Bad Comedians

Bad Comedians

Foul and crude language, indecent exposure, discussion of every taboo subject possible in the allotted time and anything else close to the bone that tends to make us snigger when no one is watching seems to be the order of the day when a comedian takes to the stage and when I say ‘stage’ I don’t just mean in front of a paying crowd as any class clown is the same, pushing the boundaries a little further each laugh.

I love to laugh, I think we all do, there is nothing like rolling around in blissful agony as your sides split with laughter and your jaw aches every time you move your head because something has really pressed your funny button, isn’t it strange though that sometimes you will find something hilarious while others barely raise a smile or are offended at the content of the joke.

Personally I wish that there wasn’t so much swearing in comedy, or really dirty jokes, I find it much harder to laugh at things with that sort of content, but I love satirical and slapstick comedy which I know others will not find to there taste either. It seems that comedy comes down to an individual taste, affected by probably a whole series of different factors of our lives, we kind of create an invisible line in our heads and when people cross that line we make our stand and refuse to be drawn in to the humour of whatever the comedian is saying or doing. A comedian is at his or her best when they come right up to that line as far as they can without stepping over it and causing insult, offence or discomfort, which will have a negative affect on our overall enjoyment of comedy.
