What’s a former theater major? Am I also a former engineering major even though I’m an engineer now? This is such a weird way to phrase the post, and incredibly insulting too.
I disagree. It’s okay to make fun of things that people do, but not what people are. You shouldn’t make fun of someone for having a disability. You can make fun of someone choosing to put all that money and effort into a degree they are only leveraging to work at a haunted house. Not to mention comedy is subjective, so you may not find the same types of jokes funny.
I used to think like you do. It’s a very narrow world view though, and a little bit sad even. Movies, tv, theatre, and music. Those are all probably things you enjoy and spend a great deal of time with, and yet you criticize it and look down on them for it.
We’re talking about ex theatre majors, not people who work in media. I went to a college with a renowned theatre program and I can say first hand that they are easily the most insufferable people of any major. I’ll admit that has colored my opinion quite a bit. The entertainment industry is notoriously nepotistic and the only people from my class that had success were those with rich dads who were connected in the entertainment scene. This breeds contempt amongst them and it’s palpable when you are hanging out with them.

It was phrased to be insulting on purpose because it’s a joke.
Not a very funny joke when it’s a dig at someone.

Former theater majors often don’t go on to anything theatrical. Not for very long anyway.
Sure, I was married to one.
then whats your point? pretty sure you know what it means
It’s insulting and belittling for no reason.

there is a reason, theatre majors are annoying and contribute very little to society.

They’re an engineer, of course they don’t get jokes
I just don’t find it funny to imply i couldn’t possibly be in a relationship bcz I’m an engineer. The joke is overdone, and not even based in reality.
when its a joke that’s repeated over and over with the intent to put someone down it stops being funny pretty quick
its pretty easy for you to say he doesnt get jokes when the narrative isnt about you.
