Wow that was bad.
There were no funny jokes. Or jokes, really.
And the worst parts were where he laughed, because he has a really annoying laugh. Also, you press the space bar in between words, not at the end of sentences /literal asshattery.

Meme.

 

[Orion Crystal Ice]

Meme-theorists contend that memes evolve by natural selection (in a manner similar to that of biological evolution) through the processes of variation, mutation, competition, and inheritance influencing an individual entity's reproductive success. Memes spread through the behaviors that they generate in their hosts. Memes that propagate less prolifically may become extinct, while others may survive, spread, and (for better or for worse) mutate. Theorists point out that memes which replicate the most effectively spread best, and some memes may replicate effectively even when they prove detrimental to the welfare of their hosts.

You don't know who Avery Johnson is? WTF You fail as a sports fan bra.

I hate basketball.

David Cross is awesome.
He's more or less the only stand-up comedian I know who's any good right now, so...yeah. David Cross.

I have his Showtime special i believe. Its a great special to watch while stoned.

He just said "I'm obeying the rules of the road" and waved his arms and people laughed.
This was 10 seconds in.
I don't want to watch further.

Why did you tune in in the first place. Dane Cook blows massive amounts of cock.

There's a video. It was made as a joke.
There was then a joke of the joke.

Laughter is an involuntary and amoral action. Don't be fucking ridiculous.

Then why give me 'permission' to find it funny?

I didn't find it amusing because it's "naughty racist humour," I just thought that it was an amusing portrayal of the former president.

I think given the lameness of the joke and your subsequent comments, my assumption was entirely justified. That you found it in any way amusing is alarming tbh.

I suggest you read Ted Cohen's Jokes to retrieve a better grasp on how jokes and laughter actually work, since apparently you require help in understanding it.

I suggest you have a read up on double standards, since apparently you require help in understanding them. Apparently it's ok for you to assume that I didn't find the joke funny purely because of the racist content, but if assume that you liked the joke purely because of the racist content I get a condescending book recommendation.

Because people tend to "feel bad" if they laugh at something they don't like.

This is completely fucking asinine, and to be honest, I'm surprised you would say something this ridiculous.

I suggest you have a read up on double standards, since apparently you require help in understanding them.

Where exactly is the double standard?

Apparently it's ok for you to assume that I didn't find the joke funny purely because of the racist content, but if assume that you liked the joke purely because of the racist content I get a condescending book recommendation.

Given your reaction to the picture, it seemed rather obvious. You apparently are of the belief that one has to either be stupid or racist to find such a picture funny.

This is actually completely ridiculous. What an absurd overreaction to a picture over the internet. Yet I'm going to explain why the picture amused me anyway, in spite of not being stupid nor racist, which seemingly shatters your world view.

Within the context of the picture and without regard to who created the picture, who brought the picture to my attention, and what the intention was of creating the picture, I found it funny because to me, it represented an amusing caricature of Bush, painting him probably as how you already see him, somebody who's laid back and unserious and possibly racist, not to mention a simpleton. Like any racist character in a play or a novel or a movie, I judge their comments within the context of the work, and not within the context of how I feel about what they're saying. This was an attempt to portray a racist simpleton and the reaction from Obama to this simpleton, and that's exactly what the picture did. That I should feel bad or that you should feel that there's something wrong with me because I found it funny is profoundly ridiculous. Maybe you are more sensitive to such things as portrayals of racism and sexism and things of that nature as I am, but that has no correlation to actual feelings on actual examples of these things, let alone correlation to intelligence.

I really don't know how to make it any clearer to you that a person laughing at a picture such as that doesn't mean that there's something defective with that person, but if you still think that, then I really don't know what to say or do other than to just ignore you when it comes to sensitive humor.
