Dave Chappelle Sticks and Stones

and again, those links i shared say otherwise...

...and your opinions on the comedy legacies of those non-pc chaps is just that: an opinion.

They don't though, the articles are part of a debate. There's no proof to what you are saying.

Of course it's an opinion, as is yours but as you're stating it as a truth it'd be good to have some basis that these people have been hurt because of some culture ware or liberal left being excessively outraged.

Jerry Sadowicz had his TV career terminated because of a joke that became mainstream 30 years later on. And is still one of the absolute greats of stand up. He also never performed in Canada again after the opening 30s he did at Just for Laughs in the mid 90s.

Which show?

Remember when Vice used to pride itself on pissing people off?

when Gavin McInnes was editor, who's now persona non grata.

as he should be, that man stands out as a scumbag even among the far right

why's that?

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

Which show?

He did a Jimmy Saville joke before it was cool and was never seen on the bbc again. Although putting a red nose on his knob and pleasuring himself then saying "hows that for comic relief?" In his stage show probably didn't help.

Frankie Boyle is basically a rubbish Sadowitz.

 

[tsubaki]

why's that?

Because unlike the people that actually believe and act out on that nonsense, like Yaxley-Lennon he has monetized it - making spreading hate his living. He's raised fortunes ($250000 to defend himself in the suit he launched against the SPLC, for example) out of peddling hate.

if anyone hasn't seen them, here is the best:

I'm a bit surprised there hasn't been a push to start a new Chapelle's Show on Netflix. Give him free reign, it'd be great. No sponsors to bitch and moan or pull their commercials in protest, just let it rip. People want to stick their head in though, creatively...hence why he bolted in the first place. Let artists be artists, they'll prosper or fall on their own merit. Netflix is a weird model, though, so I don't know how they sustain it. Chapelle's Show wasn't high tech, though, so it shouldn't cost them much to produce...you'd have comic/actor fees but you think they'd be happy to take a bit of a cut just to not have someone whispering "don't do that" over their shoulder; ESPECIALLY comics.

Anything bordering on offensive isn’t advertiser friendly and a company like Netflix would never allow him to do anything creative. He’d have writers take control over the show. At least with standup he could speak his mind. It’s not a comedian friendly world right now really.

I don't know about that

The people who write GLOW seemingly have no restrictions put on them

They have swearing, sex, nudity, you name it

 

[nsno-chris]

The good old SJW crowd rolling into town, being upset about words and then telling the world that’s it’s not acceptable and tweeting the horrific psychological damage they’ve endured from watching it.

All completed from their safe space

Writers and performers LOVE Netflix. Once they commission you, they just give you the cheque and leave you alone.
