Comedian Shane Gillis had the perfect snarky response after Chelsea
Handler publicly accused him of being “racist” and “sexist” for making
jokes.

“This is a big moment for Chelsea. I am glad she’s capitalizing. Good
for her. We’re all rooting for her. Anyway, come see me July 17th at
the football stadium in Philly,” Gillis told Variety.

The drama started after the Netflix special “The Roast of Kevin Hart,”
which caused all kinds of controversy for including edgy jokes. One SNL
star dropped out because the joke style annoyed him so much.

Handler was also miffed that political correctness was not properly
honored during the event, as she explained during an appearance on the
podcast “Funny Knowing You.”

“It’s just everything we know: that they’re racist, that they’re
bigots, that they’re sexist,” Handler said of Gillis and comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. “That they think they’re invincible.”

“It was gross. I don’t find those jokes to be funny — jokes about
lynching black people,” the former talk show host complained. “Lynching
is not a joke. That’s worse than rape. You’re not joking about rape,
are you? … You know you can’t do that, but you can say ‘lynching’?”

This was in response to the joke Gillis made, saying Hart is “so short,
you’d have to lynch him from a bonsai tree.”

Handler also took issue with Gillis joking about roast participant
Sheryl Underwood’s husband, who died by suicide in 1990, despite him clarifying he had cleared the jokes with Underwood ahead of time.

“I found them making fun of Sheryl Underwood’s dead husband who
committed suicide [gross],” Handler went on. “If she says she’s fine
with that, she’s fine with that. I wasn’t fine with that. I thought
that was disgusting, too.”

“There was so much disgustingness. I knew it was going to be such a
gross vibe that I would be able to elevate it, no problem,” the
comedian insisted. “Kevin didn’t deserve that. He deserved an elevated
roast.”

Hours after Handler’s podcast episode aired, Gillis put out a podcast
episode of his own with Underwood as a guest. She confirmed that the
jokes about her deceased husband were still fine by her.

“Sometimes humor is the thing,” she told Gillis. “It’s the most
uncomfortable humor that lessens the tension and the stress.”

Hart was also more than OK with all the jokes. He posted a video on
Instagram following the event, saying in part, “That, my friend, is
what the f*ck a roast is supposed to be — hard-hitting, relentless
jokes.”

I think she's upset that she was called out for being an drunk old whore...

... at a roast.

That said, I think modern roasts are crass and unfunny.

Kinda. Personally I don't think he's anywhere in the realm of Ricky Gervais, but he's amusing. Some people must really like him, though, because he sells out arenas.

Seems to me like his entire schtick is telling a joke and if it gets a laugh, he moves on, and if it doesn't (about 50% of the time), he sheepishly says something along the lines of, "Wow, I thought that that would do better. It's gonna be a long night."

Oh. It's the audience's fault for not being entertained.

He qualifies to be a studio executive.

Yeah, if this outing was typical, he's definitely into "breaking the
fourth wall". I don't much like it even in movies, much less as a
substitute for good stand-up.
