Absurdity is its own category. Generally the idea of babies in microwaves is so rare and absurd that pretty much no one is going to have a rough experience to color their view of that joke. When you add that level of ridiculousness, it helps.

And if you're not good at telling jokes without upsetting people, you could easily take a step back and question WHY you're telling the joke. Do you want to make people laugh? Well clearly that's not working. Change your approach.

When people make an assumption for the worst you say they shouldn't, but why should they make an assumption for the best? I've heard jokes from men about abusing and hitting women and I just figured it was a joke, until I found out they actually do those things. So I don't think it's out of line when some one makes jokes at some one's expense to think they're in support of that person suffering for their own amusement.

Many people have experience with dead babies, though. The "baby in a microwave" joke series includes all kinds of jokes about dead babies that end up pretty much everywhere. It is a very unpleasant topic to many folks out there, especially those who suffered miscarriages.

And if you're not good at telling jokes without upsetting people, you could easily take a step back and question WHY you're telling the joke. Do you want to make people laugh? Well clearly that's not working. Change your approach.

That's true, but it has nothing do with harmfulness/harmlessness of any particular type of jokes. Besides, not all jokes are told in order to make people laugh.

People shouldn't make any assumptions. People should just look and make judgements based on what they see. Sometimes they will be mistaken, yeah, but sometimes!=always. In fact, sometimes!=often. Those not suffering from any kind of disorders are normally pretty good at determining these things.

DA
Why would you be telling jokes if it wasn't for the intent of making people laugh? I'm genuinely curious here.

Sorry for being epically late, but

- sarcasm, for one, is usually not a means to make people laugh, and neither is irony. Many jokes are told in order to express one's feelings regarding something (unpleasant). Some are used as a way of coping with shock or stress. They may also be employed to formulate one's ideas in a paradoxical and elegant way.

They may just be there to remind people of those aspects of our existence that seem ironical - in fact, this function is the one many jokes used to carry prior to the seventeenth century (see perspective jokes in paintings, for one. I don't think people laughed at that).

this also applies to the idea of a hobbit date raping an elf
