I keep thinking about Blazing Saddles and how people like Joe would complain that you can’t make a movie like that anymore. Because society has moved forward. That’s a good thing! There’s still more taboo territory to explore. There’s a reason why Sorry to Bother You is funny now and might not be as relevant in twenty

I like how white guys have to worry about imagined threats of things that haven’t happened but they think will, while everyone else has to worry about shit that is actually happening to them right now.

No, no, no, no, he means REAL COMEDY... like making fun of little people and throwing them around comically or having a black guy bugg his eyes out at something shocking or having someone play a funny Italian pizza maker with a thick accent or a Japanese guy with thick glasses and buck teeth.

One of the very few instances of a straight white male noticing the reactions of people around him and learning from them came this weekend when my nephew said that he realized that people who weren’t on debate teams stopped talking to him when he treated everything they said as up for debate. He said “I guess not

I saw him do stand up on NYE many years back solely because I loved News Radio (not him specifically, but I thought he’d be alright).

I just want to be able to think, say and do racist and sexist things without consequences! Is that so wrong to you SJWs?????

Imagine being a 53-year old multi-millionaire crying this much about the culture. Imagine moving through the world and being so very hurt by this stuff. Walking around your giant compound, chartering a private jet, all the staff buzzing around you as they clean your toilet and maintain your pool. Jesus what a fucking

What he’s talking about is criticism. What he’s complaining about is he wants to be able to make anything he wants and say anything he wants and for no one to criticize it. What this supposed “free speech warrior” is demanding is that people who would object to anything he might say or keep their mouth shut. That

I’m going to paraphrase the great Julia Louis-Dreyfus and say that when guys bitch about political correctness and being “cancelled” what they’re really complaining about is that they’re actually going to be held accountable for saying shitty things.

JFC there's a reason no one laughs at Al Jolson anymore. If you can't get with the times, maybe you're bad at your job. 

I wish white men would get cancelled. Then I wouldn’t have to hear their whining every goddamn day about how they’re cancelled.

“Can you make a good comedy movie any more, or have they made it so dangerous in terms of being cancelled, that comedy movies are no longer something you can do?”

It’s almost as if comedy is a highly contextual medium, Joe. As the cultural shifts the comedy has to shift with it. If you don’t like it, make better comedy

Some people just couldn’t get excited about her. Plus they were too cool to care.

“I just couldn’t see myself having a beer with her.”

“The Supreme Court doesn’t matter in the long run” or “quit trying to hold my vote hostage.”

Don't forget, "Oh, she's just so strident!"

Yeah all the women who this will effect, how’d that work out for you?

That’s why they’re doing it this way. Abortion remains technically legal - so they can keep driving voters to the polls by campaigning on this issue - but there are so many barriers to actually getting one if you need it that it may as well be illegal.

But Hilary just didn’t INSPIRE me to vote."
