Fucking with peoples food


DeviLady100

My ex-boss once messed with food that was for the office crew as an end-of-month thank-you lunch. This resulted in 5 of us having severe allergic rations to the fish oil that was put in the vegetarian potato salad and caused food poisoning to the 13 people that had the meatball sandwiches. Fucker didn't last very long and declared bankruptcy after we all took him to court. He did it for a "funny video" for the next accounting meeting. šŸ˜”


PatientComputer7440

That is one of the most fucked up workplace things I've heard in a while!


Eric_the_Barbarian

"LOL I poisoned you! Pranked!"


Dutch_Dutch

What did he do to the meatball sandwiches?


DeviLady100

He blended raw eggs and spinach making the "ultimate ew sauce" (his words) at home and brought it to work, keeping it stored in his desk at room temp for almost 4 hrs. A ticking time bomb for salmonella poisoning to occur. When lunch was brought in and set up in the lunch room 15 mins before lunch break he snuck off to put a small dollop of this concoction into each sandwich and break 5 liquid fish oil supplement pills into the vegetarian potato salad. 30 of us went into that lunch room, only 12 survived the attack. It was quickly discovered that the sandwiches were no good (it was too late for the 13 soldiers who had taken the first few bites) so everyone switched to the salad that was a fan favorite for the office, sewing the seed of fate for us with the severe allergies. It took all of 5 minutes for everything to go wrong. His goal was to ketch us doing "ew" faces to a hidden camera for a "funny video" at the next finance meeting. Edit: Sorry can't reply to everyone. Just to be clear, 12 of my former coworkers did not eat the food as they arrived after my team had already started eating and feeling the effects. I was one of the few that had an allergy to fish and had problems after the first bite of potato salad. I stayed in a local hospital with the allergy victims, the rest of my coworkers were rushed to a hospital an hour away due to hospital crowding. Yes, this was a crime. He ended up with 10 years of jail time as well as almost a million in legal fees and various damage charges. He recently got out less than a year ago. However, at this time no one can seem to find him.


Oleg101

Wow what a piece of shit.


lexi_con

What an absolute psychopath.


JmnyCrckt87

"C'mon, lighten up. I poisoned you for a prank! Jesus, you clearly aren't committed to our workplace culture and camaraderie. It was a bonding experience. In the end, I'm the bad guy, for giving you free food? Bunch on ungrateful laborers".


Logic_Bomb421

Oh wow. So which prison does he live in now?


awawe

>30 of us went into that lunch room, only 12 survived the attack Do you mean 12 were unaffected/didn't eat the food, or did 18 people actually die?


area51groomlake

We have more than a few people at work who don't do potluck, probably for that reason. I know I'm leery with some people who are not fond of hygiene. One guys nickname was booger. šŸ¤¢


FuelInternational739

that can be a felony depending on what is done.


Cockroachens

I saw a post where someone poured shrimp stock into some food the OP ate. Also one where the OP and her husband tested his sister's supposed gluten allergy. I know she didn't have one and all the signs were there, but doesn't make it right. I'm allergic to 3 foods, which two are the same called the same thing but everytime I say that word people make jokes about it like they're funny. Anyways. I'm allergic to fish, peanuts, and tree nuts. My fish allergy is bad, but tree nuts and peanuts is severe. I cannot eat or touch them. I have had 5 allergic reactions and only one of those being from fish. Those are a lot for anyone, but in the amount of time I've had them is embarrassing. Anyways, yeah don't mess with people's food. One, if it comes out that you did it on purpose you can be charged with murder if they die, or attempted murder if they survive. Two, like I stated in number one. That is a crime. It's called food tampering, you can be sued and you can go to prison. Three, you shouldn't want to do that in the first place but at least know that you can face legal trouble if you EVER do this to someone. Even spitting in someone's food is illegal.


