i've been begging for over 5 years.
I think any subject is ok depending on the context that the joke is told in. If you use comedy to attack, insult, bully, or discriminate against a people, race, gender, or sexuality, then that totally crosses a line, as well as blatant disrespect or disregard for a tragedy, and that's not acceptable in my mind. However, I think humor can be found nearly anywhere if you approach it in the right way. Of course, some people have different preferences and will be offended even if you slightly touch on a sensitive topic, but that's always going to happen if you don't practice clean comedy.
Agree.
it's all about the approach and skill of the comedian. What comes to mind is someone like Larry David who can find and extract humor in things like the Holocaust and 9/11 attacks.
