1. I thought this was brilliant and spent an hour
searching out his other bits on Youtube. He's semi-partial to calling people tw**s or cu**s, but otherwise isn't is too terribly unelightened. You know, except about the bits where he's apparently representing as pro-female genitalia, then apt to offer them up as slurs. Otherwise, though--big hand! Not as unself-consciously a git as Ricky Gervaise, who is also apt to refer to other people as feminine genitalia. In a derogatory way--but also--terrible bargain everybody! Some of my favorite comedians sometimes sort of think my or *your* if you're also female; desireable bits are also how one would be a really awful person, y'know. If you were just like one. Which I take to mean dumb and needy, greedy and sort of nasty. And whilst I acknowledge my girl bits might be some of the above, some of the time, I kind of feel weird when I hear others say it aloud like it's an acceptable thing. So, love the stand-up. A little put-off when the punchline is someone is a cu**. Especially after the point was that the culture being described was inherently, even endemically, misogynistic. Otherwise he seems a pretty sharp ally. The actual cu**s of people I know are not as stupid as quite a lot of sports culture, actually. I think there was supposed to be irony, there, or something. Perhaps. Just voicing a little concern.
