[@blazingmonolith4323]

People who cant see the comedy in this have no sense of humor. Why is it so hard for you to laugh? how come u cant just ignore the politics of it for 1 sec and have a chuckle, ive listened to this whole album and this guy has some really good material. People need to stop taking everything so seriously, its comedy after all.

[@NoFocksGiven_]

Robert Ferris because he isnt funny. The only way to stop a chainsaw murder.....is with a wait for iiiiit A GUUUUN!. I mean this guys set is cringeworthy. If you are laughing. Maaaaybe your missing out on something. Sjws arent funny.

[@dianeaskew3125]

Too political

[@mesCheerios]

I laughed at all the jokes! Normally i wouldn't make such a mundane comment but there are so many people who felt the need to express their lack of laughter that i thought i should be the voice of awesome

[@heatherkuhn6559]

I think the title would be better phrased as "NOT all lives matter." Where you put the word "not" changes the meaning of the sentence, and that's important here.

[@Pudlis16]

this isn't comedy, it's just an angry liberal dude pandering to an angry audience

[@friendlier]

Hahahahaha... "just"

[@Jack-ce9jl]

disgusting, how did this lump ruin simpsons?

[@mrfantastic407]

That's pretty much why I had to stop watching George Carlin near the end.

[@NoFocksGiven_]

Exactly bro. The only way to stop a chainsae murder.....is with a gun.... what sorry excuse for comedy.

[@sachinaswal]

Tee Zee Because of you he said “All Lives Don’t Matter”.

[@joebrokenstrang3711]

So I just heard of this guy today, via Stewart Lee's plagiarism corner. Stew lists bits that he has done and underneath has a bit from another comic or commentator that is either exactly the same or similar to Stew's original bit. He also has bits others have done _before_ he produced similar material, to highlight the fact that similar ideas can exist independently of each other. With this guy, rather than cite specific instances, Lee has just put "Everything".

Imagine an adult being bullied by a cartoon show.

[@DuskWolf_]

Imagine being a non-represented minority with only dated stereotypes of white guys doing impressions of your hard-working immigrant family members who suffered ridicule and shame in a strange, foreign land but endured it all to make sure their family was taken care of and had opportunities and advantages that they themselves never had. But hey, white people love their Apu’s too right

[@SethMcFartlane]

@@DuskWolf_ You just described Apu. The color of the skin of the voice actor would only be relevant to people who believe race should matter above all else. i.e. Racists.

[@DuskWolf_]

I want to look into a career as a "Laugh Actor". They must exist, because I know ol' Curly-Top here isn't getting any actual laughs. PS What is that in your pockets - ballast to counteract all your hot air so you won't float away? (Feel free to use that one! It couldn't hurt! )

[@based9930]

Glad someone else noticed.

[@glubibobi]

Love you're comedy Hari but according to your argument then "Black Lives Matter" should be changed to "Some Black Lives Matter"...just saying.

[@markhill5798]

"some black lives matter" would sound like that its saying only a few black lives matter, fuck the rest. however this would be a fitting name because BLM is only whining about black people who were killed by police, and ignoring all the deaths that come from black on black murders. Black lives matter doesn't care about black lives

[@emibritoo]

Porque hiciste eso con apu la cajeta de la lora. eres muy cruel! 😡😡

So you gonna use your whataboutisms such as the Bumblebeeman, Luigi and Cletus to point out that the Simpsons makes stereotypes of everyone in order to distract from the argument than address the wrongness of assuming all Indian peoples are store clerks?! I'd like to hear what your solution to the problem of racial stereotyping is, ya putz.

Who Shot Apu? Had to look this guy up. Gave him a fair shot, but.... his act is sadly pathetic. Not funny in the least. If I was in the audience at that club, I would be thinking: -"Oh, man! He's gonna be on stage for 3 water bottles?!" 😖

[@rmk2879]

ALM - All Lives Matter. All lives infested with sin. Everyone is a victim of pre-existing sin. For God all lives are equal, all lives matter. God loves everyone unconditionally. Jesus Christ came from heaven to earth for one purpose only - to die on the Cross for remissions of pre-existing sins of every single person and to resurrect. Jesus Christ providing forgiveness of pre-existing sins; salvation from eternity in hell; and free entry to eternity in heaven for all who repent of sins in Jesus Christ. Otherside of death is eternity. Eternity in hell. Or eternity in heaven through Jesus Christ. Penalty of pre-existing sin already paid by Jesus Christ on The Cross. Accept Jesus Christ, be saved from pre-existing sin and eternal hell for free.

[@XEndlessSteelX]

Ill just assume that those laughs are just edited in to make it seem as if this guy actually was in any way funny. Which he isnt. Also, he has no idea about gun regulations, police and black "oppression"

[@saif162]

yeah. I'm chinese and none of this was funny.

[@jaylineff]

Note: FILMED AT A STUDIO. What did thy do, set up folding chairs in the studio? It's not filmed at a club or on stage somewhere. He's performing for a cameraperson. That is most definitely canned/recorded laughter. No real audience-laughing stops dead, on cue or starts the same. Just sayin.

[@gentilegrief]

Protip: If you're a paunchy, effeminate bindi, "let's take this thing racial" might not be the best rhetorical strategy.

[@renato170]

What you did was to impose your opinion when you felt offended. You live in a country that is not yours, it does not represent your origins or your culture and you want to change them.

[@imaratspal]

I'm of Indian decent (my parents are from there) and lean left but this is just partisan, SJW, unfunny garbage. If this guy is getting paid to go up on stage then anyone can be a stand-up comedian.

The only one that matter to Hari is Hari. That is why he is trying to kill Apu; Little Hari’s feelings got hurt back when he was -mentally the same age as he is now, I guess..- and instead of getting over it and growing up like everyone else, he made a movie about how he, who calls himself a comedian, wants to censor comedy! A whiny little personality who wants sympathy; dont realize he is an unsignificant nobody and APU IS A LEGEND! Is Oxy-Moron a real word? It would apply in his case..
