Poor People Jokes - Appalachia v/s Inner City Ghettos

[Nie Trink Wasser]

If you are going to laugh at the misfortunes of poor/uneducated people, what makes for a better laugh and why ?

[Tricky]

Generally, income level is not ever a topic of humor, only mental traits. Choose your poison: Rednecks, Newfies, Blondes, Polacks, Aggies, Irish, Dan Quayle, or whatever group you can insult without offending the majority of the people around you.

Actually, I think Dilbert does it best with the invention of a country of stupid people which bears no resemblance to an actual country: Elbonia.

I honestly can't think of any really funny jokes where poverty is laughed at.

oh really ?

thats strange.

well....last night I saw a 'joke' on the Daily Show about plastic milk crates being the Appalachian tv table. The audience laughed and Jon Stewart made a comment about being a "damn television elite"..........but who writes that stuff ?

when can we start making fun of how poor people live in the ghetto ?

or am I missing those jokes ?
