They're KINDA funny, but only from the realm of "AHAHAHAHA Jesus christ why didn't you keep that poo poo to yourself"

It would have been mostly benign in relation to his usual humor if the whole "I keep her as my slave and poo poo" wasn't there

It is funny how if Artie said that on the show, it'd be a total non issue. Howard would chuckle, Robin would say he's terrible, and they'd move on with the news.

This. If you're going to be racist, you better be funny. Otherwise you're just, y'know, a "racist".

I'm having flashbacks of Michael Richards yelling "friend of the family!" in front of an audience.

I worked in a warehouse for four years. Never heard these kinds of jokes. I'm from the Midwest, so maybe in New Jersey when you see a hot black chick you immediately go to "I want to be a slave owner and whip her," I dunno.

For the record I'm not a stupid loving social justice warrior. I hate it when people get butthurt (or at least pretend to be) over something inconsequential and a celebrity is shamed into a public apology. That's way more lame.

How Much Art posted:

The show took a nosedive the last year or two BEFORE he left, because half the show was about the obese, violent drug addict Artie and not the funny Artie.

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
Sal is a dumbass and deserves most of what he gets and probably shares equal blame in his marriage but oh holy gently caress I couldn't begin to imagine a marriage to that shrill, ungodly accent attached to a woman who seems like she walks around with a permanent sneer on her face and sheer disdain for your very existence in her wannabe-privileged life. The tape in and of itself sounds like practically any married couple I know with 3 kids(like my neighbor next to me and across the street) in that it's just sheer chaos all day long but she sounds truly awful.

25 minute mark for the tape.

Agreed, lived all over the country and that long island housewife accent is the worst. Followed by Maryanne from Brooklyn's accent, and then the Michigan Debbie Schlussel accent.

Some of it is the times, too, as they are a changing.
When I went on my first engineering internship in 1992, factories were FULL of pornography. Mostly softcore, but the guys would post pin ups and centerfolds all over the place, and no one complained, because women didn't work there. As the engineering and business functions became more "integrated", this was slowly stamped out over like a 5 year period. At first, management tore all the crap off the walls, and the guys responded by decorating their enormous rolling toolboxes with naked ladies.

Seriously, their attitude was "you can't take this away from me! It's my toolbox, so I can put whatever I want on it!"

That's Artie's attitude right there: no one can take that away from him.

"I's gunna send more troops to Afghamastan" the day Obama was elected will never not be funny to me.

Artie's "joke" sucked dick and wasn't remotely funny, but not because it was racist. Dunno why he apologized since I don't think he's beholden to anyone. Also, moral outrage groups can go gently caress themselves.

A rich, drug addict, "celebrity" comedian crying about PC groups ruining this country was actually the lamest thing about that apology. He built his entire fortune by being the crass everyman but when his unfunny jokes (that kill in warehouses apparently) fall flat it's the PC groups fault.

What a giant baby.

It reminded me a little of the Joe Buck TV show thing, except that he couldn't talk about how funny Michael Irvin thought his jokes were.

The best part of the Joe Buck thing is that to this day Artie swears he wasn't trying to gently caress with Joe. They're good friends, he was trying to help a friend out, blah blah. Apparently the whole appearance just came out wrong or something.

ESPN exec: "You know that comedian who keeps getting in trouble for calling people fags and had a bit in his act where he said friend of the family 50 times in 30 seconds and said gently caress and oval office on the Joe Buck show a bunch of times and has a long history of antisocial behavior? Artie Lange? Yeah, get me him. I work for Disney!"

It was an unfunny, lovely bit, but c'mon man. Frog and the goddamn scorpion.

e: And isn't @midnight a bit too "fruity" for Artie Lange?

Yeah, @midnight's audience doesn't seem like the type of people who would be receptive to Artie's brand of comedy. They basically want smirking people to say things they agree with so they can mindlessly cheer every line because that's what "comedy" is nowadays.

This is the same network that hired Rush loving Limbaugh and then acted surprised when he went off on how the liberal media overhypes black quarterbacks.
