Oh, gosh....
Christmas Cracker jokes managed to be so old that they often reflected the mores and sensitivities of a bygone era.

A bit embarrassing when they were heavy on the racial stereotypes, with thieving Irish, stingy Scots, and of course lazy black people called "Rastus" and "Tarbox"!

And everyone would yell for you to read yours out, then squirm and look disapproving, as if you'd made up the joke yourself!

Still, like everything else that's Bad, there was still a certain guilty pleasure in it.
