Using "LOL u almost died" and passing it off a routine is just lazy.
Look at Jeselnik for mastery of the art of dark humor:
(On the day of the Boston Marathon bombing) "Today there are some lines that shouldn't be crossed.
Especially the finish line."
I think I'm only going to reply to you because somehow I think you're the only one that replied to me with content.
My post wasn't an attempt at being funny, far from it but sadly this is what kept the attention of most.
So yep. I think you re right. Lazy humour us lazy humour. Still some can find it funny. Some will not.
And this is where I think it's difficult to set a hard limit. Good witty dark humour is good. Bad lazy dark humour is bad.
But it's not because death is the topic. It's because it's just bad and lazy. And the bar is at different level for everyone and at different point in time too.
So when users get angry and their only complaint is about the topic itself and not the delivery, then I don't agree. Add a little more arguments to the reply and I would very likely be fine, but a simple 'you're fucked up' doesn't really does it for me
It doesn't concern most users from this thread. Heck it's probably a minority. But enough that at some point I wanted to post.
Sorry if some got the message that I'm just here to lay down some bro joke. But I usually like to enter discussion by getting at people's feeling. I find that conversations where people can manage to be angry and still argument at the same time the most fruitful of conversations.
I think I'll continue to lurk here but not reply much.
