I despise jokes about how much a person hates the opposite gender and their spouse specifically.
It's not a good self-deprecating joke, it's just sad. Get a divorce or break up already. You don't have to be trapped in a miserable relationship. And if you hate the opposite gender so much, consider whether you might be queer.
I disagree if overdone it can get tired and nit funny. Like every family comedy shows that did that.
But Married With Children did it and was funny. Because to me it made fun of that thrope.
But also Rodney Dangerfield did that with his jokes and it was hilarious. But he also made fun of himself.
I think a good general rule there is:
Is the cliche the setup for the joke, or is it the entire punchline?
The former can make for quality humor, but the latter is just being lazy.

ok but if every noun can become an adjective simply by putting a "y" at the end of the word...
Q: How are you feeling today?
A: I'm feeling human-y, thanks for asking.
Q: How's your phone?
A: It's phoney.
I don't get your first joke, but your second one is hilarious! Is the phone real and very phone or is it fake and not phone at all?
How many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?
1
It may not be funny, but it's efficient.
No, it takes at least 2. The second one is there to make sure that the person changing the light bulb doesn't get an electrical shock and dies.

Aww man, I wish I had time to type it out. One of my favorite jokes to tell is a really long garden path story about a man and a one-eyed halibut. It's multiple minutes of setup and the punchline is just bad. It's not even a pun. It's the worst joke I know.
But I love telling it to people because it's almost a practical joke by the time I reach the end.
Nobody laughs the first time. But everyone who's heard it once, laughs when they see me inflict it on a new victim.
US politics?
