Where do you draw the 'laugh line' when it comes to comedy?
To clarify: What kind of joke is taking a sensitive issue too far?
A better job awaits

There's no such thing as going to far in humor. If some one isn't offended, the joke isn't funny.
Anything involving Pauly Shore has gone too far.
Rosie Odonnel---not funny
Just because you're yelling the punch line that doesn't make it funny. And singing off key, this is maybe funny once.
It's not offensive, it's just not funny
Depends on who'm I'm with! ;) I might feel less able to laugh with granma right beside me...
yeah this is a good point. I remember when I saw Pulp Fiction in the theater, and it was the scene where they are discussing the foot massage, and some guy is sitting with his parents in front of me trying not to crack up, and his mom was starting to make those harumph noises, and then the dad is trying not to laugh so his wife doesn't get pissed at him......now that was funny, but not for that family.
