Weeeeeeee.

You know those people that refuse to cuss, but use words/phrases like "dang", "that stinks", "bullspit", etc? Those are the same people that are retarded, stubborn, or heavily ignorant.

I went to this local comedy club place where they have stand-up comedians and sketches.

The comedian was pretty good, he was telling jokes that were, admittedly, pretty witty. He used a lot of vulgarities, however. Everyone knows they were used for comedic effect and powerful descriptions, but there was one lady who didn't seem to understand.

After the comedian's performance, she complained to the establishment and to the comedian himself. She recommended that he "tone down his ill language or be doomed to hell".

Threatening someone with burning fire for all eternity is divine, but using words like "intercourse " and "poop" is Satanic?


Sometimes I don't understand the intercourse ing world.

It's all a personal choice. I don't mind swearing, but I don't use it.

I don't mind if people don't cuss. But when people use the alternative words like the ones I listed, I can't help feeling pity.

It's kind of similar to vegetarians who buy those burgers designed to be like real burgers.

I feel the same way. If you say freak and mean intercourse , you're saying the same thing, because you intend the same meaning. It's stupid that people do it.

I just do it so my parents don't get mad at me for cursing. :P

[Custom]

Yeah, intercourse    those people!

[Fish]

 I think that cursing in a casual conversation is unnecessary. It makes the person cursing look like they need attention or something. I only curse when I'm angry or when I need powerful descriptions, like you stated.

[Nayrman]

ironically it's those people that need to grow up X_X;;
They're just words for emphasis most of them have the same meaning as "toned down" stuff, so it's no big deal, seriously. It won't be an issue of the people who have problems get the hell over it and not let it bother them.

[Doodle]

Yeah, f***  those people!

They are  poop to me!
I don't really mind it, some people just don't like to swear. But the comedian had a purpose for using it, so the lady didn't really need to say that. :|

And comedians almost always have to swear, unless they're more funny without it.

With all forms of wordplay, you have to know how to use it for it to be effective.

Mindless swearing is just...useless.

So, I was intercourse ing walking my way through this poopty airport when some ugly ass ninny comes up to me and asks me for my intercourse ing ticket.
Am I a comedian yet? :3

That's descriptive.  D=

I think Groucho Marx once commented that if a comedian had to be dirty to be funny, he's not funny.  I believe the same goes for profanity.  Think about it, it's the same kind of thing: the reason you're laughing is that something that normally would not be acceptable is used freely in a mocking way.  It's an easy way out to insert profanity in your comedy to make it funny (which is a practice the Internet is quite familiar with).

That said, I do enjoy comedy with ridiculous amounts of profanity, like that image, but that is only if it is absurdist in nature...like that image.  If it's absurd to begin with, profanity works because it makes it even more absurd.  I guess, then, it depends on the type of comedy.

Now, stand-up...I know a lot of people would hate me for this, but I don't find most stand-up comedians funny.  Why?  They try too hard, and they rely mostly on observational humor, which is boring and idiotic.  And do you know what makes that more idiotic?  Inserting profanity.  THAT is where profanity is not needed and just makes the comedian look more like an idiot.  I think that lady may have been right in saying it could've done without it, then, if I'm thinking that comedian was that kind of comedian.

Also,

And comedians almost always have to swear, unless they're more funny without it.

If a comedian has to swear to be funny and another one does not, doesn't that just mean the latter comedian is the better one?

I lol'd right when I read the title.
