Random Poll of the Day! (743)

[Kor]

Any other controversial type I need to add?

[alicetama]

Ethnic jokes.

[sonoci]

Hmmm. Gotta think on this one. I think I can be okay with any of them if they're done in good taste.

However, the textbook jokes of any of these that anyone could use/everyone's heard a million times/are bad taste, I'm not okay with any of them :V

I wanna say "political" but it's more of a case of "I don't get Political jokes"

[ProfParanoia]

I'd say ethnic or based on stereotype; also ones in reference to rape or beating of women to force submissive-ness.
Though obviously not unheard of exceptions

The worst are the ones that invoke both of these as a way to attack Japan (which I have to deal with a lot actually).

[Callid]

Ethnic ones. Or, more precisely, any dealing with a suppressed minority.

[Vylash]

As long as they're not malicious in nature, I'm okay with all of them

[Akonyl]

it all depends on intent and audience.

[sonoci]

As long as they're not malicious in nature, I'm okay with all of them

There's also this. If I can tell someone is just kidding and are aware what they're saying isn't true, it's fine

It's when people make a joke like "Haha, wife beaters" and actually find that type of violence amusing.

it all depends on intent and audience.

^This too

missed ethnic option

It's to be assumed any of these have a time and place, but that doesn't mean all are moot from being especially irking to you.

I went with dirty jokes because most of the jokes I've heard that I was not with were ones making light of or condoning some really nasty stuff.

[phreak_91]

None of the above.

[PhoenixTears]

Ethnic jokes (particularly racist ones), jokes based on stereotypes, and dark humor; though I can put up with dark humor a lot better than the other two.

Racist jokes, jokes mocking a person for something they have no control over and rape jokes are never, ever funny, I don't care who the the audience is. If I hear people make those kinds of jokes, I'll assume they're an ass and I have better things to do with my time than talk to them.

[Commi-Ninja]

For me, it all comes down to context.  Some things can be funny in certain situations that are absolutely not funny in others.

[KangarooGirl]

Yeah I'm okay with most jokes as long as they're not malicious or anything. But jokes about tragedies and things like that are almost always
