My brother was the respiratory therapist and durable medical equipment provider for Don Imus before he died. He said that Don and his wife were always arguing with each other.

worshipped her and their kid, and his co-hosts all sucked up by doing the same. Protesting too much...

And adding a vile misogynist “joke”. This should reel in Latino and women voters!

they did. A mere 24 hours earlier.

If nothing else, these jackwads are predictable.

And thanks!

Enjoy it under the bus, Laughy Mcfuckface.

is Mr. Hinchcliffe, you aren’t funny. Throwing insults is something, but it isn’t funny.

If somehow we could get more wing nuts to actually have a functioning sense of humor, this world would be a much happier place.

What about the modern gop kills its members funny bones, I seriously do wonder.

They're Constantly, Constantly, Constantly told to be angry.

something just strikes me as hysterically funny and I burst out laughing.

It seems like wing nuts are like self blinkered horses. They are so frightened they have stopped looking around to try and calm themselves. I really don’t know, though.

Can’t, so it flips. You’re very normal…they aren’t

And was doing stand up using N this and N that.

That was the goddamn end of that guy. I wish the same for this bastard.

yup

What context would be okay?

You just pushed Kamala Harris and Tim Walz a little closer to the finish line.

You're still an arrogant, stinking racist *uckwad, though.

So full of class and dignity.

... "get" the joke. I saw his performance. I "got" the watermelon joke, although it is dated, racist, and not funny. I "get" most ethnic humor... Don Rickles, Richard Pryor... but I don't "get" the Puerto Rico joke.

... that only a racist would find funny, BECAUSE it was just a crude insult.

Plus his delivery and timing is for shit - he's a smug little prick who's thrilled to finally be the bully.

Even professional comics screw up once in a while and shart a bomb that reverberates beyond their regular audience.

Not on this one, though. You knew fuckin' well what you were saying and doing.

STFU and deal with it.

It's the Republicans who have no sense of humor. Republicans CHOSE him for their rally, because they mistook the guy's racist tirades for HUMOR!

We need to see them asap!

just sounds like an angry, defensive, name calling, insult to me. Another thing these maga cult followers never do, is take ownership if they mess up, and they don’t ever apologize. They just keep on digging and digging that hole. They’re never wrong and it’s always someone else’s fault.

He probably should increase his security budget instead of writing new material.

...you have a GREAT sense of humor. Everyone laughs. At your repulsive magat ignorance. Oh, and more tampon references. Women really appreciate the misogyny. What a pos.

The NYT excerpted some of that - https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/28/us/politics/trump-msg-rally-speaker-remarks.html

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath, you fucking coward.

But I'd guess mr insults hides and sneaks around.

I'm 100% sure of that.

He is a -1 on a scale of 1-10 of being funny.

Unless he should be dared to travel to Puerto Rico. He definitely won’t go there for getting his ass kicked!

This punk has no idea what humor even is.

Be careful what you wish for.

Nobody had to "take time" to "analyze" your "joke," tony trashbag.

Nobody had to "take it out of context" to "make it seem" racist. It was garbage and so are you.

Time to take out the trash!

This is great.. I think there is no better display of today's Conservative Values that the fact they say racist one liners are just 'funny jokes'...

I am a man and I do have a sense of humor. The problem isn't a lack of humor, the problem is that he's an alleged comedian who doesn't know how to read a room. A good comedian would have clocked the tepid response to the Puerto Rico jab and pivoted to talking about how old Joe Biden is. You had a room that wanted to hear the oldies and then maybe dip a bit blue with Hunter's cock. You save your best incel and racial material for podcasting with Elon Musk or Joe Rogan who are the correct audience for that.

Hinchcliffe asking the world to change their metaphorical tampon (surely he doesn't mean just women) means "something's wrong with you; it's not my fault you don't find me funny." If I change my metaphorical tampon I'll feel better and giggle and think that joke was funny Nope. Madison Square Garden, allegedly near-capacity with Republicans and rightwing MAGA in your favor didn't laugh.

