@@Ocker3 its not nuance to take jokes seriously. Like the lady said. She likes it when men get offended on womens behalf when jokes are sexist. Because sexism is only against women, jokes are meant to be used to make a political point...... You seem like another one that needs an explanation for what a joke is.
@@GDKLockout I will laugh at the darkest joke on the planet, if it's Good. Talking shit about poor minorities isn't good comedy, it's old and tired. Make a rape joke about how shit Harvey Weinstein is, not about the actors stuck working in a shitty system with no power to change it.
@@Ocker3 Here I am over a year later to ridicule your point. You say that you’ll laugh at the darkest stuff as long as it’s good, but then right after, you limit the jokes made about Harvey Weinstein to those that make fun of him and not the actresses involved. Apparently your ability to find dark humor funny isn’t determined by the quality of the joke but the subject matter. Jokes making fun of minorities and rape can be well written and clever. You just refuse to view them as such because the topic offends you.
Got to disagree about the Netflix bit, they tried to take down Dave Chapple after his show dropped. Doesn't matter what level you are, PC culture needs to be ridiculed and ignored because of the insidious trickle down effect it has.
Mao Cat I feel you. There are still some good comedians that are immune to the SJW stuff because of their status, but as far as the new comedians they have it really rough for sure. Comments made by these two (and Neel in his other video) are self destructive to comedians. I really don't get why they're all doing it instead of just giving the middle finger to those that would censor them. What's left after the curtailing of comedy to the SJW mob are the "jokes" Lilly Singh etc. are is telling on late night which are just horrid.
Yeah, I genuinely thought that at the end of this mini-series Neel would come to the same conclusion that we all have. Which is, there is no objective "line" in comedy and entertaining that idea is absolutely destructive to the profession. Instead we got a half-assed well, idk maybe there are things we shouldn't joke about, but dont ask me what the answer is, i only made this series so we could get up on a soapbox and talk down to all those disgusting plebs who find things we don't like funny.
I want to agree but I've seen people unleash torrents of directed abuse and then try to wave it off with 'I was just joking, can't you take a joke?' I guess the question sometimes is, 'was it actually meant to be a joke?'
Adrian Jenkin you're getting into the mind of the comedian and we can't read minds yet. Andy Kaufman would dress up as some one else and intentionally berate crowds at stand up clubs because he found it comedic. Joe E. Lewis is another famous comedian that would insult his audience... including known members of the mob. Hell, Lewis has stories about how before he told insult jokes to mobsters they would have to put their guns out of reach because he was so offensive. Asking "was it actually meant to be a joke?" is a pointless question unless you're wanting to censor.
@@dad2jmcnb The problem with that question is that you're having to assume someone's motivation. As a general rule, I say follow the generosity principle and assume the best possible motivation (in life, not just in comedy), and if it seems like someone is trying to joke, assume they are. Further, remember that offense is taken, not given. Even if someone is trying to insult you, it doesn't have to offend you. It will generally only hurt if it hits you in a sensitive place. When I feel offended, which is pretty rare these days, I take it as a call to action to identify what part of myself I need to work on so I'm more resilient going forward. As a bit of an extreme example to illustrate my point, imagine some mean 2nd grader where the extent of his ability to insult is calling you a poopyhead or fat or dumb. He could literally hurl insults at me until he's blue in the face and I'll never be insulted; at worst, I'll be annoyed that he just won't shut the hell up. Adults will have a broader arsenal of potential insults, have a better theory of mind and cultural context to potentially be able to pull out insults that might be more pointed, but in the end, it's the same effect. That said, I do think in order to be meaningfully considered comedy, there has to be an intention of either being funny or at least entertaining, or, in the traditional of the court jester, speaking truths as they see them that others generally cannot, getting people to question the established order and status quo. Simply hurling insults, in and of itself, isn't comedy, even if it is unintentionally funny. Or, similarly, just because something isn't funny doesn't mean it isn't comedy, it's just bad comedy, just like a bad song is still music. Ultimately, I think the biggest problem these days is just that people in general are weak, they take offense and they are too quick to accuse the person whose words or actions offended them and very few people actually take that call to action. That's why I really appreciated this series, because I think it helped a lot of people suss out the nuance, made it clear that, even if one takes offense at the joke, that the comedians were not just being offensive for the sake of being offensive, and perhaps this can act as a guide for comedians in toeing the line of getting just enough near or even over the line so as to help push cultural boundaries and get people to think about things, while still being generally funny and entertaining. Overall, massive respect to Neel and all involved for having the will to potentially risk significant damage to their careers to run this social experiment while still making it entertaining and thought provoking.
