There are many. The Holocaust is definitely off-limits. That's just one example.

- kbenson 9y agoReally? Tell that to Mel Brooks and Sarah Silverman. [1][2] Comedians routinely joke about the holocaust, and have for decades. 1: https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/national/the-thing-about-a-joke-about-the-holocaust-is-jewish-comedians-on-the-darkest-comedy/2017/04/21/b16dc8b6-26d9-11e7-928e-3624539060e8_video.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/national/the-thing-abou... 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8z5wBwY5Zw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8z5wBwY5Zw
- enraged_camel 9y agoWhat about child porn? Pedophilia? Human trafficking?
- kbenson 9y agoI'm utterly confident that if I looked I could find examples of comedians telling jokes about those subjects and audiences laughing. For example, I just searched Google for "comedian pedophilia joke" and the first result is about Louis C.K. doing one during an SNL monologue. Nothing is off limits in comedy. Plenty of stuff is in bad taste, but as long as the comedian is actually trying to be funny I think most or at least many other comedians will back them up.
- tinus_hn 9y agoThere’s plenty of jokes about the abuse of children by the church.
- coldtea 9y agoYou'd be surprised. Tons of major professional comedians have jokes about the holocaust. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGfDXMnQw7g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGfDXMnQw7g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewY3xgqlKPY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewY3xgqlKPY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieDNGCIZogA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieDNGCIZogA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6E9sJ6B-u8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6E9sJ6B-u8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2_HbqPpQDk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2_HbqPpQDk
- macandcheese 9y agoYou've definitely been added to a list somewhere for all those searches, lol.
- CydeWeys 9y agoThere's a long-running Holocaust denial joke in most episodes of Norm Macdonald Live that's hilarious. You're just not watching enough comedy if you don't think anyone makes Holocaust jokes.
- belorn 9y agoMitchell and Webb sketch about nazi SS death squad is one of the best one, and often quoted by other comedians.
