Anyone else remember South Park episode Jared has Sides? Takes 22ish years before something is funny. Probably not this but it was pretty close to that for timing.
I agree mostly but you do need some time, that was sort of the key, not the actual timeframe. The best jokes one month later would not work regardless how good they were. Well anywhere in the US. Even you said a decade later, that's over half an adult worth of time for a human growing up.
I don’t need your agreement. I was joking about plane crash that killed all our government, the day after it occurred.
Probably the key is to not have anyone you care about in it so to say because that would definitely make you sad for few weeks and also obv choose your audience in a sane manner
