Astanley 11,568 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think the thing is to know your audience , if you go to a Frnkie Boyle show , you know what your likely to hear , so to take offence would be petty ,if your with your mates you,v got a good idea about what they might or might not find offensive , its when you come out with a real sicky ,where people haven't got a choice wether they hear it or read it , that they quite rightly object . 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 ffs obviously your not going to stand in a childrens ward or in the middle of a boozer telling jokes that you know not everyone will find it funny. and it has f**k all to do with bravado or such likes. ive cracked plenty jokes that were close to the bone. most i have to say most laugh,some dont and say "thats f*****g sick" but they dont hold a grudge or challenge the teller of such joke to a square go outside lol like i said if you trully are offended by all these jokes then fair play to you,but i do hope that the same ones shouting about it,apply the same morals towards paki kids and such like cause that would just be hypocritical. its actually the opposite for me, i get folk seeking me oput to tell methe darkest sickest jokes lol 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

billybaltic 308 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I think we all tolarate certain things different, if you have had a child with a serious illness you are not going to laugh at a joke about it, i don't think i could laugh at any joke about a kid being hurt or similar.

stewie 3,387 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Look, I'm sure very few people actually consider it acceptable to tell any joke anywhere to anyone. The social circumstance dictates whether it's acceptable, who's telling the joke and who will be receiving it. Personally I don't find jokes about kids coming to harm funny at all other than ones in a very vague sense such as the common jokes and sayings like "sweating like gary glitter in an orphanage" etc. A joke about maddy or that little boy or anything else more specific would be well off limits but then others may see the humour in it. But if anybody really does believe anything goes anywhere and to f**k with those that it offends, crack on into a bar in Plymouth and blast out ya best about Marines being killed. See if that's considered acceptable amongst the local bootnecks...... i cant remember who it was but someone made a joke about maddie mcann on here and was rightly sent to f**k!!! I'm sure you have laughed at worse with a few tins down your gullet lol honestly mate i dont find jokes on her funny at all........... but google maddie mcann, press space and see what the first google suggestion is............... not for me but i can see its just a joke..........just aint one i find funny................ like people bringing desertbreds family into an internet argument...........somethings just aint done.......... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackbriar 8,569 Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) The crux of shocking humour is choosing which company you tell it to ! I'll give you some examples - someone mentioned the cancer joke i posted on my status. My wife is a cancer survivor, and she found the joke 'quite funny' - she didn't split her sides, but she didn't flounce out in a huff either! No sense of humour,her! I know several Madeleine McCann jokes, but I would never have repeated them to her father, when he treated me for a coronary in 2008! Did you have a laugh at the Princess Di, Michael Jackson or Jimmy Savile gags?? I am from a Catholic family (i'm atheist myself), but I know that if I told a joke about the Pope to my sainted Mum, she would probably throw me out of the house. I know there are lots of ex-servicemen on here.Did any of you laugh at Jimmy Carr's line about the paralympic team? Lots of us post 'Paki' jokes - would you (honestly) repeat them to Abdul down at the kebab shop? The whole point is that I am selective in who gets told what, as if they're truthful, is everyone else! Edited July 31, 2013 by Blackbriar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thebigdog Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 My wife had a job interview for a camera store the other day. Before she left, she knew I'd have a joke lined up, and so she said "please don't give me any of your silly puns, like, You're a snappy dresser, or it'll be over in a flash..." So I punched her in the face, and said: "That bruise should develop in about an hour and if you interrupt my jokes again, well, you get the picture.." 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
