When is a rape joke okay?

[Debater Slayer]

So then you agree that when the coyote falls off the cliff (which would kill him in real life) that is worst than a rape joke?

I think that over-exaggeration may help to make it — I mean the coyote's falling off the cliff — more palatable. If it was over-exaggerated to the point of absurdity, I'd think that the unrealistic elements would be enough to make it acceptable. Cartoon characters aren't usually meant to be accurate reflections of reality, anyhow.

Yes and no.

They reflect reality in some ways (or else they wouldn't ´t be relatable at all, so, not funy) but they don´t in every way (thing they have in common with most jokes)

In any case, most jokes rely on exageration.

Are there any scenes in movies, games, cartoons, etc. where a character is getting raped and somebody laughed because it was funny? Are there funny rape scenes?

how about this? (I have no idea what they're saying though)

The chase made me chuckle, but beyond that I found it boring

It's probably best to wait until the next day.

Part of me likes to imagine you've been sitting around formulating your joke for three years, and you finally had a eureka moment and ran to the computer for that one.

Question.....
Is it a rape joke if it isn't even remotely funny?
I understand that South Park is categorized as a comedy, but watching it is much like having a boil lanced.

My attention span rarely allows for more than 3 seconds before responding. Sorry to disappoint.

Can this be considered a rape joke?

I'm sure someone found it humorous.
