Apparently I'm a lib in my part of the US because I don't think Donald Trump is the second coming and do the laundry and dishes in the house. Welcome to the "Lib Club". We have the best cookies. However, the jokes you shared from the book actually really sucked.
There is a character called Old Gregg from the TV show The Mighty Boosh. The character is a merman with a fixation on his "blinding mangina." I laughed at that character more than I laughed at the presented jokes.
My issue is the jokes aren’t funny. Idc who they target, they need to be funny. It’s like “why did the black guy tryout for the NBA? Because he could jump real high.” It’s just not funny.
They needed to try and be a bit more brutal and mean tbh. Some of them have potential if only they didn't hold back on being super mean and aggressive with it. I think it's important to be able to laugh at myself so it doesn't bother me if they made more mean spirited or aggressive jokes about dudes. Unfortunately, yeah they were kinda too tame and lame tbh which made them less funny.
@@TheSundayShooterbut what privilege? The joke were dry it like saying “white people can go space and I can’t even across the street as POC”. At least that one had a point, but the we can’t do anything yet these people are all free do anything they want mindset.
The fatal flaw with these jokes is they're just spiteful opinions that use the "humor" label for deniabity. A lot of webcomics are also like this. The author clearly isn't having fun; they're seething and accusatory. It taints the mood, and the reader can instinctively feel it, even if they're not part of the accused group.
I remember in the Barbie movie the "I'm a man without power, does that make me a woman?" And is assumable that joke alone is funnier than that entire book
They say comedy is subjective but I can't see who would find that book funny. I found a free version online and a few female friends read it and they didn't even laugh, giggle or chuckle once.
Maybe they were trying to make jokes so innocuous and lacking provocation and prove a point that even these could offend people. Especially, I suppose, ones who would call people "snowflakes".
When it comes to taking jokes, be like ex-soccer player Francesco Totti. He had a LOT of jokes made about him being stupid, so he gathered them all and published them in a book that made him a ton of money.
@@princesslulu5795This joke book is probably more offensive to women than it is to men given how terrible it's jokes are. Like, I honestly think almost any random woman could've written better jokes than the ones in this book. This book should be listed as a scam for how bad it is lol.
See, I chuckled at that joke about "2 pumps and they're done." It's not a matter of "offensive jokes aren't funny." It's a matter of "offensive jokes aren't _inherently funny just because they're offensive."_
I came up with a few more for the 2nd edition: Q: how can you tell that there’s soup in the pantry? A: the husband has been standing there for 5 minutes shouting “why is there no soup in the pantry” Q: after getting lost, how long will it take for a man to ask for directions? A: no one knows, it’s never happened before Q: how can you tell that your trip is going take 15 minutes longer than expected? A: your man says “just ignore the phone I know a shorter way” Q: why did the man injure his back? A: you would injure your back too if you tried to take 5 loads worth of groceries in a single trip Q: why did the man not remember what his wife told him? A: because she only told him twice The difference is here these are jokes that both men and women can laugh at… just observational humor about the ways men do dumb things. But I understand that’s not what the original book was going for
Love these! I'm a woman, the jokes in this book aren't funny. Yours were, because they weren't trying to be edgelord. I have one flipped around: Why did the husband settle in for another rewatch of Die Hard right before his big romantic anniversary dinner? His wife called down she would be ready in 10 minutes.
I’m a man and that first joke made me laugh out loud. I’m sure my girlfriend would laugh too considering I’ve done stuff like that in front of her before.
Yes, there are shitty misogynistic male owners and bosses out there (I've worked for like a dozen of them) but I also spent 15 years working for a woman who unilaterally owned something like 40 restaurants and she wasn't any better than any of the men. She paid her male managers more, gave them more power and authority and promoted almost exclusively men. Single women? Not a single one in her management staff; she preferred to hire married couples. In one market she hired a woman as the GM, then a few months later, hired her husband as Assistant manager, then promptly promoted the (less qualified) husband to area coach (and boss of his wife). So yes, let's absolutely not make excuses for the men, but we also need to recognize that far too often women hold each other back too.
@@ADoseofBuckley Loved him since I first saw him on tv as a kid, still never get bored of his stand-up specials, even though i’ve seen them all several times 😂
This might be the most bitter collection of writing ever put into a book... The book is trying to make a statement against men, but it says a lot more about its authors than anyone else.
