You Shouldn't See a Comedy Show if You Don't Like Jokes

I'm back!    With more news about stupid people.

Having seen several comedians live, and watching many others on tv or the interwebs, I what it's like to dislike some of their material, style of comedy, or just that particular person(s).  Now while watching these acts, if I don't like something, I have a few choices with what to do about it.  They are:

1. Keep watching until the shitty part is over
2. Quit watching altogether
3. Become a heckler (when seeing a live show)


There are probably more options but these are the top three that come to mind when I'm watching something.

The first two are reasonable suggestions.  I've watched several comedians that I didn't really like, so I turned the channel. A few of the ones I do like have told jokes that I didn't really find entertaining but I stayed with it until the good stuff was back. I've never done the heckler thing. I find it rude, inappropriate and inconsiderate to everyone at the show.

The reason I bring this up is because I just read a couple articles about some women who didn't find a joke by Daniel Tosh very funny, the she decided to let him know by shouting at him.

Here are a couple links:

Tosh, went on Twitter to apologize for the joke, but I'm wondering why?  He had no obligation to apologize, as far as I'm concerned, the women who interupted his show should have to be apologizing.

Before you disagree, because Tosh did pretty much say that the woman should be gang raped on the spot, you have to remember that these are jokes. You are not to take them seriously and you are not supposed to interupt a show that many people are paying money to see. People are there to hear jokes and not to seee someone in the crowd commenting on them. I've been to several live shows where this has happened. It is really fucking annoying for everyone there, especially the performer.

The woman says she'd never seen Tosh's act before that night, and was offended by that joke, and his response to her comment. I think, if she had some common sense, she would have looked up some of his material before she went to the show. That's just me though, what do I know? I mean, what did she expect when she disrupted the show for everyone there? He had every right to say what he did after her interuption, it's not like he was being serious about really wanting her to get raped.  Besides, he is not the first comic to make jokes about this subject. I've heard lots of comics makes jokes about it. Don't get me wrong, it's one of the worst things in the world, but you can't just pick and choose what people joke about. If people can joke about one thing, they should be able to joke about everything.

You as an individual can choose not to listen to things if you don't like them. Don't ruin other people's fun because you feel the need to be an inconsiderate asshole!

Here is another good way to handle a heckler:
