So picture me stumbling across this Vegan Asian Spicy Sauce with a Swastika on it...my immediate deadpan “well that tracks Hitler was a vegetarian”. Needless to say it didn’t go over too well in person or on Reddit lol

Was that legit unfunny or are people too sensitive? Of course I know it was a stolen symbol that’s kind of the point of the joke?

 

[Pankratous]

I mean, it's not that funny but it isn't something worth being annoyed about.

 

[M.W.]

At least call it barbecue swas

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

Exactly not aiming for Conan level material but neither was I trying to imply that I condone the holocaust. Although vegans do share much of National Socialism’s intolerance apparently.

 

[LateBloomer]

just not a funny joke.

 

[trikster40]

I would have laughed.

There’s much darker jokes that could have been made.

Yeah and the darker ones may have actually been funny.

True, I’ve got a Doozy in my head but it’s as wrong as wrong can be.

 

[Mistake]

The symbol is correct for buddhism, so it checks out

wasn't hitler a vegetarian? Or that a rumor?

 

[Aggressive Carrot]

Maybe it's a Manji symbol.

 

[Punished Miku]

Now that's a joke lol.

Reddit has a stick up it's ass, I've seen too many obvious jokes get downvoted to hell because people read it as a serious comment. Liberal use of /S is required for jokes there.

 

[YCoCg]

Your joke sucks OP

At least call it barbecue swas

Now this would've been a good starting point!

 

[Barsinister]

Is it made out of REAL vegetarians?

 

[Goro Majima]

We could probably eat lunch together because that's the kind of joke I'd make.

Never really read Hitler related humor as automatically implying a disrespect for the holocaust.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

At least call it barbecue swas

Now this. See this OP? This is how you should've made the joke.

Is Conan considered funny?

Early Conan, I could see being funny but the Conan of the last 20 years always makes me stressed out. He's an intelligent dude who basically has 2 different types of jokes (self depreciating and creepy) that he just repeats over and over again.

 

[Cunth]

Can we swap this one and ops posts around

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

You made a mildly amusing observation and decide to post it on two online forums?

People dont realise that Swastikas were simply adopted by the Nazis...its roots are much more deeper than Hitler and his Cronies

The Origins of the Swastika
The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika, which means “good fortune” or “well-being." The motif (a hooked cross) appears to have first been used in Eurasia, as early as 7000 years ago, perhaps representing the movement of the sun through the sky. To this day, it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. It is a common sight on temples or houses in India or Indonesia. Swastikas also have an ancient history in Europe, appearing on artifacts from pre-Christian European cultures.

 

[Elcid]

I chuckled. People don’t know how to have a laugh these days.

You'll see it on just about every Korean pharmacy as well, the orientation always the opposite of the Nazi symbol.

Decent joke. Gold star for your effort.

[notseqi]

That's not funny, my grandfather died in a concentration camp.

 

[Falcs]

Fuck you op, you insensitive Trump loving racist transphopic sexoginist cunt! How dare you!

Your joke isn't even worth unpacking.

I can't even stop shaking right now.
Uh...

Where's my fucken soy latte..

 

[EviLore]

That's not funny, my grandfather died in a concentration camp.

He slipped and fell off the guard tower?

That goes next to the harmless ham.

 

[notseqi]

He slipped and fell off the guard tower?

Twice. He had left his helmet at the top.

 

[poppabk]

Its not even really a joke-
Bottle has swastika like symbol on it next to the word 'vegetarian'
Hitler was a vegetarian.
It's basically predicated on finding a swastika like symbol on a product inherently funny.
For example I saw a place called 'Dong's Karate' the other day and made some lame joke about not being sure that you should teach your dong to fight, which is funny to me just because I find the word 'dong' inherently funny, for someone who doesn't it would be an unfunny joke.

The funniest part is you telling this joke 3 times in different venues

 

[bad guy]

If we stop using the swastika, then the nazis won.

You surf Reddit for something other than r/gonewild and r/rearpussy?

Omg lol

What the hell is this thread title?

It's like in sports when they 'retire' a number.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Can't spell vegetarian without Arian.

I think the real sin here is your inability to post an image upright.
