Anyways, what are some of the classic lines from comedians that stuck out to you?
"Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you.... He loves you and he needs money." - George Carlin
Hard to pick out just one but anything from Eddie Izzard, Lewis Black, Doug Stanhope, or George Carlin works.
"Nah, that Rodney King tape, it's all about perspective. All about how you look at it. For instance, you play that tape in reverse and you can see us helping Mr. King up and sending him on his way." - Bill Hicks
"Black people can't mess with time machines. That is strictly a white priviledge. Black people are like "Ohh, anything before 1980 I don't wanna go." - Louis C.K
I like George Calin on religion, and how dumb most people are.
I like Louis CK on how being white is totally f--ing awesome.
I also like Chappelle's racist jokes.
Noone should be offended by a joke, unless it was intentionally an offence disguised as a joke.dramaybazIf you accept that a joke can be intentionally offensive, then you're admitting that jokes can be offensive. That's also sort of implying that there's such a thing as an unintentionally offensive joke. At that point, why does it matter whether it was intentionally offensive or unintentionally offensive? If we can accept that it was indeed offensive, then why shouldn't people be offended by it? After all, in order to determine whether it was unintentional or intentional, one has to know what the comedian's intent was. And it's not as if the audience can read the comedian's mind.
*Jimmy Carr*
their was a record number of people shooting themselves in this small town in America
was it because they put the diabetic clinic next to the donut shop?
I love how people are just referring to jokes, as if everyone has already heard them and are just like, "Oh yeah! That one."Razor-LazorMy thoughts exactly. I don't know many jokes but Richard Pryor is definitely one of my favourite comedians(or was). I also like Milton Jones for his one liners if you haven't heard of him check him on YouTube.
Oh I remember a joke!! Chris Rock on using drugs, I think it was Speed where he talked about doing a whole days work in like 5 minutes, was pretty funny.

Depends on the person and the "joke" itself. Not talking about pro comedians here, but just in general, i.e. someone makes offensive comments and in the end just says lol jk. That isn't much of a joke, there is no humour to be had anyway.
