Blonde jokes are a class of jokes based on a stereotype of dumb blonde women.^[1]

Common traits

Many blonde jokes are simply variations on other racist jokes, sometimes adapted to make them less offensive. Blonde jokes nearly always take the format of the blonde placing herself in a situation or making a comment that serves to highlight her supposed promiscuity and/or lack of intelligence (clumsiness and cluelessness). The blonde of the joke is usually placed in an unusual situation with a brunette or redhead. A British variant of the blonde joke is the Essex girl, which became popular in the late 1980s, and satirises working-class girls from the county of Essex. Italian versions of the joke involve Carabinieri.

Criticism

Like all humor based on stereotypes, blonde jokes are considered offensive to many people. However, blonde jokes, unlike other jokes that target minorities, are not recognized by society as being hurtful and can be seen/heard in the media, such as newspapers and television.

Blonde jokes have been criticized as sexist by several authors.^[2] Research shows that men find blonde jokes significantly more amusing than women say they do.^[3]