@@nebulamask81 Yeah, and I agree. I've given up on a number of stand-ups deciding not that they aren't any good necessarily but that they aren't right for me. I was referring more to people (generally not actual standups) who are deliberately offensive under the cover of claiming that they are 'just telling a joke'. That said, there is a big difference between an off-colour joke in the wild and one in a comedy venue.
@@BaronSloth Yeah, pretty much on board with all you say. I think 2nd graders is a good example because their humour can be hurtful, they can be making jokes for their friends but if the joke is to call the teacher 'fat' or 'ugly' (and such) then it can still be very hurtful, especially with the repetition that can happen. I fully agree that (to a degree) people need to not get offended so easily. To be honest, I'm not sure that most of them are really offended, they're just addicted to the drug of being publicly outraged.
About the whole PC culture thing... it doesn't really effect the made comedians agreed, but those up and comer types in the club can get WRECKED by it. It's like a pulling up on the ladder. For example Ricky Gervais is already established enough to not give a damn about the twitter outrage mobs, but some one smaller might be. Just look at a random guy making silly youtube vids like Count Dankula... hauled into court, forced to pay massive lawyer costs (that Ricky could easily shoulder), and then fined and made unemployable for life. It has a massive chilling effect on future comedians.
I have a very thick skin. The only jokes that really hurt me are ones about short guys, just because I’ve been rejected by my crushes for being too short. But I’m not going to tell people they’re not allowed to make those jokes. You have to learn how to take it like a champ, you’re not going to think every joke is funny
The more sacred certain groups of people are treated, like women, blacks, alphabet people, the more they become a taboo to joke about and the more funny the jokes become about them.
Both of these "comedians" are far more PC than I originally thought they would be. They're definitely more PC than Neel. I've enjoyed the whole "Crossing the Line" series, but this video kinda killed it for me.
why? because they are in line with the audience? look at neels programm: he doesn't use that much of offensiveness either or uses jokes from not crossing the line category. for the person you offend your comedy is not funny and you always have to work with your audience
@@thetilenglishtaste9913 Everyone is able to decide for themselves whether a joke or comedian is offensive or not. If a comedian offends you, don't watch them. You're obviously not their intended audience. No comedian ever says "Everyone must watch my shows and find my jokes funny!" Andrew Dice Clay was breaking comedy records and selling out stadiums when the vocal minority decided that he was too offensive and ruined his career, which also ruined it for all of his fans. Saying that a comedian or a specific joke is too offensive and he/she shouldn't be allowed to do their style of comedy or say those kinds of things is just arrogant and authoritarian behavior.
I think what we're missing is that sometimes offensiveness IS just funny because it's offensive. Sometimes jokes can simply be funny because they're immoral and wrong.
@@Ocker3 just because something is par for the course doesn't mean it's right. For example they felt quite bad that people get angry at them for telling jokes, which is also par for the course now.
Micryt ! so Andy Kaufman & Joe E. Lewis would cross the line for you... that's really weird to me to say comedians that old would still cross the line for you m8.
Micryt ! better you look up one of their performances on YT, just reading a single joke of either of theirs loses a lot. The person that Kaufman performed as was "Tony Clifton" when he was just there to literally rile up the crowd. He even went on Letterman as Clifton. Watching it from a 3rd party perspective while he was in character knowing what he was doing is hilarious to me though. Kaufman was a true artist.
sometimes, the joke behind the joke is that the one telling it should be seen as a horrible person. It works because you don’t tend to assume that of the person telling a joke and it hits you unexpectedly. You are not supposed to laugh because the joke speaks true but because it is the opposite of the truth.
Well, now I know why these comedians aren't that successful. Everything is about oppression and identity politics. And they seem so jealous towards successful comedians.
Pretty much. When did comedians decide that 'punching down' was unacceptable? Edgy humour is some of the funniest shit BECAUSE we know how wrong it is. This concept that only the 'oppressors' can be mocked is shit because it's safe as fuck, and only serves self-hating 'oppressors' and people who hold bigoted views against 'oppressors'. "It's ok to hold bigoted opinions against people because of their sexual orientation, sex/gender, and race/ethnicity!" Oh, only if they're heterosexual, male, and of European ancestry of course.
