Life / What is the reason for POLISH jokes ? [486]

Its not so much the "jokes" per se, its the stereotype that Poles have subhuman intelligence. It was propaganda pushed by certain nations and Hollywood which then turned into so called "Polish jokes".

It was obviously used to degrade Poles. And yes the world does not revolve around Poland but WE are on a Polishforum aren't we? The topic is Polish jokes isn't it?

Which begs the question why is a German like you on here all the time? I put up a message and within minutes you're responding to it and I haven't been in this forum in months.

But there are different kinds of Polish jokes.

The early Polish jokes in the US were along the lines of anti-immigrant jokes that all groups got. The subhuman intelligence jokes about Poles were always popular in Germany (at least the stereotype that Poles have inferior/subhuman intelligence) and was later pushed in Nazi propaganda.

But in the US it was Hollywood that pushed it not the Germans per se.

Yes isn't that amazing? Hollywood is against Nazi propaganda EXCEPT for when its against Polish people.

Its just like Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were AGAINST each other YET they still had a LOVE affair on somethings like destroying Poland together with the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

Hollywood pushed the stereotype that Poles have subhuman intelligence in their movies. Like recently in the movie "Land of the Lost" with Leftist Polish-hater Will Ferrell. Then there were other anti-Polish movies like "SWAT" and the first "Bruce Almighty". So here it is Poles are doing absolutely nothing yet their being attacked with repetitive big lie propaganda.

Oh stop it. Even though the Nazi Germans were sick human beings they were still human beings and still knew how to tell and laugh at jokes. Especially when they were mocking those they hated.

How do you explain how Germans loved laughing at German movies like the "Eternal Jew" or "The Jew Zeus" where Jews were portrayed as having "rat like" qualities?

Here Hilter and his German audience are having a good laugh when the allies were telling Nazi Germany not to invade countries

The origin of Polish jokes came from Nazi German propaganda.

And yes the Germans did know how to make jokes and laugh. They loved mocking and laughing at people who they hated. The Nazi German public had a good laugh when they watched German movies like "The Eternal Jew" or the "Jew Zeus". Where Jews were parodied and mocked as having "rat like" qualities.

Go on youtube and search for "Hitler Comedy" where it shows Hitler laughing with his German audience when the British requested that Germany not invade other countries.

Interesting that the jokes that make you 'LOL' are ones about physical violence towards people.

First of all "it was a JOKE"! And "nothing was meant by it" Isn't that what Polish-haters have told Polish people when they tell subhuman intelligence jokes about Poles dying and getting killed (the ultimate form of violence)?

only Poland would have such a stupidly complicated language

With all due respect, wouldn't that reply just be a racist anti-Polish remark?

If a language is complicated it should mean that the people who speak it are intelligent so of course only an anti-Polish Bigot would say the Polish language is "stupidly" complicated.

"Stupidly complicated" is usually an oxymoron and sounds just like someone who is just reaching to say something racist against Poles. If the Polish language is "stupidly complicated" then so are all of the other Slavic languages Russian, Ukraine, etc since they are all of Slavic origin and similar to Polish.

But then again the origin of the Polish "jokes" came from German Nazi propaganda since the Nazi Germans felt the Poles had inferior/subhuman intelligence since they were Slavic and anti-Nazi German.

Two of Hitler's speeches after he invaded Poland included subhuman intelligence jokes (Polish "jokes) about Poles. Hitler then proceeded to kill first the educated class of Poland first in an attempt to make his racist notion about Poland having "inferior intelligence" a so called reality.

So basically some good responses to racist Polish "jokes" would be:

-If you want to tell a good Polish "joke" why don't you say it in the original Nazi German language?

-So you agree with the Nazi Germans (who started these racist Polish "jokes") who sayed Poles have subhuman intelligence? So you like Nazis eh?

-Why are most Polish "jokes" so short?
So that the racist Nazi idiots who tell them can understand them.

-What's black and blue and red all over?
A bigot who told a Polish "joke",

Or you can be a little edgy and say this joke:

Did you hear what happened to the bigot telling Polish "jokes"?

His house got unabombed.

LOL

FinT

If this did happen, how do we know you didn't say anything racist to the Poles first?

This also is like one of the biggest canards/lies Polish-haters use to bash Polish people.

They will say things like "I knew these Polish people saying these racist things and tellling racist jokes" blah blah blah....SO THEN I told them some anti-Polish things/Polish jokes to "get back at them".

You're such a liar. Yeh like I'm sure you understood the Polish language these Poles were speaking in.

To Bratwurst Boy,

Yes the Nazis and did develope the "Polish jokes" since it was in two of Hitler's speeches after he invaded Poland. The Nazis felt Poles had subhuman intelligence and then they killed the educated class of Poland first to make their anti-Polish propaganda a "reality".

And the Commie Soviets did use Nazi propaganda against the Polish when it suited them. During the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact Soviet Communists were the biggest collaborators with the Nazis UNTIL the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union. Communist sympathizers in Hollywood after WWII pushed subhuman intellligence "jokes" about Poles so that the American people would not have sympathy for the suffering Poles went through at the hands of the Soviet Communists.

I explained all this in my last message but most of it got deleted.

PS Dear Editor why did you delete most of my last posting?

Origin of Polish “jokes” came from Nazi German propaganda that was then pushed by Soviet communist sympathizers in Hollywood.
