I don't know how it happens in Francophone countries but here "How many [X kind
of people] does it take to change a lightbulb" is a common formula for jokes
poking fun at [X kind of people].

Without having [X kind of people] involved, some of the jokes may work, though
you lose the reason for making the joke in the first place.
