…is always good for a laugh. My personal favorite is the scene in Basquait when the Civil War guy is getting kicked out of the restaurant and he hisses to the security guys grabbing him, “Don’t touch me you faggots!” (it’s funnier to hear it). Then there’s that episode of Six Feet Under where David is doing that prostitute and says “Yeah, you like that don’t you, you faggot!” (again, funnier when you hear it; he sounds so forced and unsure). Anybody know any others (or at least think those moments are as funny as I do)?
Your sense of humour isn’t all that well-developed, is it?
So…
Is this recent spate of arguably anti-gay threads from you some sort od suicide-by-Mod attempt?
It’s just as stupid as when black people call each other “nigger.”
You blew it, pizzabrat. How dare you find humor in anything that could even remotely be construed as un-PC? You should know better. Only certain kinds of ignorance are fought around here. :rolleyes:
I must not be reading the right humour pieces. That doesn’t sound like something Wodehouse or even Benchley would write…
You are my hero. 
Huh. Only five posts in before people who don’t find slurs amusing regardless of who delivers them are dismissed as “PC.” That may tie the record.
If this is another of your “jokes” like the lesbian sex one, well, your shtick still ain’t working.
Aww, Otto, I’ve been called a greasy thug too- and it never stops hurting.

I was reading the latest edition of Punch the other day, and on the page after a delightful caricature of Mr. Disraeli, I found the most wonderful story about two homosexual gentlemen…
Ok, I’m done now. I’ve got to say that I’ve never seen a film or tv show where that’s used as humor. Generally, if the term “faggot” is used, it’s used for drama or pathos.
I’ve seen dialogue where the word “faggot” was used to make the person who uses it look ridiculous, which can be pretty funny.
I haven’t seen either of the things in the OP, and I don’t really “get” them. But maybe it’s all context.
The only time I’ve seen it used by a gay man as a joke was in a bit from The Kids in the Hall. Scott Thompson skipped out on stage, stopped, and did a big “ta-da!” flourish with his hands, at which point they superimposed “FAGGOT” on the top of the screen. The point of the sketch was his analyzing the word to find out why it was so offensive to people (his conclusion: it’s the final T, so we should call each other faggos). The sketch itself wasn’t as funny as the intro.
The only other time I’ve seen it used for humor hasn’t been on TV or the movies, but whenever I go to the theater with a friend of mine (who’s female (and straight)). If two guys come in, sit down in front of us, and make sure to leave an empty “safety” seat between them, she covers her mouth with her hands and says, just loud enough to be audible, “Faaaaaaaaags!” Invariably, the guys start to look around to figure out who said it, then get self-conscious and just go back to staring straight ahead at the screen. Pure comedy gold.
Oh yeah, except this exchange later in the ep was funnier:
[after Garrison demonstrates that only gays can say “fag” without being bleeped]
Jimbo: Hell, that’s not fair! I should be able to say “fag.”
Randy: …Hey, you didn’t get beeped.
Jimbo: Uh oh.
Mr. Garrison: Well well well! Guess we learned something new about you, Jimbo, you freakin’ fag! You wanna make out or something?
And come on, I know the OP sounds weird, but I know most of you have seen at least “Six Feet Under”. I’m certain the writers didn’t mean for us to shake our heads and say “What a harrowing and depressing well of self-hatred David has fallen into” when that stuffshirt milquetoast, still clothed in his business attire, has some stranger bent over the hood of a car while failing at providing faux-abusive dirty talk. That’s comedy.
Well, there’s goes Chappelle’s Show and Chris Rock!
How about in Boondock Saints where Willem Dafoe’s character is lying naked with his male companion when the phone rings. As Dafoe talks on the phone, his friend starts massaging his chest. Dafoe slaps him on the head and continues talking. Then the friend starts rubbing his face on Dafoe’s chest. The phone conversation ends, Dafoe slaps him on the face, and yells “What’s wrong with you!?” His friend goes, “I just wanted to cuddle.” “Cuddle…You’re such a faggot.”
