It's the drawn out amount of graphic detail involved. At a certain point it basically stops being funny and starts being gross, to the point that the half-hearted attempt a punchline at the end doesn't really do anything to improve the comedic value.
And on the whole it's just a bit more inappropriate in terms of content insofar as the we'd prefer to present, I guess. The spoiler-texting is appreciated, of course, but really on the whole it's just not the direction we'd like to take things. Hope that clears things up.

I mean I don't really mind dead baby jokes, but dead baby speeches are like just too much dead baby in one sitting for anything ever.
Like, that's just way way way way way too morbid for a thread where people are rightfully expecting funny things to be said. (And yes, the spoiler tags are greatly appreciated. Gonna replace them with a swap tag though, same effect.) e: Quote:
Yeah, I mean there's "crosses the line a bit funny," and there's "so far out there that it crosses the line again funny," but this is like "crosses the line, and builds a goddamn castle and makes a moat around that castle exactly halfway to crossing the line to being funny again not funny."

It's not like regular shaggy dog stories are actually funny to begin with!

The duchess was answering his question with I. KNOW. NOTHING. but the way it sounds is "I'm wealthy and powerful and do great things but I don't know shit."

Is that really a joke though? Or just social commentary? Does a joke, like art, defy a single commonly accepted definetion?

The Duchess was just way too refined a lady to deign to know anything that may help the narrator's class of person.
Also, standard complaint about the weak stomachs and numbed sense of humor of the youth and seriously, we are concerned about the image the forum presents now? Fine, no cutting edge material, I'll keep it nice and cuddly in the future. . . . Hey, did you hear this joke from over in the art forum? The World's Most Politically Correct Joke. I think it's been approved by the United Nations. Boy: I have two cookies. Girl: I have no cookies. Boy: Here, I give you one of my cookies. Girl: Thank you. Now we both have the same amount of cookie. Boy: Everyone should be nice to each other.
