People who say Freud has been "debunked" aren't much different than people who say Darwin has been "debunked". It's kind of "wishful thinking". Like Darwin, most things Freud has to say are not flattering.
And people don't like unflattering truths, or unflattering ideas, generally.
The only real way to decide if a thinker's ideas have merit, is to read them for yourselves, and decide for yourself.
Pretty much everything Freud wrote is worthwhile (thought-provoking). If you're interested in psychology/philosophy - you will enjoy it.
One cool thing about Freud is he speculated about everything...his thoughts run the gamut from the everyday (jokes & expressions, verbal slips, day-to-day stuff) to the deepest, inner processes that drive identity and sexuality.
The more of it you read, the more you'll want to read.
You can buy something called the "Freud Reader" that contains a lot of excerpts of his best stuff.
https://www.amazon.com/Freud-Reader-Sigmund/dp/0393314030
His works are also available free on the internet.
(Google "Complete Works of Freud" and you can find a single pdf with everything).
The book you're talking about - "Jokes, and their Relation to the Unconscious" is in there.
