Feel like this would be a good topic of conversation for the CT.i haven't seen the finale yet, but i'm gonna miss leon, a mt. rushmore citcom character
To his point, you can no longer go on tv and make jokes like "The Ukraine is weak" without having to come to terms with your country failing to aid a Western Democracy because members of Congress have a sick desire to aid a malevolent dictator.jerry whining about how you can't be funny because of the left in a world where curb just went out to heavy critical acclaim -- after a 20 year run -- is a pretty bad look
He is a 70 year old man complaining that the world is different and scary, and rather than take a shot at media companies who approve things by committee and have stopped taking risks, he instead made it about liberal politics. Considering he was documented dating a high schooler, maybe the world should care a little less about his idea of right and wrong.i can sympathize with the idea that perhaps stand-up comedians are a little more vulnerable to cancellation than a show like Curb Your Enthusiasm or Always Sunny but give me an example of someone that got canceled because they told an offensive joke but it was still funny

It is a saying of the Sumerians, who lived in what is now southern Iraq and goes: "Something which has never occurred since time immemorial; a young woman did not fart in her husband's lap."
A 1600 BC gag about a pharaoh, said to be King Snofru, comes second -- "How do you entertain a bored pharaoh? You sail a boatload of young women dressed only in fishing nets down the Nile and urge the pharaoh to go catch a fish."
The oldest British joke dates back to the 10th Century and reveals the bawdy face of the Anglo-Saxons -- "What hangs at a man's thigh and wants to poke the hole that it's often poked before? Answer: A key."