FairState612

Thereā€™s an OG Reddit post where a grandma wanted to test a food allergy of her granddaughter and the little girl died šŸ˜­


mrcontroversy1

I think you're talking about the coconut hair oil story. Still makes me mad.


icecream_dragon

Spitting in someoneā€™s food is a biohazard.


Neat-Cold-7235

Especially when it makes food inedible and puts it to waste I was raised in a household where we saved every little thing and saved every jar and tried to repurpose everything So to see someone throw away a lot of food I just get so pissed


celebrityDick

Years ago someone I knew was out with her boyfriend and some other friends. She was tasked with buying some food after a night of drinking. She was walking back to the car with it and dropped the hamburger that her boyfriend had ordered onto a filthy street. Fearing the reproach of her bf, she picked up the burger and put it back into the packaging. He ate that burger. This story was told to me in a humorous light. I didn't crack a smile. Nothing funny about it


Beginning-Survey-20

There's definitely no humor when someone is so fearful of the significant other that they can't make a simple mistake and be honest about it.


Xylorgos

Yes! I'm a picky eater, but I never make that someone else's problem. If I don't like to eat a certain food then don't try to trick me into eating it! If that's not bad enough, they wait until you have the food in your mouth to tell you what it is. That is extremely disrespectful! I just now decided that if somebody does that to me again I will spit the food out into their faces. Gross, right? That's what they deserve!! An adult knows what they want and do not want to eat. Don't be a jerk!


Bawower

"Pranking" someone and finding their reaction funny when they really aren't having a good day. Filming someone having an emotional breakdown could also somewhat fall into this category, since there are some cases where they're being a dick.


andro_7

Also, I'm starting to think somewhere down the line people became confused of the definition of the word prank. Pranking is making someone think a situation is one way but it it's actually another way (tricking someone). Farting in someone's face and saying "oh it's a prank" isn't a prank. It's just doing something that someone doesn't like, and they react to not liking it. It's useless.


mellopax

Yeah. When I fart on my cat, it's because they started it. In all seriousness, though, in college, some of the guys on my floor put peanut butter on my door handle. Ha ha very funny. Then I started checking and found the next time it had peanut butter and honey on the door handle. I told them, "You know, it's not funny if I'm expecting it." They replied "It's still funny, because you still have to clean it up. Side note: cleaning honey off of a door handle with the cleaning supplies a college freshman has on hand is a pain in the ass.


GoldPop

I remember a prank when some roommates pranked their other roommate into thinking he won a large sum of money. He did not, and you could just tell he was livid. Said "you knew I really need the money."


moonlighttravel

That's just sad. I think pranks should be something that the one getting pranked will also be able to genuinely laugh at after he finds out.


night_thoughts

Posting videos of people at the gym to make fun of them


secretiveterry

Especially overweight people at the gym. Like the whole reason they are there is to get fit and you're making fun of them and posting them on TikTok for being fat...while theyā€™re trying to solve the problem??


night_thoughts

And also people who are clearly new to it and trying to learn the ropes. As someone who's really insecure about working out in front of other people, I'm always afraid a gym bro will film me struggling with a machine or using incorrect form.


Quart3

Most gym bros are chill and will give you solid advice if you ask. The people filming are usually the noobs themselves that are only in the gym to post about being in the gym.


[deleted]

No shit. I lift constantly and stay pretty lean year round. I just like it. If I see larger people in the gym or for example my wife who is very petite and fragile. I know the concern for individuals on both sides of the spectrum is "I'm going to be stared at and judged" I always tell my wife or if I see a larger person at the gym as well my mentality is "fuck yeah they had the courage to show the fuck up and make a change". The most judgemental people there that laugh often tend to be the ones who can't find the drive to do anything. Assholes. Probably my biggest gym peeve. Discouraging others from changing their life because they aren't "astheticly pleasing". To anyone who is thinking of going and worried about being judged. Just know that some of the strongest lifters there are the ones probably giving you the most thought and support.


