It’s usually borderline prejudice and rude when people use stereotypes about different racial backgrounds but stereotypes about other groups like teachers, family roles and school can be kind of funny and relatable.
Good Example. Grandmas cook the best macaroni!
Bad Example. I date Black Women because I don’t have to meet their father.

@BunnyBrawler Yeah, the second one would be the lowest of the low.

@BunnyBrawler so true - I am watching a bunch of old black and white movies on youtube and shake my head a bit when they insert a gratuitous scene with black people and show them as uneducated and comical.

Definitely depends on the stereotype. Some stereotypes are outwardly vicious, like Jews being casted as miserly manipulators. Some stereotypes are kind of harmless, like Canadians being friendly and black people making fantastic fried chicken. And of course, a joke can never be just stereotypes; it's got to be at least a hair clever in its own right.

@BlueVeins There is stereotype that we Mexicans are good at fixing cars, which is actually true 😂.

Positive stereotypes are sometimes funny. Negative stereotypes are tiresome, especially when the stereotypical bad guys do their best to meet or exceed said stereotypes.
depends on the stereotype

It can range from hysterical to disappointing.

Some stereotypes fit and some don't, and it takes a little time ( From a few seconds to a few minutes ) to investigate the person/situation before I can say funny and fitting, or distasteful.

Depends in what context they are used. If ya hired/fired someone on them sure its bad But if you make a harmless joke no one gets hurt.

It depends on what it is and how it is used/presented...

It really depends. Some can be funny just because they’re dumb while others, not so much.

They can be funny and distasteful, normally they are just boring.

blackface - no
japanese tourists with cameras - no
bad women/asian drivers - no
not all people comform to one set of traits
that being said - there's nothing funnier than the human race - or sadder

I find them to be highly ignorant. Because when u make generalizations then perhaps you are not ready to accept the stereotypes people have about you. Not you persay, but I just wanted to make it sound fancy. 🙂

@Zonuss True.
