The Hypocrisy of Comedians

Yesterday I posted THIS....It got some good feedback and of course I got some backlash...It got me thinking about something that has bothered me for years...

I love standup comedy...I have since I was a little kid...I remember sneaking into a backyard in my neighborhood were my older brothers and their friends were listening to a new Eddie Murphy cassette without all the parents knowing...I loved it all growing up...I'd watch any comedy special that came on HBO...I watched MTV's "Half Hour, Comedy Hour" religiously, and "Evening at the Improve"...I love the craft or art...Yes, I put it up on that type of pedestal...

As the years have gone on, standup has had it's ups and downs...And my tastes changed...I got over the Andrew Dice Clay phase and got into more thought provoking comedy...Don't get me wrong, I'll always enjoy a shit or dick or pussy joke...

Then the 2000's came and with it, Social Media and Blogging came too...These gave celebrities, Comics included, another way to reach their audience and promote their shit...It also gave us regular fuckers a voice...An outlet for us to express our thoughts and opinions to our friends, who we don't work with or don't live right next door...But also to the masses...To anyone who may be interested....I started blogging about sports in 2007 at Sporting News...Over the years I started branching off into different directions, talking about whatever was in my head...

During that time and it as continued...Different points in time more surges in it...Comedians bitching about bloggers...and really, anyone on social media who doesn't have a "Blue Checkmark"...Many of them are comics I love...I often blow it off, because I'm a fan...Bill Burr is my favorite and he shits on bloggers religiously...Jim Norton who I've always been a fan of, bought both his books, saw him live, he shits on regular people tweeting and bloggers all the time...He's written what are in essence blogs, for major publications occasionally...But for him, it's not a blog, it's an "Article"...

Then there is the subject of my blog yesterday...Joe Rogan...Joe Rogan use to write blogs regularly on his website...But it doesn't count if I write a blog on my website...Comedians love to scream about the Freedom of Speech...And they will go to war with the whole fucking world  to say whatever they want...They will scream and fight, scratch and claw for their right to even tell a bad joke...a shitty joke...an offensive joke...a rape joke...And my meaningless voice has stood by them...





Now Comics are screaming everything that doesn't agree with them is "Cancel Culture"...My post yesterday was called "Cancel Culture"...It isn't...Joe Rogan can go on doing what he does...I'll probably watch his next standup special...I just want people to realize, he's often full of shit...and often on the wrong side of topics...

I'm sick of Comedians bitch, moaning and complaining about you and me saying what we want on Twitter and Blogs but screaming about their right to say whatever they want...Freedom of Speech is for everyone....EVERYONE! 

Not just arrogant assholes with "Blue Checkmarks"...EVERYONE!

Enough with the PC Bullshit!

I in no way approve of hitting women, and would never do such a thing, but I thought the picture was funny, based on the topics this post is going to hit...Political Correctness, Humor, Caitlyn/Bruce Jenner...And how this PC shit is running wild and needs to stop...

First to Jenner...I have seen it on TV, heard it on the Radio and Podcasts, in day to day interactions...If someone happens to refer to Jenner as Bruce, (his given name) or says he instead of she, there is someone else right there to chime in and tell you how you have misspoke...That you are possibly intolerant, and offensive...Listen dipshit, Jenner has been known as Bruce, a dude, for what, 65 years...Fuck off, and give people a chance to get use to calling him Caitlyn and she, and her...Yeah, I said him...You know why?  Because the Cunt still has a cock! Until he lops that dick off, grows a puss and fucks himself with said dick, I don't care if people call him he, or him, or dude, or whatever the fuck!

Now we move into the humor area...Spike (the guys network) cut Clint Eastwood doing a joke about Jenner at some bullshit awards show, because suddenly they have a "No Trans Joke policy"...What the fuck ever...But they aren't alone...The Late night comedy shows have been sidestepping cracking jokes about Jenner...Seth Meyers said he wouldn't do any...So now I give you a long video, but worth the time...It's Opie and Jim Norton, along with comedian Sherrod Small talking about all this and then watching a clip of Jerry Seinfeld on Meyers' show talking about how people are getting carried away with the PC shit...Seinfeld, who has always been a clean comic...They stop the clip a couple times for Norton to go off on his own rant, and praise Seinfeld...The video is 15 minutes long, but worth it...They get into the Seinfeld clip around 2:50...As they get back into the clip around 8:00 some guy from the New Yorker chimes in, and Seinfeld eventually grills him about the PC shit, before calling out Meyers about not doing Jenner Jokes...





America, do you understand how far we have taken this bullshit...Jerry fucking Seinfeld, has had enough...If Jerry Seinfeld, a clean, safe, TV friendly comedian is telling us we have taken the PC shit too far, then I think we better listen...

In closing, Fuck off!

