Inappropriate jokes from your youth (1 Viewer)

[NorthernWisdom]

How to age us all this...

But sparked by, for some reason, it flipping into my head that a common joke at primary school for us was:

How many people can you fit in a Mini?
Five, two in the front, two in the back, and Indira Gandhi in the ashtray.

My, it's a classic(!) but who else am I going to tell it to, nearly 40 years later?!?

So what was going round in your schooldays...?

Good Try mate

Have you heard of the Ethiopian boxing champion - Starvin' Hagler

 

[shmmeee]

An awful lot of anti Indian/Pakistani “jokes” I won’t repeat, sadly.

 

[shmmeee]

Although: how do you start an Ethiopian rave? Glue some toast to the ceiling.

Always made me chuckle. Not sure what the modern equivalent of Ethiopia is.

 

[Nick]

Yeah I'm not going to post them.

I've never heard that before.

The Lord Mountbatten dandruff one was the top favourite at our school back in my day

Does anyone remember when Blue Peter decided to highlight disabled people and featured Joey Deacon in his wheelchair trying to do things? Anybody at school struggling to do anything was instantly called Joey.

Likewise the drunk driving advert, "just one more dave".

Yeah this was my first thought, unfortunately.

I heard this story from a work colleague just a couple of weeks ago. I think i had stopped watching Blue Peter (and left school) by then - probably because Sarah Greene wasn't on it anymore!

Calling people a Joey persisted for years, not sure if it is still going

Really inappropriate that one. Prepare to be cancelled by the woke mob.

 

[rob9872]

Wasn't sure if I dare to open this up and sadly not disappointed.

Seems it's ok to post racist shit if you head it up with being "from years ago but of course I wouldn't say that now"

I don’t see how when it’s what students say to me

It’s a line from the rap parody ‘Man’s Not Hot’ by ‘Big Shaq’ 5-6 years ago

Thanks. I can't pretend I'm aware of his work. Although as he's post 1982 it's not a huge surprise that I don't have one of his cassettes

His raps are parodies of real ones, most of the kids unaware of that. Was very big in 2018

Is that an inappropriate joke? Just quoting lyrics at you.

Denigrating someone for not being physically attractive is not on.

You must always treat people with kindness

tbf most of us don't have a clue if it is or if it isn't!

Living here in the West Country, local bbc radio Brizzle now call the rovers manager Joe Barton now and not Joey!!

Simon Weston’s getting a divorce.

As his kids look nothing like him.
