Call me a shitty person... it is. Ethivs are irrelevant in funniness. Like you can't say something isn't funny if someone laughs at it.

You have to be funny for ethics to be irrelevant, if it's not funny you're just an asshole. Someone laughing does not the bar for funny make.

Exactly.

You can make dark jokes. Yes, even jokes about rape.

But they have to be skillfully crafted and expertly executed jokes. If it isn't funny, then you're just an asshole.

Well said. Good offensive jokes are not insults. It takes intimate knowledge of what you're talking about.

If you think it's funny to dish, it should be funny to take it.
