Fun fact!
(lemmy.world)
That wasn't fun at all.
I missed the word “in” when I first read it and was wondering is the city was much worse than it’s reputation in ways I wasn’t aware of.
Can confirm, I have spent a lot of time in Columbus Ohio.
I mean as true as that is, saying he’s in the bad place doesn’t really matter much considering everyone goes to the bad place in the show
The lead singer of Spinal Tap would totally go to the Good Place, though.

Is that woke "humour" I hear about?
It's a scene from a show. The joke is that woman being a killjoy. Yes, the scene may need to be explained, but so does, like, that "this is my hole" meme. If you don't understand context, then it may miss you.
And, honestly, even if it is "woke," okay? Like, I don't understand the issue. Just that you don't think it's funny?
Being a killjoy can be a funny joke.
Having something of noteworthiness just for being woke is meaningless.
Like whats the point? Oh wow Columbus is bad. What insightful, thought provoking idea, no one has ever thought that before. It is so original and so funny. Classic. Absolutely brilliant, I wish I could shake your hand.
No it achieves nothing. It is showing your tribe that you hold a view that is already strongly established in that tribe and everyone congratulates you and themselves for holding a view that everyone holds and announcing it to the world. That's why its woke, its pointless. It's not interesting or funny.

Facts about one of the worst people in history, along with the jokey implication that he's in hell, are so woke, aren't they?
Clearly the non-woke thing would be to celebrate the guy who was so atrocious to the natives that even the Spanish royals were outraged and had him brought back to Spain in chains.
But hey, he "discovered America," am I right? Ignoring the millions of people who already lived there at the time, along with the Vikings who got there 500 years before he did.

"Hitler is in hell." Omg that's hilarious. You so wise and witty and funny, what a clever connection you made in a humours way. No, that's not a joke.
It's woke because it isn't a joke. It is some feel good sense woke people can go "Yea!" too and pat each other on the back.

No really no. I guess a non woke joke in this context would be more like "hey I'm dead, I can see me uncle!" "Umm... No he's in a different place" "no that totally make senses, I can see that".
It's not a joke set purely on the premise of circle jerking some social justice statement that people pretend is constructed into a funny joke because people want to feel like they are on the right side. But it does change the pace and direction, which is how a lot of jokes are constructed.
I don't mind dark jokes and I don't mind clean jokes. A woke joke isn't about being funny it's about commended for having the right view.

There could be a joke in there but it wouldn't be a good one.
Just to be clear the additional context someone else added means that joke could have had humour in it.
