But what you’ve really gotta wonder about is these folks who get so upset by this thing, because I did not see it. What was the recent thing with Budweiser and the transgender model ? Or “influencer.” The transgender thing, they get psychotic, but the influencer thing doesn’t disturb them? Somebody comes out of nowhere and all of a sudden this person is an influencer? I still don’t know how this fucking happens. Well, I do, because it’s really-c’mon guys! It’s a bunch of adults in the room. You are able to latch onto that and enjoy it in some ways, it seems. I feel that you kind of thrive in those moments, too, where you get to react to the groans. And you kind of go, “Here’s what the joke was about, the joke wasn’t about what you think it’s about, you stop listening when you hear a word.” I know that I’m gonna say something and they’re gonna kvetch about it, they’re gonna get irritated. I mean, some of the guys stopped doing colleges, partly out of “PC,” partly out of “woke.” But I was always kind of prepared. Some of the reactions are so over the top.ĭo you feel like this is a new phenomenon? Has it increased over the years that you’ve been doing this, that people somehow feel personally offended by what are just jokes? Yeah, it just kind of dawned on me that they were reacting as if I had a knife in my hand and was going to come into the audience after I said the joke, and come up to them and rip open their chest and eat their heart. Essentially you tell them, “I’m going to be telling jokes, but you’re going to be feeling insulted.” I love what you say at the top of your new special, where you set up the expectation that the audience is not going to hear your jokes in the way that they’re intended.
