Saw it and loved it. I thought a couple of his bits like the Michael Jackson stuff were a little too far over the line and I didn’t agree with what he said, but I can stand to hear things I don’t agree with. I didn’t agree with everything Carlin said either but he was one of the greatest.

And yeah, stick around for the clips and Q&A after the credits. That part worked on PC and Roku Express, but didn’t work on my old Roku 2.

I’m really looking forward to Bill Burr’s new special too, I think he’s lost some of his anger but he still regularly points out bullshit when he sees it.

If you’re trans, or if you’re well-steeped in the experiences of being trans through some other means, and you can make great insightful surprising jokes that reflect the experience of being trans, that’s very different from making jokes from the outside of the experience.

You start off saying “Nobody is asking for protected classes” but then go on to do exactly that.

If that’s your weird definition of “protected classes,” spiffy.

That’s not what a protected class is. You’re not allowed to fire someone for being black, _even if you’re black_, because race is a protected class in that circumstance. Saying “Maybe you shouldn’t make jokes about black people unless you’re part of that experience” isn’t remotely the same thing.
