Wrestlers say the stupidest things

Tony Hinchcliffe is the cunt who does impressions of people with cerebral palsy in his stand-up special so I hope he carks it on stage.

Yeah but he makes up for it by having people with cerebral palsy appear on Kill Tony and tell self deprecating jokes and then he can mock them after as they’re okay with it. “I’ve got loads of disabled friends” I’m sure he’d say.

Come on, he’s them doing service. How can he be a bad guy?

I think roasts are shite, but I know what they are and if they don't have the balls to bring up every allegation ever then it's just some pussies. Might as well do another fucking fake press conference asking about their runaway freight train success.

It's right before Mania and I want loads of thin-skinned wrestlers kicking off because they're pathetic. Except Drew, Wade and Sheamo who'll probably get the concept and really laugh at Seth Rollins posting about 'disrespect' on X afterwards or something.

Everyone involved seems like a real cunt so a drugs raid or something is the only positive I can wish from that event.

Fixed.

The only funny roast I've ever seen was from Norm Macdonald because he was the funniest person ever and he completely undermined the whole point of roasts.

This will undoubtedly be fucking awful.

The old roasts from the 60s and 70s are pretty good; though tame by today's standards and highly problematic in places, they're a lot wittier. The Dean Martin roasts of Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Don Rickles, and George Burns are a lot of fun, as is the Friar's Club roasts of Jerry Lewis, Jack Benny, and Milton Berle.

I've never enjoyed insult or roast or shock comedy. Any comedy primarily designed to make people go "Ooooh!" instead of trying to make them laugh first and foremost is shit.

"Offensive" comedy is the most boring comedy there is and should have been left in the mid 2000s. When someone tells you they like "offensive" or "edgy" comedy it's usually a good indicator that they are a stupid person. Comedy roasts and shock jock stuff definitely falls within that.

Offensive is a broad term though. People are offended by South Park but they’ve trod the line better than anyone over the decades. Anthony Jeselink has dark material but it’s the misdirect that’s meant to be funny not the dead baby punchline or whatever it is. There’s a few comedians that can use dark and ‘offensive’ subjects well and then there’s the scores of them telling a version of the same Homer Simpson what’s the difference between white guys and black guys joke. They’re the ones that will be on Tony Hinchcliffe’s WWE roast.

Don Rickles was great on all the roasts from that era, my old man first showed me 1 on YouTube and I loved his sharp wit. Just a really, really funny man. Him and Nipsey Russell together was always fun too.

One of my favourites in those is Rickles completely rinsing Jerry Lewis for never keeping in touch, never seeing him when he's in LA and in the neighbourhood, and how he didn't want to be at his "cockamamie show tonight" - then saying "But why am I here? 'Cause you could get big again."

He just knows how to command his audience instantly, and go from funny to amazingly sincere, and now I'm back down the Rickles Rabbit hole ??

I disagree with this. Parker and Stone are libertarians and any semblance of balance they've ever had in South Park from pretty much the beginning has always been a paper-thin layer over their bullshit politics and pissy attitude towards 'cancel culture'.

Like Jeselnik, they're undoubtedly clever and their acts are extremely well honed but they are still geared towards being Shocking or Controversial first and funny a fairly distant second.

Yeah Parker and Stone have this "either you can make fun of everything or you can't make fun of anything!" mindset. My rebuttal would be "why do you have to make fun of everything? Why not just be funny instead?". 

I loved South Park back in the day but over time the clear guiding principle of the show seems to be "it's stupid to care about anything whatsoever and if you do you are deserving of mockery and if you are offended then that's because of a flaw in you not in the world" which is a pretty bleak and depressing world view.

For me, the simple issue with Parker and Stone is the same issue I have with people who ask about International Men's Day, White History Month, or Straight Pride. They behave like everything is already an even playing field, and therefore everything should be open to mockery and ridicule, which is not surprising when you consider who they are.

James Acaster summed it up when he ripped the piss out of Gervais with his "Brave Little Cis Boy" bit: "You know who haven't had their privilege challenged recently? Those trans. I'm gonna shake them out of their complacency!"
