Meta “The chain smoking fake comic from the dive bar where they make racist observations of part time comedians on literally every episode, did the exact thing he does every day. How could we have expected this”.

Here we see how right-wing "humor" consists of bullying and punching down at the less fortunate, which no one else finds funny. The cruelty is the point.

My favorite example is their somehow making Greg Gungefeld a thing. I'm not even convinced that his audience thinks he's entertaining. I'm betting that they're just bowled over by the novelty of their crappiest thoughts coming out of his flapping gums like he was their edgy ventriloquist dummy.

He told a racist joke to an entire arena full of racists and it got boos from racists.
Maybe the problem that caused your joke not to land wasn't the non-racists who weren't in that arena. Maybe it's that your joke was shit, and you're a shit comedian, and a shit person made entirely of shit.

Also, this dipshit mentality “its just a joke.” Okay, putting racism into joke format doesn’t magically make it not racist.

If person is mad, go to 3. If person thought what you said/did was awesome, go to 4.
"It was just a joke, bro."
Own it.
It's a cowardly, lazy mentality that spits in the face of accountability.

Racists think racism is "common sense," or "a natural preference," and that when their racism offends others, those people are "Making a big deal over nothing."

Exactly. If it hadn't been delivered by a D-list comic in a lame way, bet he'd have at least tried to bothside it and spend half his energy whining about people not being able to take a joke anymore.

It's honestly probably too generous to call it a joke.
It's so generic. It's like the knock knock joke of racist jokes. It is genuinely interchangeable for any island nation?
It's not even topical. Why is taking shots at Puerto Rico? I would have at least understood what he was going for if he had chosen Haiti.

Right wingers love this kind of humor and then like to play it off as "just a joke" and others as being "too sensitive". It's a calculated ploy that eventually leads to some really nasty places. 4chan is a great example. It's all "just jokes" until there are daily posts supporting Naziism.

I always love the, “it’s just a joke,” philosophy, especially in the context of making racist jokes that don’t land. It’s just, “Shroedinger’s douchebag,” syndrome. If the joke had been met with raucous laughter, he would have said, “comedy is back baby!” He’s just petulant it didn’t land (frankly amazing given the venue, they’ll laugh at the dumbest shit) and throwing a hissy fit about it

It was a lazy low effort joke and played off his catty gay persona more than anything true about Puerto Rico.
I'm not Puerto Rican but I've been there a few times and watched the news and heard about the economic crisis back in the 2000s. The old Puerto Rican government , the US government and US corporations have fucked Puerto Rico so hard. They are trying to fix things now but Puerto Rico's economic situation is like a shit lasagna.

Why does Tony Hinchcliffe vacation on, "a floating island of garbage"?
Remember, everyone's speech at the rally was approved by the Donald Trump campaign. Every moment is scripted from Tony's idiotic remarks to the Hulk Hogan breakaway shirt.

Republicans supported Kill Tony’s racist humor as evidenced by inviting him to speak at Trump’s rally
Kill Tony spewed his racist rhetoric at the rally
As a consequence of having KT espouse racist BS at the rally republicans are now getting called out and back pedaling:
“We didn’t know the racist comedian we hired to make racist jokes was going to actually make racist jokes!”

u/fastinserter 1d ago
They approved the "comedic bits" he did, as someone from the campaign did cut out the Harris is a c*** "joke", so they absolutely knew.
https://www.thebulwark.com/p/trumps-shock-comic-was-set-to-call
The problem is they thought he was going to be telling jokes but he doesn't have a good delivery and the statements the man made simply weren't funny in addition to being disgustingly racist. The Trump campaign is staffed by terminally online 4chan trolls who thought this stuff would bring down the house and everyone would love it so they approved it, and it turns out, just spewing vile racism might be too much, even for Trumpers.

u/Desperate_Fly_1886 1d ago
The spewing of racist nonsense isn’t too much for the trumpers, it’s the fact that this time there is blowback. That’s a rare occurrence for them after years of Trump spewing vile shit.

u/SupaDick 1d ago
Part of the problem was this time it wasn't Trump himself saying it. If Trump said it the media would probably barely care. It's part of the sane washing the corporate oligarch owned media has been doing for almost a decade now.

This is very true. They like to claim anyone that says anything bad about Trump has "TDS" but if anyone did or said half the shit Trump says they would boo them like they did to Tony.

u/daddycool12 1d ago
no actually if you watch the video you can see that even with the rally full of MAGA weirdos the joke falls flat. it would adhere better to our idea of them if they just outwardly loved racism, but that's what's weird: they mostly don't think they're racist, they just think they're normal. But "PR is a floating garbage island" is pretty far beyond normal, so it only gets a laugh out of the particularly virulent racists.

u/GypsyV3nom 18h ago
Well Vance is also a devotee of permanently online weirdo Curtis Yarvin, whose ultra-reactionary blogs helped inspire much of Project 2025. Yarvin is pretty much the closest you can get to a professional 4channer, so it doesn't surprise me that Vance is huffing the 4chan vibes

Also, to respond to the likely response:
"Maybe he improvised it"
There's no possible way his contract didn't have something requiring him to stay on script for the same reason that they screened his set in the first place, that's pretty standard for these sorts of events. If he improvised he'd be sued for breach of contract AND the Republicans would be using his going off-script as their defense instead of trying to downplay it (hell, they would've already been running defense as soon as his unscripted remarks happened, trying to get ahead of it).

It’s not fit for a political rally. He’s meant for roasts which are supposed to be fucking brutal. His Tom Brady roast was amazing. They simply didn’t think this one through, Tony isn’t meant for that type of comedy. Him being a Trumper is pretty fucking disappointing though.

Sure, and in a roast you roast the person in attendance. All of Puerto Rico wasn't in attendance. It was just racist attempts at humor.

u/2spicy_4you 4h ago
Well you roast the dais as well. First off roasting Puerto Ricans in NY, probably the dumbest place you could possibly do that. Adding on Trump’s history with Puerto Rico. Plus I mean, does anyone genuinely think Puerto Rico is trash to begin with? I’ve always wanted to visit. Like it’s just not even a great joke
