"I Don't Mean To Be Funny, But...."

[ReZourceman]

Ah the famous words. We've all heard them....heck most of us have probably used them.

Things like

"I don't mean to be funny, but"

and

"No offence..."

But whatever the next line is, you can guarentee that its a complete opposite to what they prepared you for.

"I dont mean to be funny, but Im going to be really funny"

Lozzles.

[Fierce_LiNk]

I fucking HATE it when people say that. Normally it's women. Fucking fucks me off.

"I don't mean to be funny but-"
"STFU!"

[Tellyn]

I love the forums so much this month, we've had Drunken Flinky, KOF appreciation, N-E awards, DIY mafia, can it get any better? YES, YES IT CAN! :D

[Stefkov]

"I don't mean to be funny but...you have something on your head...yeah right there...oh wait.
It's your face."

[Coolness Bears]

"i don't mean to be rascist but..." :shakehead

That's my favourite one i've heard someone use..... It is a really annoying! It's like a get out clause for someone to offend you!

[Ellmeister]

I hope you don't take this the wrong way but.....I'm going to totally insult you and make you feel bad anyway..

[Patch]

I hope you don't take this the wrong way but.....I'm going to totally insult you and make you feel bad anyway..

...and then make out it's your fault for 'taking it the wrong way'. Oo-er.

[Ellmeister]

This may sound a little weird but... I want to give you anal...

If its going to sound weird, even a warning won't stop me from thinking wtf.

[weeyellowbloke]

"I know you probably don't want to hear this but........."
"You're right, I didn't want to hear that" :weep:

[Paj Meen Ah]

"I don't mean to be funny.."?

Who says that?

It's "I'm not being funny, but.."

Anyway. I don't mind it. Usually people use it just to make what they're trying to say or point out not sound as bad. Like if someone said "No offence, but i really don;t like your drawing", it's just them making it sound better, and that it's not you they dislike. It sounds better too.

[Brian Mcoy]

Mcoy dosen't want to talk in third person but...

[Paj Meen Ah]

..does anyway, even though it's one of the most annoying things possible?

[darksnowman]

Worst of all is "you're a great guy but..."

[Cube]

"i don't mean to be rascist but..." :shakehead

That's my favourite one i've heard someone use..... It is a really annoying! It's like a get out clause for someone to offend you!

That one fits in some situations, though - sort of to mean "people usually say this but political correctness is currently stupid so I have no idea if this has suddenly become unacceptable for no reason."

Worst of all is "you're a great guy but..."

Agreed.

[MoogleViper]

I don't mean to be funny, but this is a stupid thread.

[EchoDesiato]

I don't mean to be funny, but this is a stupid thread.

I don't mean to be rude, but don't worry, you're weren't.

[AshMat]

I jsut went out for tea, one of the women said "and i'm not being funny rite".

Fun coincidence.

[The fish]

Worst of all is "you're a great guy but..."

Meh, why can't people just say that they don't like you?

[BeerMonkey]

that ""charlie" from this years big bro said "im not being funny" alot pissed me right off so annoying

[Ellmeister]

Meh, why can't people just say that they don't like you?

Because thats outright harsh to. You try taking that... its not as easy as you think..

[Slaggis]

I always say "No offence, but..." or something if I really want to say a joke but know it might offend someone.

[Wesley]

"I'm not being funny, but I hate you."

[The fish]

Because thats outright harsh to. You try taking that... its not as easy as you think..

It may be harsh, but at least its both honest and doesn't piss me off.

[MoogleViper]

No offence fish but you're a dick.

I don't mean to be gay, but I love you really.

[EEVILMURRAY]

This may sound a little weird but... I want to give you anal...

If its going to sound weird, even a warning won't stop me from thinking wtf.
That's because it MAY sound weird, you might actually welcome the sensation of a cock up your ass.

Oh my god, I FUCKING HATE that phrase.

Next time I hear it, which should be sometime soon, kittens will die.

[Ellmeister]

This pains me to say it but...

THEN DON'T SAY IT.


Also I'm not a fan of cock up my ass...but it was an example anyway.

[MoogleViper]

Also I'm not a fan of cock up my ass...

That's not what you said last night. ;)

[ShadowV7]

"I don't mean to be funny, but am I funny?"

Also the sentences:
We need to talk...
I don't want to sound nasty but...
Your a great guy and all...

Are the scariest sentences known to men.

I've had "We need to talk"
I've used "You're a great girl and all"

I've also used "It's not me, it's you" that was awesome.

[ipaul]

I don't mean to be racist but will all Coons, Darkies and Negroes please step off the plane.

Your a great guy and all...
But lets just be friends!

"It's not me, it's you" that was awesome.
Hahahahah!! Harsh but so funny! Why did you use that just out of interest? (if you don't mind me asking)

[Ellmeister]

I've used:

"I like you and all, but we are just too different.."

it was good fun.

[The fish]

"Don't worry, it's not you..." has just been used on me.
Yay? :blank:

[MoogleViper]

"Don't worry, it's not you..." has just been used on me.
Yay? :blank:

I'm always here for you. ;) :love: :heart: :kiss:

(my god I'm becoming like coolness)

[RoadKill]

I fucking HATE it when people say that. Normally it's women. Fucking fucks me off.

"I don't mean to be funny but-"
"STFU!"

I agree, absolutely.

I fucking hate this phrase, and it needs to be banned. Almost everytime some stupid airhead uses it, they follow it up with something that IS them insinuating offence, or being "funny" as it were, criticising that person

[AshMat]

Hahahahah!! Harsh but so funny! Why did you use that just out of interest? (if you don't mind me asking)

Girl turned out to be a real wierdo, and i actually didn't like her as a person :|

One of the many i went out with, without getting to know them.

Actually, in the space of a week i was going out with her, she turned from.. regular girl into emo/goth.

Christ, what'd you do to her!? :heh:

[Dante]

Eh..scouse sayings. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scouse)

[Coolness Bears]

I'm always here for you. ;) :love: :heart: :kiss:

(my god I'm becoming like coolness)

Haha! you know you love me. ;) :heh:

[Eddage]

"Can I ask you a question?"

You just did you fucking idiot...

[Iun]

I'm always here for you. ;) :love: :heart: :kiss:



You... you... you're cheating on me?

Best one ever happened a few years back:

"I don't mean to be weird, but my girlfriend just brought me some of her period in a jar."

The other one I hate is:

"It's only a game."

I now warn girlfriends in advance that saying that signals they wish to end the relationship.

[Jordan]

"I don't mean to be weird, but my girlfriend just brought me some of her period in a jar."


That is the incorrect fluid to be put into a jar.

[Iun]

There was some kind of chemical imbalance in her brain that got worse during TTOTM. She had to be kept in the house during that week, for fear of incidents like that.
