Ha Ha! Very Funny....Wait What?

OK, I just got back from the comedian that came to campus, and I'm rather offended and ashamed of what comedy has come to these days. It seemed like the more raw or uncensored the joke was, the more people laughed. Does a joke have to involve sexual material for it to get a laugh? When he tried to feed the audience jokes that didn't involve these subjects, the laugh was not as strong. I don't understand this

Pigeon Forge is a small town in Tennessee that is a common vacation spot for my family. It is a tourist attracting town full of dinner theaters, and small clubs and shows. In the mix of attractions is a place called the Comedy BarnIt is a hilarious program that takes pride in the fact that the entire show is comprised of CLEAN comedy. Something the whole family can watch.
So although it is possible to get a laugh without compromising your morals, unclean comedy is becoming to popular for my liking and it only shows the state our country is really in.

I agree. Comedy has become vulgar. It is too full of cussing, sexual innuendos, and racial slurs. I will admit that I occasionally find such things amusing, but when it is when it becomes pervasive that I find myself truly disgusted.

In some ways, that is why I prefer British comedy. And old British comedy, at that. They made sexual remarks, but they were so veiled you had to go back through and pick them out. And it was comedy that was social commentary.
