I am very disappointed- I thought this was going to be a thread in which punters from across the world could share their jokes about the English (someone should really start one of those)!
I would have even settled for a good Paddy Oirishman, or a Kerryman joke. But no. That was appalling. For shame.😠
Originally posted by sjegI agree with you. I also expected something else here. Guess it got off to a bad start. What say we try it all again, what? Pip, pip, and all that rot!

My mothers so skinny, (small pause) she fell asleep in the garden and(small pause + goofy northern look) the dog buried her.

Here is an English joke...
During World War II, a young man was walking home late in the evening. Air raid sirens sounded and all the city lights went out, leaving him in total darkness, unable to find his way to an air raid shelter.
He stepped into a dark doorway for shelter. Feeling around, his hand touched a female form. She moaned and leaned into him. Soon, to the sound of falling bombs, he was having his way with her.
When the all-clear siren sounded and the lights came back on, she looked at him and cried out, "Nigel!"
He responded, "Mum!"

(Said in laconic Northern manner of, say, Les Dawson) My mother-in-law's so ugly, she fell asleep in the garden and the dog buried her...
I think this joke was delivered by Frank Skinner in this way some years ago - it made me laugh.
