Bad comedians

I liked the lecture about bad comedians not only because the jokes mentioned. It was also interesting to learn about different approaches to jokes. I think comedy is a very subtle thing. Personally I don’t see anything bad in using prejudices in jokes as long as they are kept in a good tone. Jokes are only jokes so no one should be insulted while hearing them, besides, comedy is the easiest way of telling about the weaknesses we all have. The different case is when someone who is supposed to be telling jokes, really means the things he is saying and uses obvious, for example racist, insults. Someone of that type doesn’t deserve to be called comedian, he can only be called bad.
