Comedy is not allowed, since not everyone has a sense of humor. They will be unhappy when they can't get the joke. It is not fair that some have humor privilege.

And who could forget the Dean Martin roasts? Incredibly funny humor back when the country was racially integrated.
My favorite; Don Rickles, of course, here with Sammy Davis Jr...

late-night hosts almost have a political undertone
Written by someone afraid to come out and speak his mind.
There is no ‘almost,’ and the blatant leftism is not an undertone. If there is such a thing, it is an overtone.

I am not a hoity-toity, but obvious vulgar humor does not move me to laugh. If it must be vulgar, then I want some irony.
Blazing Saddles worked for me; Caddy Shack did not. (Similarly, I find Adam Sandler unfunny.)
The closest I have come to laughing out loud recently was while watching Game Night. It was at least somewhat humorous.

Note: this topic is from . Thanks again Kaslin. Re-ping.
This is when the rules get even muddier. It also appears that if you are white and female, you can make sexuality jokes on Twitter, but if you are black and male, you cannot. At least that is the point former Nickelodeon star Nick Cannon made last week when he called out comics Sarah Silverman and Chelsea Handler for their past homophobic tweets after comedian Kevin Hart was ousted from hosting the Academy Awards for similarly spirited past tweets.
