Even that doesn't work for me. No joke, people tell me they don't like the way I chew. Apparently I chew really fast and noisily. I offend people by eating. :(
No, just no. It means you can make fun of people who have higher status/power and that's fine. Just don't pick on groups that are already marginalized, because that's punching down.
Or you could continue to delude yourself into believing that making fun of those who are already downtrodden somehow makes the situation lighter.
"No, just no."
Yes, just yes.
"It means you can make fun of people who have higher status/power and that's fine. Just don't pick on groups that are already marginalized, because that's punching down."
Both can be funny.
"Or you could continue to delude yourself into believing that making fun of those who are already downtrodden somehow makes the situation lighter."
Comedy isn't about making the situation lighter, it's about being funny.
Also, fuck your SJW status/power bullshit. All people are equal and fair game to make fun of.
This isn't a word for word response to what you said but it definitely applies. "No people aren't 'more sensitive' now. People aren't 'too politically correct' now. Nor are people 'just looking for a reason to be offended' now.
We, as people, know better now. Therefore we, as people, are trying to do better now."
>all comedy is based on some sort of misery
>mfw this kid doesn't know a thing about comedy
How is that a rule of comedy?
