This Troper, her sister, her mother, and her grandmother were on our way to a family reunion (and no one other than Grandma knew none of these distant relatives, so we weren't looking forward to this). On the way, my mother tells us about her friend/ex-boyfriend's grandfather's funeral, and about how his grandmother started screaming that he couldn't be dead and how she couldn't manage by herself. It was honestly one of the saddest things I've ever heard. My grandma waits quietly until she's done speaking, then this exchange occurs:

Grandma: So, have they decided what they'll do with...?

Mom: I think they're going to cremate him.

Grandma (cheerfully): Speaking or cremation, I HAVE A JOKE! :D

...and every one in the car burst into laughter.

My whole yeargroup just recently went to see a performance called 'Safe Drive, Stay Alive' that promoted...well...safe driving. The whole thing was ''heartbreaking'' and the majority of people were in tears the whole time. I, however, didn't shed a single tear, and it's all because of one moment. A man in a wheelchair with a speaking disability and one deformed leg '''who wheeled himself onto the stage by using his foot''' caused ''everyone'' to cry in hysterics. I had other things on my mind...

During his English class, this troper was watching the movie version of OfMiceAndMen. At the end, when shoots Lennie in the head, the person with the remote hit the "rewind five seconds button", replaying the scene. And then he did it again. And again. And ''again.'' Around the sixth time, everybody was laughing at what should be the saddest point of the movie.

"Headshot" was my classes' reaction to that scene.

My English class did the same thing... except without the rewinding.

Our film class did this with Bonnie and Clyde.

When my Advanced American Lit class discussed the novel, one girl said about that scene, "He deserved it, he was retarded." The class was so shocked that half of us just broke out in laughter.

Someone in my class tried something similar with ''LordOfTheFlies'', specifically rock crushing Piggy. It...didn't work.

This troper also saw 'Lord Of The Flies' in English class. Piggy's death caused the entire class, even the teacher, to break out in loud laughter.

Same with this troper. To be fair, she laughed too. That part of the (second) film was... not quite as good as the book.

I felt bad for Piggy. I know how it is being stuck being a rock and a hard place...

Our class had just reading the book and in biology we were dissecting fetal pigs. Despite that the pig head thing is supposed to be evil and shocking, we cut off a pig's head, put it on a yardstick, and paraded through the hallway to the English teacher's class. It was hilarious.

That's why I hate English classes.

A similar scenario occurred in a class whilst watching a film version of Macbeth; the scene in which beheads Macbeth towards the end of the play being rewound and replayed several times, namely due to the (obviously fake) head bouncing down a flight of stairs. And then up again, whilst rewinding.

When this troper watched Macbeth in English, the teacher warned two rather squeamish girls that they may not want to watch that part. Right before the beheading, this troper told them that it was OK to look now. Sadly, the other kids in the class laughing tipped them off that I was lying.

Honestly, that scene in the movie was so full of Narm anyways. Dramatic in the book play, not so much in the film.

That happened in my English class when we watched OBrotherWhereArtThou. When the guy shoot shoots the cows with the machine gun, my teacher said, "Oh! So Sad!" and the entire class burst into laughter.

I got that reaction from the same scene by yelling "Cheeseburger! Cheeseburger! No Coke, Pepsi!"

It happened to This Troper while we were reading RomeoAndJuliet in 9th grade English. The teacher decided to have volunteers act out the swordfight leading up to, and Mercutio's death, but the fight was so ham-handedly done and Mercutio was so full of {{Narm}} that the class was laughing uproariously by the end.

Are you in this tropers class? No seriously, that happened to this troper word by word (This troper was Mercutio, actually), this tropers name is Grant, are you in his class? Anyway, his class used paper swords and his kept falling apart, I improvised and just kept fighting diligently. Then collapsed in a dramtic narmy death...purposely into a garbage can.

My friend is going to perform an experiment. He is randomly going to shout out "DEAD PUPPIES!" when it's silent and see how many people laugh.

This troper was watching (thank God he wasn't participating) a class debate in middle school about euthanasia. Somebody suggested to the speaker that people can practice euthanasia on dummies (bad enough already, right?). But the speaker mishears it and says that people can ''practice it on puppies.''