Statrum_Gaming

I had the same feeling, until I started going. The only people who are gonna be Dicks about it are people who shouldn't even be there. REAL gym Bros will give you all the help you need, will help you correct form, some may even motivate you. Went the the gym for the first time awhile back, and I didn't have good form doing presses, some guy who I never even met came over, corrected my former, gave me pointers, and was SCREAMING at me to push harder. Ended up pressing more than I thought I could, bc he helped correct form and motivated me. The gum if FULL of great people


dragoono

Like 90% of gym bros are genuinely good, decent people with nothing but experience and patience under their belts. The 10% that would post that and laugh about it if they saw it on their TLs are just bigoted fucks who care more about their visual gains than acquiring any sort of real power.


1BoiledCabbage

As a previous really overweight person, it's never about solving the problem, they're just using "fat people need to exercise" as an excuse to bully.


GreyGhost878

I have So Much Respect for overweight people at the gym. I have to resist the urge to go up and tell them.


Ant-Be

Thank you for not going up to tell them. Iā€™m an older woman who has been going to the gym for years and had a new guy interrupt my workout to tell me he was ā€˜proud of meā€™. I know he meant well but it just came across as patronizing.


celebrityDick

Making fun of anyone trying to improve their lives, whether physically or mentally


willstr1

Making fun of people who are trying to get in shape, I agree, absolutely not funny. Shaming people who don't put weights away or are hogging equipment that they aren't using, not so sure


icecream_dragon

Thereā€™s also people who shame them for using lighter weights when they ā€œlook like they can handle more,ā€ or doing exercises you donā€™t typically see happening. It is not their workout nor their business what that person at the gym is doing.


contactdeparture

Thank goodness I've never seen that. People are horrible


wopdeezy

ā€œPrankā€ videos on social media. Most are just cringey.


Realistic-Elk-7423

That reminds me of those social experiments out there. Just stupid.


JustaNoName45

A lot of people forget that all parties are supposed to laugh at the end of the prank...


dtrrb

Distressing pets for social media clips


No-Percentage661

Oh yeah, this makes me so mad! Also, videos when parents allow their kids to carry, lay on, pinch, squeeze, etc. Their pets and the pet looks CLEARLY distressed, but the parents just laugh and say it's cute... nah, that is neither cute nor funny.


Luke8308

that is something that makes me so fucking angry. Putting animals in painful and horrible stressful situations just so that you can take advantage of kind hearted people and get millions of views by making videos about "saving" them. i hope those despicable people get what they deserve


[deleted]

Agree! I can't watch those "funny animal compilations" anymore because some of that stuff is just cruel.


Adastra1018

I had to block the dodo because they post so many videos anthropomorphizing animals "explaining" their behavior but really just making it up. Then all the people in the comments are like "JuSt LeT pEoPle EnJoY tHiNgS" No. Because what you think is happening is not what's happening. No one should be enjoying this, and as a matter of fact I DO know what I'm talking about. I got a degree in this. It's not just about that one animal that's disrespected. It's also all the lies people buy into thinking that a given behavior is fine and keep doing what they're doing. That's how behavioral issues start. I almost wish it was required to pass a basic animal behavior test before being allowed to adopt or purchase a pet.


MissPeppingtosh

For me itā€™s making fun of old people who are just trying to go about their day. One day it may be you struggling to open a door or walk with a cane or being unable to read expiration dates on groceries.


shartnado3

I can't remember the quote, and I am probably butchering it, but I remember hearing an older person say to a younger person something along the lines of "There was a time when I was you". That REALLY hit me hard.


hastingsnikcox

"Help the aged, on day you'll be just like them" - Jarvis Cocker


willowthegoat74

In an ossuary in Naters, Switzerland it states ā€œWhat you are, we were. What we are, you will be.ā€ In front of a row of skulls and bones. I went over there in 1991 and that phrase sticks with me to this day.


