In comedy, there comes times when they make fun of stuff that happen in society, whether it be celebrities and their lives, wars, beliefs, events etc etc. But sometimes in doing so they cross the line between funny and inappropriate. What are some of the cases that u thought this happened.
1 The whole Benoit thing- Ive gone on wrestling sites where i've actually seen people making jokes about it. Come on!!!! 3 people died,joking abt it is just bad taste and not funny.
2 Celebrity meltdowns- when Brittney Spears and Mariah Carrey had a nervous breakdown, movies and sketch shows made jokes about it. I'm sure if it were someone close to the writers, they wouldn't appreciate someone joking about them going crazy./
p.s please dont post anything to get this closed

My personal god, Louis CK, is a great example of this.He's also my hero and the biggest influence on my comedy.
Jim Norton, too.
In relation to my previous post, alot of my writing, blogs, PMs, and things I say off-stage probably fall under the "going too far" category, too.I have very few morals.

You can joke about anything so as long as you're trying to inspire some laughter rather than shock for the sake of shock.

Either it's all okay, or none of it is.
I don't believe in going too far, when it comes to humour. I may not find all of it funny...but none of it goes too far.

I've got no problem making fun of people who've died or the reason they died. Benoit was my childhood hero, but even I laugh a little bit at an actual funny Benoit joke. But there isn't many of those.
I joked around just last night about the guy in the Santa suit who whacked his ex-wifes family.

Yall mind getting back on point please. Here's another one
I HATE people making jokes about God, Jesus or Bible characters. e.g Family guy, Mad Tv. If u do it to any other religion, its being intolerant, but Christianity is fair game.

To me, everything is fair game.I'm not touching religion on here, though. |
