you know I also look at it this way...if sometime upsets me...I try to look at why it upsets me, rather then look at the comedian and blaming them for having poor taste.

I find there are times certain buttons get triggered...so I try to explore that before totally getting upset at the comedian for commenting on the obvious..

see... I don't find falling or slap slick funny...though when I was a kid I'll admit I liked Jerry Lewis and the 3 stoogies. Now I don't care for their humor. I do laugh at things that make fun of our weakness...especially because many of us take ourselves way too seriously. I think I laugh cause it reminds me of the fact I shouldn't take myself serious.

There are a lot of jokes about therapist, ministers, witches, puerto rican and women...some I find funny and some I don't. Granted they are all making fun of my path in some way...but I can't take it personal. I often tend to see myself as way too serious sometimes and humor reminds me of the fact everything is temporary...and labels are just that labels.

One of the many generalized hispanic jokes I hear a lot..."puerto ricans all carry knives"...I know its not true for the most part...but I find it funny to hear that..and then I think of my grandma who had a machette and almost used it on an old man who tried to molest a child,, go figure!!

Some jokes doe have a lining of truth...maybe that's why I laugh

Mystery Science Theater 3000. It involved a guy and his two robots watching bad movies and riffing on it with their own dialogue while the movie dialogue proceeded. It doesn't sound as funny as it actually is (for some).
