Episode notes

"You need some threshold of people who might potentially be offended for me to start using the term offensive right so I'm sure there are numbers game kind of right," he says. "I would actually feel bad if someone came up to me and said you know what man I know you didn't mean this or maybe you did right but my dad is a Bulgarian in Maine and he has no legs okay no but she cares."

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.
