As I remember the 1970s joke wars, they were driven by tabloid newspapers on both sides, and all in good fun between friendly nations.
I learned later that many of the jokes were translated American "Polish jokes".
- stareatgoats 2y ago> all in good fun Well, not everybody's idea of good fun I guess, friendly nations or not. But what do I know, I only visit Norway once in a blue moon nowadays. I have actually yet to hear a good "swede joke" at all actually; maybe they are just a myth?
- bewaretheirs 2y ago> I have actually yet to hear a good "swede joke" at all actually; maybe they are just a myth? Perhaps most of the good Swede jokes moved to Minnesota? (seriously, a bunch of the intra-scandinavian humor seems to be of Scandahoovian-American origin. Like the "10,000 Swedes chased through the weeds / by one Norwegian" thing.)
- BurningFrog 2y agoI think it ended in the 80s at the latest. No joke can run forever.
