accent jokes
Mocking foreign speech
Accent jokes are humor based on imitating or exaggerating how people from particular regions, countries, or ethnic backgrounds speak.
The comedy ranges from affectionate to offensive depending on context and target: His accent jokes about his own Irish family always killed at reunions.
When outsiders mock minority accents, the jokes often carry undertones of prejudice, punching down at immigrants or non-native speakers.
