Well it depends on what you mean when you say BAD comedians. Is it bad meaning rubbish or bad meaning naughty? These days everyone’s a critic especially towards comedians so if you’re a rubbish one you would get slaughtered!! Now a naughty comedian in my opinion gets away with everything, people like Richard Pryor, Billy Connolly and the others mentioned in the lecture whose name I can not remember and since the presentation on Wolf is corrupted or something I can not get too, as I was saying people like Richard Pryor paved the way for comedians to get away with making a joke about everything and anything. Comedians can be sexist, racist and any other 'ist' they want to be. No subject is taboo for them; they seem to be above the certain rules of political correctness and political delicacy employed by society. If a normal random person instead of a comedian just suddenly started spouting, in the middle of a town centre, half the things some comedians say he would most likely be arrested for disturbing the peace!! On the other hand there’s a reason why comedians are still in business it’s because we love them!! We love being able to stop being politically correct and all that for like an hour and a half and to just be able to sit back and laugh at something without being called Racist or Sexist or any other 'ist'! Comedians give us a respite from Society's Rules and Regulations and to be honest some of what they take the mock out of is true! Comedians in some of their jokes and performances do have a point, we all think what they say and we know it to be true but we never mention it. However not all comedians were 'ists' so to speak. I mean look at Laurel and Hardy and Charlie Chaplin they were hilarious and they were not 'Bad' unfortunately that type of slapstick comedy is out at the moment. Just like fashion comedy changes with time, so it might not be long before bad comedians are out and slapstick is back!!
Here’s a list of Comedians you’ll be surprised with how many names you know of it...i was!
