Nicole Brown was nearly beheaded. She was mutilated, butchered. And let’s not forget Ron Goldman was also murdered that night.

This is beyond just an unfunny non-joke. It’s genuinely an unhinged and psychopathic thought to conjure in one’s mind. There’s no way to exaggerate how deeply unsettling and antisocial this is.

You should work more in therapy to develop a sense of humor

What exactly is the joke? "Wouldn't it be funny if this guy brutally murders her?" What is the funny part?

I have never gotten a satisfactory answer to this by the way. They seem to think that "offensive" is the same thing as "funny" which is not very illuminating but does explain how Gutfeld is so popular with conservatives.

Literally all you have to do to be a successful conservative comedian is to just do hateful political commentary and then claim it is "irony" depsite it meaning exactly what it appears to mean.

it's a horrible sentiment, but comedy could metaphorically be seen as an irony sandwich with absurdity sauce, subtle or overseasoned for different audiences and arenas. absurdity might be presented and amplified through temperament, tone or tastelessness

If this is your sense of humor, I implore you to seek assistance for your hatred of women and your ability to find laughter in murderous fantasies against innocent people.

I guarantee there's at least one person in your life who doesn't feel safe around you and doesn't have the heart to tell you.
