Ok so I got a few jokes - but in now way I mean this to be offensive to anybody. Yes I am Indian, son of an Air Force Pilot, and these jokes are directed towards Pakistan, but still!
Q: How do you stop a Pakistani tank?
A: Shoot the people pushing it.
Q: How do you sink a Pakistani battleship?
A: Put it in water
Q: Did you hear about the Pakistani Air-Force helicopter crash?
A: The pilot felt cold, so he turned off the fan.
Q: Did you hear about the shutdown of the Karachi National Library?
A: Somebody stole the book.
Q: Did you hear about the latest Pakistani invention?
A: It’s a solar powered flashlight.

Do you actually class these as “intellectual jokes”?
A few quotes I like:
Entropy isn’t what it used to be…
“Stone walls do not a prism make, nor iron bars a diffraction grating.”
Q. What did one electron say to the other electron?
A. Don’t get excited. You’ll only get into a state!
A neutron walks into a bar. “I’d like a beer” he says.
The bartender promptly serves up a beer.
“How much will that be?” asks the neutron.
“For you?” replies the bartender, “no charge”
Humor is humor. How are these jokes different from what I posted. Both are equally funny and serve the purpose. Yes one is more nerdy than the other, but so what?
By the way, love the neutron in a bar joke - awesome!

Because it isnt a thread for general jokes. An intellectual joke will require knowledge beyond that of the average person, for instance an old style wanted sign that says “Wanted: Schrodingers cat, dead or alive”, or require a bit of thought. Unfortunately most witty jokes don’t transfer well in text and require a situation, so nerdy jokes tend to reign supreme here.
The jokes you posted just say “Look, Pakistanis are poor!” or similar. I wasn’t saying these jokes were bad, I was asking if you thought this was intellectual.
Seeing some people liked my real life annecdotes…here are another two.
Electromagnetism lecture and the lecturer’s surname is Kraus (german)…and yes he can draw perfect circles. He also subsections things into things like 12.3.4 and 12.3.5. Anyway…some classic quotes.
“This is Gauss’s Law. It is very powerful…but it doesn’t work in general”
The monk then gives the vendor a $5 bill for the $2 hot dog. After waiting for a few moments, he asks for change. The buddhist hot dog vendor replies, " ah, but change comes from within."
kidding of course. A few of those are actually pretty good!
