To be gutted at the DVD of comedian Stu Francis?

[MargaretGraceBondfield]

So sat with DH looking forward to watching Stu Francis, I think he's very funny and inoffensive.

So it was joke a minute for about half an hour and then bombshell: He told a joke about rape victims, something about rapists not being able to take no for an answer (He's a one liner comedian and so brilliant word play) and so I thought well the word play is funny, but content was a bit off. Then he told a joke about rape victims, along the lines of if they don't think it's funny, fuck 'em. Now I'm uncomfortable. Still watching. Then he says 'I was in an elevator with a spastic.....ooops sorry I know that's the wrong word, lift'

I'm still stupidly thinking perhaps this is more about the language, benefit of the doubt.

And then (sorry) he repeatedly says 'retard' and proceeds to talk like someone with severe special needs. At this point I thought that he was definitely a stupid twat.

AIBU to think that there are endless things that are funny in this world and we do not have to laugh at rape victims or people with special needs or disability?

Sorry if this topic has been done to death, but I was so shocked by another comedian taking cheap shots that I had to raise this.

No, totally, but there are a lot of people who try to get away with offensive because they can't actually achieve funny.

Oh yes Dylan Moran. I changed my name to 'IControlSandwichMonkey' for a while because of him. Not my real name obviousy, that would be silly. I can't hear that Funk Soul Brother song without cackling with laughter.

"If you covered a broom handle with oil and shoved it up my arse, then put me on a trampoline, in a lift, I could write a better song on the walls".

It's better if you listen to him say it.
