Funny until he asked about our contribution to the country.

fricker, I'll cut off LOOP and see how funny walking to your next gig is.


This is a joke, I'll never consider going anywhere near LOOP

There’s no such thing as a good joke that someone or something isn’t the butt of. If it’s funny, it’s just funny.

What a piss poor rendition of a Cajun accent.


Hey frick nut... if you want to be funny and not come off like a completely unhinged pompous arse prick without much talent being an actual funny man, try and brush up on a proper Cajun accent because it was horrific.


Oh, and BTW... we’re proudly named coonasses, because we consistently laugh at your insults, and have been for many years now. You’re just a miserable frick with a Melba toast forgettable culture all your own. You add nothing to the American cuisine besides your fast food addicted fat arse. I’m not missing a fricking thing in O fricking Hio don’t give a frick of all places.



Of note... never met a person from there who wasn’t just a wee bit off their fricking rocker to begin with, or a complete prick, so there’s that.

Water boy was funny. That was horrible, and what people all over the world refer to when they say “ugly American” ie.. that attitude which elevates itself as superior to other cultures and those others as beneath it’s own superior intellect.

It was ugly, and absolutely not funny. His pathetic attempt at an accent... not very rehearsed, and very lazy.

Nobody likes being the butt of the joke, but every joke has one. If you're willing to laugh at someone else's expense, you've gotta be willing to laugh at your own, even if it seems crude and unfair. Sometimes jokes hew close to home.

I frick with Louisiana more than anyone alive and point out the stupidity here, but that wasn’t fueled by humor. It was filled by hatred and an extremely untalented comic. In no way shape or form was there anything humorous in that routine as it was just another superior arse hat being himself on stage. Give me something genuinely funny to laugh about and I can take it when it has some actual humor in it, but you don’t get to get on stage and say frick you to 4 million people, and then call it “oh just kidding. It’s humor.” That’s not how any of this works. He reminded me of that loud mouth arse hole everyone has in their class in school popping off to everyone, and he made an actual career out of it. I’m sorry, but I didn’t like that arse then, and I certainly don’t now.

I’m sure the majority of the people that are butt hurt are the people with cookie cutter French last names that wear ULL pfg shirts and those hideous canvas slip on shoes.

Comedian says something offensive. Isn't that all stand up?

Y'all aren't really offended, y'all just want others (northerners, westerners) held to the same verbal standards y'all feel socially held to.

Victims!!!

Pretty much this. He wasn't even telling a joke. It was just him on a soapbox about how much he hates a group of people.

I don’t find it offensive per se, but I do find the double standard a bit offensive.

Make jokes about Cajuns, Italians, Asians, it’s perfectly fine, but if he portrayed stereotypes of other ethnicities how would it be taken?

At least get the basis of the joke correct. It wasn't an encounter that he had while in Lafayette. It was joke/story about someone he met from Lafayette.

Comedians make shite up all the time to tell a topical joke, at least this joke wasn't completely made up.

Kinda funny (although I like most Cajun folk), but for some reason I bet this guy opposes a wall to keep actual ILLEGAL immigrants out and would never refer to California as being a Mexican state despite a much higher percentage than Cajuns in LA.

I wouldn't get so upset. The guy is from Cincinnati, which is practically the most racist place in America. Probably had to channel his hate to a group of people most outside Louisiana have never interacted with.

Honestly, if I lived in a boring arse city whose only endearing quality is that nasty arse slop they think passes as chili, I'd be full of hate too.

Edit: Just for example, this is how Cincinnati chili is served:



How nasty is your chili that you have to put a pound of shredded cheese on it. Also, who the frick puts chili on spaghetti? Ask anyone from Cincinatti and they'll tell you how awesome their chili is. No, stop it, your chili is nasty.
