Comedy has a duty to be funny ... that's it. Distastefulness kicks in when humour fails ... if the purpose of a comment is to genuinely make people laugh, I don't see a problem. The problems begin when the intention is to be hurtful, belittle or to ridicule. Rog Humour is subjective. I didn't find Jim's wheeze comment offensive..tbh I didn't even tie it to asthma Sons Expedition is called Mad Explorers...thats a deliberate play on the word 'Mad' in that not only is it a crazy adventure they are trying to achieve that u would have to be Mad to contemplate it but also its to do with mental health issues. By bringing it into the open its acknowledging it. The same with humour if subjects are taboo surely that makes them shameful to mention? I think it very much depends on how the subject matter is portrayed...if ridicule or mocking is method of choice makes me cringe and becomes offensive no matter what the subject. Some of the funniest comics make us laugh without resorting to this.

that will be a jolly wheeze. Offensive. Would you crack a joke about someone with Turrets? I had a chat with a friend who actually has got tourettes about this and he found your deliberate misspelling of the word for the purposes of introducing humour quite offensive. All he could say at the time was "fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck".

There there dear. Would you like a cup of tea? Is you chair ok and not damp? Chair is fine, it's plastic covered.
