Comment on Kevin Hart Says He Won’t Host the Oscars Again: Awards Shows ‘Aren’t Comedy-Friendly Environments Anymore’

  You mean slapstick?

  The humor that is funny mainly because you suspend disbelief and watch something else get hurt?

  That type of comedy that practically dominated for several decades?

  The key to a lot of humor regarding misfortune is that it either isn't regarding you, hits a point that is true but not the core of who you are, or is far away enough that you can suspend disbelief.

  In other words, yes, because they're jokes

    That isn’t even the close to the point or even relevant to what I said. Slapstick isn’t random; it’s a setup situation. It isn’t attacking a stranger oh the street then expecting them to laugh about it… Goddamn you people cannot be this thick.

    Misfortune humor is commiserating. It’s punching up to the unfairness of a situation. Targeting trans people is punching down and if you can’t wrap your head around that, then I don’t know what to tell you. Just admit you lack empathy and move on.

      I'd say the same thing to you honestly. You seem too stuck up for humor.

  Does a mean statement hurt your body in the same physical way as a punch to the face? That’s a really stupid comparison.

    Spoken like someone who hasn’t experienced any hardships or loss.

      We get it. You’re a victim. Shut up already.

        Nah. I just don’t get why so many of you don’t like me saying that being awful to people in your material is bad. It’s like you’re all genuinely shitty people. I mean yeah that’s what it is.

      Why is someone who has experienced hardship or loss, going to a comedian who is known for mean/dark humor?

      You can't make humor that pleases everyone every time. That's unrealistic.

  I’d saying paying to go see a comedian who’s work you are familiar and comfortable with.

  If you’re genuinely unsure whether punching someone is a joke then I don’t think you should be joking with people

  • the_q@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    My God you’re an idiot.

    • Kusimulkku@lemm.ee ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      You this

      What constitutes a joke? If I punch you in the face then say, “hey it was just a joke” is it a joke?

        Maybe I was too quick to judge. Maybe you’re a non native English speaker or autistic and can’t understand what’s being said.
