I thought he was joking. I was told this dude was being satirical and sarcastic in his last video, and people just took him seriously. Is he not actually a sarcastic youtube funny-man?

EDIT: yeah I'm pretty sure this is a joke.

Don't bring up the muslims! Don't bring up radical Islam! Don't talk about sharia law!"

Unlike, apparently, you, most of us are capable of being concerned with more than one issue at a time. And for the record Oliver is not slamming the US, he's slamming a very specific few Americans. If you don't think America should be concerned with exporting Lively's kind of hate you're part of the problem.

Yeah... we defiantly shouldn't be holding ourselves to any kind of standards or accountability lets just focus on the insanity elsewhere in the world. USA USA USA!!!!

Let's instead have a hiphopping Lincoln and easy targets like an African potentate with Christian aspirations.

I would also add, that there is such a phenomenon as the chronic and forever sullied, 'man-hating bitch.' ALSO, that these bereft crones chose to pick a fight with a goddamned comedian to prove a point and called HIM to THEIR lop-sided venue with the purpose of making their point scream back at them from the mirror of their own, delusional worldview......Listen, oh ye Muslim apologists to some wisdom from a man who understands fully, the burden of the funny-man:

I care because it's blatantly obvious and her lame comedy is out-shined only by her agenda and the strained laughter from her audiences as she made her stellar rise in stand-up with one lame joke after another while being given free reign and backing to do so by the very cunts who wish to promote the castration of males in society through indoctro-entertainment...

Her scripts lean towards comedy before swaying back towards her ultimate goal. Laugh yourself dick-less ladies and gentle-men.


Thank you Trancecoach.

Fuck another, in a long line of un-funny, man-hating bitches.

This shit is funny man I'm sorry, yeah they might be hurt but it's still funny.

takes a funny man to make "i realized my father was dead" a punchline

*length=2:32 Truly funny man!

Louis C.K. is a funny man

Peter Kay is one of the funniest men alive! I love that he makes the everyday stuff funny. He's not a shock comedian, just a very funny man. It seems that to be a popular comic these days you must be offending someone, it's refreshing to see that isn't the case. Phoenix Nights was one of the best shows ever.

@vaire2ube, I'm glad you brought up Patrice O'Neal, because he is a perfect example of the disingenuousness of the "It's just comedy, folks" defense. There is plenty of evidence that O'Neal was a bona fide misogynist, with genuinely toxic views about women. But because he usually expressed those views humorously, any criticism was met with something like "God, can't you take a joke, you humorless feminazi?"

I'm sorry, but that's bullshit. Hateful views don't get a pass just because they're followed by a punchline. Good (and even some not-so-good) comedians don't just tell jokes, they convey ideas, and those ideas should be subject to scrutiny just as they would be if they came from Rachel Maddow or Charles Krauthammer. To treat comedy otherwise, to treat it as if it is just light entertainment that shouldn't be taken seriously, is to trivialize it. And the trivialization of comedy is precisely what the greats -- Bruce, Pryor, Carlin -- fought against. To anyone who loves the artform of comedy, the phrase "just a joke" should be anathema.

Patrice O'Neal was a very funny man, but he was also a bigot. His funniness does not excuse his bigotry in the slightest. And Tosh doesn't even have that figleaf. His act is shot through with causal misogyny and disregard for the valid concerns of rape victims. Look, that woman shouldn't have heckled him in the middle of the act. But his response was hugely dickish. Especially given the fact that she had just voiced strong sentiments against rape jokes, which in the mind of most considerate human beings would have triggered a little alarm to the effect of "Maybe she reacts so strongly to rape jokes because she is a rape victim."

I'm not familiar with this comedian. Very Funny man =oD
