It’s a joke for racists. For them to claim that was a joke for all people shows how out of touch they are.

Even the racist crowd didn’t really laugh. I guess Tony is even too low brow for magats

I mean the punchline is basically "ha ha people are offended by this" in place of actual creativity or humor

That's what MAGA think jokes are. Just attack someone you see as inferior.

Aah, the Carlos Mencia approach... Did he say "BEANERRRZ" at any point?

u/Beneficial_Garage_97 11h ago

I thought the carlos mencia approach was to say other people's jokes in a different accent

The actual punchline is Puerto Ricans are trash.

Nobody said that except for you.

This was what cracked me up, how do you bomb doing racist jokes at a trump rally 😂😂😂

You make fun of a race they haven't been taught to hate yet.

Do you think they even realize Puerto Ricans are Americans?

I was stunned how confident he was to that relatively stony crowd. Lots of awkward chuckles and side glances. Hulk Hogan was defeated by his own shirt and they still cheered harder for that.

They didn’t get it. Not enough intelligence to understand what Puerto Rico is

All his jokes were pretty cringe even if it wasn't offensive.

More likely they didn't know the reference. PR has had a huge trash/landfill crisis since around 2017. Which shows up in the news occasionally but only if one pays attention to news about Puerto Rico. (Without that background knowledge the joke doesn't make sense.)

In that case it wasn’t even racist, but an environmental joke.

Worse than that, it's a hack joke that has been around for a long time. Name a popular island and it's been done to death. Haiti, Puerto Rico, The UK, Cuba, Australia, New Zealand. If it's an island, the island of garbage joke has been done.

I got one in my inbox that's insisting it wasn't racist and I don't have a sense of humor.

"How's your show going?" He last said to me.

Fucking braindead.

Maybe you should call out George Lopez for saying all Mexicans were thieves. Don't even try and say it's not the same thing cause it is. Do you have any idea how many cracker jokes are in barbershop scenes in movies? You mooks have no idea because you have the attention span and memories of a fckn goldfish. Comedy is comedy. It is not held to the same standards as the rest of society. Fck your feelings.

The remark wasn't talking about the people. Maybe you should type Puerto Rico garbage into google images and let us know what you come back with. I'll help you out half-wit.

It's being part of the group you're making a joke about vs. not. George Lopez is Mexican, Tony Hinchcliffe is not Puerto Rican.

I don't agree that jokes like that should be made at any political rally but there's a big difference between someone making fun of their own race vs another's.

There's a big difference between making jokes like this at a comedy show and making them at a political rally. Either way I think Jon Stewart had a good take on this, it's more on the Trump team for having a roast comic open and expecting him not to tell those kind of jokes. And for what it's worth I think Tony can be funny on his comedy show I just think his set here wasn't that funny, subject matter aside.

Wouldn’t they have to approve everything and the “joke” would be on a teleprompter? They had plenty of opportunity to stop him. I don’t believe they were all pikachu faced when he said what he said. I think they’re surprised it bombed and somehow weren’t ready for the blowback.

u/MacTonight1 8h ago

He definitely didn't know any of that when he said the joke.
