History of Pirate Jokes

Pirate jokes have been around for a long time. The basic plot of pirate jokes has originated from the way pirates stereotypcially talked, using words such as ‘Arrgh’ and ‘ahoy’ and ‘matey.’ Aspects of this language were common to sailors in general, but pirates are apparently more jokeworthy! Like any group of people, the pirates had their own lingo that was sometimes unclear to outsiders. Pirates are usually seen as troublemakers, thieves, and criminals. They usually went around robbing others, sometimes even killing them, and the prizes they got from the victims were known as ‘loot’ or ‘booty.’ Lots of pirates even made their unique outfits from the items they stole. Most pirates stole things such as money or gold, expensive materials such as watches or jewels, clothes, and other things that were expensive or useful. That's why some pirate jokes revolve around the pirates' pursuit of treasARR.
