When it comes to stand-up, people feel this need to voice their objection through groaning or being offended. It's really irritating... I mean I love what I do, but that's the irritating side of it.
Jim NortonI hope you have a miscarriage on a Walmart floor and have the baby's room already decorated.
Jim NortonPeople are too worried a lot of times what other people in the audience are going to think about them, so they like to feign offense so other people don't think that they're inappropriate for laughing at something.
Jim NortonIt just seems like right now weโre in a place where people are being witch-hunted for expressing an opinion. Even if itโs a lousy opinion or a shitty opinion, and comics I donโt think can ever fall into the trap of any groups that want to censor what a person says or thinks or punish a person for expressing what they think. Anything you say about a social issue is going to offend half the country. I donโt care how nicely you say it, I donโt care how well you construct the joke, simply by stating the opinion, you are for something and anti something else.
