Stereotypes/jokes about imaginary cultures

(Anonymous) 2014-05-14 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
One human constant is that the minute you divide us up into tribes or subgroups, we will immediately form stereotypes and start making jokes about the other tribes. Not a joke; there have been studies.

I was joking with a friend recently about the Duke of Weselton from Frozen, and we decided that everyone jokes about how boring and uptight Weselton is, with no magic or adventures or anything. We immediately came up with these:

What do you call Happy Hour in a Weselton bar? Free cookies with your milk.

After forty years, that Weselton couple finally divorced because of sex. They couldn't agree on whether to try it.

Weselton guy comes storming into the local magistrate's office and says "I want a divorce from my wife!" The magistrate says "But you've been married twenty years, what's wrong?" "Well, when we were first dating, she told me this joke. And I just now got it, and it's DISGUSTING."

They thought a prince of Weselton had a magic power once... imagine their relief when we found out it wasn't magic. Turns out if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, it would turn into a diamond through purely natural processes.


This literally is one of my favorite hobbies now: imagining how people would be silly, petty jerks about totally imaginary nationalities, religions, etc. Because people are always silly, petty, jerks.


Are they stubborn? I heard the Earth Kingdom had to ban mirrors after staring contests became their leading cause of death.

How many firebenders does it take to roast a chickenhog*? Six: five to claim the honor of being the first one to roast it fastest, and one to find a new chickenhog that isn't incinerated...


Why does a Jedi wear a robe? Because pants don't have room for the giant stick up his ass.

Did you know Hutts have feet? It's okay, they don't know either.


What asinine stereotypes and jokes do people in your favorite fictional universes have about each other?

*I just made that up, but damn, chickenhog sounds delicious.

I can't think of any, but I really, really love this idea.

I'm reminded of the jokes about Bison's army they told at the end of the Street Fighter movie.

This should be a new Tumblr trend.

These are great.
I don't have any stereotypes or jokes, but I once wrote a long and very dark-humor drinking song for the Survey Corps from Shingeki no Kyojin because I think that what the series needs is more dark humor stat.

I don't have hardly any at the moment, because it's been a long time since I goofed off this way, but I can tell you how we used to make up joke collections like this. One person would prompt with a line and the rest of us would come up with responses to it. Trigger warning for dark humor involving abuse, because the fandom in question was Loveless.


Someone asks Soubi "where did you get your scar?"

And Soubi responds ...

Troubling: "A stone's throw away from where I lost my ears."

Cryptic: "On the ground. In ecstasy." *nostalgic expression*

More cryptic: "A very long time ago. On my soul."

Doing nothing to convince the world that Soubi's not crazy: "Well ... I can't tell you that I deserved it, but aside from knowing Seimei, it's the best thing that ever happened to me."

Descriptive: "It's genetic."

More descriptive: "From a professional."

Calculated to provoke: Ritsuka ... do you like it? I'm sure Seimei would give you one if you asked him to.

And my personal favorite: "God made me this way."
