Under what context is it funny to make jokes about collecting money to hire a hitman on a semi-permanent medium?

I know where you live.

it's funny if the hitman is Andre 3000 and he's brandishing a pink gun of love.

When it is not funny?

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 20:39 (nineteen years ago) link

when it's you or someone you're friends with.

When they're George W. Bush.

that too.

I actually had a dream last night about GW dying painfully, but surprisingly it was not enjoyable but rather upsetting.

Did he die too quickly?

its only funny if its believable.

Squeaky was a cut-up.

Eh, I dunno. Contract killing/torture is only fun and games until it gets realistic and humanized.

― Laura E (laurae55), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 21:08 (nineteen years ago) link

Video games have taught me that.

― Laura E (laurae55), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 21:08 (nineteen years ago) link

When it's very clearly just a wild exaggeration demonstrating annoyance?

Also, it's pretty funny when it's common knowledge that the proposed "hitman" would sooner photoshop a flyswatter into a fly picture than kill a real one.

I just hope that the joke doesn't mean that I'm going to have to photoshop myself into a photo of a lawyer's office.

when it's you or someone you're friends with.

If you're friends with Jon, can you tell him to stop fucking up the boards? Thanks.

Such threats are hilarious when made on the Ask A Drunk forum. In that context they acquire an hilarity rarely to be equalled - the more fulminous, the better. In fact, I am going over there right now and starting a thread.

― Aimless (Aimless), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 23:42 (nineteen years ago) link

It's funny if the hitman is fictional (to whit, the recent assassins thread). Otherwise, both pointless and uncommendable.

this hitman?

― bill stevens (bscrubbins), Thursday, 24 June 2004 19:11 (nineteen years ago) link

That hitman is not fictional. His hatred is real.

deano... i'm sorry to be the one to tell you this - but pro wrestling is as real as santa claus and eskimos.

ESKIMOS ARE 4 R3AL

well, Marcello once said he'd put a bullet in the back of my head. It didn't change my view of him, I've always thought he was a twat.

― chris (chris), Thursday, 24 June 2004 20:05 (nineteen years ago) link

hahahaha classic!

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 24 June 2004 20:05 (nineteen years ago) link

I don't think Marcello knows who I am, fortunately.
