I heard that there was a big to-do about this monologue, but I just saw it, and I’m baffled. The only thing I can see is that some people might have said he played the Jew card. But that doesn’t sound like people to whom the MSM pay any mind.
Not offensive.He's become one of my favorite speakers.Check out his "tribute" to Steve Martin on youtube.Very inventive.

Larry David is Jewish? It should be OK for him to make jokes about Jews. Such as a colored man would makes jokes about the behavior of other colored.

ReplyDeleteMaking fun of the old, the deformed, the blind then making "light" of the holocaust are all things that are not supposed to be done anymore. Oh wait, maybe I should be saying the "youth challenged", "body symmetry challenged little people" and the sight deprived. Sorry about that, I'll strive to use proper PC descriptors in the future. To top it off he then pokes fun at the epidemic of sexual harassment in Hollywood. How dare he! He must be a closet sympathizer of those predators to actually joke about the subject! He's a jew himself so I guess we can give him a pass on the rather flip joke about the weighty subject of the holocaust.
I think he touched on a lot of things that could conceivably offend certain special interest groups but it was still pretty weak stuff as far as being controversial goes, it's definitely the thin skinned types that would find it offensive. We've got plenty of those in the country though, and the internet gives them a forum in which to express their outrage and inflict it on the rest of us.
I chuckled one or twice but it was most offensive in how unfunny it was. A standup Larry David is not. Usually these SNL monologues are written to reflect the fact that the people delivering them are usually not stand up comedians, very often actors, musicians or other celebrities of some kind. This one sounded like it was written as a stand up routine but it fell flat, thanks in no small part to Larry David's amateurish delivery, maybe Louis CK could have wrung some genuine laughs out of the material but the writers were really off base thinking David has the timing and stage presence to make it work.
The guy is ugly,hateful & not funny.He is also anti_Christian like most atheist Jews.
