Discovered this fellow in the comments over at the Sage of Knoxville's place. Mostly not vulgar and there's no profanity, but it may be hazardous if there are left-wing passersby. In my work environment, it would be NSFW.
I used to find most anti-feminist humor to be all hostility and no punchline, but this guy's material is funny, though his timing is a bit clunky. If he got more comfortable on stage he could be dynamite.
Really it’s a problem with several kinds of humor. Anti-religious humor is equally bitter and offensive, but religious jokes by people who love religion and value it are often some of the best.
I get the sense this is an older routine, but it's got some good moments.

ReplyDeleteGood points, Tex. There is a bitter kind of anti-feminism out there, but I don't really see that with De Santo.

ReplyDeleteThat Emo Phillips routine that ends with "Die, Heretic!" is pure gold.
