My friend Mike Guidone contributed a large list of jokes about the French. I have edited it, added a few, and put it HERE for your enjoyment.

NOTE: Many Europeans have used this as a place to post their opinions. That’s fine… but postings which contain nothing but insults or are loaded with obscenities will be deleted. You are welcome to disagree with American positions or the French boycott. But if you want others to read your disagreement, follow the rules. Those Frenchmen or Germans or (today) Greeks who make content-free insulting posts hardly raise my already low opinion of the responsibility or sensibility of those from Old Europe.
Dear Frenchwoman, we don’t hate all the French. I hope that the jokes offend anti-american French, whom you are not. Other than that, many of them are actually funny. Many are classic forms, where you can replace the word “french” or “france” with any ethnic group or nation.
I lived in Paris during the first gulf war. Most French people were very nice to us and we greatly enjoyed the experience (and the food!).
But… the French elected Chirac and hence are collectively responsible for his actions. However, I recognize that a number of French (a minority it appears) still have reasonable views about America and world affairs. Unfortunately, it is a minority!
I am sorry you were offended by the jokes. As I said, they are meant as humor for americans and to offend the anti-american french, for whom I have nothing but loathing.

whats the definition of confusion?
fathers day in paris
The French where instrumental in the US achieving independence, you shouldn’t forget that. Its a little sad to react so strongly to the French exercising their right to object to the crazy ideas of a Texan half wit. And lets face it, even the most jingoistic patriot must now have a sneaking suspicion that George really did screw things up after all
I wonder why the Europeans have such a problem with humor. This particular article is about jokes about the French. Jokes about nationalities are not exactly unusual.
But we are rather displeased with the French because they were not reacting on matters of principle but rather were actively obstructing our efforts and propping up a vicious dictatorship because of money. Furthermore they blackmailed the Turks to oppose us, which no doubt has cost American lives.
Besides, I think saving France’s bacon from the Germans in both WW-I and WW-II sort of makes up for the (welcome) help of the French over 200 years ago. Of course, in order to do so in WW-II, we had to sink the French fleet, which was fighting for the Germans! But hey, that was pretty simple to do. Hence the joke about how to find the French fleet.
Why is it necessary for the french to carry shit around in their wallets?
Because their law requires them to carry at least on form of id
