Where do you draw the line between funny and controversial?

The comedians earn their living by testing our fine line between what is funny and what is a no-go situation. Where do you draw the line?

When it involves outright perversity.

@sumojumo Listen to Gilbert Gottfried's version of the Aristocrats, then you will know.

if it makes people laugh its ok
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@EvilFairy sure, I am not asking if something should not be ok, But more what is your personal line, when you cringe a little.

@sumojumo i can find humor in almost everything as long as it isnt just about being edgy

@EvilFairy cool, so it is more about the execution? I also think I am similar, it just annoys when people say crazy stuff, just because they think they are insulting someone.

should not be a line

@sumojumo everybody has weak points so everybody can be offended so..

@revenant yes, that is exactly where my question wa headed. We all think we have no lines, but deep down there are unexplored topics that we mark as "no go" zones. And i am asking if people are aware of theirs.

@sumojumo ahhh

If I laugh I laugh. If I dont I don't.
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@5thApprentice so you are robust :)
There is no line. I refuse to accept a line.
sumojumo · 36-40, M
@MorbidCynic one thing is not accepting any line, but sincerely,you have no line yourself personally?
Nope. If I don’t like what you say, I will simply snap back 👏 I’m trained in the art of offending people @sumojumo

Most comedians anymore don't need to test lines or even write material. They just repeat something Trump said or did that past week and that by itself is hysterical.

@sumojumo There is a video of Bill Hicks that went full apeshit on a woman and called her all sorts of vile things, and yet some people still consider him comedic royalty, sad.
