Here we go again - What CAN I joke about? Comedian cancels university show after students force him to sign 'behaviour contract' banning sexism, classism, ageism, ableism, transphobia... plus SEVEN other ‘isms’

by Guest Wed Dec 12, 2018 7:11 am

A comedian has pulled out of a student charity event after being asked to sign a contract banning him from being offensive about almost anything. Konstantin Kisin was sent a 'behavioural agreement form' which stopped him telling jokes which were not 'respectful and kind'.

The form stated: 'By signing this contract, you are agreeing to our no-tolerance policy with regards to racism, sexism, classism, ageism, ableism, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia or anti-religion or anti-atheism.'Student leaders said the ban was necessary to preserve the event as a 'safe space' and a place for 'joy, love, and acceptance'.

But Mr Kisin, 35, who was born in the Soviet Union, said the demand amounted to a 'threat to freedom of speech' and pulled out.

The fundraising event, scheduled for January 23, is organised by the Unicef On Campus society at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), part of the University of London.

Oberlin University in Ohio used to have a policy: if students wish to kiss, pet or whatever, they must first sign a written contract of consent and file it with the records department.

Not many dates at Oberlin. Evil or Very Mad

Yeah, bloody worrying thought, Nicko. But we mustn't forget that in the 1930's the Oxford Union voted overwhelmingly that "...this house will in no circumstances fight for its King and Country..." - and that many of those those self same students went on to do exactly that during WW2, often with great bravery at the cost of their own lives.

'I grew up under the Soviet Union. When I saw this letter, basically telling me what I could and couldn't say, I thought this was precisely the kind of letter a comic would have been sent there.'

The SOAS student union said it 'does not require external speakers to sign any form of contract or behavioural agreement'.

A spokesman said the contract had been drawn up by the Unicef On Campus society without consultation with the student union, and the society had been 'over-zealous' in its interpretation of Charity Commission guidelines.

The rules stated: 'NewsFix does not tolerate words or imagery intentionally and maliciously denigrating people of different races, nationalities, sexual orientations, religious or other beliefs, etc.'.

They cannot comprehend that although one might chuckle at a joke involving a so called stereotype 1)those stereotypes actually exist And 2) doing so does NOT mean you "hate" or even mildly dislike those who are the target. With almost every stereotype that exists I bet i can truthfully say, "know what...I know someone exactly like that.

And rightyism? Robust, ape-like creatures dragging knuckles on the ground. The purpose of life for them is a one-dimensional selfishness. More bananas…store them on a pile, while you reach for more and more. Get ‘em while they are green. They last longer.

But the knuckledraggers don’t believe in equality. They don’t believe in fairness. They achieve their goals, not by hard work, or by being smarter, but by moving the goal posts. They bend the rules…sometimes break them. Rules are for smucks, blacks and Hispanics. Voter suppression? Jim Crow laws? Gerrymandering? It’s the shifting of goals in the background, that really makes our delightful, white supremacy paradise.

But let them be cheated out of an ounce of fairness themselves, like the EU, and they whine and moan in great pain. Here we go again - What CAN I joke about?

Manning could certainly piss take Fred. I personally think he went too far, but I saw him live quite a few times (not by choice but because he appeared at a couple of cabaret clubs I worked in) and I think he could border on being cruel to members in the audience....who obviously had no right or reply as he had the mike.

And the character of Alf was of course a stereotype, yep I knoe somebody just like him. The perpetually miserable old grump, only happy when they got something to whinge about.

Both of those jokes about Anne Frank were pretty offensive tbh. Those who "laugh at everything" should expect to be pulled up for it if others find it offensive.

I would not go and see a stand-up comedian anyway. The only one I ever really liked was Frankie Howerd. As for Billy Connelly, I don't know how his career survived that awful "joke" he made about Ken Bigley.

Sorry, but what exactly is funny about what she said?

She is using the holocaust for shock humour and at odds, to understand what is funny about blaming Jews for what happens to them. To then say it was dumb for Anne Frank to hide from the Nazi's

You have me lost as to how that is even a joke?

It sounds more like something the Far right would say.

well that kind of proves the point of not being able to monitor humour didge. each to their own and all that.

only recently i saw a clip of Jim davidson talking about the ''special olympics''
very cruel but extremely funny

and last night i was showing my eldest son old clips of alf garnet talking about ''your average coon''

both of these would be considered dreadful people by the governments Ministry of Humour (or lack thereof) but they were still considered screamingly funny

I am not questioning any of that Gelico

I am simple trying to grasp what in fact some would see in what Eddie said, as being funny?

Where is the joke line within that

How is hiding in the attic (it was the annex by the way) from the Nazi's causing her own problems by being Jewish?

I think some things based around horrific events in history have no humour about them.

I mean how do you think Ben would react to a joke that featured African Americans being lynched?

Or kids dying of aids in Africa and Asia?

Again I doubt I would find any such joke at all funny and would no doubt be critical of such jokes

I understand people like to use shock humour, and maybe I am missing something here, but why do so?

I mean seriously Gelico, how many people do you think would have laughed at Eddies joke, that were not antisemitic?

but that's my point didge. you didn't find it funny and that's ok

like some would say about Jim Davidson, ''what's funny about that?''

like some would say about Alf Garnet, ''what's funny about that''?

or Frankie Boyle or any other comedian

or like that time when Ben said that in his experience ''9 year old girls can't take a punch''

some would say ''what's funny about that?'' but it had me cackling for ages

we are all different, we all find different things funny,,,,,,and that's ok

I am simple trying to grasp what in fact some would see in what Eddie said, as being funny?

but that's my point didge. you didn't find it funny and that's ok

like some would say about Jim Davidson, ''what's funny about that?''

like some would say about Alf Garnet, ''what's funny about that''?

I know we are all different Gelico

Have no issue with that what so ever and agree on your points

But can you even see the joke in what she said?

Can anyone?

That is what I want to understand how it could be funny to someone, so I can understand and not react stupidly as I did at the time

I am trying to understand here and learn

Ben claims it was funny and I am just simple asking to explain the joke

Can you help me here understand what is meant to be the joke part of the joke itself?

I am being serious here, because I simple failed to see any punchline off this

I know some Jewish comedians make jokes based off the holocaust but they are normally actually funny and based from their Jewish perspective

i dont know what the joke was nor how you reacted but that's irrelevant

all you need to understand is that it is perfectly ok for you to not find something funny, just as it's perfectly ok for someone else to find that same thing funny. like i said each to their own.

just because you didn't find it funny doesn't mean you are deficient in some way and you shouldnt feel the need to try and understand and learn. you didn't find it funny and you don't need to justify that in any way

but it proves that humour can't be monitored and put into categories because as individuals that would make humour impossible, hence that comedian guy cancelling due to the contract.

it certainly shouldn't be criminalised which it is now #nazipug
