My usual rule is that the joke isn’t funny unless the target is laughing. It’s like the men finding it funny that the man in the comic is a pig, because men are the target. If they laugh, generally it’s okay.

If you think about two people telling jokes aimed at each other and enjoying the activity. It’s like two friends giving each other a hard time. It’s not serious. Of course there is the age old rules of time, place and choosing your audience. You would be considered not too bright to tell jokes or stories about killing cats at a Humane Society Event.

It’s true that some people are overly sensitive but if I’m ok about making jokes about myself it’s kinder to do that instead.

After watching the South Park movie, not sure if I agree with that Lumooja… :)

I think people who get offended by something which was not meant to offend anyone, are offending the people who made the thing which was not meant to be offending.

It took me a while to see what was going on in that comic strip.

Agreed that it’s easy to make funny jokes about other people but maybe it’s best not too, sometimes it can make that person feel bad too.
