Who is "they" and why do they want me to laugh and why would it be nervous?
Racist/sexist/ableist/etc humor.
It's a way to make those who are trying not to say the quiet parts loud come right on out and say them. Amazing way to make a bigot squirm, though personally, I prefer alligator clips and a 1000 volt DC source.
DC is ass for electrocuting people, if you're gonna be an edge lord do it right.
Not to mention, where the fuck are you getting a 1kv DC source? Microwave transformers are cheap and plentiful.
When demonstrating how more dangerous that AC was than DC, Edison went around shocking animals, including an elephant, to death. He had to use DC to do it properly...
DC will burn the shit out of you but not stop a heart like AC can
That's the idea.
So then the context is distasteful, ignorant, or bigoted jokes and not simply anyone trying to make you laugh?
