Making stupid jokes all the time.

Post Reply New Topic

I feel the need to enliven my every communication with a joke or two. Unfortunately, most people take their lives and themselves a lot more seriously than I can. This results in much tension, either from me repressing my natural desire to crack wise, or from the other party thinking I'm an ass.

Who else suffers from this terrible affliction? What advice do you have? Stupid jokes welcome.

I make jokes all the time, even jokes that people just don't understand. Sometimes I just make them to myself to have a chance to take a breather from the stressful sides of the college life. I've gotten a lot better at not telling jokes at certain times, like when someone is in a serious emotional crisis for instance. I enjoy stupid jokes; I think that jokes in general enliven my day while helping other people put a smile on their face in the midst of stressful times. I think that the reason why so many people become depressed in life is because some do not laugh or just stop to enjoy life enough. I don't think it's an affliction; it's a blessing to yourself and those around you. I understand your pain; it sometimes feels as if people don't take me seriously when I want to be taken seriously, as if I only tell jokes all the time and that others do not think that I am going to be as successful, or whatever else you may think others are thinking. If you're doing great wherever you are while being happy and telling jokes, then I think that it's the other person's fault for thinking that you're an as*hole. It's not going to be their judgement or their call if you will succeed in life; there are so many things that you could do with your life. They aren't the keyholders to your success. If they're too serious to ever laugh then it's their own problem in my opinion. I also think that it's partially to do with our aspie side's black and white thinking tendancies, that we think we're either taken seriously or not seriously at all. It's difficult to find that gray area. If people were serious all the time, they would be miserable. If people were not serious all the time, they would not get as much stuff done. I think that there is a time to be serious and that there is a time to crack jokes.

eek, guilty

Sometimes when I don't know what to say I will say a joke. Usually no one else thinks it's funny though. I don't do this all the time.

I do tend to take jokes too far... I've seen people that are far worse, but the jokes about domestic violence in pardus chat didn't seem to get many laughs...

Yep, me too. Recent examples: comments about Easter being called "Cannibal Day" because that's when they took Jesus down from the cross and ate him, torturing a large cookie with a sharp instrument, lemon juice and salt when I'm really just dividing it up, and wanting to light my truck on fire or take a chainsaw to it when it dies. I just can't seem to keep this stuff repressed long enough!

I did but I was offending so many people that now I stop and think before I say anything.

I definitely joke too much. Even when I was laying half-dead in a hospital bed, my response was to crack a bunch of jokes about the situation, and it made me happy. Apparently, this is not the general reaction. I do not understand the idea of jokes ever being inappropriate, and it is one area that I've yet to learn, and doubt I ever will. Jokes are happy. If it makes one happy, how can it be wrong? I do not comprehend a need to be sad. That seems illogical. However, many people comment on how it is "not the time" for jokes.

Even when I was the half-dead one making the jokes, it still upset people! That's not only illogical, but unfair. It's my medical emergency, damn it! I'll make it funny if I so choose.

Moog, I understand. I make stupid jokes, mainly with the attempt to "enliven" the conversation, and I often take jokes too far like Apera. My main type of "joke" is sarcasm -- it's really easy for me to pull off, so I use it a lot. Too often. I've made jokes about such obvious things and people still wouldn't get them.

I remember I made a joke about a person's speech once. He said something and then quickly corrected himself, and I attempted to incorporate his mistake in a joke. He completely didn't get it (as if he didn't know he goofed up the first time). I wish I could remember the actual words; I still think I was being clever.

I cannot take anything seriously anymore--not in my everyday life, not in my school essays and assignments... I have learned to take things seriously at work. I avoid making stupid jokes with customers (no matter how "casual" the conversation is). My advice is to not make stupid jokes at work. Please.

EDIT: I concur with chaotik_lord. Jokes are happy! (But then, there is dark humor. That makes me laugh, but not everybody.)

I enjoy joking to be funny. I make people laugh and almost everyone thinks I'm funny. But sometimes my jokes are too hurtful and I don't even realize it. I have upset my husband several times already. The last one was about the miscarriage. I told him I should have them more often and he shouted "NO." I thought he would like it because I was very emotional and more NT because I expressed my feelings better. He said it was nice I was that way and wanting affection too. But no it upset him I joked about our dead child. He said he was over it but he said my joke brought the feelings back.

I do joke a lot, usually very dry sarcasm or bad puns. Oftentimes these jokes do go far over people's heads. I just don't get a lot of "dumb" humor, though. I still have no idea why Will Ferrell or Jim Carey movies are considered funny. (On the other hand, I love old Marx Brothers movies, the Simpsons, and Monty Python.)

I take nothing seriously.
Not even things that involve people dying.
If I can make it funny, I will.
Of course, then I have the anti-social opinion that if someone is offended it really is their own fault.
And it could impossibly be my fault.
I can not control or in any way anticipate their response, they should not blame me, it is unfair.

I've made a sexual joke about a submarine sandwich, at a work experience, 11 years ago. I've asked a woman, if it made her horny.
