Regarding humor
Jimmy the Squid:
My brother likes to tell paedophilia jokes. Incredibly graphic ones. They are never funny and actually make me rather sad.
Lines:
Dead baby jokes make me want to vomit every single time.
And I already apologized to Pat about reviving this, as I really should have just let it die and really should have realized this crap would happen, but can we just let off of it now? It's not getting anywhere, which should be very obvious by now, and we're just misunderstanding each other. This thread is kind of a downer. Let's move on to brighter threads, k?

Bad, horrible thing I once said that makes me look like a terrible person story alert! :police:
I once had a friend who always seemed to hit on/get hit on by younger girl(15-17 year olds, while he was 22). We once we driving past a Catholic elementary school, right as school was letting out. I said "Damn, we should come here more often! You could pick up so many girls!" It was a terrible joke, and I am a horrible person for it. But still to this day, that story makes me giggle.
Patrick:
My Bible quote is all kinds of relevant here though. 4chan is perfectly accepting of just about anything you can throw at them (with one exception: child porn). The rest of the world isn't 4chan though. You can shout racial slurs and rape jokes at a group of /b/tards as much as you want, but the rest of the world ain't so forgiving.

Well, on the theory that if my favorite comedian can't make me laugh about something I probably have no chance of ever finding it funny, I just listened to George Carlin's "Rape Can Be Funny" track off his 2007 album "Parental Advisory: Explicit Lyrics". Overall it was an unimpressive track, and unlike most of the time I'm listening to Carlin, I didn't particularly enjoy it. I have to admit, though, that there was one point when I laughed pretty hard, and two or three other times when he got a small chuckle out of me. I don't know, I think it's incredibly rare for a joke about rape to be funny, certainly rare enough that it's reasonable to say "Don't ever try, your odds of failing miserably and being offensive with no redeeming factors are too high." Certainly on a forum like this I think avoiding rape jokes is a very good policy. I bristle at the idea that rape can "never" be funny though, because I think anything *can* be funny, and I hate absolute statements about anything. Also I did just laugh at a joke about rape a few minutes ago (thanks George), so there you have it. Rape can be funny in my opinion, and I suspect that for most people there probably exists *some* joke about rape that would make them laugh. Does that mean I plan on making rape jokes here? No. And neither should you.
Now that I've said my piece, I will join the chorus of people clamoring uselessly for this thread to die.
