So, slap on some headphones and listen to Godfrey’s epic destruction of hecklers who were, GASP, complaining about rape jokes. Just do it.
Now. Where’s the outrage? Where’re the complaints? I wish to god we had video comparing this and the Tosh incident. I think it’d be instructive. For the record: I think Godfrey’s totally in the right. But he’s actually making a violent threat here, something Daniel Tosh most certainly was not. And I don’t see word one. I didn’t see boo when this was posted last year. Because Godfrey’s not popular enough? Perhaps. Or maybe—just maybe—the Internet got a little bored and needed a two minutes hate. And who better to hate than the dude with seven figure Twitter followers and a relatively popular show on Comedy Central?
Hm.
