this is where you see the power of gianmarco's theater kid background

[@BreandanAnraoi]

Might be more circus kid - he's on a very fine line, and he's not just walking it but doing acrobatics on it. But every time it seems like he's close to falling off, you realise it was all totally deliberate, he's in full control. Brilliant.

[@aesop1451]

I bet he's really happy Trump won, like Bibi Net and Yahoo, Bill Ackman, and Miriam Adelson. That's why I got off the Trump Train after his first term.

[@theprimo100]

@@aesop1451 What?

[@mustlovebooknerd]

@@aesop1451 This comment is wildly antisemitic. You're assuming that because Gianmarco is Jewish that he's automatically a Zionist when, if you'd done an iota of research before commenting you'd know he is very clearly not OK with what's been going on in Gaza or the way any conversation about it has been called antisemitism. Further, I'm pretty sure Gianmarco isn't a f***ing idiot and never got ON the Trump Train in the first place, so he never had to get off of it.

[@jfm14]

​@@aesop1451 So you're assuming he's happy Trump won because... he's Jewish? 🤔 Either you're new here or just trolling. Exit polling data varies depending on the source, but it's clear that Jewish voters were once again one of the most overwhelmingly Democrat demographics in this presidential election. Not really surprising considering how blatantly antisemitic Trump is. Even if a large portion of the Jewish community disagrees with Democrat voters as a whole on US Israel policy, they still know that the biggest threat to their safety comes from the right.

[@AuroraSilverFox]

That dramatic pause and wall lean, "...my dad still does it..." Is everything 😂 the lead up to that punchline had me crying

[@dillona1001]

[@goaty1964]

Didn't he do theatre studies? If not he should..

[@tennisCharlzz]

He does a double punchline. First, he says his dad does it talking in a Chinese accent at an Asian restaurant. That's funny just by itself. But he added the second punchiline which is they're at an Indian restaurant. The first punchline suggests that his dad is some kind of racist, but the second is that he's not a bright racist. That's comedy.

[@kahkah1986]

@@tennisCharlzz I think the point is that the dad is trying to be kind by doing the whole thing in an accent the waiter would find easier to follow, so he's happy he's being neighborly, but he comes over as racist because people assume he's sneering at them and try to cancel him. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

this is why I always just laugh when ppl talk about "you can't make jokes anymore", it's not that you can't make jokes about sensitive topics, it's that their jokes just aren't funny.

[@teresawelter7530]

I grew up watching a german-turkish comedian called Kaya Yanar who did international impressions and he always said "Every culture has the right to be made fun of". Haven't been to any recent shows so I don't know if he still does this but at least back then his audience loved it! The audience was always the wildest mix of nationalities and everytime he mentioned a certain country you would hear someone from there cheer. There was an atmosphere of understanding that we can all laugh about ourselves and one another without putting them down. Again, maybe that's still how it is, I just haven't been in a while. He has some English shows up on KZbin I think if anyone's interested 🎉

[@NickHunter]

Well yeah there's a big difference between taking the piss for a laugh and being mean-spirited

[@affanalam6123]

Thanks for the recommendation ,he sounds interesting.

[@AnkhAnanku]

From what I hear, such an atmosphere comes about when there is a level of trust created by the comedian with their audience. Trust that the writer knows the truth and can handle irony correctly. Trust that they put craft into the set beyond cheap digs. Trust that an edgy joke does not hold a real razor outside the door. A comedian builds this over a long time by reputation, I think, and by courting and cultivating the right following.

[@Goldfish_1313]

I am pretty sure some of Kaya yanar‘s characters would be seen as racist by an american audience

Covid is still around though even if a lot of people FEEL like it's gone. Disabled and chronically ill people are being left behind because most people seriously can't deal with long term or permanent disabilities and diseases. No resilience shown, while we are always being cheered on as being resilient. Everyone else need to become more resilient instead of denying things that they often or never experience themselves. BUT, Gianmarco's comedy makes it easier to deal with a lot of problems. That I can agree on.

[@the_markoman]

Growing up, I feel like it was easier to make racist jokes and impressions, mainly because it was also easier to assume that no one would actually say such terrible things unironically. Then the rise of the alt-right and trumpism came along and exposed the world to the fact that there are far more scumbags out there than we assumed. Comedy is just another thing that racists try to ruin. It's good to have people like Gianmarco around who find ways to make us laugh in spite of it.

Racist "jokes" normailize actual racism. Where as you think it's a funny stereotype, other will see it as truth or weaponize it. You seem good natured, but it's part of the problem. I was the same as kid, but when grew up I realized "what's the point?" Words have meaning.
