Chris D'Elia Reacts to Clapping Being Replaced by Jazz Hands

Chris reacts to a morning show video where a woman is arguing that people shouldn't clap anymore. Instead, they should do jazz hands to be more "inclusive." Listen to this nonsense.

Comedian (Incorrigible, Man on Fire) and actor Chris D'Elia sits down every week to talk about what's on his mind.

jazz hands are prejudiced against people with carpal tunnel syndrome.

[@fargotua13]

[@Sinnbad21]

Here’s my dumb argument for not using jazz hands. Jazz hands has always been looked at as a very effeminate thing to do. A man would be looked at as a “fairy boy” for doing it. Therefore seeing a bunch of straight men doing this would be considered homosexual appropriation and would offend the gays. We would appropriate their culture. The argument I just made is fucking stupid and is grasping at straws but that’s because this dumb broad is using the same method. Using her logic you could find a reason not to do anything bcuz it could be offensive to one person across the world. Ugh I hate her so much. The Pussification of America is too real

[@Sinnbad21]

fargotua13 They probably can’t clap either. So now we have to ban both clapping and jazz hands because a people with carpal tunnel are excluded and will feel left out even more.
