daniel tosh @danieltosh
the point i was making before i was heckled is there are awful things in the world but you can still make jokes about them. #deadbabies
I don't know who he is but he doesn't sound very funny.

Do people really not know who he is, though? He's practically universally known around where I live.

But what he said (assuming this is true) was completely out of line and disrespectful even though it made me laugh.

And not to mention it's totally rude and disrespectful to interrupt someone a comedian, or any entertainer, when they are on stage. Those people in the audience didn't pay to hear this chick's two cents about her moral views about rape jokes.

Yes she really should have just sat there and chortled at such witty remarks like “Wouldn’t it be funny if that girl got raped by like, 5 guys right now? Like right now? What if a bunch of guys just raped her…”.
I'd have left, not because I felt offended at the insensitivity, but because I'm offended by how lazy and unfunny these 'jokes' are.

I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to stand-up, but it seems like what he said was just so reactionary, confrontational, and aggressive, there was really no chance for it to ever be funny. he just looks like a monster.

If she thinks he's saying something disgusting then she has every right to tell him that. She paid to see him after all.

If you take anything Tosh says seriously then you need to go see a doctor.

He only went off on that tangent because she interrupted his act. I imagine his bit on rape wouldn't have gone on much longer if she would have been a respectful audience member.

Yeah, because "jokingly" telling someone that you think it would be hilarious if they got gang-raped means that you don't think rape is funny. Like a white comedian making cruel jokes about lynching wouldn't at all be an indicator that he might be racist? What kind of flop logic? Comedians don't come up with jokes out of nowhere, it's often their way of making social commentary. You're not going to be an ignorant, insensitive asshole about a topic that you do take seriously.

She's a Chris Brown stan. Don't be surprised.

Comedians get heckled. That's what happens. That's part of the job. He acted way too defensive/sensitive. It seems he can spew it out but can't take it back at him. What she said wasn't even bad. He needs to get thicker skin.

This will be closed on the first hint of you guys ****ing the thread up.
Don't mess around with a sensitive topic like this.
I won't be gentle on the warnings if you do.

There are some things that just aren't funny, rape being one of them.
It's a serious and disturbing issue. There could have been a victim of rape in the audience.
