Will Smith has now made it OK for anyone to jump up on stage and attack a comedian for telling a joke they don't like.

Good, tho. I want more comedians thinking "is someone gonna walk up here and slap my soul out of me?" before making a shitty punch-down joke.

You do realize this behavior plays right into the hands of edgy "PC culture" haters? This won't stop anyone from making punch-down jokes, but it will give people more ammo for "see you can't even make a joke anymore without being punched onstage." Comedians will start getting bodyguards for show and joking about the fact that they "need them."

The commenter above me is right, this will not stop these comedians from making punch-down jokes. And this might actually make things worse.

But I still must say, it is a big funny that so many comedians, especially comedians that pride themselves on being “not afraid to tell jokes that make people uncomfortable” and “fearless and willing to tell it like it is without caring about what happens” are so clearly scared shitless of being next. Pretty much all of them are speaking out about this, and condemning Smith for it. Some, like Judd Apatow I can buy as legitimately thinking Smith crossed a line(which he did), without having an ulterior motive for speaking out. I don’t know him well enough to know for sure though. But others definitely make it seem like they’re really afraid of actually having consequences for some of their bad taste jokes for once, consequences that are more than just a hashtag campaign that does no real damage. The consequences being violence is obviously an overreaction that shouldn’t happen(especially on live TV), but it’s still funny how transparently scared these supposedly “brave” comedians are. And even Kathy Griffin had something to say, and it’s like , really?

And then their are the idiots who are claiming this incident was “an attack on free speech”. For the last time, that’s not what free speech means, you morons. Unless they actually think Will Smith is the government. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences, no matter how unwarranted and over the top those consequences may be.

No. People shouldn't have to fear being physically assaulted for doing their job.

Are some jokes absolutely shitty, and/or told with shitty timing? Yes! And comedians should be able to tell them even if it pisses off the world.

Likewise, people are free to tell comedians that they found their joke shitty. And they're also free to listen to someone they deem less offensive.

I don't believe comedy should be censored. If you don't like someone's comedy, you can say your piece, and then move on with your life.
