Samantha Bee - End of Cruz Campaign

PlayhousePals says...

As with many things, humor is ultimately subjective. I find her refreshing. Also delighted to learn recently that Louis CK [whom I also admire] enjoys her as well.

Maybe she'll grow on ya? Or not ...

Her humor falls flat with me for some reason.

Talking Tapes

It worked for me, random glitch perhaps? The list of regions allowed is fairly extensive, so it's probably not blocked (are there any missing? Canada and the US are both included):

Gas employee beats family's dogs with wrench

newtboy says...

F*ck that. I see some douchebag in my yard swing a wrench at my dogs, he's never leaving the yard. I don't care a whit if he has a reflective vest on. I don't even care if he has a gun and a badge, it'll be high noon at the OK corral and we'll see who aims better.
That guy damn well better be fired, and the gas company sued.
I would like to see his name and address posted. He needs to lose a few teeth and an eye himself.
If you go into someone's yard unannounced and they let the dogs attack you, that's 100% YOUR fault. I don't think that's what happened here, the dogs seemed to already be in the yard and NOT attacking until he swung the wrench, but even if it was what happened, the guy and gas company are still 100% in the wrong....and the guy is really damn lucky to be alive.
I shouldn't have watched. This kind of crap boils my blood.

Bill Burr on First Ladies

Lambozo says...

When you start off with heres the deal, it sounds like the follow up is gonna be an immutable law of comedy, rather than why you personally find jokes funny.

Bill does actually touch on something true here: a first lady/man is not elected to office, the president is, and yet is given a platform anyways (albeit an unintrusive and politically safe one).

This is a fact that doesnt bother me in the slightest, unlike bill ( or perhaps bills character), but i still find the arguement pretty funny.

Bill's style of comedy is different from luois ck is finding the humour in an agruement against the audience, rather than one on the side of the audience. I think there is as much brilliance in this as any....

Comedy at its core is a performance, not an essay, lecture or real arguement. It may be, just as a performing art can be anything, but it does not have to have a bone of truth in it. Perhaps its patronizing to say thatcomedy is about laugh and everything else is optional, but people seem to have forgotten this.

Bill Maher: New Rule – There's No Shame in Punting

ChaosEngine says...

In order to be insulted, I'd actually have to care and it's been a long time since I even remotely considered giving 4/5s of a fuck what Maher has to say.

The difference is Louie CK is actually funny. He does witty and original stuff and can make even something as horrible as child abuse screamingly funny (all without picking on the victims).

He's also self-deprecating, which is a trait common to most of my favourite comedians.

Whereas Maher is a self-aggrandizing knob end, who happens to at least be on the sane side of the political spectrum.

I'm happy to laugh at myself, but only when the material is actually funny.

First off, he's not talking about everyone who plays video games. He's talking about people who ONLY play video games to the point that they're socially maladjusted. Big difference.

And even if he was talking about the geekier video gaming crowd, I don't even understand why it even registered on your radar as insulting. If you're a group that's actually discriminated against broadly, fine, but nerds? In this day and age of Mark Zuckerburg and Bill Gates? Really?!

It reminds me of this Louie CK bit.

Us poor nerds these days, with our solid paying upper middle class jobs and even higher, with college degrees! Pity us!

Just have the ability to laugh at yourself from time to time. Trust me, it's all going to be ok.

ChaosEngine said:

yeah, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't call it out.

It's a lazy stereotype and honestly, these days it's about as funny, original and accurate as saying "hah! women! everyone knows they can't play sports!"

If you're going to pull out a lazy stereotype at least be funny with it.

Bill Burr on First Ladies

bareboards2 says...

Here's the deal. Louis CK can say the horrible things but they are to their bones true.

This isn't true. It presumes that the spouses aren't partial partners in the journey, working hard, learning the issues. Being role models.

Burr is stuffing these women into the tiny box of "spouse" as if that defines them utterly.

It has been true of some spouses.

But clearly not Hilary and clearly not Michelle Obama. And it wouldn't be true of Bill Clinton.

It's funnier when it is bone deep true. Then you can say "sexist" and "outrageous" things and they make you laugh in recognition.

No recognition from me here.

Comedian Paul F. Tompkins on Political Correctness

ChaosEngine says...

Except that is not what happened.

The complaint was that Carr (and by extension the One Show) had breached broadcasting standards. Ofcom felt that he did and gave a lengthy explanation of why they felt that way.

You are entitled to disagree, but let's be clear here: he is not being incarcerated or tortured.

He made a tasteless (and not particularly funny) joke. People called him on it.

Let's compare that to Louis CKs bit on pedophiles. His joke was definitely uncomfortable, but it had an interesting point: before you condemn someone as a monster, maybe try to understand why they do such awful things.

Whereas Carr just said "hah! dwarfs are short, geddit?!". It's exactly as Tompkins described... it's lazy and unfunny.

...But calling up Momthe Government and saying "that comedian made an offensive joke, I demand that you fine (/incarcerate, /torture, /summarily execute) him!" is just insane.
