Help Incorporating suicide into comedy

[ma0]

I really wanna know some good ways I can incorporate death and suicide into jokes that won't make my friends feel uncomfortable.

This is mainly for me, because I feel like right now death just seems so real to me, and I want to sort of desensitize myself to those topics if I wanna eventually be ready to CTB.

I've already said some very basic things, like "If this happens I swear to god I will hang myself" and other surface level stuff like that, but I wanna build on it a lot more.

I already have some friends who have attempted CTB and failed, but I also have other who are repulsed by the idea, and I don't wanna freak them out or anything.

Any advice would be appreciated!

For some people it is an uncomfortable and sensitive topic and I think you should respect that. Some have trauma associated with it, some just don't want to joke or hear jokes about it. Being on this forum is already a good way to desensitize yourself to the topic, you don't really need to bring unwilling parties into it. My best advice is to not push the envelope. If you don't want to freak them out then don't do things that you know people are sensitive towards.

I've got invisible Karate Monkey that talks about suicide and death all time.
It's a great ice breaker when the subject comes up.

I'm not sure what types of jokes you're looking for, but I like how it is done in the manga, Mahoraba~ :) One of the characters is perpetually unlucky [unfortunately, I can relate :(] and incompetent, so they'll constantly try to sewer slide after every misfortune, but they always fail, so nobody pays attention to it until another new person sees her hanging from a tree and freaks out until the attempt fails~ rofl~

Having been on the site for a significantly longer period than 2 days, I've never heard of "Karate Monkey" before~ It's probably just Tig's personal gimmick~

Wow, that's so cool. All I've got is this stupid suicidal clown who keeps on sending me inappropriate clown pics. As a jester, I fucking hate clowns, especially this ugly ass motherfucker.

Just a little break in the routine, perhaps a giggle or cool blow to relieve the tension.

My Karate Monkey is a fictional character I created to make me laugh Instead of cry or act out in anger when the world vexes me.
I speak of him frequently, my friends and acquaintances think I'm crazy when I do so, i threaten to unleash him when people are deameaning, unpleasant or rude.

My Karate Monkey is always there for me, he never laughs at or judges me, he comforts me when I'm down and listens when my angry banter makes no sense as I scream, ever patient, always calm, always on my side, fearing nothing he takes all comers with ease, his wit is endless, his knowledge has no boundaries, being a Monkey he does not suffer from the human condition nor is he susceptible to the flaws of mankind, he just swings from the branches of the trees in my mind and encourages me to breathe when chaos builds inside my personal hell, then puts out the fires out with his awesome Karate moves and banana peels so I may see through the smoke, he will never fail me.

Sorry all, it's just where I go sometimes,
I may be losing it but my Karate Monkey is as sane as a Monkey can be.

I wrote this awhile back under different username it was a post for a friend that needed to laugh instead of cry one day.
I guess it just stuck, we laughed about the KM antics till day she CTB.
She was in a lot of pain, she had a of heart of gold though, she helped many people on this site, she was my friend, I miss her, probably why I have kept up with the KM and mention him every time a get a chance.

Make sense now ?

Well damn, now I feel bad for making fun of it. Hope you're doing ok though.

It's all in my mind friend, just think of him and he will be there for you.
Or create your own character, they will become friends too.

Any Advice.

That is a bold statement and accepted.

Once got together with two other friends, a long time ago. An interesting day as we were going to make chilli. As beer was available I ended up content on a couch watching clouds go by and listening to all the hype about the chilli being made. A lot went in to that dish, had to be every pepper ever made with like 2 teaspoons of tomatoes, 1/2 cup of water, and what I was sure was cabbage. Two mens idea of cooking a great chilli. With a big heart took a spoonful of that horrid mess and didnt know I had a tongue for a week.

Humor does desensitize death lightly, but it is the real meaning that keeps it aloft. Really experiencing death, seeing the feeling in it and not just an image, running through the loss, the finality, an escape, all those and more may have to happen first before a joke is made. May well be that the serious consideration of death is the part that needs facing. The humor comes easy after knowing and accepting a thing.

No one jokes when a shark is coming for them, its after they shit themselves and the shark has no interest, the jokes start to crawl out. Be light with the jokes till the shark has moved on or you may end up with kimchi ghost pepper cabbage chilli and be wondering how we got here.
