Offence in comedy

Re: Offence in comedy

I don't know who the poster was, but I imagine it's context. Leon's "jokes" as I remember it were nazi name puns, like "it's Goring be a long day" or something.

I doubt the poster was offended by Nazi puns, but more likely that he was doing them as an up yours to people a little concerned that he'd just done two nazi salutes at trump's inauguration event.

In fact, there was a time - not long ago either - when pretty much all of us didn't find genuine nazi salutes funny. Times and fashions change, eh?

The point being, he was offended by a joke (about a serious topic). But that does happen, hence illustrating it in this thread.

I find it odd to be offended by a joke, especially to the point of being motivated enough by it to complain to someone

I think though it’s more that some people like to complain, and with everything online it’s now a lot easier to complain. And over the last few years people have seemed to enjoy complaining even more than they used to

I draw your attention to my apparently committing the very act of offensive humour just a few minutes ago.
