Argentine humour is exemplified by a number of humorous television programmes, film productions, comic strips and other types of media. Everyday humour includes jokes related to recurrent themes, such as xenophobic jokes at the expense of Galicians (Spaniards) called chistes de gallegos (where they are commonly portrayed as simpletons), often obscene sex-related jokes (chistes verdes, literally "green jokes", a term equivalent to the English-language "blue humour"), jokes about the English, the Americans, blonde women, dark humour (called humor negro), word and pronunciation games, jokes about Argentines themselves, etc. In early 2018, a report carried out by the consultant D'Alessio IROL that inquired about the humor of Argentines concluded that jokes about physical "defects", gender identity, sexual orientation, and those that objectify women were no longer considered funny. The advancement of the feminist movement, in particular Ni una menos, and the rights acquired by the LGBT community have been crucial to this process. (en) |
