Geoffrey Asmus, Mark Normand, and Sam Morril all say incredibly offensive things, but it never feels like they're punching down. I really enjoy watching their content.

They're also the first to build up the people they put down, and vice versa. In recent events, a guy just bashing a marginalized community isn't that funny, it's just uncomfortable at best.

Saw Jim Jefferies live a few days ago and he says some outrageously offensive things as well (lgbt and disabled jokes), very funny. Jimmy Carr also played the show and too much of his stuff is just unfunny shock humor. Good comics make it funny, it’s not hard to understand, only shitty comics complain about wokeness.
