My Humor and why Being Politically Correct Bugs Me

I do not know why, but I saw this on tv the other day and found it HILARIOUS! Granted it was 3 am and it had been a long day, but this is totally my kind of humor. So first watch this short clip from American Dad:

Now, let's discuss:

1) The fact that a dad would even say that makes me laugh. I appreciate a good parent, but I would totally be that parent would says things just to get a reaction. Occasionally my mom will say something like "don't do that or i'm going to kick you in the face" or my dad will make a witty, but not nice comment jokingly and it just makes me laugh because that's not what a typical parent says.

2) How does the kid dancing or just being friendly/having fun get him molested?

3) It's just a random situation that I feel like would probably never happen, which makes it funnier. Imagine hearing a parent say that in public? I would laugh out loud.

PS I am not saying child molesting is funny. It's sick and messed up, but this is a cartoon and very clearly not a real situation. Political correctness bugs me. People take things too seriously and worry about how what they say will get taken.

Clint Eastwood speaks very candidly about it and I agree.


“People have lost their sense of humor. In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth or you will be insulted as a racist. I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a ‘Sam the Jew’ or ‘Jose the Mexican,’ but we didn’t think anything of it or have a racist thought. It was just normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem. I don’t want to be politically correct."
 I don't know how this turned into THIS, but hey, it's relevant.
