"...but generally something that does not upset or offend individuals is fine" By your standard there would be no comedy on TV. Everyone has a different threshold for taking offence. Even today, certain people will write complaints to the TV station if a mild swear word is broadcast before 8 pm. | |||

"I believe the subject of incest is a no no! " And Frankie Boyle seems to think that and molesting children is funny. Me I think it's sick | |||

"Some things that make me roll around laughing probably would'nt do the same to another person Humour is different for everyone I would'nt post half the jokes I get sent on these forums because I know that there is always someone that would be offended so I giggle away to myself instead" I agree. What some find funny, other's find hugely offensive. I find Kevin Bloody Wilson hilarious and partly because he rips the piss out of everyone, every country, all sexual scenarios, including incest. He is crude but also clever. I must admit, sometimes I cringe because he does go too far, but I'd rather he goes too far than curbs it. His swearing is prominent which many find hugely offensive but swearing doesn't bother me at all if it's done cleverly. On the other hand, I find Roy Chubby Brown highly unfunny, even when he sings Kev Bloody Wilson's songs, somehow when he does it, they're not funny to me. So I think it's in the deliverance of the piece as much as the content. I used to love Billy Connolley, I find the truth is often the most funny comedy because we can relate to it. I don't find Billy as funny now because his jokes are more Hollywood, because he is Hollywood now. I don't relate as much though still I find him funny in parts. Jack Dee is my all time favourite. I just love him and I'm usually in tears by the end of his set. There are others I find funny but can't remember right now. I must admit I do like the more risque the better comics. I do like a rebel who's not afraid to go all out there and say what others are too scared the PC police will grab them for if they dare | |||

"Are there any subjects / topics that should never be used in comic routines. Should everyone curb their laughter for fear of offending others ? If you ARE amused does someone have the right to demand that you change your s.o.h ? Should their emotional/political views encroach on your outlets ? When is it appropriate to laugh ? When is it not ?" For me the thing I think should be taboo is jokes about kids being abused. I don't think humiliating people is funny....but I wouldn't class it as a taboo. No, I don't think anyone should tell me what I can laugh at. I think if you know something is probably not going to appeal to the masses, then I might hide my amusement. | |||

"I don't think anything should be tabboo, whether I find it funny or not is an entirely different matter. i agree, this world is far t o pc, they are only jokes " Interesting point. A 'friend' once made a child abuse joke re m. Jackson and I screeched not funny. She said it's just a joke. So i told a joke about her grandson being abused. She was livid ! Who'd have believed it eh ? It's just a joke to the joker but do those who don't find it funny have the right to stamp up n down ? | |||

They have the right to find it not funny, but not necessarily the right to stamp up and down. What's sicker? A Michael Jackson child abuse joke? Or the media and large sections of society ignoring the fact that the man was seriously deranged and had, at the very least, an inappropriate interest in children for a man of his age? I know which one makes me want to 'stamp up n down'... | |||

I would tell the person I didn't find the joke funny about child abuse, but I couldn't tell them what they should be laughing at. I might think of them differently though, rightly or wrongly, but like you, it just makes me think of the kid..even if it is an imaginary one. ( and no, not been abused either, I just think my motherly instinct kicks in ) | |||

" I wouldn't have thought you need neither to have been abuse nor have a 'motherly instinct' to feel for an abused child " I will explain my comment for the pedantic.....I was agreeing with Granny on one comment on one of her posts that I also havn't been abused so it wasn't because of that that made me feel for children who had been abused. At no time did I imply that you need a motherly instinct to feel compassion for abused children, I was answering for ME and what I thought as to why jokes about abused children don't make me laugh. | |||

"Before anyone jumps on the bandwagon at me, like anyone else on this site i like at least the odd dirty joke. But when someone can only tell or find funny dirty jokes, it makes my skin crawl and the hair stand on back of my neck. Makes me think - pervert? And disrespectful. Same goes for racist jokes or any other kind of jokes. Im irish (and as thick as they come) and i love agood irish joke. But when someone cannot do anything but poke fun at thick irish he/she just makes themselves look like an idiot. I think the following joke is hilarious, embarassingly always have done. Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side! Duh. Xx " I weas once told that the stereotype of the 'thick Irish' cam from the days when the Anglo-Irish Gentry employed local Irish staff & considered them to be almost subhuman. The Irish response was to play up to the stereotype to the point of ridicule, in other words the Irish were taking the piss out of their 'betters'. Don't know how true it is but its a good story! | |||