I got a book called “Cocktails for drinkers”a couple of years ago that say you can make a cocktail with 3 ingredients or less. One of them was for white wine. Recipe called for “ 1 bottle of white wine” then said “Open the wine and let it breeze. Just kidding. Poured in a large glass immediately and drink it up like a suburban housewife.” Next page was red wine that simply said “you know what to do” This was written by Jennifer McCartney. She’s already funnier to me than the ladies that wrote this videos book.
Ironically, most of the evidence suggests it's the other way around. If you look up research done by the social scientist Cory Clark, because I'm definitely bringing up a woman's name if I'm saying this, she finds that frequently people are biased in woman's favor in domans such as job hunting or general trustworthiness. The few times it's not, gain attention precisely because we care more about women's well-being than men's. Though, as I like to point out, "easier" does not mean "better." The grass is always greener, and where as I might say, I want to be preferred two to one in a tech related job I have to admit the higher levels of emotional stability are pretty nice a lot of the time.
The sad thing is the republican light joke could be funny, heres a two part bit. How many republican senators does it take to change a light bulb? None, they expect the democrats to do it. How many democratic senators does it take to change a light bulb? None, they blame the Republicans for not doing it.
This is giving me the same energy as the “orange man bad” jokes. Like yeah we know. Are you gonna tell an actual joke about it or…? The statement is not a joke.
The “ man walks into a bar, it’s pretty low” set up is actually really good. If a woman were to maybe follow it up with something like. “ it’s so low he can just step over it, and I keep trying to tell him, but he’s not understanding my signals. Kind of pokes fun at everybody, but it’s still pretty tame.
I'm a very open minded and progressive guy, but these jokes come across as pathetically passive aggressive. The tree joke was pretty good. Feminism is a beautiful thing, but when it's coupled with pure hypocrisy, stupidity, reckless emotion, and is illogical then that's when the movement loses people.
The menstruation joke would have been funnier if they replaced it with period. But that's just me man-splaning, i guess. They jokes Buckley had were funny. The two pumps one was gold. Ill have to use that one at work
Feminists almost make it hard to take womens issues seriously. I really don't care if a woman is in charge. If she's good at her job then she deserves it. You see this will offend a certain group because another man said that same thing and it was deemed sexist. Men actually DO earn their positions. Lots of women do too. Sexism on both sides is still sexism.
Alot of those feel like passive aggressive jabs to their significant other, like I half expected a setup to go "What do you call a man who refuses to put up the bread and leave the toaster on its highest setting despite the fact his wife constantly tells him that she likes his toast soft and hates stale bread GREG"
Spiteful comedy will always fall flat. Yes, insult comedy exists, but it's not spiteful. It's not meant to put anyone down. Comedy is supposed to make you feel good. This book is just angry. It's spiteful.
Any time a creator is more focused on sending a message than making quality work - regardless of where said message lies on the political spectrum - they're going to end up with total crap.
Yeah, I could see maybe Janine Garofalo 10 years ago writing something that would have been funny, and pretty cutthroat, might actually "offend" a few dudes.
"Yeah, take that Rapists! Uh... that'll teach you..." Me: Spitting out my drink in laughter, "Buckley committed to it! That's great! Day has been made!!"
Natasha Leggero, Kelsey Cook, and Tiffany Haddish are absolute riots. I thank idle listening of pandora, spotify, and sirius comedy channels for finding 'em for me.