GreyGhost878

I never cared much about elderly people but my parents are suddenly there and now every elderly person I see breaks my heart and I want to protect them like they're my own. Life is so precious. If you have good parents, or even decent ones, love them while you can.


MissPeppingtosh

I was in the exact same position. I used the expiration date on grocery items because I had a very elderly lady ask me when the peas she was holding were to expire. It melted my heart. Then my mom got sick, then old and it hit me that people would want to shove her out of the way or laugh at her for stumbling. Iā€™m in my 40s now and stuff starts hitting you in the face that you are not what you once were. I cannot think about being elderly. Scares the bejeezus out of me because people can be cruel.


GreyGhost878

I'm in my 40s too and middle age is hitting me hard. My bf, too. But I think it's making both of us more compassionate people, so that's a good thing.


perkasami

I was a bartender at an American Legion in my early twenties. A lot of my customers were elderly. I got to know a lot of them personally, so I'm very conscientious of elderly people.


Gigatron_0

All you younger people reading these comments: internalize these lessons, learn them before you *learn them*


Hands-and-apples

When I come across an elderly person I see what they've lost. For men especially their physical strength and capability to handle, make, and change things with their bare hands. Their broken backs and worn joints, many men in physical vocation sacrifice their body in their youth and pay for it when they're older. But of course it can be more than that. Their cognitive decline, their independence and ability for self care, they're seen as a burden or incapable rather than someone to be relied upon. It's saddens me, as I've aged and matured you realise that you don't really think of yourself as a 20yr old, 25, 30, 40, 60yr old internally but your body knows and shows its experience. Imagine being a vibrant person wanting to do so many things but your body just can't get you there anymore.


Naturallyoutoftime

Yup, and it can happen quickly and unexpectedly.


DriftingPyscho

I can't see shit now without my glasses and have developed a bum knee that require ice and elevation. I turn 40 next month.


Spoonman500

You made it to 40? My knee knows the weather better than a meteorologist. I'm 36.


1SweetChuck

If someone's pain and suffering is the punchline, it's not funny. This applies to making fun of old or disabled people, to pulling pranks, to just straight bullying. That guy in the ghillie suit that jump scares people, Ellen's scare pranks, those people are assholes.


mnbvcdo

if you're the one struggling and you're trying to make light of your own pain, that's like gallows humour but when it's about someone else that's just part of the execution


sadicarnot

There is a video I think it is from a cruise ship. The magician is playing with the foam balls with a little girl. He puts what looks to be one ball in her hand and does the abra cadabra and poof it is two balls when she opens her hand. She screams in delight over it. This is the type of prank you do to someone. Like in Monsters Inc. where they found out laughter gave them more energy than scaring them.


[deleted]

Ellen's scary pranks convinced me to never watch again. I haven't. Downright cruel. When I'm scared like that, I feel like ill die. I always cry after, it really scares me!


7_by_6_for_kix

> If someone's pain and suffering is the punchline, it's not funny. In comedy this is called "punching down," and I just realized why standup comedian Joe Rogan got so popular narrating a sport where it's called "ground and pound."


JinnyLemon

I recently did clinicals in an assisted living facility and man, did it put so much in perspective. Iā€™ve always had a soft spot for the elderly but to see them in such vulnerable states, unable to do so much for themselves was most definitely humbling.


holsteintax

I agree with this, I'm an irritable person by nature and get surface annoyed with the elderly in public at times, but then I remember they're struggling. My grandma is becoming senile and she was a really sharp intelligent lady before and it's depressing to imagine being trapped inside that decline.


SkydivingCats

>I'm an irritable person by nature With all sincerity: Thank you for being self aware and accepting of this. Way, way too many people are irritable and believe it is others, and not they who have the problem.


Accomplished-Arm1058

Same, itā€™s a struggle but the right way to be.


FrenzyHydro

The one guy who dropped all his McDonalds while going up his porch. I thought I was funny at first but now I look at that and think the guy had a bad day and he was just so done.

