These included "I wouldn't mind him coming between my legs; he'd just have to clean to cobwebs out". Unfortunately most of it's behind a paywall but the link is https://www.afr.com/work-and-careers/workplace/female-worker-unfairly-sacked-over-sexual-objectification-20200213-p540gu The Fair Work Commission ordered her reinstatement Thats pretty funny Id pee my pants if I heard that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah dude, it seems like folks just walk around wanting to be miserable. Heres my take: 1. Hes a washed up comedian that by his own admission has suffered from mental illness, and he always was puerile and offensive as well as loony, thats what made him funny. 2. He made a joke. Jokes are just words. 3. Now, with his new movie coming, hes in the limelight. Lets not talk about how he was a hero when he was screeching at the Presdient via his art. I wonder if he ever critized Trump for sexist remarks LOL. Yeah...but why do they want to be miserable. And why make a public (albeit anonymously online) spectacle about it? Is it perhaps a way that clinical depression manifests itself? Are the perpetually offended that way in real life? If I crack an “offensive” joke, will they “pull me up” immediately then and there? Or will they fake niceness only to later backstab me? And why on earth would they want to come to Thailand, the land of the politically incorrect, in the first place? I thought people moved here so they could get away from all the miserable people back in the west with their constant fighting over whatever the “ism” du jour might be. Speaking of (probably) washed up offensive comedians...what ever happened to Dice? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice that the guys who seem to be happiest on this forum have a Snowflake factor of -100, call it as they see it, dont obsess over things that arent right in front of your face or affect you at the moment (its OK to obsess about like tying the perfect fly or editing the perfect photo), dont sweat the little stuff, enjoy life and lay down a life boundary. By life boundary I mean the simple rule: I refuse to spoil my day with outrage and faux offense and moral preening and holier than thou attitudes and hypocrisy. I woke up this morning and its a great day JUST BECAUSE I WOKE UP. What someone says or does that doesnt affect me is not worth my brainbandwidth. You (meaning the rhetorical you) want to offend me personally, right to my face, go ahead, the are a billions of folks in the world I can interact with that wont offend me, sucks to be you then, bye. And off I go to having a great day! The perpetually outraged can spend their day looking like they have been sucking manao for a week.

It wasn't a "scripted" moment, it was off the cuff. Comedians do warm ups at smaller clubs to develop material before hitting the big venues. "Just you" is like one of those attempts that don't make it to big shows. As countless inteviewees have said, comedy is about pushing the edge and doubtless some people will be offended. Get over it and or develop a sense of humor. It was funny. It was harmless Agree , I saw a comment somewhere recently , don't recall where . chap says to a girl ' Is it hot in here or is it just you '. Have used it myself , not offended anyone as yet I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yokat Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I made a short transcript from this part of the interview Journalist: ... Is there anything still left on your bucket list ? Jim: Just you Journalist: *laugh* wow Jim: That's it, it's all done now Journalist: Wow i don't know what to say to that Jim: just own it No mention of doing the journalist in there, it's not comedy gold and certainly awkward (purposefully ?) but the reporting is deceiving. I am not a native english speaker but when looking up "sleazy" it sounds harsh and offense looks forcefully taken in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me in comedy, anything is allowed as long as it is funny. Yes, I am also a Ricky Gervais fan... In particular, you said 'For me in comedy, anything is allowed as long as it is funny. Yes, I am also a Ricky Gervais fan......' I agree but I recognise we're all different in our likes and dislikes, including comedy material. Personally, I find it funny when the likes of Jimmy Carr, Al Murray and Frankie Boyle rip into people in the audience, but I appreciate many would not like it and that is their right. However, it is not their right to criticise me for liking what I like and maybe not liking what they like. Carrey has been described on this thread as 'crass, unfunny' etc.etc. So what? It's just an opinion which I can't subscribe in this case because I haven't watched the clip. Why not? I started to watch The Mask some years ago, couldn't stand it, crass and unfunny (for me), switched it off. Just my opinion so no need for anyone to be offended, but if you are offended I really don't give a monkey's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritManToo Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Pet Detective was good, The Mask was OK. Everything else was rubbish, and from looking at pictures of the women, he has not taste in women. If you're gonna sexually harass a woman, at least pick on a slim, young and attractive one.

Popular Post Tropposurfer Posted February 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Oh for Gods sake! What a humourless politically anally correct lot we are becoming!!!! (excluding some of the TV comments herein which I also found funny). I think his remark is hilarious (call me a sexist bar steward if you will lol). Taking such a remark in the context of Jim Carey seems even funnier (he's out there like Robyn Williams, Lenny B for sure even the late and definitely great Tommy Cooper was a naughty inappropriate boy lol) ... all master comedians as Jim is. His witty sharp and I imagine spontaneous quip is really quite hilarious to me. I think now too on the brilliant, and yes slightly anxiety producing (lol) brave Ricky Gervais who is really the voice of reason and insight these days, sticking it to the above anlly retentive gangs that roam the planet now.