Often I have laughing contests with my friends, and I fail horribly at them so I try to have a mantra of "Dead rotting puppies!" in my mind to keep me from laughing. Now I burst out in side splitting laughter at the thought or mention of the phrase.

Friend of mine posts on Facebook a photo of her husband, lying on the couch, with lots of puppies lying on him. Her comment: "These dogs are all alive." My comment: #QUOTE# "They are? Drats, I thought he liked to cover himself with dead puppies. I am disappoint."

This witnessed an entirely unfunny real life example at marching band practice one day a ''little kid'' got ran over in the parking lot by a guy named Paul and TheLibby laughed snidely and said, "Wow, Paul, I didn't know you hated kids so much. I know I do." As if Paul didn't feel awful enough for the accident which wasn't his fault (he was rounding a corner and the kid darted in front of them.

That's only crossing the line once. It's not crossing twice unless it actually becomes funny.

YMMV, I loled.

Did the kid survive though?

My friends and I were bored in class one day and decided to have a contest: who could think up the most offensive concept? Unfortunately, the first suggestion was "Columbine: The Musical" which meant that everyone else was laughing too hard to submit other entries.

That's it? 9/11: The Comedy.

Columbine: The Musical? I think I know you!

Similarly, in a round-table discussion of works that would make horrible musicals, this troper blurted out first (and entirely unthinking) "TriumphOfTheWill". I spent about five minutes hyperventilating in sheer horror that that had come out of my mouth... while everyone else was laughing hysterically. They're the sick ones. Not me. I swear.

I stifled my laughter whil reading this. Will I go to Hell?

Yes, and it'll be funny as hell.

Come on, we all know that it's only the matter of time before Disneyland whip out 9/11: The Thrill Ride.

I hummed "it's raining men" during the scene in Schindler's list when the soot and ashes fall down. I am going to hell.

I'm going to hell too because I laughed when I read that.

I now have the knowledge to make the most horrible YouTube video of all time. But I won't.

Don't worry. I've already thought of "You Dropped A Bomb on Me" played to GraveOfTheFireflies.

This Troper, who is not an antisemite (his best friend is a Russian Jew), was once asked to write a short play as part of a ''VampireTheRequiem'' campaign. The result? "The Judaeo-Marxist World Conspiracy: A Musical Interpretation", in which Marx, Engels and Lenin detail their plans to crush civilisation beneath the Jewish yoke in rhyming tetrameter.

Kind of a prequal to 'Spring-time for Hitler' No?

Jamaican Jokes in general. My favorite was a description of what can only be called the ultimate GroinAttack, delivered by a five-year-old girl.

Oh, come on. You can't just leave us hanging...

Srsly.

Alright. Condensed version. A Rastafarian guy was smoking weed, goes on a trip, and wakes up naked on a beach. He sees some kids walking toward him, and covers himself with a conveniently placed giant leaf. The boy just goes off on his business, but the girl was curious as to what was under the leaf. Rasta Guy, who didn't feel like destroying her innocence, says it's a bird, and the little girl walks away. Rasta Guy goes to sleep again, and wakes up in the hospital. He asks how he got here and... I should warn you that this spoiler hides the most horrible thing that any male could read. Pretty strong girl, too, I might add... #QUOTE#Girl'': I was playing with the bird, and it spat on me, so I ripped off its head, crushed the two eggs, and lit the nest on fire.

..........meep.

Ewww! Who the hell made up that one?

Doing a serious academic paper on PinkFlamingos, with discussion on exactly what tropes the movie 'turned over its knee and then proceed to paddle them so hard that the blunt force trauma displaces their tailbone and they begin to ''like it''' and 'performed lewd acts with it that involved at the very least coprophagia among other fetishes'. And yes, this troper said those things in the essay. She got an A for it.

This troper once called a three-year-old the "church bicycle." In front of her older sister. He survived.

This troper was once in a four-man contest to see who had developed the most disgusting acquired taste. ->'''Friend1''': My own semen. ->'''Friend2''': (can't answer, laughing too hard. He gives up) ->'''Me''': (Friend1's) semen. ->'''Friend3''': You win.

This limerick: #QUOTE#There once was a young girl called maddie, #QUOTE#her story it ended quite sadly, #QUOTE#snatched from her bed, #QUOTE#now probably dead, #QUOTE#raped by her own dear old daddy?

