Offended By A Joke? Shut Your Stupid Self Righteous Face
We get it, you’re not a rapist. You’ve never been molested, never been overweight, never been Jewish. You don’t know jackshit about abortion and it’s consequences because you use protection even when you jerk off. So you LMFAO when you hear that joke about an Israeli abortion doctor who raped a fat pedophile.
But god forbid someone makes a joke that hits close to home. Something you relate to. Then it’s Not Funny. Then it’s your right to stand up to the standup and interrupt their set because your brother is autistic and THAT’S. NOT. FUNNY.
Here come the status updates and tweets about sensitivity towards children and muslims and the handicapped. Telling people you hate rape jokes is the same as donating time and money to a rape crisis center, amirite?
Fuck you, you selfish pile of regurgitated shit. We see smug self righteous preachers like you every night. If you’re such a white knight, why weren’t you outraged by ALL the ‘offensive’ material? Catholics have feelings too, as do Telemarketers, Asians and Fatties(tm). You probably shit your lily white pants laughing at their expense, so shut the fuck up when I roast your retarded cousin.
Standup comedy is one of the last bastions of free speech (I’m getting so sick of saying this every week) and you came to the show of your own volition. So if you laugh at the rest of the world’s pain, and whine when it’s your turn, go back to your tightly-wound hellhole of a life and sulk by yourself.
Nice rant. That’s exactly how I feel ppl are like woh, you just crossed the line.
You performed on the first night that I decided to become a stand-up comedian and went to Yuk’s Tuesday Open Mic. That, ‘…more stoned than a rape victim in Iran’ is my favourite joke of yours!
I’m sure there were people who were disgusted when Louis CK called his daughter retarded. Me, I loved it. It was refreshing to see someone call little kids out on their bullshit. Imagine if Pryor didn’t start talking about race?
As long as it comes from a genuine place (i.e. Jason Rouse speaks like Jason Rouse, Patrice spoke like Patrice, Paul Mooney speaks like only he can, etc.), I find crowd’s will respond.
For example, I recently made fun of Native Americans…I’m sure a ton of people didn’t like it…but it was as much about natives as it was about Chris Columbus: http://michaeljagdeo.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/toronto-comedian-improvises-native-american-jokes/
Oh, and besides, as the new breed of comedians, it’s our job to push things forward (see Mark Cuban’s article on Not Listening To Your Customers). We’re comedians, not clowns.
Yup. Most audiences are savvy to your intentions, if you’re not coming from a hateful place then they usually ‘get it’. There’s always a tight-ass in any room or outside of one, but as a comic your job is to speak your mind, not pander like a politician.
So I say, make them native jokes and don’t say sorry, because an apology implies guilt and there’s nothing to be ashamed or guilty of.
