Some sources claim that originally, limericks were supposed to be naughty. They didn’t become popular until the 19th century when author Edward Lear was at the height of his popularity. The exact origins of the limerick are unknown, they were likely spoken between friends long before anywhere written down.īut this first published limerick came about in the 18th century. Knowing that we’re not the only ones and everyone else does makes us feel comfortable. Many of us might like to think we’re sophisticated and high class, but at the end of the day, we’re all just animals, and we have urges. Breaking the taboo in such an unapologetic way causes a shock which some react to with laughter. We have created a social taboo around the topic. This is likely because of the prudishness that we have towards sex in our society. Many grown-ups still find jokes about sex laughable.
X-rated comedy can be looked down upon by comedy snobs, but there are a large number of people who find these sorts of jokes funny, and not all of them are teenage boys. Most of the time, such comedy is talking about things which are x-rated, this could be the act itself, or just talking about related body parts such as butts, breasts, fannys, and d*cks. Such humour is sometimes looked down upon as “Gross” and “Yucky”. This form of comedy is known as Ribaldry or Blue Comedy.

For others, it’s far funnier for a daughter to run off with her dad’s money, and for that story to be told using puns. So for some, the idea of a man with a thing big enough for him to suck is the height of comedy. Although it was still pretty funny.Ĭomedy is subjective. The first one was unfortunately not quite as X-rated. However, even this version is not the original Nantucket based limerick. Watch the video: Only 1 percent of our visitors get these 3 grammar questions right. I have to be honest, I’ve never actually met this man or anyone from Nantucket for that matter, so I couldn’t comment on the accuracy of this claim. There is another one which is just as crude, but this time, about a rather well-endowed man. This poem was not the original dirty Nantucket based limerick. What’s great about this limerick is that it’s a funny poem which turns our expectations of what poetry ought to be.
