Rape? Murder? Molestation?
Anything?

Nope.
Just depends on the joke really...

I think timing is also a factor.

Depends mostly on the audience.
For example, I wouldn't tell a rape joke to someone who I just finished raping.

If you wait a week or so it's all good.

True.
So, it's timing + audience.

Q: What is funnier than a dead baby?
A: A dead baby in a clown suit.
It is all about your audience and timing

Its all about the time and place.....I usually have reservation on jokes on victims....example jokes on the Japan Nuke victims or 9/11 victims.

I work for homeland security so I can tell you with authority that terriorist jokes at the airport will f--- up your travel plans. Even the most silly joke at the airport bar can get you stuck in a private room, and there aint no champagne in these rooms.

Should we add location to the equation?
timing + audience + location = win

So a woman is giving birth and right after she delivers the doctors cuts the chord. He then proceeds to swing it about his head by the chord and tosses it into the wall where it slides down to the floor. He then runs over, picks it up, runs past a nurse giving her a straight arm and spike the baby yelling 'touchdown!' The woman is hysterical and screaming but that doesn't deter the doctor as he winds up and kicks the baby out the door and yells 'GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAL' . The doctor then looks over at the woman and says 'Stop your crying it was already dead'
*rimshot*

I didn't find the above to be funny but once you hear a joke like that good luck forgetting it.

Wow, this thread has set a new record.
2 new posters made their first post in it.
I should get rewarded by having my warning level lowered 2 or 3 levels.
Welcome Gutter_McPoop and Luca.

No subject or topic is off limits - funny is funny.
The real question is whether it's appropriate to tell it and what the goal of the deliverer is. Dropping a dead baby joke at Ronald McDonald House - not really the place. It probably won't fly at Caroline's or The Riv, either, but for entirely different reasons. Yet, I'd wager big bucks it kills during recess at elementary schools pretty much all the time.
