Both outside and within a [[profession]] such as [[law]] there are [[joke]]s which serve to poke fun at the peculiarities of the profession. Such [[humor]] is called '''professional humor'''. Jokes tend to exploit popular stereotypes about the profession in question: [[Lawyer jokes|lawyer jokes]] might present them as lacking in ethics, [[Scientist jokes|scientist jokes]] might play up their lack of worldly wisdom  and [[accountancy]] jokes might address "creative accounting". A speaker at a professional seminar will often break the ice with a bit of professional humor. 

The title of the accountancy journal ''Accountancy Matters'' has been represented as an example of [[irony|ironic]] professional humour.

Professional humor is distinct from [[in-joke]]s, which can only be appreciated only a member of a specific profession or community.

See also: [[Mathematical joke]]s.
