I don’t know who Jay is.  Did he write jokes for Steve-O?

...Really? February 21, 2012 at 11:30 am

Marc,

As a long time listener I was a little thrown off by co-signed on some of the stupid commentary from Jay on how simplictic and unintelligent black audiences are. From a people who produced and supported brilliant comics like Red Foxx, Richard Pryor and Chris Rock? Really? Becuase Jay can only make black audiences laugh by telling base jokes so he talks shit about them and you laugh. Really? The point is, none of your conversation with Jay was funny because it belittled black audiences. FUNNY has a transcdent quality. That even if people’s feelings are bruised there’s is some kind of deeper meaning to the comic’s understanding of the world. That’s why I listen to your show. The stuff your guests say usually rises above touchy subjects BECAUSE the conversation is funny and relevant. That shit with Jay was just base and low.

i totally agree with the post above. this was the first episode i couldn’t finish. just couldn’t get past all the “ugly little black girl” this and “simple black audience” that.

I agree with commenter #2. Jay used a broad paint brush.

Marc, you seem to have this fear/fetish of black clubs and audiences.  We weren’t born in a different country.  I don’t know why we seem so foreign to you.  I enjoy Demitri, Galafiniakis and your stand-up just as much as the mainstream audience (to use the quote from this podshow).  I thought you knew that black folks can appreciate comedy outside of the DefJam model, but I’m not so sure what you know after listening to this episode.  There’s usually humor in observing a group of people but this took a strange direction and fell flat.  I don’t know if it was the delivery or the person telling the stories. In any case, it was weird and disappointing. The Ralphie May episode was excellent.  He gets it.  The only redeeming part of the show was when Jay bombed in front of the weekend crowd.

Ugly episode. You didn’t call him on any of his stereotyping bullshit. In fact there was a lot of ‘knowing chuckling’ coming from you. Lame.

I must agree with the above comments.  I love you Marc and have followed your career for a long time, but I was really disappointed in this show.  The sweeping generalizations of my people were hard to take.  Black folks are not a monolith, we don’t share one particular point of view, experience, or find the same thing funny.  You had Chris Rock on your show, does he reflect the comics or audience Big Jay was spewing about?  What about Bill Cosby or Richard Pryor or Dave Chappelle?  Doesn’t their comedic artistry trump Big Jay’s limited scope?  You could’ve challenged him because I believe you know better, yet you laughed at a hack.  There’s a wealth of comedic talent in and from the Black community, you should tap into it.

Wow listen to these phonies who never spent a day hanging out where Jay hung out!  I encourage you to go into the chitlin circuit with your adorable ideas about an all black crowd and try doing material.  They don’t want Chris Rock. They want Shucky Fucking Ducky. 
    Of course not all black people are a monolith, but the circuit where we started was the black equivalent of jeff foxworthy’s crowd and they don’t know what words like “monolith” mean. Yes many of you are sweater wearing, intelligent Key and Peeles and Wyatt Cenacs and John Legends shit and I would be glad to vote for you for president. No one is complaining about you.  That’s not who we were playing for.
Have you never been to ignorant-ass philly and had a goon with a beanpie seller’s chin-strap beard yell ignorant-ass shit at you?  Have you ever had to perform for black isrealites? Or at a black “ski trip” where no actually one skis and they’re all drunk on well liquor? No? Then shut your sheltered buppy yap.
    By the way HG, just based on how well you follow grammar rules I can tell you these people would tear you the fuck apart like the walking dead.  You know that too, motherfucker.  You’re black and you’re into Marc Maron.
      Don’t gang up on Jay like this is the first you’ve ever heard about a shitty all black crowd and their shitty shitty taste.  Think of the people who booed Lauryn Hill at the Apollo. Are you really going to pretend that shit doesn’t exist?  What black shit do you attend?  Less than we did it sounds like to me.
      He’s talking about the people who made Tyler Perry huge.  Not you. Unless that’s you. In which case I’m impressed that you managed to get through a whole sentence without mentioning church or a bbq or spelling any of the words with numbers.

“Ralphie May gets it.”  Shut up you asshole. Why, because he dresses like a wigger and is at high risk for diabetes?  By the way I say wigger.  I’m not saying Whafrican American.

kurt metzger March 13, 2012 at 12:11 pm

Actually I should probably listen to the podcast before I get all gassed up like this.  I just have a knee-jerk reaction to pc bullshit.  You have to understand how disappointing this is because I often depend on black audience to be the cool ones who don’t get offended, now that alt comedy has created a subspecies of white guilt, borderline autistic hipster crowds.

kurt metzger March 13, 2012 at 12:44 pm

True story, my second time at the Laff House in Philly, a guy in the front row pulled a gun out of his track pants, put it on the table and told the host “You betta be funny muthuhfucka” and they had to stop the show so cops could drag this imbecile out.  It ended up being fine, though,  because half the crowd showed up late anyway.  Not making a joke.  One time in Atlantic City I watched both Jay and Kevin Hart get pegged by chicken wings. Also many of the shows were run by a guy in a purple zoot suit who would try to fuck you out of your money like he was Big Red from The Five Heartbeats.  I have personally watched Jay have to fist-fight that guy. You have a lot of fucking nerve saying any shit about Jay.

Jim March 21, 2012 at 7:48 pm

I personally thought that this episode was great.  People above seem to have their panties in a knot.  He wasn’t talking about all black folks, so stop making it out to be that way.  I hate the holier than thou types who apparently frequent the WTF message boards.
