Bald Jokes
We all know someone who is bald. And even if we are sensitive individuals that don't mention it, or care enough to mention it, chances are a bald friend or family member has been the recipient of some kind of comment. Maybe it is a good natured joke at their expense. We all get that periodically for a number of reasons based on physical characteristics. Or maybe the jokester lets them have it with a baldness insulting tirade. Either way, people neglect to acknowledge the fact that these comments, big or small, can seriously affect the psyche of a follicly-challenged person. Even if the victim of these jokes is not consciously aware of their inner plight, damage is being done on the inside.
Bald jokes are taken more lightheartedly by just about everyone. Like it's a funny and innocent physical attribute to point out. But you must understand that just the same way that it is rude to point that someone is overweight, or has a big nose, it is unnecessary to point out someone's baldness. Bald men tend to let this criticism roll off their back... like it's no big deal. Just remember that bald jokes can be hurtful, even if the person doesn't let on.

Types Of Bald Jokes
Bald jokes usually consist of two types. Bad, and worse. Jokes like these, that go for the jugular, literally, are crude, rude and obnoxious, but can potentially be funny nonetheless. That's kind of the basis of all jokes, right? For the sake of descriptive purposes, bald jokes will be described in much more extensive terms.
Jokes involving baldness are usually centered on bald stereotypes. Strangely enough, a bald head can be seen as vulnerable and a sign of weakness. Sometimes bald men are portrayed as overly-nice, and a lot of jokes based on this stigmatism are yucking it up at bald men's inability to stand up for themselves.
And on the farthest other end of the spectrum, baldness, especially the kind that's on purpose, is looked upon as a sign of toughness. A guy you don't want to mess with. Nasty criminals guilty of terrible crimes. The jokes about this kind of baldness are usually insinuating thug-like behavior and cold, unforgiving demeanors. Bullies and hit men are all lumped in to this category as well.
These two groups categorize the bald jokes you know and love, or hate, depending on your follicular status.
