This episode is entitled: What are the boundaries of Comedy? The First Part we discuss Will Smith Slapped #Chris Rock after he made a joke about Jada’s hair calling her “G.I.Jane. Will Smith Slapped Chris Rock after he made a joke about Will’s wife hair calling her “G.I.Jane. But Will’s wife’s struggle with alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss. So Will was defending his wife from the insult which touched a sensitive and emotional issue for the Smith’s family as Will’s wife has been struggling to deal with this issue. But Chris probably was trying to make light of a serious situation. But he miscalculated as it was a personal and psychological and sensitive issue that could push buttons and it did. For #Jada didn’t laugh or smile and Will got up, went to the stage and hit Chris. I do not subscribe to this type of reaction and violence is never the answer. But standing up for your family and your woman is what men do in the animal kingdom. Chris was out of line. But comedians always use jokes or humor that at times cuts deep and seems more an insult as if insults and bringing up peoples emotional scars is funny or what counts for jokes. Comedians will now tread carefully when trying to crack a joke. This lead into Part B: What is or are the boundaries if any of comedy that seeks for laugh to arrive at some selfish gratification? It is like milking a barren goat 🐐 to the point of hurt so as to satisfy one's hunger or thirst without any sensitivity for the cow because the cow is an animal and it's feelings are not important to the herder only his desires to feed his family and quench his personal desires. Comedy has become just that: herders who will go below the belt to crack a joke to appease his desires to achieve humor, applying a strategy developed from his/her awareness of human nature. For human beings are more reactive to certain stimulus or stimuli especially those that are negative and "below the belt." This has never been the strategy for comedians and jesters; and many ended up quitting as they were unable to sustain or maintain the goal of comedy and comedians—to be funny and provide humor; but for what purpose? To provide humor that leads to a kind of catharsis or release. Humor was always necessary as it helped to provide a break from the tensions, seriousness and insensitivities of everyday—work—life. Comedians never understood this and had forgotten about their purpose and goals, as they abandoned their initial identity subscribing only to the activity or the mission to tell jokes for laugh. But in doing so, they've mixed up the priorities thereby diluting their essence. Why: Comedy within neoliberal capitalism has become infected by the new ethic of greed, nepotism and connectionism.
