There the real opportunity to have good communities here if everyone didn't take everything so god damn seriously.

Lighten up, it's funny.

Not really. I don't see how it's a good joke. Could it be? Sure. Maybe if Chapelle said it and had the right inflection. But it's pretty weak from a bargain store Fabio wannabe.

ah, remember when Chapelle stuck to jokes about a culture he's actually a part of?

How is it funny? The premise of the joke is she's not black. Where's the humor?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

It's funny because Hercules is a fucking idiot

This is why you can't find things funny.

It's funny because it's absurd. That's a staple of comedy since forever.

Ok, I'll bite. What's the premise?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

What exactly do you mean by premise?

Do all things need to have a premise to be funny?

I enjoy dark humor. I feel humor that could be taken as racist to be funny, if it's actually funny. I make jokes about my dead Mom to cope. When I'm insulted I tend to laugh at the absurdity. Slapstick can be fun. Fart joke? Heck yeah.

I'm not laughing.