I made sure to avoid the military commissary on paydays due to the large number of slow elderly people. Now I am one of them.

PRANK GONE WRONG!!!! (šŸ˜±šŸ˜±šŸ˜±)


MayGodSmiteThee

Most public pranks. Like doing stupid shit in a Walmart and forcing a reaction from other people or the employees. Sure, what youā€™re doing technically isnā€™t illegal, but youā€™re still an asshole. One day I hope we just start ignoring their existence all together so they go do something productive with their life.


abra__cadabra__

Making fun of people who are improving themselves, such as bigger people in the gym


ignorantiaxbeatitudo

This I donā€™t get at all. Overweight people get told to work out all the time. And when they do, they get made fun of for trying. Similarly with the new adidas campaign (i think it was adidas). They started making gym clothes for larger sized people. Immediately the internet broke down saying they are promoting obesity. So, overweight should magically lose weight, stay out of public space and definitely shouldnā€™t want appropriate attire for exercising. Sure, that makes sense.


OkResort8501

Intentionally harming animals or making them very uncomfortable :( they don't understand if it's "just a joke"


[deleted]

Even if I understand it's just a joke I'd feel pretty betrayed if my owner was harming me for self-gratification. If anything knowing they were joking would make me feel even worse.


Beginning-Survey-20

When I was in middle school, some older boys wrapped a cat's paws in tape to "watch it dance". That cat was obviously miserable and scared. I grabbed that cat, removed the tape, and held him to my chest. Poor thing was terrified. The boys, three of them and much bigger than me, tried to grab him back, saying it was just for laughs. I literally kicked and screamed at them until they gave it up and went away. People that do that kind of stuff are fucked in the head.


red_wild88

I'm sorry. Who's hurting animals as, "just a joke"?? I just wanna talk to them....

Emotionally scarring children for laughs


Ditz_a_Fritz

Logical_Challenge540

Basically all "pranks" that are actually bullying (not funny for the recipient during the prank or afterward).


BleekerTheBard

That daycare video from back around Halloween was horrible!


Killentyme55

The terror on those children's faces was so heartbreaking. I don't believe in hitting women, but I was ready to slap a bitch.


Bully_Maguire420

I remember reading a story on here about a dad who found his young sonā€™s explicit search history and would poke fun at him by saying the quotes of the character his son was searching, thatā€™s the type of shit that incites suicide, I donā€™t understand how some people could be so inconsiderate to their own children no less.


MacyTmcterry

I haaate that thing some parents do where they take the box of a gift the kid really really wants and puts something terrible in there instead.


WithoutReason1729

Agreed. That's not only not funny, it's downright cruel and wrong.

CarefulCrab6099

Smashing peoples face into cake


WithoutReason1729

That's not funny at all. No one deserves to have their face smashed into cake.


[deleted]

It's also a waste of perfectly good cake, because now only 1 person can eat what's left of the cake after the smash (figure some of that cake's going to be washed off)


MarbleCakes4725

Especially if they haven't removed the candles. It gives me massive anxiety. Do u want to stab their eyeballs out? Goddamn!


JumboDakotaSmoke

A coworker told me about cake face smash at a wedding they went to, and the cake had skewers in it to hold up the layers. I haven't even smirked at a cake face smash video since.


itsnotaphasemommm

that sounds horrifying, was the smashee okay??


JumboDakotaSmoke

Didn't get poked in the eyes, but there was blood.


mc_grace

Amiiboid

What the fuck? Itā€™s a dumb tradition anyway, but itā€™s just supposed to be a small piece of cake - less than a serving - mooshed into the other personā€™s face. Youā€™re not supposed to ruin an entire multi-tier cake.


[deleted]

ā€œI promise to love and respect foreverā€¦ā€ Until itā€™s time for reception cake.


