Would this make you laugh?

Asked by DeLorean24 (296points) March 31st, 2022

The following joke made me laugh. Would it you laugh, whether you’re a man or woman?

“If I wanted to intimidate you or hurt your dignity, which do, I’d put on my Will Smith costume, go on stage in front of a live audience, and slap somebody and say ‘Jada told me to defend myself.’”

Can’t say it does.
Then again, I’m hard to please.

It doesn’t. To me it’s pointless.

It is non sequitur ! !

Making a joke out of a rather serious issue is far from funny to me.

Keep your day job.

Will Smith has gone down in my estimation since the Oscars incident and the more I think about it the more it annoys me so no, I wouldn’t find it funny.

Nope – not seeing anything funny or witty there, not even in a “black” humor sort of way.

How would THAT intimidate or hurt ME? And what about the proposition should I find laughable?

No.
It is not an actual joke, but some kind of threat overexplained to such an extent that it becomes utterly meaningless.
Why would I be intimidated by you in black-face slapping someone else, while robbing yourself of any agency by claiming that someone else told you to do it? Pitiful.

It might depend on how it was said, and the context, but I expect at most, I’d smirk.

SEKA's avatar

Not even a mild chuckle

Samantha4One's avatar

Honestly, it doesn’t bring out any reaction at all. Maybe it depends on how it’s well spoken.

No, it’s creepy.

No I don’t get it, sorry.
