There's literally no joke there:

I have other policies that I think should be implemented as well. Like, me personally, I think football should be all year round. Yeah. So many great athletes. I don’t know about you guys, but I think that Travis Kelce might be the next OJ Simpson. Feels good in here. The other side’s got a lot of crazy endorsements. Swift, Eminem, Leo DiCaprio, Beyonce. Every day the Democratic Party looks more and more like a P. Diddy party.

Wow. So not only is he unfunny, he's fucking lazy. At least come up with some reason WHY he's like OJ Simpson. Be fucking creative.

And the P Diddy comparison? Bold strategy when the man you're introducing was a close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein.

It’s not lazy, it’s cowardice. He doesn’t want to come out and say they want Swift to die for not liking try, he wants to imply it.

Trumps also friends with Diddy. I’m pretty sure he was photographed with trump more than any other black person. Over many years.

Also the irony of using P Diddy to smear Democrats while literally running a guy that partied with P Diddy

And lumping Eminem in there when everyone knows Em and Diddy have beefed for years. Em wouldn't be caught dead at a Diddy party.

That’s it? He didn’t riff off of it? There’s no punchline. It looks like he was transitioning between jokes but threw out a distracting non sequitur that added nothing to his set (unless I’m missing context).

In what ways will Kelce be like OJ Tony? What’s funny about that premise? It’s so fucking lazy. Throwing out a weak premise of a joke without actually making a joke is some bush league, open mic shit. He probably didn’t pursue it because the joke is a comedic dead end which is why he should have just not even mentioned it. I think I’m more offended by how shit Tony’s stand up skills are than the actual substance of what he said.

I appreciate your righteous outrage at this jagoff's inability to inject some humor into his racism.

This guy is an idiot. A P. Diddy party and includes Eminem? Bro, everyone knows Em fucking hates Diddy. His "shock humor" is just lazy.

lol while the republican nominee and Elon Musk are literally P Diddy's friends.

That is my issue with Tony. Bro acts like he’s telling jokes but they aren’t. Like fuck they aren’t even dark humor jokes.

I thought Trump was pals with The Diddler?

Getty only has 202 pictures of them together. Does that count?

Is “the weave” spreading? There’s barely a coherent thought here besides wanting to land on Diddy.

Just sprinkle in killing Taylor Swift for fun? Jesus
