Is It Wrong That I Find This funny?

[chucklesx123]

is it wrong if i think dead baby jokes are hilarious? 17.How do you turn a baby into a dog? Pour gas over it and light a match. Woof. 18.How do you turn a baby into a cat? Freeze it solid, then run it through a bandsaw. Meeow. 19.How do you get 100 babies into a bucket? With a blender. How do you get them out again? With Doritos.

[Puffin]

I sure don't find them funny, almost mean.

[smurfman]

Whats worse than a pile of dead babies? The live one in the middle chewing its way out. Whats the difference between a pile of dead babies and a Ferrari? I don't have a Ferrari in my garage

[Sentaku]

Your name is chuckles, therefore you obviously find almost anything funny.

[spockman]

Well, is it the joke iself you find funny or the general reaction you get from people when you tell them? Is just about any style of joke that goes beyond social norms a laugh or do you actually find violence against babies to be an amusing concept?

Well, is it the joke iself you find funny or the general reaction you get from people when you tell them? Is just about any style of joke that goes beyond social norms a laugh or do you actually find violence against babies to be an amusing concept? Yay shock humour. Dead baby jokes stopped being funny as soon as they became popular. Because if it's well-known and commonly used it isn't shocking.

[Snowboy]

Oh, those are mean! It's funnier if you replace 17 with a cat and 18 with a dog. The last one isn't very funny, but the doritos part got me. Dead baby jokes aren't funny, though.

[Universal Mind]

What is funnier than a dead baby? A dead baby in a clown suit. How do you make a dead baby float? One scoop of ice cream, one scoop of dead baby. Well, is it the joke iself you find funny or the general reaction you get from people when you tell them? Is just about any style of joke that goes beyond social norms a laugh or do you actually find violence against babies to be an amusing concept? It's the outrageously morbid nature of the concepts plus the surprise answers that is funny. The ideas are so far beyond the fringe of what is decent and acceptable, but at the same time it is obvious that they are not meant to be serious. It is really twisted and surprising stuff that is not to be taken seriously at all. I love dark humor in general, but I am a million miles from being a sociopath

I love dark humor in general, but I am a million miles from being a sociopath I don't find it funny... it's cruel and plain mean. The surprise answers are clever, I'll admit it, but really, how is the picture of that in your mind funny? Thinking it's funny is just as bad as actually doing it (in my mind). Whoever thinks these jokes are funny might as well be laughing at bloody horror movies. My attitude towards these jokes =

My attitude towards these jokes = You think laughing at ridiculous fiction is as bad as really killing babies? I don't believe you.

My attitude towards these jokes = This is why I find humour like this funny. As soon as you laugh and are comfortable with it you are saying, "I am very aware of what is fact and fiction. I know full well that dead babies are a bad thing, but this is a fiction that is funny because it is a fiction." People react like Snowboy here seem to have issues separating fact and fiction. Or, more likely, have difficultly being comfortable seen doing something against the social norm (you know...back when dead baby jokes were even slightly against the norm). It reveals who's secure and insecure than anything else.

[Spenner]

What's worse than 3 dead babies in one trash can????? One dead baby in 3 trash cans!!!! etc I feel no remorse for finding a good joke funny, generally, no matter the subject. Hilarity is for the sake of hilarity, and if there's some deeper serious meaning to the joke, well, I don't have to feel compelled to believe it. Shock humour is good stuff. I'm not sure what kind of sense of humour this would be categorized under, but I do find this funny. this isn't really a youtubepoop...

I see what you're trying to say, but the picture that you get in your head just isn't funny and is not one that people should have in their heads, much less laugh at.

[XeL]

What is funnier than a dead baby? A dead baby in a clown suit. Oh man, this one caught me off guard. Good job. I've always been a big fan of morbid humour. I see what you're trying to say, but the picture that you get in your head just isn't funny and is not one that people should have in their heads, much less laugh at. I pictured a dead baby in a clown suit, and I laughed. Once again, this is entirely ficitonal.

