i think the only ep of this show i havent listened to is the david cross one because of how bad everyone said it was

It’s really not that bad. They’re all just being ultra ironic the whole time and there are a couple funny little moments. They are doing it through like a cell phone call and it’s really early into the show so there is def a disconnect. It’s not bad though.

What was the song that Nick & Stav were trying to sing to the tune of in the longass singing portion of last week's regular ep? The one where Nick ends up saying that it's all been downhill since the Australia trip. It seemed kinda specific and they were on the same page with it, but damned if I could pin it down.

i'm literally a gay Jewish man and got called a Nazi for defending the right to say fa- i mean, for some hosed up poo poo. then got probated for a month cause I got mad about that.

it's important to "take back" offensive language to erode the power slurs have. "ironically" using offensive language displaces the target of the humor from the marginalized person to the type of person who uses that language. when nick said he thought "kink" was a slur for a Chinese jew, he's not making fun of Chinese people, or Jewish people, he's making fun of dumb loving racists.

it's a thin line to walk, sure, but the notion that it encourages naughty real life behavior is insane. trump didn't get elected because of naughty things people say online and posting with a pure enough vocabulary won't get rid of bigotry.

the only thing that really matters is improving material conditions for marginalized people and building solidarity so that the actual bigots don't have so much loving power. this seems so obvious that i feel stupid for saying it, especially in the cum town thread. in conclusion I'm gay.

An important aspect of jokes is being able to understand the difference between the subject and the target of a joke. For example : I love women, I believe they are better and greater than men. Also, if it wasn't for women, we could not have any cookies.

The SUBJECT of that joke is the sexist stereotype "women should be baking". The TARGET of the joke is the stereotype itself and the dumbasses that have those types of sexist thoughts.The mod and people reporting this thread have demonstrated they can't understand the difference between both those things. If only I knew of a name I could use to describe them...

ok but have you considered that some re-, uh, I mean, not very smart, not-gay guy could read your post, and assume it was tacit approval to say the "f word", therefore outweighing any context for your post and/or your worldview? for some reason?

the target of the joke is still women should be making cookies tho so that joke sucks, bad example


the kink one is a much better example lol holy poo poo it leaves you the listener to do all the processing and you're just there spinning it over in your head for like a minute, "wtf is he saying"

here, in the cum town thread?

I guess its kinda the same prob the subreddit had, i was starting to become unable to tell the difference between the bigots and the jokes. I hold the cuimtown thread in higher regard than reddit and after hanging around here for a while feel mostly comfortable that posters here know how to wield it

1st of all, the joke is:

https://twitter.com/normmacdonald/status/1217279691494588416?s=21

2nd of all: the target of the joke is the deliverer of the joke, because the joke and its delivery infer that the Joke-Teller is themselves ignorant of women and their roles in politics. The whole point of “ironic blank” comedy is to highlight how loving [REDACTED] people who really think that way are.

Yeah I mean ultimately the “point” of it is to just be funny, but I think it is important to point out that you can say hosed up things that don’t come from a hateful place, and if you don’t understand that internally, you’ll never understand that style of comedy and spend all day cancelling people on Twitter like Aimee Terese

To Nick’s credit, one fo the best things about the podcast is his ability to fluidly move from doing a racist accent bit to a deep and well reasoned deconstruction of comedy back to a bit about how all Chinese people are prostitutes.

Also it completely owns that Norm just recycled his own joke
