Dead Baby Jokes
|
Oh man. I'm guilty of loving these, too. xDD My friend told me a bunch, but I'll have to gather them up sometime--I can't remember them word for word right now. D:
I think it's funny because it's so obscene and obviously immoral. The whole "taboo" thing makes it funny, I guess. Anyone every heard of the satirist Johnathan Swift? He suggested that, in order to solve the economic problems in Ireland, everyone should eat dead babies and/or make them into gloves and boots. Mmhm. I suspect baby skin is very suitable for gloves. 8D ...I'm so going to get lynched for this. >.> In defense: it's a SATIRE. That's not what he really thinks. xD |
I used to be amused by them when I was younger, but now I've just heard so many, they bug me. xD; Too many comedians who're all "Oh, [unfunny joke].... but hey, DEAD BABIES! :'DDD" and think themselves hilarious for it. xD; Nothing against the previously mentioned Johnathan Swift, of course, as I've never seen him. But you get my beef, I'm just tired of people playing out the humor of it until it becomes unfunny.
For the record, your two favourites did make me snerk. xD |
Actually I don't hear dead baby jokes often, if not at all.
They don't exactly amuse me though. I guess its just not my cup of tea. |
Egh. What if there are some Menewshans on here who have lost their children? It'd be no different than making "retard jokes" when some people on here either have a mental disability or someone close to them who does.
I lost a family member who was barely over a year old due to a mitochondria-related disease. The thought of any child being dead and nailed to a tree really doesn't strike humor in me. Whatever floats your boat though. Just because I find them sick and tasteless definitely doesn't mean everyone else has to. |
Actually...Swift died in 1745. ^^;; He's an author--he wrote "A Modest Proposal".
He's a satirist, so he's not a comedian. He's using something as obscene and obviously ridiculous (I hope) such as eating babies to get his point across--it was about poverty and economical problems in Ireland. Think of really, really dark sarcasm. xD [[The dead baby jokes reminded me of this ^^; Sorry, it's sort of a stretch]] D: Sometimes I think back and go "...ok, that wasn't funny, but I laughed" You know those jokes where you laugh, but then realize it wasn't funny at all? Yea...dead baby jokes have that effect on me. It's like I'm laughing because it's so absurd. Does that make sense? o.o |
I like them also, it makes me feel REALLY bad when I'm laughing at them, I found a whole website yesterday filled with dead baby jokes xD
I felt bad when reading them but I just couln't stop ;o |

I'll probably grow out of loving them, because they are so awful. |

I've never heard dead baby jokes until I came in here, and I think your just sick if you think those are funny.... :?

I find them very disturbing and don't approve of them being told, let alone people finding it amusing. Exactly what do you find humorous about a child being chopped to pieces and being nailed to trees? If that's the type of thing that we laugh about these days, we're definitely heading to hell with a bow on the basket. Those are some of the most twisted, horrible things that I've ever heard in my life and it sickens me that people actually find amusement in it. I would like to see them laugh when its their child or sibling that's been piled a corpse in the garage.

