Comment on People giving swags
slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 2 days agoOne of my pet peeves is when people describe themselves as funny or having a good sense of humor. A racist thinks he’s funny too when he tells racist jokes. In his pov his sense of humore is impeccable

People who describe themselves as funny rarely are funny to others. And racist jokes are still racist. But we are just talking about dark humor here, and I will stand by my statement that you might not like that kind of joke, but it’s still a joke. And neither by making the joke or by laughing about the joke are you saying that you actually want whatever the joke is about to happen. Otherwise people like Anthony Jeselnik or Jimmy Carr would not have a career.

Yeah i know, my main point is that someon who’s funny never walk around calling themselves funny. Dark humor is also kind of bon descriptive. I went on more than one date where the girl describes her humor as “very dark” which also ment just racist humor.
Anthony jeselnik is funny because you know who he is and that’s why his jokes work. Why Jimmy Carr has a career is unclear to me.
