 Well, no it isn't, necessarily.   Much of the time the joke is
 aimed at the male - the butt of the humour isn't the 
 character being personified, but rather at the impersonator.
 

No point trying to explain a joke. Especially to people who can't laugh at
themselves.

 And even if it had been, using it as a launching pad for a 
 racist dig at the British really wasn't the best way of 
 making your point.
 

People can be as racist as they like about us. We just roll our eyes

With all respect, Marnie; any group who find themselves being the

I think women have the advantage of a better defined sex role, and a 
better outlook on how they want it to develop for the future. IMHO, 
the male role nowadays is mostly defined by what women want it to be, 
or by a futile resistance against change called for by the changing 
female role. I think this holds a good potential for humour, even as a 
man. :-)

I also remember Tootsie as a very funny, American, film. If that 
makes me sexist, then with apologies, let it so be. :-)

Not saying we don't do it at all. There was also a TV show long, long ago

Good pts, Jostein. About changing male roles. That seems the best explanation 
in some cases. Not all, but some. :-)

And, BTW, Keith, I haven't heard the Lumberjack song, so maybe you are right 
that it is more a riff on macho macho man (the movie In and Out with Kevin 
Kline did it too).

Also all the Brit shows I mentioned are pretty old, Monty Python, Benny Hill. 
Maybe British humor has changed a bit. 

Ditto, Jostein, you're right, any group being made fun of may completely fail 
to see the humor. I think that was partly my point, actually. Who is being 
made fun of? Really?

But, yeah, some could be poking fun at machoism.

I'm not a fanatic Python fan; I think they've done some funny

The Lumberjack song has one of those catchy tunes that gets stuck 
in your head (mine anyway), it's quite silly and, for me, I 
always saw it as sending up big, manly men with huge biceps and 
hairy chests who stride about chopping things down, knocking

Not to mention the Saxons, Jutes, and Celts.  It will be great fun when  
DNA analysis lets us see where we all really came from.  Apparently, most  
Hassidic Jews are descended from four original mothers, and most  
Thoroughbred race-horses have been shown to be descended from ten original  
dams.  Of course, we already know that all of them are descended from  
three sires.  An earlier John Forbes was beheaded by James II (and  
posthumously pardoned, which is why Forbeses tend not to favour the death  
penalty).  Be nice to know if I am related.

What you are missing here, though, is the British tradition of Pantomime
(and, for even earlier examples, both Mummers and Morris), where there is
always a strong comedy lead played as a cross-dressed 'female'.
 
 I figure the British are really uptight about sex and/or have very strict

 Or both.

I can assure you, having lived in both societies, that the Americans are
far, *far* more uptight about sex than even the most represssed of Brits.

Can you imagine a US national newspaper publisher even considering for
an instant publishing a topless photograph of a woman?  Yet for many
years that has been a regular feature of the Sun - so long, in fact,
that when Murdoch's publishing group (which owns the Sun) purchased
the Times newspaper group Fison's agricultural products took the
opportunity to take out a full-page advertisement on page three of
the first issue of the Times under the new management (page three
is where the Sun pictures appear: see page three girl for details).
The advertisement featured a topless woman - the Venus de Milo.

Do you really intend to tell me I read like ten or fifteen posts that 
referenced CHAINSAWS, and CANADA and not ONE of you had even the 
slightest inkling to bring up the Lumberjack Song???


Really...it's unacceptable coming from you lot.


The Lumberjack song is a British thing.


Well...I would say it is a Python thing and that kind of insanity 
transcends all boundaries.

Actually, I fail to see why dressing up as a woman is funny.

Seems antifeminist -- like you throw like a girl.

Me too.
If high heels and hose are involved, it's not only unfunny, it's 
unnecessarily uncomfortable, too.

Sez me, anyway.

I've thought of several responses but I suspect I'll just get 
into more trouble. I think I'll just get out of this thread and 
be thankful I didn't get in any deeper...

On 4/2/06, Bob W, discombobulated, unleashed:

We don't have lumberjacks. We have arboriculturists. 

All together now:

I'm an arboriculturist and I'm ok...

Cheers,
 Bob (an arboriculturist's uncle!)

But he still wears suspenders and a bra.




Cheers,
