I actually wish we could show this to everyone who gets mad at comedians for telling offensive jokes. This would help show the enormous difference the intention and direction of a joke makes to whether or not it is truly offensive.

But honestly the way you typed the title of this thread is more offensive to me than the video.

Come on, it was a little bit not unfunny. Laughing at it won't make the events any less tragic or retroactively make anyone who does laugh into an accomplice or supporter of terrorism.

Or don't laugh if you don't think it's funny, that's fine too. I just have a problem when people say "you can't make fun of x because it diminishes whatever". To me, the only criterion that matters on whether or not to make a joke is if it's funny, there's nothing that should be sacred or off limits, and you certainly can't shy away from offending people because otherwise we couldn't laugh at anything, since there's always gonna be people who object to even the most ridiculous things. So if you're planning on making a racist joke, or make fun of the victims of a tragedy or anything like that, just make sure it is going to make at least someone laugh so it can be worth it.

I guess all my articles qualify to this thread.

Though that would imply they are funny.

I just got around to watching the video FMF posted. Field Marshal Fry that is, not Funk Master Flex. Anyway. I didn't find it offensive and it wasn't funny enough because it wasn't sped up nearly enough and there's better footage for people being chased by debris and dust clouds. I appreciate the effort of the uploader but it missed me. Here's more junk.

Well, the original post was obviously the dumbest fucking thing that's ever been posted on here, but I will say that I saw possibly the funniest review ever on Steam for Shower With Your Dad Simulator. Leaving aside the inherent terribleness of that game (for context, I was just looking at it because I was curious as to why it was rated so high, not because I want to shower with dads not digital ones, anyways), one of the reviews listed pros and cons, and one of the cons listed was:

"Strange glitch where black child has a father."

I was like: "Terrible, but you know what? Have a thumb for that."
