It's Not That Deep

The humor comes from the double meaning of "deep". The friend is saying the jokes about self-harm aren't funny, because self-harm is a serious and sensitive topic, while the person making the joke says it's "not that deep" which refers to the fact that the wounds aren't deep, but also downplaying the seriousness of the topic.

• My mom tells me to stop with the suicide jokes, and I replied with, "It's not that deep."
• "Self harm jokes aren't that deep."
• I had to stop using cutting jokes because they were getting too deep.
• My only friend who actually cares: "Stop making suicide jokes, I’m really concerned!" Me: Okay, I’ll cut it out.
