If you can't joke about 6 million dead civilians what can you joke about?

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

That's because he's a horrible comedian, not because the holocaust isn't funny....
When Peter Griffin wears a nazi outfit and tells Louis and her friend that "...there's only one way you're not getting on that train - bow-chicka-bow-wow", that's a hilarious holocaust-joke![]()

On the topic of nazis/shoah jokes, around here, most people who make jokes about the nazis and the Shoah are unfortunately people who happen to think all this wasn't that bad, and that Israel is doing "way worse man!".
So yeah, I don't find them offensive per themselve. But unhappily, most people who make them are holocaust deniers or at least people who try to lessen it (most oftenly in order to blame Israel for something).

I'm not sure jokes about the actual holocaust are ok. Jokes about Nazis and their mannerisms are one thing, but you'll note that none of the attached clips (or any other popular jokes about Nazis that I know) poke fun at the prosecution of the holocaust or killing jews. I know some modern British comedians can be very dark int heir humour, but they do not cross the line of diminishing the horror of genocide.

Nazism attatched to Germany is so outdated when using it for discriptive purposes. Now when I'm talking to people about hard core porn involving feces, urine, or various farm animals, i play the german card....
