I remember when PC stood for "personal computer," now it means something totally different and it has an impact on being a comedian.
In this video Jerry Corley--comedian, screenwriter, teacher--answers a tweet asking how comedians need to adjust to the new hypersensitive P.C. world when discussing a tragic event. Do we change what we say?

Every one of these videos in this series are gold for those of us just starting out -- usable, intelligently-presented advice backed by years of personal experience and specific examples. Keep up the great work, Jerry!
The thing that's so annoying is the fake outrage. They aren't sensitive, they are opportunists.
Ive wondered for a long time how the great George Carlin would be viewed if he were still with us today. I know in the last couple decades, he got more and more cynical and way past the point of what's considered PC these days.
Thank you man. The dude abides, by laughing at his own turmoil.
You’re a great mentor! You dissect and interpret comedy in such a relatable way. You’ve given me tools to work on my own set. Priceless advice, Thank you. 🤝
Just found this channel I'm looking to do my first stand up set in 2019 ...finding his videos helpful
"Just the way it is" is quite literally destroying comedy. Comics are on the frontlines of freedom of speech and need to continue to push those boundaries. I don't mean maliciously attacking or discrimination but we need to be able to laugh at ourselves. Comedy would be extremely dull if we were not willing to risk offending.
I know I'm just one guy, but thank you for your UA-cam videos and Twitter page. Your information has grown me tremendously.
So cool of you to leave such a nice comment. Glad I could help.
The Stalin and Hitler bit was pretty funny though. The Michael Jordan of evil. Lol
Another great one. Thanks a lot doc
Great stuff. I like that you talk about the peripheral aspects about comedy business.
Valuable unique stuff
I agree with you but for the record I think Bill probably knows all of what you’re saying, but probably just doesn’t care enough because there’s always another sponsor who won’t mind..
Is it a comic strategy whereby, if the set it isn’t really going over well, to have a designated “heckler” on que to start up and then they use preplanned roasting and comeback jokes to use as alternative to the set? Like they’re actually in cahoots with each other the whole time?
Great advice Jerry. Thanks!
I put a Joe Biden joke up in a writing group and some people acted like i slapped their mother. I'm thinking it's because they don't know me. I'm just making a joke not a political statement.
@ 21:14The crowd wanted Boston Bill Burr, not Austin Bill Burr 😆
Bill Burr has kinda earned the right to make a mistake here and there.
By doing what?
Hey Jerry I have a question, can you make jokes about autism? My joke is a in a video and involves comparing the disruption of a sheeps routine to an autistic persons routine with a picture of mark zukerberg to represent an autistic person. I don’t think it’s bad but my wife does so now I’m in two minds about making it. I have nothing against autistic ppl, sheep or mark zukerberg.
Playniacs McDudes you can make jokes about anything. There is no such thing as an offensive joke because the intent of a joke is to make people laugh. If it’s offensive then it’s not a joke to begin with.
You're either funny or you teach. Honest to fucking god.
Great video. I do still think the hype around "offended" people is more than the actual issue though.
Wait why is Bill Burr a sexist? Because he criticizes women as equally as anyone? Tf are you talking about
Juan Rivera someone got triggered.
@@asaskald a lil lol, it's still bullshit though
Yeah, you did. ;)
Juan Rivera Maybe you don’t know what constitutes a sexist. It was pretty clear in the video, but let me spell it out. When someone says, grow a dick and some balls so you can have some courage,” that, by definition is a sexist statement. Shall I clarify further? Saying you have to have to be a man to have courage is sexist. If you don’t see that, you might be a sexist. 😃
Don’t get me wrong, I love Bill Burr as a comic, but I don’t have to be a sycophant and love everything he does just because I’m a fan.
Burr is hilarious, entertaining as hell, and absolutely necessary to comedy. Also. He is sexist. That's just how it is 🤷.
Strange world.
Just to be clear, I loved this video which did bring value to my day. I too thought Burr's mass-murder bit was weird, but I don't think his points about Chairman Mao were wrong, even if his numbers where off - I just thought the bit left a lot wanting from a comedic standpoint.
