This is such an awkward moment for me. Every time someone mentions cancer, I can't help but notice how funny it is.
The most awkward thing related to this was when I was in a doctor waiting room and there was a TV playing a show about people with cancer. I help my laughter in for about five minutes before I couldn't help myself anymore, I think it was an interview with someone with a month to live that did me in and had me bursting into laughter. Jeez, all the people looking at me in the waiting room. I'm just worried if I ever see a person in real life with cancer, I won't be able to hold my laughter in. How awkward would that be?!
THat would be very awkward! But I don't think cancer is funny.
i had the same problem with AIDS, and that hasnt been funny in like 20 years now.
I don't really get what's so funny about cancer.
I hate it when you make a joke about a disease, and someone says "that's not funny"; they just act like they care by sticking up for those with the disease, but really they don't give a shit. It's that hypocrisy that gets to me. If they really cared, they'd be doing something more than saying "that's not funny" with every mention of cancer or AIDS in a joke--like donating their genitals to those with herpes.

No, I don't find it funny because it's really a terrible disease. Have you ever lived with somebody with cancer? No? I have. So, yes, I do care. And no, I don't find it funny at all.
quick, someone get my UV rays

ok what about excited delirium
Cancer isn't funny.
AIDS, however, is a knee-slapping good time.
I really don't find it funny.
I suggest you get your sense or humor evaluated, it's seriously ill.
Cancer isn't funny when you've had seven people in your family die or have it at one point.
AIDS, however, no matter how terrible of a disease it is, makes me laugh. powerofone;
Goddamn, do you guys understand the hidden meaning?
Not the surface meaning, the real meaning?

Maybe it's funny for the same reason why people watch those skateboarding videos just for when the guys fall on a pole and are no longer able to reproduce.

I'm not stickingup for those with the disease like Bassir sys, but I on't really see why caner's funny. doodthing;
I mean, it;s just a disease, it doesn't make me laugh or anything.
but like Lozal says, AIDS is highly humorous. I think that's just because it's so easy to pass it's on, it's so easy to make jokes about. That and it's sex-related.

Cervical cancer is sex-related in most cases.
guys i think i have
omg lol rolfmao
my uncle died of cancer about a week ago
doodthing;
It's not really that funny. A friends dad died of kidney cancer so the disease lacks that comedic punch so seemingly prevalent here.
why is it that when people tell me something that happened to someone, they make it sound SO funny and then like they have a 5 second pause and they announce that they died after the pause.
during the pause i usually laugh. below is an actual conversation
"so my friend's drill sargent drank 6 red lines and climbed up a huge mountain"
i laugh
"yeah he had a heart attack and died."
"oh. ahha what?"
[Laughs]
Every single disease is hilarious and can be made fun of. Of course, that doesn't work well for me in the house considering my father's a doctor and my mother's a typical woman.
they can just laugh right back at you because you're gay and you'll probably get aids and most likely die of something as simple as the common cold
baddood;
because you will soon be diagnosed with cancer
My mom has cancer asshole :(
