[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1253066, member: 17767"] Hi Toad, Comedy is not meant to be mean spirited. Does anyone remember the old TV series where they “roasted” a guest each week? Don Rickles jokes were always degrading – in a funny way, not mean spirited. Sex, politics and religion are subjects often employed in comedy. Three stand-up comedians who took those topics to the extreme were Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, and George Carlin. Bill Cosby often did a performance in which he talked to God. Toad, glad you did not see the humor as mean spirited or tasteless. I remain respectful of those who do. One cannot presume to be able to “get inside the head” of another person. That is sacred and precious space. I apologize for my response to Bigfoot. In retrospect, his post was a sincere expression of his feelings which is fair enough. PS: Redd Foxx used the culture of black America for most of his scripts. For example, [i]What is black America’s National bird? - The fly.[/i] I know Highgrit and other good ole boys will not be offended by that. PS2: For everyone, Redd Foxx: [i]We were poor. If I wasn't a boy, I wouldn't have had nothing to play with[/i]. [i]Hey! Leave the door open will ya? The flies haven’t been out all day.[/i] [/QUOTE]
