“It’s not automatically funny to make an innocent cute character evil/rude/innapropriate” really only applies if you’re being edgy and saying Mario commits violent murder and abuses his brother.
However, drawing Isabelle in a shirt that says “shut the fuck,” saying Yoshi commits tax evasion, and Kirby in the street at night holding a knife outside your house… are all really fucking funny and in those cases, it’s really not deep or worth getting mad about.
The difference comes from a sense of non-sequitur. With the first type of humor, there’s a “logical” negative connection of pessimism where people see a link between two events and automatically assume the worst. Like “Oh Mario’s powerup is a mushroom? That must mean he does the drugs. Peach keeps getting kidnapped? She must be doin THE SEX with Bowser!! Pokemon are like animals? The game is DOGFIGHTING!!!” And so on. It’s not really as funny for us because the connections made are just so cynical.
The stuff like Isabelle wearing a shirt saying “Shut the FUCK up. Biiiiiiitch!” Or Yoshi committing Tax Fraud or Kirby menacingly standing outside with a knife is funny because there isn’t a connection outside of “character is cute and their actions are not” and the extreme disonnance outside of reason between the two is so strong that it’s funny based on that non-sequitur alone. Rather than “Oh its funny because one could theorize Mario has a drug addiction” it becomes more “lol it’s Spyro but with a GUN!!” It becomes more of “haha Isabelle wear a funny shirt” and less “This character is being mean because of what has happened to her, likely due to your own actions”. It also helps that most of the “edgy” humor is stuff like drugs, alcohol, sex, and abuse while the non-sequitur are meant to be more outlandish (ironically, tax fraud is more outlandish due to context)
Anyway I know OP said it wasn’t deep but too bad my over-analyzing ass had to show up
This is actually the only good analysis of this post and puts it in more thought than I could. And also the only good comment on this post. Good shit.

not to be That Guy but nobody cried this much when brazils national museum burned down in september, just goes to show how much people favor white history!!!
to be fair, i didn’t hear squat about this. i would have been just as unhappy about that event as this
and theres a reason you didnt hear squat about it!
because people favor white history!
notre dame got immediate coverage and attention, even though notre dame will be okay. even though the art has been saved and spared, even though it has happened before and will happen again
when the national museum of brazil burned in september, there was hardly any coverage. even though the majority of what had taken hundreds of years to collect had burned. even though the national museum of brazil was home to art from pompeii and egypt as well.
am i saying that what has been burned and demolished at notre dame isnt devastating? no. absolutely not.
but its real fucking telling what people care about when MULTIPLE people now have responded saying they hadnt even HEARD of brazils national museum burning lol
Y'all… The Museu Nacional (National Museum) held the largest collection in LATIN AMERICA.
The fire destroyed over 20 million relics. You read that right. 20 MILLION. Dinosaur fossils, mummies, and indigenous artefacts. More than 90% of the items the museum held were destroyed.
Notre Dame can still be repaired. It was already renovated 2 centuries ago. Notre Dame can be rebuilt. The historical items the Museu Nacional held CANNOT be replaced. The museum was absolutely DESTROYED.
The Declaration of Independence of my country was signed at this very museum. Throughout the fire, museum employees ran inside to rescue as many items as they could.
A lot of Latin America’s history fully VANISHED in this fire. This was a huge hit for us. Y'all care so much about white history and are freaking out over Notre Dame, when an event that destroyed much more history got no attention whatsoever from the international community.
I rest my case.
It’s okay to be sad about Notre Dame, but we can’t place it above similar and more devastating events such as this.
if you held a gun to my head and asked me to name a single scientist right now as i sit here in my bathroom drifting off into space i would just make right with god
tired interpretation: complaining about your wife being opinionated
wired interpretation: bragging about how smart your wife is
Jerry Seinfeld vs John Mulaney death battle
Wow, alright, I’m in a place in my head where I hadn’t even CONSIDERED that 1st one, the tired interpretation. I straight-up only thought it was a lovely mug about how awesome their wife is, and I’m just so happy about that :)
we’re gonna have to start eatin hard cheese and cured salted meats again to try to dodge badly inspected food like just go ahead and give me a set of leather armor and send me on a quest if you’re so set on returning us to darker times
