The deal with joke telling is that it depends on what country it is being told. Jokes that are funny to Americans might not be so for others, and vise-versa. For example, some of the funniest jokes in America are ones that portrays people doing stupid things, because they are not smart enough to catch on to the situation. In Mexico, the funniest jokes are called "picardia", which are jokes that have an underlining meaning...like...

Boy: How are you today...
Girl: Fine...
Boy, Yes, I can "see" that!

I lived in Mexico for two years, and found that most people love jokes that have hidden sexual undertones in them. In the U.S...it appears that everybody knows who Jeff Foxworthy is.

Different countries have their own genre of fun.
