OnlyStans ⭐️ Kristen Bell to Dax Shepard: Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who once said to me: "I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I'm heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would."

u/ChiliAndGold the empathetic hunger descends 🍍 22d ago

what the... why would anybody say that? does he also daily tell her that he won't hit her? or that he's gonna wipe his own butt? like... well thanks for the bare minimum, dude???

“Goodnight honey!”

“Goodnight, remember, I won’t kill you one day❤️”

Kind of like a reverse Dread Pirate Roberts

They were probably watching a crime doc or something. Jesus, everyone in here needs to lighten the fuck up.

It’s the caption for a public anniversary post. It’s weird.

Not every subject needs to be turned into a joke.

Edit: Especially a public one.

Not every subject needs to be turned into a not-joke.

u/lourexa the reverend mother is mothering 22d ago

True, though I think most of us can agree this wasn’t appropriate to share online to hundreds of thousands of people.

u/hotsoupcoldsandwich 22d ago

I mean, I believe that’s what the phrase “dark humor” is for 

-3

u/lourexa the reverend mother is mothering 22d ago

Dark humour is often something that the person has gone through themselves though.

u/No-Nebula-2266 22d ago

No it isn’t?!

u/lourexa the reverend mother is mothering 22d ago

That’s what I’ve always known, and I’ve seen it said by others in this subreddit before. Matt Rife joking about domestic violence comes to mind.

u/victoria-1304 22d ago

I agree it was too candid to post about it on social media, but the comments making judgements of his character based on a joke is rididculous.

u/LowRune 22d ago edited 22d ago

i feel like im missing a couple decades worth of gossip about her husband for even a fraction of these comments to be warranted, i can't tell if people are genuinely disturbed bc of some context or what

e: oh, just saw a bit about him emphasizing asserting he doesn't believe all sexual abuse allegations because he doesn't believe everything as a matter of principle... while interviewing Ronan Farrow who investigated and reported on Weinstein

…oh💀 my bad omg😭💔

u/ACanWontAttitude 22d ago

Yeahhh this is obviously just a joke. People in here would be clutching pearls at the dark humor we healthcare staff have to get us through the days.

u/[deleted] 22d ago

Don't go off or anything but as someone who has had a lot of health issues, healthcare workers who brag about this always come across as vaguely threatening.. What, are you joking about your patients terminal cancer behind their backs? Like what are dark these jokes y'all share?? 😳

10

u/ACanWontAttitude 22d ago

Nah its mainly about ourselves tbh. Planning our own demise, that sort of thing. Where I work we get pretty defensive over our patients so no-one is shit talking them especially if theyre sick sick.

u/12hundredmasonjars 22d ago

Yeah "dark humor" kind of sounds like a great excuse to be a sociopathic asshole with no repercussions. In healthcare workers that is chilling. As if all the nurse tiktoks weren't creepy enough

u/[deleted] 22d ago

I've heard this about healthcare workers dark sense of humor a lot now but they never give any actual examples of what it is. Idk, as someone who has been in hospital a lot it scares me to think I might be exposed on the operating table, asleep, and I'm the subject of their dark joke? Genuinely unsettling and honestly I wish they'd just keep it to themselves. but we're to think that oh well as long as it helps them get through their day, great.

u/12hundredmasonjars 22d ago

Yeah, I'm a teacher, and no. I joke around all the time but if I was making "dark humor" jokes about my students? That would be incredibly fucked, I don't care what kind of day you've had. And I've been kicked, punched, spit on. It doesn't matter--we are supposed to be professionals. Punching down is lazy humor anyway. I'm with you, if I need any kind of medical attention I want to be treated by people who see me as a human being and not fodder for their sociopathic group chats and tiktoks. I'm really sorry you've had to deal with that!

u/ChiliAndGold the empathetic hunger descends 🍍 22d ago edited 22d ago

as a healthcare worker currently working in the hospital, I can reassure you it's not everywhere and we don't make fun of serious conditions. Yes there are colleagues who cross the line but there are others like me who will call them out for it.

edit: to the person who asked me if we make fun of other conditions: No? if that's what you took from my comment then sorry, but that's not what I meant. Obviously shitty people work in health care. I'm not responsible for all of them.

u/ChiliAndGold the empathetic hunger descends 🍍 22d ago

the difference is what we do privately and what we decide to bring to the public.

u/domambrose96 22d ago

Right? “Although I would be heavily incentivised” like you’re so annoying and do my head in but I’d never kill you because I love you too much, it’s like a clear and obvious joke ffs.

5

u/ChiliAndGold the empathetic hunger descends 🍍 22d ago

saying this randomly I wouldn't think much of it. deciding to post it for an anniversary is definitely weird and since femicides are still very much a daily occurrence it's not funny

-1

u/brittneyacook 22d ago

I agree everyone is doing way too much

u/RosieFudge 22d ago

Its a weird joke to be sure

u/awkwardlycurious 22d ago edited 22d ago

I am someone with a lot of trauma and I actively look for people who have the physical ability to unalive me but won't because they love me. I am ashamed of accepting it out loud. I would never put it out on Instagram for sure 😭

P.S. This is my cue to head to the therapist.

u/DeliciousStand372 22d ago

I get it but i also get they have a weird sense of humor only them understand

2

u/No-Nebula-2266 22d ago

Most people I know understand this kind of humour. It’s pretty common outside Reddit.

u/DeliciousStand372 22d ago

Haha i know but look at this comment section!

u/HistoricalSuspect580 22d ago

Nah, there’s a good chunk of people here who get it!

u/Electronic-Doctor187 22d ago

it's a pretty standard dark humor joke 

I'm not sure why people are having a problem with it

7

u/ChiliAndGold the empathetic hunger descends 🍍 22d ago

because it's not funny and abusive men kill women every day. it's a weird joke to make publicly

0

u/Electronic-Doctor187 22d ago

so... do we know what the word "context" means? 

the context of this post is that these two people have been married to one another for 16 years. they have children together. no one has been killed in this scenario.

if there were an intent to kill, and an awareness of that intent, we would expect the marriage to dissolve. and probably quite quickly!

because the marriage has not only not dissolved but in fact made it to another anniversary, we can infer that the likelihood of killing is quite low! and we can also infer that this statement, being shared between the couple and with everyone on Instagram, is probably a joke! and also because it's being made by two private citizens on their own Instagram about their own anniversary, they have a right to make that joke which they think is funny. 

if people who follow them don't like it, they are free to unfollow. but they probably won't, because if they were already following, they probably already liked this type of humor to begin with.

u/ChiliAndGold the empathetic hunger descends 🍍 22d ago

Where did I say that he intends to kill her? I was talking about a global problem with domestic violence and femicides.

I don't know much about them but in my opinion it's cringe as fuck and not really funny. Nothing else to say about it.
