| Topic | Haha yikes at some of Kevin Hart's old tweets |
| AdviceMan 12/05/18 9:41:44 PM #63: | metralo posted... yknow i always wondered why he didnt get flack for that in his first big stand up comedy. like, I guess i can get why would wouldn't want a son to be gay if you wanted biological children, i guess but kevin hart was not that way at all in that sketch. Kevin Hart's whole thing is that he's ridiculous in responses and "honest". Furthermore, since his audience is largely black, mild homophobia isn't seen as much of a bad thing. A charitable interpretation of the joke is him being honest about his relative discomfort with homosexuality. Him knocking over two kids because one boy his grinding on his kid an the corduroys makes a grrrr sound is hilarious. I dunno though. As someone who grew up with a lot of black people, the fact of the matter is that joke is just "real". It speaks to the audience, because "that shit is gay" is just one of those lines that is part of our culture. It's not compatible with mainstream sensibilities, but comedy doesn't have to be. --- "I'm not racist but, BLM sure did make me racist." -Skasa I'm just here to offer you advice, take it or leave it. ...
