What Can We Take a Joke? Is About
The documentary argues about how quickly outrage now organises itself in the age of social media, and it does so through stand up comedy. Its claim is this: people have always found something to be offended by, but never before has it been this easy for the offended party to name a target and mount a collective response, and today anyone can lose their standing over a single clumsy joke. Gilbert Gottfried, Penn Jillette, Lisa Lampanelli and Adam Carolla describe what they see as the effect on comedy and on the exchange of ideas. The account plainly takes a side and does not give the opposing view the same room; it is worth watching with that in mind. Ted Balaker’s seventy four minute documentary was completed in 2016.
