Sponge bob is for kids
Sarah silverman has a wierd unfunny sense of humor
zoey101 is for pre teen girls

If something actually has an amount of lulz in it, I can laugh at it.

If it's racist, sexist, or anything else, I can laugh at it.

It's sensitive pricks who can't learn to take a joke, and those who take them seriously that created censorship.


Godly sig made by Xports. Praise to him.

as long as it's funny and not offensive for the sake of offensive i believe humor should be free.

I can laugh at anything as long as it's true and the joke is written well.

Go away you shithead n00b. you don't even know how to use NG BBS.
you retarded. Who's with me?

Obviously someone who has posted things on the Newgrounds BBS over 3,000 times has not idea how to use it. Yeah. Nice logic there buddy.

Also, I believe that it's up to the one telling the joke to have limits or not. And even if I thought there should be limits, it wouldn't change too any people's minds.

Humor is one of the most popular and most effective ways to deal with depressing issues and tragedies. The wrong joke may seem offensive to those who have not yet moved on in regards to the topic, but for the rest of us, it's holding together our sanity by making us laugh instead of crying or raging.

So no, I don't think comedy should have limits. If someone is truly offended by a joke, they don't have to continue to listen to the person telling it.

I'm not going to laugh at anything and some stuff is probably only oging to find a small audience of people who would enjoy it.

But I'm against censorship from anyone other than those listening to the joke.

Even if this was a spam topic, you should let mods take care of it. You can get banned for posting in spams,and for backseat modding. And who says it's a noob topic? It's a well thought out topic with a point. Now, as for my opinion. No, humor should not have limits.

I make jokes about terrorist incidents because most of the time they're out of line. I fund them funny, no matter how offensive they are and I don't give a fuck about anybody's sensitivities.

As a person, I can laugh at any kind of joke based off of any subject.

I don't get offended any more because I realize that being offended serves no purpose but you make you feel pissed off about something that really doesn't matter anyway.

Some people make jokes about offensive subjects to help them forget about how they feel about that subject and that's fine with me. For example, I make jokes about the genocide in Darfur not because I'm an asshole and I don't care, but because I don't like to dwell on shit that's really out of my hands.

The next time that someone makes a joke about something, stop and think about the joke from their point of view and then you might see why they did it.


I'm gonna go back to my room and be awesome.

Everyone has different limits on comedy. But their shouldn't be a standard limit, nobody or nothing is safe from being made fun of. If there were limits then there would be no satire.

Somethings you have to wait to make jokes about, if nothing else but so you don't get your head beaten in, but eventually everything will get laughed at and will be funny.

I'd say it depends on how its presented. Almost anything can be made funny with the proper presentation.
