In this thread: A bunch of old guys living in the past pissed off at me for crapping on their teenage icons.

Sorry grandpa. The shite just isn't funny. I'm out. Continue hollering at the clouds.

Lol. Then don't watch them, candy arse. You're just pissed off that your virtue signaling was called out for the humorless bullshite that it is.

What a bitch you are. Shite is funny as hell, and you are upset because your edgy BS was proven wrong.

Grow a pair of balls before you try to express your “feelings”, again.

I'm your age or less. Dean Martin would roast your arse for being a humorless and sensitive and Don Rickles would make you cry.

If you don't find it funny that's one thing. Personally, Im a huge fan of CK, love Tom Segura's latest three shows, got to see Burr in NOLA right before the pandemic broke, etc. I love filthy comics, and one that will say anything knowing that if they make it funny there is nothing off limits. There are tons of comics and tons of styles and not everything is for everyone.

Problem is, that's not the argument you made at first. What you said was:

quote:

I always heard Dean Martin was the king of cool. However, in these roasts, he is quite visibly drunk. But not a "cool drunk", an "unprofessional" sort of drunk. I guess they just rolled old Dean out there and said, "Drink up handsome, you'll do fine." It was sad.

Then the roast. Wow. All the jokes are centered around Sammy being black. How original.

They all took racist shots at him, and Sammy just did his act - fake laughing - the whole time
.

Your issue seemed to be the subject matter was inappropriate. Glorified drinking in a way you don't like, mentioned race in a way you don't like. You came off like a guy that only enjoys alt comedy and finds Hannah Gadsby inspirational.

And then when challenged, dropped the "you guys are triggered" line which is adorable, then just played the "old guys" card as if that was an argument.

Yes, the TigerDroppings M/TV board comedy threads are populated by a bunch of octogenarians who grew up idolizing Frank and Dean and the boys. You show more of your intelligence with each post.

It's fine if you don't think it aged well, but

1). Dean Martin was famous for his drunk schtick. It was part of his Vegas act and TV appearances for years. Well before my time, but it's just part of American entertainment history.

2). You must not pay attention to the modern Comedy Central roasts if you don't think they'd ever tolerate racist and sexist humor, or allow guests to appear on camera visibly impaired. Check out some of those uproarious Lisa Lampanelli jokes about how she bangs black guys because they're stupid but have big dicks, but aren't as lazy as Mexicans. Really deep, nuanced humor there.
