Don't make me feel old. That's not nice! But yeah I know. It's just still such a gut punch.
George Carlin was first.
Joan Rivers got there just after.
We've been laughing at jokes about 911 for ages. Being edgy isn't new, even boomers do it
I remember Gilbert Gottfried at a Friar's Club roast. Can't remember what the actual joke was, but I remember he lost the whole audience, and then won them back with a spontaneous telling of "The Aristocrats"
Kudos for Carlin, who made fun of government propaganda. Maybe not so much for Joan Rivers for making fun of FDNY widows.
(I'm not a boomer, though. Or a millennial. Or really that edgy anymore, if I ever was....)
Oh I know. And there's some lessening of the emotions, I'm not enraged by the jokes this time. Just...sad.
Millennials in NY were cracking dark jokes about 9/11 in high school. “Too soon” never existed for some of us.
That's coping humor. There's no stopping that.
Exactly. I was in class when we saw the crash on TV, we're allowed to joke about it.
This is going to be "too soon" until all of the millennials are dead.
Everyone outside the US are over it, especially considering the war to follow
Yeah I can see that.
It's been 22.3 years since 9/11 though.

Maybe, but we're already dead inside.
