I've spent a good chunk of my day thus far watching daytime television and reading jokes on the internet. After going through some of my favorite categories (Dead babies, Black, Handicapped, etc.) I wandered over to the ethnic joke section and giggled (mostly) at the many stereotypes and racist puns.
And while I enjoy the wonderful cliches of the Asian (small penised, speaka rika dis, good at math) jokes, the British (stuck up, bad teeth, hate the French) jokes, the Irish (Drunks, beat their wives) jokes and, of course, the good old Polish (we all know these stereotypes) jokes something dawned on me: I have never, in my 25 years, heard an American joke.
So I ask this of my British, Australian and other-country-dwellers: Is there some collection of American stereotypes that you all giggle about? Is there a "Typical American" that you mimic after a few drinks at the local bar/pub? Is there a standard American joke that is as familiar to your countrymen as "How many Polacks does it take to screw in a light bulb?" is in America?
Fill me in here - what is the rest of the worlds view of the American stereotype?

If a post has over 50 reviews I can no longer be bothered with checking them all to see if someone's said what I want to say before, so forgive me if this is redundant.
I've always seen Americans as enormously fat people squeezed into an oversized battle tank chugging twenty gallons of fuel before you turn the ignition key, shouting at anyone and everyone about everything whilst stuffing their faces with the worst possible foods imaginable.

I like Americans, however whenever we meet one in person it will invariably end up in us taking the piss out of how they pronounce certain words.
Nike is a popular one. (pronounced "Nikeee" by every American I've ever met).
You don't ride a "bikeee" or go on a "hikeee". So what the fuck??
--------------------
Well, if you want to split hairs, Nike took their name from the Greek Goddess of Victory - Knee-Kay, being the correct pronuciation of the Goddess.
---------------------
Actually, it's "Knee-Key"

How about this one:
500,000 Americans walk into a conflict. They do absolutely no geopolitical or sociocultural research and find themselves in another military quagmire that proves they haven't learned shit over the last 40 years and that they still think a "hulk smash!" approach to war will win against an army that doesn't have a flag, a military or even a particularly consistent ideology.

However Americans refer to petrol as "gas" when it is quite clearly a liquid. That's just stupid.

gasoline is a liquid which is what gas is short for.
hearing anyone say nike as if it's a long I with one syllable is just ridiculous. just like the english thing where you add Rs especially at the end of words where there is no R is ridiculous.

I've always thought that 'seppo' was the brit slang for septic tank, yank, seppo being the way to break it down.
And it wasn't 'Green Street Hooligans' that taught me that.

Despite visiting a number of other countries, I really hadn't heard many slang terms for or jokes about Americans until I started visiting Uber. That may have something to do with my such visits either being 'fly in and go straight to the walled resort compound' or 'show up in a giant grey floating airport with enough juice to turn the whole landscape into a sheet of black lumpy glass'. Tourist money and bombs seem to make people behave differently than they might otherwise do.
My favorite so far: Seppo. Love that one. American - Yankee - Yank - Septic Tank - Septic - Seppo. How I'm supposed to be insulted by this I have no idea. When I first heard it I thought it was American - Separatist - Seppo. No; too easy, too straightforward, too much validation of the American Revolutionary War. The Brit version requires both thought and Cockney rhyming slang. Nonetheless, when I read "Seppo" I still think "Separatist". My fellow Seppos, give that thought a run 'round your head.

I have no jokes, When me and my mates talk about americans it usually is from experience. Americans tend to make a joke of themselves.
When I was in Thailand, I was drinking at this tourist bar in Bangkok,
I was sitting in that bar with a mixture of kiwis, aussies, brits, and the man from amsterdam. We had been sitting there all night ordering mai tais, they came in a bucket, and we ladled.
Then 5 americans walk in and join us, and as soon as they sat down they asked the waiters if they spoke 'American'
The disgust was unanimous.
However, there was another time in new zealand, just after the smoking ban in bars had started, I was standing under a narrow shelter, cradling my cigarette, and met two american girls, who were 23 years old, they were awesome. They ended up hanging out with my mates and I in a random suburb, smoking weed and playing poker.

I'm not sure about jokes specifically, but if you want to check on what other Engrish speakers think of Americans, you should check out the Urban Dictionary. Lots of slang and pejoratives to describe everything you never wanted to know about.

They went to England (briefly) a few years ago. They were tickled because they (like me) enjoy hearing the various British accents.
For instance, they returned with a story about trying to find the 88 bus (or something like that). When they asked, they were told to catch the "eye d eye rye 'ere."
They're still smiling about that.

They can speak a little Russian (self taught!) because they made some friends over there and visit every other year.
They were in France once. They don't speak any French but said that they didn't have any problems because they made sure to be Uber-polite.
They found some really neat electronic dictionary/phrase book that they carry with them whenever they travel. It has several languages programmed into it.

Well Ms. Squirrely, American jokes abound from what I understand. It is well proper that you asked this here since most of the non-Americans on this site loathe us.
Here is a joke for you.

They're just pissed because we drive on the correct side of the road.

Q: What is the last thing a Redneck ever says?
A: "HEY FELLERS! WATCH THIS!"

Non-Americans on Uber loathe us? Pa-shaw you say! Surely they see as as great role-models of the free world filled with culture and grace - a sort of "Big Brother/ Big Sister" if you will. You know, before we bomb them and shit.

There are no "How many americans does it take to..." jokes because we are the best and everyone knows that it takes one hard-working, blue-collar, ignorant, xenophobic, cousin-fucking, McDonalds-eating, redneck American to screw in a lightbulb. DUH!
USA! USA! USA!

Haha, you're interested in what other cultures think of Americans. How very un-American of you.

I think we're seen as being overly religious prudes. The rest of the world ROTFLOL when we impeached Bill Clinton for getting a BJ from that fat little slut Monica Lewinski.

Depends on where you come from, I guess. I've heard plenty of jokes about people from Alabama, Arkansas, Texas, New York, Massachusetts (Kennedys), Utah (Mormons), and of course Florida.
Q: What did the Alabama girl say after she lost her virginity?
A: "Get off me Daddy, you're mashing my cigarettes."
---------------------
I know the jokes we have for our own (The Southerners are all rednecks, people from California are Hippies, New Yorkers are assholes, etc.) but I was wondering if there is one big "American's are seen as" stereoptype that other cultures view us as (other than infidels, that is)

Method might be a redneck, but the rest of us Americans are typically fat, selfish, wasteful sloths.