He worked on that island of garbage joke opener. It's a level one "bait and switch" joke format that would be funny if you filled in the mad-lib cleverly. The joke was just wrong, and he said it: Puerto Rico is awesome, but racism is not. He was very proud of that. Good comedians know you don't punch down - not as the first joke. And you don't laugh in frustration at your own joke if you truly believe you were funny. What a chance of a lifetime he had at Madison Square Garden at an official event and walks out making jokes like he's on a podcast with Joe Rogan and Elon Musk. A good comedian would have been better at reading the room and could have recovered.

Unless Hinchcliffe thought he was the warmup comedian and he wouldn't be broadcast. Still no excuse for sucking at your art.

Perhaps "comedian" tony should change his diaper. The smell is getting stronger.

by a magat....

Here he was representing and warming up the crowd for a person he wanted to be the President of the United States. That I think would have most people, most comedians, anyone who had gotten anywhere, thinking carefully about putting their best foot forward.

He was using his best material and this was what he came up with. Wow. The crew that filtered this and put it on the teleprompter thought this was great material and worthy of a presidents intro. They all figured that kicking down with racist tones was a great warm up and a great idea. They all chuckled over this.

Even after the response, after he kicked down and basically said that large groups were trash, he is now upset that we did not get the joke. We got the joke. We entirely got the joke. The problem here is that not only did he think this was "A" material, but he still thinks it is "A" material. His target audience agreed with him and this makes all of them look really bad.

It is sad when a good artist shows problems. It puts us all in a position where we debate between the worth of the art and the monstrosity of the artists crime. A lot of us have issues with Cosby, Jackson and the guy who played Kramer. There are others on the list. In this case though, Tony never produced anything that any of us will regret the damage done to art. It is pathetic that he managed to get his five minutes and toss it away in this manner.

He did not make fun of everyone, like he said he did, he left white racist angry idiots off the list of people he wanted to insult. He did not make fun of White Supremacists, Nazis or Fascists.

or insulting to people who aren't like himself.

"punch down." You have a chance at being funny when you target the powerful.

for my shit list.

but I'm probably insulting 8th grade boys comparing MAGAts to them.

It was beyond cringe. It was pathetic.

Maybe it's dementia.

That would be a much easier explanation. She's been a right wing nutter for a couple decades. She's a retired professor - albeit at a religious college but still she managed to get a PhD.

The things she says just boggles the mind.

I feel for her family who are largely liberal and sensible. They have to put up with her.

The short clips and characterization don't capture how truly awful it was. Full context is the following thread (transcript of bits with timecodes provided as a public service to those who can't stomach watching this disgusting man).

He's like a playground bully calling names and laughing his ass off at himself.

Straight up racist name calling and tropes aren't funny. And like other right-wingnuts, he completely clueless about satire. Remember FOX's failed attempt at a far right Daily Show? An article discussing that failure pointed out that satire

he is a fucking nazi

What a sleeze...

really help things in that department.

He was married, but divorced a long time ago, and is currently single. Seems his "wife" at the time, couldn't take his BS much either.

Tony Hinchcliffe was married to Charlotte Jane; he is currently single

Tony kept referring to Jane as his wife throughout 2018. The pair rarely posted about each other on social media. The world learned about the pair’s separation after Jane deleted all evidence of her relationship with Tony from her Instagram page, replacing it with images of her new lover.



Ouch, that's gotta hurt.

What a garbage human being.

Let's bury them with blue votes, then ignore them.

Understand that there are demographics who are part of or could be part of, the Democratic Party coalition, who have completely tuned out from politics. One of those groups who have been courted by both parties, have generally been part of those who tuned it out...

But NOT anymore.

And if this can bring us their votes, just like the racism and bigotry that 45's campaign has engaged in and spewed in order to bring out HIS racists and bigots to vote, then we need to do this and keep harping on it.

The BLUE VOTES need to come from EVERYWHERE and it sometimes take some drastic stuff to get through to those who tune out.

...maybe it's because you're not fucking funny.

Though i think he's got a RW fanbase who w support him.
