It’s downright hilarious and pathetic to listen to today’s young people whine about “being offended” by so many things.
Obviously raised by spineless morons, these 🐑 and ❄️s are an embarrassment to modern society.
Some comedians once made their careers on insulting people, Don Rickles will forever be the king of the insult comics. If you were at his show and he didn’t go after you, you literally felt like you did something wrong and a bit shortchanged, it was kind of an honor to be insulted by great comedians like him, because we all knew it was all in fun, nothing personal at all.
Then two men came along that upped that game, they took it to a new level, nothing was taboo, nothing was “too far” for guys like Sam Kinison and Andrew “Dice” Clay, but they still did it with a manner of style where sophisticated adults knew it was all still just about the humor, we weren’t offended because we were grown adults who understood that the context was in a joke and the intent was humor.
But, then the “pc police” started raring their empty heads, slamming Clay & Kinison for anything they could get their hands on, “this is racist” “that is sexist” “that’s not scientifically correct” and a whole host of mindless drivel that the media ate up like fresh fish, using this fodder in smear campaigns to further an agenda of victimhood for anyone and everyone they could. It was a major regression of a civilized society and this regression continues in the Karen’s war against humor.
George Carlin was the one to first push the envelope to the extremes, yet still keep it in the direct context of humor but still making people think about issues. Carlin still used his humor in the proper context and with the right intent, Sam & Dice just took it to the next level, but still kept it in the context of humor.
Comedian and PhD, Yakov Smirnoff talks about being a comedian in Russia and that jokes had to be submitted for review before a comedian could perform them in public. Is that where we are headed? The land of the Free? The land of Free Speech, headed for having joke police? Modern liberalism would like us to go there, even though any educated adult knows that such a thing is absolute foolishness. …what a country?
Dice was banned from MTV (which I’d certainly consider a badge of honor) and Kinison was banned from Saturday Night Live, this only upped their popularity and exposer as Rebels in the world of comedy.
Kinison was labeled as one of the most offensive comedians ever, he was called names, vilified and hated by people who refused to grow up and try to think like adults. To them, he was a “horrible person”, but nothing could be further from the truth, I knew Sam, he was awesome, a great guy who loved his fellow human beings with a heart bigger than that big old overcoat could ever contain.
It’s time that we not only start to laugh again, but laugh hard at those who would shackle and condemn laughter, just because they refuse to grow up and live in reality. Let’s all LAUGH AGAIN!
