Would you find a joke about murder to be funny?

[Anonymous]

So I am chatting with a guy online. He made a joke about murder. Than told me I need to lighten up. Does anyone actually find this funny or somewhat mentally ill?

It depends on context and if it was just about murder and not say racial motivated murder etc.

What's the difference between cigarettes and Eastern European murderers? You can only bring 200 cigarettes into the UK before the authorities start asking questions!

Anyone else suspicious of early morning joggers and dog walkers... they always seem to find the bodies..

I was watching the racing on Channel 4 earlier. "And Number 7 has fallen quite badly at the last hurdle! It looks like he's maybe broken a leg. They're assessing him right now... oh, and what a shame, they've had to shoot him." They don't fuck about in North Korean athletics.

A maniac is on the loose after stabbing 6 people with a knitting needle... early reports from the police suggest he is following some kind of pattern

09:51 Arrive at the crime scene.
09:51 Find murder victim.
09:51 Cordon off the area.
09:51 Start searching for murder weapon.
09:51 Realise watch has stopped.

Thirty years ago I murdered both of my parents in a fit of rage. I then slaughtered both of my sisters and my brother. Before I calmed down, I visited all my friends and killed each and every one of them. It was a terrible episode in my life and I regret it now more than ever.
I get released tomorrow and there's no one to pick me up…

"I think I'm a psycho," I said to the doc, "I like men's willies." He smiled and winked at me, "I like them too." "Oh good," I replied, "do you want to come see my collection."

As I pointed the gun in my wife's face I said, "Any last words?" Three hours later, I shot her.

They say everyone has their fifteen minutes of fame. Well I've not had mine yet but I suspect I'll get it tomorrow when the police dig my garden up.

If you think your cat loves you, just remember it would probably yawn and go to sleep while watching you getting murdered with a rake.

Tier four in London. You can only stab members of your own household.

A new study in the National Geographic magazine says they found that vegetarian cavemen died earlier than cavemen who ate meat. But it wasn't because they starved. It was because they got murdered for banging on about why they'd become vegetarians.

Police Detective: ”TELL US WHY YOU MURDERED HIM”. Slamming his fist into the desk. Me: ”He used the words ’innit bruv’ in a sentence.” Detectives: ”We're sorry to have wasted your time sir you're a credit to the country.

As a serial killer my name would be "the suspense" so my victims would be like " oh no the suspense is killing me" and we would both laugh, then I would stab them to death.

They say that one person in your circle of friends has the potential to be a serial killer. I couldn't figure out who it was likely to be. So I killed them all.

An emotionally healthy person in safe, stable circumstances would probably be expected to say no too this question. Soldiers, paramedics, police officers, doctor's, emergency rescue staff, would be lying if they claimed to never share a chuckle or two over the grousome carnage of what was recently living, breathing, whole human beings with their insides still inside them.
Cracking jokes at such inappropriate times is a coping mechanism to stave off the onset of Hysteria and complete trans induced insanity when dealing with such horrific situations on a regular basis.
I was able to postpone such creepy behavior by using the coping mechanisms our drill instructors taught us to will ourselves too kill professional soldiers bent on killing us first, if we let them by hesitating to do our job. That coping mechanism, was controlled, directional xenophobic hatred, to be turned on like a switch upon being fired upon, and turns off the same way before returning to the world (mainland U. S. A.)
After a while, you start to realize the futility of trying to convince yourself that Ivan is the enemy simply by calling him a commie M. F. from a distance to far to see the fear in this stranger's eyes before a bullet exiting
your flash suppressor turns him off like a switch.
When you see a fellow solder's head disintegrate before your eyes from friendly fire stupidity, you can iether go starck raving mad and hope that your buddies are humane in the manner in which they quickly go about urthanizing you, or share an inappropriate chuckle about the stupidity of the dumb m*********** for sticking his head up where it shouldn't have been stuck, while exchanging lead with an unknown hostile Force, resulting in the unknown hostile Force being an uninformed contingent of your own military Marine corps, who are not at fault for the lack of relevant up-to-date Intel. notifying them of who they're shooting at and who's shooting at them. Tragedy, irony, really bad luck, you pick and choose your interpretive filters accordingly, if survival is a priority for you. That means the occasional use of dark humor as a release valve to ensure that survival remains a possible outcome in your immediate future.

Context matters. If he joked that he wanted to kill you, joked that he was glad someone died etc then that's, not funny

[Anonymous]

Depends on the context, but usually no, especially if it was hinting in any way towards me or someone else.

[exitseven]

I worked with cops for a long time. They see so much crap that they use humor as a coping device. Maybe he is doing that?
I do not think it is anything more than just a little poor judgement. You made it clear you didn't like it. See if that is the end of it.

[spartan55]

Depends on the joke and the context of the conversation.

[boggboss]

Yes I have found jokes about death funny in the right context

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Part of me isn’t sure, but my Christian side is like, “WHAT THE FUCK?”

Why can't you trust teenager mothers on a mission?


They will be happy to abort

[mattissebfan5]

No it's terrible this is murder not a joke

[jahaims]

Any subject matter is not off limits for a joke

[JesseJayNeak]

It's called dark humour

[Soremain]

What's the joke?

[Mrknowseverything]

Wouldn't recommend.
