MODERATORS
From the UK, actually born in Essex. Yes, 20-30 years ago people laughed at these, me included. These days you wouldn't tell them in public, if at all. Same as for 'Englishman, Irishman, Scotsman' jokes.
Anytime you're picking on someone for a characteristic that:
That's a bad look. These days if you tell a joke like this at work you're likely to get bad looks and your sudden employment will look bad.
This is probably true in your little social circle but crude jokes are still told most everywhere and they will by and large still get a good knee slap.
