A few months back on a sunny Saturday afternoon I was sitting on a bench watching the kids play on the playground. A woman came up and sat next to me "Aren't they just precious at this age?" she says.

"Yeah it's nice to see them out playing and not stuck in front of the TV all day, they grow up so quick" I replied.

She smiles and asks "So which is yours then?"

After a short pause i respond "Hmm i've not decided yet!"
 
I don't really find anything offensive, not that I've heard so far at least.

Having said that I do want my comedy to make a point or provoke thought. A comedian could tell a story that a huge number of people find deeply offensive, but if it's well delivered and there's a point hidden within then in my opinion it has more right to exist than Michael McIntyre talking about things that he can see.

I saw Doug Stanhope last month. He was fantastic.

What? Of course there is. If I was to start mercilessly mocking you for something personal to you with the intent to either upset you or display superiority, that would be offensive humour.

But being offended means nothing, and nothing happens if you are offended.

People are too precious nowadays. There's a good stand-up routine by an Aussie comedian called Steve Hughes on this subject (being offended). Can't link it since it contains swear words.

Well doofer god forbid, if your wife had had a miscarriage, a still birth or whatever, your virginal daughter had been gang raped, and one of your works colleague continued to make jokes about it, would you NOT be offended? As such from what you have written it would be you with the problem, it is "nothing to do with anyone else"

So why is it okay to laugh at other people's misfortune in these fictional situations?

If your work colleagues know that your child got gang-raped and they carry on making jokes about it then you have bigger problems and need to get better colleagues. If someone you don't know tells a joke about gang-raping children then you have every right to be offended or upset by it, but I'm not sure how it's anyone's problem other than your own.
 
I'm disabled, but still crack up at disabled jokes.

I can't help it, I just find things like that funny. My dad always said "If you cant laugh at yourself, then laugh at no-one"
 
My humour is Doug Stanhope/ Bill Burr and of course the legendary, Bill Hicks and George Carling.

Humour is a look into life, understanding it is your perspective of life. :cool:
 
Any humour seems to be acceptable until it hits a nerve...

I bet half the posters in this thread would get upset if someone posted Paris jokes or memes.
