re: The Shane Gillis controversy is having an effect.

Tulane co-eds around Audubon Park are unaware of a controversy.

The actual core of the joke was self-deprecation. It was about how he showed up in the background of vids and pics looking like a big creepy dude.

I don’t think anyone disagrees, it was the hard W on the whore that got people I think. Which is just how Shane rolls, taking it to the max with the shock factor. It is what it is.

Its a pretty basic and poorly written joke klark.

You can just say you’re siding with the overly sensitive gym hoes. No need to suddenly cosplay as a comedy expert because the joke stepped on one of the Left’s sacred cows.

No klark, it's poorly written and lazy. I think norm Macdonald is one of the best comedians of all time and his joke about gays being proud of being gay is a great joke and well written. Theres a lot of things you can make work in comedy that are offensive, but this wasnt one of them.

Pulling the Norm Macdonald card here is the comedy version of “I have a Black friend.”

I’m still not buying that this is some sincere critique of joke construction. Gillis isn’t an overt Leftist, and the joke targets the exact type of women you reflexively defend. That seems to be doing far more work here than the “writing.”

I haven't been to the gym in so long I didnt noticed that women dress like whores now is a lazy setup. If you're going to go the whole women whore gym route you have to be at least slightly more subtle. Abrasive doesnt work here, its relying too much on vulgarity of the joke without any humor to back it up. Theres plenty of women that would support a bit on women filming themselves just to try to find men looking at them (and dont pretend they wouldnt, they would)

Sure klark, I mention a joke I like where he specifically attacks gay people and this is what you deduce it to because it breaks your argument. Never change.

Except that wasn’t the entire setup or the punchline. The bit moved from an absurdly specific description of neon, artificial-bait-colored shorts, to “don’t look because they’re filming,” and finally to Gillis being the creepy fat guy trapped in the background of ten TikToks. The insult was the bait. The punchline ultimately turned back on him.

You stripped the entire bit down to the one phrase that offended Leftists, then declared the version you created lazy and humorless.

You’re free to dislike it. Pretending there was no humor beyond the vulgarity is simply inaccurate. Never change whatlittleiknowsofar

It was the setup to the joke about how women dress. And in comedy if you're going for abrasive the humor has to be right there with it, and he took too long to get to the actual joke.

Which again, took too long to get to.

I showed you how the joke was poorly written, you disagree, and want to reduce it to a left vs right argument.

Oh thank you so much klark. I needed your approval to do so.

Again, your ignorance knows no limits krazy klark kent. Never change.