This reminds me of this video I saw on TH-cam many years ago. This feminist slam poet was ranting about sexism. I agreed with most of the points she was making, but as poetry, it was nonetheless awful. I mean she was right in much of what she had to say, but there was nothing artful or clever about her wordplay. She just yelled and ranted. She was just shouting her anger into the void. So I left a comment to that effect. Which led to two women responding to my comment to tell me what a misogynist asshole I am. Well, I'm as woke as fuck, and always have been, but I also enjoy good writing and abhor attempts at it that fail as badly as the literary abortion I had seen performed. So I attempted to politely explain to these ladies that I agreed with their point of view, but the expression of it that had occasioned our conversation did it no justice at all. And that will be the reaction of authors of this book, and the people who are giving it three to five star reviews on Amazon & Goodreads (no really), to any and all criticism. When you say it's not funny, they will hear "I'm offended because you're talking about me." So in that sense, you can't win. Similarly, about a month ago I was browsing TH-cam and I came across a video that purported to depict a female standup comic ruining her career with one joke. Well I'm as amused by an epic fail as any internet user, so I clicked on that shit! Well, the title misled me in a few ways. First of all, the comedienne, whose name was Kristen Uhde (so you can easily look it up and form your own opinion) did a three+ minute routine, not one mere joke. And secondly, her career had not suffered appreciably as a result of the bit, based on the web research I did. And third. she was not even a standup comic; she was a spoken word poet. The point of her performance was pretty much that female gamers are still finding it necessary to conceal their gender years after the fact, as a result of Gamergate. And although I'm not much of a gamer, that sounded believable to me. And the dweeby little gamerboy who made the video about her routine is exactly the target audience of this joke book. He's the kind of guy who would be too offended by its (for lack of a better word) jokes to even notice their humorlessness. Oh and he also looked like the kind of guy who would sleep on an anime pillow, but that's neither here nor there.
Given decades of dud joke books written by men (e.g. nagging wife jokes, dumb blonde jokes, ethnic jokes), something like this is eventually going to be published. Yay progress, I guess. Are there any "joke books" that are mostly funny? I remember a Monty Python one back in the day, and that's it.
I think the idea behind most joke books is just how unfunny they are, and that makes them funny. Like a good bad movie. But this is more like a bad bad movie.
@@ADoseofBuckley I remember the joke books that were passed around in high school. If some people didn't think they were high-larious in a straight up, not in a good bad way, they were much better actors than I gave them credit for. But agreed, this one sounds like a bad bad one.
So four women are pissed that guys think women aren’t funny and in response to that they make a joke book that definitively proves all those guys right. Wow you sure showed us, ladies 😂
My girlfriend and I picked this up and skimmed through it in a B&N a few months back and we were both genuinely dumbfounded by how many of the “jokes” in this book weren’t…jokes. It’s impressive that the authors managed to make almost Tim Heidecker level anti-humor seemingly unintentionally.
And here Greg thought the fact that the stove he handcuffed his gf to had a clock would keep her from burning the turkey, but by jove she still managed to find a way to turn the bird to ash.
The kindle version costs $8,99... Without a doubt, the patreon members now know their contributions are being well spend... But stupid jokes aside (so putting that book away), thanks for your sacrifice and rekindle my wondering if people who write things like this know the difference between offending and boring someone. Though, not gonna lie, the dark age joke had me crack a grin. So one joke out of how many there actually in that book, sounds like a costly investment.
I actually didn't use Patreon money, I bought it with my allowance (as a white man, the government just gives me money for existing, a little pat on the head and a "buy yourself something nice")
Best strategy ever for them, you create a book with at best very average joke, and as soon as someone say that its not a fun book... sexism, cause there is literally no other reason why someone can not like it. Not even talking about such book but instead of "...men" is would be named "...women" or lets say "...non-binary".
After reading many of these jokes, I’ve come to regret my career decisions. I should’ve become an entrepreneur, where 100% of my staff would be women-to save on labor costs.
Yeah, guys do be having it easy. Woman must be crazy jealous of not being lured into the marriage just to get divorced, legally robbed for half you ever had + pay 18 years of child support? 😅
They should retitle that book "4 Angry Bitches Who Aren't Funny Try To Tell Jokes." At least then it would be an honest title. I don't mind jokes at a man's expense or even at my own expense, but I do have to insist they be funny, which none of those were even a little funny, except that word pun joke at the end. Btw, I'd buy the hell out of that book Buckley proposed at the end of the video.
8:08 I recently got a grapic novel called "Wings Of Fire". Its msrp is around 15$, but I got it new for 10$, so at minimum, this is asking for 3$ more. WOF comes with (give or take) 224 pages of excellently colored comic pages, with solid art, and so far as I've read, a great story with compelling characters. This book is a series of, unfortunately, weak jokes with the occasional illustration. Talk about a pink tax!
I don't know if it was "underrated", but like many HBO shows, they don't end up getting the reach they deserve. But yes it's really good, I intended to just slowly watch it over a few months and ended up bingeing it in about 3 weeks.
