Does anyone find that racist jokes are usually the funniest?

I dont know about you, but I do. Maybe its because they are taboo or something. Maybe its the PC backlash...


Anyway, I have this half indian, half african friend and he has fresh material everyday. Whites, blacks, browns, jews, hispanics -- they're all on his list and dammit he's funny. As he likes to say, "I'm not racist, I'm equally bigotted towards all races!!!" LOL!!:D

Anyway, I won't repeat any of his jokes here (for obvious reasons, I hope you won't either), but does anyone else share these sentiments?

I tend to find dirty sex jokes to be the funniest. I haven't heard too many racist jokes so I guess I don't really count for anything :eek:

I think the more taboo a joke is, the funnier it tends to be, only because we shouldn't be laughing at it. And that feels pretty damned good. I love when my ethnicity (polish) is being made fun of, by the way.

Dick and fart jokes are pretty funny. Also, anything in a Kevin Smith film.

If you like Comedians that don't care what people think, and love to make fun of every race, check out Carlos Mencia. His CD "Take a Joke America" is hilarious. I swear nothing is taboo for Carlos.

racists jokes really are funny unless they are just in bad taste like cheap shots of a certain race being 'defendant' all the time or whatever

as long as the joke will make you think and it's not completed bias and totaly retarded it's probably funn

Archie Bunker makes the exceptioin though because he's just so funny, allow me to quote a conversation he had with Lionel (the young black guy):
Lionel: they are making improvements in medical procedures now, if you run short of blood you can just let somebody to lend you some
Archie: how do they make sure the donor is the same race as you?
Meathead (forgot his name): it doesn't matter archie, all blood of the same type is the same no matter what race
Archie: that's commi propoganda!
Lionel: i know Mr Bunker, well if got the blood of a black man, you might even turn black!
Archie: yeah we don't want none of that happenin

what a guy that archie! :)

I'm a white male, aged 18-50 (somehow that makes me the majority... ?), and I enjoy telling/hearing racist/sexist jokes too. I have friends of most races and both sexes, and wouldn't consider myself racist or sexist at all. Honestly, they're good for a laugh, and I don't think there's any harm in them if that's all they're for. I tell jokes about everything from white guys to black girls and everything in between. No big deal really, but sometimes you really have to watch who you tell them around, just to be safe.

If you like racial jokes, watch Chris Rock on HBO. He has a ton of good ones.

<< Yeah, they're pretty funny. Until your race is the one made fun of. >>



No, it's still funny when your race is the one being made fun of...maybe you're too "sensitive" :)

I dunno, but I find it funny when black comedians make fun of white folks (like me). Especially Chris Rock.. he has some good lines.

But imagine if someone like Seinfeld got up and started telling jokes about black folks on an HBO special. There'd be hell to pay.

Sadly, I think you're right...I don't recall any major white comedians doing that....its always minority ones that make the racist ones.
