The mark of a great comic, to make people laugh while also making them at times uncomfortable.

I believe the best comedy (and literature, art, music) makes us question assumptions and beliefs.

I disagree with much of what he says but made me really think. And laugh!

There are quite a few comidians pushing back on PC culture. You see some articles claiming they weren't funny or bombed, but ratings would suggest just the opposite.

Kind of the whole point of what most comedians do. People are welcome to not watch them if they don't like their schtick.