@ADoseofBuckley yeah that's exactly what I did too. It was nice to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a different show too. She was in something called Adventures of Christine or something like that before VEEP but that didn't last long. And VEEP did get a lot of critical praise during its run. But like you said, HBO shows don't really get the reach they deserve. Well, except for that one show about an Italian mob family from New Jersey.
LOL I saw this book at the store and couldn't get over how bad it was. Still think back to it to this day. Funny to see it being picked up by one of my fav creators
Yeah great show. The shorts were fantastic (they remade some of them as scenes in the first season), I don't know if they're all still up on TH-cam or not (they had their own TH-cam channel and then College Humor or someone picked a few up) but yeah, "Seal's Face", the Storybook one, the Mom who was a bully to the teacher in high school, so many good ones.
Buckley, the bra one is actually kinda gold. It def made me laugh out loud, and from my understanding (having no experience in the industry myself, so grain of salt this shit) fashion is pretty male dominated. I could go google and find out for myself but I can't be fucked.
There are plenty of excellent comediennes, examples include Mo’Nique, Joan Rivers, Phyllis Diller, Roseanne Barr, Lucille Ball, Hattie McDaniel, And the original golden girls, feminist or anti-feminist comedy, liberal comedy or conservative comedy. Can all be extremely hilarious when done right and can be extremely unfunny when executed wrong, laughter is involuntary, I believe you can make a joke out of anything and everything, I can’t wait for a book which is all about “jokes to offend women” or “Jokes to offend genderless aliens”
As someone who is both a woman and a feminist, I found none of these jokes funny. I got more chuckles out of the little comic strips that came with Bazooka Joe bubble gums.
Oh definitely. Went on a few dates with a Greg who worked in "Finances" or something, had an unfortunate break up or just got ghosted, and now "Greg" is the Darth Vader of all white males.
i feel bad for all the actually funny women for having to be associated with this type of humor. most of these aren't even jokes, they're just snappy statements trying to look insightful.
I bet the way this book was made was one of the authors went through a bad brake up and took wrighting out how you feel to literally and he friends the other authors where like "omg Debby from down the street works for a publishing agency let's send this to her" and bam you got a book
That book is basically just another part of a horrible trend that's probably been around for a while but I've seen it popping up a lot more recently; people who make spiteful insults and then claim it's comedy even though there is absolutely nothing _intentionally_ comedic about what they're saying. I'm saying "people" because it's not just women doing this, it's people who recognise that comedy sells but have no idea how to write comedy so they just stamp the word "comedy" onto their own personal anger in the hopes that idiots will fool for it. Comedy has to be funny, that is the number one rule of comedy that should never be broken, and while playing with expectations _can_ be funny it generally helps if the person making the joke is self aware and open to hurting themselves as well as whoever they're telling the joke about. There's a Joan Rivers anecdotal joke that demonstrates this nicely: "he said he wanted to make love with the lights on and I said "YOU SHUT THAT CAR DOOR!"". The reason that joke works is because you naturally imagine someone like Joan to be somewhere romantic like a bedroom and not inside a car so she's attacking her image a little. Another example comes from a UK comedian who was famed for his blue humour; Bernard Manning: "I wouldn't want to be a homosexual....why would I want even _more_ people turning me down?" you assume he's about to say something ridiculously homophobic as that is what he's famed for but instead he just admits that he sucks at gaining a partner.

Like how Buckley’s final verdict is that it’s not offensive enough.
If it was more offensive it might have been a little funny, as it is those were just... boring. Not even jokes, really.

Alot of those feel like passive aggressive jabs to their significant other, like I half expected a setup to go "What do you call a man who refuses to put up the bread and leave the toaster on its highest setting despite the fact his wife constantly tells him that she likes his toast soft and hates stale bread GREG"
“Jokes to Offense Burger King” was the first joke that made me laugh. 😂
Spiteful comedy will always fall flat. Yes, insult comedy exists, but it's not spiteful. It's not meant to put anyone down. Comedy is supposed to make you feel good. This book is just angry. It's spiteful.
Any time a creator is more focused on sending a message than making quality work - regardless of where said message lies on the political spectrum - they're going to end up with total crap.
There’s something about you reading the jokes in your voice that made them almost funny tbh 😂
A feminist joke book wouldn’t be a bad idea if it was written by talented female comedians. Wanda Sykes would be a good choice, for one
Yeah, I could see maybe Janine Garofalo 10 years ago writing something that would have been funny, and pretty cutthroat, might actually "offend" a few dudes.
