I don't really see there should be a ban on subjects but then again people need to have some respect and think about what they are saying or putting up. People have a good idea what is offensive to others so it should be down to the individual to take that into account. |

Most people are like issac hayes, happy to laugh at things the offend other people - but get the hump when it comes round to them |

I think jokes should be judged on how funny they are, not their content. The simple fact is that most jokes which are genuinely offensive simply aren't funny  |

Ain't it the truth. There's a whole brigade of people who go to watch comedians they think they are supposed to like and force themselves into a nervous laugh to show how woke they are. |

But humour is subjective. |

Simple. Any joke that's both offensive and deemed unfunny... if someone laughs at it just shoot them. The whole thing could be automated from within comedy clubs with people strapped into chairs  I'm off to patent it "comedy armed response"   |

Is partially subject. There is actually a logic to successful jokes. We don't consider it impossible to say that some paintings are better than others. We can objectivly say that some comedy is better than others. |

But you can’t control what you find funny. I usually find the little things more funny, than the thing set up intended for the big laugh |

But that's why the best comedians generally perform in front of large audiences. Because they can make a lot of people laugh where's lesser comedians have niche sense of humour that appeals to fringe groups. |

I still think Michael McIntyre is shit, but it’s lowest common denominator humour for the masses, but I can’t deny he’s good at what he does, but I don’t find him funny. I can see why he appeals, I think it helps that he’s likeable and got nice hair. |

I went to a show where a couple of the comedians made dirty jokes about paedophilia, I felt disgusted. Didn’t laugh. Looked into the crowd, I could see several other people had gone quiet.
I suspect the second comedian had more along those lines but changed his program after audience reaction.
I’m not sure about a totalitarian ban. But I imposed my own, haven’t attended that venue or seen those comedians since. |

Depends if you mean he's shit because he doesn't make you laugh or because his material isn't well structured. There will be successful comedians that neither of us will personally find funny, but i can see why others like it. On the other hand, people like Kate Smurthwaite have to cancel shows because they can't sell out a 50 seat university venue since their material is objectively poor. So I'm just saying that we won't like all the popular comedians, but it's very rare to find an unpopular but hugely talented one. |

But that's the Isaac Hayes syndrome. |