What does PC means? By the way, @neel If there is an episode on asian jokes chinese specifically. Id like to be the one of the participant to react to it.
Since religious/societal groups were covered in season 1, in season 2 it should be race-based jokes (including a diverse group of people with different races just like the season 1 people were a group of different religious/societal groups).
Nothing said in this series was more offensive as the last 10 or whatever mins of an old Jimmy Carr special imo. Some of the jokes weren't as well crafted as those, others were on par. The level of "offensiveness" played no part in it for me. If you don't find offensive/edgy comedy funny, why in the hell did you watch a series on offensive/edgy comedy?
Any buddhist jokes? Thats what i admire and feel as very powerful so i'm curious if i can be offended :] It is represented by people so as everything it has sad, dark side. Maybe irony can be better. After "The Privilege Game" , "Modern Educayshun" and others i see U as some1 who can tell something important while joking. so the bar is pretty high :] Paranoid buddhist doesn't count :] What is Your motivation, only laugh ?
I would like to see this series tried again from the other side. Different comedians and audience, most of the audience were with the programe. I'd like to see guys who aren't with the programe and aren't afraid of losing status.
Well...this was...disappointing. Specifically, these two were disapointing. The guy mostly so, kept repeating his "Im a feminist ally!!!! Like me!!!" talking points. Kept contradicting themselves as well. PC culture is "just an excuse" after speaking about how people get offended by just a word but ignore the joke, and how some people attend just to be offended and call the comedian out. These two were all over the place
They're so self aware that they hold 20 minute conversations in the entrances to shopping centres, block entire aisles with their body and trolley, lack any sense of peripheral vision, and walk backwards into people while looking at products on the shelves. I fucking hate going shopping when there's heaps of women around.
shneershiishonest fucking hell that is funny. That would actually make a good bit. As a person that collects shopping trolleys, can confirm this is true
Great to see the balance in the guests - both obvious neo fems and the bloke bending over backwards not to offend the woman. He seemed to subscribe to the notion of male privilege and also that women comedians who knew they were unfunny didn't persist with their routines in state of denial. I did resonate with him however when he said that comedians don't change audience views but simply reinforced them.
I love the idea of this show and I really wanted to laugh. But a lot of these jokes are just edgy but not funny . It’s a shame I really love the idea. Hopefully the writing style improves .
If you're a straight white male...." Are you kidding me.... Social expectations of family and work for starts. Just look at those stats. It's ridiculous. Honestly, I'm confused at the amount of PC garbage in this video... *from comedians* no less. And zero push-back from Neel. smh
not to mention male genital mutilation, worse results at all levels of school, and lack of resources or even acknowledgement of male victims of female perpetrators of abuse
@@ThePharphis Yeah, especially since it's female teachers that grade down boys that don't act like girls, and that's not counting medicating boys that act like boys, though CDC showing more reported "forced to penetrate" than "rape" is pretty damning nowadays.
Neel is specifically an observational host role in this series. If he actually prodded everyone on their views based on his own viewpoint it would've been a very different show, with every show ending with him arguing with the humourless people in the audience, given Neel's guilty of telling these types of jokes at some point. I think Neel might be hoping to be 'more than just a comedian', perhaps eyeing a TV/Netflix gig some point
Skippy Keeping in mind that they weren't her jokes, she was just the person to deliver them she had a very straight faced style, that's not for everyone for sure, but I enjoyed how she told the jokes personally. Having a "straight man" in a comedy duo is a very old tradition which I've seen many times in old b&w films etc. which might be why I appreciate that style. I have no idea about the jokes she's written personally though.
Don't you think when it comes to make fun of any religion or sex or kind of any sensitive topics, audiences should be smart enough to get that? Like I don't want to elaborate this here but if you're smart enough you can get my point.
The riskier the joke, the more clever it needs to be. If not it just comes off as stereotypical. The hard part with this, if the audience does have some pre-knowledge on the subject they may not get the joke.
The only way some of these offensive jokes(the ones which are obviously crossing line) could be told is through an ignorant character like micheal scott from the office. We will actually laugh at how ignorant and stupid such people can be. In that way they will create awareness rather than creating stigmas and stereotypes.
benjamin martino Mate you fuck off Why are you such a triggered little bitch? Did the Bad Orange Man hurt you’re fee-fees? Better get back to your safe space!
why the fuck do people without a sense of humour go into comedy. Comedy is supposed to be a relief from the woes of the outside world, not just a sword to take down the iron dragon of inequality. It's secondary use is as a tool, it's primarily supposed to let us escape from the problems of the world.
