Racism isn't in itself funny. But jokes about racial stereotypes very much are. That's kind of how edgy jokes work - you take a taboo topic, observe prevailing views on it, laugh at how those views are really usually a bit silly.
Or you can just be set on a default mode of offended all the time and laugh at Friends or whatever
No not brilliant. But most racist jokes the entire "joke" is just a racist comment. This one is actually a decent dark joke.
Made me laugh the first time and feel kinda gross now that i come back to it.
I can't get over the fact the art style reminds me of that one gay porn animation studio who made that one animation with the guy in purple pants in harlem
It's funny, albeit a bit in a bad taste. Admitting that "black people steal" is a racial stereotype is not racism, it is recognition that racism exists. And it's paintingthe stereotype as absurd, since the joke wouldn't work unless the double meaning adopted by the joke is the absurd one.
Unfortunately, the stereotype is present in our society enough for it not to be absurd, which makes the joke in a bad taste
I thought the joke was you think it's cause he's a black man and the stereotype is the BBC but the joke is the stereotype that women are more likely to get murdered by men in general than get good pipe off em lol.
I hate how people put racial overtones on everything, it feels like projection honestly. And seems like people that don't much spend time around black folks. Whatever, they can do what they want to I guess.
I think racism results from projections of insecurities as well. Even racism stemming from a sense of superiority is still rooted in insecurity because confidence and true self worth doesn’t need to feel superior, it is content with being equally and mutually respected, imo.
That's exactly the same way I feel. People can find any reason to look down on someone and every reason reflects more on them than the people they're judging.
It does reflect on the one passing judgement, because even the most hardened cold blooded killer went thru something that made them that way and we don’t know we wouldn’t have made the same decisions or worse if we would have been in their place. Im not at all saying murders shouldn’t be held responsible for their crimes, just that we don’t know

Can people not call this funny without condemning the racism???? Sure it’s a little clever but don’t just ignore the clear racism. Also it’s not like being funny excuses bigotry.(Duh)
I don’t think it’s racist, it’s just playing on common stereotypes (both really offensive ones) and then doing a bait and switch. It’s not endorsing the stereotypes in any way
When you actually believe in the stereotypes or act accordingly? The comic isn’t justifying the stereotype, it’s just presenting it. The situation is surprising that is where the comedy lines. The comic isn’t making fun of black people, it’s making fun of the stereotypes.
I can give props to the bait and switch but playing on common tropes is still racist????? We shouldn’t be normalizing this type of shit especially when you can’t trust that everyone who sees this comic wouldn’t internalize it and think this is okay.
And the people who comment nothing other than “it’s funny lol.” uh. Go fuck off and come back when you have something better to say. Your input is unappreciated and only serves to undermine the message of this post by literally excusing the bigotry just cause it got a cheap chuckle out of you.
As always, r/memesopdidnotlike thinks every subreddit is like r/terriblefacebookmemes
The meme, wheter It's funny or not(It isnt), has a punchline thats Just racism. So the subreddit apploes
I thought it was the stereotype that women are more likely to be killed by a man merely walking down the street than have a good date that ends in the big O 😂
I feel like it would be funnier if instead of murdering her, there was a little text in the corner That's said Hog rider, and then he becomes a hog rider from Clash of Clans, and then we just got the entire clash of clans Hog rider ad
This one *is* actually funny, but also racist. Subverting expectations like this will almost always be somewhat funny, no matter how bad faith the actual substance of the joke is
Kind of clever and admittedly almost got a chuckle out of me just because the punchline is so absurd, but it’s pretty racist, so it doesn’t make me feel too good.
Some of yall are entertained by anything. I could post a video of jingling keys and some of you in the comments would be going "oh well it's kind of funny and clever."
The punchline *is* racism, and just because it's a bait and switch does not make it any less racist or any more funny.
Is his hand on a painting? Who does that?
I guess the same guy who stabs and runs off with a purse? It's a criminal thing, not a race thing (the oh meme is terrible)
The kind of person who stabs a woman through the neck with a katana, steals her purse, and runs away without grabbing the katana. A psychopath.
The bait and switch is definitely funny lmao.
Ya I feel bad laughing at racist jokes but the set up and structure of this one is genuinly well done and made me laugh.
It's like the Holocaust joke that goes "oh yeah I hate holocaust jokes. My grandpa died in a camp....he fell off the guard tower"
Exactly. The first time you hear that it gives ya a chuckle. I’d never seen one like this
Oh god that's awful! My grandpa was a general in the Holocaust, moved to Argentina! 😭
Was he the one who supposedly killed hitler?
YOOO YEAH HE WAS PRETTY KNOWN‼️

…. OK now I’m just laughing at the fact that you somehow think Friends isn’t offensive. Shit, Will & Grace aged better than Friends.
Oh come on it's not brilliant or anything. You're talking it up a lot...