I don't like them, but that's just me. I happen to love perverted jokes to death. And blonde jokes.
"Stake me harder, Seishirou-san!" anyone? No..? Oh well... But do I think all blondes are stupid? No. I happen to know the stupidest brunette ever. >_> And a 5th grade blonde who is like...10x brighter and more mature than I am. Am I perverted? HELL NO. The last thing on my mind when I look at a guy is sex. :/ I think he's hot, as in kissable, but not sexable. xD So, sometimes it's wrong to judge people by the jokes they tell. But then again, if my baby cousin Kylie died, and then someone told me a dead-baby joke, they'd be beat up. Really, personal-feelings on the topics are what makes the jokes unfunny to some. It's not like they're really nailing babies to trees, right? So it's just because we, emotionally, dislike the concept. I know rakwel does not want to see dead babies, because she loves my baby cousin almost 25% as much as I do---which is a lot, by the way. Why does she find the jokes funny? I don't know. Why do I find perverted jokes funny? Blonde ones? The same person who hates these jokes might also hate homosexuals and make gay jokes. Or they might accept homosexuals but still joke about it. =/ BOTTOM LINE; As my mother says, "know your audience," so that nothing personal gets in the way of comedy. I don't know who else likes these jokes, but if they do and don't really nail babies to trees, they can laugh about them all day long. Just...no touching Kylie... |
If I had a baby sister whom just died and someone told me a Dead Baby Joke, that person would be the next person that would be buried in that day. That's all I have to say on that matter.
I know that some people like to joke about bad things to make light of a bad situation or matter, but I just don't see how anything like a dead baby could be made any better by a joke like this. |
Made better...? I don't know how joking about dead babies can make things better... Dx Honestly, I can't see how it's humorous, but they're not hurting any babies I know. So they can go take their jokes somewhere else, but I won't call them a baby-murderer if they say one.
That is, unless Kylie died. Dx Then, as mentioned, I'd take it personal and hit things. Hard. ((And I thought you'd never take a life. *looks at thread in Debates* o.o;; )) |
What's Grey red and swings?
Dead Baby on A Meat Hook. |
Hahah.
I love these dead baby jokes. xD I like to tell them in the car to my mother, where she cannot escape. She ends up yelling at me about how gross they are, and I giggle madly. x333 Ah, fun times, fun times. |
Hey, you ever seen a dead baby so dehydrated and hungry that he looked like a mummy?
Ever hear a real case study of a child actually being put in a microwave? Ever talked to a cop who handled a case where a guy snapped a 2 year old in half because her older sister was throwing a fit? (Dont' worry, they killed the older sister too, no guilt there people)? Have you ever seen bruises on the inside of a 4 year olds head thanks to autoposy reports? No? Yeah, then you probably think those jokes are funny. |
Nah, I'm not a fan of dead baby jokes. Not because they're offensive or that's immoral or anything, I just really don't find them funny. The first dead baby joke I heard was the one about the tree and nails, and my first reaction was "wha?" I searched for the funiness, but couldn't find it.
Then again I tend to think too much. Blonde jokes are hilarious though, so are some race jokes, but dead baby jokes? They'd have to be really good to make me laugh. |
What's worse than a dead baby in the middle of the road?
A dead baby in your soup! What's worse than a dead baby being eaten by ants? A dead baby being eaten by a live baby =D |
I just find dead baby jokes distasteful. I dunno, I've always had a fondness for babies and it makes me cringe to hear them. I know a lot of people find them funny, but I can't.
|
I don't like them just because around my friends, they usually open the door to jokes about black people, and the mentally disabled and the handicapped, which I find rather sickening. It's just a path I'd rather not tread down.
|
-shudders- I hate those jokes. They're so sick... ; ____ ; I don't see how anyone could possibly find any humor in those... I think it's so disgusting... |
Quote:
No, I haven't, and I don't think she has either, thank Buddha *shudders*. But guess what? By laughing at this joke, she's not saying she wants my baby cousin---or any other baby for that matter---to be hurt in any way. Just like I say sexual jokes and don't want to have sex. And I say blonde jokes but don't judge a person by their hair-color. It may be horrible to some---including me *huggles baby cousin*---but don't think rakwel honestly wants to nail a dead baby to a tree. Sure, it's not the smartest thing to say BECAUSE some people have emotional problems with the concept---such as myself---but that's a completely different issue. Well, I could address it, but... |
I think you need to reread what I said and actually pick up on the point.
No where ever did I point out that because someone said a joke that they wanted to DO it. So that basically makes the majority of your post useless to me. My actual point is, these jokes aren't funny to people who have to deal with the reality that people actually DO these things to children. I can't possibly find the humor in something that I've read a person actually doing to a child. I couldn't possibly find the humor in something I've seen been done to a child. I have had to sit through a dead baby slide show, I've had to look at children's wounds to be able to tell what caused them and how. Then, I get online or hear someone think they're being cute and oh so funny and all I can think about is, how is this funny when people actually have the ability to do what these others are joking about. I was, like several other people in this thread, discussing why I don't think these jokes are funny. Why I think they are distasteful, rude and discusting. I guess I just should have stated that and people wouldn't have jumped on me like they didn't do to the others. |
I don't realy think they are funny ^^; sorry.
