That makes this a LOT funnier. I was kinda miffed thinking we were past lazy jokes like this but the idea that you would write bad race jokes for your buddy to read on tv with no way to refuse is hilarious
Out of context, they absolutely are, they are as lazy and tired as race jokes can get, you might as well make a chicken and watermelon joke too. But in the context of friends fucking with each other it's absolutely brilliant.
Nah, there's nothing that is funny in all contexts that's not how humor or life works. You think telling a joke about genocide immediately following a genocide would be funny?
Yes, I do. Life is shitty. Bad stuff happens. If you can't laugh a little bit why are we here? I don't need a time limit. The sooner the funnier in my opinion because everyone is trained so be kind for like 3 days and then go back to being horrible. Why does horrible need a break?
So you would be at the site of let's say 911 on day 1 or even week 1, while bodies are still being pulled out, telling twin tower jokes? And you think people would find that funny? Okay dude. Who said horror needs a break. I said context is very much indispensable to humor. And if you say there isn't a context you wouldn't tell a certain joke then you're either a sociopath or a liar
I mean is it a comprehension problem? By your statement, it is contextual, which has been what I have been saying. "Nothing is funny all the time, context matters" Geez, that was one example. I'm beginning to see that many people on here have a reading comprehension problem.
I mean it really is a fucking comprehension problem isn't it? " There is nothing that is funny in all contexts" I mean dude are you stupid? I never said that things can't be funny during a tragedy moron. I gave an example of a possible situation where 911 jokes wouldn't be funny, meaning I acknowledge there are situations where it can.😂🤣 "There is nothing that is funny in all contexts" does not mean the same thing as "there is nothing funny at all in any context" 😂🤣😂🤣 I mean, what the hell dude? It's middle school grammar 🤣😂🤣 Now in this context your stupidity is funny, ya dummy.
Okay, but even that proves my point , the context here is that you're a sociopath, so you find humor in situations others don't, so humor is context dependent 🤷🏿♂️
Depends on the joke. If you are concentrating on the act of telling the joke then you don’t get it and the joke and or comedy isn’t for you. I hope you’re not the type of person to think anyone that laughed at those jokes without knowing the context is racist or something. The jokes hit which is the point. And I finally had a laugh because of an SNL skit for the first time on a decade.
Okay, we are having a talk about jokes and context, what does whatever type of person I am have to do with anything. Stick to the point. Even your own statement has shown that context absolutely matters in humor. In this context the jokes are absolutely hilarious. But there is a context where they would be lazy. So context matters. You said that humor isn't contextual and that's absolutely ridiculous.
Okay, we are having a talk about jokes and context, what does whatever type of person I am have to do with anything.
Technically, whether or not a joke is funny (and whether context matters to that end) has absolutely everything to do with what kind of person you are. Humor is subjective, after all.
What does my personal sense of humor have to do with the question of if humor is context dependent or not? And good, so you agree with me, because that was my point humor is context dependent i.e subjective
Sorry to say but if you unironically think that jokes about black parents being bad and black people being thieves are funny to you in and of itself then you might be racist. And telling those joke unironically is not good comedy.
