Damon Wayans on Cosby, audience sensitivity, legacy

“O, Utopia. Why must your sweet governance always turn so quickly from the Edenic to the Stalinist?”

From the Power 105 Breakfast Club radio show – In a freewheeling conversation, Damon Wayans reflects on his famous family, classic comedy sketches that would face PC opposition today, SNL discomfort, In Living Color, Kevin Hart, harnessing talent, and more.

A little news popped when Wayans said Bill Cosby is being taken down by a “money hustle” and that some of his accusers are “unrapeable.”

Wayans took heat for using the word unrapeable and referring to some of them as bitches. He refused to budge.

No way any of this comedy would fly on today’s thought-policed college campuses. The Atlantic examines humorists with mouths full of blood sidestepping their comedic instincts so as not to trample upon the “values of the herd.”

BODY SHAMING COULD EARN A PROFESSIONAL DEATH PENALTY

No jokes about looks, to be sure. Self-love is a byproduct of the everybody gets a ribbon culture.

In today’s sanitized comedy universe, there is no tolerance for truthful observation comedy beyond self-loathing or vilifying Republicans (always a safe go-to winner).

A good rule of thumb is that Melissa McCarthy is a comedy genius, Chris Christie is a fat pig, and those observations should never be reversed.

Sewer mouth comedian Nicole Arbour tried to go ballistic on overweight people but YouTube shut down her account (then reinstated it) for caustic “fat shaming” comments. NSFW
