Okay, so, first things first - we love French culture and the people. However, that doesn’t mean that we also don’t love to crack a funny joke or two about them! Just the same as we would about any other country and all in good spirit. And, if you agree that eating frog legs or having such a fixation on baked goods calls for an innocent joke or two - you’ve come to the right place. That’s right, this is our selection of French jokes, and it is totally tres bien if you find them hilariously amusing!
So, we guess the main thing that evokes a joke associated with any culture other than ours - in this case, it is jokes about the French - are the cultural differences. And how do people deal with something they do not entirely understand, but also don’t find threatening in any way? Why, they try to make the situation fun, and that’s where these funny French jokes fall. See, it isn’t about stereotypes, but rather trying to understand our differences and appreciating them in the process.
Right, so it is probably just about the time to pour yourself a glass of red, grab a baguette, and skip to the funny jokes about France that we’ve rounded up in this list. Once you are done reading them, give the best jokes your vote and share these little witticisms with your Francophile friends!
