A big tomato and a little tomato were talking. The big one turns to the other and says "Ketchup!" That's a joke. It offends no one. Jokes are not made to offend.

    Don't be so sure a truly dedicated liberal could argue that that little tomato not being able walk as fast as a big tomato is offensive to people of small stature by implying they and not equal to people of larger stature. I joke but its true

  • But I do not believe it was "intended" to cause offense. That's kind of my argument :/ Like the difference between manslaughter and murder... [spoiler]I do feel for the little tomato, though :( Poor guy...[/spoiler]

  • Your ability to apply logic and reason is as poor as your ability to understand the nature of jokes, I see.

  • Strictly speaking jokes are meant to amuse, not offend. My above joke disproved your point but you can't accept it. There is nothing wrong with your opinions, if you think Nolans joke was offensive then ok, but don't harp on about about how all jokes are meant to offend when it isn't true.

  • According to Psychology, you seem to be experiencing a form of overconfidence called fixedness. Don't get defensive however, it is part of how your mind works.

  • As a psychologist, I can point out than unless you have a license, you should avoid trying to do something like this unless you enjoy being unethical and immoral.

  • I'm just a sophomore in highschool taking an AP Psych class. See how I told the truth and didn't pull the "french model". (Reference to old insurance commercial)

  • noun 1. a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline. "she was in a mood to tell jokes" synonyms: funny story, jest, witticism, quip; Nothing about being offensive here

  • Ah, yes, because a dictionary gives such an in depth understanding of a complex topic. Please, avoid that in the future for your well being.

  • Ok, since the definition of a word is apparently not valid when discussing what a word means show me something that states all jokes are offensive.

  • No. Your insistence, already, that we talking about a word and not a concept, is indicative that in order for you to grasp what is being said to you I would first have to teach you the basics. I don't work for free.

  • Hey, this guy is making jokes on Psychology Today. You might want to let your peer know that he is being offensive. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/hide-and-seek/201303/top-10-zen-jokes

  • There is only about twelve journals with current humor articles in them, and only about seven studies in the us going on right now. Not all that coincidental.
