I can't lie I laughed at these. Even after my uncle committed suicide a few years back I still can appreciate the black humor of these. That said.... Yeah to anyone else I don't blame you for being offended by these though. Boy oh boy I have no idea how these got approved

The weirdest thing was how the first one was supposedly meant to be serious as a means of explaining how destructive the Hell in a Cell can be to anyone in it. So you're watching Armageddon, when suddenly Tim White shoots himself and the show just keeps going on from there. It was bizarre.

In their own bubble, they were just some weird black comedy. In the scope of WWE, and starting a few weeks after Eddie Guerrero died? Jesus Airbending Christ, what were they thinking? Yeah, I was not a fan of them at all, although I will admit I have uses the "Mr. White, that's not wise" line a few times in my life. The later ones did get a chuckle out of me a few times, but god...it was gallows humor at the worse time to be embracing gallows humor. It was also genuinely disconcerning that they were basing the whole thing off of Tim's in-ring career coming to an end and him being (kayfabe) suicidal over it.

they were funny but pointless in terms of any actual storyline/character development

I still quote "MR. WHITE, THAT'S NOT WISE" in random conversations.
I love black comedy, and even though these weren't the most clever skits every created I did find myself laughing at them more than I'd care to admit.

Yeah there's no way you can blame people at all for being offended as these skits were shockingly offensive. I do have quite a dark sense of humour so I did actually find them a little funny
Especially the one where Josh phones the police, gets put on hold and the Basic Thuganomics theme can be heard

I was annoyed when Josh showed up a week after being killed off.

I enjoyed them enough during the time, but then a few years ago, I had a coworker commit suicide in her apartment. On the day her body was discovered, I needed something to cheer me up, and it was a Thursday, so I decide to checkout the newest Wrestlecrap induction.
Well, wouldn't you f***ing know, it just had to be Lunchtime Suicide.

It'd hilarious for anyone who suffers from depression or has to explain to their kids what suicide is. Oh that Vince and his wackiness towards everything. I do, but I still find them funny, they are in such insanely bad taste that I can't find them offensive. On the other hand as others have said, I totally get why they aren't funny to anyone in that camp.

Not to mention that they eventually got so over the top (the amount of blood that splatters over Josh after Tim White sticks his head/whatever into the fan) that you can't really take them seriously at all.