Wanda Sykes is a lesbian so she probably hates men. She'd be perfect for it.
Where is Lisa lamponelli when we need her?

3:53 I was expecting the punchline to be abortion rights so I actually laughed out of surprise 😭
"Yeah, take that Rapists! Uh... that'll teach you..."
Me: Spitting out my drink in laughter, "Buckley committed to it! That's great! Day has been made!!"
Absolutely one of your funniest videos ever. The Halloween drink bit made me spit out my Burger King diet coke
Natasha Leggero, Kelsey Cook, and Tiffany Haddish are absolute riots. I thank idle listening of pandora, spotify, and sirius comedy channels for finding 'em for me.
Buckley is a chef, for real. Always cooking and dropping fire content.
Love how he ended it with an Andrew Dice Clay "oh!"
This reminds me of this video I saw on TH-cam many years ago. This feminist slam poet was ranting about sexism. I agreed with most of the points she was making, but as poetry, it was nonetheless awful. I mean she was right in much of what she had to say, but there was nothing artful or clever about her wordplay. She just yelled and ranted. She was just shouting her anger into the void. So I left a comment to that effect.
Which led to two women responding to my comment to tell me what a misogynist asshole I am. Well, I'm as woke as fuck, and always have been, but I also enjoy good writing and abhor attempts at it that fail as badly as the literary abortion I had seen performed. So I attempted to politely explain to these ladies that I agreed with their point of view, but the expression of it that had occasioned our conversation did it no justice at all.
And that will be the reaction of authors of this book, and the people who are giving it three to five star reviews on Amazon & Goodreads (no really), to any and all criticism. When you say it's not funny, they will hear "I'm offended because you're talking about me." So in that sense, you can't win.
Similarly, about a month ago I was browsing TH-cam and I came across a video that purported to depict a female standup comic ruining her career with one joke. Well I'm as amused by an epic fail as any internet user, so I clicked on that shit!
Well, the title misled me in a few ways. First of all, the comedienne, whose name was Kristen Uhde (so you can easily look it up and form your own opinion) did a three+ minute routine, not one mere joke. And secondly, her career had not suffered appreciably as a result of the bit, based on the web research I did. And third. she was not even a standup comic; she was a spoken word poet.
The point of her performance was pretty much that female gamers are still finding it necessary to conceal their gender years after the fact, as a result of Gamergate. And although I'm not much of a gamer, that sounded believable to me. And the dweeby little gamerboy who made the video about her routine is exactly the target audience of this joke book. He's the kind of guy who would be too offended by its (for lack of a better word) jokes to even notice their humorlessness.
Oh and he also looked like the kind of guy who would sleep on an anime pillow, but that's neither here nor there.
But what if Greg worked at the cantina at the tire factory, would that qualify him to brine the turkey?
Was this book written by Hannah Gadsby
Man I really tried to give her benefit of the doubt but she's so annoying. Like just a walking stereotype.
Given decades of dud joke books written by men (e.g. nagging wife jokes, dumb blonde jokes, ethnic jokes), something like this is eventually going to be published. Yay progress, I guess. Are there any "joke books" that are mostly funny? I remember a Monty Python one back in the day, and that's it.
I think the idea behind most joke books is just how unfunny they are, and that makes them funny. Like a good bad movie. But this is more like a bad bad movie.
@@ADoseofBuckley I remember the joke books that were passed around in high school. If some people didn't think they were high-larious in a straight up, not in a good bad way, they were much better actors than I gave them credit for. But agreed, this one sounds like a bad bad one.
So four women are pissed that guys think women aren’t funny and in response to that they make a joke book that definitively proves all those guys right. Wow you sure showed us, ladies 😂
I’d say this book is actually very empowering; it proves women can make joke books just as good as men can.
The MENstruation one gave me a chuckle... Also Buckley should totally release his own version of Jokes to Offend Men.
My girlfriend and I picked this up and skimmed through it in a B&N a few months back and we were both genuinely dumbfounded by how many of the “jokes” in this book weren’t…jokes. It’s impressive that the authors managed to make almost Tim Heidecker level anti-humor seemingly unintentionally.
To be fair, that is part of the goal, I think. All these 'dumb blonde' "jokes" they are supposedly trying to mimic, also aren't really jokes at all.
