Funny ones, for a start

Which ones? You forget their names?

Do you want a notarized list? Do you want it cited in MLA or Chicago style?

Don't even need a list. Just give me one name. I'd like to hear some inoffensive comedy from a comedian that's excellent at avoiding stereotyping groups of people. Have a suggestion?

I enjoy listening to MBMBAM

Now let me guess, you're going to scour their twitter until you find something that triggers you and then try to present it as a GOTCHA!

No, I'm not. I'm just curious who you like. Do you have a link to one of your favorite skits or routines from them?

Oh yeah, just let me go and look through the notepad doc that I put all of my favorite comedy routines into.

I assumed you've actually listened to something they've said and could just give a reference. Seems like all you did was hastily Google "inoffensive comedy for parents" and just gave the first result.

Well seeing as how it's a podcast, and I don't keep track of episode numbers, I'm sure that you understand that I can't give you an exact timestamp

OMG he made some bad jokes years ago! A guy who never pawned himself off as being a clean comedian used bad words, this is shocking and unheard of. Well I guess we should only listen to woke comics that just joke about Trump, white people and non ironically say latinx.

Its not that he used bad words, its that the things he is saying make it abdundantly clear he sees queer people as lesser


No he was clearly making jokes. The greatest comedian ever said "good jokes and bad jokes come from the same place, and you never know until you say them," and I stand by that. These are obviously presented as jokes, and has said just as if not more offensive things about all kinds of groups. So to say someone clearly is a bigot with no actual evidence than 3 edgy jokes that sucked a decade ago is disingenuous as hell.

Just when digging up decade old tweets with no context to manufacture outrage started to go out of style..

There is literally no context that could make any of these tweets acceptable

"It's a joke" is context enough from a comedian.

Comedy is subjective, just because you don't find it funny, doesn't make it so for everyone else.

Can you explain these jokes and what makes them funny to me?

Can you give an example of an "offensive" joke that you find funny?

Was it the one where some boy was dance-grinding on KH's son's ass at a preschool or someplace? I'd panic too.

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 mean, he's probably a liberal comedian who would call out other people on old offensive tweets so I don't feel bad, but at the same time, doing it in general is a bitch move.

Kevin Hart used to be funny. Around that time actually. The doll house one is funny.

you could make way more offensive jokes on the same subject but have them actually be funny and it would be less offensive than this drivel. but Kevin Hart has always been a terrible joke-creator. i generally like him in movies though, such as Jumanji.
