When I die I donate my body first to the necrophiliacs of the world and last the cannibals. Go nuts you guys.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago (2 children)

No no. Get the order right.

  1. Necrophiliacs
  2. Organ donation
  3. Cannibals
  4. Wiccans, pagans, or anyone else who can use bones for religious ceremonies.

First should be organ donation, it got to be fresh

  1. Science, so the final stage is being shot from a canon. Or helping a med student. I'm fine with either

At least he tried to save her.

Save her body for later use.

What even is the joke here? She decided to kill herself at home to reduce the likelihood of someone raping her corpse?

Or is it funny because the guy on the bridge saw her attempt at suicide as a sexual opportunity?

It's almost like an anti-joke, where the humor comes from how offensive it is. It's sad to think there are people who live this sort of experience, being seen as a sex object more than a human being, even in the darkest hours of their life. That's gotta fuck someone up.

Sexy Losers explores far worse subjects. This, in particular, is an origin story. It gets so, so much worse.

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 25 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It's called black humor. It's funny because it's dark, shared suffering. Hospice nurses and grade school teachers, for instance, tend to have great black humor.

Either you're looking for something to be offended about or you're lucky and haven't suffered much in your life.

[–] absentbird@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

I love black humor, but this is weak. A good black joke uses dark subjects to amplify effective humor, it's not just funny because it's crude. This is more akin to shock humor. The place it really falls short is the punchline imo.

Frankly I think the amount I've suffered probably detracts from it if anything; I've been there for two different friends after they lost a sister to suicide, both had been aggressively sexualized during their depression.

[–] ahal@lemmy.ca -1 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Or the third option, it's not that funny.

When it comes to black humour, people tend to have lower standards. I guess for them the shock factor is enough to carry the joke. But once you've seen enough black humour, the shock factor starts to wear thin. The shock factor should complement the joke, not be the subject of it.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 months ago

Have you considered the fourth, correct option, that humor is as subjective as musical taste?

[–] Machinist@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Nah, this is pretty funny, especially gobbling the sleeping pills.

Now, dead baby jokes rely mostly on the shock factor. I'm still immature enough to think they're funny as well.

There was/is a twit h account called SeeYouTomorrow. No idea who was behind the account (only in other streamers chat. Didnt stream). Will never forget those simple 3 words.

Reminding someone on the edge of doing something stupid, that I will see them tomorrow, implying that someone wants to see them tomorrow, thst somwone cares for them and thwy dont need to throw thier life away.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

SawYouYesterday, fittingly, has the opposite vibes. I'm in your walls

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 5 points 4 months ago

Oh ok

That's a very smart thing

[–] cley_faye@lemmy.world 54 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ah, finally, people posting this without cropping either the last panel or the header. Good.

[–] thatsTheCatch@lemmy.nz 5 points 4 months ago

Yeah I've never seen the last panel before

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Wouldn't work, but good humour.

This is the least bad comic in the series. This is the guy that literally invented fap.
