Elias : soo, Alastair, do you spell your name with an “A” or with an “I”?

Alastair : …

Alastair : you’re my father…

you know what i hate about those shock comics like frankie boyle and jim jefferies (there are countless unfunny american examples, but those two comics permeate my household)

you know, beyond the obvious fuckery that exists in their brand of humor

their subject matter is fucking lazy.

it’s not innovative!  it’s not.  it’s the easy way out, really, to make the offensive joke, to laugh at another person’s expense, tell a racist joke when people are being killed for their race, tell a rape joke when one in six women will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime, tell an anti-trans joke when trans people (particularly trans women) are being murdered and committing suicide on the regular

it’s easy to tell the joke when you’re safely outside the situation.

it shows real effort to think outside that box, to transgress that, to use imagination like we were once able to do so easily as kids.  adults taught us that differences were to be mocked - we’re not born with that instinct.  it shows creativity.  it shows that you care about your art form, your job to make people laugh, but want things to progress.  

and when the crass joke is utilized, it should be to make that audience question why they are laughing at this joke - is it from a certain learned experience, from the privilege of living outside that box, or a reclamation of what’s been done to you?
