Legendary comedian Don Rickles died in 2017 at age 90. If he were still alive in today's woke society, he would be burned at the stake. Watch his Saturday Night Live monologue from 1984 and prepare for self-righteous heads to explode. Part of the Rickles SNL monologue included this line: "I make jokes about Black people cuz I'm not one." The crowd roared with laughter as Rickles went on to imitate Blacks, Italians, Puerto Ricans, Chinese, and other races and ethnicities. Huge audience laughter. This week, the woke castmates on SNL are upset that business tycoon Elon Musk is the guest host. Why? Because he's a rich white guy. That's his crime. Some SNL "comedians" are hesitant to appear on stage with Musk. When did

Jokes are jokes. Just because you’re offended doesn’t mean you’re right.
What she said. #nailedit your average Hollywood bigshot is no more knowledgeable or interesting on the great issues of our time than my great aunt Gladys. My take on why @rickygervais got it right. https://t.co/GZvtAQRCjR— Kay Hymowitz (@KayHymowitz) January 7, 2020 What he said. #nailedit 1. Simply pointing out whether someone is left or right wing isn't winning the argument. 2. If a joke is good enough, it can be enjoyed by anyone.3. It's not all about you. 4. Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right.— Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) January 8, 2020 Gervais' most poignant moment came when he torched Apple, Amazon, and Disney for their oppressive, skinflint labor practices. Apple CEO Tim Cook was in the audience and could
The Golden Globes with balls…and without
Here's the 2016 Golden Globes monologue by Ricky Gervais...cracking jokes about Caitlyn Jenner, old man balls, cross dressers, celebrity egos, aged women, Catholic priest molestation, the Holocaust, Ben Affleck's infidelity, Charlie Sheen's hookers, awards prepaid by studios, and other uncomfortable subjects. As he was introducing actor Mel Gibson, Gervais annihilated Gibson for his anti-Semitic rant, arrest, and addiction problems. Gibson then walks onstage, gives Gervais a giant hug and tells the crowd that he loves seeing Ricky every three years (as host) because it "reminds me to get a colonoscopy." Comedy is exaggeration. This is the very basis of show business, but in today's WOKE world of sensitivity, comedy died. Had that Gervais & Gibson exchange occurred today, the media
Snowflakes BEWARE: Rickles’ rude, insensitive, racist remarks are posted here! Run to your SAFE SPACE!
Humorlessness took a giant step forward this week. Acerbic comedian and actor Don Rickles passed at age 90. Today's sanctimonious, better-than-you snowflakes are dancing a jig on his grave. Well...only the descendants of those for whom jig dancing is a native tradition. Otherwise that would be racially-tinged cultural appropriation. Today's sensitive snowflakes are quick to point out on social media that anyone who makes jokes is a bully. Any voiced or written subject that does not pertain to one's own personal lineage, gender, transitioning gender, age, race, or family of origin is unacceptable. As soon as any other human person finds it offensive then the creator must publicly apologize. (see: Michael Keaton incorrectly references "Hidden
