Today, I was hanging out with my friends, and we got the idea to do some improv comedy together for a laugh. Barely two minutes into our fake political debate, everyone had apparently forgotten it was all a joke. Raging ensued, and a vicious fight quickly followed. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I pranked my friend and started a fake fight. However, she opened up and admitted to doing a bunch of stuff. We've now stopped being friends. FML
Today, my boyfriend and his friend were talking politics when my boyfriend referred to several female politicians as "yappy feminist scolds." They both laughed like oafs. I couldn't kick them both out fast enough. FML
Today, I found out that my friends have been "fake laughing" whenever I make a joke just so that the situation doesn't get awkward. FML
Today, I was having an argument with my girlfriend in front of our friends. I didn't want her to spoil my good time, so I ignored her until she disappeared. She re-appeared thirty minutes later just to throw a punch that would make Muhammad Ali jealous. Our friends' reaction? They clapped. FML
Today, I thought my neighbors were having a loud argument, so I went to knock on their door to make sure everything was OK. They weren’t fighting, they were rehearsing lines for a community theater play. They invited me to the show. I still haven’t recovered from the embarrassment. FML
Today, I tried to tell a funny story at a party, but halfway through I forgot the punchline. I panicked and awkwardly mumbled something while everyone stared at me, waiting for something funny to happen. FML
Today, I was having a debate with my friend, who actually believes karma is real. He got very angry with me and stormed off, tripping over his own feet in the process. I laughed and asked what he'd done in a past life to deserve that one. He responded by getting up and punching me. FML
Today, I confidently told a joke at a party, only to completely butcher the punchline. Everyone still laughed… at me instead of the joke. FML
Today, at an open mic comedy club, my jokes went down so poorly that someone decided to hurl a chair at me on-stage. FML
Today, I went to a political debate, and now I'm more confused than when I arrived. FML

Don't joke about politics. Just don't. It always ends badly.

Reminds me of the radio broadcast of War of the Worlds. People didn't know it was a play and mass panic ensued...

#26 or a smack to the balls in a failed kamasutra attempt.

My class has presentations about events in Canada and whenever someone does politics as a topic, we have a full on "debate", everyone is yelling and crap we took up a whole class once. Best part this is in highschool, we still know nothing about politics.

It ends badly for Americans but in other countries they are more vocal about thoughts and although they argue they get along afterwords (dual citizen, usa+spain)

That's the most fun part about debates, even if it starts out as a joke. You're supposed to get mad.

But it was a fake political debate, which means they should get fake mad!

Just like most of the internet.

Try saying something so wildly inaccurate that they'll have to realize its a joke. If that doesn't work, follow up with a, "umadbro?" And your best impersonation of a troll face.

Religion and politics create the most arguments.

Good friends never discuss religion or politics.

There is an exception from every rule.

Not true. Real friends can talk about anything and disagree without a vicious fight.
