Rape jokes and Daniel Tosh

andrea2473 · July 2012

At some point I should add that I work at a comedy club and I'm shocked by very little at this point.

HOWEVER, I did hear someone make a 9/11 joke on stage and they heard crickets after it. I think 9/11 is something that isn't funny. The difference is, nobody heckled them. They just didn't laugh.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · July 2012

Haha andrea, I hadn't heard that one.

But really though, people ask for their money back for lots of things, so I guess I don't see why it's different.

Also - this commenter on the FB thread had an interesting point that is relevant to where the conversation is now:

" I think what we need to do is stop rape from being ok on a global scale (which it is. women are less than property in many other countries) and then maybe one day a rape joke will actually be something we can laugh at because it's just an abstract as opposed to a reality (as racism is today compared to what it used to be (even though yes, it still exists))"

He wouldn't have singled her (or anyone) out if she hadnt yelled at him though.

I have to say I rolled my eyes through the whole blog story. They recognized Dane Cooks name, but thought the guy that came on after him was some "yahoo"... OK.. If I am going to see a comedian I haven't seen before, a quick youtube search can tell me if I will like them or not.

She over reacted.

No, but of course that would depend if you started picking a fight with him. Personally, I think she should have gotten her money back either way just because it would have been easier for them, but I also think they are well within their rights to say "this is a fucking comedy club, people get offended every night, we cannot give everyone's money back so GOOD DAY."

Also, I just read the blog. It said they were bored so decided to go to the laugh factory to see Dane Cook and some "unknowns." She didn't know who Tosh was, but she clearly stated that Dane Cook "was not to her taste." So why would she go there? She knew SOMEONE there was going to tell jokes that she was offended by, so why go in the first place?

yes, that is unreasonable because you knew what kind of humor you were getting when you paid for the tickets. You can't then cry foul when Tosh does exactly what he is being paid to do.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Rape jokes and Daniel Tosh : Yes. H and I have been to several comedy shows at clubs off all sizes and audience members have been picked on at all of the shows we've been to. They are usually near the front, or doing something else to draw attention to themselves. If you don't want to be picked out of the crowd, sit farther back next time or keep your trap shut. If you heckle a comedian, you get what you get, IMO.
Posted by ILoveMilkDuds[/QUOTE]
Agreed.

In fact, when we went to see DL Hughley (sic?), the funniest part of the show was his response to a heckler. I'm sorry but if you think your drunk ass can match wits with a freaking comedian, who does this for a living, you deserve what you get.

As someone who works in the service industry, that is something that is out of control though. Service is subjective and people are too quick to demand a refund for something that they can't return. Yes, there are situations that warrant it but they are few and far between considering how often it happens. Generally speaking, people get super-entitled when they are paying for things that aren't tangible. It's like buyer's remorse over purchasing something that they can't 'keep' so if it's not absolutelyfuckingperfect, they complain to recoup what they spent. Yes, I know I'm generalizing.

This is well and good, but this person is really not thinking on a global level. Because very severe and blatant racism still exists in many African countries, as does rape obviously. To make rape (or racism) not 'ok' in places like Africa, you're going to have to do an overhaul of everything, starting with their governments. The corruption and scandal in those places is out of control and they need to have some form of stability before they can even begin to put social programs in place that would derail 'rape is ok' behavior. Not to mention, they need major funds to run something like that. I mean, groups like the Peace Corps have existed for years and well, look at how little they've been able to accomplish. That's not to say the Peace Corps isn't doing something, but there is too much leadership corruption happening in order for PC to do their thing and do it well.

Rape will never be an abstract, because there will always be awful people in this world.

Oh I can concede to that. I saw lots of ridic schit when I was serving. One lady waited until the end of the meal (even after I'd asked how her food tasted mid-meal and she said it was fine) to tell me that her well-done steak tasted like ass and she wanted her money back. Reallybitch? Well you ate the whole thing.

But if you go to a restaurant and every single fucking thing goes wrong and you have a completely miserable experience I don't think it's out of line to want your money back. There are a handful of instances I can recall, like the one where a woman ordered mashed potatoes. She got her mashed potatoes. There was also a fly in it, LOL, our bad, your refund.

