What do you think of a person who says the wildest things but then always claims it was just a joke?

[sheikalana]

I think we've all experienced this or met someone like this at some point in our lives. A person who says offensive things, makes disrespectful comments, makes inappropriate jokes but then when everyone is upset at them they always come up with an excuse and says things like "it was just a joke" "I was joking" "you guys have no sense of humor" and never apologize. I personally see this as a very toxic behavior but I don't know what to call this person. What's the best way to deal with someone like this? How would you confront them?

That's very ugly passive-aggressive behavior. You say "That wasn't funny in any way, it was ugly." If it continues you decide if you want to continue joining activities where they will be present. It's perfectly reasonable to ask "Is X going to be there?" Then say "I'm sorry, but I would rather not be around them."

The Schroedinger's Joker. Will say offensive things, will claim it's just a joke when you get upset.

Just claim it's not funny, and watch them squirm.

Their aim is never to amuse with the joke it is always to offend. Simply cut ties with him

[sheikalana]

It’s very toxic.

Sensationalist.
Wanting to have all the attention but not caring enough to put his money where his mouth is.

I used to hangout, but now I know to get the heck away from that person. People like that are bad news and they WILL hurt your reputation.
