You've called people dumb frick and used the word lulz in this thread. You shouldn't be criticizing anyone's intellect or ability to debate.

No, that's where you're wrong. Just because the jokes now about something close to you doesn't mean you get to pull the offended card and say it crossed the line. Funny is funny. There's a reason comedians have different followings, different fans. Comedy is subjective.

You pulled a clip that decontextualized the entire bit, and then you don't understand the bit because of that very decontextualization. That's certainly not an honest method of debate. And it's a weird thing to get upset about.

If you want to know what is comedic about it, we would need the whole clip, and not just a small part, which, despite the biting unbelievably obvious tone, you seem to have misread, to a degree that I think it's intentional.

I didn’t say that. I don’t give a rat’s arse who says them. It’s the saying “we should have more white kids shot” that has me wondering how he or you or anybody could find that funny. Kids getting shot isn’t a joking matter.


Satire isn’t understood by everyone...and by everyone I mean you.

This is like when Isaac hayes left South Park when they made fun of Scientology. He was perfectly okay with them bashing literally anything else but his own cult.

i'm thankful we have TigerFanInSouthland to set the standards of decency and etiquette in comedy.

thoughts and prayers to the white people offended by this abhorrent bit by Chris Rock.

I don't even need the context. Saying cops should kill a white kid every once in a while to make it look good is funny pulled out of context.

You can joke about anything as long as it's actually funny.

Within context, absolutely. No one is gonna get far saying offensive shite that isn't at least clever it well done.


One of my top 3 comedians is Patrice O'Neal. I love how he was honest all the time and didn't give a frick. Always said "racist" shite, but his context was second to none.

I don't even want to see this. He's always pretty solid on Conan.


It was like watching something die in front of me. He was doing his typical Burr type conversation with Colbert, and you could hear a pin drop because Colbert was acting so awkward every time Burr said something even remotely non-PC. You could tell the audience picked up on his energy and really pulled back.

As an aside, anyone else think Rick looked really weird in that special?

a snowflake, is a pejorative aimed aimed, ALMOST exclusively at the SJW crowd as they find themselves offended by a majority of traditional norms

A person who feels that it is wrong to tear down Confederate statues is NOT a snowflake.

A person who thinks that white women doing yoga is a wrong, and improper cultural appropriation IS a snowflake.

When I hear a comedian saying something racist, like more white kids being shot, and I call that racism out, I am obviously not a snowflake.

I think it's pretty hilarious regardless. With the full clip we could at least break down all the parts of the joke so this moron could get it.

I don't understand how anyone could misread his tone.
