It’s not from WW2, it’s a modern day Nazi/skinhead usage. What you’re ignorant of isn’t history but current sociology. You don't need to be a racist to be aware of what the N word means, either.

Because he seems like a genuinely nice guy who almost died saving his nephew, I will resist the temptation to comment on his music.

Exactly— If these dicks are going to complain “I have a right to be an asshole!” then we have the right to tell them to fuck off for being an asshole.

“We should be allowed to joke and mock anything, everything, all the things, without limits”

And without consequences, which is where the bitterness comes from. There is no law that says I have to find your unfunny business funny. Nor that I can’t talk about how unfunny it is.

Forgetting Bill Maher is always a blessing. I do it all the time, only to be ripped bloody back to reality when he’s trending for saying something racist or bigoted

Daggumit! I’d just managed to forget him. Why'd you have to remind me?

What’s funny to me is when people express a negative opinion about some hack, the folks who think hack is funny are like “You sensitive babies are so OUTRAGED and OFFENDED” When almost no one is even mildly outraged or offended, they’re just like “Dude sucks, here’s why” There are zero examples of anyone being…

Hacks can be funny.

Chappelle is genuinely a smart and funny person, it’s that what passed for insight and humor in his prime has now been accepted and moved on, and he hasn’t. Funny bits he used to do about the police getting on the radio and going, “Calling all cars, calling all cars, we’re looking for a black man between... 4'3" and…

I guess I don’t really understand what “making sure the jokes are aimed at the right people” means, but I find John Mulaney funny and Gervais...not.

I’ve long been of the opinion that no one finds Ricky Gervais as funny as Ricky Gervais does.

The thing about fuckers like Gervais, Chapelle, John Cleese, Rob Schneider, Tim Allen, and others that are always spouting this bullshit about “cancel culture” and “wokeness”, is that their whole schtick is “We should be allowed to joke and mock anything, everything, all the things, without limits”. And then they the…

An amusing thought I had was Gervais finding himself in the Philippines and discovering that his 80's songs were hits there and he’d be more successful as touring has-been musician in the country than as a stand up comedian.

I’m not one to be offended by jokes. But I am offended by comedians who sideline comedy to complain about people being offended by jokes. 

I demand that everytime someone praises the Office or Extras they strongly note Stephan Merchants writing.  Everything Gervais writes that Merchant isn't involved with is notably shittier.

Rickles was actually clever and funny.

Heck, when the black employee says he knows what joke Brent is telling, Brent backtracks and shames the employee for making the joke. Brent helps steal Tim’s shoes and throw them on a pub. He witnesses his employees pantsing another employee and starts cackling “tickle him! Tickle him!”

He wasn’t exactly a villain; he didn’t make crass and racist jokes because he was ideologically driven. David Brent tells jokes because he just wants people to like him, and he often knows when he’s crossing a line.
