20230708:
I noticed this special was leaving on the on the 13th and so I decided to watch it. I previously watched Tom Segura: Completely Normal and the style here was different. While Hughley still had themes in his jokes, the special felt more like a series of one-liners. For the most part, the content would likely be more agreeable, because most racial jokes told were about the same race as the comedian (i.e., it is generally acceptable for a person to make fun of his/her own identities in any regard* whereas jokes about identies outside of one's own identities depend much more on context).
*Though I can see people argue that this class of jokes has a tendency to perpetuate stereotypes (e.g., if an Asian comedian makes a joke about being a bad driver). However, there are anti-stereotype jokes which would fall out of the aforementioned scope (e.g., if an Asian comedian makes a joke that illustrates not all Asian are good at math).
Instant Comments:
1a: Huh. Hughley jokes that it didn't sound like it was Leonardo DiCaprio's first time saying the N word in Django Unchained.
1b: Resumed at the 22 minute mark.
1b: "These states are like tonsils"
1b: Wow. The punchline was good. Hahaha. "Can I borrow your charger, man?"
1b: Oh wow, 2013... It's been a decade that Pope Benedict resigned and Pope Francis has been the new pope...
1b: Smile. "How the fuck did the pope quit? I thought Catholics were against pulling out."; funny but I'm not sure if it's true as natural family planning appears to be allowed, so I'm not sure if they'd be against pulling out
1b: "What are you doing here with that camouflage on?" (imitates some shots fired: boof boof boof) haha
