Having seen Kevin Hart live, I'm not surprised.
It was incredibly depressing that his openers (his "Solo cup boys") made homophobic jokes. One in particular was about how the comedian would be disappointed if his son was gay because he couldn't take him to the strip club with him.
Sorry that people aren't receptive to shitty, bigoted jokes any more Kevin. Maybe you and Dave Chappelle can get together and make jokes about trans/gay people to empty audiences.
Or in terms that you're more familiar with, "you 'gon learn today!'
the comedian would be disappointed if his son was gay because he couldn't take him to the strip club with him.
oh the tragedy
Uh ya might want to look up the term 'hollywood elite', what it refers to, then pick another phrase. 'Overpaid egoists perpetually high on their own farts' is a good one
World dominating government manipulating elder protocol Jews at that!
Oh too bad their shows always sell out arenas. Perform to empty crowds? You people live in your heads.
Then what are they fucking complaining about??? They aren't canceled then?
If the slightest push back from people who aren't even their fans upsets them so badly then I'm sorry, we might just be dealing with soft little snowflakes. It's a little criticism, get over it Mr. Rich guy.
It's always terrible comedians like Kevin Hart who complain about "PC Culture" or "being woke". And it's because they are terrible at comedy. They can no longer fall back on just saying something racist or sexist or transphobic "as a joke" instead of actually working on material.
There are a ton of great comics out there, but these guys? No, these guys' time has long since passed.
Every now n' then I unhide a comment that was hidden by my Hexbear instance block and am instantly reminded why I have a Hexbear instance block.
Wait, you're bothered by someone saying Kevin Hart is a shitty comedian? Have I read this right? I hate to say it, but if that's enough for you to be mad at the ebil hexbears, you should really probably just keep us blocked
Really weird to me the things lemmy libs choose to get offended by. I feel like we regularly post communist things that libs hate, but they only seem to point out the really benign shit.
"I dislike Kevin Hart and prefer comedians that don't rely on bigotry to get their jokes to land" -An opinion so foul it deserves an instance wide block, apparently
Reminds me of that one furry instance that defedded us because of a thread where we dunked on george bush and the iraq war
Honestly, I'm bothered by how aggressive and negative you guys are. Just aggression and negativity all day every day. Got sick of it.
I’m seeing just one aggressive and negative person in this particular reply thread, and it’s not the Hexbear user (for once).
HAHAH... You just volunteered to be a mole in the "Whack-A-Mole" game you silly goose!
You should either stop doing that or get better takes then lol.
The only funny thing I’ve ever seen performed at an awards show was done by will smith
Kevin Hart aside (I'll let others talk about what they like or dislike about him) -
I don't know how anyone thinks that the hollywood "elite" are comedy friendly. I don't know any celebrities right now that can take a joke about themselves. Either lighthearted or a good ribbing, I just see every one of them being upset and pouty. Sure they'll laugh at others, but to each one of them they're untouchable when it comes to jokes.
Personally I liked the humor, for me it humanizes them and it's like "Okay let's ground this thing in some reality before we make you feel like you're the most important people on the planet", but of course god forbid they remember they're just like us.
they should get frankie boyle to do it, and he'd just slag them off for 30 minutes straight
Jesus, every comedian whines about how they can't make offensive jokes anymore. Just recently watched a comedy special from 2008 where they spend the first 15 minutes doing exactly that while making offensive jokes and getting lots of laughs.
Were these major award shows always hosted by big comics? Seems like very separate skill sets.
I would like to see an actual MC rather than a comic. Keep it about the awards and the award recipients, not about the host.
Billy Crystal did it for a long time, he counts as a comedian
