Like buttholes

Everyone has am opinion
If we didn't laugh at these atrocities
We'd all be crying 😢

I don't think it's bullying
I think it's political commentary and expect to be amused or outraged.

Keep pushing those boundaries my man ✊🏾. We wouldn't have it any other way!

If folk want safe, inoffensive comedy that they can watch with their grandparents then there's always the likes of Michael McIntyre.

I wouldn’t worry about it Reg, a ‘review’ in the Telegraph is about as much use as a review on day care centres in Khan Younis by Benjamin Netanyahu, not worth a wank.

Y'all, y'all know this is a Black man from the South? And a comedian, someone who does comedy, that's the baseline. What fricking games you tryna play eejits? Go bomb some more children to calm your nerves

I love that this is meant to be a refutation. "He's not antisemitic, he's a black southern american! Israel's greatest soldiers!

American comedian Reginald D Hunter

{Who?}

has been cancelled from an upcoming September show at the Eastwood Theatre in the Giffnock suburb of Glasgow

Ol giffnock. Wish I could land a gig in giffnock. My phone doesn't even try to capitalize that. It's not even proper noun.

following an antisemitism controversy during his run at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Which type of antisemitism because of its the Palestine variety then he should in the clear

During his 'Fluffy Fluffy Beavers' show on Sunday 11 August at the Assembly George Square Studios, Hunter spoke about a documentary of a man enduring an abusive relationship only for his wife to falsely claim she was the one being abused.

"When I saw that, I thought, my God, it's like being married to Israel."

That's pretty funny

Reportedly, after this an Israeli couple complained that the joke wasn't funny, resulting in an interaction between the crowd, Hunter and the couple that resulted in them leaving the show.

So some Israelites tried their shekel at a heckle and it went poorly.

Well now he's probably very very prosemetic I'm sure.
