[Humour] Is this joke offensive?

[Herr Tubthumper]

I asked my Doctor for something for my liver, he gave me a pound of onions.

See, it’s possible to be funny and inoffensive. I’m here all week. I wonder how much these London dinners pay?

If you do a turn at any of them, may I suggest that you add 'The Irishmen' to the start of the joke, being as they are the most successful Irish act ever and among the biggest in the world of all time? I'm sure it'll make the joke less dull/bland and the listeners will have learned something that they may not have been aware of.

Well there's Michael McIntyre humour and there's Jimmy Carr humour.

I like em all, even the Dad jokes!

The answer is 30 quid and a free meal.

Did you hear about the Irish newlyweds who sat up all night on their honeymoon waiting for their sexual relations to arrive?

It wouldn’t make me change my mind that Bono and Sting are a pair of up their own arse twonks though

I threw in Sting because he’s white and English

Did they come in the end?

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Did they come in the end?

No sadly.

But they had to book a flight the next day so the Bride rang up the travel agency and asked the lady how long it took to fly to Athens, the lady said "one moment" and the Bride said thank you and hung up.

Which nation produces the best pacemaking runners in the world?

The answer is Kenya.

If you want an honest opinion Tyrone, your stand-up material still needs a bit of polishing.

Oh I'm very much a black humour person. The kind of stuff that really does offend some sensitive types.

Certainly not the kind of humour for a refined place like NSC.

Well you can add American or Australian to the joke to give it some less bland language if you want.

What if you made a joke about cricket cheating and added Australia to it, is that racist or does it in fact make the joke work better?

I think the joke would work far better mentioning Australia in it than mentioning nobody at all and making it a boring generic reference.

No. It would not be a joke because Australians have recently cheated in Test cricket. Three of them.

Linking: cricket - Australian - cheating would not be racist. It would merely be a statement of fact.

And Kenyans have ran as pace makers recently. Thus a statement of fact.

How about this cheeky chap! Rather funny what he did.

The world’s elite athletes may think twice before employing Reuben Kipyego as a marathon pacemaker again, after the Kenyan had a late change of heart in a recent race and kicked on for a bizarre victory.

The 23-year-old had been due to drop out of last Friday’s Abu Dhabi Marathon after 30km, but clearly his competitive spirit—and the lure of a $100,000 prize— got the better of him.

Well, you know what they say, you can't polish a ...

Yes you can.

Mythbusters proved it.

So "they" don't know shit. (pun intended)

You still here desperately trying to prove a point?

You've engineered yourself into a corner and can't find a way out without losing face.

The joke isn't that offensive but does draw on a stereotype in order to operate when it doesn't need to. It's that simple.

Sorry, but that is poppycock.

No I'm just having a bit of fun you silly sausage.

You're in the minority here fella. Your echo chamber is rather small.

If you believe that you knew that Kenya was famous for its pacemakers, then yes

Sounds like a great joke to tell around the time of the Olympics.

The 1984 Olympics.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

The 1984 Olympics.

And all the ones after that and the next one too.
