Discussion What is your opinion about suicide jokes?

[StarryEyed]

So what is your opinion about suicide jokes? Check off the boxes for all that you agree with. I'll start with this joke....

 

[lohre2000s]

I think - and this is obviously very much personal - that jokes are just that, jokes.
For me it all comes down to the intent... was it to make people laugh? Was it to ridicule the subject? Was it just for the funsies? Did the person just want to share the joke?

I think there are way worse things in life than jokes, so I generally stand on the side of "it's fine whatever" argument when it comes to this.

If they're funny, I like them. The main thing is that they don't feel like a slap in the face

 

[Spite]

I'm mostly indifferent towards them.

 

[MakinItHappen111]

i dont mind them

 

[Awesomefoid67]

i like them tjough if someone who isnt suicidal makes them i will kinda side eye them cus i dont really like that but idc theyre free to do what they want

 

[SASU-KE]

I have tons of dark jokes, I love them. That being said, I'm really careful when and where to use them.

Interesting feedback! @lohre2000s intent - yes!!! @Set Real Goul definitely not too offensive, like there's a limit for me too in how offensive it is. @Awesomefoid67 for me too I can handle more from like-minded people. I think that's the same for jokes on other subjects too. It like an 'inside joke' has more leeway.

lmfao also you just reminded me of this meme i made about myself on here ages ago idk if its technically a suicide joke but still

 

[outrageage]

they make me want to kill myself

 

[StarryEyed]

@Awesomefoid67 that's absolutely brilliantly hilarious!!!! One of the most important element of a joke is that while it is funny, it speaks a deep truth. IMO you nailed some deep truths. Well for me. Of course I'm not the voice of all people suicidal.

 

[Forveleth]

I mean, I fucking love the suicide joke and dark humor meme threads that we have. My sense of humor is dark and very dry.

 

[StarryEyed]

Why do they make you want to kill yourself?

@Forveleth could please direct me to those threads?

 

[limenlux]

I once had a job where my co-workers and I would threaten to dispose of ourselves in absurd, over-the-top, completely unactionable ways in response to workplace stress. One evening as we were doing this, a co-worker who wasn't usually on our shift burst out of the room in tears because her husband had made a serious attempt at taking his own life once. We all learned a valuable lesson about both sensitivity and discretion that night.

 

[StarryEyed]

Oh definitely @limenlux ! Number one rule in any social situation about any topic - with or without jokes - is to know your audience. What a dreadful situation! Yikes.

 

[Surek]

Suicidal jokes are deadly good

The pesticidal joke you shared was very funny, Forveleth! :)

 

[StarryEyed]

Thank you very much, @Forveleth !! Added to my watch list and I'm going to read some today. I'm feeling so fucking suicidal today! I had never heard a suicide joke in my while life until someone posted one in a thread I was following here on SaSu. I just about died laughing. So I took to the net to find some, but only found four good ones, three of which I posted in this thread. Here is the fourth...
