…not to blue, that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind
to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous double-entendres,
or to take up sniffs and by opposing, end them."
I paraphrase. What thinks the herein assembled? 
(Best Jokes controversy).
Same as any post on any subject either find it interesting and indulge.
Or find it not to your taste then scroll on.
Simple as that. 
Is this about whether “Blue” jokes are funny/acceptable? (Which?)
Personally when I see a comedian and every joke is peppered with f*** etc I find it completely unfunny and repulsive and I’m not interested. The occasional expletive where it truly fits the joke is fine to me, but some so-called comedians seem to think that getting in as many swearwords as they can m makes something unfunny funny, and sadly puerile audiences laugh, which only encourages it.
Humour centred on the human reproductive system & all the complex related behaviours can be funny, or better judged as witty.
However, for such not to be offensive or just smutty is a characteristic which is rare. The line is finely drawn.
That’s what I think 
We’ve done this discussion many, many times on the forum. Humour is a very individual thing and there is a really wide variation on what people find funny and/or acceptable. In the end, the only way of managing this is the one that our esteemed moderator has oft quoted - if it’s not your thing then move on, if you find it offensive then flag it and he will review and, in all likelihood, remove.
I’m not a great fan of flagging (only used it once or twice for very offensive & unpleasant posts, and with reluctance.) I’m not sure about just keeping schtumm about some posts in various categories either.
I agree with @crispyduck. What one person may find funny, others may find offensive. Unfortunately, that will never change.
My dad knew Mike Read the comedian who mentioned that the reason they did Blue routines was basically economics. Bums of seats, the audience wanted Blue. If they did a Blue show, it was full and / or oversubscribed, a non-blue shield, sears were empty.
DG…
The same economic argument turned Times Square into a highly unpleasant & dangerous ‘entertainment’ focus with high violent crime, narcotics & communicable disease rates.
One solution would be to have a separate Blue Jokes thread 
Billy Connolly on the appropriate use of the f-word is but a google video search away.
Funny as f.

Seen Bernard Manning in Blackpool his show was a blast. 
Third option is to set one’s account to Ignore anyone who posts a gag one finds offensive. Then one’s Best Jokes thread doesn’t contain material from those one’s taste doesn’t align with.
Personally, I find just scrolling past anything I don’t like does the job perfectly for me. I have very occasionally flagged a post, but more because I was concerned for Naim (whose, er, name is always at the top of the page) rather than for my sensibilities.

My favourite French humorist once said about the English men:
“ The Englishman mows his lawn very short, which allows his humor to fly low over the daisies”. The much-loved English (or angular?) humor bites the lawn as the author loosens his acerbic tongue: “without humor and turf, the Englishman withers and fades, and becomes hollow as a Schönberg concerto, I’m thinking in particular of his string quartets whose atonality based on the serial method breaks our balls.”
Ignoring is a bit like The Great Soviet Encyclopedia where those out of favour were simply erased from the written record.
Also, there’s the once seen - can’t be unseen phenomenon
A smutty thread would be more appropriate
Well, he couldn’t use English spelling, so what does he know?
I know, he was good. Being ex-military, I like the support that Jim Davidson gives the armed forces.
DG…
Being ex-non military, I don’t care for the man, one iota
Pierre Desproges on military men:
“ We must not despair of fools. With a little training, we can manage to make them military.”
In peacetime, all workers deserve respect. In war then, extra is warranted for the armed forces (assuming God is on Our side). The anti-Hitler war was something very different.
