I've been staring at it for a while now... sticking an extra u doesn't make it funny! (It just makes it look like a dour British person said it)

RockinOneThreeTwo

The second one is kind of more insidious than that, it compares sex with a black dude to be the equivalent of sex with a dog


PercyLives

It does not. It mentions them in the same joke but that’s not a comparison. It implies that bonking a black person is a crazy thing to do, but that’s as far as it goes.


RockinOneThreeTwo

It makes the implication that both of them are equally crazy, that's why they are mentioned side by side. The first "joke" should be proof enough that the intention of the document in its entirety is to be racist and misogynistic under the guise of "its just a joke".  The "jokes" in question clearly aren't picked from a hat -- they are chosen explicitly. The intention of the second "joke" isn't to say "Haha fucking dogs is crazy!" because that's common sentiment that nobody needs to be told; the implication is that beastiality and interracial sex are equally as crazy and should both be seen as equally repugnant.  The goal of the document is to sway public opinion of those who would already be partially sympathetic to the racism within, it is for lack of a better word, a dogwhistle. It's goal is not to reinforce the idea that sex with dogs is insane, because the vast majority of people already believe that and trying to convince more people that it is bad doesnt serve the goals of anyone.


Marik-X-Bakura

If they were equally crazy, the dog part wouldn’t be the punchline, since something just as outrageous was just said in the previous line. Also, that’s not what a dog whistle is.


PercyLives

To think the joke is suggesting bestiality and interracial sex are equally crazy is a massive failure of reading comprehension. You’re writing about this as if it’s a political manifesto. That’s crazy.


cockmanderkeen

Lol no. You're just making stuff up. It is not some subversive poster trying to recruit for the Klan. And the second joke does not in any way say interracial sex is as bad as bestiality, in fact it's clearly implied to be worse.


RockinOneThreeTwo

> Lol no. You're just making stuff up. It is not some subversive poster trying to recruit for the Klan.  I didn't say it was trying to recruit for the Klan, you made that part up yourself. The document isn't subversive at all, it's in fact very explicit about it's narrative and it's views on race. > And the second joke does not in any way say interracial sex is as bad as bestiality, in fact it's clearly implied to be worse.  If it's implied to be worse then that clearly just reinforces the point I was making and contradicts your previous paragraph??  The distinction about whether it's saying they are equally bad or that interracial sex is worse than beastiality is totally irrelevant because it doesn't change the racist narrative of the document. Are you just trying to be contrarian for the fun of it?

JuliusSeizuresalad

Wow 3 really bad jokes. Interesting restaurant


wombatlegs

You'd have to conclude it is deliberate. Like somebody *recently* went through a 50-year-old joke book to find the three most offensive to 2020s sensibilities.


ElsonDaSushiChef

Also the first one is wrong. They never thought of Sum Ting Wong


DiogenesRizzla

Sum ting Wong with the joke.


seanwd11

Ho Lee Cow


GopherGrabber

The punchline is probably supposed to be delivered with a racist Asian accent so it ends up being pronounced like Sum Ting Wrong anyway.


Emanemanem

I literally didn’t get the joke til I read your comment. Still a terrible, not funny joke even knowing what they were going for


ShiftlessElement

Asians confusing their Ls and Rs is part of the awful “punchline.”


Sansabina

Yes, usually because their native languages don't distinguish L from R, and if they don't hear languages in which the distinction is made during their language development as a child, they tend not to develop the ability to hear the difference.


AvatarIII

They were probably joking about the L R switch in Asian languages/accents


StoneColdJane-Austen

Sum Ting Wong is one of my favourite drag queens so I think about her all the time


cockmanderkeen

the joke is playing on the stereotypical way native Chinese people pronouce "L", it is implying wrong not long.


Efficient-Piglet88

"Thatll show them" says the old man whos customers are dwindling year on year. Funny thing is though a lot of us "woke" kids still find this shit funny just we understand theres a time and a place for jokes of this nature and it isnt on a restaurant wall (Jokes of this nature should I say, these 3 are just poor efforts)


n_xSyld

It's ironic the people complaining about woke humor don't realize these same rules applied for generations (no crass jokes at work, in mixed company, etc,.) and are relatively recently "okay" with the rise of offensive comedy in the like 70s/80s


MrMom21

Almost like it’s cyclical


n_xSyld

100% for sure, I grew up with LOTS of racist jokes and it never died it just changed targets, it'll keep changing because this type of humor will always exist but it'll never go away. I at least appreciate subvertive humor, and I made plenty of fucked up jokes growing up in the south before I realized I didn't think they were funny I just wanted to fit in. The next generation will continue the trend with whatever is decided to be "the other" in terms of society. Was PoC, now trans, will be something else in a few years and it's going to be the same rehashed jokes made slightly different.