Why did it take until 4.11 for Amanda Gray to be identified? I loved her dry world weary delivery and wanted to watch examples of her live set and topics but she seems to be strangely missing from the YT results list and unfortunately she has a name common to other performers so searchers easily give up.
Any chance that the new series wont feature the bald chap? The fella who the comment section have nicknamed 'Buzz Killington'...... If you are going to keep him please let the first episode be Bald Jokes
Comedy is not funny if you have to explain & analyze it or when you need to be vulgar throughout the whole thing. Who still watches Netflix specials? These stopped being funny few years ago.
Bearded "Oooouhooouhooouhh"-guy was my favorite
Benny the official bogan hahah
To be honest, I was really hoping Neel would add black jokes to the series.
Season 2 im sure he will
There aren’t any black people on the panel so it wouldn’t really work
you cannot joke about the blacks because kawlatii

@@nebulamask81 just the ones trying goo hard to be offensive
@@nebulamask81 I do find offensive jokes funny, just funny offensive jokes
croissant juan 666 fair enough, like I said some of the jokes weren't as well crafted imo.
is it over? I wanted disability jokes so badlyyy
I love this template for videos more experiments
People are far too sensitive and demanding, people need to give some and take some.
Any buddhist jokes? Thats what i admire and feel as very powerful so i'm curious if i can be offended :] It is represented by people so as everything it has sad, dark side. Maybe irony can be better. After "The Privilege Game" , "Modern Educayshun" and others i see U as some1 who can tell something important while joking. so the bar is pretty high :] Paranoid buddhist doesn't count :] What is Your motivation, only laugh ?
She looks like sid the sloth
I would like to see this series tried again from the other side. Different comedians and audience, most of the audience were with the programe. I'd like to see guys who aren't with the programe and aren't afraid of losing status.
Comedy seems like a serious business..
Why does Amanda Gray sound like a grumpy primary school principal?
Well...this was...disappointing. Specifically, these two were disapointing. The guy mostly so, kept repeating his "Im a feminist ally!!!! Like me!!!" talking points. Kept contradicting themselves as well. PC culture is "just an excuse" after speaking about how people get offended by just a word but ignore the joke, and how some people attend just to be offended and call the comedian out.
These two were all over the place
OMG, I love how woke and reasonable these two comedians are. I did not expect it. Neel, I hope you will learn and adapt more. Hugs
Women are self aware?. Since when?
Thats one way to summon cucks and bimbos.
They're so self aware that they hold 20 minute conversations in the entrances to shopping centres, block entire aisles with their body and trolley, lack any sense of peripheral vision, and walk backwards into people while looking at products on the shelves.
I fucking hate going shopping when there's heaps of women around.
shneershiishonest fucking hell that is funny. That would actually make a good bit. As a person that collects shopping trolleys, can confirm this is true
Great to see the balance in the guests - both obvious neo fems and the bloke bending over backwards not to offend the woman. He seemed to subscribe to the notion of male privilege and also that women comedians who knew they were unfunny didn't persist with their routines in state of denial. I did resonate with him however when he said that comedians don't change audience views but simply reinforced them.
patrice o'neal best comedian
Okay so we’ve established off the bat these “comedians” are far left
I love the idea of this show and I really wanted to laugh. But a lot of these jokes are just edgy but not funny . It’s a shame I really love the idea. Hopefully the writing style improves .
The Bit about the Pen Fifteen!
i like how you did not make indian jokes, i like that hypocricy
Him making fun of indians ua-cam.com/video/SAcBHJT4m4Q/v-deo.html
his career is all about indian jokes lol.
i love how amanda makes jokes in a very serious voice.
It's called deadpan humour
I think she genuinely only has 1 emotion at all times
@@GrowingDownUnder yeah, being a twat.
The only thing that offends me is other people getting offended by jokes.
Big PP time
George Carlin did not start this style. It was Lenny Bruce.
If you're a straight white male...."
Are you kidding me.... Social expectations of family and work for starts. Just look at those stats. It's ridiculous.