Where can i preorder "jokes to offend women who want to offend men?" Take my money
Buckley came back with another banger! Keep it up, brother!
The cringe "I apologize for my privilege" fan
The based "If I'm privileged, then I prefer it that way" enjoyer
And here Greg thought the fact that the stove he handcuffed his gf to had a clock would keep her from burning the turkey, but by jove she still managed to find a way to turn the bird to ash.
9:52 imagine buckey did made this book i’ll buy that for a good price.
Fern Brady is hilarious
I only recently found out about her while watching Taskmaster, I've since watched a few different standup sets of hers and yeah she's incredible.
The kindle version costs $8,99... Without a doubt, the patreon members now know their contributions are being well spend... But stupid jokes aside (so putting that book away), thanks for your sacrifice and rekindle my wondering if people who write things like this know the difference between offending and boring someone. Though, not gonna lie, the dark age joke had me crack a grin. So one joke out of how many there actually in that book, sounds like a costly investment.
I actually didn't use Patreon money, I bought it with my allowance (as a white man, the government just gives me money for existing, a little pat on the head and a "buy yourself something nice")
@@ADoseofBuckley Ha, fantastic!
Best strategy ever for them, you create a book with at best very average joke, and as soon as someone say that its not a fun book... sexism, cause there is literally no other reason why someone can not like it. Not even talking about such book but instead of "...men" is would be named "...women" or lets say "...non-binary".
From the writers of Ghostbusters 2016:
We're going back to 2016 with this one 🔥🔥🔥
That lying on the resumé one made me instantly groan. People of *all* genders lie on their resumés.
i'd like a feminist joke book rather than a satire of one. This is painfully unfunny, thanks for making us laugh at it. ok that tree joke was cute.
The 5 foot 5 joke was the first that made me laugh
Hell yeah, early access.
"i hate you". that's the joke, hilarious i know
After reading many of these jokes, I’ve come to regret my career decisions. I should’ve become an entrepreneur, where 100% of my staff would be women-to save on labor costs.
Yeah, guys do be having it easy. Woman must be crazy jealous of not being lured into the marriage just to get divorced, legally robbed for half you ever had + pay 18 years of child support? 😅
They should retitle that book "4 Angry Bitches Who Aren't Funny Try To Tell Jokes." At least then it would be an honest title. I don't mind jokes at a man's expense or even at my own expense, but I do have to insist they be funny, which none of those were even a little funny, except that word pun joke at the end.
Btw, I'd buy the hell out of that book Buckley proposed at the end of the video.
The reviews trying desperately to make the book sound way funnier than it is are unironically funnier than any joke written in the book.

I recently got a grapic novel called "Wings Of Fire". Its msrp is around 15$, but I got it new for 10$, so at minimum, this is asking for 3$ more.
WOF comes with (give or take) 224 pages of excellently colored comic pages, with solid art, and so far as I've read, a great story with compelling characters.
This book is a series of, unfortunately, weak jokes with the occasional illustration.
Talk about a pink tax!
The things that pass for jokes nowadays.... Thanks, Buckley, for making fun of the boys the right way
This was awesome. Buckley is truly hilarious.
They sound so bitter that I'm wondering if they got rejected by every therapist they had around, and writing a book was the next best choice.
That low bar one made me chuckle. If anything I'm chuckling from sheer absurdity
VEEP was an underrated show.
Honestly, just "the Jonad files" scene seems funnier than that whole book.
Julia Louis Dreyfus is the only actor to win six Emmys for playing the same character. Underrated? Hardly.
I don't know if it was "underrated", but like many HBO shows, they don't end up getting the reach they deserve. But yes it's really good, I intended to just slowly watch it over a few months and ended up bingeing it in about 3 weeks.
@ADoseofBuckley yeah that's exactly what I did too. It was nice to see Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a different show too. She was in something called Adventures of Christine or something like that before VEEP but that didn't last long. And VEEP did get a lot of critical praise during its run. But like you said, HBO shows don't really get the reach they deserve. Well, except for that one show about an Italian mob family from New Jersey.
Crazy that bucklys 2 jokes at the end actually made me laugh out loud lol
Rage bait, the whole book
It's like Amy Schumer, but better.
