  Appropriate and Inappropriate Humor Penned by: Misha Evgrafov — PhD/Boy of Destiny Appropriate and inappropriate humor depends on the person or group you are with. There are many jokes you can make, some more racy than others, but all will probably get you some dissapproval from your peers. For example, when you are with a blonde specimen of the female species, it wouldn’t be appropriate to make a dumb blonde joke because the other party might, and probably will get offended. On the other hand, if you are with a disrespectful booze hound (he will remain nameless) then a dumb blonde joke is a very, very good thing to ease up your conversation, or make Matt laugh.
So, as you can see, the sex of your partner or group matters immensely. Appropriate and inappropriate humor depends on the timing of your joke. For example, if you are talking to your friend about the death of his mother, a comment making fun of his mother, like “Your mothers so fat, when she stepped on the bathroom scale it showed her phone number!” probably is inappropriate (unless of course he/she hated his/her mother, but that’s a different topic). On the other hand, when someone insults you, and if you have to retaliate, it is very appropriate, and even polite, to insult his mother by saying something like “Your mother is so dumb, she stood on a chair to raise her IQ!” Also, when in class or at a formal event of some sort, it is unwise and inappropriate to make fun of, and comment on words (whether they be in English, or some other language) like “annis” (L.), “but” (E.), “concubine” and “aspect” (both E.).
“But, but, but, but, I like to make fun of words!” you say? Well don’t, because it will lead to being kicked out of class, and you can take my word for it because I am an expert at this sort of thing.
Appropriate and inappropriate humor depends on the type of humor that it is. For example, dirty jokes, (which there will be no example of), racist jokes, (ditto), homophobic jokes, (SAA), and especially anti-Semitic jokes, (nope), are very inappropriate in most branches of the society. If you make an anti-Semitic joke in public, especially when there are Jews around, you will probably get the snot kicked out of you. If you make a homosexual joke, you will probably get the snot kicked out of you. If you make a racist joke, you will DEFINITELY get the S**T kicked out of you. Dirty jokes, however depend on the crowd you are with, (refer to p.1) and will sometimes get a few looks, sometimes a few offensive comments towards your mother (refer to p.2), but will mostly get laughs, especially if its funny.
Appropriate and inappropriate humor depends on how funny the joke is. If the joke is sidesplittingly funny, then chances are, most people will get a stitch from laughing to much, and will forget about how offensive the joke might have been. But if its not funny at all, or barely funny, you will probably get a few insults thrown your way for having no sense of humor, and for being a tremendous dumbass. * *Notice how the essay ends with DUMBASS.....
