115: Stop Making Condescending Jokes

Send us a text

We’ve all been there—someone makes a joke at your expense, everyone laughs, and you’re left wondering if you’re being too sensitive or if they were actually just being a dick. In this episode, Rosie and Roula dive into the fine line between playful banter and passive-aggressive digs disguised as “just jokes.”

We get into:

• Why some jokes feel more like punches than punchlines
• The weird way we’re conditioned to laugh along even when we’re hurt
• How to call people out without being labelled “too sensitive”
• What to do when the jokes come from family or people you can’t easily avoid
• And how mutual respect makes all the difference

Ever had to fake a laugh at a joke that stung? Or been the one who crossed the line? Let us know.
