re: #17 Mattand

Possibly a hot take, but I think if Carlin were still around, he’d be Team Comedians Should Never Be Criticized Because They’re Beatific Sages Preaching the TRUTH.

my point in #19 is carlin preached with humor.
he’d call out the very audiences he was performing in front of.
and they constantly laughed right back at him

a minute of serious juxtaposed with a minute of hilarity and on and on

you don’t pay to sit in carnegie hall to watch a comedian rant from the stage and not make you laugh.
you stand at the subway entrance outside…
