Polish Jokes have been around for a very long time. Some people find them offensive, some find them funny, some don’t. The thing is, most of these jokes can be applied to practically any race, color, creed, or individual.

Sorry, I’ve forgotten to introduce you this country and its habitants! Poland (Polish: Polska), officially the Republic of Poland (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Polska), is a country in Central Europe. It is bordered by Germany to the west, the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south, Ukraine and Belarus to the east, and the Baltic Sea, Russia (in the form of the Kaliningrad Oblast exclave) and Lithuania to the north. It also shares a maritime border with Denmark and Sweden.

Instead of asking: “How many Poles does it take to screw in a light bulb?“, you could ask “How many idiots does it take to screw in a light bulb?”

The thing is, these Jokes have been with us so long that we no longer associate the words Polish, Pole, Polak, Pollock, with real people, but only the individuals described in the jokes themselves. We might as well leave the name blank and ask you, the user, to insert a name of your own choosing.

Regardless of political correctness, many of our Polish friends find Polish Jokes amusing for the simple reason that they are funny (well, most of them), and that Poles have a sense of humor too. Usually Polish humor is a lot more straightforward:

American girl: Do you know who I think wants my brother’s friends?
Polish girl: Who is a twat?
American girl: No. Do you know who wants my brother’s friends?
Polish girl: Oh. Great. –B61 bus

But some jokes may be like that:

Question: Who wears a forest ranger’s hat and carries a can of kerosene?
Answer: Stanislaus the Fire Prevention Bear of the Polish National Forest Service.

Specific humor are everywhere, that’s originality.

= Good bye!
