Episode notes

I've always actually been uncomfortable with using the word pussy or cunt as an insult. I don't get why that has such an effect on some people it's Americans because this isn't a thing in other countries, he says. It's just one of those things that you have to say if you're gonna use these words like Louis C K is making and other comic whose name I forget the gay one is making. You know what you're saying and know like who who the audience is and how it might have an effect on the people who are saying right?

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.
