Anthony Jeselnik shark attack sketch draws outrage

I’d agree with you IF this was the only type of bit he ever did, but most of the times when Jeselnik tells a joke, it’s pure set-up, punchline.

You have way to much time for internet comments

You should try getting eaten by a shark, somebody will make you famous in a hilarious sketch

I’m not against freedom of speech, but when some fuckwit crosses the line I take the freedom to tell them. Anything wrong with that?Should only the insensitive arseholes enjoy freedom of speech. So you want it all your own way?

As for the racism issue, why should that be off-limits? It’s no worse than what Jezlshit did.

Comedians seem to want special status, and they whine when we don’t want to give it to them. No one should contradict a comedian, especially an American comedian. American comedians, in fact Americans in general, see themselves as important contributors to the development of civilisation, but to do that you have to get your ideas right and your comedy right. This is beyond them – they are taking us backward into the cesspit.

Of course, another problem with Jellydik is he’s American and Americans know very little about other countries. This debate has shown this to be true, so it is really all about American ignorance, arrogance, and insensitivity. Some people are pretending that there is an environmental message here which is simply stupid for reasons explained in several comments above.

Of course, American moronism has its spineless toady supporters all over the world, but the are getting fewer by the minute.

Addresssing points in reverse order.
#3: He clearly does.
#2: He didn’t threaten Jeselnik – you simply cannot read.
#1: How do you quantify the cultural change in America versus – say – the cultural change in Hercegovina? By your logic America should have 400 times the diversity (20^2). So – can you prove that America has 400 times the diversity of Hercegovina, lol?

I’ve had quite a few opportunities to travel to your trash heap country, but there are just too many Americans there for my taste. This debate has come about because people don’t strive to be like you. You must realise this, or else why object to our comments?

Everywhere else has more culture and the only thing you can do to change that is nuke us all, which will probably happen eventually.

You say: – ‘We did not ask for our entertainment and culture to be in the spotlight worldwide.’ Actually, you do. You American narcissists go to great lengths to promote your crass garbage all over the world. In fact, an American that doesn’t want to be the centre of attention and want his or her childish and mindless values to be accepted without question, is a rarity.
Americans subconsciously pitch their voices to carry, to penetrate, to every corner of their environments. At our airports, you can track to the Americans at several hundreds of yards. You are loud and obnoxious and opinionated and ignorant. You think we need to hear your shit, you think we should be grateful to hear your self-obsessed drivel on every conceivable topic. You are, in your own opinions, liberating us and educating us by being obnoxious. ‘Look how free we are!’

Yes, everyone has the freedom to be radically obnoxious, but why, why do you Americans grasp every opportunity with both hands? The answer is simple: it’s because you know you have lost all culture and are trying desperately to fill the void with noise and shit so you don’t have to her how inferior you are.

There is thing called American Exceptionalism, the believe that America is better than other countries and therefore Americans have the right to dictate EVERYTHING to every other person on the globe, and I have never met an American that doesn’t take this attitude. How often do we have to take your poison?

If you don’t want people to see you in this light, then why do you always stick together in maintaining your superior self-image? The stereotypes come from your behaviour.

American Exceptionalism is something that is very close to Nazism and is taking the world in a similar direction.

But Americans want to control the whole fucking debate, want to determine what is offensive and what is not, and you childishly whine about freedom of speech when another group points out that what you do is offensive shit. Only scum behave like that. When will you dumb cunts grow up.

TEAM AMERICA!! F*** YEAH!! The greatest country on earth and you know it, thats you are glued to your black and white 19″ tv watching OUR shows! Now go back to sewing nikes you jealous third world twat : )

I guess you’re jealous of our higher life-expectancy (that’s charitably assuming you’d know anything about another country).

Good to hear you’re not jealous of our slice of Paradise down here, Ben – last thing we need is an influx of Yanks all moving down here and spoiling it. James Cameron’s alright out here on his farm working on Avatar 2 & 3, (- he’s Canadian tho isn’t he..? whatever..) not too far from Peter Jackson’s house – (BTW – America’s nicknamed ‘The New World’ huh? – New Zealand is the newest country on Earth – only settled 150 years ago! – It’s frickin’ amazing! – Still got that new smell…It glistens with beauty…)

Anyway, back on topic – Jeselnik’s little fake ‘joke’ WAS disgusting. Really mean & not actually very funny – and he needs to apologise – does he have a limit?

To illustrate the sordid pond of thinking the guy swims in, take a look at this comment from one of his fans on another website similar to this one (website is: http://splitsider.com/2013/03/anthony-jeselnik-draws-criticism-for-mocking-a-shark-attack-victim-on-tv/ )
And comment excerpt reads as follows…:

“…YOU NEVER APOLOGIZE. Anthony if you are reading this, NEVER BACK DOWN AND NEVER APOLOGIZE. Do some more offensive tweets to the family of the dead guy.”

A lot of the other comments over there @ splitsider follow these sorts of lines.

What do you think of that, Ben..?
‘ Do some more offensive tweets to the family of the dead guy ‘….

That’s what we’re dealing with here with Anthony Jeselnik’s fanbase.

That is FUCKED UP THINKING , no matter what country you come from…

Of course there’s heaps of more important stuff – but this page is for the Shark Party skit debacle. And I agree, it has been pretty much thrashed to bits.
I never thought there’d be an apology coming from the mouth of Anthony Jeselnik. It still should be stressed that he owes one though to Adam’s wife & daughter at least. Also, Adam Strange should get an assist – for Jeselnik using him for his macabre punchline – without even asking. But Adam’s gone now, so…

At least Jeselnik’s bosses came through with some humanity.

It’s clearly not in Jeselnik’s makeup to render an apology for his trespass and disrespect over this. Which is quite sad. At least not right now anyway. He’s young, full of running and convinced he’s the Greatest Person in the world – or something. But give him a few years. If his career’s got 2 or 3 decades in it – he may one day be asked in a magazine interview about his ‘Shark Party’ bit all those years ago. And whether, all things considered, he acted poorly toward the late Adam Strange and his grieving family. And that perhaps he went somewhere he had no right to go. He’ll no doubt have a private thought about this when he’s at a funeral himself sometime in the future…
Perhaps it won’t be to a magazine, maybe it’ll be to his wife or closest confidante.
But it’s my belief he’ll admit someday down the line to such questions that, yes, he was a bit out of order in that performance with respect to the deceased and family left behind. That given the flimsy shark-deaths-from-humans subtext next to the wild vilification of Adam Strange specifically – his behaviour got more undeserved tasteless insult than funny…

I’d say you got your qualifications from a cereal packet. If you want to debate this event check your facts. There is no environmental message in Jellydick’s skit and none in your drivel. You are supporting a talentless arsehole and deserve every bit of shit you get.
