East Frisian
In 1971 the East Frisian comedian and singer, Hannes Flesner, released several LPs with the then new East Frisian jokes ("East Frisia, as it laughs and sings"). Later, the two comedians from East Frisia, Otto Waalkes and Karl Dall, among others, built their careers on East Frisian jokes or the stereotype of the East Frisians and their country. Later joke waves, such as that in the 1980s about Federal Chancellor, Helmut Kohl, or those about Opel Manta drivers, or shortly thereafter about blondes in the 1990s partly took over the structure and content of the East Frisian jokes.
