I always thought blonde jokes were strange, as though the blonde race were stupid, it didn’t make sense, but it was allowed.
A guy at work one day said, “I got a great Polak joke...”
Another guy said, “Watch it...I’m Polish...”
The first guy said, “I’ll tell it slow...”
Very funny film. James Robertson Justice went on to play Dr. Lancelot Spratt in the “Doctor in the House” films.
As a big fan of Still Game, anyone who’s offended by Scottish humor is a numpty prrrrick!
Whisky Galore!1949! Saw it on TV decades ago now have it on DVD!
Leonarda Jonie would beg to differ. She rips on everyone, especially Indians (the kind from India).
“Scottish logic: if it works, stop talking.”

Nicholas De Santo seems to have fun with ethnic jokes - you can find him on youtube.
Whisky Galore...wasn’t her sister in a James Bond movie?
My favorite Scottish joke:
A Scotsman opens his pay envelope and that finds he’s been overpaid by 10 pounds. He says nothing.
The next week, he opens his pay envelope and finds that he’s been underpaid by 10 pounds. Furious, he goes to see the paymaster.
Scotsman: I’m very angry! You’ve underpaid me by 10 pounds!
Paymaster: You didn’t complain last week when we overpaid you.
Scotsman: I can overlook one mistake. But not two in a row.
This is part of a genre where small-town residents outwit the city slickers (as the article says, Ealing made a number of these).
“The Secret of Santa Vittoria” and “Waking Ned Devine” would be other examples.
I’ve never cared for “My Cousin Vinnie” for that reason - it reverses the concept.
And then there was Firesign Theater, and Mel Brooks.

Okay - I have a joke. Two Scottmen walk out of a bar....hey it could happen!”
Norm MacDonald does a good bit about how he hates polish jokes:
