That’s Not Funny: 10 Comedians Whose Offensive Jokes Crossed The Line
Amy Poehler
It’s hard to get upset with someone like Poehler who is committed to women winning especially with her Smart Girls movement, which is an online community devoted to helping women harness their intelligence, imagination and curiosity. But as the executive producer of the new Hulu series “Difficult People,” I can’t help but wonder if she had any say in the disgusting joke creator Julie Klausner’s character (she plays a wannabe comedy writer named Julie) posted on Twitter, “I can’t wait for Blue Ivy to be old enough for R. Kelly to piss on her.”
This crude joke makes Beyonce and Jay Z’s three-year-old, Blue Ivy the butt of something that’s not even funny. And they even rely on it throughout the episode, referencing it several times. Not funny. No one liked it on the show or in real life and that’s mostly because there’s nothing funny about peeing on a baby, no matter who that baby’s parents are.
