      the best part is that you can simply point to frankie boyle as an example of someone getting away with “offensive” jokes, because he’s obviously not a shitstain and the jokes are actually jokes and not just excuses to say terrible things.

    “You can’t even tell a joke any more”.

    You never could and you still can’t. Funny people, however, can and do.

    It’s funny when idiots say you can’t joke about transgender people. Trans people and their allies are never done joking about the trans lifestyle & identity. But their jokes aren’t just shitty “man in a dress 😅🤣😂🤣😅🤣” type jokes that are both unfunny and malicious.

        “funny you should say that, i actually happen to identify as a Bofors 75 mm Model 1929 so i’d suggest flying as fast as your propellers can take you, lest you get offended by my armor-piercing rounds”

      from a show that I think is maybe 10 years old?

      Time really does pass us by, huh? As a massive Dara fan, let me be the unfortunate one to tell you that that special (Live from the Theatre Royal) is 19 years old. It’s from 2006…
