I believe this would go into Random Thoughts?

[LeeC]

Monk:Is it an evil spirit?
The Doctor: It's a woman.
Monk: *crosses himself*

I get, is funny because misogyny.

bainidhe_dub rant

strangely relevant to the conversation and just in general.

(click to show/hide)

basically boils down to

moving on, back to the funnies...


burn the motha down!

[ackblom12]

I'm not going to go into why the claim that "it's a joke" is a shitty excuse for sexist/racist/etc. jokes, so instead...

[ZJGent]

I get, is funny because misogyny.

Late to the game on the opinion front, I know, but I thought it worth mentioning that it's probably more a reference to the long-running British comedy thing of the clergy being a horde of limp-wristed woman-hating chronic masturbators. Chastity vows etc etc. It's pretty much already been covered more intelligently by bainidhe_dub.

See this doesn't come across to someone who is just looking at the images and doesn't know the long running references in British comedy or the context in the show itself. The picture doesn't really give you the context other than "two guys dressed as monks" so I guess if you know about the whole monk celibacy thing it could give a slight smirk, but it still perpetuates dumb bullshit ideas about gender and not calling people out on it just leads the "its a joke" defense to seem more and more plausible. Slippery slope logic leads to rape jokes etc.

I may just be a little more sensitive since I know a few people (wouldn't call them friends exactly) who's first and primary insults are always toward comparing men, items, actions, to women as a form of insult and calling him out on it does nothing except get you called a fag or a bitch and create undue conflict.

Also not to personally attack you here LeeC, but a lot of your posts/pictures in the pointless thread feel like they're getting pulled straight from r/MensRightsFapMaterial

surprisingly Jace they are all from imgur front page,  laugh load (not sure why but i shows up on my FB), or icanhascheezburger.com: video games, very demotivational, senor gif, fandom base, comixed, dating fails, superheroes, and animal gifs.  Maybe its just my broad sense of humor but I find most tame and funny.  Like the EDI cosplay, that is very impressive IMHO as far as cosplays go and is dead on.  I could care less if someone faps to it or the guy making Overly Attached Girlfriend eggs .  I am just impressed and wanted to share it.

mind you I do filter some of the things I put up here.  I saw a fascinating photo of a baby with its chest open and could see its little heart and organs.  Scientifically speaking it was amazing, but I knew posting it here would have been in bad taste.  Now a gif of a guy on the phone letting a nearby monk know who he was talking to and the monk acting like an angry woman is just as bad as an evil spirit is funny to me.  Hell hath no wrath like, well , you know the rest. No inside joke really needed for that one.  Ive only seen the first 4 episodes of season 5 of doctor who so I didnt really get any inside jokes. 


back to our regularly scheduled broadcast:

Who the hell trained the snake to open a door? Now he's just going to teach his friends and we're fucked as a species. They'll be picking locks next.

Also what the HELL is up with that bathroom that there are MULTIPLE massive spiders in it? Someone needs to learn to clean. Or something. Jesus. I'd burn the house down.

I feel like this is relevant on the subject of what is and isn't funny: http://www.cracked.com/blog/4-questions-people-debating-rape-jokes-should-ask-themselves/

[ackblom12]

The problem I have with that article is it still uses the same old tired 'Freedom of Speech' style of argument shut down, somehow doing so while also acknowledging you have the right to criticize. Adding a jab of people arguing against rape jokes as 'censorship' is bullshit on all but the most fringe cases. This applies to a hell of a lot of other types of jokes as well that involve race and just about every other subject. If you want to see good rape jokes that aren't total shit you don't have to look any further than someone like Louis C.K. or Wanda Sykes. It's all about what or who the punchline is.

And Patton Oswalt explains how and why his mind changed on the subject on his blog recently.

“Because that’s the thing about Scooby-Doo: The bad guys in every episode aren’t monsters, they’re liars.
I can’t imagine how scandalized those critics who were relieved to have something that was mild enough to not excite their kids would’ve been if they’d stopped for a second and realized what was actually going on. The very first rule of Scooby-Doo, the single premise that sits at the heart of their adventures, is that the world is full of grown-ups who lie to kids, and that it’s up to those kids to figure out what those lies are and call them on it, even if there are other adults who believe those lies with every fiber of their being. And the way that you win isn’t through supernatural powers, or even through fighting. The way that you win is by doing the most dangerous thing that any person being lied to by someone in power can do: You think.”

[Sorflakne]

So after reading the previous posts, I post this in trepidation.



Disney princesses as burlesque dancers

[Carl-E]

Nothing to fear!  I see it on several levels, actually... the parallel of Disney princess / burlesque girl is an interesting choice, both being shallow representations of womanhoood, created for pure entertainment purposes, equally unattainable, just pandering to different aspects. 



Besides, stockings are hot   

[Sorflakne]

Besides, stockings are hot

Agree

[mtmerrick]

I've never gotten the allure, myself.

[Carl-E]

Try some on. 



Then get back to me. 


 

[GarandMarine]

I think Jasmine might actually have more skin covered then normal.

[Akima]

And have a more realistic figure. I am still glad that Hua Mulan is not included.

[nekowafer]

Those wearing garter belts are all wearing them differently. Weird.

[Mr. Doctor]

Welp, I have an usually dark and shitty sense of humor so a lot of offensive jokes amuse me. I just tell those jokes when I know my crowd, otherwise I just shut up.
It's that simple. Everybody happy.

A Cat's Sacred Duty

[LeeC]

@Sorflakne: I think I have heard of her, she is the girl who tries to pet cats but they scratch/bite her all the time right?  I am basing this on imgur and maybe I saw it here.

@celtic geek: yup, pretty much april ludgate from parks and rec.  Andy is surprisingly a human golden retriever.

[pwhodges]

Sakaki:


Not that the picture above looks much like her, but it could be (details are right, just not the overall effect).

[Sorflakne]

My pic of her is actually from the anime.

I know cats sit on notebook supposedly because they are warm, are roombas the same way or do cats just like riding them?


some day...

I think some of it's the vibrations, too.

WHO DID THE THING

is a phrase I must use more often. I also need to watch more Adventure Time.

[LeeC]

for those out of the loop....

saw this and had to share.  It was titled "Old Economy Steve"

I think what makes it most funny is it reminds me of my dad with a lot of stuff he has said over the years  Real "Death of a Salesman" type stuff, but then reality hit and he understands times have changed.

You can actually make pretty good money without HS... I know jobs in the trades are scary to a lot of people these days but welders with the right certs can easily pull $40/hr and I've never heard of a plumber going out of business because of the economy.

[nekowafer]

Be prepared for a fuck ton of Adventure Time gifs...

That isn't even original or something.
