Patton Oswalt (and other comedians) Defend Daniel Tosh


In the wake of a female audience member accusing Daniel Tosh of making a rape joke at her expense, comedians have taken to Twitter to comment on the controversy.

While numerous comedy fans and professionals have tweeted messages condemning Tosh's response to the female heckler, some comedy figures, including Jim Norton, Louis C.K. and Opie of The Opie & Anthony Show, have expressed support for Tosh and for a comedians' right to speak uncensored.

Dane Cook, who performed at The Laugh Factory on the same night as Tosh, had a darker message: easily offended people should kill themselves.








Not familiar with Anthony Jeselnik but his tweet was the worst I've seen.

Norton made my favorite series of tweets on this subject (in the sense that they were so ridiculous and... nonsensical, you just had to laugh):

Does he think he's making a valid point here?

Sounds dumb as fuck and I like Norton.

Actors don't write their scripts, comedians (hopefully) write their own acts.

But the actors choose to be in the film and say the lines that were written.

This guy is a dumb ass who truly believes he has a valid stand point. Embarrassing.

okay but like
in movies about rapists, it is very obvious that the rapists are villains. the actors are aware that they are portraying horrible actions done by horrible people.
when daniel tosh says "it would be funny if five guys raped you right now" he's being a fucking disgusting person and oh my god i can't even finish this sentence. i'm so angry.

Lol, plenty of people tried explaining the very obvious difference, but he was just not having anything resembling sense come near him tbh.
