Funny or Offensive? Both? Neither?

I watched that and laughed, because for the first part I wouldn't be surprised at all to run into most of those names on the street. What I loved the most was the black woman that made a reply vid... and continued the joke.

Huh reminds me of going down the hallway.

Hew ever did you find that? That was hilarious!

 

[Artina89]

I didn't find it offensive or funny, just stupid.

 

[Karlaxx]

The names that were, I thought, impossible, and the sheer number of them- 60 is overkill, dude- made the whole thing incredibly stupid.

But not so stupid that I couldn't laugh myself off of my computer chair.

Are those name even real? Not the obvious ones, I know Latifah's a name, I mean the ones with obama, fried chicken, those kind.

I find this more of a piss take of 'Ghetto' and 'Gangsta' sort of thing and not black people in general, thus not racist. As important of an issue it is i think the definition of racism has been twisted somewhat to aid some people in avoiding criticism, which in turn is insulting to those who actually are victims of racism proper.

 

[Crimsader]

Tragicomic.

 

[AkJay]

George Carlin: Funny
Carlos Mencia: Offensive (Anytime someone thinks he is funny, I take it as a personal insult.)

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

I thought it was pretty lame.

The same here. The only thing i cracked a smile at was the contrast at the end.

 

[Treefingers]

Yawn.

 

[RobotNinja]

Yeah, I didn't laugh because I didn't have the sound on and, looking at these people, I don't want to hear them but... Yeah, it was funny.

I felt that was pretty racist, and thus unfunny.

Please, PLEASE tell me you're joking...

Ok, maybe it wasn't racist, but I still think it's a bit offensive and unfunny.

 

[The Austin]

Hillarius!!!!!

i feel no shame!

 

[LinedGoat]

I found it quite funny, you really got to be easily offended to get offended by it.

 

[Cavouku]

I had a feeling nobody here on The Escapist would find it offensive. Somehow I know that if it happened to be projected on the big screen at a school assembly though, there'd be some people shouting "racist".

I'm so low-brow that I just keep playing this over and over to pass the time.

 

[orangebandguy]

I'll go both. The names are pretty daft and undeniably hilarious in some cases.

 

[Pegghead]

It's only a little joke, nothing to get up in arms about. That's what metapedia's for.

 

[WafflesandBacon]

I live in the Ghetto i found hilarious

 

[DazZ.]

It was quite funny, and it obviously was racist because the watermelon and chicken references defiantly weren't just coincidences.

Still it was funny, but I'm easily amused.
