[quote name='dcfox']So its funny if a baby seal gets killed but when its a human baby its wrong. What if I raised my baby seal as if it were human and my human baby as a baby seal then clubbed it to death, would it still be funny?[/quote]
when you say "so a seal walks into a club" it's funny because it's kind of offensive, but it's a play on the usual beginning to a joke where they say "so a guy walks into a bar". it takes a little more thought than the thing about dead babies in the back of a truck being removed by a pitch fork. i mean, how often does that happen? i'm guessing not very. i don't think there is anything morally wrong with making jokes about dead babies, i only think there is something morally wrong with making jokes about dead babies that make no sense and aren't funny.
anyways, i'm not very good with the "ask a question then give the punchline" type of jokes, i prefer one liner/story type jokes, so in light of this i'll post another one from dave attell, who is a funny guy:
so i go out to this bar, and i'm thinking she's alone, i'm alone, why not annoy the shit out of her? so i'm walking over to her, and i notice that she's got a black eye, she's got a shiner, and i'm thinking "great, she doesn't listen."
