That's your opinion. Please don't come to this section at all if it offends you.

 

Yes that's my opinion and I am quite sure I am not the only one. It's a public forum, all kinds of people are registered and some women too. Apart from the bad taste many of Tony's jokes are downright disrespectful and derogatory towards women. That's a fact.

 

I am not that easily offended, don't worry.

Let's face it, you have to pay for a tv licence and see/hear far worse. This forum is free. Tony

So you had emails from every single forum member? I doubt it. Just because your mates around here and some others pat you on the back and laugh about them don't make some of your jokes less disgusting. No offense but the fact you are telling them at all says a lot about you.

OH MY........  i knew better than to come in here. 

 

We are censoring jokes now?  Jokes are jokes.  Either good or bad, tasteless or child friendly.  The more tasteless the better.

 

If you dont need to look over both shoulder before telling a joke quietly, it isn't funny.

 

Racist, sexist, ethnic, religious or just completely uncool... it doesn't matter.

 

What if the best jokes, comedians and humorists of our time were PC all of the time.  Come on!

 

In fact a tasteless joke is ONLY funny when told by someone who OBVIOUSLY does not embody the spirit of the joke.  Then they are the best ones possible.

 

A racist telling a racist joke isn't a joke at all.  It is a lame attempt at humor while making sure everyone knows their ideology at the same time. 

 

Remember... trying to be funny is not that same as telling a joke.

 

Derogatory and disrespectful?  That is the whole point!

 

Sincerely,

Mr. No Stick In Ass

Dear Mr. No Stick in Ass,

 

I guess the 'pc' in your name doesn't stand for 'politically correct'.

 

+1 by the way.

+1 with Steve. 

Posted on: 11 May 2012 by Tony Lockhart

Blimey. PCStockton's post should be used as a Sticky for the whole forum. Well said, and thanks for making me feel a lot better. Seriously.

Puritanism was the first popular form of Fascism. And Political Correctness grew straight out of Puritanism. In every way "PC" is to be deplored. Nothing like ribbing someone in their weak spot to remove their pomposity!

 

No wonder the very humouous Catholics think that the Reformation was a spiritual disaster.

 

I think they have a point.

CADBURY are giving the government a giant chocolate bar. they reckon it will be a massive boost to the economy

 

Two drunken fellas chatting in a bar. The first one says, "You know, when I was 20 and got a hard-on, I couldn't bend it with either of my hands. By the time I was 30, I could bend it about 10 degrees if I tried really hard. By the time I was 40, I could bend it about 20 degrees, no problem. I'm gonna be 50 next week, and now I can almost bend it in half with just one hand" "So, says the second fella, what's your point?" "Well, says the first, I'm just wondering how much stronger I'm gonna get!"

 

My wife phoned me at work today.
"Its so cold that my windows have frozen!" she shouted.
"Calm down" I said "just spray some de-icer, that'll sort it."
20 minutes later I called her back.
"So has the de-icer worked?" I asked.
"Not really" she said "when I used it there was a lot of smoke, a bang and now my computer won't turn on."

I can read very well thank you but maybe you need to read what's been written again to get it. As for my tolerance, I got plenty of it, thanks for your concern. 

 

In any case this thread is named best jokes not worst jokes or let's put down all the jokes you know.

 

TBH most of them suck!

 

Cheers

"from forum members" is NOT ALL forum members.

 

Why do you insist on being hear if it's so sucky? Troll perhaps?

All nice and well Mr Anything Goes, fact remains it's a Naim forum, a hifi forum, not a tell all the sickest jokes forum. Nothing to do with PC.

 

Here's just one example of Tony's sense of humour:

You can say all you want it won't change the fact that hardly any woman will laugh about that one.

 

There is a line somewhere and if Tony can't see it maybe someone needs to point it out for him.

Exactly, some forum members, that's why it doesn't mean anything, doh!!!! 

 

Take a course in thinking, it might get you there eventually.

OK, I think it's time to get back on thread.  The arguments here are starting to get too personal.  This thread is moderated with as light a touch as possible.  There are some great jokes here, and some not so great, but that's just my opinion. Trouble with jokes is where to stop once you start the pruning.  I've only had to cut a handful of jokes over the years, and mostly where a member has taken particular offence or I have deemed it overtly offensive to the greater majority.  PC Stockton's post is a good one and I think hits the spot here.

Posted on: 11 May 2012 by George Fredrik

Rather in the line of the old chestnut about what is the difference between a wife and a job? "After seven years a job still sucks."

 

Really some people do need to grow slightly thicker skins, as there is absolutely no end to the offence that could be taken for any comment in daily life.

 

Dear totemphile, perhaps you could make it your honourary duty to look at every piece of wit posted here and immediately post an "apporoved" or "too bad" response.

 

I think most people do understand what is actually beyond remotely humourous, and such examples do actually get deleted rather fast by the official moderation. It is Naim's forum after all ...

That's just bollocks George and you know it. Just because you are mates with Tony doesn't mean you have to defend anything. 

 

Botom line, some of Tony's jokes are well out of order. Nobody else here feels the need to tell as many fu**ed up jokes as he does. 

 

Why is that?

Dear totemphile,

 

I don't know Tony, beyond his posts here, have never shared emails with him, and certainly don't him personally.

 

I am in personal contact with no more than a handful here. but I do agree with Voltaire; "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend with my life your right to say it."

 

I would suggest to you that if the posts here [on this thread] are not acceptable to you that you stop looking at the thread. I don't especially care for some of the jokes, but the least is that I simply think to myself that this or that was not funny to me.

 

The world is s funny place. In Britain we do not accept Racism, but in some territories it is normal. In some terrotories homosexuality is completely un-aceptable, in some territories ...

 

Cultural differences are what they are. Also things evolve and gradually change. Perhaps you are ahead of the game. Sometime I regret the progress that has already been made.

 

But the moderators of this Forum - not you - set the standard that is accepted here.

 

No doubt you contribution has been noted by "higher authority" as used to be said in other terrritories - historically speaking ...

My personal view is that to be offended by speech, one must actually choose to be offended.

Posted on: 11 May 2012 by PJT

 

If you are offended, either don't follow the thread or harden up...

PJT,

 

The only way anyone could improve that video would be to have the real Chopper in it. Brilliant. 

 

I wonder if our own Charles Bronson could do something similar if he's ever released?
