Bad taste is not illegal. I always got my first laughs as a kid by saying inappropriate things. That's always how we're going to get our laughs as comics.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The line between humor and bad taste is your audience, in which some people will find everything offensive, and some people will find nothing offensive, but the truth is that most humor originates in what would be called bad taste.
Comedians second-guessing themselves is scary. Poor taste is not a crime and we can't forget that.
Most of the bad taste I've been accused of has been generic bad taste; it's been making fun of an idea as opposed to a person.
Bad humor is an evasion of reality; good humor is an acceptance of it.
What I've always said about comedy is if you do it in the right way, you can say anything to anybody because they know where you're coming from. They know it's not malicious.
I'll accept bad taste in a minute, as long as there's some great comedy minds and performances.
Sure, the comedians who swear or use scatological humor can get laughs, but they're uncomfortable laughs.
When you do comedy, you get impervious to good and bad reviews.
Comedy can always be taken the wrong way. If I do a bit that is meant to diffuse racism or sexism, I'm not going to avoid it on the chance that a small portion of the audience might take it the wrong way.
Bad taste is simply saying the truth before it should be said.