Monday Moaning

There are a few things I have to write about this week...A couple we will discuss here, and another will be given it's own post...The first thing I am going to touch on is comedian Louis CK and his appearance Saturday on Saturday Night Live...Twitter was exploding Saturday during the broadcast, and Sunday morning the Internet was covered with columns, and blogs, and blurbs about how offensive Louis CK's monologue was...It appears Louis wasn't afraid to poke fun at three hot-button issues, as well as himself....Racism, the Middle East (Israel included) and Child Molesters...Here's the clip if you want to watch...




I have two problems with those getting upset about Louis CK's jokes...

1. He's a comedian telling jokes...You may not laugh at the same things as everyone or anyone...Just as we all don't like the same movies, music, politics, food, you name it...Everyone has their own tastes...It's comedy, not Maw and Order where every fucking episode is the same!

2. It's SNL...This use to be the place that did ground breaking comedy...The place where the envelope was pushed...Where it made you laugh, cringe, and think...I was happy to see them pushing again, because to be honest, with the exception of a skit here and there, the show has sucked for a number of years...

The Child Molestation shit really got people touchy...(pun intended)...Maybe you twats should go back through the archives and look up SNL in the early years, when they had a character named "Uncle Roy"...He was a babysitting pervert, who not only did creepy shit with young girls, but in the end, he won...He didn't get busted...Finding video is hard because SNL has gotten so soft...But here is a clip of the Opie and Jimmy show...Early in the show they are talking about SNL, and then some characters Jimmy does, which lead to discussion of "Uncle Roy...At 14 minutes and 20 seconds they play the sketch and give you play-by-play...It was a whole lot worse then what Louis CK said...





Uncle Roy is a fucking creep...But no matter how cringing something is, I'm not going to complain about it being on TV or radio, or whatever...I believe in freedom of speech, even speech I don't agree with...I also believe in something just as powerful...

The remote control! You don't like it, turn it the fuck off cunts!

And one last thing to all those bitching and tweeting about what a monster Louis CK is...Guess what, you're talking and writing about him...He won!

- Next, the stupid Patriots underinflated balls story kept getting air-time all week...And looking at it all closely, I have to say, When the fuck is Robert Kraft going to sue the NFL?  Their idiot report clears the Patriots organization of wrongdoing, yet Goodell fined the team a million dollars, and ripped them of two draft picks...Doesn't really make sense...And the main reason they say Brady is guilty is because he didn't give them his phone for them to look at texts...A phone they had no legal ground to ask for....I do remember another investigation (with no legal standing) that asked Roger Goodell to give his phone and he refused....So why the fuck is this guy still the commissioner!?!

If Brady just would have punched a women, beat a kid, raped a girl, and covered up a murder, he'd be fine....

Fuck them all...I'm done with this topic now, and I'm done with the fucking asshole NFL!

- Okay, on a much more important topic...Sunday Cleveland had it's annual Marathon...Yes, we have a marathon...As long as I've been a live...It doesn't get the hype or the fanfare of some of the other marathons...We're a smaller city, and we aren't always mugging for the camera....Don't give me your shit New York and Boston, we all know you love the spotlight, and you know you're a little fucking annoying sometimes...

Honestly I don't really pay attention to any marathon...they're kind of boring to watch...But a friend of mine Brendan Goers was working down there and snapped a pic and posted it on facebook...

Yep, those are Firefighters running in full gear...26.2 miles...a high of 82 degrees with 64% humidity...I was blown away by how, as my friend described them, "Badass" these guys are...I had to dig into it a bit...

They had the full gear, including the 40 pound pack on their backs...The only exception they made was running shoes...Why did they do this? to raise awareness and money for ALS...One of these guys dad has the awful disease...The Parma Heights Firefighters raised over $15,000 for ALS...That's fucking awesome!

Screw your ice water challenge...Run a marathon in full firefighter gear....That's a fucking challenge...I shit on things in Cleveland area often...But I was proud as hell Sunday seeing this.

That's it for now...But more to come this week...

Have a week.

You're Offended? Tough Shit!

So the Internet has been buzzing about comedian Daniel Tosh making a rape joke, while doing a set at the Laugh Factory...Well, not about the joke, but about the dumb-ass, easily offended, woman who stood up and told Tosh that rape jokes aren't funny...Which of course lead him to play the rape card right back at her...She then left, took to Twitter, and her blog, and pissed and moaned about being offended...She also didn't like Dane Cook's set...Maybe it's just me, but those are two popular comics...If you don't like them, maybe you should stay away from comedy clubs...

Now I've got a lot to say about this...First, this whole 'Rape jokes aren't funny' thing...Maybe...Maybe not...But who is this bitch to say what a comedian can tell jokes about...Let's ask the late, great, George Carlin...




And then there is the fact that there are people like this woman who think comedians shouldn't say things that could offend people...The late, great, Patrice O'Neal had plenty to say about that...




Now I'm not a comedian, but I play one at work, so it really bothers me that there is this double standard towards comedy...The world raved about how Heath Ledger played the role of The Joker...The Joker, who murdered countless innocent people...He was so good at playing a nut-job...That's fine...But you comic watch what you say...Comic Jim Norton Tweeted this...

"Comics are pigs for making rape jokes, but Christian Bale is a great actor for American Psycho. Everyone can go fuck themselves."
Exactly!

