Steve Martin Live

Last I checked, it's was not the "libbies", Democrats or even moderates who were looking to legislate a segment of our population out of existence.

However, glad you were able to get a good laugh at other people's expense. Now you will have new jokes to share at the next hate-rally you attend.

 

If you went to a show where all the humor was at the expense of whites, would you feel the same way?

 

Comedian Jimmy Carr summed up how to navigate the waters these days.

"You can only make jokes that personally effect you. If you're Asian you can make Asian jokes. If you're fat you can make fat jokes. If your Jewish you can make Jewish jokes. Okay, everyone understand how it works? Good. So anyway, two pedophiles walk into a bar..."

 

That may be an answer to someone's question, but it didn't answer mine.

 

I follow comedy pretty closely. Never got the sense any stand-up is scared of material. In fact, I think some of the funniest lean into it. Because tension gets released as laughter. The important thing is if you're gonna go there, it better be funny.

 

Try again, but first look up the definition of "all" which was included in my earlier post.

 

He didn't go to a show where all the humor was at the expense of LGBTQIA+. You are using a straw man argument.

 

Don’t you think that humor can help introduce the human-ness of that segment of our population and reduce the fear the rest of us might have? Steve Martin and Martin Short are funny guys and not known for cruel comedy.

 

I still don't think you can take that to mean they were scared of doing LGBT content. I mean, maybe. Or maybe they just don't find humor in it or couldn't find humor in it. Chris Rock went at some hot topic stuff in his last special and it was a dud. Because the jokes weren't good.
