Are there any topics you don't joke about? Topics that,
when someone makes a joke about it, you just go silent or
say "that's not fucking funny bitch." I'd imagine one
example is stuff like rape.. like, if someone says "ha! I'll
definitely rape that one tonight!" in a joking manner, and
then you'll just turn around and leave.

?

yes, there are a few... i usually don't like racist or
sexist jokes. and rape is the subject i really don't
joke about and don't want to hear jokes about.

I don't like jokes about people made right after they die
(some of the croc hunter stuff did piss me off).. it just
shows poor taste.

Other then that I don't take offense to anything other then
personal insults. People who get offended at broad ideas
("Dude don't make fun of gay people around me. It's
offensive" over everything.

Subjects don't annoy me. A few humans do, but thats mainly
by the way they act, and not necessarily the things they
talk about. Besides, taboo subjects can be funny. Just watch
Brass Eye.

if someone makes a racist joke it can be uncomfortable
because you might think they are actually racist, but the
fact that the joke is on that subject isnt really a problem

There's few things as soul crushing as when you're talking
to someone, say a work colleague, and, you know, you're not
that close but you get along, you think they're pretty
decent. Then, one day, in an almost confidential manner,
they tell you a really lame rascist joke, that betrays both
their lack of a sense of humour and their estimation of you,
that they think you might find this funny and that you too,
secretly, harbour the same fear and mistrust of other races.
That's unfunny.

I'm personally a big fan of rascist jokes, but i only tell
them to people that know that i'm not rascist in any way.
The situation dog_belch desbribes would be horrible.
Rascist jokes to me, makes fun of people that are rascist.

Generally, with my friends, we take the piss on anything,
but one thing i never make fun of is cancer. It's simply
because my mom had it when i was younger, so a joke like
that makes me think of that (it sucked).

Nothing really does if its said at the right time, but at
the wrong time or with the wrong intent, I will get pretty
pissed.

Also, I get mad when they are really cheap, easy jokes,
using just shock factor for humor..

Anything is fair game, I can find anything funny and I'm
offended by absolutely nothing. If I had terminal ass
cancer, I'd still find jokes about ass cancer hilarious. But
I watch myself around people I'm not overly familiar
with/close to. I don't say anything remotely politically
incorrect, ever, unless I'm absolutely sure it won't
offend.

The things I joke about with some people that I AM close to
and comfortable with are awful and evil, though we take
great care to not be overheard by anyone not in ''the
loop''. The awfulness of it becomes like a running joke, and
you can't help but take it as far as it can go. Not hurting
anyone if you pick your spots.

I should add that someone that IS actually racist making
racist jokes is infuriating, but a racist joke made by
someone that loves all humanity can be a joy.

haha, I don't really think you would truly never be
offended, but me and my mates do the same thing as you're
talking about there.. the worse it is the better it is..
it's not necessarily about making it funny, though, it's
just.. the grossness of it, and most of the time we don't
even find it funny ourselves (like a song we made about
raping underage nuns before cannibalising them), but there's
something about the whole process that makes everything
else
seem just.. really really ridiculous...

Points: 4540 Status: Regular



gay jokes generally piss me off. yeah, gay people like
penises (if they are male), lets see how many jokes we can
come up with around that...

it's not really the subject matter of "gay people" that I
find distasteful (the gay voice can be funny to me) but
rather the people who choose to constantly make awful,
stupid, punny jokes about what gay people do. I'm
mostly talking about one of my slightly stupid friends, he
also loves talking about black people (I let him think I
agree with him just to see how far he'll go, he goes pretty
far. letting him think I agree also lets me reel him back
once he's gone off the deep end; it's a delicate situation).


but it's easy to become racist at this school--they import
an all-black, inner city (american) football team and they
are the most flamboyant, stereotypical meat-headed black
guys you could ever hope to see. And other than maybe one
other black guy in the school, they're all anyone's exposed
to. The irony is that the football team is awful, they
didn't win a single game last year.

Yeah, most of the jokes aren't genuinely funny, but that...
just makes it funnier. The worst is when you walk by a
person of, say, a different race, and someone makes a racist
joke and you just can't believe they just said that. We
harbour no such thoughts, we hate people that do, yet you
said that horrible thing anyway. It's just so wrong on so
many levels. Hard not to laugh at the absurdity.

One of the coolest things you can do is make racist jokes
with people of a different race. It really makes you feel...
close to them.

And maybe I could be offended. You'd have to make a horrible
joke about my grandparents or something. It just never
happens though. Unless I egg someone on to make a really
classless personal joke, but then it's not offensive.

Points: 35867 Status: Lurker | Followup to Ophecks: #01997957 | Show recordbag



yeah, it's generally the situation itself that is funny..
the jokes are just bad. What makes stuff even better is to
plan out outrageous things to do without ever having the
intention of going through with it.. like going to some
strangers party and just hang around for a while.. then,
suddenly you go into his bedroom and shit in his bed before
you leave the party. It makes your current situation almost
as silly as that would've been because you're not doing it
or something... it's hard to explain.

..and yeah, I know about that making racist jokes with
people who they would, in seriousness, be directed at... I
had this mate who was from bangladesh or something and he
used to call other foreign people "pakkis" (it's like a
norwegian "nigger" for people from pakistan or other places
where the skin colour is somewhat similar (which of course
included himself)).

i have no problem with racist jokes, though most people do.
which is stupid, cos its not like theres any racism there.
the jokes are pretty much stereotypes which arent meant to
offend anyone or anything, and half the time, i find the
humour in racist jokes funny pretty much because of the big
deal there is about makking jokes about such things, asif
you're not sposed.
i aint racist but i do find most racist jokes and such
funny. ive kind of had few talks about it and such, and some
friends dont mind, but alot of people take offense to it,
which is why the post is so long. blablbabla.

i don't mind racist jokes - but i can tell right off if a
person who tells a racist joke actually harbors racist
feelings or not. and since i think racism is a human
weakness i don't ever choose to shine the light on it and
say something.

When people get offended by the subject of a joke it reminds
me of people who are opposed to capital punishment, UNTIL
they have a daughter who is raped or someone close who has
some equally tragic thing happen to them. People who get
offended by some jokes probobly have a personal reason for
that and don't simply find it offensive.

Homer Simpson probobly summed it up best when he said "It's
funny cause its not me"

the only time something uncomfortable happened with my
friends was back in high school. we were kind of always
joking about race stuff, especially about jews because one
of my close friends was jewish so we liked to kid with him.
this one night we were all together at my friend harrison's
house and we were playing some military video game about the
middle east or something, and the attitude was just crazy at
the time, we were all laughing and yelling and stuff and it
was a really good time. i don't remember exactly what
happened, but some huge event took place in this video game
(i think a helicopter blew up or something) and all of a
sudden my friend zach just yelled, "i hate niggers!" we all
just stopped for a minute and had kind of a, "what the
fuck?" moment. it was definately awkward, but i find it
really funny when i look back on it. (by the way, the guy
isn't really racist, his current roommate is black)
