Dirty Jokes

Ribaldry, also known as blue comedy in performing arts, is a humorous genre of entertainment that ranges from bordering on indelicacy to indecency, with the humorous elements based on amusingly coarse and morally incorrect or irreverent talk and behavior. Blue comedy is also referred to as "bawdiness" or being "bawdy". Like any humour, ribaldry may be read as conventional or subversive. Ribaldry typically depends on a shared background of sexual conventions and values, and its comedy generally depends on seeing those conventions broken.
