Reply #48: Sexual innuendo *can* be funny if it's done correctly.

[Blue-Jay]

That is to say that it's never always funny unless you are the emotional equivalent of a 13 year old boy.

For example, I remember one of the Baldwins (Daniel maybe?) being in a sketch comedy show (was it The State?) where his character had a catch-phrase of "I wanna dip my balls in it". The sketch was funny, because it was making fun of some office loser who resorted to that sort of base humor on every occasion. The sketch was funny because it was lampooning a dumbass who was decidedly not funny.

Additionally, there's the more recent example of Steve Carrell (Michael) on The Office with his unfunny go to phrase of "That's what she said." Again, REAL comedians/writers are pointing out the idiocy of the sadsacks who resort to tired old "dick jokes" as a means of gaining acceptance and/or popularity in one way or another.

That said, I'm a huge fan of dick/fart jokes. They just need to be FUNNY. Not 13 year-old funny, but actually funny. Humor and sexual innuendo often cross paths, but they are NOT the same thing. I don't wanna hear about your dick, tits, ballsack, ass, vag, or anything else unless it Makes Me Laugh. (And, no, I'm not 13.) If you don't know the difference, you're probably doing it wrong.
