"Tastefully Offensive originally started as a website for sharing funny and viral content in June 2010 when the Internet was a much different place," Christian Baker, the founder and curator of Tastefully Offensive told Bored Panda.
"It started as a fun side project while I was working as a marketing manager for a wine company. After about a year the website became popular enough to become my full-time job, which continued for around 7 years. During that time, the website branched into several social media platforms including Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram."
Today, Christian is a full-time bartender which he calls his main passion in California’s Napa Valley. "But my love for Internet humor has never gone away," he said. "While the site still exists and is a great source of funny content, my main involvement with Tastefully Offensive is curating the Instagram page. I mainly share content (memes) that I find funny, which mostly get sourced from Twitter, Instagram or get shared with me by other IG users."
Christian says that his Instagram page Tastefully Offensive "basically feels like a place where he shares things he finds funny with 230k friends." He added that he loves when followers of the IG page add witty comments on posts and said that they are often funnier than the posts themselves.
When asked what the name Tastefully Offensive refers to, Christian said: "it refers to my sense of humor, which is sometimes on the offensive side but usually still comfortably sharable with parents and grandparents."
