Remember that bit I posted a few weeks ago? The gun control one? That bit has really exposed Jefferies to a very liberal audience. Many people who saw that and that alone bought tickets to his Freedumb tour around the world. There ended up being people protesting his show saying he supports and encourages rape.

Those that know his comedy, know there's a lot of shock humor, and extremely offensive material delivered in a way that you can't help but laugh at. his delivery makes it clear, they're just jokes.

The amount of times I've heard "rape jokes are never funny" is ridiculous. And to many comics, being told they can't only reaffirms the fact that they will.

In his new special on Netflix, Jefferies opens up with "Bill Cosby" and launches off into 10 minutes of rape jokes.

People shouldn't have been surprised, considering the last article was written in 2009.

[Comedy festival] Fringe 2009 also welcomes back Aussie standup Jim Jeffries, whose jokes include: “Women to me are like public toilets. They’re all dirty except for the disabled ones.” Jeffries tells me: “You can’t do a joke these days about black or Asian people – and rightly so – [but] you can do rape jokes on stage and that’s not a problem.” Why does he think rape is now less of a taboo than racism? “I don’t write the rules,” he says. Nor, it seems, does he seek to challenge them. [San Francisco comedian Scott] Capurro told me, with some distaste: “For a lot of comics, it’s OK to talk about raping women now. That’s the new black on the comedy circuit.”

The consensus with a lot of his detractors are that he's encouraging rape, and saying rape isn't that bad. Which.. Is absolutely retarded, but what bothers me most. Is that people are almost in agreement of "well... I found that other part that may have offended someone else hilarious, but the thing that offended me is sacred and shan't be joked about."

Which is a hypocrisy that needs to be confronted as such.



Here's the special so you can see the jokes for yourself, if you only want to see the rape jokes just watch the first ten minutes.
 
Haha. Not many can pass the gauntlet of PC requirements needed to satisfy a liberal.
 
Those were some really good rape jokes.
 
Yeah, the SJW's got all pissed off at Tosh, too.

Tell them to fuck off. If even comics aren't permitted to be offensive, then what's the fucking point of free speech?

Well he's pretty liberal himself, as are most comedians.


I really want to see this. There's actually a clip in the trailer of Jefferies getting attacked on stage.

 
@8:02 "You know who never had someone protesting gigs because of their material? Bill Cosby. You gotta give it to Bill. What a dignified man. He never said the swearwords, he never lowered himself to my level. What a class act he is."

:D:D
 
The difference between Tosh/Patrice O'Neal, and this hack.. is that they were talented and their rape jokes were actually funny.

"You can't tell rape jokes.. I just did and I think we can all agree I killed it."

They're trying to be fucking comics now too. Then they blame the patriarchy for why they don't get any laughs lol.

I've had some angry female comic think I was going to agree with her when she used me as an example. She said people laughed at my jokes about suicide, and soldiers jumping on grenades just so they never have to come back to Oklahoma just because I'm a man saying it.

Her set was all gross out humor, bitching about men, and talking about her imaginary huge dick. It was terrible, and she's hot so no one is going to tell her to work on her material.

I wanted to point out that he ONLY gets shows because she's a woman, as with a lot of woman comics. They say it's sexist that a lot of people don't like female stand up comics but there is a major issue with just trying to copy the style of successful female comics when that doesn't work for anyone but Leary. (Heyo)


How is this, cringey or somewhat funny?
"A female comic said that.. Even though she's a comedian she would never tell rape jokes.. That's a shame.. Because then she might finally get a laugh"
 
I used to love Jim on opie and Anthony. One show he was completely trashed and was hitting on some red head nude model and she really hated him. It was utterly hysterical.

That Patrice thing on fox is also pretty funny. They never invited patricenback on fox after that show and he used to go on hannitys show. One of the few guests where hannitys watched what he said.

You're just butthurt about his fun control bit like you were in the other thread.

Jefferies is not a hack dingus. And the rape jokes in Freedumb were hilarious.

If you don't think Jim is talented I highly reccomend getting on stage, just sign up for an open mic night sometime lol.
 
People meaning a few thousand globally, so basically nobody.
 
They're only funny if they are about butt rape.

Butt rape jokes ftw

The best line for me was, "So I'm of the opinion, after you rape 20, same prison time. Keep raping I say!".
 
Jim has this one rape joke that is great because most rape jokes arent even actually about the rape. It's the one where he meets an actress and theyre driving in the car and it gets all awkward.

"And so I raped her, because how else is she gonna learn?"
 
TY.. one of my favorite crass comics...