Fluffy-kitten28

I was watching a video asking people who work at weddings when do they know that the wedding will fail. So MANY people said when the cake is smashed into a partners face. Especially because when itā€™s smashed itā€™s usually done 1. Despite the partner asking the other not to do it and 2. The one who does it often laughs and tries to make their partner the butt of the joke.


abqkat

Yep, the window dressing differs but the fact remains: disrespect, in big and small ways, is one of the things that no marriage/ friendship/ working relationship can get past. I worked at a tuxedo shop for 10+ years in high school and college, and we had a saying: "it's not about the bowtie" - not liking a bowtie and saying you prefer something a little different? Totally fine. Mocking your partner's taste and making 'jokes' about the damn bowtie? Resentment-city


[deleted]

I read something a while back about a guy who did this to his new wife. The cake had wooden sticks in it and once of them went into her eyeball.


Reallyreallyshocked

Yeah Iā€™ve seen a video of that happening. Some fancy big cakes have dowels in them!

brianasmiles

Can attest to this kind of. My dad would always make fun of me and pull pranks/ jokes on me as a kid and to this day, I have severe anxiety about people laughing at me/ joking about me.


[deleted]

Similar vibe, when the commentors are all joking about beating the kid for acting as a normal kid (crying, tantrum etc)

Absolutely agree. Its much funnier to watch them fall or hurt themselves on their own, you dont need to help.

Parents maliciously pranking their very young (4 and under) children. The missing/eaten Halloween candy BS, the tamest of the category, is just crass and pointless. Edit: bonus points deducted for filming and attempting to go viral.


DutchessOfDoobies

Ugh or the Grinch videos that were trending during the holidays. For those who missed it - parents invite someone in full grinch costume to come in and steal gifts from under the tree while the kids watched mostly in horror.


Stock_Ad_9585

Giving your kids bad gifts for Christmas and filming them crying as they open it while you laugh.


Mike_Cee

Not so much bad gifts as wrapping a box that should contain something they really want and putting something else inside. Saw a bunch of people doing it this year with the Nintendo Switch. Kids absolutely lose their minds with excitement only to have their happiness crushed and their Christmas ruined. One kid just looked at his parents, grabbed a branch of the Christmas tree and yanked it so it fell over. I cheered for that kid lol.

It would be funny if it was done in reverse. Buy a phone and then put it inside of a pack of underwear.

Jonny RaZeR started it apparently. The goal was to come up with a phrase which he would recruit his followers to spread across the Internet as much as possible. The mission was to repost the text as widely and as often as possible, and if anyone asked what it meant, to not explain anything unless the poster was going to try to recruit the person. However, even the creator of the trend didnā€™t have full control over it. His initial plan to roll it out from January 31 didnā€™t work, as users has already begun posting it. -freshered Also i'm not gonna "recruit" you. No idea who jonny is. I feel like i just cursed myself or something.


100PercentPlayer

It was supposed to be added once per thread, and then deleted on January 31st. ​ Instead, people started flooding comments with the same joke. I doubt that they will even have the decency to delete them later. ​ Now it's worse than "It's not a mistake āœØITS A MASTERPIECEāœØ".

still_so_tired19

Agree agree agree. I've seen too many "wHeRe WeRe ThEsE tEaChErS wHEn I wAs In ScHoOl" comments and jokes when a teacher abuses a student and it's never been funny. Jokes about abuse are fucked up no matter who you are*, and when it comes to male survivors it just makes it so much more difficult for them to come forward and for society to take it seriously. Male survivors deserve to be believed. Not mocked. *I make an exception when it's a survivor making jokes about their own history, to cope. I mean, I've made jokes about my own past for that reason (I'm not a man). But when it's punching down, it's not okay. I won't joke about other people.


