      Stop getting angry at jokes. It makes you look silly.

      Stop acting shocked when an intentionally offensive joke actually offends some people.

          Ask Ricky. He's the one who started this.🙄

          There’s a little too much pearl clutching lately for stuff like that

          Stop pretending you are offended at jokes that probably don't even target you.

          I don't think Ricky exhibits shock, per se. It's more akin to him being aghast at some people's inability to truly understand what it is he's saying.

          Agreed. Some people don't understand sarcasm / subtext

          Stop following Ricky, if you're that offended. There, problem solved. 😸 Now on to that mess in the Middle East...pic.twitter.com/fGrk9CJPUn

          I guess comedy isn’t for you, sir.

          Replying to @cheesesalsa @FemaleParts and

          I can recall a few interviews where Ricky said that he doesn’t go out there with the intention of offending anyone.There’s a difference between “offensive” comedy & intentionally offending people. Ricky’s jokes aren’t offensive to me but I have to agree with what @gorskon said.
