Gilbert Godfrey famously made a 9/11 joke that “bombed” on September 29, 2001.
If you eliminate all comedy that offends someone, there won’t be much left to laugh about.
- mrguyorama 4y agoExcept that's a part of comedy. Pete Davidson makes jokes about his dad dying in 9/11 all the time and they are hilarious. Just pointing at a shitty thing isn't comedy, you have to actually write a joke.
- freejazz 4y agoI guess you didn't realize that Pete Davidson is making these jokes 20 years after 9/11, not 20 days?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoI think it is possible Godfrey did that on purpose just to set up the audience for his Aristocrats.
