Lil Swamp Booger Baby posted:The jokes I sometimes hear about comparing white moms to black moms and the white mom is all hippy dippy and understanding and then the punchline is some form of "but the black mom would just whoop your rear end!" are extremely disturbing and I see them incredibly often. It's doubly upsetting because of the abuse rates a lot of poorer black kids suffer and you realize a large part of it is just behaving as if it's an acceptable status quo and something to look back on and laugh as if it doesn't have catastrophic lifelong psychological effects, not to mention the obvious stereotyping and claiming it's some general attribute black mothers have instead of a symptom of generational abuse. I'm sensitive to it though since I grew up in a household where the first response to misbehavior was corporal punishment. People internalize it differently, some people think it's okay and have to accept that or otherwise they have to admit their parents were lovely (and then they likely perpetuate the cycle) or you become extremely against it. Maybe the comedians responsible weren't beaten enough as children.

Lolol let's pile on this subway/bus and pretend like we're normal commuters. Then suddenly do something wacky and hilarious, like expressive pretend lightsaber duels or freezing in place for five minutes, so that the other passengers think we're quirky and spontaneous. Then recede back to our classroom and cannibalize Jerry because he was shooting pretend lightning from his crotch instead of his fingers and not putting enough pep into his backing "ppffftthhh" sounds.

QuoProQuid posted:I’ve been to some truly dire stand-up before but the absolute worst show that I’ve ever been to was in DC and revolved around a guy repeating the day’s headlines in a rough, joke-like cadence. I want to go get drunk and watch this happen live. I think it falls under my cringey brand of entertainment. Big Beef City posted:People who quote South Park 20 years after the fact.

gary oldmans diary posted:watch horrible bosses and pay close attention to jason bateman throughout the movie. he does nothing and in the blooper reel that plays during the credits he looks like he cant even tell when something amusing happens and just laughs because everyone else is already laughing. you can see the smile cautiously creep up on his face when the first person laughs and once everyone else is laughing he feels confident to join in

when that upon Maundy Thursday the jugglers do gather in the square and present in staged mimicry the trial and crucifixion of our sweet Lord the Christ, they do oft-times include scenes of irreverent humor, such as the nail-makers competing who shall craft the nails which are to pierce the tender flesh of the living God and their gambols thereat, and though the crowds may laugh at these japes and antics yet betimes i have thought how they would not laugh to see the dolorous and grievous wounds of our Savior that these nail-makers are wont to make.

you know a stand up comedian has lost it when the audience claps instead of laughs usually happens after brave, "taboo" jokes about donald trump, lgbt or christians and yes this happened to chappelle. he is still funny, but a ghost of what he used to be on the stage.

improv has a nice culture in japan due to the boke/tsukkomi system. the boke is the funnyman, or person who acts like an idiot either intentionally or not. the tsukkomi is the straight man, calling out the boke and working as the "anchor". think abbot and costello style but in 2020. where improv benefits is that the system has a built-in way to say no to lovely material while not bringing the mood down. some amateur in a big variety show steps out of line with a joke? a senior comedian does tsukkomi, maybe smacks his head lightly, and the atmosphere isnt ruined. this does bring out the hell of super bad tsukkomi. imagine a comedic duo in america where one guy goes "what the heck!?" after every joke without being sarcastic. the record scratched and facepalms in movie trailers work at a similar level.
