Dead Baby Jokes

[Cortney]

So I'm sure you've all heard the dead baby jokes, or at least violent jokes centered around babies. What's your opinion on them? Are they funny? Are they humorous but abused? Are they going too far?

Personally, I think it depends on the joke. Some of them make me smile, but oftentimes the people who tell dead baby jokes tell them way too much and ruin them for me. Then again, there are some that are so descriptive and disgusting that I am really offended (in particular, the jokes that refer to the rape of babies...that's taking it too far, IMO)

So yup. Discuss.

WTF! I would never.....I mean.....WTF! What kind of people do YOU hang out with!? I have never heard 1 dead baby joke! OMG I can't belive there are jokes like that!

On the other hand pedofilejokes are funny:
"what's so great about 26 years old's?There is 6 of them!" Say it out loud it you don't get it.....

Not too fond of them. Still, every now and then there are funny ones, or some that you really shouldn't be laughing at but still make you giggle. That being said, same thing happens to me, if they are too graphic or disgusting i tend to just ignore them.

Overall I guess I let them be for what they are, just jokes

Edit: Racist or sexist jokes on the other hand I can't stand. I hate stereotyping or labeling...

You want to know what's key to a good joke timing.

The only dead baby jokes I've ever heard were the "atheists eat dead babies" ones, which are neither funny nor terribly polite, so I can't say as I've enjoyed any lol.

[sjoerd]

Probably the only time dead baby jokes can be funny, is when there is no one in the room that has any experience with dead children or children that are/were incredibly sick. If you dare to make a dead baby joke when there is somebody in the room who's baby is dead, then you, sir, are a dick.

I find some humor in dead baby jokes, guess it's kind of a guilty pleasure in a way, because I usually feel bad about it.. but it's not as if the people telling the jokes are advocating dead babies, or anybody really intends to do some of these horrible, horrible things to a dead baby.

I've always tried to, well, to steal a phrase from ricky, "Overall I guess I let them be for what they are, just jokes"

I know people can see it as wrong, and it really is a vile disgusting thing, but there isn't much wrong with humor for humor sake, and shock humor is fairly common.

It's all locker room talk, guys. Don't say it in a crowded room, and don't say them in front of your parents.

One kid in my class gets on my nerves with them. Normally they dont bother me, but this kid is the AD%&*(@*$# DOUCHE BAG ON EARTH! Sorry had to get that out. Heres the story

My Algebra teacher has had two misscarages in the past four years, and its hit her really hard. She told our class that she never hated a student, except for one 3 years ago after her first misscarage had come up to her and asked if she had had her baby yet(The student was joking, he knew that she hadnt). this was not the boy in my class, but the boy in my class didnt like our teacher much, so he started saying dead baby jokes, but he would say Mrs._____ dead baby...

Now a girl in the class below us always brings pasta for lunch. This kid in my class(Not the douce bag) Jokingly said it was a dead baby. End of Joke. But the douche bag goes and says that it is Mrs.____ dead baby, and that the girl had somehow gotten Mrs.____ dead baby and cut it up and eaten it. No need to say the kid got in trouble. I am glad he got in trouble, but of course my algebra teacher found out about it. Think how hard that would be to teach the kid for the rest of the smester(Two months)

What's the difference between a watermelon and a baby?

One's fun to smash with a hammer, the other one's a watermelon.

[marcy]

I've heard them
They can be sort of amusing in a sick way hahaha
It depends how you take them really
It's nothing to get worked up over
There are plenty of inappropriate jokes about everything

@picnic

See, that's completely sick. Even the kind-hearted (lol irony) dead baby joke would have annoyed me, but relating it to your teacher's baby is really low. This is why they're not funny. If they were used sparingly I would probably enjoy them more.

I know, I mean if they are subtle and not often, and not terrible gross, theyre okay. Like Jaw a couple posts back. It wasnt terrible and it wasnt gross. It was haha then guilty. thats the point. They are a guilty pleasure, but sometimes they can go to far.

What do you do with a dead baby?
Blender.

How do you get the dead baby out of the blender?
Tortilla Chips.


So wrong. But irrisistable.

[DubiousKing]

I do get a good chuckle out of dead baby jokes, even though I find them so wrong. I can hear about two or three before I start to feel really guilty about laughing at them.

Also, here's a couple of jokes if anyone wants to read them. Putting them in spoiler tags for those who don't.

Nail its other hand to the floor.

But 'someone' has to make the sandwiches amirite?

As for dead baby jokes, I find them hilarious. I take them for what they are: jokes. Rather if there are too many of them in quick succession I find them tiring. But a dead baby joke every now and then is something that would maybe make my day.... don't say them around my friend tori though, she aspires to be a social worker.

so are telling black jokes less offensive than telling dead baby jokes? What about sexist jokes? Or gay jokes?

[Insane_Zang]

I had never heard a dead baby joke till I read (skimmed) this thread. It's just not right

Still less offensive

EDIT: Ok, not offensive, just wrong in general.

Oh, it's just racial profiling, get over it
