      “I’m gonna show that I’m not afraid to mock this upsetting thing that most ppl don’t find funny” is not brave. It’s not hilarious because it offends some people. It’s a FORMULA, and an increasingly lazy one.

      I don’t spend a lot of time judging the quality of other’s comedy (it mostly just comes off as adolescent & insecure). My taste isn’t the law. People like what they like. What do I care? Some comedy sucks. What do I care?

      But there is some comedy that sucks and it’s bad for people imo. Some comedy sucks and it’s bad for comedy imo. And if I yell “Boo!” that is not censorship. It’s just not a laugh. And if you tell jokes that’s the risk you run. No sense crying about it.

      “In today’s environment (fill in blank w name of legendary stand up) wouldn’t succeed!” Stand up from 50 yrs ago wouldn’t work? No shit! Comedy is the most perishable form of entertainment. Shit just stops being funny. We’ve all watched old SNL’s & experienced this.

      (Also comedy is on a continuum. You can’t pluck someone out of the historical timeline and plop them down somewhere else. Today’s comedy is what it is bc of yesterday’s comedy. The jokes of today have to be what they are because of the jokes of the past)

      I can’t say that the hackiness of what Louis said was the main thing, because he said some fucked up stuff (i.e., denying bravery of Parkland survivors advocacy is untrue. Shitting on trans ppl is small & mean). But wow, was it lazy. Wow, was it EASY.

      Now there’s a lot of revisionist history about Louis’ work, mainly that he was never funny. That is not true. Years ago Louis could be stone cold brilliant. About relationships. About parenthood. About the fucking human condition. That’s why this is all such a bummer for me.

      We are seeing a cliche in action. Comedy man meets consequences. Comedy man becomes “truth teller” by fishing in a barrel of societally sensitive topics. What a gigantic yawn. What a waste. What a lost opportunity for an artist to do some art.

      The PC police are not ruining comedy. It is a challenging time to be making jokes. You either accept the challenge or retreat into a past that was easier for you. I hope that this kind of selfish, easy, decency-contrarianism soon becomes as hack as airline food and mother-in-laws

          The fact you bring up the PC police shows there is a PC police problem. Comedy is comedy, it’s open to ALL forms. Laugh or don’t. It’s that simple.

          Being "non-PC" does not automatically make comedic material funny. Louis CK is substituting "non-PC" for "funny", cashing out on the capital he has built up in his name. I.e. he's a cheap-ass substitute riding on *his own* coattails.

          Yeah but more importantly comedy really shouldn’t have to be anything, including PC. Stand-up has blown up these past few years and now the masses will suffocate it with norms. I, for one, hope comedians collectively defecate all over these opinions.

          My point, is that comedy comes in ALL FORMS. Comics should have the freedom to be PC or non-PC. You can laugh or not laugh. You can attend a show or not. What’s funny to you may not be funny to others and vice versa.

          While you make some good points, you miss the elephant in the room: today's younger generation(s) are humorless. They are scared to laugh at anything outside the box for fear they will no longer be the "amazing!" persons they've been told they are for their whole lives.

          Buddy our sense of humor is literally like 200x more advanced than yours. We straight up laugh at the dumbest shit all the time. It ain’t hard. Just don’t be racist.

          My contention is that the younger generation wants to censor *others' humor*... while at the same time pursuing and approving only their narrow sanitized humor.

          No. The point of this thread is that younger generations are trying to shut down humor others think is funny but they dont. I'm not trying to shut down Mellenial humor that I don't think is funny. I just choose not to partake. Get the difference, "Dude"?

          Yes. And it’s based on your paranoia and fragility, because no one is censoring shitty comedians.
