Is this an example of inoffensive humor centered around rape/consent? [View all]

No, I am not purposely trying to stir up shit. After reading numerous rape-related threads over the last couple of days, and being mindful of what an emotional topic it is to have an extended conversation about, I became genuinely curious about DU's opinion of this Louis CK clip. It remains one of my favorite short bits by him.

Expert comedic timing, IMO. I crack up at 1:00 every time.

Yes, I find that inoffensive... and sadly educational. redqueen Nov 2012 #2

I think there's more leeway with a standup comedian... SidDithers Nov 2012 #3
