I’m watching “Last Comic Standing” and two folks tossed out baby jokes.
One girl says, “I have no maternal instinct. When I hear a baby crying the first thing I think is ‘oh my god kill it’!”
Another guy says, “So this baby is crying on a plane… because I was punching it.”
BOTH TIMES… Friggin’ Sopranos boy tosses em. Apparently… baby jokes aren’t funny.
Um… exactly when… in comedy… WAS ANYTHING OFF LIMITS?!?!
I didn’t think the jokes were particularly funny… but I’m SURE there is a killing a baby joke out there that would leave me in stitches. As matter of fact, if anyone could do it, my friend Mike could! That’s right Mikie! You know who you are (I left his last name out in case for some crazy reason a future employer Google’s him) So you’re safe Mike G3mm1ll
It’s all about context.
As I try to think of one right now… I can see how it could be hard.
BUT THAT’S NOT THE POINT! The point is… IT’S COMEDY!
We can poke fun at all kinds of handicaps, disabilities, horrible situations that happen all over the world (check out Stick Death), murder, rape, incest… whatever… WHY ARE BABIES SO SPECIAL?
You may be a talent scout daddio… and know more about comedy than I ever will… but my two cents… NOTHING IS OFF LIMITS!
