s0nicfan 05/24/22 9:08:32 PM #211:	AceMos posted... ok ill admit i was wrong on that one I understand where you're coming from. The idea that there are real problems in the world that should be given more focus is a good one, but if you play out that thought to its natural conclusion it creates this really weird scenario where comedians are only out there making fun of genocide because relatively speaking every other topic is trivial. It's also a bit of a double-edged sword because you could apply that same logic to other things. If someone is out there fighting for trans people to use the bathroom of their choosing and they're not spending that time fighting against world hunger are they a bad person? Of course not.

Lorenzo_2003 05/25/22 2:16:59 AM #244:	Funkydog posted... So if I made a "joke" about black people and a length of rope, that'd be okay as long as I said "It's just a joke, guys?" It would have to be a damn good joke. I mean there are comedians who have successfully made jokes about 9/11, children dying, Covid deaths, murder, racism in various forms, and so many more controversial topics. Pretty much whatever we might think is impossible to find humorous, some witty fucker is going to find a way to extract it. Of course not everyone will laugh and some will downright hate it. I guess thats the risk of comedy- speaking on the unspeakable. --- ... <cite>Lorenzo_2003 posted [p:965285267] in Ricky Gerv...

Pretty much whatever we might think is impossible to find humorous, some witty fucker is going to find a way to extract it. Of course not everyone will laugh and some will downright hate it. I guess thats the risk of comedy- speaking on the unspeakable. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!

"shock jocks" and such have always depended on being extremely offensive and raunchy. People laugh because of the audacity of it. Not all comedy is "clever" or follows a specific structure. Sometimes funny is just funny. --- I write Naruto Fanfiction. But I am definitely not a furry. <cite>Gobstoppers12 posted [p:965285626] in Ricky Gerv...

When they laugh, it usually means they found something funny. You can actually use the sound of that laughter to determine when things are funny. I hear people laughing, yes. I don't hear anything that's actually funny. --- Arrrr the SS Goku, Mighty fine boat... -fatmatt Hope Frieza doesn't chuck an Iceberg at the Goku, otherwise it's all over. -Nekoslash <cite>mario2000 posted [p:965290365] in Ricky Gerv...
