What I really care about is comedy. I like stand up comedy because it brings me happiness to laugh. I like these stand up comics the most: Dave Chapelle, Louis CK, Mitch Hedberg, Jeff Ross, Greg Giraldo and some others. If you ever get a chance to watch Jeff Ross, Nick DiPaolo or Giraldo roast celebrities you will cry it is so funny. It is very inappropriate and R rated at times but hey, it’s comedy!
I think you can joke about anything. There should be no limits or censorship to comedy. Recently, there was a campaign to get a comic fired from Saturday Night Live for an offensive joke he tweeted. People need to get thick skins! Dave Chapelle has taken heat recently for his Netflix special. There are those who feel he offended certain groups such as the gay community. I feel bad that some people felt offended but guess what? You don’t have to watch it. Turn it off! People felt “Joker” was offensively violent. Don’t pay money to watch it. Am I right? The first amendment (freedom of speech) is protected by the Constitution. It even protects speech that is uncomfortable to listen to. I might not agree with your comedy or your politics but I believe in your right to say it!
The best comics are guys who can drop one-liners like Steven Wright and Mitch Hedberg. I am amazed by these jokes. They are so hard to write because they are short and sweet. I have attached one of my favorite comics, George Carlin, talking about environmentalists!
