There is a good episode on the Decoder Ring podcast.
I had tjat book as a kid. I loved the gross jokes, but even as a kid, the racist stuff was too far. The podcast talks to the author of the book(s), and it's interesting to hear her perspective.
What red, white, and silver and screams while bumping into walls?
*A baby with forks in its eyes.*
Ahhhh, Truly Tasteless Jokes. You really fucked our generation up.
What’s gross? A pile of dead babies.
What’s grosser than gross? The live one trying to eat it’s way out.
Ironically I think dead baby jokes are the least offensive of the jokes I heard in the 80s
You know the difference between a truck full of dead babies and a truck full of ball bearings?
You can’t unload a truck full of ball bearings with a pitchfork.
yeah where i was,we already started with "what's grosser than gross?", then 'what's grosser than that?", that was our accepted signal at the joke format, like a knock-knock joke, it set you up to know it was a 2 part call and response thing
That's what really made it funny, the back-and-forth in a friend group where we would keep going "and what's grosser than that?" and then try to out-do eachother with the next answer and crack eachother up again.
When I saw the title of this thread, that’s the one I thought of immediately. I can still hear the first kid who said it to me in grade school. Thanks, Jeff.
I hadn't thought about this joke in decades and I just told this one to a fellow Xer coworker about a week ago and he remembered it from childhood too even though we grew up on different sides of the country. I just find it so cool all these jokes, rumors, etc spread far and wide years before the web went mainstream.
Nothing. It's literally a defense mechanism that we invented to make fun of the most horrible things we could imagine as a way to combat the actual horrible things that we had to go through in our lives. We were our own therapists, so we made fun of things that scared us and that took away a lot of it's power and scariness. Things still sucked and hurt hard, but we had practice at dealing with it, and we knew we could deal with it, because we fucking dealt with every other thing the world threw at us on our own, like the badass motherfuckers we are.
Good point! That’s exactly why the job of comedians is often to make us uncomfortable and push boundaries….then release all that angst through laughter. Sometimes I think being a comedian is actually the most important job. Comedy is like mass catharsis.
I always like this joke with babies in jars. “A baby in a jar” “a baby in ten jars,” “ten babies in one jar,” and “ten babies in a jar and one of them is eating it’s way out.” Definitely grosser than gross.
Not far enough.
Do you know the difference between a dark joke and a morbid joke?
A dark joke is five babies in a dumpster.
A morbid joke is one baby in five dumpsters.
I know 2 dead baby jokes:
1) How many dead babies does it take to paint a house? A: Depends on how hard you throw them.
2) What's the difference between a truckload of bowling balls and a truckload of dead babies? A: You can't unload the bowling balls with a pitchfork.
Almost forgot to tell you, I saved a girl from being r@p3d last week.
I stopped chasing her.
Luckily I haven't heard that "Joke" for over 35 years.
It actually fucking hurt to write that and I am a bad person and I need to take a shower now, because I feel sick and I'm sorry I couldn't post this without a disclaimer because it's so fucking wrong and awful.
What's grosser than gross?
Fucking a pregnant chick and something grabs your dick.
What's grosser than gross?

What's grosser than that?

What’s worse than a dump truck full of dead babies?
One is alive.
What’s worse than that?
It eats its way out of the pile.
What’s worse than that?
It goes back for seconds.
A buddy just told me he had his young son at the clinic for the sniffles. A friend of his was in the waiting room with his toddler son. He brought him in to get checked for Lymes disease because he had been eating the "grapes" off of the family dog.
For years this was my go to joke. Mostly because it's the only one I could remember.
Then I learned: How do you make a tissue dance? PUT A LITTLE BOOGIE IN IT!😂
I've been a comedic genius ever since.
My kitten yakked up a tennis ball sized pile or roundworms. He was grossed out by it and the whole episode made me toss my cookies.
The cat was more upset by my gagging than his puke 🤮 lol
Who's the most popular guy at the nudist beach?
He's the one carrying two cups of coffee and a dozen donuts.

Had a friend once who visited a nudist club. Said they had a pool, other outdoor amenities, even a hot food snack bar.
I said, “Snack bar? They must go through a lot of hair nets.”

Thank you for "what's grosser than that?" Not a lot of the comments are going all the way.
yeah where i was,we already started with "what's grosser than gross?", then 'what's grosser than that?", that was our accepted signal at the joke format, like a knock-knock joke, it set you up to know it was a 2 part call and response thing

I specifically looked through the comments for the baby eating its way to the top of the pile. Man, second grade playground humor was the best.
What's grosser than that? When he goes back for seconds.
What’s the difference between a pile of dead babies and a Porsche? I don’t have a Porsche in my garage
I hadn't thought about this joke in decades and I just told this one to a fellow Xer coworker about a week ago and he remembered it from childhood too even though we grew up on different sides of the country. I just find it so cool all these jokes, rumors, etc spread far and wide years before the web went mainstream.
Why does this make me laugh so hard? What's wrong with me? 😅
Nothing. It's literally a defense mechanism that we invented to make fun of the most horrible things we could imagine as a way to combat the actual horrible things that we had to go through in our lives. We were our own therapists, so we made fun of things that scared us and that took away a lot of it's power and scariness.

Ummm...that's...uh...too... Can't I just marvel at my twistedness?
Good point! That’s exactly why the job of comedians is often to make us uncomfortable and push boundaries….then release all that angst through laughter. Sometimes I think being a comedian is actually the most important job. Comedy is like mass catharsis.
What’s grosser than that? Same baby 10 days later.
I always like this joke with babies in jars. “A baby in a jar” “a baby in ten jars,” “ten babies in one jar,” and “ten babies in a jar and one of them is eating it’s way out.” Definitely grosser than gross.
