Eh, it's mostly stemming from the British and emulating them. It really has nothing to do with 2001, even if some people have used that to exacerbate it.

I rarely see this jokes meant to be taken seriously, and besides, the rest of the world pokes fun at the US.

Poking jokes alone is not the issue here...

OP is only talking about jokes. Where I live, it only ever is jokes. Perhaps somewhere else in the country people are seriously hateful of the French. The US is very diverse of opinion.

The Brits, well the English anyway the Scots are pretty okay with the French, have got a thousand years worth of rivalry behind it though. They were pretty much one country at one point in their history. America jumping in is like some bratty kid trying to get in on Mom and Dad's argument to try and show grown up they are. Just makes the kid look even more like an immature brat than they did before.

That's a rather strange sentiment. Useless old grudges are more acceptable somehow? Think all three countries are inane if you like, but hateful jokes made in earnest because of old grudges strikes me as far more petty than good spirited miming with no actual ill will behind it.

...I was going to say. For about the past ten years I've been hearing way, way more "French people surrender" jokes in the British media than in the American. That was not "everyone suddenly forgetting the Resistance after 2001", that was "everybody has always mocked the French"... (Of course there are also a tiresome number of "don't mention the War to Germans" and "Americans always show up late" jokes in the British media still.)
