Talk about unfunny, sheesh.
Btw, that laughter sounded like a laughtrack to me.

Anthony Jeselnik is a "shock" comedian that wants badly to be Don Rickles. One slight problem, Rickles was funny and Jeselnik isn't.
-
Don't know who's the bigger idiot, Anthony Jeselnik or the people that actually sat in the audience.

I'll second that.

Not funny if you are going to be offensive at least be funny.

The golden era of comedy has come and gone.
It existed in a culture where people had moral ethics (be it religious or non-religious) and most treated those as they would like to be treated.
Comedians didn't use 4 letter words to shock people, to get laughter. Creativeness, slap stick, falling down was funny. And when that was dried up, along comes the Lenny Bruce type of comedy in the 60's.. Lenny bruce was one of the first to use shock comedy tactics, but then it turned into a political platform for him to defy cultural policy.
Comedians turned to more and more shock to get laughs, still holding to a base of 'daily things we all do' but using more shock tactics and expanding the areas that we, as a society, were willing to accept. Our morals, ethics decayed, and the comedian began to take on a strange new twist with shock.
Today we live in a world where few people have good moral ethics (and no, I'm not talking about religion, I'm talking about 'doing the right thing' type morals) and comedians have to create ways to shock the masses in more creative ways since we, as a culture, are immune to decades of shock-n-awe comedy.
That's why you end up with HazMat comedy like this guy employs.
The end.

Trade us Avianca Böhm and you have a deal.

I tried to watch that show as it came on right after Tosh.O. It was very hard to muster up even the slightest giggle. That show just sucks and is not funny at all. Tosh.O on the other hand... brilliant!

Jimmy Carr does it right...

I have to agree with that. Daniel Tosh is as offensive as shock comedians come. He can make my stomach turn with some of his gross-out bits, but he's funny.

How about the idiots who take offense to a show with the word offensive in the title?
Ultra offensive comedy is a art form in its own right. He might not be any good at this particular style, but people with their panties in a ruffle over something a standup comedian said need to calm down.
-
The comedian is a idiot and his routine was in bad taste. So is referring to the USA as Amerika because you're pissed off at one idiot.
-
What wrong with "Dear Amerika" ?
-
The deliberate misspelling Amerika often refers to a future USA that is either Communist or Fascist. It may have something to do with the Cyrillic alphabet.

We don't take offense to the show. We take offense at the guy not being funny on a network with the name "Comedy".

That's just silly.

That's not really for you to decide, Mr Norwegian.
-
Now I'm really offended! That's not what we call ourselves here!
No, not really.

About the same as "Dear Nordgay" :P
-
Lol! Not quite ;)
-

Because it points out the Germanic heritage of the English language which is certainly embarrassing to the point of being insulting.
I mean, imagine our proud strong language having come from such grueling sounds as Dutch, German, Swedish, Norsk.

You may have offended me, so im going to use my free will and choose to ignore it.
Good day to all. :D

Any deliberate misspelling gives the appearance of derision.

Or "tongue in cheek" depending on context.

Calling the USA "America", also offends a lot of North, Central and South Americans.
Jelselnik is an arse. I pay $150 a month for this crap on tv. I'm getting ready to pull the plug on cable tv. I do like the internet connection speed.
Edit
Not that they like USA, but we Americans all live in the America's.

You have offended my family.....and you have offended a shaolin temple.

I am un-offendable

Same mr bat :)

It was more to do with Amerikans historically calling Kiwi's commies/socialists because of our free healthcare/schools/lack of carrion-lawyers.
..and FWIW I'm in Beijing at the moment... devil amerikans!
(p.s. I found some F-35 plans at the flea-market, anyone wanna buy a copy?)

I have no idea what this is about Alfa :cry
Is it true the biggest investors in China are Americans?
Why are we getting another German plane, they smell Chris3 told me :old:

I think it's the other way around.

Whatever you say....Frenchy :D

I believe both are correct. National investments are rarely one-way deals.
