That’s Not Funny: 10 Comedians Whose Offensive Jokes Crossed The Line

Rebel Wilson

Recently, on the MTV’s VMAs, the Pitch Perfect” star got the chance to announce the winner of the Best Hip Hop video, which ended up being Nicki Minaj. Rebel was wearing a police uniform, that she then ripped off to reveal a shirt that read, “F*ck the stripper police.” And with a statement that bold, of course she had to explain.

Rebel said, “A lot of people have problem with the police, but I really hate police strippers. You guys know what I’m talking about. They come to your house, you think you’re getting arrested, and you just get a lap dance that is usually uninspired! I hired police stripper for my grandma’s 80th, and he wouldn’t even feel her up…. I hate this injustice, hence the shirt.”

#BlackLivesMatter activist, Deray McKesson quickly stepped in, explaining why the joke missed the mark. “Police violence isn’t a joke, as the deaths of #TamirRice, #RekiaBoyd, #FreddieGray, #MikeBrown, & #MyaHall remind us.” Then he simply asked, “When’s the last time you heard a Holocaust, Sandy Hook, or Columbine joke at an awards show? Exactly.” Let the church say, AMEN! We haven’t heard those type of jokes at awards shows because it’s far too sensitive to be funny.
