        Quite often when I hear or see a joke I think a bit further than the surface level and ponder how that joke reflects on the image of someone in real life. Sometimes the answer is ‘not good’. The same goes for things other than jokes, so it always makes sense to consider how things you encounter may affect you

          Cats like to hunt birds, it’s really not that serious brother. It’s a funny joke.

          Also, just to get some downvotes, generally speaking the more offensive a joke the funnier. As long as you’re not directly making fun of a specific individual offensive jokes are funny af. And even if you are making fun of someone in specific, like Charlie Kirk, it’s still funny as fuck.

        When a joke isn’t funny, all thats left is the material that makes up the joke. This joke wasn’t funny to me, so I just see the “therapist wants to kill you” bit, which is doubly unfunny. Crazy how subjective comedy is :3

            Yeah, thats another take. I don’t know if one interpretation or the other is more right, or anything.

                Seriously. We have people in here acting like there’s only one way to interpret a comic, and complaining about how bad media literacy is. That’s how bad it’s gotten.

                    I thought I did. A quick search seems to confirm I was right.

                    What makes you question me?

                    Is it your bad understanding of media literacy?
