I was on a show w/ a compound media guy. He asked a guy in the front row if he was gay 5 times, told an Anne Frank joke, said one of the black comics in the back couldn’t read, and then said we were “uptight” and we could meet him at the bar if we disagreed. He left immediately
The idea of “pc culture” is a gift to the worst comedians in the world because it lets them pretend they don’t just suck ass at comedy
Comedians write jokes, which require a punchline. If you lack the talent to come up with punchlines, you need to get a reaction some other way. Shock value provides a replacement. They defend that crutch to the death because otherwise people will realize they can’t write a joke
After the can’t read joke (silence) he said “c’mon, lighten up, [the comic] is laughing” to which that comic replied, “nah, man. I’m not.”
