I didnt think this needed to be said but making a joke at a bystanders expense, particularly a hurtful personal attack, is not ok.
Sure jokes are give and take with some good natured ribbing but this strays more into carless, or potentially malicious territory.
Nah, it is good natured ribbing 100%. People who are alone for 28 years in a row either are completely inept at human interaction or don’t want a partner / aren’t ready for one. The first case is incredibly rare, in the second case you probably are secure enough in it to laugh with them. And at the end of the day - it worked to get the cousing to start laughing and stop thinking about how hurt they are.
“make her feel better for 5 minutes by making him feel worse for… however long that scar lasts, oh, and you can’t find a relationship because you suck” has got to be the shittest take I’ve heard all day

Wow, you’re a twat.

For half a second? Because surely that joke didn’t cure her sadness.
Yeah no shit. Still helped.
