Probably that the biggest of idiots cannot see humour in taboo whereas everyone else can.

Eddie Murphy, Key and Peele, Chappelle, Chris Rock, Katt Williams, shit I've been into black humor for years.

Thank you, I love black humour. Does that mean I am smarter than everyone who down votes me?

​

Edit: Does that mean I am dumber than all who up vote me?

I recently made a taboo joke in a reddit comment and got downvoted into oblivion. It feels good to know that all those people just didn't like it because they're dumb 👍

People who don't understand when and why and where and with whom that sort of humor is funny, and just go for a shotgun maximum impact approach probably don't, though, any more than people who are so comfortable with their bodies that they want to give everyone on the bus a free show get more and better sex like the, uh, context-appropriate body-confident folks do.

My grandfather never made it out of Auschwitz. He got drunk and fell out of a guard tower.

I think the caveat here is timing and audience. Most people aren't adverse to a good dark joke as long as they know everyone involved doesn't actually think that way. My roommate is black and I have Italian heritage, we occasionally say slightly racist shit to each other in good humor but know each other's limit. This is after dozens of hours of deep dialogue about systemic racism and similar topics.

Of course the dude who opens up a party with dead baby jokes or the like is definitely not the brightest bulb.

I have a t-shirt with Stalin's picture on it that says

It’s almost like smart folks can process ideas without buying into them wholeheartedly. On the other hand, pearl clutching folks that can’t think outside their bubble.

This is the last thing redditors need to see. Now they’re just gonna be trying to be darker and edgier; this might even bring back dead baby jokes, let’s just leave them in the past.

My friends and I are savage with one another. I made one too many jokes about sucking some dick and my gay friend said I was a bigger f*g than he was. My black friend called me a peckerwood and I called him the N-word. All you have to do is exist and we have a roast just waiting.

Then I come here and have to rein it in so as not to scandalize the classy likes of Reddit. Wouldn't want any swooning or monocle dropping now would we?

I’ve no problem with tasteless humor, it’s one of the few things that I do well. But it’s not dark. I’m not making the rules, I simply read the study. Nor do I care about what you fins funny, but will point out when someone reads a headline and jumps straight to “look at meeee! This is what I doooooo!” Being a poser is also not dark humor.
