When we were first assigned to read about Indian humor, I was a little skeptical. I initially thought that most of the humor would be more racist or based on stereotypical Indian characteristics: alcohol, poverty, casino’s. Turns out the humor is completely opposite of what I believed. In some instances, the humor is so subtle so that unless you have a good sense of humor, it’s more than likely the actual joke won’t be caught.
So naturally I searched the internet to find some great Indian humor jokes. And one of my favorite jokes is:
Anglos have BC and AD to measure time. Native People only have the four BC's.
Before Colombus
Before Custer
Before Commodity
Before Costner
It’s simple jokes like this that really make me laugh, because now that I have a little bit more background information on some of the situations, the jokes are even funnier than they would be normally. Of course there are tons more jokes on the internet but this is one of the better ones I found.
