Is that even funny? I think you forgot that jokes are supposed to have some element of humour in them, dear.

And yes, yes you are both going to hell. Stupid jokes like:

why can't women ski? -because you can't ski from the bedroom to the kitchen.

why are women's feet small? - so you can get closer to the kitchen sink.

oh HOW HILLARIOUS.  Tell a joke like that and watch all females within a 5 metre radius of you vacate the area. Si, don't laugh- laugh at jokes that are funny.

Well the whole thread is sexist Rosie... But I do agree, its not good humor to joke about beating a woman senseless (or ANYONE for that matter) just because they could shut their "f'in" mouths.

I just thought that the FWD email was cute... And it says as a sense of humor... And I did think it was funny because its just saying yes, men and women should be different species because one thinks one thing is right and the other thinks the total opposite is better.

I agree Rosie... Their "humor" wasn't so great either.

lol, yes- i may vaguely laugh at sexist jokes that are FUNNY. Because everyone should have appreciation for a funny joke! But not when they are just appauling jokes like those ones, its like some stupid football hooligan went 'ooh ooh, i know- this one is funny." and made a shite joke up on the spot. If you are going to be sexist at least do it in style.

Rosie dear, stop playing double standards.  Just because you don't think a given joke is funny doesn't mean the joke is in bad taste. Frankly, I find all those jokes funny.  And so do about a dozen of my friends.  Not to mention the VAST MAJORITY of the people I have told them too.  I have a whole collection of BAD jokes about all kinds of topics.

Frankly, I think it says a lot about a person if you can't laugh at an innaproriate joke like that.

Comedy AS A UNIVERSAL RULE is someone elses pain.  ALWAYS.  You cannot name me a comedic event that I cannot demonstrate that it is rooted in laughing at someones misfortune.

Some of us are just more honest with ourselves.

Or wait, you are British.  So maybe to be funny it has to involve cross dressing, walking funny or someone being hit with a heavy blunt object?

Somebody isn't an automatically an idiot or stupid because they disagree with you. I don't see any real reason to lock it. I think people can work it out in a civilised manner. So long as people aren't insulting other people we'll be fine.

Plus I plan on responding to it, so I can't lock it ;)

Hah. yeah it is hard to think of something. There is certainly not a lot funnier than seeing somebody fall over, lol. But how about my favourite joke, the orange for a head joke? (http://forums.nessaholics.com/viewtopic.php?t=345). It doesn't work too well when delivered via text (rather than speaking) But I can't see that it is about somebody elses pain.

Bah, a few terribly unfunny british comics make it well known over in the US (does the fact that only the poor british comics made it say anything?) and the entirety of british comedy is tarred with the same brush. Benny Hill was never funny! Oh what irrepairable damage him and his kind have done :?

However, I can't deny that the all time funniest comedy is The Simpsons (thankyou America :))

P.S. Alan Partridge is the finest example of British humour (IMHO) Anybody ever seen it in the US?

Also, this thread is equally sexist, no one should be offended (not that I, being a girl, was, but I'm just saying). I understand what both sexes are saying and you know what . . .

IT'S ALL A BUNCH OF BULLSHIT

Neither sex is superior to the other, that's why Feminist piss me of so goddam much.

Oh please- if anything i think of that as American humour. The reason why you do not 'get our sense of humour' is because we have a sense of irony in ours. Not blatant, straight forward jokes or slapstick comedy. Unlike yours.

Like Kevin said, you are clearly tarnished with the old british comedians who no-one even remotely finds funny anymore. So please, stop making gross generalisations unless you have some idea of what britian finds amusing- like Alan Partridge (funniest man in the world, ever).

Quote from: "PIBby"
no one should be offended

Nobody can help what they find offensive. To me it seems (not on the board, but everywhere) that all too often people plead the right to say whatever they like and then deny people the right to voice objection to what is said. That way they can avoid the responsibility of having to watch what they say for fear of hurting somebody by blaming any offense caused on the "over sensitivity" or "prudishness" of the offended.

The humour of the joke (like all jokes) is in the unexpectedness of the punchline. The shear wrongness of it only adds to the surprise. Surprise is one of the main things that make up what we find funny. In total fairness, I don't think anybody who's ever told or laughed at that joke actually finds the idea of battered women funny in itself.

I don't know if you've ever noticed it... but part of my sense of humor involves saying things that get people to react the way I want them to react.  Then when I get them riled up, they usually realize i'm messing with them and we all have a good laugh.  The magic in it is keeping a straight face till you get the desired reaction out of people.  Luckily this isn't a problem over the internet, thus, I get a good laugh.  Although, it's not quite as fun for my victims when they don't get to see my mischevious grin.

Ask people who've met me, because I'm sure they have all been the victim at one time or another.  I know nikkee has  :twisted:

Anyways.  Regardless of if you believe me, being a smartass would only be considered Ironic if you would normally expect me to specifically NOT be a smartass.  Actually, more accuratly, for me to be the OPPOSITE of a smartass.  If you expected me to be completely serious.  Thus is the definiton of Irony.

So do you normally expect me to be completely straight laced and serious?  If so, then maybe I don't communicate properly on here.

I always figured most people assume I am ALWAYS being a smartass  :wink:

Besides, it's almost impossible for something I say to backfire.  I damn near always get the results I want from people.  Sometimes people just don't realize they are giving me the reaction I want.
