Explained perfectly. There is no war on comedy. Only bad comedians.

Because their goal isn’t comedy, it’s cruelty and when audiences don’t laugh, they’ll never take accountability for the lack of comedic skill. They blame the audience.

This is how I feel about Chappelle. one of the best comics we have but insists on dragging Trans ppl

A big issue too is all these “anti-woke” right wing comedians want to be the next Bill Hicks or George Carlin but they don’t realize those two would hate everything they stand for and would view them with complete contempt

Big difference between making a racial joke and making a racist joke. Same for making a sexual joke vs a sexist joke. These jokes come from different places and some don’t understand that.

Yep. Some people don’t want to hear it, but they got cancelled because they weren’t funny enough. Skill issue, not a cultural issue.

jeselnick taking on the entire roganverse, and extended roganverse in Chappelle, was not on my 2025 bingo card. not that I didn't think he was good but he is taking them all to task. good job

I think "punch up, don't kick down" applies at an unconscious level

I recall hearing Ricky Gervais express frustration at push back for his comedy, and my first thought was ‘odd Jeselnik seems to do just fine. Imagine that’….

The Nightlife Survival Guide :
Anthony Jeselnik gets away with atrocious jokes about different groups because he is brilliant and hilarious. The same could be said about Carlin, Hicks and all the other giants who get passes when they do racial, sexist or other controversial jokes. It's clear to any reasonable person when something is funny because it's funny and not because it's rooted in hatred. Jeselnik nailed it on this one.

Yeah, like when Seinfeld whined about cancel culture while Larry David was still thriving. Glad Seinfeld retracted it though. I think some people use bad comedy to validate their bigotry. Good comedy can be about anything

You’re supposed to poke fun at everyone but speak truth to power. Punching down is not ever impressive or needed - authority figures are already doing that. if you’re a good comedian, you use humor to seriously call out what’s wrong
