Topic	Hot Take: If you need to be offensive to be funny, you're not funny.
AloneIBreak 10/31/21 12:14:13 AM #23:	Seems pretty false. You can hang your hat on offensive humor and still be funny. Being offensive in and of itself isn't necessarily funny though, and some people are funny without it (Brian Regan comes to mind). The whole "if you're offensive, you're not funny" argument reminds me of the anti-alcohol stance where "needing" to drink to have fun is a sign of how not fun one is. Just good old-fashioned puritanism. --- CE's friendly neighborhood rationalist. <cite>AloneIBreak posted [p:959551313] in Hot Take: ... [t:79736439]...</cite> <quote>Seems pretty false.
