That bloke with the big forehead from Cheers?

There wasn't a character called Ali in Cheers.

So you are with a black mate (who is a bit touchy on the old racism)and you hear a racist joke, do you laugh or not?

If there are parts of the joke that are funny I'll naturally laugh at that while being appalled at the racist bits ...... it's like ignoring the fact that the lass with perfect tits, you're shagging, is a ginge

I'd explain this to my black mate who'd be the kind of sensible bloke who'd understand otherwise I wouldn't have him as a mate.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

Should never laugh at your own jokes Harry, it's just not cricket.

Much to my shame, I have laughed at my own jokes.

Only if it's funny and/or he is incensed by it

Lost you about there.

I would.

But then he'd know me and knew what my crack was. If he was that sensitive he wouldn't be my mate.

Depends if the man's Chineseness is the thing that made it funny.

 

[Life's A Pitch]

You cant be racist if you have a black mate who tells you all the racist jokes you know.

 

[Sebasaurus II]

I would.

Good point.

Lost you about there.

What parts of racist jokes do you find funny?

 

[Feenix]

Someone falling over is generally funny irrespective of race ..... dunno why but it is.

The bits that aren't racist obviously :roll:

Agreed. But it does make it funnier, doesn't it?

Kirsty Ali?

What if he couldn't see where he was going very well because of............macular degeneration - well, he is old

 

[Sebasaurus II]

The punchline is usually the racist part, so you're talking shit.

Uncle Tom's don't count.

He was wearing wooden shoes?



Reported.

That's about the size of it ....... having a mate with a nose the size of a Toucan's bill wouldn't be any fun if he couldn't handle the odd nose joke.

 

[Harry Angstrom]

The bits that aren't racist obviously :roll:

That's just a joke.

Well on one else is going to are they?
