Episode 30 - All About The Funny

It’s Monday, the start of a new work week, and time for another Dudes From Dallas episode. 

Monday’s watercooler talk focuses on the funny, or lack thereof on college campuses around the country. 

VICE News on HBO ran a segment about the growing number of comedians who will not play college campuses because students, or professional student employees can’t take a joke. 

“The kids that I’m programming for are not cis-het dudes. And we intentionally program towards that,” Kat Michael, the program booker for Simmons College said. Michael went on to explain that certain jokes about transgenderism and sexual assault could lead to a performer’s microphone being turned off. Additionally, it could lead to the comedian not being paid for their performance.

The Dudes break down the VICE News piece and offer their take on what comedy is and what it should be.  To help illustrate their point, the Dudes rely on the comedy musings of George Carlin and the talentless hack Amy Schumer.  It becomes #SettledLaw that our generation wins.
