It's a common misconception that comedy has to be crude. If you’re not pushing the envelope, how will your audience know that you’re not afraid of taking risks? But there’s certainly a sweet spot in between sharing squeaky clean, family-friendly content and jokes that will definitely get you canceled. And one page that thrives in that space is Tastefully Offensive on Instagram.
We took a trip to this account, which boasts a whopping 202K followers, and gathered some of their funniest posts below. Enjoy scrolling through this list of blunt and brutally honest observations, and be sure to upvote the ones that you can’t help but agree with!

While the name of this page is Tastefully Offensive, it’s clear from reading through the posts that most aren’t actually disrespectful. They might be blunt or brutally honest, but that doesn’t mean that they deserve to be met with pearl clutching. This conversation does beg the question, though: who has the authority to decide what is offensive?
When it comes to what’s offensive, that’s a nuanced topic that the majority of people won’t agree on. I’m sure if you ask your 90-year-old grandmother, you’ll get a different answer than you’d hear from your five-year-old. And, of course, it depends on the situation you’re in. Making an off-color joke might be okay around your best friend, but you definitely won’t want to do it in front of your boss.
According to a survey from the Pew Research Center, Americans have a hard time agreeing on what’s offensive. In fact, they can’t even agree on whether or not it’s okay to use “offensive language,” as only 60% believe that it’s important to avoid it. Meanwhile, 61% of Americans believe that most of the country cannot agree on what is considered racially insensitive.
65% also say that Americans can’t get on the same page about what language is considered sexist. However, 60% of Americans do believe that people are too easily offended by the language that others use. And only 39% believe that people need to be more careful about the language that they use.

tell me about it... just moved to another place and I still have to paint the walls and put the floors... after being asked 3000 euros excluding materials...yeah maybe next year I will have the house ready ( chronic pain and other health problems make things difficult) .. after this move never more...
It’s been established that offensive is in the eye of the beholder. So let’s discuss one potentially offensive action: swearing. Did you grow up in a household where your mother and father swore like sailors? Or were you required to put a nickel in the swear jar for saying things like “stupid”?
According to a survey from YouGov, 57% of Britons admit that they swear almost every day. And over 60% of British men say that they curse most or every day. Meanwhile, nearly half of the country doesn’t have a strong opinion on swearing, while 17% actually view it positively. On the other hand, however, a third of the nation looks down upon cursing. So be careful who you decide to speak freely in front of!

True story: took my husband's last name because it was easier to sign. And I have an irrational love of alliteration.
As far as where Britons believe that it’s acceptable to swear, YouGov reports that the vast majority are okay with it at home by yourself, in response to physical pain or with friends in private. And over half say that it’s okay at a soccer match or with friends in a public place. But the majority believe that swearing is inappropriate at work, in a place of worship, in front of kids or in a shop, if it’s directed towards a member of the staff.

Hey, those desperate baristas have a union now too. I think they're on to something 😂
While it’s great to call out offensive jokes and hate speech, some people think that we’ve swung a little bit too far in the opposite direction. In fact, one poll from the Cato Institute found that a whopping 71% of Americans believe that political correctness has “silenced discussions society needs to have.” At the same time, 58% of Americans admit that they have political beliefs that they’re scared of sharing with others, for fear of receiving backlash or getting canceled.
We certainly shouldn’t be afraid of sharing our beliefs, especially when they’re just opinions that we’re not claiming to be facts. But it can become dangerous when "opinions" turn into hate speech that starts spreading rampant online. A 2022 poll in the UK found that 84% of Brits are concerned about the amounts of harmful content that they’ve been seeing on social media. And 78% wish that companies would be crystal clear about what kind of content is allowed on their platforms and what isn’t.

Then I'd just tell them it's fine, and go home with my new rat friends
At the end of the day, we really can’t control what other people say (or post online). All we have power over is how we choose to react. So if you’d like to become less easily offended, April Eldemire, LMFT, shared some tips with Psychology Today.
First, she recommends investing in things that will boost your self-esteem. If you feel great about yourself, you’ll be more likely to let things roll off your back. It’s also a good idea to “practice the pause.” Instead of instantly and emotionally reacting to things, take a moment to breathe and wonder why you’re actually feeling offended. Chances are, you’ll come to realize that it wasn’t actually a big deal at all.

"Learning is so boring," is a hideously depressing thing to read. If you're not learning, you're not living. I'm 60yo and currently learning Inform7, which is free software to program text games. Before that, I learned how to make a great focaccia. Up next, piano tuning. Learning is awesome.

Our currently has a ton of preschool age books (it’s near a country day school), both Harry Potter, and Percy Jackson full series, the Bhagavad Gita, I Am Malala and several Sunset cookbooks. I’m currently standing in front of it whilst on a dog walk.

My neighbor has a cat. Chill and friendly little guy. He doesn’t even come into my apartment, even if we leave the door open. I respect him, he respects us. But my other neighbor HATES cats and whenever she sees him, she chases him out of her yard with a broom. So now, whenever he needs to pee, he leaves the house, walks all the way through my garden just to go do it on her doormat. She’s furious. I told her he’s never caused me any trouble… but of course she doesn’t believe me. I love cats. Go little guy!

It's not about consumer sales. Publishers pay to have their books listed. Very similar to how the BBB operates.

In university one of the final year projects in my year was sponsored by Fisher & Paykel. Can't remember what the team was supposed to research (wasn't my project), but do remember that F&P supplied the university with a fully functional DishDrawer with a full perspex front. Twas epic to watch.

No joke, the ones who know a recession is coming, are usually the strippers and escorts (the high end ones mind you). Friend of mine swears he learned about the 2008 recession from his favorite dancer several months before it happened - those "girls" are indeed multitalented!

It's so they can have the bakers in a single, controllable space, and also have lovely country estate garden backdrops reminiscent of traditional English fêtes, which are also often held in marquees. And I'm sure it's logistically easier, and likely cheaper, than hiring a studio or indoor location space for the entirety of the competition.

As quickly as the UK goes through PMs, I expect them to have utilized the entire eligible population by the end of this decade. This may ignite a new crisis of governance for which the only reasonable solutions are: the Downing Street Cat, a head of lettuce, or the incredibly vivid and playful Prince Louis.

My dark sense of humour is definitely not for everyone. But it's how I coped in the hospital. A nurse at the physiotherapy hospital said - "I remember you! You have a great sense of humour!" My t-shirts - "In my defence I was left unsupervised", the one for the days I had physiotherapy sessions - "In training for the next apocalypse".... And my favourite one at the time - "I survived Covid-19"... Am I always funny? If you don't know me? Or know how I deal with things? Probably not.

It's less that people are easily offended, as that so many people are offensive.
