Aristoph 02/27/20 9:33:28 AM #67:	SSJCAT posted... i really dont understand why some people think racist or homophobic or whatever bigoted jokes are funny shock value funny Absurdity is a fundamental form of humor that has been used for all of human history. Something can be funny because it seems to be so obviously false to the viewer, but is being acted on as if completely true by the characters. That's also why it's possible for a joke to be racist, but not necessarily mean the person telling it is racist. Though in this day and age, the people telling them should probably know better. --- PSN ID: Aristoph http://www.youtube.com/user/SotCRules <cite>Aristoph posted [p:934942431] in Is an offe...
