Nobody cares which jokes you think are off limits

Everyone is up-in-arms over the Matt Rife comedy special.

Every time a comedian comes under fire, this is what I wish I could scream from the rooftops: You’re allowed to speak about what you find to be “inappropriate” comedy, but just understand that—in this instance—you almost always sound annoying to everyone else in the room. You sound like every other person who’s ever complained about how we “shouldn’t joke about that.” In this instance, there’s nothing special, moving, or compelling about your voice.
If a joke fails with an audience, a joke fails. If it fails repeatedly, it’s probably either not funny or not delivered well. If it’s not funny, it shouldn’t be told. But at a COMEDY show, that’s literally the only reason to censor yourself—because what you were gonna say wasn’t funny—not because it “wasn’t appropriate.” If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen, snowflakes.

*and no, this isn’t me saying I thought the joke—or the special (which I haven’t seen)—was funny.
