That show was garbage anyway but it's obvious that no one is allowed to make a joke about anything ever again or risk losing your job.

He was stupid for going there in the first place.

Rule # 1 for comedy: Know your audience.

I think anymore it?s a problem with anyone hearing it or finding out you said something that doesn?t fit the PC culture we have. Hard to be a comedian these days.

It's just as much, if not more, of a know your employer situation. You can't get away with stuff like that in a corporate environment on TV or the radio.

Whatever.

Corporate propaganda outlets are all the same bland bullshit from carbon copy clones spouting the same talking points ad naseum.

All the best comedians and news commentary types are on the internet anyway, posting content where it's still mostly ok to be an edgelord.

Though even that's going away, especially for anyone who's the least bit conservative in politics and edgy in their humor.

I'm curious to know the context of when a school shooting is funny. A law school maybe?

I find Bill Burr funny, and he's not PC and still producing content.

Would it have been any different if he said a terrorist attack? School shootings are downplayed here so often I didn't imagine anyone would think this wasn't funny.

Also, there is nothing wrong with comedy right now, it's as good as it has ever been.

[Justin]

Eh. He still keeps his politics within the realm of the culturally acceptable, though his stuff leads me to believe he's holding back.

On an unrelated note, he had a supporting role in last week's episode of The Mandalorian. I've noticed a bunch of comedians showing up in bit parts or supporting roles on that show.

Yeah.

And Nickelback is a great rock band.

What do you think the comedy scene is lacking right now?
