I'm sure everyone has SOME sort of boundary - something that makes them uncomfortable, or they would prefer not to talk about - some just have more than others.

I suppose. I mean, I wouldn't make a holocaust joke around Elie Wiesel.

I'll laugh at almost anything if it's delivered right. I'll also make jokes about almost anything.

yes, but they change depending on the people I'm with
like, I try not to make a joke to someone if I know they'll find it hurtful

Yes. I don't like to offend people when I joke around.
But sometimes I forget that.

i think my wife and I or my best friends can joke about almost anything (if it's funny)-the only boundaries are because of people I don't know and what might offend them.

I find everything can be hilarious if it's in the proper light, and I can always find *something* to laugh at. So, yeah, I guess not.

No, I don't believe in '[poor] taste'. If it's funny, it's funny.

Of course. When it stops being humorous, it is no longer funny.

I dislike scatalogic humor, unless it's done by someone wearing a tuxedo.
I dislike mean jokes, and mostly those you can see the punchline coming from a mile around.

My sense of humor doesn't have boundaries when it comes to what is tasteful and what isn't. For me, it is more about whether or not a joke is poorly executed.
That said, I agree with Abz about scatological humor. It just isn't my thing.

I do have my boundaries on what I find funny, but my tolerance is pretty high. Even if I find something in bad taste, I can still laugh at it.
anthro, it helps if you think babies and children are evil little brats.

My boundary is if I'm genuinely upsetting someone. I don't want that.

There's not much boundary on the things I find funny, but I won't say things around people that I know will upset them.

No my humor knows no boundaries. I make fun of everything and everything. Dying children, Race, the holocaust, myslef, religion (including my own)
If its said as a joke or light heartedly it's all fair game.
I cant stand people that make fun of onething e.g someone else's religion but then crack it if you make fun of thiers.

I find dead baby jokes a bit distasteful. Is that what you mean?

Yes. Humor can only go so far.
I hate 'toilet humor'. I don't understand how jokes about bodily functions are funny... unless you're 10.