This joke: What's the difference between Madeline Mccann and Pope John Paul II? #QUOTE# The Pope died a virgin.

Thats the kind of joke my friend Chris likes, he posted that one on his facebook status, and the reaction was either "THAT IS SO SICK IM DISGUSTED IN YOU AND DELETING YOU FROM MY FRIENDS LIST!!!" to "LOL thats funny...Im going to hell for this"

I remember in 7th grade, in English class, we had to watch this movie called The Color of Friendship, I believe. There was a scene in which the main character is asked by one of the blind girls at the camp(everyone there at the camp is blind, excluding the helpers)"What does brown look like?" He couldn't answer, and I started laughing, because you can't really describr that, and the entire class laughed. We're going to hell.

At the midnight premiere of HP6, I had my friend shout "SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE!" When said thing occurred...he has been making comments the whole movie. He turns to me when Dumbly falls and whispers "Oooh, whatcha sa-a-ay~" I cracked up. I felt horrible. Also, with a different friend I watched Transformers 2 and Watchmen. Whenever someone died, we would go, "They'll be fine." Every. Single. Time.

Congratulations, whoever you are, you just made me laugh until I cried. The next time I watch Half-Blood Prince with my friends, I'm going to start singing that song when Dumbledore falls. Even if I'm all teary-eyed.

This Troper once sung "Mmm whatcha sa-a-ay~" while reading the scene in TheKillingJoke where Barbara Gordon is paralyzed. She can no longer read that part of the story without giggling.

We play Happy Holidays at our school. The goal is to say "Happy X!" with a straight face and make everyone else laugh. I won with "Happy 9/11!" ''after'' the other person said "Happy Virginia Tech Shooting Day!".

Planning to hold a Pearl Harbor Day memorial Battleship Tournament became a running joke among my high school friends and I. The hilarity continued when a girl in my class responded to "Happy Pearl Harbor Day!" with a deadpan (but joking) "My grandfather DIED there." We are all going to hell, I know.

A note to FanDumb or those in disguise: Invoking this trope is the one thing that elevates ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike from being irritating and petty to being hilarious. It's not easy, and it for the most part takes skill and finesse to pull off, as the point is that you're supposed to be so over-the-top about it that you end up looking like a parody rather than the actual thing even if your points are valid. Of course, it can happen unintentionally.

This troper and a friend once watched ''TheDarkKnight'' as a straight comedy. The pencil trick is ''hilarious''.

During one fateful high school lunch, my friends and I were discussing the crises in some African countires, as one is wont to do. A friend of mine mentioned the horrific act of State Sponsored rape, to which another friend responded with hysterical laughter. From that day forward every time I said "State Sponsored Rape" in a gravely voice he would crack up. Over time "Killing Black People" and other similarly themed terms would do the same. Other antics included a short-lived character named Supreme Allied Commander Date Rape, who is defeated by... simply refusing to date or accept drinks from him, and death threats via "Belt Sander to the Face".

This troper saw a piece of ... ahem, very explicit FanArt featuring Konata and Kagami. Among other things, it had Konata sporting one of her usual expressions while smoking a chocolate cornet. It was just plain wrong, yet I couldn't stand looking at it with a straight face.

In Hindsight, every Hentai flick with Konata becomes instantly hilarious.

I was forced to watch ''{{Saikano}}'' with a female friend. After holding in 13 episodes worth of snark, I asked in a whistful tone "Why can't I find a girl like that?"

This Troper was JUST DONE reading the page for CTLT in college when he went off to the bathroom, he overheard a few girls talking, and one of them -- quoting one of their acquaintances, said "...And if I get pregnant, I don't care I'll just get an abortion!"... "what." I had to do a Double Take for that one.

This Troper once played Apples To Apples and ended up with the adjective-noun combo "touchy-feely Vatican". One of the players (who was Catholic) looked utterly horrified, then burst out laughing. #QUOTE#''Catholic friend'': That just crossed the boundary of good taste and the boundary of bad taste right into the region of funny.

This troper commemorated the 11th anniversary of the {{Columbine}} High School massacre the only way he knew how... by plugging in ''GrandTheftAutoIV'', walking into Square Star Junction, and unloading a SawedOffShotgun on everyone around him. Then, after the cops killed him, he did it again in a subway station. And then in a park. And then in an Internet cafe.

