Minnesota Jokes and Stories
We Love to Laugh at Ourselves!
Minnesota jokes and stories are passed from family to family and down through the generations. The Scandinavians among us have given rise to the "Ole and Lena" jokes. Minnesota Vikings jokes help us ease the pain of the many "so close, yet so far away" results of the football season. We really know that the joke is on us as we make fun of our accent, our weather, our habits and more.
We Minnesotans have a great ability to recognize our unique ways and to laugh at ourselves. A popular book is titled How to Talk Minnesotan: A Visitor's Guide. Several well known Minnesota entertainers have made sharing Minnesota "distinctiveness" their life's work. Garrison Keillor, of A Prairie Home Companion fame, makes his living by recognizing the humor in Minnesota's Norwegian Bachelor Farmers, Lutheran Pastors, Scandinavian cooking and those of us who haunt the local café to eat rhubarb pie.
