Re: Jokes that push the envelope
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] I've never really understood why so many find a lot of these jokes funny (dead baby etc.). The problem is that I don't find them shocking nor horrifying despite them clearly not being tasteful. I feel like they're all shock value and without that aren't funny at all. Although some of them do have nice puns which is good. Anybody else feel that way? [/ QUOTE ] Some jokes are fun to watch how others react to them. I love anti-PC/tasteless jokes. Laughed my ass off going through this thread. Best opening line of a joke I ever heard: 2 nuns were being raped in a park... That line alone tends to stop some people cold even though the joke itself isn't really much. I've had alot of fun with that one. b [/ QUOTE ] I see where you're coming from. My problem is that when I'm reading them I'm not all that shocked myself so on the occasion that people tell the joke to me I'm just kind of thinking "ok, I guess I was supposed to freak out or something." I also don't know a lot of people that would give a good reaction and would also find the jokes to be funny or at least to whom it would be ok to tell the joke. So given that you know what type of jokes are being made here I assume you aren't reacting much reading them. Are you laughing imagining others being shocked by them? I could see that. I do find some of them funny, but only the ones that have a surprising punch line (there are 20 of them comes to mind). Most of them have the same type of punch line (you can't lift it with a pitch fork, something about a blender, something about ashes). Jared

What's the difference between Helen Keller, Ray Charles, and Stevie Wonder?

The follow up is something like: 2 nuns coming out of the park. One says to the other, 'we're going to have to report the 2 times we got raped.' '2 times?' asks the other nun. 'Well, yes.' she says with a smile. 'Aren't we going back through?' b

[/ QUOTE ] I'm sure part of it is imagining or seeing others reactions to it. I think the worlds' so over-PC(resulting in stupid frivalous lawsuits and unneeded apologies) that this probably comes about as an outlet of some kind. People take stuff way too seriously, imo. Sometimes it's fun to just crush the eggshells at everyone's feet. I have a sick sense of humor though. I loved the holocaust joke with the gaurdtower and the kid in the shower slickin' his hair back. Pedophile and religious jokes are my favs. The religious jokes may have something to do with me going to parochial school. But you're right, many jokes fall upon the same line. And there is a place and time for these types of jokes. This thread has been a blast. b
