I know in 2022 that’s not something you are supposed to laugh at…but damn, that’s funny as hell.
I’m… probably more uptight than most people about respectful humor. And while I wouldn’t say this is totally in the clear, and I don’t have full recall of the joke, it’s certainly one that could be delivered with respect. And at least to my mind it defaults to “punching up”, in this case the butt of the joke being foolish men who would draw that conclusion in the first place. It’s been several years since I’ve watche…
It would never occur to me to consider whether a joke from a standup comic is or isn't sufficiently respectful of a group, is or isn't accepting of something unacceptable.
That's like questioning whether the comedian really did have that conversation with his neighbor at the bus stop he mentioned in the set-up before the punchline.
A standup joke doesn't need to be respectful, it only needs to be funny.

I believe he was known for doing a lot of coke in the 80s and 90s so perhaps he just ran his body hard in his youth and 65 is where his body ended up.
But did he suck dick for coke? That's an addiction.

Thanks, that's great to read. In case my comment was taken the wrong way, I didn't mean to imply he OD'd or anything, I meant to imply that he didn't seem to be one that would OD, and 65 is relatively young to go unexpectedly. Shocked me!

I don't know what happened in this particular case, but cocaine use can cause hidden cardiac damage. Heart attacks in relatively young people often have prior cocaine use as a contributing factor.

#95Damn, first Norm now Bob. I won't speculate on his death, only say it's very unexpected to me in that he didn't come across as the drug or alcoholic type, at least in recent times. Seemed like a pretty healthy guy with a sharp mind. RIP.

The man was identified as Robert Saget & pronounced deceased on scene. Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case.

I suspect it was a heart attack, or similar kind of fatal situation.

My attitude is if it’s funny I laugh at it, whether offensive or not. However I recognize in this day and age there is a certain sort that will be offended. I caveat for no other reason than to acknowledge that I am aware of all the downvotes I am going to get…and don’t care.
Re: Bob Saget has died
#99I wasn’t particularly fond of Saget, but I know that Norm Macdonald (a man I did deeply respect) held him in the highest regard and thus I have this sort of laundered respect for him. Isn’t it curious when you don’t look up to a man “directly”, but find admiration for him through someone who you do admire? Edit/addendum: I suppose it is kind of like when you’re parent loves a certain musician, movie, comic, etc. You…
During the Chris Farley documentary Bob stuck around for 2 & a half hours telling Chris Farley stories because he wanted to tell each and every one.
