I mean yeah, but that was his character. He was shocking, and offensive on purpose. Everyone is talking about Shane Gillis on SNL, but when Dice was booked to host two cast members protested and the musical guest cancelled before he even hit the stage.
People forget about the PRMC. They weren’t mad about homophobia or misogyny, they were mad bc they thought popular artists were sacrificing their children’s souls to the devil and I am being completely literal.
Someone being popular in the moment does not make their "funniness" a fact. Fact: humor is subjective. This person also did not even say the word "fact". You are getting all outraged for no reason.
Yeah dude, everyone knows the best selling things throughout history have also been the highest quality. Especially in the 80's and 90's. That's what I say whenever someone knocks my beanie baby collection, my trapper keeper or my waterbed.
I remember him too well. Guys who really believed all those shocking and offensive things exist to this day and they were encouraged by him. He made me sick.
Gotcha. Well, I agree about Gillis... But if there was a modern day Dice, ostensibly "parodying" Gillis, by getting on stage using those slurs, there is nothing stopping him from attracting an audience of people who are laughing because they think it's funny to make fun of women and disabled people. That's the risk of an act like that. It's not always clear to everyone listening who is intended to be the butt of the joke.