Ouch
Damn, I can feel the heat all the way over here
That's hardly difficult, although it depends on whose jokes she ripped off this week!
That’s still a pretty low bar, if you ask me. 😂
LOL I saw this book at the store and couldn't get over how bad it was. Still think back to it to this day. Funny to see it being picked up by one of my fav creators
I loved the show teachers!! Didnt even know the angry Canadian was such a big part (LOL). Thanks Buckley ;)
Yeah great show. The shorts were fantastic (they remade some of them as scenes in the first season), I don't know if they're all still up on TH-cam or not (they had their own TH-cam channel and then College Humor or someone picked a few up) but yeah, "Seal's Face", the Storybook one, the Mom who was a bully to the teacher in high school, so many good ones.
07:07 That honestly was a solid joke. On par with the best jokes on She Hulk but still not rolling on the floor laughing level jokes.
I can’t help thinking this might very well be metajokes
Damn what the hell did i do
Buckley, the bra one is actually kinda gold. It def made me laugh out loud, and from my understanding (having no experience in the industry myself, so grain of salt this shit) fashion is pretty male dominated. I could go google and find out for myself but I can't be fucked.
I agree, I really like that joke it was just written badly.
Well gay male dominated. Women over here worrying about the male gaze when they should be worrying about the male gays.
These aren't jokes. These are insecure ad hominem attacks.
Stay angry everyone
"We believe that comedy should empower rather than cause harm"
Tells jokes that seek to cause harm to men.
There are plenty of excellent comediennes, examples include Mo’Nique, Joan Rivers, Phyllis Diller, Roseanne Barr, Lucille Ball, Hattie McDaniel, And the original golden girls, feminist or anti-feminist comedy, liberal comedy or conservative comedy. Can all be extremely hilarious when done right and can be extremely unfunny when executed wrong, laughter is involuntary, I believe you can make a joke out of anything and everything, I can’t wait for a book which is all about “jokes to offend women” or “Jokes to offend genderless aliens”
Wait Sandra Oh has done things since Grey's Anatomy?
Before and After I suppose. Arliss came out well before Grey's Anatomy, and Quiz Lady came out last year.
@@ADoseofBuckley I liked Grey's Anatomy
Designing a joke to offend someone is a sure-fire way to make sure it isn’t actually funny
How many women does it take to change a lightbulb? None, they expect the men to do it.
As someone who is both a woman and a feminist, I found none of these jokes funny. I got more chuckles out of the little comic strips that came with Bazooka Joe bubble gums.
Why do I feel like one of the writers dated a guy named Greg?
Oh definitely. Went on a few dates with a Greg who worked in "Finances" or something, had an unfortunate break up or just got ghosted, and now "Greg" is the Darth Vader of all white males.
i feel bad for all the actually funny women for having to be associated with this type of humor. most of these aren't even jokes, they're just snappy statements trying to look insightful.
I bet the way this book was made was one of the authors went through a bad brake up and took wrighting out how you feel to literally and he friends the other authors where like "omg Debby from down the street works for a publishing agency let's send this to her" and bam you got a book
That book is basically just another part of a horrible trend that's probably been around for a while but I've seen it popping up a lot more recently; people who make spiteful insults and then claim it's comedy even though there is absolutely nothing _intentionally_ comedic about what they're saying.
I'm saying "people" because it's not just women doing this, it's people who recognise that comedy sells but have no idea how to write comedy so they just stamp the word "comedy" onto their own personal anger in the hopes that idiots will fool for it.
Comedy has to be funny, that is the number one rule of comedy that should never be broken, and while playing with expectations _can_ be funny it generally helps if the person making the joke is self aware and open to hurting themselves as well as whoever they're telling the joke about.
There's a Joan Rivers anecdotal joke that demonstrates this nicely: "he said he wanted to make love with the lights on and I said "YOU SHUT THAT CAR DOOR!"". The reason that joke works is because you naturally imagine someone like Joan to be somewhere romantic like a bedroom and not inside a car so she's attacking her image a little.
Another example comes from a UK comedian who was famed for his blue humour; Bernard Manning: "I wouldn't want to be a homosexual....why would I want even _more_ people turning me down?" you assume he's about to say something ridiculously homophobic as that is what he's famed for but instead he just admits that he sucks at gaining a partner.
I think Buckley would make an amazing Roast comedian. This dose was hilarious!
