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 was on a group call with the family sipping coffee and my coffee mug has a donkey on it and in the middle of cross talk, my mom blurts out "Is that a DEMOCRAT mug?? Did you vote for a DEMOCRAT??" which derailed the entire conversation. I shit you not, I had my copy of the little red book on my side table that I was reaching for like I could summon Mao himself to smoke those reactionaries, but I just let it go. At least Gaza didn't come up because I probably wouldn't have had the patience for that.

me on a farm looking at the donkeys: Is this a DEMOCRAT farm?? Are farmers voting for DEMOCRATS now??

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

Voting farms are on a whole new level.

[–] goose@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would like to know more about this donkey mug

[–] invo_rt@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's really nothing special. It's a hipster looking anthro donkey in a six pack of mugs from costco.

[–] goose@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I had to find the mug worth blowing up a conversation over:

yes-sicko

It's literally nothing special. It's not even collusion

I’ve had a guy tell me “this PC culture has gone too far. You can’t say anything anymore” as he was pulling up Netflix to show me some “unchained” comedy special lol

[–] Comp4@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Thankfully my family is mostly checked out of American culture stuff. I think my dad doesnt even know what woke means.

“Am I woke? Of course I am! How do you think I drove here?”

[–] M500@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dave Chapelle is an open transphobe

[–] axont@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

I hope they're just blinded by nostalgia for the Rick James skit. That was genuinely funny. Everything Chapelle has done in the past 5 years is stereotypical antiwoke rich comedian complaining

[–] Edgarallenpwn@midwest.social 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] HexBroke@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

I think louis CK is back

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)

My uncle did a couple jokes from and references to family guy and south park. I am certain I'm the only person in that room under 60 ans the only other one who got his references cause they were from episodes that came out when I was a pre teen and I wasn't giving him any satisfaction, so it fell flat.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Some family guy jokes are good

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think it's just due to sheer volume of jokes per episode, but yes. They have had some gags that hit really hard. There's one where Stewie has one of those kids toys with the wheel of fortune wheel for different animal sounds but from a foreign language so all the animals noises seemed wrong which kills me every time. I think it's from being a French immersion kid and learning different languages had different animal noises that kind fucking stupid if you're not used to them. Like I'm French they think dogs go "removed" and like, sorry, they don't.

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hate when my dog starts saying racial slurs, really kills the vibe

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It's pronounced different, soft J. I dunno if there's a comparable sound in English to convey in text

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Haha I can’t even see the word it just says removed. Just thought it was funny that the French dog sound got caught in the slur filter

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's the short for Japanese one

Been watching a few comedy specials on Paramount Plus and every one has had this sort of rant where people are too sensitive and can't take jokes. Said jokes are the most unoriginal bullshit that people have been saying in bars for decades. At least make your jokes worth paying the admission fee for.

[–] WithoutFurtherBelay@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Has anyone seen that one animation trying to claim the Wokeists were doing this exact thing? It was some pale, bald, punk looking character saying anti-capitalist stuff and they kept being handed money for no reason. I think it was maybe made by the same guy who made the stupid “I am a CIS STRAIGHT MAN” meme

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah it's really funny comsidering how many leftists are banned from places for saying mild shit like "fuck the police" and "cracker"