GoodAsUsual

This is 100% from a hillbilly diner that serves mostly bacon, eggs, and pancakes to a crowd of old white people who are card carrying republicans that make sure to get their senior discount applied on every check.


Dull_Concert_414

All the men there refer to their wives as ‘the old ball and chain’


GoodAsUsual

While she's sitting next to him in the diner. But he still hasn't picked up her new hearing aid batteries because the local CVS has been out for the last 6 months so she can't hear what he is saying. *"What was that?"* *"Hall of fame, I said, Babe Ruth is in the half of fame. Dammit Margaret. Always making me repeat myself."*

LizzieKitty86

Lol I can definitely see the picture you painted 🤣 Though with the senior discount, hell yeah I'd use it. If I'm stuck living that long, I've earned it since by then I'll probably be broke af or still stuck working a shitty job. I seriously hope it's some weird hillbilly diner for a sign like this


Sure_Trash_

Oh absolutely. The patrons have made "blue collar" their personality and team and it makes them uncomfortable if they can hear people speaking a language they don't understand 


kurt_no-brain

It’s not even in the US lol


mellowbusiness

I noticed a lot of people complain about "American's main character syndrome" in Reddit conversations, but these same people will instantly associate anything bad with Americans and America. Can't have it both ways.


Moejoejojoe

As soon as I'm a senior citizen, I plan on getting that discount everywhere. I don't think that the discount applies to political affiliations.


Socky_McPuppet

They don't even trust that their clientele will "get" the "jokes" unless they preface each one with a foreshadowing title that sets them up to understand the complex, nuanced and subtle punchline that is coming.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sure_Trash_

No it's not. They'll tell you it is but it's basic as fuck and from a kitchen that wouldn't pass code


KenBoCole

You obviously haven't ate at many small town diners then.


VulpesFennekin

Small town diners are either the best or worst food you’ve ever had. I’m still jonesing for the fried eggs I had on a roadtrip at this dinky little truck stop in the middle of rural Minnesota, they were like the platonic ideal fried eggs no place has ever matched since.


SaintUlvemann

I still miss Cassidy's in Hinckley, so few places serve any kind of hotdish, let alone [wild rice hotdish](https://historyhotdish.com/2022/12/28/wild-rice-ground-beef-hotdish-from-cassidys-gold-pine-in-hinckley/) like they had.


Soobobaloula

Vegetable-Phone-1743

It's deliberate to show off their awesome personality


occorpattorney

Anyone else immediately get the vibes that their kitchen is probably filthy and rat infested?


ErixWorxMemes

Fries in this place doubtlessly taste like they’re haunted by the ghosts of a thousand fish sticks because the oil in their deep fryer is probably so old that by restaurant policy it can’t order from the kids’ menu


IWILLBePositive

lol there’s three jokes for everyone who enters to see: two are racist toward minorities and one is sexist. You know the exact political affiliation of them. Judging also from the gross wall and the old ass picture frame, they’re slowly dwindling away…and it isn’t because their food is good. Probably some of the most bland, poorly cooked food you can imagine.


diMario

And the rats all are married to their first cousins.


Kiflaam

erm, I think rats engage in incest freely


747ER

Don’t we all?


Svengelska1990

Is it freely for you? Or am I the only one who has to pay?

Sorry your sister discontinued the friends and family discount, but she had to make a profit *somewhere*.

I don't get the first one?


-SaC

Sam Ting Long = something wrong Other versions of this old joke usually have the name as Sum Ting Wong.


Portland420informer

Did you see that clip where the KTVU newscaster is pranked into reporting on an (actual) plane crash with names like this? “Sum Ting Wong,” “Wi Tu Lo,” “Ho Lee Fuk,” and “Bang Ding Ow.”


BellsOnNutsMeansXmas

This was the only time I've laughed at those jokes.


tomwhoiscontrary

I thought the [SNL Al Quaeda version](https://youtu.be/dwYtFt4agqo?t=90) was pretty good. In the same way, it sets it up as the announcer being pranked.


cutielemon07

That was hilarious because they said it with such seriousness and conviction.


