Glad you asked unwilling audience! Theme is just the set dressing, while thesis is what the joke or story or whatever is about. To give an example of what I'm talking about, the following jokes which I have seen people get pissed off about:\r\n\r\n\"So I was at this party and I ran into Jackie Kennedy and I wanted to break the ice so I asked 'so where were you when Kennedy was-'\" (stolen from Gilbert Gottfried.)\r\n\r\n\"What do 9 out of 10 people enjoy? Gang rape.\"\r\n\r\nTwo jokes which both trigger reactions of offense, however only one strikes me as being genuinely in poor taste.\r\n\r\nIn the first one the theme is the Kennedy assassination, which probably isn't as horrific to most of us as it is to our parents. People will say the joke is messed up and making fun of the assassination because of theme but what is significant is not the theme, it is the thesis which is \"hey isn't it fucked up that we use horrifying national tragedy as an icebreaker?\" The modern equivalent is asking people where they were on 9/11.\r\n\r\nThe joke uses an awful theme for an actually pretty valid thesis.\r\n\r\nNow the second joke has the theme of gang rape, and the thesis of statistics. Its a pure shock value joke and while it isn't mean spirited per se, I wouldn't accuse the person telling it of trying to tell a joke at the expense of rape victims but I can also understand if the response to the joke is \"fuck you.\"\r\n\r\nIn our society people are quicker to judge theme and never take a look at the thesis, frequently accusing something with a racist or sexist theme of having a racist or sexist thesis even if the thesis is that racism or sexism are bad, or if the thesis is completely unrelated.\r\n\r\nDjano Unchained got a bit of this, smug dipshits accusing it of racism be the word nigger ge
