I get your point, since I don't like the jokes either. I was just saying that rakwel isn't a baby-murderer---which I guess most people already knew... I don't want anyone thinking that...so I'm getting too jumpy. Dx I really am sorry... D: |
You guys really shouldn't take things so personal.
When someone tells a dead baby joke, it doesn't mean they want a baby dead. It doesn't mean they like hearing about children dying or being hurt. If anything, this is to help some people with the thought of dead children. Humor helps them feel better, or some people at least, and as sick as that may sound, you have to realize that the jokes are not directed at you to make you feel bad. |
I love them as well. I don't know why, but dead baby jokes are the best for breaking tension (pervy jokes are good as well). In my opinion, a joke is a joke and anyone that gets offended by one needs a reality check.

Eh. I'm sort of sickly fascinated by the dead baby jokes. Sometimes they bother me, and other times I'm indifferent. Definitely depends on a mood, for me.
Jonathon Swift's proposal was amazing, though. I think that was the most amusing satire I read. |
I don't get them -- I think you have to be sick and completely sadistic and twisted to find enjoyment in the fact of dead mutilated babies.
It's not a joke in most cases -- this stuff actually happens. It's not a "why did a chicken cross the road" type joke. This is real. Ugh, I don't even like talking about this -- next topic, please. >_>; |
I had never heard of these things before today. I've got an almost 2 year old, so no, these are not amusing to me at all. Give me harmless, corny jokes over those anyday.
|
I'm sorry, but dead baby jokes just aren't funny. They're gross and depressing.

OH NO, THERE ARE JOKES ABOUT THAT! THOSE JOKES ARE HORRIBLE, I OWNED A CHICK ONCE! IT HAPPENS IN REAL LIFE SO IT'S NOT FUNNY. -whinewhinewhine- No. |
xDDD I'm a rather sick person, I'll definately admit that. :3
But when telling 'jokes' to me, it takes a lot to actually make me laugh. >< I'm picky when it comes to my humor, and will often slam another, (or a comedian I see on TV xD) if they tell me something completely ridiculous. I had a friend who was quite obsessed with these 'dead baby jokes'. She had a book where the entire back page was filled with them.. so of course I read them. They didn't really appeal to that demented side of Ruki. ;-; But I still read them anyways (shame I can't remember any of them) though I didn't laugh. I mostly frowned at the idiocy of them. xDDD Like who's the psychotic who decided to throw a story about a mangled baby corpse around and thought it was humorous? << It's just not! Not because it's considered to be *gasp* shameful, but because it's just.. not.. funny. v.v;; It's like saying, "What's better than ten dead kittens stapled to ten trees?" One dead kitten stapled to one tree. OH HAHAHA... wait... o.o;; That wasn't funny. DDDx (And called me sick and cruel, but I'm more affected when animals get wasted rather than humans. Pro-life my ass, we're all wasting ourselves away and WE'RE going to start the apocalypse, not the dead. D<) |
wow, i dislke dead baby jokes..makes me feel messed up inside
|
Ehh I didnt find humor in it but be careful some people have lost children before so it might hit a tender spot.
|
I guess I have a hard time disassociating the anonymous, faceless baby in the joke from 'someone's baby', with a mother and a family. I can't just think of 'baby' as an item, it will always be a living, breathing term to me.

See, the problem with these jokes is that it's a sore spot and controversial topic. It's like those racial jokes going on--one thing I never get is how come it's ok for someone of their own race to call each other slurs, but anyone else who does so is immediately pounced on. :| Personally, I just don't use any of the slurs. ((Another example: how is calling to your friend "hey, bitch!" a sign of affection?))
But on the other hand, I'm guilty of laughing at the dead baby jokes my friend tells. Again, it's not that I truly believe they're funny--it's because it's so absurd that you end up laughing and then go "...but wait. That's not funny." And, like others have said before, just because I laugh at the jokes doesn't mean I go around nailing babies to trees. This is like the argument that video games make people violent. That's just ridiculous. I honestly don't think any of the baby killings occured because of a joke, either. I'll admit that there are occasions for this and then there are occasions where you just shut up and keep all jokes to yourself. I also respect the opinions of people who find these distasteful and offensive--I myself find "chink" and "nigger" jokes offensive as well, but that doesn't stop people from telling them. Just like with any joke, it's not funny once it happens to you. But we're not talking about Joe and Susie's baby--we're talking about babies in general. That doesn't necessariliy make it right, but I suppose some could use it as a rebuke against the argument of someone disliking these jokes because of some baby they know. @Rakwel: That's the point I've been trying to make, and failing horribly because I get so wound up on leading from one topic to another I don't know who I'm replying to anymore xD Everyone, probably. Anyway. A joke is something meant to lighten the mood or just laugh at--I wouldn't really go laugh at a dead baby on a meat hook or whatever. Anyone ever seen the show "America's Funniest Videos?" Everyone laughs at the clips, but who would really laugh at a grandfather flipping over a motorbike? |
I guess we will find it unamusing right when we have our own babies.. I've never heard about them before but the two you posted were quite funny. It's quite disgusting if you think about it for too long but the jokes were well thought up.

I used to think they were funny when I was in high school, but then they got old and not so funny. I don't like them anymore. I guess your sense of humor changes when you get older.
|
lol These are all so funny. Sorry if it's already said [and it's similar to the first joke but I've heard it a different way]
What's worse than ten dead babies in a trash can? One Dead baby in ten trash cans! =] ♥♥♥ |

Exactly. You're not so much laughing at the content as you are laughing at the horribleness.
|
lol those are hallirous.. I like the porch one.
|
n_n I looked them up on the internet...
there are some sick..sick people out there Dx |
I really should not think those are funny...
|
My apologies, I misread.
Q: What's red and bloody and crawling up your leg? A: A homesick abortion. Q: How do you get a pile of dead babies in the trunk of your car? A: A blender. Q: How do you get a pile of dead babies out of the trunk of your car? A: Tortilla chips. When I tell those jokes, I'm not really thinking about going out and blending dead babies. Of course it's disgusting, that's what makes it funny! We take the most unethical and immoral thing we can think of, dead babies, and turn them into a dark joke. It wouldn't be funny if it wasn't completely outrageous. |
hehehe well I don't mind all jokes well.. some are idiotic are funny XDDD
LOL if you can makes jokes about dead people why not babies? XD I think they rock |
