it’s me i’m the joke
If you’re seeing a psychologist and not a psychiatrist, you’re already in too deep to worry about whether they’re laughing at your jokes
Ignorant comment
That’s crazy!
This is a joke but it ain’t really a joke - if you’re trying to figure somebody out you often can tell a lot from the jokes they chose to make and even how they tell the joke.
The most obvious and probably most familiar to most example is somebody who says something demeaning of somebody else present and then, when confronted with the insulting nature of what they just said, claims “it was just a joke”.
Maybe (and this part is much more wild theory on my party) people feel they can get away with more in joke form and hence are more likely to share their true beliefs?!

That’s true. Usually, it’s used in a non-disparaging way though. Like when professional comedians raise political or social issues that are straight-up taboo or too uncomfortable for polite conversation. We laugh, we cry a little, but most importantly, we think and talk about it.
That “it was just a joke bro” when it’s obvious they meant to insult, is often a red flag for being a right winger, I feel. They then proceed to be the actual snowflakes they complain about, by whining.
Because it’s a good joke and they want to remember it, right? Right?
Absolutely!
