Why would Hitler be in heaven? Damn, that joke is anti-semetic as fuck!

What's the difference between Paula Radciffe and Hitler?
At least one of them tried to finish off a race.

I was saying that some of these so-called "jokes" are not jokes at all, simply stupid statements and absurd questions meant only to be offensive rather than offensive AND funny.
They don't even seem to be trying to be funny, and if they are, they are failing miserably.
There is a vast difference between clever, well-written, irreverent humor (such as Monty Python and Saturday Night Live's Not Ready for Prime Time Players) and crap simply mean to poke fun at someone/group without any humor in it.

After something terrible has happenned, usually on a national level, we begin circulating very poor taste jokes.

"What's worse than than having Michael Jackson babysit your kids?
Having Ian Huntley bath them."
Ooof!

genep said:There is one offensive joke that can topple not only governments but universities, and even religions.
Why it is so offensive that it drives all egos so crazy that they will bring down the wrath of the whole universe on top of you.
And yet this joke is so funny that its laughter can literally kill you.
The Joke is so potent that it is the Supreme Comedy:
“There is no such thing as thinking.”
What makes this comedy "supreme": it is no joke.
