Bad Comedians

Bad comedians , are comedians that use racist jokes or sterotypes of people to make their audience laugh. They think that these jokes are funny and so can be seen as racist even if they are not. These types of jokes do not usualy make the audience laugh but rather cringe unless they have a bad sense of humour or are racist themselves. However there are those people who believe that jokes do not contain an expression of an opinon and so is unlike racism or sexism. As there are also comedians who use sexist jokes to make their audience laugh and again as with racism a lot of people do take offence at these types of jokes some of which can lead to court cases. These types of racist or sexist jokes can be seen as cheap and nasty rather than funny e.g. some jokes can be made about 'fat' people these jokes can cause upset in those who are'fat', these jokes are then turned into hurtfull comments to the indivdual rather than humour.

Here is a link about people who find these types of bad comedians 'cheap':