9/11 happened when this troper was in fifth grade. Later that year, when we were doing geometry problems in pairs, my partner whispered, "When the plane crashed into the Pentagon, it became the Quadrilateral!" Well, let's just say he picked the right person to say it to. (It still makes me giggle a little...)

I don't know how it started, but during class, a friend and I started improvising about our animal molesting habits and our reasons for our choices. We realized that our schedules are the exact opposite: I molest wolves in the day and birds at night (wolves are vicious and the in the nighttime, even more so) and he molests birds in the day and wolves at night (after the first time, they're a little sleepy and aren't as volatile).

This troper has seen at least two good examples of this: one by himself, mocking an enemy of his which lost the tips of two fingers ("don't put your fingers where not asked!"), which some of his classmates simply loved - and a few jokes by his classmates involving a woman who killed herself in our college while we were having class. The troper also got serious laughter outta some really politically incorrect soccer ultra chants (such as one involving a player which had his mother kidnapped, which is hard to translate).

This troper and her friend were on our way to set up the school hall so everyone could watch the World Cup (Football is {{Serious Business}} where I come from) and we ended up in an exchange like so: ->'''Me''': My Grandad used to love football ->'''Friend''': What, He doesn't any more? ->'''Me'''(Casually): Nah, He's dead. I felt really bad for laughing after that one...

Well, since about half these entries are 9/11-related, why not one more? I'm posting this Troper Tale on September 12th, the day after my friend happened to be watching a movie channel (don't remember which one) that, probably through mere lack of forethought, had decided to add to the lineup...wait for it..."The Two Towers". ''Must...hide...giggle fit...''

When watching a news segment about a gunship firing at Reuters reporters with his family, this troper subconsciously hummed RideOfTheValkyries. I'm an atheist, but I'm so going to hell for that.

Another example from my middle school days, while preparing for a school trip: #QUOTE# '''Me:''' I don't think I'm bringing the blanket, it's too heavy. #QUOTE# '''Mom:''' What if you get cold? #QUOTE# '''Me:''' I guess I'll just have to go out and skin myself some locals, then.

My mother and I were talking about what would happen if someone broke in to here house over the summer. The answer is of course, they'd get hurt because she has a really big strong and fast dog, but I was tired so this little exchange ended up happening: ->'''Mom:''' No one's going to break in anyway. We're by a sawmill in the middle of nowhere. ->'''Me:''' Yeah, if anyone breaks in we'll take them to the sawmill (cue laughter from us both)

This Troper's friend has complied an ever changing LIST of the line crossing things I've said, but his friends have elected this as the topper, while playing Wii Golf ->'''Me:''' Stoke four....just like my grandpa. -> My grandpa had died not a week before, and all of them had attended the funeral. All of them where on the floor laughing.

We're particularly fond of these in my family. Three favorites: #QUOTE#Ah, MichaelJackson. It's sad to see him go, he was a beautiful white woman.\\ Six out of seven people approve of gang rape.\\ Why are there no jokes about the Jonestown Massacre? Because the punchlines are too long!

Scary thing is, you wanna know who taught me all three of them? mother.

An excerpt from the profile of a Wiki I edit as "The Mad Butcher Of Insert Country Here:" #QUOTE#Hello, you've reached The Mad Butcher of (insert country here). Between my crazed murdering sprees in [DATA EXPUNGED] (a very pretty city, you should go there) my bi-weekly prostitute garottings in [CONFIDENTIAL], my weekly jog/decapitation out in the pretty town of [REDACTED], and my longtime favorite hobby, [OH DEAR GOD NO WE HAVE STANDARDS] out in scenic [CENSORED TO PRESERVE SANITY]...

A personal favorite of mine: #QUOTE#What did Cinderella say when she got to the ball?\\ (choking noises)

I once got a few laughs (and made a returns clerk at the record shop smile) after describing a malfunctioning CD as "skips like a crack-addicted schoolgirl."

Someone once told me that he liked to scratch swastikas on pennies then throw them onto the street in the hopes that Jews will pick them up.

