I talked with my friend:
1. I thought his joke was in very bad taste.
2. I think his joke was in very bad taste. (Is it correct?)

Thank you.

If the joke was told that recently, you're making a comment about it almost directly afterwards, and it's still how you feel, then I would use "think". However, after the evening is over and you're on your way home, if you referred back to that joke, I would use "thought".
