No. This is not a really good thread. Next you'll be telling us that Bill Hicks was the greatest comedian that ever lived. Funny is funny. Cunts are cunts. Funny can be rude and offensive. But rude and offensive does not equal funny.

I definitely agree that things that are rude aren't automatically funny, if that's all you're saying.
But if a guy gets famous while saying homophobic and misogynistic stuff, and loads of people laugh at it and pay money to see it all the time, I think you're better off trying to figure out why that can happen than just asserting that it isn't funny after all.
Telling people that something's offensive just makes it more funny when a famous guy gets up on stage and gets away with telling jokes about it to his audience. I don't like it, but I'm pretty sure that's the point of those kinds of jokes.
