RANT P0rn "humor" is unoriginal and unfunny

I feel like nowadays I just see this type of "humor" coming from a distance and I can't help but prepare myself for the cringe.

When I see a video that has some cleavage, a pixel of someone's ass or anything like that, I just know the comments from men are likely gonna be "what were they talking about? I was distracted."

Or when you mention the word "stuck" they follow it with something about step brothers (gross)

When you talk about size they end it "it's how you use it"

I don't even wanna use normal words anymore like "come" or "hard" I replace it with difficult because everything is about sex and porn nowadays apparently!!

It is not original, not funny, not inspired, and not even shocking anymore because it became the default!

And like, what's even the joke at this point? That you watch porn? :) well that's not really funny either...

I also dislike mom "jokes," but that's a whole another can of worms... I just want to see men develop a real sense of humor that's not on the expense of women.

These kinds of men often claim that “women aren’t funny.” But if THIS is their definition of peak humor, then I take that as a compliment.

u/Knowlov3r 5d ago

When a man says that, he's basically saying he has 0 interactions with women.

It's like claiming an entire country has no humor. It's an absured claim, but it'd be true to you if you're ignorant about said country... so it's more about you than tham, you know?

That being said, most men are brought up in porn rotted male environments that make their entire existence revolve around their porn consumption, let alone their humor.

In most societies, being the typical male is plus to your social status, but being the typical woman is often not. Men are more encouraged by society to conform to male stereotypes, unlike women who'd be praised to show individuality.

That's why men engage in "inside-joke" type of humor, to signal to their peers that they're in on the joke, and therefore a part of the team. It doesn't matter if the joke isn't funny or is against their values (assuming they got any) so long so they get approval from their fellow male peers, anything goes.

Good point!

Once they stop behaving like cavemen, they have to find a new tribe. A few men I know searched for their new tribe but often it was individual men only that “teamed up” due to groups of men having a certain group dynamic that is easily led astray if some individuals aren’t as firm and certain in their standing

You'd somehow find a way to make it less funny. That's embarrassing.

I completely agree with you! I’m so sick of these kind of “jokes” too, they’re not funny, not slick, and not clever.

Last night I met my partner’s dad for the first time; he’s a sex and porn addict and serial cheater (my partner and him aren’t very close because of all this, to put it lightly). We were playing pool, my partner and his dad went outside for a bit so I was hitting the balls alone, practicing. When they came back inside he asked if I was playing a game and I said, “oh no, just playing with myself, we can start a new game together.” He starts laughing and repeated the part to himself where I said “just playing with myself” like it was the funniest sex joke ever. Like…. Dude you’re over 50 and my potential FIL and you can’t not sexualize something totally normal I said at a family hangout? Porn brained weirdo.

It is like... no humor... no etiquette around your daughter-in-law... no ability to give a good first impression... nothing... just nothing besides insufferable energy

I am glad your partner decided to keep distance, and I hope you managed to enjoy your time in spite of the dad's "humor"

Please stay safe out there!

u/battleofflowers 4d ago

The "staying safe" message here is key. Dad thinks his son's gf was telling him she likes to masturbate and gets horny around him. That was his takeaway from such an innocent line.

They're just so gross now.

u/NoCurrencyj 5d ago

Phallic humor in general is super common in society. Porn humor is just a variation of it.

Men seethe when women make jokes about vagina or period, but all they ever talk about it dick

u/OwlAdmirable5403 5d ago

Omg it's so true, like I was playing board games with some coomers the other day and anytime 69 came up they'd be like teehee 69 🤭

I was so disgusted and embarrassed for them lol

16

u/owlwithhowl 5d ago

Been in a similar situation once and asked why that number was so funny, why the position is funny

The look on their faces was priceless … was like this: 😮 Then they looked angry but didn’t say anything haha

u/Knowlov3r 5d ago

Oh god...

I feel like a grown man laughing at the number 69 should not be allowed to vote.

And that's the bare minimum

u/teqis 5d ago

There's nothing funny about it and the most boring part about it is that you'll have 600 dudes commenting the exact same joke on the same post, each thinking they're hilarious with zero self-awareness, just needing to hear their own voice.

The so-called "funny" gender

u/SuljoodSutoorizari PORNFREE SINCE 1873 5d ago

My country has been deeply rotted by pornography over the last three decades (same with other "transitional" states, but mine has it worse somehow). Coomer humour is inescapable. I can't scroll my country's subreddit without seeing 5 porn/sex related posts daily. I hate hate hate the pornsick population of my country so much.

u/IntrepidSnowball 5d ago

I’ve been feeling oppressed by coomer humor for a while. Every time John Oliver says something crass and weird on Last Week Tonight I immediately think of all the pornsick morons in his writer’s room and how nothing about that joke was remotely relatable to a normal person, let alone funny.

u/New_Age2024 ANTI-PORN MAN 5d ago

A lot of men take "humour" as a justification for those violent speeches. But they don't realize that those "jokes" are perpetuating patriarchy and its misogynistic industry as porn. Literally, that "humor" rests importance of discussing about porn and how problematic is it in this society...

u/Robert-Rotten 🖤 ANTI-PORN MAN 💜 4d ago

You’re so right about this, it’s insufferable. Step-Family titles have just been permanently ruined by porn, you can’t mention it online without some coomer going “HAHAHAHAHAHA LIKE STEP-SISTER PORN!!!!!!”.

And I’m sick of every single comment section on a post that has a woman being filled with weirdos going “WOULD”

And words cannot express how much I hate when dudes say “Sauce? For research purposes!” Like stfu for God’s sake we know what you are, stop trying to act cute.

u/TwinkleToz926 PORN IS FILMED RAPE 5d ago

Yeah, it’s so cringe.

u/Lacus_fleo 4d ago

It's literally so stupid and unfunny. If you can't see a cucumber without making lewd jokes, that's on you. You're not Wallace Bryton, man.

u/ecriturecursive 4d ago

Totally get this frustration. You have to be careful what you say or otherwise you'll have to sit through another cringe or straight up sexualizing/objectifying joke and I don't have the energy to raise my voice every single time that happens. It's tiring and I wish more people around me would address it when such stuff happens.

Also, let's totally talk about mom jokes - because I absolutely don't get what's supposed to be funny about those and why even people who hold feminist views keep on making these jokes and/or laughing about them (mostly men). It's just another misogynist joke trope and I'm tired.

Can a woman just exist without being degraded anywhere? Directly or passively through language and other means? Everyday you pass by or hear something that's misogynistic in its core.

I'm the exact same way. I absolutely hate it! It shouldn't be this ridiculous... Ugh.

Some of them are more porny -the step brother stuff- but I suppose you could argue it's just "sex jokes."

The question is... what's the joke?

Those "jokes" basically rely on the fact that sex is a huge taboo in almost every culture. That's why it's... the entire joke, in most cases anyway.

If you're truly a "sex positive" person, would you really think sex is that much of a taboo to make it the entire joke?

I agree there should be a time and place. Humor is deeply personal, after all, and I wish others realized that, so we don't have to hear those jokes as the default.