A terrible idea that just came to mind while looking at the page for MemeticMutation. (Along the Lines of the IT Crowd's "You Wouldn't Steal a Handbag" bit) #QUOTE# Voice Over: You wouldn't set a cat fire. You wouldn't then video tape it and put it on the internet set to Doom Music. You wouldn't then take that cat and grind it up. You wouldn't take that ground up cat meat and make a patty out of it! You wouldn't then grill that patty of ground up cat meat on the barbeque! You wouldn't put the cat patty on a bun with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles! And then use it as bait for more cats! And then post pictures online saying "Yes you can haz cheezburger now!"

This Troper once did that with TheKillingJoke and {{Pokemon}}... and told it to a bunch of her Batman-fan friends. The laughter that followed lasted at least ten minutes. #QUOTE# "A Wild Joker Appeared! Barbara, I choose you! Joker used Gun! Barbara is paralyzed! She may not be able to move!"

This troper once said, of a rather ugly guy who tried to hit on a friend of his at a bar, "He looks like a half-digested fetus". Two of his friends snorted their pints out through their noses. He's still proud of that.

This troper isn't sure if this exactly fits this trope, (correct her if shes wrong), anyways she was in the middle of a game of apples to apples when someone put the cards Hiroshima/Nagasaki and something like fiery or hot together. There was complete silence for a moment when everyone realized that one player was Japanese. One person was all "dude isn't that kinda offensive" but the girl who was japanese turned out to be the one to put it down.

You will probably hate me for this, but around 9/11 (in 2010) I got bored and built a poor model of the twin towers with blocks, and asked my brother to guess what it was. He gave up and I told him what it was supposed to be. His response: "That's not a good model of the twin towers... allow me". Cue him tossing his wallet in an arc at the blocks so that it divebombs into them and it crumbles. We had a good, uncomfortable ten minute laugh. Yes, I have a fucked up sense of humor, and I'm sorry.

Am I the only one who enjoys grossing people out with dead baby jokes, getting the "oh my god we/you/I am going to hell" from literally dozens of people never fails to amuse me, starting slow and progressing to truly shocking stuff, the best is when me and 4 other people got in a circle in the middle of a cafeteria (dressed in professional attire no less...it was a debate tournament, it's how we roll for some reason) nearly screaming these at each other, the reaction of the onlookers was classic.

Nope, I love it too.

I used a dead baby joke in geometry to help a student understand rotations: "How do you get a baby to crawl in a circle? ... Nail one hand to the floor." Cue the entire class laughing so hard they can't breathe. My teacher's response? "Thats... horrible!" while trying to hold back her laughter. The look on her face is what really sold it as a CrowningMomentOfFunny, especially since absolutely no one in the room, not even the class clowns, had ever told a joke that dark, and no one dared to match it. Probably the only reason I was not punished at all was that before that point everybody had thought I was a serious student who was mildly rude on occasion to certain unliked people, and it came out of gorramn '''nowhere'''.

In this troper's drama class, I met this amazing person whose name shall not be said here to keep his identity anonymous. Anyways, I realized how crazily funny this person was on the first day of this class when we had to do an exercise involving building cardhouses (which is supposed to metaphorically represent building a play's atmosphere together) and then connecting those cardhouses together. Note that each of us could make whatever shape or building we wanted out of cards. When the activity started, the person being talked about looked around the classroom, grabbed some cards, and then said "Is anyone here Jewish? Because if not, I'm building Auschwitz." The class erupted in laughter for at least five minutes before we could finally settle down and get to work on the activity.

The day after earthquake and tsunami hits Japan, i plan to play in my weekend... well, DisasterDayOfCrisis, of course!

Continued in the evening with multiplayer game of {{Quake}}.

This Tropers cat gave the finger while it was being buried. Keep in mind it was dead.

This Troper was reading {{Othello}}, he read Iago's "Drown cats and blind blind puppies line." This exchange followed

Me: "Drown cats and blind puppies?"

Teacher: Yes.

Me: Oh well, I'm worse.

Teacher: How?

Me: I killed Bambi's mother.

(LeGasp from classroom)

Me: ...And Mufasa.

(Class laughs.)

This troper's classroom has always had tendency to do this. Just today, this exchange:

teacher: If anyone interrupts this class, it better be a life or death situation!

Charlie: If someone's dieing of cancer and they burst into the class and die, does that count?

Also, there will be jokes throughout any historical video. Any at all, subject matter be damned.
