Cards Against Humanity is a game that has recently gained much fame (or perhaps infamy); it is very similar to Apples to Apples, but very different at the same time. In this game, each player chooses several white cards from a pile, and then each player takes a turn as the "card tsar," judging a back card that has a question or an incomplete phrase. Each other player submits a white card that they feel best answers that question or completes that phrase, and then the tsar chooses the one that they feel is best, and the player whose answer the tsar picks wins that black card.
The controversy and infamy that surround this game are the result of the fact that most of the content on the cards is violet, sexual, scatological, or otherwise offensive and politically-incorrect, meaning that this is a game that should be played only by and with people who are not easily offended and are good friends of each other (as a side note, I would recommend that one never play it with their parents or offspring, only their close friends).
My friends introduced me to this game some time ago, and I have found that I enjoy it very much. I consider myself to be a fairly easygoing person and am not easily offended (although I do oppose racism, sexism, and other forms of political incorrectness very frequently and strongly), so playing this game is definitely a favorite activity among my friends (although M:tG is still our favorite card game of all). We have had some very hilarious and epic combinations in our games, and my particular favorite (thus far) was the following: the current player drew a black card that read: "In the new Disney Channel movie, Hannah Montana must deal with _____ for the first time." I submitted a white card that read "wet dreams," and two other players submitted "masturbation" and "Lady Gaga." The active player ultimately chose "masturbation;" I had been hoping that they would choose my answer, but all three were amazing, so any one of them would have been a completely hilarious answer!
Has anyone else here ever played Cards Against Humanity? What crazy and humorous combinations have you formed in your games? I do hope to hear some interesting and awesome answers.

When it comes to Cards Against Humanity there usually is no right or wrong answer as long as it's not serious or literal which I learned the hard way. For example, one of the players at my table drew a black card that read: "I drink to forget _______." which I answered with "The Devil himself." where one of my friends was like "Dude that's not funny" while I tried explaining to him that it wasn't meant to be funny as I was being literal about it when I answered it. Soon after the game was finished I later apologized for that terrible misplay where my friend replied, "Don't worry about it, it's just a game. :)"
I know I probably shouldn't have made such a big deal about it since I didn't want to offend my playgroup however I wasn't using my good common sense at the time when I should've picked a better answer. In all seriousness though for Christians such as myself it's important to remember the Devil's wrong doings in order not to repeat the same mistakes he made so that we can be saved by Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. If you follow a different religion than I do or just simply don't care then don't worry about it. If you have a dry sense of humor like myself you might enjoy Cards Against Humanity unless you tend to get easily offended which can happen periodically.

CAH is a fun game, but it doesn't have a lot of replay value for me. They released it under a copyright that allows people to make their own cards though. I'd be interested to try someone's custom set.

My brothers and I played it with our mom and step dad and got to have the hilarious conversation of explaining what pixelated bukake is >_>
Awesome game though for sure.
