    It was a joke :P but I will say that not everyone involved likes banter.

    Then it's not banter is it?! ;)

    For example ill be at a party tonight with lads I've known 20+ years and it will be nothing but slagging each other about things such as girlfriends, wives, money issues, football, cocks, clothes, houses basically everything but kids and we'll still be on the ground laughing like we used to when we were teenagers. Great craic!

    Sarcasm is commonly referred to as the lowest form of comedy. Sometimes it's an easy source of laughter but sometimes it's clever. I think catchphrases are the lowest form of humour. You're basically just taking someone elses funny comment and using it where you see fit. Not much wit involved in it.

    What's the lowest form of comedy?

    I've always said that gratuitous singing in TV shows and films is the lowest form of comedy .... Like when the Simpsons break out in song. Puts me right off.

    You forgot to finish the qoute-

    - Oscar Wilde



    Whenever I finish the qoute for anyone, I usually get this kind of look-

    Saying completely non clever, non witty things that are nothing other than nasty, and shocking for the sake of shocking. That's not to say I wouldn't always laugh at them though - e.g. Bernard Manning and Roy Chubby Brown. "Girls Aloud...? GIRLS ALOUD...?! Oh yeh girls aloud all right. Allowed to SUCK MY COCK!" I hate the obnoxious prick but I did lol... :o

    To post seriously for a second. One of the very very lowest forms of comedy is the nasty, personal attacks that you are expected to endure as 'slagging'.

    Some people think a bit of "slagging" gives them the right to be utter pricks
    Hmmm... depends. Piss-taking, even faux attacking, can genuinely just be messing and good-natured. It depends on stuff like how close a friend you are to the person, etc. But yeh there are times when people are just being downright unpleasant and hide it behind "I was only messing, can't you take a joke?" and the like.

    'Humour' at the expense of intellectually impaired people.

    Vile.
    Depends again on context. But yeh, "Hahaha they're disabled!" by itself is just cruel.
    Toilet 'humour'. Just don't get why people find it funny but it seems quite well received by many.
    Toilet humour is hilarious. I thought I knew you man... :(
    Mebee you're referring to certain constant bowel movement posts that used to appear around these parts though. If so, I understand more where you're coming from... ;)

    In fairness, they'd have to find it first! Though the pair of them are two of the biggest cocks I've ever seen. I suppose really it depends on as you say FF context and all, but sarcasm is more than some middle aged fat fcuk coming out with "girls allowed suck my cock"...

    That's just obvious humor that you'd hear any day of the week, nothing clever about it.

    If you want to hear sarcasm done brilliantly, get a load of Spike Milligan's genius -

    Puns. Puns are the lowest form of humour. They are not - in any way, shape or form - punny.

    Well the context would be 'at the expense' of someone with an intellectual disability i.e. someone with lesser cognitive faculties who might be unable to defend themselves.

    Physically disabled is a bit different because you're dealing with someone who might be a lot sharper than you in the old head department.
    Toilet humour is hilarious. I thought I knew you man... :(

    Honestly, I don't find it all that funny. I think I might be in the minority on that one though. T'would make an interesting thread with a poll probably.

    Sarcasm is in my opinion the greatest form of wit.

    Decent puns are actually one of the more subtle and clever forms of humour and even the silly ones have a gauche charm and still make me laugh.
