Episode notes

"This is playing off this sort of buffoonish stereotype of black people like the crazy black neighbor that and the very very minsterly," he says. "If you are if you're offended by it then you're the fucking racist there because none of us were laughing at this oh that's a funny black guy talking in that slang" He adds, "I think that sometimes people have that's a great example right that just wasn't defensive it was it was completely disagree."

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.
