Q: What are the two people that it is most taboo to make fun of?

A: Jesus and Hitler.

Yes, if you think about it, those are probably the two worst people to make fun of. Many, if not most, people would agree that to make fun of Jesus or Hitler too much would be in very poor taste. However, consider this: Jesus and Hitler are, in fact, the two most widely made fun of individuals in history. I find it very ironic that the these two taboos are, in fact, the most touched upon from the world of humor. Don't you?
