Do you find jokes funny if you disagree with their premise?

Exactly. That’s why the Joker from Dark Knight is my favorite villain, even though he kills innocent people. Just the way he does it is hilarious.

I had a similar thought process, after I came up with the “gaytheist” joke but before I posted it. It was a quick punning impulse, so I clicked reply and typed fast. Then I sat there for a few seconds, looking at the words in the text box: does this actually make any real sense? Then I thought, fuck it, it’s still a funny word, don’t over-analyze, and crossed my fingers that people wouldn’t try to make more out of it than just the silliness of the portmanteau and clicked submit.

Ta da!
