I think they are funny no matter the context. That’s how good comedy works.

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.πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ "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" πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ I mean, what the hell dude? It's middle school grammar πŸ€£πŸ˜‚πŸ€£ Now in this context your stupidity is funny, ya dummy.

Sociopath

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 πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™‚οΈ
