    his job is to be funny. sometimes the jokes land, sometimes they don’t. being pissed about a comedian making a bad joke is like being pissed at a band for playing a song out of tune.

    and the kind of hyperbole you’re engaging in, is the exact thing i was referring to in my original comment.

      That doesn’t tell me where the line is.

      If racism isn’t the line, where is the line? If he makes jokes about the explicit child rape is it over the line or not?

        there is no line, as long as it’s funny. though being able to make an awful subject funny, is hard.

          Got it. You think a long, detailed story about raping a child that makes it obvious the comedian has done so does not cross the line as long as the comedian makes jokes while telling it.

          I’m sure, as you know, ‘funny’ is entirely subjective. Therefore, as long as the comedian thinks it’s funny, since they’re the one telling the joke, it does not cross the line.

          This is based on your own reasoning, unless you’d like to clarify why the detailed child rape story with jokes isn’t acceptable.