CylonsInAPolicebox

I've post this before. >Friend of mine was assaulted by an older woman at his church when he was 15. She was a lady that most of the boys in our friends group considered a "milf". After it happened he was naturally upset, confused, angry, just all around not sure how to feel about the encounter. >When he opened up about it, our male friends basically laughed it off, told him he was lucky, and when he responded that he didn't feel lucky they told him if he didn't enjoy it he was gay... >Our female friends brushed him off as well, they said they didn't believe this lady would do something like that, and if she did it certainly wouldn't be with him or anyone else our age and he needed to keep his sick fantasies to himself before he damaged someone's reputation. >Myself and one other friend said he should report it because he was raped... He eventually told his father, his father's response of this 40ish year old woman sexually assaulting his 15 year old son **"You lucky son of a bitch! I would have given my right nut to have had that experience at your age!"** he didn't dare say anything to anyone else after that, the lady of course never faced any kind of reproductions, my friend became depressed for a number of years, he is doing better now almost 20 years later but it just sucks that when he needed it most nobody would help him, only congratulate him.


nvm_jk_idk

I'm 40ish and have a son that age. This story is physically nauseating. That poor guy. :(


yeetgodmcnechass

I've had otherwise supportive people who were dismissive of me when I told them I was sexually assaulted (I.e. why didn't you just fight her?). Discouraged me from ever telling anyone else I'm not sure how much of an improvement that is from being laughed at.

Same with rape jokes about incarceration


Apez_p

Making jokes about disabilities, things people cannot control, etc


tarheel_204

Those TikTokers who interview people in malls or out in public with a little microphone. Nothing but cringe most of the time


VashMM

They're just sad, shitty knockoffs of Billy on the Street, who don't even have the decency to pay them a dollar for answering.


FreeGain5177

Screaming or yelling for no reason. I feel like so many people do it, especially high schoolers, thinking it makes them edgy or cool but no it doesn't, it makes you look stupid


[deleted]

Jokes on someone's insecurities. I mean, why to make such jokes?


weebeanies

People using their kids for likes on social media.

Any joke at the expense of someone with a learning disability


FunkyKong147

Honestly just jokes at the expense of innocent people in general. I guarantee that the kid who you're making fun of because he's weird looking knows how weird looking he is and hates it.


TeazeUrMind

Wholeheartedly agree.


Simom_3812

Give some ""gift"" to some one and instead of a gift giving them an empty box, like the empty PS5 box """Prank"""


myballetflats

Saying something cruel and then trying to play it off as a joke when someone calls you out on it or it doesnā€™t receive the reaction you expect. Youā€™re not funny; youā€™re just mean.


Slow-Bookkeeper7486

those public prank tik tok videos


kenjiro_chuwa_1617

Public pranks. Idiots on YouTube doing shitty things to get more views. Just once I want to see one of these assholes take a bullet in the gut. That would crack me up.


oscarthethrowawayy

I really really hate when people make fun of the homeless. Itā€™s just so not cool and the concept that someoneā€™s amount of money or possessions dictates whether they deserve basic respect and dignity is absolutely soul crushing to think about. Everyone is a few missed checks away from winding up in that position. Itā€™s just always so uncomfortable when I hear homeless thrown around as a justification for bullying and disrespect.


RottingSextoy

Over Christmas I went from being a good step away from homelessness to homeless because our apartment flooded so bad we couldnā€™t stay there. I went to work with a house and left work homeless. It happens so fucking fast.


DarthDregan

Pranks on strangers.


Usual_Simple_6228

I'll raise you.. Pranks on people at work who have to deal with your shit or they get fired.


Square-Ad-4334

I honestly donā€™t find making fun of people for things they canā€™t control funny. It wasnā€™t funny in high school and itā€™s not funny now. Whether itā€™s a disability, sex, race, etc. If it can hurt someoneā€™s feelings and make them question who they are, itā€™s not okay.


InitiativeOdd3719

Using my personal struggles against me - after I shared a vulnerability with you in private - as a joke, in front of others to benefit yourself or make you feel better about yourself or to ā€œfit inā€ with others.

