Why do people think tosh is funny

It sounds good, but it is awful. Unless you tell rape jokes! One of few people more un-funny than Tosh is Cook, whose brand of comedy is to humour what Jersey Shore is to Italians. So when you get around to apologizing to that girl you sort of verbally sexually harassed, you can go collect your pat on the back from Dane Cook.

That is not an apology. Man up, Daniel Tosh. The full text account of the night Daniel Tosh made rape jokes, pulled from the blog Cookies for Breakfast, appears below:. Your go-to source for all the best Black Friday deals: tech, toys, fashion, mattresses, beauty, wellness, travel and more.

I wanted to be the first one to slap them out of it. I said, "I have to leave early tonight. I'm flying to L. I couldn't get a direct flight. We have to make a stop at the Empire State Building. No one in the history of comedy ever lost an audience more completely. You could hear chairs move back and murmuring throughout the crowd.

Gasping, groaning. One guy yelled, "too soon," which I thought meant I didn't take a long enough pause between the set-up and punch line. I figured there was no lower I could go, so I went into doing The Aristocrats jokes.

These are very blue. The crowd soon exploded with laughs and cheers. So: Terrorism is shocking and in bad taste, but a joke about incest and bestiality is totally fine. Jump ahead a few years. Over that period in between, I've done several very poor-taste jokes. Then the tsunami in Japan happened, and it's all over the news, with newscasters pretending it hits them personally. Newscasters really should get acting awards. Anyway, I figured I'd treat a natural disaster the same way I treated terrorism So, I proceeded to tweet jokes about the tsunami.

Most of them were actually quite silly. If there were anything to be outraged about, it would have been about how dumb the jokes actually were. I have always felt comedy and tragedy are roommates. If you look up comedy and tragedy, you will find a very old picture of two masks.

One mask is tragedy. It looks like it's crying. Alex Edelman, a professional stand-up comedian based in New York , told the Guardian: "I find rape to be a really serious topic, but on the other hand I think a comedian should be allowed to say almost whatever he wants and that the audience should be able to manifest their dislike in the form of not laughing at something if they find it offensive.

Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada gave an interview with E News , saying: "I understand where she is coming from, but Daniel Tosh did not attack this young lady. I feel bad for her and I apologize to her. If you are a member of the audience and you start dishing out something to a comic and try to be funny, you better be able to take it. Comedians have also said that the alleged threat was a silly, if not stupid, response to what they perceive as heckling.

Edelman explained how the interuption presented a dilemma for the comedian: "If he actually addresses something you've said in a serious way, then a he's abandoned his bit and b he's actually made rape really come into the room. Tuesday night, the blogger posted a response to the surprise buzz , saying that the audience member who wrote the post does not intend to press any charges but does plan on returning to comedy shows.

In the wake of the incident, some drew comparisons to Michael Richards' racist rant and Tracy Morgan's homophobic remarks during a recent set :. Did Tosh go too far in his response to the audience member?
