buddhamonster 02/10/21 10:05:03 AM #8:	My personal belief is that when it comes to comedy, there is nothing that is off limits. The caveat being, you have to actually be funny. You can't just start ranting about this and that, with no jokes, then go, "I was only kidding! Omegalulz!". You have to actually have like... jokes and stuff that make you laugh. --- Hey Trashcan Man! What did old lady Semple say when you burned her pension check?

lemondrop7 02/10/21 10:05:37 AM #9:	Solid Sonic posted... Kind of like "no one is safe" mentality where any subject can be spoofed, even if it's taboo. the thing with this mentality is it depends on your ability as a comic. south park balances knocking on everyone by doing it with actual humor and balance. look at how south park handles the n word as a joke and concept. they won awards by the ncaap for doing such a good job. look how they handled subjects such as autism and handicapped people as a whole. Jimmy for example is a handicapped character with a stutter who his parents believe god punished them for them making fun of disabled children. if that was just the only joke, then it's just them ragging on handicapped people. but they turn jimmy into an actual character, they give him personality and motivations and it creates a hilarious topic that while "offensive" is actually wholesome. if youre just going to get on a podcast and start yelling about the n-words and muslims and try to make it comedic as an excuse to just be a piece of shit, no one is going to want to listen to you or will call you out on it. --- This signature is used so that my one line posts aren't swept into the wedge of you wall of text wankers <cite>lemondrop7 posted [p:950483951] in Is it okay...

MrMallard 02/10/21 10:30:23 AM #14:	I wouldn't say so. You're not exactly enlightened if you follow up a joke about a close-minded Republican with a joke about how immigrants in ICE detention centres deserve to be sprayed with caustic chemicals, for example. A joke about Ronald Reagan's mind turning to mush and a joke about a patient of the AIDS crisis having too much buttsex don't exactly cancel each other out. --- I can feel it in my bones, I'm gonna spend another year alone.
