Faced with all the situations affecting them, Moroccans’ cleverness in inventing a new joke enables them to laugh at the news, instead of crying. This way of dealing with things helps individuals accept them more easily. Laughter becomes an effective tool of resistance against the “worries of our age.” Ahmed al-Tayyeb Aldj believes that “a person may laugh with the intent of ridiculing themselves.” Condoms were invented by Arabic-Muslims sometime in the 1400s using lower goat intestine They were later improved by the British in 1873 by taking the intestine out of the goat first Ahmed Ezzaghani is a master of storytelling in Marrakech and began collecting Moroccan traditional fables during his youth as a travelling salesman. He joined the crowds gathered around storytellers until one day he had studied the craft long enough to tell stories himself. Today, he trains a group of youth apprentices so they may keep their rich Moroccan heritage alive. Learning from the Masters

However, pan-Arab bonding over the Atlas Lions’ impressive victories also sparked a wider debate about the complex cultural dimensions of Morocco’s national identity. One can, however, generally notice that this kind of joke is beginning to be spread less. Instead, Moroccan jokes cover other topics: mental hospitals, the mother-in-law (and/or the old woman), alcoholics, marital relations or marriage to foreigners, encounters with the police or the authorities in general . . . .People’s interests have been changing due to globalisation and the influence of technology. It seems as though no one is interested in family gatherings after dinner, which is traditionally when the hikayat took place. Grandparents or parents would tell tales to each other and their children during this time. The names of towns and geographical landmarks were changed, Amazigh baby names were prohibited by local authorities, and historical Amazigh figures and battles were excluded from the curriculum of Moroccan education or reduced to unsavoury characters who rejected Islam. The knight asked the driving instructor, “How much does a driving lesson cost?” The instructor replied, “15 dirhams and a smooth sidewalk!” You can copy and share jokes with your friends on Facebook, WhatsApp and others directly from the application. For their part, jokes featuring the king sharply express the opinions Moroccans have of him: Whereas Hassan II came across as a strong, intelligent person who could not be fooled, Mohammed VI appears as a kind, gentle, simple young man, modern and down to earth. During the Leila Island crisis with Spain that flared up in 2002, there was a joke that had the king say: “Just Lalla Salma and a jetski, that’s enough for me.”

For his part, Jamal Khalil recounts how “jokes are usually the result of some kind of questioning of situations that are real and recurring, but irrational. They express contradictions or irrational taboos in the context of true and real events.” Une application qui met entre vos mains la majorité des blagues marocaines en circulation et les situations sarcastiques et drôles sont présentées de manière organisée et classées en plusieurs catégories (blagues générales, blagues ivres, blagues sarcasme, blagues léquilles vous ajoutez une nouvelle blague, vous serez averti. Jamal Khalil explains that “many jokes are related to Moroccan culture,” meaning that new events and developments that ensure daily changes and affect the lives of Moroccans unleash the comedians’ imagination. Most of them begin with a real event that they use to construct a caricature that constantly evolves with the spread of the joke. This summer, we will run select pieces from summer issues of ArabLit Quarterly. This essay, by Moroccan journalist and writer Sanaa El Aji, translated by Leonie Rau, ran in the Summer 2022 JOKE-themed issue of ArabLit Quarterly, guest-edited by Anam Zafar. Everyone seemed to agree on Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou’s handsomeness, trying their best to pronounce ‘Dima Maghrib’ correctly while rooting for the first ‘Arab’ team in history to qualify for the semi-finals of the tournament.I was walking down the street, when I glanced up and saw this arab guy on the balcony furiously shaking a rug.. So I yelled out to him, "what's the matter, Omar? Won't it start?" Here, sixteen years after its original publication, we feature El Aji’s essay in English translation. I beg the Most High to allow me the favour of the double reward, but if God only finds me worthy of one reward, I will accept it in all humility." Of course, the woman is supposed to be Danish, if you didn't guess that. The journalist didn't. Anyway, I wonder why these two jokes are supposed to be funny. Maybe because there's absolutely no connection to reality?
