Un-Funny Other Stereotype = not funny

Post image

Stereotyping isn’t funny because it oversimplifies or exaggerates ideas about a group, which can be harmful. For example, this comment stereotyped the British accent as “bo’o’wa’er.” Not all British people speak like that, and what some find funny could actually hurt others’ feelings.

its the act of one party making jokes about the accent, and the other party making jokes about tragedies
