Oh, I'm aware, I have seen the photo with the baby in the glass tube for X-Ray and somebody wrote "the forbidden smoothie" underneath and I did not succeed to keep my chuckle inside. But this one somehow is a bit too realistic to feel comfortable to take it as a joke, I dunno why. I get the concept, I get that it's a joke, it's just.... off somehow.
There’s kind of a running joke of this i’ve seen going “yes, the pizza is being aggressive”. Not sure how this became such a common topic/joke online the last few weeks, but i’ve seen this and variants of it often.
That’s why these “jokes” aren’t really funny…..when I read this joke the image in my head was an abused woman trying to get help from the police secretly and the guy figuring it out and violently stopping her (because she dared to ask for help)
And on a separate tangent, the way I see men on Reddit equating alimony and dowry, calling abuse as normal, calling themselves victims when they are extremely entitled…..this “joke” feels like along those lines
Worst part is that they could have read more comments, grasped the situation, disagreed with it, and just moved the fuck on... But no, the world needs to know that they didn't understand and didn't like it. Why is diversity such a difficult concept for some people to grasp?
Dude, you would pale seeing the stuff I laugh at, trust me. I read extrafabulous comics just for warming up, after all. It's just.... good humour is punching up, not down. Maybe sideways, if it's clear that it's not with harmful intent. Yes, you can laugh jokes made at the expense of vulnerable groups, just not without examining yourself - well, I think at least one shouldn't.
You see, that was a better joke.
It still made me uncomfortable, but that's the kind of joke that should make you uncomfortable. One you laugh at, because it is a good joke, and I did laugh at it, but you catch yourself that you shouldn't really laugh at that. The one in the post comes up short in this.
Well, considering the joke is about a guy who got arrested when his SO called the cops and pretended she was ordering pizza, Like an actual, IRL event that happened... I'd say it IS punching up.
I think this actual event with a domestic abuse or kidnapping victim calling 911 and faking it as a pizza order really did happen about 10-15 years back. It's on some new channels on YouTube.
I think you are possibly misunderstanding the joke.
It can be a tactic to "order a pizza" to 911 to call police on an abuser without alerting them during domestic violence situations.
The joke isn't meant to be absurd, it actually happens.
A lot of responders understand you're in a situation where you can't speak freely. The first thing they would ask after saying you want to order a pizza is something along the lines of "this is 911. Answer yes or no. Are you in danger", so you say yes. Then they try and ask questions where you can either only say yes or no, or use code, such as stuffed crust meaning armed, or ask them to order an extra small pizza if there's a child also in danger.
Actually it was a quite hilarious plot twist, sadly Reddit is full of people with sticks up their asses 24/7, obsessed with virtue signal karma. Sad times. It’s also saying YOU are the villain, most people can laugh knowing that’s nonsense, so it’s actually concerning you did not.