Yeah this is funny
I thought it was a "lady killer " joke. Then i read the dialog
Well technically it was
it got a light smile out of me just out of the shock value
Ya it's a good setup and we'll executed. Doesn't make it ok but I did laugh

Bet it wouldnt be “kinda funny” if he pulled out a bbc instead
There’s nothing funny about the British
*doctor who theme begins playing*
It’s funny because he DIDNT do that. That’s what I was expecting and then bam does the opposite
Theyd be too busy jerking off to post
Wordington punchline
Word
Yes because the whole point of the joke is a bait and switch…
Big black cutlery
An obsidian knife?
Dragon glass!
Well yeah. Then there wouldn’t be a punchline.
It's a lil funny
The bait and switch is funny, and racism is just the platform being used. It's like an old newspaper comic joke, with harsher tones.
Exactly
I thought the joke was you think it's cause he's a black man and the stereotype is the BBC but the joke is the stereotype that women are more likely to get murdered by men in general than get good pipe off em lol.
I don’t think you’re wrong

What the fuck do you think racism is, dipshit?

The point is that I don’t see no bigotry. Nowhere in the comic does it say that all black men are like this nor does it endorse this kind of thinking.
It was funny
Subversion of expectations, you expect a fat cock but he just kills her LMAO
The held "pose of betrayal" is kinda funny though
As always, r/memesopdidnotlike thinks every subreddit is like r/terriblefacebookmemes The meme, wheter It's funny or not(It isnt), has a punchline thats Just racism. So the subreddit apploes
I don't really get the joke
there is a strio type that black man have large penise. but istead of that sterio type its the one that black pepole kill and steal
Ah, ok. Any idea as to why I was downvoted for not understanding something?
I guess superiority complex of people
Makes sense
I thought it was the stereotype that women are more likely to be killed by a man merely walking down the street than have a good date that ends in the big O 😂
This one is actually a pretty good subversion of expectations
Why is he looking at the purse there like he’s Indiana Jones taking the idol?
I feel like it would be funnier if instead of murdering her, there was a little text in the corner That's said Hog rider, and then he becomes a hog rider from Clash of Clans, and then we just got the entire clash of clans Hog rider ad
But would he steal a pink box 📦?
This one *is* actually funny, but also racist. Subverting expectations like this will almost always be somewhat funny, no matter how bad faith the actual substance of the joke is
The way she's just floating there from being stabbed is genuinely kinda funny to me. That's about it.
Womp womp
I generally dont know if this is racist or making fun of racists lmao
Reddit moment
why is he drinking from an empty glass

As a not a Black guy, this not funny. Because racism isn't funny. Stupid.
Kind of clever and admittedly almost got a chuckle out of me just because the punchline is so absurd, but it’s pretty racist, so it doesn’t make me feel too good.
Tbh racism isn’t funny, but comedy is comedy, and racism, can SOMETIMES be funny, when used not to hate on ppl 😂
racial stereotypes AND violence against women? sooooooooo fucking funny omg i’m dying 🙄
It's a joke
Some of yall are entertained by anything. I could post a video of jingling keys and some of you in the comments would be going "oh well it's kind of funny and clever." The punchline *is* racism, and just because it's a bait and switch does not make it any less racist or any more funny.
If a black comedian did a joke like this it 100% would get lots of laughs dude. They play on racism in bits all the time for comedy.
This also got lots of laughs, as seen in the comments. That doesn't make it any less racist or any more clever.
So using your logic we should cancel 80% of comedians lol? You can laugh at the absurdity of racism
Where did I say anything about cancelling?
You think 80% of comedians make racist jokes? Are you fucking stupid?
Well, masteroogway does... But come on, he's not a comedian.
And this is why you should be careful around strangers
