    Are you the kind of person that punches somebody if they make a joke about you because you sound like it.

    Also show me where my 'ignorance' has been elsewhere on this forum please.

    indeed. you should consider the negative effect that the characterisation of yourself in that way will have on the perception of irish people in general and the fact that it will help to perpetuate a negative and outdated stereotype.

    It's all a play on a deragatory word, so ironic or not, I don't think it's suitable.

    Do you get anything tbh

    two people have been sated, let's see how long you can last.

    Ahh yeah you have me there, I was thinking that comedy central was a U.S. television station. But as you pointed out to me, it's actually South African.

    You might as well add arrogance to your list of negative traits. Get out in the world a little bit more and learn yourself some education.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31 madisona


    indeed. nobody in the states refers to blacks as "coloureds".
    africian americans is the politically correct terminology

    Tar.Aldarion You made a number of ignorant statements about vegetarianism here before. The web pages you quoted from were completely inaccurate and served to prove the very opposite of your argument. Then when you realized this you just put your head in the sand and started name calling.

    No you inferred that I used coloured as an offensive term whereas I did not, It is continuing along the same lines of the joke that if i say something ironically that that makes me a racist.http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Coloured
    Then I made another joke saying i meant the 'coloured people' of south africa and still you do not get it.

    Oh now I am arrogant, go on where does that come out of?Maybe That I think that you have half a brain then you would get a joke?
    where were all these outraged replies that i got about the original joke when I said coloured, maybe people can get jokes on the humour forum,who knows.

    eh. FX Meister made a remark about someone who characterised themselves as an alcoholic paddy. His remark was clearly intended to be ironic.
    however you Tar seem to have failed to realize this. Perhaps you should ask sombody to explain irony to you. touche

    aye, great craic.
    I can bring them out like nobodies business.
    I'm gonna post about the war in iraq next to see who I can help add to your list :v:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭FX Meister


    You used an outdated and derogatory term, just because you don't know it shouldn't be used doesn't mean it's ok. It's just ignorant. But you still think you are in the right and in a very overbearing way. That's just arrogant.
    But there's no point arguing with you over it. Unfortunately all I can do is look down on you and feel sorry for you. Enjoy the rest of you evening. I won't be back.

    Oh nice one bow out when I explain my joke,at least fuzzy was smart enough to get it.I doubt you even know that the black people called THEMSELVES coloured in the video as a joke.Sigh. I have explained that it is derogatory and even linked you to a definition of it being so.

    Then you make a ridiculous claim about my activities in the vegetarian / vegan forum and then don't link.
    You w1n.

    i don't find it negative, i actually find it quite funny, some of my friends that don't drink (shock horror) have no problem with it and even people i know that aren't called paddy are ok with it

    they're from the dave chappelle show, my american flatmate showed me that ages ago, thought it was gas!

    this is the humor forum right?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,287 ✭✭✭NotMe

    Yer I think some people are confusing it with humanities

    Anyway the clip is hilarious :v:

    that is just ridiculous. who could possibly watch that and see it as an affirmation of any beliefs, it's obviously an over-the-top joke. This PC bullsh*t is gettin old. Grow up a bit.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,034 ✭✭✭Devon


    You would absolutely need to have seen his show to appreciate the humour. The "Niggar Family" segment is from S02E02 and a vast amount of the audience are black. He gives a great intoduction to the segment and why he did it in the first place. You really would need a little background on it before you see it to "get" the humour.

    On a side note, he's hailed as being one the most intelligent comedians on the earth today. He did another good segment on the same show extracting the urine out of McDonalds for an ad they ran which emphasised how many african american staff they employ.

    Get this episode if you can.

    You don't really need to have seen it tbh. I'm sure most people havn't that found it funny.
    It's common sense but some people are filled with 'oh why won't somebody please think of the children' BS.

    this is better than pro-wrestling
    *pulls up a deck chair and some popcorn*

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,800 ✭✭✭county


    made me laugh anyway:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 410 ✭✭Drazhar


    There are two things in this world i hate, racists and black people.....

    Well actually, i only hate mushrooms


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 202 ✭✭Anto and Moe


    He he, Dave Chappelle is a genus!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 385 ✭✭radioman


    That clip is very funny, and guess what, I'm not racist

    By the way, did all you PC people find that clip from the Simpsons where all the Irish get drunk and start fighting at the Paddys day parade offensive?

    Poeple with no sense of humour should be banned from this forum


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭FX Meister


    People aren't getting the point, it doesn't matter whether it's racist or not, it's just not that funny. Now the one with Rick James, that had me in stiches, that was absolutely genius. He did Jick James down to a T and the boots looked really good, expecially when he stamped them all over the couch.

    Wow I so totally got you there, if this was, like, on TV I'd be Aston Kutcher and you would be so punk'd. And that's fact bog monsteur.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    ^^

    not much point in being Aston Kutcher if you can't even get someones name right,
    hey Tar.Alda Marion you've been punk'd


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 370 ✭✭base2


    Its funny whether its racist or not. And Dave Chapelles comedy is racist for those not in the know.

    Take it to the Thunderdome if you want to battle it out, this is not the place. Mass bannings are being considered for all involved parties (if you made a post, I might ban you for a month).
