Humour: An Internet Guide

[Ignignoct]

No race jokes? then how am i supposed to make fun of the alliance/WoW for having stupid squid-faced draeneis?

Horde-supremacist!

Someone ban this bigot before he spews his vile hatespeech on our pristine, infallible forums!

isnt the only guide to internet humour adding "lol"

or at least that's what i figured after countless people added lol to their unfunny statements to make it seem funny
goddamnit! if it's bloody funny, you dont need to tell people to laugh out loud
ANY FOOL CAN DO THAT, and they do

"i was riding my bike, lol"

no! i will not lol and neither should you you dipshit, now piss off and go stab yourself with a rusty spoon!

sorry
on topic, internet humour is created on 4chan and distributed accordingly

You will be baked for mentioning 4chan.

Then there will be cake.

Edit: People here are sensitive, you know. I enjoy a gem or two from it, but digging through the muck gets boring sometimes.

oh yeah, i forgot 4chan was the black sheep of forums
the one that everyone knows exists but just pretends to ignore and doesnt invite to parties cause you know it'll just get wasted and grope everyone else and think they're really funny and then throw up in the corner... many times... repeatedly

but they are responisble for this, so it's fine

If you make a joke about jews, say you're jewish first.

Same for blacks, mexicans, asians, etc.

It could be the difference is laughs vs boos, and posting vs banhammer.

You need to learn the climate of the board to gauge what you can get away with if you have a dark sense of humor.

Many will laugh at killing humans, but not animals, for example, depending on the board population.

If all else fails, make jokes about white males. 100% banproof.

Or at least have a friend who's that ethnicity. After all, it's okay to be a bigot if your friends with those kinds of people.

Oh of course, because that doesn't offend anybody.

No, I have a friend who's a white male. He's fine with it, so it's okay.

At least not anyone with an iota of intelligence.

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

Eh, I think racial jokes should be most insulting to the audience because they rely on a certain degree of ignorance to be funny.

It's the internet. If someone gets offended because you made a holocaust joke they need to loosen up a bit.

It depends on the joke. I don't think I've ever heard a funny holocaust joke, has anyone else?

I've heard one.
But only one.

i am jewish and i find jewish jokes funny

there just jokes thats how i see them

I like it when people can shrug a joke off. If it is a joke, then that's all it is. Something in jest shouldn't be able to fall under offensive. Me being a white, Catholic guy. I don't when people make jokes about me; I can laugh when people make fun of me. Humor is a dangerous thing, but it shouldn't have to be.

See?

This guy is going to enjoy life a lot more due to having a metaphorically sand-resistant vagina, and I say that with all the love of an Uncle.

metaphorically sand-resistant vagina
This cracked me up to the point of puking.
You win.

On-topic.. Be like ^this guy^

I have too. It involved pizza. It wasn't very funny, though.

 

[VanityGirl]

the best humor is clean humor.. why?
because to adults its corny enough to warrant a laugh..
to kids it's freakin' hilarous.

jokes such as:
why did the picture go to jail
it got framed.


sometimes the best joke is a regular joke.
if you try to hard to say something funny in response to a persons comment, you might make yourself look like an ass.

Srry couldn't help it. Haven't actually played WoW for years.

But C'mon squid-faced goat people from outer space, srsly?

I am half Jewish, I love Jewish jokes! I don't see why people get so offended anyways, taking things much to seriously.

Make fun of Jews all you want, as long as its not horribly offensive, I will surely laugh!

Thank you. That's what I've been trying to get across.

How about not making racy jokes at all. If it's not okay for one person to do it, it's not okay for everyone.

Thats not strictly true... If I start taking the piss out of Craig Shepherd then that is cool everytime, by the way that's me.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

All jokes are offensive to one type of person or another, it all just depends on who you tell the jokes to that matter.

 

[ItsAChiaotzu]

This thread reeks of pretentiousness.

Jokes are jokes. If you can't joke about one thing then you can't joke about anything.

If you find a joke offensive then you are stupid.

This however is not a joke : e.g. HAHAHA JEW LOLZORZZ

An actual joke cannot be offensive due to the fact that it is a j o k e.
