well after my brother blew his head off with a " 45 caliber, desert eagle " I don t find them funny very "ofter", but, I don t think they are any more isensitive than alot of other jokes out there.
-
I don't think there is anything funny about suicide. There are a lot of jokes that are insensitive and that I don't find funny, but suicide jokes cross the line.
-
I think I would need to judge them on a case by case basis. I can see how they could be grossly insensitive and offensive, but there is also a small window of opportunity for them to be tasteless, but funny. For example, some of the Darwin Awards involving suicide are funny, in a very sad way.

I agree with mystikaldreams. There are a few subjects I just think are best not joked about, and suicide is one of them. Edit: While I find most jokes about "death in general" to be OK (some more OK than others) I find jokes about killing or suicide to be in poor taste and insensitve.

I think it can be a way to cope with the tragedy of suicide, as a kind of therapy. For instance, it would be good for people wo made an attempted suicide to be able to laugh about it. If we tell these kind of jokes, we must always consider the possibility that we could hurt someone, so better give a warning before. And some jokes can be also very tasteless, I would never use them. I find this "suicide bomber" joke funny, but it is a particular kind of suicide: (and nobody of my friends and family was involved in such a bombing) http://www.boreme.com/boreme/funny-2005/terrorist-school-p1.php

I've laughed at jokes about EVERYTHING offensive. Just name something and I've probably laughed about it.
-
i think they have potential, but i lost a friend to suicide so i'd probably just think of that and get bummed out.
-
well I am not dying to find out.
-
depends on my mood. if i am feeling melancholic and depressed then insensitive... if its one of those really out there jokes and i was feeling calm and cheerful then maybe kinda funny.. but in general not really into those jokes.
-
Insensitive is definitely a better word. I don't take them as any personal offense, I can understand how some people could find them funny, but I myself don't. The vast majority of people who tell jokes about death or suicide probably haven't had much experience with it, I'm sure if they had they would be giving it the respect it deserves. It's hard to laugh in the face of death once you've actually seen it.
-
well people who have gone through grife for suicide like me my big brother hung hinself and i hate how people joke about it. there is nothing to joke about suicide.
-
Insensitive in my opinion, i think its cruel to joke about this particular subject, but some might disagree.
-
I think that its one of those things that you really should not laugh at. What if someone lost a loved one to suicide and heard a joke like that? Very poor taste. There are some even sicker things that people joke about, sadly. Some people are scarily inhuman.
-
funny why not make a joke about it. but try to make daeth sound funny and lame that way people reconsider.
