An "off-color joke" means that the joke had words or topics in it that people might find offensive:
sex
bigotry
violence
gore
swearing
And, since the jokes are off-color ... I can't give you any examples! ::blush::

Most people would not tell any off- colour or rude jokes to anyone except their closest friends who share the same sense of humour.These jokes are only funny within a small group, although a group of guys will often tell these to friends after a few drinks at a pub.
