"Martin thought drugging someone was perfectly acceptable until he realized how that would make him look. "

Dunno, but I think it was called The Green Room with Paul Provenza. I just found it by falling into a Youtube blackhole a while back.

A discussion between comedians, notably Lizz Winstead, Bill Burr and Colin Quinn, on getting offended by jokes.

Yeah, but Martin Freeman is also the butt of the joke in his joke, too. He's making himself like Eric Cartman or Archie Bunker. He's painting himself as an blatant scumbag, and pretending to not realize it.

Everyone on Jezebel, watch this before you get offended by comedy:

You should watch this clip where Bill Burr kind of debates Lizz Winstead

What people should take away from this is that sometimes comedy really does operate on multiple levels. You obviously get this.

Have you ever watched Tough Crowd? Have you ever heard Louie CK, Bill Burr, Jim Norton, Nick Dipaolo, Kevin Hart, Dave Attell, Marc Maron, Colin Quinn, Sarah Silverman ("If we can put a man on the moon.... we can put every man with AIDS on the moon") Keith Robinson, Jay Mohr, Patrice O'Neal, etc., etc
