Millennials and snowflakes have murdered humor. It's a dead medium.
Why don't you see comedians playing colleges anymore? Because they can't. Because we have a generation of younger people who have been trained their entire lives to be offended about something.
OR it’s just offensive ? ??

I.e. why was hellen Keller’s leg yellow?
Her dog was blind too.

You cannot control others’ sense of humor. If they think it’s funny, scolding them is not going to stop them from finding it amusing.
My mom always says “you either laugh or you cry”. I choose to laugh.

Uh, you get that some people have relatives who DIDN’T survive, who may feel differently?
So because of that no one can tell the jokes? Even if some find them funny?
There are different kinds of humor. Jokes about the Holocaust or some other very serious event aren't haha funny jokes, they are usually examples of very dry, dark wit. You have to be a dry wit person with a twisted sense of humor to get them. They definitely are not for everyone. People who work in prisons or psych wards also often have similar very dark, dry wit jokes that you only tell to other people who will get it.
So who "gets" Holocaust jokes? Just curious.
The Ricky Gervais of the world. Other people with dark, witty, dry senses of humor. It is the same with jokes about 9/11 or anything that is horrific. It isn't the event that is funny, it is the wittiness of the joke and the ability of the joke teller to make it comedic.
With so much build up, this joke better be amazing ... if there even is a joke.
To the PPs. In my family, we have an uncle. His whole immediate family was rounded up and they were taken to Auschwitz. They were separated. He never saw the rest of his family again. His brother? He was shot in front of him. He survived. He's so traumatized that, all these years later and writing a book about it, he will never get over it. He was the last man/kid standing in his family.
Wanna tell this joke to my uncle? Do you think he would find it funny? If you can't tell it to his face, don't tell this "joke." And F you for thinking it would be OK to tell it behind his back.
What is honestly the matter with you people? THERE IS NOTHING G-DAMN FUNNY ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST. FULL F-ING STOP. I have a sense of humor, but I'm a human being who finds all of you defending this absolutely abhorrent.
It gotta be exhausting being around you. So much drama
+1. Nobody’s going to tell this joke to your uncle, unless your 90-something uncle is on DCUM. Are we good now?
Maybe you’re thrown by the “joke” moniker. But it’s really an existential statement that you apparently didn’t understand..