So, at the risk of comming accross as overly pedantic, I will list the numbers, because the numbers are important, and mass-murdering socialist thugs should be mocked by great commedians for the next thousand years, and it would be nice if their numbers were accurate.
To clear up the murder totals on Democide (people murdered by their own governments) I recommend Dr. Rummel at the University of Hawaii.
Total non-civillian deaths in WW2= 50-56 million - it is difficult to pin all those on the National Socialists in Germany.
Nazi democide and mass murder 1933-45=21 million victims
Soviet Genocide & Murder and mismanagement of resources through socialism, through it's entire history = 62 million victims
Chines communism great Leap forward 45million, direct democide of about 35 million = 80 million deaths.
Socialism kills, but hopefully not more than modern comics.
Brett Blackham there was nowhere near 50-56 million non-civilian deaths otherwise known as military deaths in WWII. The death toll for WWII is around 75 million and around 50 million of them were civilians.
Waaaay back when, we had a saying: Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.
If I ever see Bill Burr on the street, I have to ask him "Hey Billy Boy! How's that dog of yours?"
Loser
A-HA! I KNEW there was a reason i never liked bill burr beyond his jokes. He lacks self awareness and yet speaks with this air of authority (i get that hes a comedian so thats part of it) so i cant suspend disbelief to take him as an act, and i cant take him seriously because then I'd be supporting a bigot.
First the anti Trump comment in one video and now the anti Christian commentary in another video. I hope this liberal slant doesn't continue since I like your channel.
Squirrel Attackspidy are you so fragile that an opposing opinion is too much for you to handle?
Probably need to refilm this episode. I'm red green colorblind, and your combination of green shirt red curtain is OFFENSIVE to me.
Christmas must really suck for you
@@JerryCorley every christmas has been hard since grandma got run over by a reindeer.
Amy Schumer's standup is a public tragedy.
Perhaps a little clearer language about who or what is culpable? You said: "Really? so that's the way you want to play this so you're coming after me - the messenger - when basically the Church is the guys fucking the kids not me..." That is blaming Jesus for Judas. The Church is the collective. Homosexual seductions by horny or faux priests is condemned by both Church and society at large. The Church welcomes sinners but not the sin and the good humor and charity of the church is obscured by selfish, greedy or deviant prelates. When this happens in other organizations, the entire organization is not condemned (usually). So what makes your humor work is that you perceive the contradiction between vows of celibacy and child rape but you probably are not certain if homosexuality is the culprit or hypocrisy. The Church - and you can include Moses and the Law too - does not welcome much of anything regarding sex except for use in a sanctified marriage for making and caring for babies! Practically all society today has the certainty that sex is for pleasure and that babies are either a blessing or a disposable by-product. Well, not too disposable, as organ harvesters and stem-cell people would prefer. But the Church has historically kept the position which come from Scripture and centuries-old practices, that marriage and sex are it. Anything else - playboys, Poligamy (Islamic, Mormon, serial divorces, keeping mistresses) comfort women, prostitution, pimping, orgies, pornography, political marriages, and so on -- are not to be practiced by Christians. Why? Really, as we say in one form of the act of contrition - YOU [Jesus] deserve all my love! So, there you have it. The Church opens its arms to all, but when some of us sinners want to continue in our wicked ways (not a judgment but an expression) and lie in our confessions, and not really mean it when we say we will amend out ways - well of course that leads to hypocrisy, dishonesty, rage, a cry for justice. The eternal teachings are unchanged but it is so difficult for us human beings to keep on the course and give up all those pleasures in exchange for the promise of eternal life! That require faith in Jesus and that a great thing if you can see the difference between the divine order and its temporal shadow, the created one.
Incidentally, your insights and teachings and experience are so spot on and generous as you put these out there free! And yes, every time a gay priest puts his little self into a boy the church coughs up 1 mill per. And the attorneys that specialize in this kind of settlement get 30+ %, the anti-clerical press curses the church, the ordinary Sunday-Christmas-Easter catholic rises up in discouragement and leaves, the poor victims thinks God did it and should be cursed. None of this is positive yet outside in the public sphere, we espouse nearly every form of pleasure seeking and refuse to image any dark or costly or deadly consequences. That is funny! Just be funny, right. Stand up there and be funny!
