DeadBabyComedy

I really dig 9/11 jokes. But i think it's mostly because i don't give a fuck.

I remember an instance this past 9/11 when someone posted a facebook status that was a text image of a plane flying towards two black rectangles. Another person came in and started deriding the poster for disrespect (I agreed with him, it was disrespectful). The poster basically said, "This is no worse than your dead-baby comedy!" And suddely the derider said, "That's hypothetical. Meanwhile, you're shitting on 3,000 graves." Even Evil Has Standards.

Whilst discussing our various origins from different countries, this troper's very Israeli and Jewish friend mentioned that she believes she comes from all of the countries in Europe, except maybe ''Germany''. This troper burst out laughing. She said something along the lines of "That's so darkly funny....I'm sorry.... that's just awful....I mean... you get it?....". This troper's friend responded "I got it". And this troper continued "You see why that's so sad... man, that's funny in a darkly ironic way...". This troper's friend then continued with "I might not be from ''Austria'', either". She was serious.
Hilarity ensued.

When we play DungeonsAndDragons (4E), a common way of incapacitating an an opponent is to use the Wizard's utility power: Illusionary Wall (we use some creative rules interpretation to get a lot of use out of it). We joke about calling it "the quiet room". And then we talk about using Phantasmal Horror (we're too low level to actually use it in game), a spell that involves attacking the creature's psyche using its nightmares, calling it "Uncle Billy", a generic name for a
pedophillic relative. We often state how
we're horrible people.

This troper's usage of literal dead baby jokes (more accurately, the euphenism "punch a baby" for expressing frustration) is the primary reason his first girlfriend dumped him, funnily enough. Especially odd considering this girl spent her days giggling at /b/. Hm.
#32033
Many of my friends make dead baby jokes such as "If we get this right, maybe I won't kill a baby," or "Peanut butter is baby toes."
#32034
This troper has started making them about ghosts and mummies in ''TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap'', because of their...profoundly disturbing attacks. ("Look out, Link! Dead paedophile!")
#32035
This troper often makes quips about turning aborted fetuses into oatmeal...yet he still hates 911 jokes.
#32036
I ''really'' shouldn't have laughed at this line in the Main/LilWayne page, but... #QUOTE#NearDeathExperience: Accidentally shot himself when he was twelve.
#32037
This troper spent most of seminar last year finding ways to connect dead babies to the current discussion. #QUOTE#'''Friend:''' All he did was make dead baby jokes. #QUOTE#'''Me:''' I did not make dead baby jokes!
I made dead baby relevant points!
#32038
Lately, this troper can't seem to stop thinking about wildly inappropriate songs to
play at a funeral. The songs listed on the ClusterFBomb trope are some definite winners!

An classmate of this troper's spent a lunch period and the following class period stringing dead baby jokes together. Most of them didn't make sense, but the ones that did were awful. One went something like, "How many dead babies does it take to stop a car?" "As many as it takes to make a speed bump!" It was very disturbing.

As my humor primarily consists of this and pretending to be either a
CloudcuckooLander or
Ax Crazy I make a lot of this sort of jokes. One that I keep coming back too is the following practical joke. Assume that I die over +40 years of natural causes and that mp3 player, GPS and battery technology have sufficiently miniaturized. In that case, I would swallow a mini GPS connected to an mini mp3 player just before I die. The GPS would activate the mp3 player when my body reaches my grave. For the moment I'm in favor of 'Join me in Death' of HIM (at volume
UpToEleven off course) (suggestions for other songs are welcome).

I work in retail and become good friends with one of the guys who works in the men's apparel apartment; we just have a lot in common. Apparently, that includes humor, because one of the section manager, who was pregnant at the time, was being rather rude to him (well more so than usual; the workers have a very dysfunctional relationship with the current management staff...). He (only jokingly) confided in me that he wanted to "Punch her so hard in the stomach that she gave birth on the spot! Just punch the baby out of her!"
I said that was the most awful thing he ever said to me, ever and laughed along with him for about two minutes straight.

This tropers umm… ''friend'', pull a literal example when we were talking about what we would wear to a 'bad taste party'. while the hostess had intended for a poor taste in ''
fashion'', said friend said it would be funny if she spatted red paint on her thighs, stuck a doll between her legs and go as a
later term abortion. I admit that i found the idea funny as hell until
she went and actually did it.
#32043
My God...I think I'm in love.

This troper was watching a documentary at school about polar bears, and the narrator said, in the most absurdly melodramatic voice ''ever'' "By the end of the year, over half of all of the cubs will perish." cue uncontrollable laughter from almost everyone in the room.

This troper has a friend who used to make dead baby jokes. It was rather annoying, because he had some strange (and seemingly arbitrary) means of determining what you could make jokes about. Dead babies, abortions, genocide, rape, murder, etc. were all fine. Jokes about 9/11, pedophillia and quasi-racist topics (only racist against black people, though) were, for some reason, horrendously wrong. He claimed EvenEvilHasStandards, but it came across more as hypocritical.
#32046
This troper had a friend in high school who was told she wouldn't live past forty. I couldn't help but think of jokes involving her having her mid life crisis.
#32047
This troper's favourite brand of humour. He has a friend who's that way too. Needless to say, conversations between us two tend to sound offensive.
#32048
This troper knew a girl in school, who was a mother of a kid, who regularily made that sort of jokes.

This troper makes these jokes all the time, thanks to my being sociopathic (I don't feel guilt), being the OnlySaneMan who points out the ridiculousness of so many CloudCuckooLander moments, and being a DeadpanSnarker. But, seriously, this is all subjective. I mean, I snicker when parents talk about how sad they are their kids did drugs, and want to save us all from the evils of drugs. Why? Basically, because I'm thinking to myself "Yeah, I'd be sad too if I learned my kid was stupid enough to willingly inject and eventually kill himself with what is basically poison.". Yes, yes, I'm evil, I'm going to hell
like ''that'' exists, I know. But don't worry,
I'll save you a seat! And a joke I made, before I go: #QUOTE#What gets louder, as it gets smaller? #QUOTE#
kitten in a trash compactor!(Yes, I '''hate''' cats.)
#32050
At least it wasn't a baby.
#32053
This troper loves this comedy, so much so I surprise myself. Like the time I drew a character running over orphans...who it made orphans of in the first place. It just came back to finish the job.

Posted by a friend of mine at a private forum, regarding the nuclear meltdowns in Japan: #QUOTE#Fortunately, we've helped the Japanese develop a tolerance for radiation.

This Troper's school was performing ByeByeBirdie, during a rehearsal, this exchange occurred: #QUOTE#Girl playing Kim: It's too late for cookies, Miss Alvarez! #QUOTE#Me: It's never too late for milk and cookies... unless, of course you have diabetes.

There was also this reaction to a skit I was a part of for my theatre class. Said skit involved a main character getting hit by a train. #QUOTE#Girl in class: I can't believe you left her to die. #QUOTE#Me: It was actually a plot to kill her. #QUOTE#Other student: Really? #QUOTE#Me: No, it just sounds like something I would do.