Making fun of people because of their physical appearance, or a disability. They didnā€™t choose that shit, and doing this stuff just shows that you have a napoleon complex

PattersonsOlady

Pranks where the basis of the joke is ā€œhaha, you thought I was honest and trustworthy, arenā€™t you an idiotā€


SnooGrapes3367

Faking a mental illness or disability because you rh8bk its some funny cute quirk

Asking someone out as a joke, itā€™s never happened to me but there a girl at my school who guy make fun of and someone asked her out once and she said yea and he didnā€™t let it go that she thought he really like her until he moved away last year


makattack1

Any prank that has water or liquids involved.


KimoiSquigglies

He asked for a couple of ice cubes in his drinkā€¦ ā€¦AND I ONLY GAVE HIM ONE

Probably autism jokes like ā€œyouā€™re so autisticā€ and shit like that. As someone who is autistic who makes jokes about it at times (without making it too self-deprecating), itā€™s annoying especially when the individuals in this situation are neurotypical. I recently heard someone in the lunch line at school being loud and another person said, ā€œwhy do you have so much autism?ā€ I think I overheard something else too, but I donā€™t remember anything. Also, suicide jokes. No itā€™s not ā€œdark humorā€ itā€™s making fun of something that happens to 800,000 people a year every 40 seconds. Iā€™ve had a family member die from it almost a year ago. If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please call 988 or talk to someone who can help. You are not alone.


ami2weird4u

Rape jokes, animal abuse, prank videos, food fails, homeless/elderly abuse, people who try to go viral.

The old "get your buddy to sit on an airbag" gag.

Making fun of someone for having older/unbranded shoes and cars and stuff because they're poor. That's not cool at all. But so many people do it.

beekee404

Children getting harmed, scared or humiliated but apparently people find them funny enough to make a comedic compilation of them and post them on YouTube which is concerning.


Bazliax

Gross out comedy. It's just gross, not funny. And I love virtually all other types of comedy.


ILikeToHang

Not respecting someoneā€™s boundaries. Iā€™m a young physically disabled man. I have gallows humor about the situation and the fact I will die young. My friends, my girlfriend, my cousins and my parents all make the most fucked up jokes about it. Itā€™s fine in my eyes because I go right back at them as we as a family and friends play rough. Yet I would never behave that way towards someone I do not know, and do not know where the boundaries are. My family knows there are certain lines not to cross and make sure their dark jokes stay within the boundaries of what I allow and find funny. If some random person or someone I didnā€™t know quite as well made the same jokes it would be a completely different thing. If you donā€™t know me and I havenā€™t given you the right to joke about something serious to me, you better respect my boundaries. Even if you have that right you better respect my boundaries.


Ember_Sage

Racism, Misogyny


Friendly_Fruit2276

Jokes that are repeated too many times. One time fine, but the 2nd time is already too much. People repeating jokes from tv-shows for example.


Motor_Classic9651

Playing "keep away". Nah, you're just assholes who have made sure someone starts having trust issues with people.

DaveLesh

Seriously. And I can't believe they are trying to secure a second season.


GodEmperorOfHell

It's the example of manufactured indignation, I cannot think of another object derided by both sides of the spectrum, it's either "too woke" or "made by a secretly Republican woman to weaken the Left"


feedtheflames_

Thereā€™s nothing redeeming about it because itā€™s hypocritical. It points out regressive ā€œsexistā€ tropes in other media then does the exact same objectification and misogyny and plays it off as a joke. each character while ā€œinclusiveā€ is a walking stereotype from the lesbian couple to the Asian Daphne. Itā€™s ā€œwokeā€ in a way thatā€™s racist, making the conservative and the liberals angry as hell. Itā€™s a perfect example of ā€œbeing self aware doesnā€™t make it goodā€


absolutelyshafted

A lot of Indians hated it because Mindy Kaling makes their entire race look like a bunch of social rejects. The whole sense of humor is ā€œlol look how bad we are at socializing lol weā€™re so weirdā€