Honestly, I'm confused at the amount of PC garbage in this video... *from comedians* no less. And zero push-back from Neel. smh
Absolutely, that's the real joke here
not to mention male genital mutilation, worse results at all levels of school, and lack of resources or even acknowledgement of male victims of female perpetrators of abuse
@@ThePharphis Yeah, especially since it's female teachers that grade down boys that don't act like girls, and that's not counting medicating boys that act like boys, though CDC showing more reported "forced to penetrate" than "rape" is pretty damning nowadays.
Neel is specifically an observational host role in this series. If he actually prodded everyone on their views based on his own viewpoint it would've been a very different show, with every show ending with him arguing with the humourless people in the audience, given Neel's guilty of telling these types of jokes at some point.
I think Neel might be hoping to be 'more than just a comedian', perhaps eyeing a TV/Netflix gig some point
Do jokes about athletes next, they'll cross the line....... ba-dum- tshh 😂
Laura Powell naw yea naw yea mate that was corny
@@Benton675 Yes. Yes it was. 😉
I dare say to some of the snowflakes you had in this series that Weinstein remark would have crossed the line
How about crossing the line with Black people jokes? And why not? Guess there is a line there?!
I feel like the lady is not funny at all as a comedian
Skippy Keeping in mind that they weren't her jokes, she was just the person to deliver them she had a very straight faced style, that's not for everyone for sure, but I enjoyed how she told the jokes personally. Having a "straight man" in a comedy duo is a very old tradition which I've seen many times in old b&w films etc. which might be why I appreciate that style. I have no idea about the jokes she's written personally though.
@@nebulamask81 The jokes were written by Neel and a team of writers. I would imagine that the two comedians in the video were on the team.
Most aren't. She probably has a limited audience of neo-feminists and lesbians, like most other female 'comedians'.
If women know when they're not funny, why are so many of them not funny?
Jokes shouldn’t be allowed there naughty
If it's funny, it's funny. Adult humour isn't meant for kids. Why do we listen to kids?
💯
Thought crime!
Wog jokes
i dont belive that there is a line. Let us having fun. Jokes are jokes lets keep it that way
Don't you think when it comes to make fun of any religion or sex or kind of any sensitive topics, audiences should be smart enough to get that? Like I don't want to elaborate this here but if you're smart enough you can get my point.
The riskier the joke, the more clever it needs to be. If not it just comes off as stereotypical. The hard part with this, if the audience does have some pre-knowledge on the subject they may not get the joke.
Why does it have to be about changing someone's opinion. I am able to laugh at something I disagree with politically/morally/religiously etc
The only way some of these offensive jokes(the ones which are obviously crossing line) could be told is through an ignorant character like micheal scott from the office. We will actually laugh at how ignorant and stupid such people can be.
In that way they will create awareness rather than creating stigmas and stereotypes.
Trump 2020!
benjamin martino because the wall works m8 that's why
E. K .O Quit telling us about what you fantasize about at night mate, we don’t need to hear it
benjamin martino Mate you fuck off
Why are you such a triggered little bitch? Did the Bad Orange Man hurt you’re fee-fees? Better get back to your safe space!
Trump: More Jobs
Obama: No Jobs
Clinton: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Do aboriginal jokes
I live life to be offended.................lol.
why the fuck do people without a sense of humour go into comedy. Comedy is supposed to be a relief from the woes of the outside world, not just a sword to take down the iron dragon of inequality. It's secondary use is as a tool, it's primarily supposed to let us escape from the problems of the world.
Love these comedians, was great to hear their thoughts! Hoping you all get Netflix specials and CROSS THE LINE even further 🤪
Why did it take until 4.11 for Amanda Gray to be identified? I loved her dry world weary delivery and wanted to watch examples of her live set and topics but she seems to be strangely missing from the YT results list and unfortunately she has a name common to other performers so searchers easily give up.
I changed this comment so none of the replies will make sense
3 secs before me
You weren't first, I was
when?
Even if you're first you're still late & gay.
DontBotherNone I apologise?
Any chance that the new series wont feature the bald chap? The fella who the comment section have nicknamed 'Buzz Killington'......
If you are going to keep him please let the first episode be Bald Jokes
Neel needs better comedians, these two are lefties.
O
George Carlin was great, but dont forget who was before him like Dave Allen in the uk
Comedy is not funny if you have to explain & analyze it or when you need to be vulgar throughout the whole thing. Who still watches Netflix specials? These stopped being funny few years ago.
Ugh. That wasn’t funny at all
