    If you can't joke about 6 million dead civilians what can you joke about?
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    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.

    Your math is off.

    Oh never mind, I keep forgetting your Texan. Math is easier there. One, two, three...ten, bunch, whole lotta, Texas-sized amount.

    PEROSNAL ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    One can simultaneously acknoweldge what happend was bad, but if you can't joke about it than those people still have a hold on you. Humor is a very good coping mechanism much better than mourning

    It takes 22.3 years before a tragedy can be laughed about. So, holocaust-jokes have been OK since around august 1967.

    Also the reason why it's OK to joke about the 6 million killed in the holocaust, but not about the ~3000 killed in WTC....

    That's because he's a horrible comedian, not because the holocaust isn't funny....

    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 know... :P i meant that he realised that he is not funny and he kinda goes silent and decides to makes another weird noise, which also fails XD

    good point, there is a point within the living memory of those who suffered where public jokes of this variety could be deemed deeply insensitive.

    i take it you refer to the passage of generations with the 22.3 figure?

    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.

    Ya never saw such jokes either. Nazi's are just crazy cool villains in the alternative reality of entertainment. Especially when ocultism is added.

    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....
