt of peoples jokes?
No group, or subject, or person, or Religion are so exalted that thou shalt not ridicule, mock, or otherwise milk them for lulz.
The only factor as to whether a joke is valid or not, is if it's funny or not.
The more outraged and bent out of shape people get, the funnier the joke gets.
Some of the funniest jokes I know are about horrible, ghastly things.
There are topics that are
so taboo in day to day conversation, that the only time the subject ever gets broached, is in 'inappropriate' jokes.
It's a social coping mechanism, a way for a society to get over things like Wars, Assasinations, Terrorist attacks, Hideous crimes, Racial division, all those things that people would get into a big fight about if they were to take to the streets shouting the odds, these are all the best 'Joke fodder'.
Call it what you like, if it can raise a laugh, rather than start a fight, then it's a joke. Mind you, the last two were pretty lame, but not because of the the subject matter, (Incest has always been a lively source of lulz) Just a bit lame.
I was going to end on an even lamer Hillbilly / Incest joke,
but I can't think of one!
