funny on the surface and then just kind of dissolves into pathetic. sorry to crash the party. just sharing my reaction.
I disagree, It is funny period. Religion is the bad joke.
@DerekDerek whatever. chalk it up to having different opinions, tastes, whatever. the joke ultimately is not about religion. and despite what the OP says, it's particularly negative toward women.
@crazycurlz I happen to agree that men lie and cheat more than women.
Women take a bum rap because of the so-called bible. I say so-called because it's a trashy novel.
@crazycurlz I see you point as it is a man talking about a woman, but it could be used in the reverse...Comedians making jokes for laughs...that is all it is to me. Life is too short to get offended easily.
thanks, @LeeSpaner1 but, I think women cheat too. @DerekDerek I don't know if you do see my point cause MY point is that this wasn't a woman joking about a man. Again, on the surface funny because it looks like a biblical joke but take a second look and it's really negative on women. Also, I don't feel offended. I'm older. I feel like I have the right to voice my opinion.
Women do cheat, NO doubt about it. Maybe I don't see your point, though, as it was a joke clearly about religion and you saw it as an attack on women everywhere. You turned it into some liberal rhetoric and I find it hilarious. This is stupid to even go on with a conversation about a joke. Good day.
@DerekDerek well, that's a leap. I'm not liberal. I'm progressive. And, yes, I agree, sometimes it's best to end with we agree to disagree.
@crazycurlz I think I have to agree that this was meant to be a joke about the bilble being a pack of lies. It could just as well have been a woman making the remark, donβt think itβs meant to be misogynistic.
I do agree with you 100%. & while women cheat & lie too, they don't do it nearly as much as men do. More than half of divorces are due to male infidelity. Men themselves admit to cheating more in survey after survey. I think there is still an attitude that a woman cheating & lying is worse than a man cheating & lying to justify why these sorts of "jokes" are so much more commonly directed at women. We are held to higher standards of behavior.
I definitely could have used this line on a past few relationships...
Yea, but it's always afterwards that you know.
Well they do say that people tend to be wiser with the benefit of hindsight.
@LetzGetReal Maybe... but more like just, from an old bastard.... me
Anthony Jeselnik is one of my favorite comedians. He's one of the few comedians who manages to catch me off guard on a regular basis. And I love that nothing is off limits in his comedy. Dark, irreverent humor speaks to me.
He is a funny guy, I have heard him a couple times.. very intelligent man that brings humor into things you wouldn't normally think of.
Iβm watching him now on Netflix.
I recently posted on Facebook this statement "Religion if the Tool of the Psychopath", and I had a really bad reaction from a person who must be Christian, but who calls herself an Agnostic.
I do think there are some trolls on here pretending to be something they are not.. ironic isn't it, what are they trying to prove anyways..
@mistymoon77 yep, trolls have a tendency of not showing their face or bother with a bio but they post a lot of bullshit.
@mistymoon77 Why, they are trying to "save" us, no doubt. Totally for our own good, of course! (LMFAO!)
@mistymoon77 Years ago on AOL Astrology chat every 5 minutes a bible thumper would start spouting "You devil worshipers are all going to hell!" I tell them "You are going about this the wrong way." and they would try to say some bible quote out of context. Pointless!
I think we have clearly seen that psychopaths do regularly use religion as a tool. Its right to say that if its what we clearly observe.
The tool of the psychopath, absolutely. Voltaire said it perfectly, "if you can induce them to believe absurdities, you can get them to commit atrocities." Hitler did it, Nazism is a religion; Oliver Cromwell did it invading Ireland in the name of Anglicanism; the Crusaders caused the blood in Jerusalem to be ankle deep, according to eyewitness historians. The list goes on and on.
@mudhen I have always maintained that religion is a mental illness.
@phxbillcee saving us sounds like a βfunβ hobby that they wil never win.
HaHaHa.
I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.
Now that's really funny, in a lingering, pithy way! Good One!!
I thought less about morons then the more I thought about the more I knew their were and are pathetic morons. Meant that yesterday.
I used to be a schizophrenic but we're OK now!
Oh, yeah... definitely gonna commit this one to memory.
This is the best way to describe my ex husband 8)
Mine as well.
This guy is hilarious. If you don't mind some "sick" jokes, see his Netflix special "Thoughts & Prayers". I miss his Comedy Central show.
I love sick jokes.. I have a demented twisted warped sense of humor so ya.. bring it on..
@mistymoon77 My kinda gal! I saw above that you've heard some of his stuff, so you are forewarned. His Eric Clapton joke from that special is surely twisted, & that's just one "dead baby" joke!
Yeah, I've watched that one several times on Netflix.
@birdingnut So have I, just to try to memorize most of his jokes!
If it's streaming on Netflix I'm gonna watch it!
This has gotten so many laughs with me and I also found out many of my religious friends don't have much of a sense of humor.
Mocking their God, no they tend not to laugh. Shame as they're missing out
This is an outrageously funny line that will certainly enrage trump supporters when I tweak it a bit. Thank you for introducing me to this guy. With and humor...what's not to like?
heh...my plan exactly! and let's not neglect the godbots!
I'd never join a club that had me for a member
I believe that's a quote from Groucho Marks .
Groucho is the kind of great puns like that one.
"This morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How it got into my pajamas, I'll never know."
Some of his quoted are kinda sexist or gross, but still funny, such as:
"Behind every great man is a great woman. And behind her, is the man's wife."
@Cast1es Definitely Groucho!
