Topic	Former SNL writer pulled from stage because his jokes were deemed too offensive
Jagr_68 12/06/18 9:38:03 AM #43:	voldothegr8 posted... Adam Warren, CC 22, was in the audience Saturday night. Warren said that AAA made the right decision to remove Patel from the stage due to the nature of his jokes, which contradicted the sensitive nature of the event itself. The message they were trying to send with the event was opposite to the jokes he was making, and using peoples ethnicity as the crux of his jokes could be funny but still offensive...He definitely wasnt the most crass comedian Ive ever heard but for the event it was inappropriate, Warren said. However, audience member Elle Ferguson, BC 22, said that while comedians can push the boundaries of social culture, she had heard similar jokes before and did not find them offensive. While what some of the things that he said might have been a bit provoking to some of the audience, as someone who watches comedy a lot, none of them were jokes that I hadnt heard before and none of them were jokes that elicited such a response in my experience, Ferguson said. [AAA] should have talked to him beforehand especially because comedy is known for being ground-breaking and for pushing boundaries. Fair, next. And let's not assume these people are lying about being accustomed to standup material on these topics either. He was bombing, they mercifully pulled him, end of story. --- New York Rangers [2004-2008] https://imgur.com/BLrKxEd https://card.psnprofiles.com/2/Jaromiroquai68.png <cite>Jagr_68 posted [p:913636418] in Former SNL...