And what about Rap music? In my 36 years on this Earth, I have seen Rap music change quite a bit...When I say this, I'm talking lyrically...Most Rap lyrics now are heavily filled with the words, BITCH, FUCK, HO, and NIGGER (or NIGGA...I don't care how you explain it, it means the same damn thing)...Now none of those words offend me...But I've heard plenty of people complain about how they don't like those words...Yet, people love Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye, and plenty others who hammer out those same shitty lyrics...Often praising them for their "Talent" and "Genius"...

Hell, why haven't we heard from PETA about "Tom & Jerry" cartoons? I mean, why is okay for us to find a cat and mouse beating the shit out of each other funny? It's done in a comical way......Just like stand up comedy...What the fuck people!?!

But Daniel Tosh takes crap for a joke...This fucking world gets more fucking retarded every day...Yeah, I said retarded...Did that offend you too!?! If you don't like a joke, don't laugh...Don't applaud when he's done...Leave...But don't stand up, heckle and make a scene...Just shut up and be miserable...

Tosh has since apologized, which I think stinks...I wouldn't have...Here's his apology via Twitter...

“All out of context misquotes aside, I’d like to sincerely apologize," Then linking the horrible bog, that I won't link...“The point I was making before I was heckled is there are awful things in the world but you can still make jokes about them #deadbabies.”
Well at least he got the #deadbabies in there to offend a bit more...

You know, I use to say how I'm sick of people thinking they have the right to not be offended...I'm still sick of that, but I've come to love seeing people offended...Hell, I love being the person who offends them...Christ, half the reason I masturbate so much is because when I see that I've offended some one, I just get so fucking horny...Seriously, if I offend you, I've done good...For that brief period of time, I did something that finally flipped your idiotic brain on, or struck an emotional chord that you've had shut off for who knows how long, as you shuffle through your miserable existence...People should be happy when they get offended...It actually lets them know they're still alive...

I'm sure things in this post have offended some people...But I know it's been some time since I pissed off my friend sin China, so let me just say to them, again, FUCK_CHINA!!!

In closing, stop shitting on comics for doing their job...And if you get offended, fine...But just know, if you voice it, people like me are going to come back at you...You fucking gash...Have another "Cookie for Breakfast!"

Later, The Beeze.

Thursday Night Thoughts

Just something to remember.

--
So it's Thursday night, and I'm just shooting from the hip here. Nothing real exciting here. Mrs. Beeze is sick, the two little Beeze are asleep, and the football game isn't really keeping my attention. So off we go on a journey of nonsense floating around in my head.
--
I'm going to give you a link to a funny video, but first let me warn you.....I think it's funny, you may not. If you don't like "DIRTY WORDS" you won't like it. If you don't like Donovan McNabb, or the city of Philadelphia being picked on, you won't like it. The clip is from a comic named Bill Burr. He's from Boston, and was doing an O & A show in Philly. The crowd attacked all the comics, and Burr had enough. 30 seconds into his set, they attacked. He came right back at them, and did 12 minutes of ripping them, and the city. It was great. Seriously, they gave him a standing O afterwards. This is just a very short clip aimed at McNabb.

This next link is of comic Jim Norton on the O & A show bashing Derek Jeter after meeting him, and Jeter was a D-bag to him. I love it, because I hate the Yankees.

I hope everyone got a laugh out of that.


Now let's get in a little Fighting Irish Hockey News.

Today it was announced that five players have signed National Letters-of-Intent to attend The University of Notre Dame. The incoming players are defensemen Sam Calabrese (Park Ridge, Ill.) and Cam Fowler (Farmington Hills, Mich.) , and forwards Nick Larson (Apple Valley, Minn.), Kyle Palmieri (Montvale, N.J.) and Riley Sheahan (St. Catharines, Ont.).

Calabrese, Fowler and Palmieri - play for USA Hockey's National Team Developmental Program. Larson is playing his second season with the Waterloo Black Hawks of the United States Hockey League (USHL). Sheahan is playing for St. Catharines Falcons of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League.

The Irish take on Bowling Green in a home-and-home series this weekend. GO IRISH!!!


Next thing I wanted to talk about was a couple things over on the right of the screen. I have links to a few charities that a donate to. They all do good work so feel free to check them out. The one, "Hats for Heroes" did some really great stuff for a friend mine who lost a daughter to cancer. The Columbus Blue Jackets do a great job with it and the players really get involved.


Last thing I've got bouncing around upstairs tonight is this idea....I'm thinking about doing one post a week about my job. For those who don't know, I'm a Chef. I've been working in kitchens since I was 13. I've been working in one place for 12 or 13 years now and I've got some good stories. It's a fine dinning seafood place, so I was thinking of calling the blog, "Tales from the Fish House". Let me know if you'd like to read some of the tales that have helped make the sick, twisted, perverted, a$$ that I am today.


That's it for tonight. I'm going to get another beer find something good on TV to pass out to.




Later, The BEEZE.
