To play Devil's Advocate, the "Who's On First" routine's humor is derived from making fun of Asian names, so it's not exactly an example of innocent humor.

But not nearly as much as calling a Jewish person a kike while having your specially trained dog bark at him while giving the Bellamy salute. Or reposting the same A. Wyatt Mann comics over and over again with new poo poo MSpainted ontop.

"What" and "I don't know" Aren't asian names. The joke is literally that those 3 players have odd names that aren't names.

Which lets be honest he not going to jail he's going to pay a fine for being an rear end in a top hat which society has decided is perfectly acceptable, outside of the type of people who say an armed society is a polite society.

this was a thing not too long ago so it's probably easy to misunderstand the who's on first routine. a lot of vaudville was based in absurd misunderstandings

A minimal fine and no criminal record I might consider appropriate.

Crain posted:Much like this other classic: You know what would really make this funny? If they made some very hilarious jokes about Costello did this because he was a cheap, stingy Jew! Man, that would have been a laugh riot! Wait, no, not funny, the other thing. Humor-killing, that's it! Man, maybe there was a reason they didn't do jokes like that! Probably because they weren't funny then and aren't funny now.

Who What Now posted:I love when you Kramer into the thread to defend Nazis because you wind up saying some really dumb poo poo like this. Jokes and humour are the product of paradoxes and contradictions exploring expectations, societal norms, and cultural and personal identities. So they'll often be at odds with the people who identify with said norms. Challeging said identities is the very function of humour, that of exploring the gap, creating a libidinal distance, between a norm and it's contradictory effects. This often leads to offense to some people. It's part and parcel of modern culture that one should be able to 'laugh at one self'. What I mean is that offence is very much involved in jokes altough not always and not necessarily, but I don't believe there is a strictly 'safe' type of humour where you aren't phrone to offend anyone. You don't need to be a racist shithole to acknowledge this, which is what your strawmen of Kramer seems to point to. Nazi pug idiot, repeated 'gass the jew's too many times in his dumb video, that what might have initially been a kind of funny dog video gradually turned into crappy edgelordiness. Still, I think arresting him for this is too much, especially if it's a first time offense, which it might not be.

Guavanaut posted:There was the big thing a while back that police dogs were being trained to be racist, and it's been known for a long time in places like South Africa that dogs owned by racists tend to be racist. I did say "slightly". Racist I can get but unless you have a lot of Orthodox around you'd have trouble, and you'd probably also end up with a dog that hates barristers.
