Comedians second-guessing themselves is scary. Poor taste is not a crime and we can't forget that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
The tragedy for comedians is there's nothing more they want than to be liked. We desperately seek approval. It's almost like a personality disorder you can do as a job.
I think comedians start off as pranksters or something.
Professional comedians, surprisingly, have a lack of humor. They're insensitive to the insanity of our times.
Criminals are never very amusing. It's because they're failures. Those who make real money aren't counted as criminals. This is a class distinction, not an ethical problem.
But I will say that most comedians are the saddest people I know. That is the biggest paradox to me.
As far as I can tell, comedians are pretty serious people, and that's why they make fun of things all of the time.
Comedians period, in general, have demons, and myself included.
It's up to comedians to shine the light on what's wrong in the world, and we don't want things swept under the rug.
It's odd because some actors are very scared of comedians.
