Episode notes

I think that this just reduces the man like a that what you were saying before was no we're celebrating the guy aren't we. You know weirdly everybody kind of seems to think that you're funny it's a it's a deep Jewish tradition well and I've been working on my act in the Catskills so yeah he wrote.

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.
