I THINK THERE'S BEEN A RAPE UP THERE!


Every time I watch that scene I crack up laughing 

It is so funny. The look on the trainer's and everyone else's faces!! I laugh just thinking about it.

reply

That was funny.

What room are you staying in?

23

There is no 23. Some complaints will be false.

Agreed. anytime I see a tweet suggesting that you should never laugh or joke about rape, I always counter by tweeting a link to the YouTube clip of this. This proves that, sometimes, rape can be hilarious.

reply

I never found that funny.

I think you can joke about anything and everything, and I didn't think it was tasteless or anything - and I don't mind 'tasteless' jokes (whatever that means), but that just didn't seem funny to me.

I am just a bit puzzled as to why they couldn't handle that situation. Someone says the 'R'-word, and professionals (that are supposed to be able to handle all kinds of surprising situations) freeze like a rabbit in headlights. Just deal with the situation and get on with it.

Maybe it's just not that awkward in my opinion, perhaps I think too pragmatically or am not emotionally shocked as easily, who knows.

Shock humor just isn't very shocking or humorous to me, I suppose.

It’s going to be awkward if the general manager doesn’t understand he’s in a training class and starts yelling about rape at the top of his lungs.

reply

People just don't talk about it like it never existed.
