dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Who else had to put up with family complaining about wokeness this Xmas?

Comedy has always been uncreative under capitalism, racism and bigotry were just another easy crutch for the uncreative comedian and you only found it funny because you're a racist dick

I only overheard the first few minutes of the Rickey Gervase standup that Netflix is pushing.

He talks about this a bit and how people say he would get canceled and can’t say whatever. He says that he did say it and had the #1 standup special and got paid to make another.

Basically just disproved that this was actually happening.

I think there were a few people who got cancel, but I don’t think it was in relation to what they said in their standup routine.

The only comedian I can think of who got cancelled was the guy who played Kramer lol. But then Larry David and Seinfeld invited him to be on their shows. Besides he’s probably really rich from Seinfeld. So basically it was an early retirement.

And Ricky Gervais fans are something else lol. He made jokes about celebrities being friends with Epstein and Weinstein at the Oscar’s or some award show and everyone was uncomfortable. And every Reddit lord and Very Smart Guy we’re certain that he was going to get assassinated or blacklisted from Hollywood.

There is Louis ck, I think Kramers thing was not part of his set and instead was a racial outburst. I think chapelle got canceled for something, but I’m not sure what happened exactly, but I think it was something he said on Twitter.

The Kramer thing was him yelling slurs at hecklers. He then did an Apology on Letterman and it was extremely awkward
