Who the hell are these sickos who tell dead baby jokes? If you were ever hit with the tragedy of losing a child you would understand that it certianly isn’t a joke. You should be ashamed of yourselves and it is people like you who make me wish stupidity was painful.

Nobody is trying to disrespect the memory of an actual dead baby. People who tell these jokes are trying to be shocking, disgusting or occasionally witty, but dead baby jokes have nothing to do with actual dead babies. Most of the jokes are just recycled from other, older jokes anyway, and cater to the high school/undergrad aged crowd that seems to get a kick out of howard stern-esque shock humor. When I was that age it was the same jokes with “Dead Hooker” and “Man with no arms and no legs” in place of “Dead Babies”.
Dead baby jokes are pretty stupid. You know what’s even more stupid? Being sooo sensitive, impressionable, and delicate that you actually take dead baby jokes seriously/ literally and cry about it saying things like “you should be ashamed of yourselves.” Dead baby joke-tellers need to grow up, and so do dead baby joke-whiners.
Yeah, I forgot to mention that the other half of the dead baby jokes are recycled versions of old grade school riddles like “what’s black and white and read all over”…it’s pretty infantile humor, jazzed up with graphic depections of violence and sodomy. Not my cup of tea in the humour department….but it has always been popular.
this is no different than polish jokes, which are converted to Newfie jokes….really no point in taking this shit to heart.
Exactly…it’s just a joke. Like that last post I sent you Homie. I could have easily replaced “Homie” with “coyotex” or even “Miles” for that matter. Don’t take it too personally. 😛
There is really such a thing as dead baby jokes? Man, I guess I don’t get out much. Sounds rather silly. I normally get all uppity about stuff like that, but I agree that it is just a shock value thing. I never quite understood why people even aim for the whole shock thing; it just makes you look like an ass. Personally, I can look very much like an ass all on my own without resorting to shock-value stuff, so I stick with that!
Wow, Jim, I guess you don’t get out much huh?Here’s one:Q: Why did the dead baby cross the road?A: Because it was stapled to the chicken.Please note that I posted that “joke” for descriptive purposes only, and that I do not condone such jokes, nor personally find them funny at all.At all.Really.Honest.Seriously.I just don’t.Listen, man…
People who get their kicks this way are just plain fucked in the head, as well as the whack jobs who drool over kiddie porn.
Seriously, they are not sick in the head – because they aren’t getting kicks out of images of dead babies. If these people actually SAW a dead baby, they’d drop dead themselves from the fear and revulsion.They don’t like dead babies. They like making sensitive goodie-two-shoes types squirm, because it is so easy and predictable, and thus funny to people who like their humour easy and predictable.Two different things. Why can’t the goodie-two-shoes types see the difference and rise above it? Who’s dumber? That’s the really sad part.
What’s worse than 10 dead babies in a grabage can?1 dead baby in 10 garbage cans.how many babies does it take to wall parper a wall?1 if you slice it thin enough.
Q. Which is easier to load onto the back of a pickup truck… Beach balls or dead babies..??A. Dead babies,,, you can use a pitch fork..
How many dead babies does it take to screw in a lightbulb?I’m actually not making a joke. I’ve been wondering for some time, and this seems like an opportune time to inquire. Without being kicked in the nutsack.
A: As many as it takes to make a pile high enough to climb and reach the bulb.(Not an original answer. Old joke.)Total gross-out:Q: What’s the difference between a dead baby and a peanut butter cup.A: A dead baby won’t stick to the roof of your mouth.Note that I do not find this funny at all.At all.Seriously.
I have never heard a “Dead Baby” joke and don’t even like to use the words in the same sentence. Seriously?? If someone needs to tell such jokes for shock value, they need to get a little self-esteem. I agree with the original poster — if you have actually have lost a baby or have seen babies die if you are a hospital or health care worker, you’d really realize just how wrong it is. Its over the line. Come on people — they are not the only so-called jokes in the world and they are NOT funny. I am shocked and saddened by the people who actually had the nerve to post some of these “jokes” here. Deplorable….
Check. I’m keeping a list of people dumb enough to tell dead baby jokes (including myself), and another list of people dumb enough to actually be offended by something so ridiculous. I just KNOW you are cat-sweater people, aren’t you??
Ah, some people have SUCH class.
Ah, some people have SUCH class.
How many dead babies can you fit in a wheelbarrow?I got 13! :oThese jokes are meant to make you go “Wow…over the line” while in your head laughing… there not meant to make you cry like a little bitch and guilt trip the joke teller about how there going to hell.
Comedy and tragedy are pretty closely linked. Nobody is actually laughing at dead babies….they’re laughing at the absurd and horrifying. I think it’s a survival thing- don’t you think that to laugh at the dark and twisted side of life, it sort of robs it of it’s power over you? Isn’t it much better to laugh than to sit around worrying about what life is going to throw at you next?When my mother lost all her hair to chemo recently, she and I would joke about the shitload of money she was saving on styling products and salon visits. Also, I would say that she had a “hair-don’t” instead of a “hair-do”. We weren’t laughing at the fact that she had cancer, we were dealing with it.”Humor is despair refusing to take itself seriously.” ~Arland Ussher
Well put, Tasha.Too bad some people have a pathologically underdeveloped sense of humour. Let’s all have a laugh at how seriously we take ourselves!
Well what does that make you if you listen to them? next time just walk away and tell them off. if they are your friends, get rid of them they are sick
Fuck off… YOU are the sick one Ginger…
Excellent points BTW,,, Tasha and Qwerty…
