Poll: College Humour Offensive video.

[BRex21]

Dark, stupid, but not really offensive. I would say you're being oversensitive. If that sort of humour isn't for you, you probably shouldn't be hanging around sites like that.

Also, ive seen that intro to the Simpsons on TV before. although i do live in one of those forn countries you hear so much about.

 

[Woodsey]

I'm offended by how unfunny it was.

It's fucking stupid, but it's not real, although I can see why someone else would have an issue with it.

 

[game-lover]

That was a horrible, horrible, horrible... video.

But I honestly wasn't offended. Not really.

It's up with Drawn Together, South Park, Robot Chicken and Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

You're a little disgusted... but the boldness of it makes it just a tiny bit amusing.

 

[zehydra]

it was kind of stupid. Very forced.
I don't get offended easily, but I can see someone else getting offended by this.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

If anything, it didn't go far enough.

 

[linwolf]

There are nothing wrong with a little dark humour, and the link you gave was pretty tame. I liked it.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

I found the collegehumor one funny, and when I saw the Banksy intro on TV, I didn't really understand it but still found it funny

 

[Verlander]

I didn't find it funny, nor offensive. Just boring drivel

As for the Simpsons intro, I'm pretty sure that's not banned in the UK. It was a hundred times funnier than the collegehumour thing, and still wasn't very good. Go figure

 

[Prof.Wood]

Not offensive to me at all, kinda made me smile.
Also why was the simpsons intro banned? it was good I thought.

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

Offensive, no. Funny, no.

 

[Brawndo]

Even the Supreme Court said that you don't have the right not to be offended, sorry.

 

[Escapefromwhatever]

UGH! It is a satire using dark humor. If you've ever seen the actual ad in a theater, is plays a baby crying and says "Don't ruin the movie by adding your own soundtrack." Collegehumor is pointing out that maybe implying that crying babies are inherently bad isn't the best idea.

You honestly think they're cool with murdering babies?

 

[Timbydude]

Nope, not offensive. Nobody was actually harmed, so there's really no reason to be put off by it, in my opinion.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

..Wait, there was a video in that link? All I noticed was the females on either side of this boring black screen. *tongue-in-cheek response*

In all seriousness, I really didn't mind it. I didn't like either, so I guess I'm impartial to this one? I loved it. Dark humored satire always makes my day.

Edit:

As for the Simpsons Intro, I grinned at it. Although it's obvious the references, I find it on par with George Carlin humor. And I love George Carlin humor.

 

[Caligulove]

Little bit of dark humor, but nothing I would find offensive. It's supposed to provoke and almost shock you in how ridiculous and then suddenly violent it is. You don't really expect for it to go that route, or that far since you've seen the AMC advert so many times before- it's basically the cornerstone of everything CollegeHumor does..

 

[HitsWithStyxx]

Meh, just dark humour.
Worse things have been joked about.

 

[Penguinness]

It's not offensive, but it's not funny either. Oh College Humour.

Don't look up Frankie Boyle by the way, his face alone will offend you.

 

[Steve the Pocket]

If anything, it didn't go far enough.

This. Jokes about dead babies are just played out. Heck, TV Tropes even uses "dead baby comedy" to refer to shock-value humor of this sort. Once audiences get over the "oh my god I can't believe they just said/did that" phase, jokes like these just stop working on shock value alone.

Maybe it would be funnier if I were familiar with the source it's parodying, like that Pixar logo video.

 

[playinthedark]

My god that was boring... and unfunny...

This is how it should be done.

 

[DemonicVixen]

Ok Before commenting or voting watch the video.

http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1946484

Now my Question is, Do you find this slightly morbid/disturbing/dark.

i honestly was extremely uncomfortable watching this...

EDIT: ok a lot of people don't really find it that offensive it seems, i don't know maybe im just sensitive about the subject of murdering babies,
Anyway anyone care to offer their opinion on this banned Simpsons intro?

Ok first video, meh, amusing to be honest (although no i dont agree with shooting babies).

Second video... WTF??? That was HORRID! No wonder it was banned, and good bloody riddance. If my kids were going to watch that, i'd complain or even sue >.>
