    Sorry Kep, but this is a case that says more about your taste than about him. CKL is just a POS for attacking children who are trying to save lives.

      I first heard him do that on (Leno?) and absolutely loved it.

        The outrageous wrongness of the joke is not the problem. The problem is that joke doesn't work.

          The problem is snowflakes don't find things funny when it is something they care about. (On both sides).

          You might not think the joke is funny but there is nothing wrong with the content. George Carlin said way worse...

          If CK hadnt torpedoed his career by being a disgusting creep 3/4 of the people offended by this home wouldn't even care.

            Yes, because there are still people that out there that can see the differnce between a joke and a statement.

              His "my daughter is an a-hole" bit was great, and same with "Know what word I hate? The N-Word. No, not n****r, 'The N-Word'" bit.

                Oh the 'joke' was indeed wrong, as are those about the disabled and child molestation. CKL's not George Carlin. He's Tucker Carlson. But he dupes a minority of people because he wears a smile.

                  I agree CK is not Carlin. Hell, who is?

                  There is a doc out there called "The Last Laugh" that explores how far can humor go? Are there lines not to be crossed? It mainly discusses Holocaust/Nazi humor, but touches on some other subjects, too. Very good documentary.

                  The point is, the more off-limits a subject is, the funnier the joke has to be. Apparently, CK's shooting joke wasn't that funny to begin with, therefore the tasteless lines followed suit.

                      I guess people who don't like holocaust jokes are snowflakes.

                        It wasnt that funny because its not a finished joke. Comedians work clubs like the Cellar to workout their material. Stuff you see in specials is a finished project

                          I thought people from the holocaust were snowflakes

                            There are very wrong jokes that are also very funny. Depends on your sense of humor. The aforementioned Aristocrats joke is SOOOOOO wrong, but I find it hilarious.

                              Why would hundreds of political media outlets carry a full story on that single statement? Because it was funny?

                                As a former civil rights attorney married to a public defender, never come to our home or you'll be triggered in less than 5 minutes by disabled and child molester jokes.
