Bad Taste Humour

 

"Skippety bee bop, Christopher Reeve

And Sonny Bono, look out for the trees

And how many retards will listen to me

When I say go to school and take a shot at the teach"

 

I was like wow. This guy just. Doesn't. Care.

 

Also, you may wish to investigate a website called Rotten. Actually you may not, but it's illustrative of what this thread is about.

When I was a teenager older people were offended by National Lampoon, Monty Python etc. Many years after the sarcastic humour of the Saturday Night Live shows, we had Howard Stern on the radio. People were tuned in to his morning shows everyday. People on subways with headphones, office workers, people driving to work etc,   Stern developed a mentality in a young generation of people and attracted perverts of all ages with his style of humour. He was taking the sarcastic style of the comics from the 70's and adding a much more foul, sensless and cruel type of humour. Laughing at death. He seemed to have an influence over comics regarding their practices. Don Rickles in the early 60's would perhaps point out a lady in the audience stating she looked like an old beaver in heat. Or as being Jewish himself and picking on Jewish men in the audience telling  that they had a hook nose sucking up their lip.

He was shocking and daring and most people would make a point of getting loaded just to see this guy put people on the spot. Stern adapted this routine in some ways....however, he was more childlike and foul. Stern had this attitude like......Who cares what we laugh at....rape, death, etc. He influenced a huge percentage of the youth and helped people along to feeling gratified by this crap.
With Rickles, all you had to do was look at his face to laugh. But, with Stern there was this air of resentment and anger in the humour. I started noticing comics at the Comedy Club in Atlantic City copping his role. Oh well, sorry to go off thread . 

One of the "funny" things i use in a joke, is to say, that i wanted to have my mother and father for xmas dinner.....but the council wouldn't let me dig them up.

Funny....not for some...but i enjoy the darker side of humour...the close to the knuckle type..........but as i said humour is a personal taste.

Humour keeps me alive..i have seen the eyes of death, but managed to avert it through no choosing of my own.......no it wasn't suicide...................................just a bad decision that would've ended my life.........i was in primary school at the time.

So humour is my way of saying i'm alive...regardless how tasteless and upseting it may seem to others......................enjoy.
