I laffed.

We all have different ideas of what we find amusing it doesn't indicate a sense of humour bypass if a certain joke doesn't work for us! I like Dylan Moran in Black Books for instance but a close friend doesnt find find it funny at all 😂

Nothing to do with PC /woke etc I just didn’t find it funny, is that not allowed ?

I found victoria wood hilarious but don’t find say Sara Pascoe funny.

It’s really quite unpleasant all the posters talking about sense of humour bypass etc. a bit like accusing people with different taste in music of being unmusical

Of course we all have different senses of humour but why feel the need to say that it didn’t amuse you? I find that a bit below the belt.
I thought it was very funny BTW

Hilarious

I love it! Think there’s a lot of truth in it too 😊

Belowthe belt ?

Is this thread called “don’t dare say it’s not funny?”
I said it didn’t amuse me because it didn’t. Simple as that.

“I had a salted caramel ice cream last night”.

“Oh sorry I don’t like them”

Why feel the need to say you don’t like caramel ice cream, that’s below the belt “

????? New GN rule ?

It's funny what people on GN find to fight about!

Well this one is rather bizarre icanhandthemback I mean surely its OK to find something funny or not? We cant all have the same SOH.

Laff, I 'ad to wring 'em out!

Or

Laff? I thought me leg's ud rust.

Or simply worralaff!!!!

I laughed. Think there's a lot of truth there. I'm surprised at you, Fanny Cornforth. You usually are pretty level-headed, not one to be miffish.

Nothing wrong with not finding the joke funny Lucca We all have a different sense of humour afterall. What cracks me up are the po faced finger waggers who can't just say that it's not their taste in jokes but instead have to remind us all of the stereotypical misandry, misogyny and misanthropy of the joke!!! And as for likening it to a Bernard Manning joke..... obviously didn't go to his Embassy Club!

Wyllow3, probably best to ignore the less kind comments. I don't think there is anything wrong with not finding the same things funny but I am interested in what things people find funny. It's a subtle difference!

Exactly, Callistemon21! But we love our fantastic Aussie men. Wouldn’t swap mine for the world and we’ve been married since 1879.

I missed this post

Congratulations- you deserve a gold medal AussieGran 🏅

I laughed Some Aussie men are larrikins It’s their saving grace
I know I live with one

Maybe some people have assumed that Daddima is a male, mocking women.

There are some truly offensive jokes in the internet cesspits, this isn’t one of them.

Not my type of humour at all - how stereotypical and demeaning for both genders

It’s only a joke! Made me smile but wondered if it was a wind up to set some grannies off!

Generally speaking, most of offensive comments are classified as jokes to be accepted

Well, thank you hcw. What a nice thing to say.

I probably did go over board with the ‘misandry’ stuff, I was probably caught in a grumpy mood. I’m actually quite partial to a bit of misanthropy.

LancashireGran I can assure you that I am far from being ‘a po faced finger wagger’

But, like Lucca, I just don’t think that it is at all funny - which of course is the entire purpose of a joke.

It’s over long; cliched to the point of banality; and the lift analogy is laboured and clunky.

And having read some of the latter comments, (I haven’t read the full thread) I’m reminded of the maxim, ‘writing about music is like dancing about architecture’

The things people find to argue about.

The things people find to argue about.

Makes a change from endless chat about “festive food” at least.

It's just turned into a very grumpy thread.

It’s over long; cliched to the point of banality; and the lift analogy is laboured and clunky.. Oh dear.