100% agreed. But to tie it back to your statement. No, you wouldn't be entitled to a refund. You got everything that was advertised and should have been expected. I don't think she was expecting a fly in her mashed potatoes.

Blueyed228 · July 2012

I agree with the Tosh on stage =/= Tost IRL.

If a comedian cant make a rape joke, then no movies can make funny rape comments or simulate banging a girl while behind them etc.

Some of you people are taking this way too seriously. Its just comedy.

But then back at that, I don't think the lady at the Tosh show expected to be told it would be funny if she was gang raped. Even if she was heckling.

FWIW, I think it would have been WAY hilarious if Tosh just told her to "getfucked" instead of "get raped."

Starmusica · July 2012

ok RAPE is not funny but it's a raunchy comedy show- the comedian is EXPECTED to cross lines and joke about things that should not be laughed at. If you can't handle that then you shouldn't go.

I will say joking that it would be funny if a specific woman was raped was probably a not so funny joke from Tosh. He's an idiot though- that crap is his bread and butter....

Ehhh. I don't know. If I walked into a comedy club, I would expect everything to be fair game. You don't have to think it's funny, but it's probably best to keep your mouth shut considering the venue of the joke. Her ignorance of what goes on doesn't entitle her to a refund. Know what you are paying for ahead of time.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · July 2012

I think that's the point it crossed the line, for me. I can understand that when you go to a comedy show you will hear offensive jokes, and when you heckle the comedian for said jokes, you're gonna get it. BUT. It's all in how Tosh handled the heckler. He could have told her to getfucked or get bent or to shake the sand out of her uptight vagine and while she still would have probably been upset, I don't think it's the same as how she'd feel about getting told to get gang raped.

JessAndTrav · July 2012

BTW, I've only skimmed through this post AND I'm coming out of SB lurkdom.

I think that inappropriate jokes can be funny when you're with the right people. I wouldn't think that a dead baby joke was funny if the person telling it knew that a person in the room had a miscarriage. The same applies for a rape joke, (though I don't know that I've heard one).

I have done the comedy club thing a number of times, and here's the deal. You have to go in KNOWING AND ACCEPTING the fact that at some point in the show, something that you would typically find offensive WILL be said. It's the way of comedians. Is everything a comedian says funny? Not always, but a lot of it is about the experience.

As far as heckling the comedian, if you do that, you're ASKING to be offended. We saw Jo Koy a few years ago, and this girl was yelling out the punchlines to his jokes. He was PISSED, so he ripped her to shreds. I don't blame him. Everyone there paid money for their tickets to hear Jo Koy make jokes, not the drunkbitch in the corner.

yea he was definitely a dumbass for joking it would be funny if she got raped. Honestly I think even saying getraped to her would have been stupid. But he could have made ANY number of other jokes to shut her the hell up.

While I don't think what he said was hilarious, it was within the context of the joke he had been telling. It was incredibly inappropriate in the logical sense, but completely appropriate in a comedy sense. He was just bringing it around to "full circle". It made sense. That is, if you are already telling rape jokes. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" /> Again, not saying I think those particular jokes are funny, but I get what he was doing and I'm not offended.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Rape jokes and Daniel Tosh : Ive had 3 miscarriages and dead baby jokes dont offend me. Point is, not everyone in those categories find it offensive, so they have no right to try and represent the whole group.

No lie, I said "your mom" to someone the other day, and they go "my mom is dead". So I go, "sorry to hear that but its still funny".

So yeah, not much offends me, and I guess im pretty good at offending people, lol.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Rape jokes and Daniel Tosh : Ok I find that FAR more stupid than a rape joke. What, because we no longer have black people being hung from trees, but instead just being called names or hassled by the police or whatever it's okay to make racist jokes now? The f*ck, man?

I just got back from lunch and am getting caught up on this thread, and the bolded portion above completely contradicts what you said on the first page of this thread:

[QUOTE]I think Daniel Tosh is hilarious. I think this particular joke was in poor taste. I'm fairly sure we all know that I think racist jokes are awesome. And possibly the best line in Hangover was "I didn't know they gave out rings in the Holocaust."
