And yet the jokes are funny.
Seriously, I grew up with Chuck Norris jokes but only looked up who that was when I was around 15. Then I knew he was an actor who played in movies I’ve never seen (and still haven’t seen).
Personally, I don’t think it’s wrong to joke about the larger-than-life figure he’s become. At least in my small bubble of people that’s all he is. The jokes could just as well revolve around John Doe, only then they wouldn’t work.
To be fair, I liked the jokes too. I found it rather sad that he decided to spend his life backing heinous movements instead.