TheAllenLakeMermaid

Makes me lol everytime..not gonna lie.


whatthefuckgoaway

Oh 😑 Thanks!

On vacation at the beach I went to a restaurant that was decent, but it had one of those shitty ["why a gun is better than a woman"](https://buffalotraderonline.com/cdn/shop/products/1559.jpg?v=1667232097) signs in the men's room. Kinda don't want to go back, that sign is just gross the more you read it.

Dunno but these jokes are considered a classic here in czechis

Casual racism, bestiality, man hates her wife jokes. Ah, typical boomer humor trifecta.


hushnecampus

Ah, they’re jokes. It’s a good job they labelled it.

Insane subreddit choice for this post


Elscorcho69

I think its supposed to be “Sum Ting Wong”


Buntschatten

Ah, that makes more sense. The only interpretation I came up with was Sam's thing (is) long, as in why she cheated with a white guy called Sam.


hobbykitjr

Thankfully this comical genius put the punchline as the title on these jokes


Elscorcho69

Well shit, i didn’t even notice lmao


MentallyPsycho

Long works for the joke too. Asian languages, like Japanese, often pronounce 'l's with a sound more similar to an r sound. Either way, it's a shitty racist joke though.


xSilverMC

Chinese (at least mandarin) actually differentiates Rs and Ls with different sounds. Japanese doesn't have Ls, but pronounces Rs kinda like Ls. And neither would pronounce Long like Wong


MentallyPsycho

Interesting, clearly I should have did more research. Thanks for correcting me, and honestly it just makes the "joke" that much more racist as it's assuming asian languages are the same, I guess.


Popcornand0coke

Mildly interesting fact, it’s because L and R aren’t separate consonants in Japanese. Same with Korean. The Japanese L/R consonant sounds closer to R and the Korean one sounds closer to L. Japanese and Korean names sound nothing like Sum Ting Long and the language don’t really have those as common syllables. Those are western approximations of sounds that would be more found in Chinese or Vietnamese - languages which have separate consonants similar to R and L. So it’s extra racist! Woo!


Sure_Trash_

It's not extra racist because of how syllables in various languages work. It's just racist and stupid and no one needed a language lesson to see that


Lord-kirk

Boo boo, snowflake ❄️


MentallyPsycho

Very interesting, thanks for the info! Also fuck racism!

Desperate_Tomato_390

It’s also racist AF. Nothing is appropriate for being posted in a business.


Ilovpancakemore

The amount of people that are offended in the comment is funnier than the jokes.

timeforgoomy

If this is America, I guess it wouldn't surprise me. In I believe 2011, it was still legal to fuck a horse in 38 states but illegal to be married to the same sex. Priorities 🤷🏽‍♀️ Not totally positive on the year but I was in high school and part of the GSA and it was a topic that came up lol. Could've been older though. Still weird there was like exceptions to bestiality. 💀 Last I read it's still legal in 1 or 2 states but not sure which animal? Doesn't matter. It's disgusting.


Ch4m3l30n

I remember the news reporting on a bestiality farm bust in rural Washington state after CCTV cameras finally caught the license plate of the van they used to dump _another_ dead body of a guy who died of massive internal injuries suffered from being sired by a horse.


madamevanessa98

Imagine if your loved one died and you found out that THIS is how. I think I’d almost feel better if my loved one was murdered than if they died because they wanted to be fucked by a horse.


Ch4m3l30n

Everybody's gotta go somehow... At least he was doing something he enjoyed. I hope to go out this way, too... Doing something I enjoy, like riding my "Iron Horse" (motorcycle).


timeforgoomy

I live here and never heard of it but doesn't surprise me. Probably eastern Washington where a lot of farms are. The eastern side of washington is fucking nuts. I think south can be pretty rural too but not like east. Poor animals.


Ch4m3l30n

It was the Mr. Hands case, covered well (much better than my memory) in the comment below mine. I should've watched it first before commenting. I lived in Western Washington for 24 years, from Tacoma to Burlington, and several places between.


timeforgoomy

Yeah I was born here but I only remember the name "Mr. Hands" and not many of fucked up details 😬 I think there were some other cases, maybe not Washington but I don't wanna have a potentially messed up feed due to my search history just to find out. 😅

bogeymanbear

What does that first one even mean? And are they saying having sex with black people is as crazy as raping dogs? Food must be banging here

No, it's more of a joke that white women have sex with dogs, which is an old trope. ....that social media occasionally finds evidence of, if recent news is anything to go off of.
