Why do you think people tell so many blonde jokes? I am always getting pointed fun at with blonde jokes, yet almost all of the jokes are stupid......and usually told by nonblondes. Where did the idea that blonds are stupid come from? (I'm sure from someone ignorant!)
Do you really feel it is fair or necessary to make fun of others for something as silly as their hair color? Could it be that some people are just jealous of blondes? Or do you think there is another reason behind these jokes?

I think that it can be related to the sterotypical thought that asians are smart. It has nothing to do with the person or were they came from. At one time it was a joke on a single person that had spread.

no it is not fair to make fun of people because of there hair color. it could of been the other way around. other women my be jealous of blonds because i always hear that they have all the fun and maybe that they want to be blonds.

I believe that this is one of those things where one group of people are targeted for no reason other than that they just get made fun of because everybody does and it is something easy for other people to do.

Jokes are funny. Get a sense of humor. Get back at someone if you dont like it.

i don't agree that all blondes are stupid. even the majority i would say aren't how they are protraid in the blonde jokes that are slung everyday. i don't however believe that blondes are made fun of because of jealousy, mostly people come up with these kinds of jokes because they have nothing better to do with their lives and enjoy other people's misery.

I have met just as many blondes as dark harired people and i think that they are both the same but blonde girls even make fun of themselfs sometimes.

I think that blonds are just as inteligent as the others for the most part.

I think blonde jokes are just stereotypical jokes. Just like stereotypical jokes they can be funny in a hurtful way. I think blondes are just as smart as people with different color hair.

Blonde jokes are a class of drogatory jokes based on a "dumb blonde" sterotype of blonde women being unintelligent,sexually promiscuious, or both. In other parts of modern culture blonde women are protrayed as "promiscuous,"leading to the sterotype blondes "have more fun".Jean Harlow and Marylyin Monroe were notable bleach blondes sex icons of the 20th century America, frequently portraying the sterotypicaldumb blonde in flims.

I think that started in the 1980s. I cant recall the name of the movie, but you know how the words, like, no way,& like, O my gooood,all that came from that movie, it was very popular, and yes they were blonds.It kinda just spreaded like an epidimic.I dont think you should take offense to it, because its never going anywhere,there will always be blond jokes.

English student said...

Because how ever is making the blode joke is just jealous that they can't get one.From other stupid people that are jealous that their not.No I do not think it is. Yes I do. No

Its nothing personal to any blonde's, it's just that most blondes act ditzy(air heads). Its not right but you normally always catch a blonde doing something stupid or asking something stubid.

I think it is very ignorant to make jokes about the color a person choses to wear. A lot of woman choose to dye their hair blond,so it can't be that bad. I belive the ones thats telling the jokes are just jealous,and really want to be blond themselfs. Many suscessful woman are blond,and very smart.

No, it’s not necessary to make fun of someone for their hair color, yet people do it all the time. I don’t really get it. I’ not a blonde but people call me Barbie all the time and try to make a joke about it, so maybe they’re just insecure. I don’t think people are jealous of blondes. Someone may be jealous of someone who is prettier than them who could happen to be blonde but I don’t think the hair color is the whole reason why someone is jealous. Anyone can be a blonde if they want. It’s just hair. I can’t tell you the reason for the jokes but I do know blondes don’t tell these jokes because that would be a stupid thing to do. The hair doesn’t affect your brain.

I FEEL BLONDE JOKES ARE STUPID BUT MOST OF THE THINGS PEOPLE SAY ABOUT BLONDES SEEM TO BE TRUE BECAUSE MOST BLONDES ACT AS IF THE JOKES ARE TRUE.

I really don't know where the blonde jokes come from. But i've heard many of them I don't think its fair for blondes to be made fun of. No one should be in that situation to get talked about anyway.
