Looks like we'd disagree on whether most standup is funny, so it's not surprising we disagree about a joke as loaded as this one is. I'm sorry for arguing with you about it.

I don't think anyone is being vicious in this thread. Just short sighted.

That wasn't intended to be your easy out. Stand up is bad because it is lazy and does shit like we're talking about. Not because I don't get it. My god.

I imagine that makes sense to you. Why doesn't this?
I'm not saying you're wrong. You're actually telling me that I'm wrong and that he's wrong. You're saying there's no way that joke isn't anti gay, and there's no way to laugh at it without being anti gay. I disagree with that as someone who isn't anti gay but who laughed at the joke.

'Stand up is bad because it is lazy'

I mean, we disagree about that. We disagree about the nature of stand up comedy. So it makes sense that we would disagree about a controversial stand up bit. That's all I meant with that.

You getting a chuckle doesn't lessen my suffering. Can you seriously not get that? I know you're not pat Buchanan but it's not a binary choice.

Man, I hate that expression. I understand that its meaning is hidden in the language of it, like you can't have your cake once you've eaten it, but it's still bullshit, like of course you can HAVE your cake and EAT it too, you can do it simultaneously if you take "have" to mean the same as "eat", like who says "have a piece of cake" to not mean "eat a piece of cake", who the fuck has a piece of cake but doesn't eat it??

Bad stand up is bad because it is lazy. I left out a word.

Again. Birbiglia. Mullaney. Both good. Both manage to not be dicks. It's been done.

I'm not actually straight. I had a girlfriend in high school and several crushes on girls. Queer people I know also laughed at the joke. So what do you say to them?

i don't even feel like bothering putting up a wall of text for this, but how about you guys stop being dense and realize that "gay" is currently not on the same level of taboo insult as "nigger". maybe you'd like it to, or you think it should be, but it's not. so that comparison is null.

but even regardless of that, why don't you guys accuse comedians of "being lazy" when they base their bits on being sexist (women be shoppin'! amirite?), or on racial/cultural differences, or on foreign accents or whatever. 90 percent of all comedians do this. are they all raging insensitive pricks with no respect for their fellow man?

you guys have the right to be offended by a joke and think it's tasteless, but entertainers and comedians still have the right to tell them as long as they're not crossing a big fat red line.

and "flipping through your phone like a gay french king", while not being particularly funny, is not that joke. and it makes as much fun of french people as it does gay people.

they are similar in that they are words used to otherize and systematically oppress a class of people.

you're right. misogyny is horribly pervasive in comedy and should not be tolerated either. i would also defer to the judgement of women in their opinions on whether that kind of comedy is harmful to women.

I always just accepted it b/c my shame is deep enough to accept that i should never get to do or eat anything fun: "here's some cake. Wait! don't eat it. Good fucking god you were going to EAT that cak weren't you!!! You're such an evil shit"

Same thing with sex, exactly. I know sex is bad (thanks Mom thanks church I KNOW I KNOW) but I also know I fucken like it so much b/c (the answers/final solution, of course) i'm bad!

So what's someone who's bad going to choose to do this Friday night might as well drink booze after booze until maybe someone bad dies bahahahaha!!!!
