There the real opportunity to have good communities here if everyone didn't take everything so god damn seriously.
Lighten up, it's funny.
Not really. I don't see how it's a good joke. Could it be? Sure. Maybe if Chapelle said it and had the right inflection. But it's pretty weak from a bargain store Fabio wannabe.
ah, remember when Chapelle stuck to jokes about a culture he's actually a part of?
I enjoy dark humor. I feel humor that could be taken as racist to be funny, if it's actually funny. I make jokes about my dead Mom to cope. When I'm insulted I tend to laugh at the absurdity. Slapstick can be fun. Fart joke? Heck yeah.
I'm not laughing.
How is it funny? The premise of the joke is she's not black. Where's the humor?
It's funny because Hercules is a fucking idiot
This is why you can't find things funny.
It's funny because it's absurd. That's a staple of comedy since forever.
Ok, I'll bite. What's the premise?
What exactly do you mean by premise?
Do all things need to have a premise to be funny?