Thinking it's funny is just as bad as actually doing it (in my mind). I remember as a child being told that things that I see on TV aren't always real. I remember thinking how obvious that was, even when I was young. Your inability to recognize the objective difference between a thought and an action are nothing short of mental disability.

Your inability to recognize the objective difference between a thought and an action are nothing short of mental disability. What people don't get is that I actually can tell the difference. I'm not stupid. Besides, that mental disorder comment was a bit harsh, wouldn't you agree? I'm just saying that people shouldn't laugh at this kind of stuff. It isn't good to laugh at, and as I said before, people shouldn't even have these thoughts in their heads, much less laugh at it. I answered the question, and you know what, you shouldn't criticize people for their opinions. You shouldn't say that somebody has a mental disorder because they think something is morally wrong and you disagree. I could call all of the people here sadistic idiots that spend their days laughing at horror movies, but you know what, I don't. Why don't do you do everyone a favor and at least try to say something decent?

Why don't do you do everyone a favor and at least try to say something decent? You may as well have said that. You said laughing about something violent and disturbing is as bad as doing something violent and disturbing. You directly equated people who enjoy such dark humour to murderers. I agree, accusing you of having a mental disorder is harsh. Also, I think you are stupid and I think it's entirely fair to critisize your idiotic and unfounded opinion. What harm is caused that could be anywhere near murder when someone laughs about murder? Especially about a murder that didn't even happen. At the worst, when someone makes a joke like that it might upset someone who is sensitive to the issue, such as someone who has had a friend who was murdered and I would agree that purposefully using such "humour" to cause that kind of reaction is a pretty cruel thing to do. But it's nowhere near actually murdering someone and it's not what we're talking about. Given the context of a "bad" joke that everyone who hears it enjoys, what is the harm? How is it immoral?

OK, you should know that I didn't mean what I said literally. You would be the stupid one to think I thought dead baby jokes were as bad full-blown murder. It's common sense to be able to tell that. Now, I won't post a full-blown rant as to why it is immoral (note I never said I didn't rant), so I will use some quick explaining instead. Er... it's a bit hard to explain, but I will try to explain my logic. Lets go through some examples. How do you get 100 babies into a bucket? With a blender. Now, let's imagine that scenario. First, you have to blend one baby at a time. Imagine all the blood and gore and bones and whatnot as it is turned into a liquid. Then you repeat with the other 99 babies. Do you really like that image? Do you really think it's funny? Would you laugh at that image if it was in a painting? I think not. Next example. How do you turn a baby into a dog? Pour gas over it and light a match. Woof. OK, first off, gasoline is bad as it is. The baby is inhaling the fumes and practically choking. It is suffering really bad. Oh look, a match. You are going to make the suffering worse. You put the match on the baby, it catches on fire. It is screaming in agony as it burns to its death. Its skin is peeling off, it is choking from the fire, and it is still screaming. Still think the jokes are funny? I hope not. If you do you are probably a sadistic idiot who spends his/her days laughing at horror movies. Hopefully I prove my point as to how the jokes are immoral.

[♥Mark]

You haven't proven anything. All you've done is spell out the gruesome details. So what am I supposed to conclude? It's gross, therefore it's immoral? Your examples actually miss the spirit of the joke entirely, but let's suppose that is what I found funny. What is the actual harm caused?

Your examples actually miss the spirit of the joke entirely, but let's suppose that is what I found funny. What is the actual harm caused? I never said there was harm done. What I'm trying to prove is that you shouldn't have such gruesome thoughts in your head and that you shouldn't be laughing at them. I don't even know what the spirit of the jokes is. I'm getting bored of this, so I'm going to un-subscribe now.

[♥Mark]

But if no harm is done, by what standard do you consider it to be immoral?

[Snowboy]

Immoral things are not always harmful in the sense of physicality (they can be thoughts, too). In case you're wondering how I saw this, I was looking through the "What's New" stuff.

[♥Mark]

So is there some kind of harm done? What is it?

[Snowboy]

OK, I didn't get that across correctly. Sorry about that. Immorality is not necessarily harmful, it doesn't have to be physical, and it can be manifested in your thoughts. In this case, it isn't harmful. Could we please end this discussion? This is getting old and pointless.
