Episode notes

Rick Steves: "I just got a new microphone and I'm hoping I sound better than Tamler" The word faggot really means a bundle of sticks used for kindling in a fire, he says. It's like 20 percent of the thing. Those are a little more tasteful. We have it now. We should make it a little smaller at least.

In what might very well be the last episode before we're pulled off the air, Tamler outlines his data-free "theory" of what makes something offensive. What makes a joke about race, ethnicity, gender, disability funny sometimes, and deeply hurtful at other times? What makes Louis CK so goddamn funny and Andrew Dice Clay just...an asshole? Is Family Guy racist? Throughout the episode, David defends the victims of hatred and is a voice of empathy and reason, while Tamler drops the c-word multiple times, jumps to racist conclusions, and makes fun of David's partial Arab heritage.
