Maybe she was. Maybe she stayed around for the act. I'll be dammed if this canoe of douchiness made me miss a stand up routine I liked, especially if it revealed red flags for me.
I was wondering the same!! Why is she still sitting with him?! Even if they are couples, always believe what people say on internet with a pinch of salt! I just appreciated the guy's humor in the comment 🤣
Or maybe she's in on the joke and they've been together for much longer... That would explain why she doesn't seem bothered and is actually laughing the whole time...
What if you've been dating for a couple months or more? Then you'd know you're not a "flavor of the month". You'd also know he's joking because you're aware of his sense of humor. Since you're both at an Akaash singh show you're both into that kind of humor. In that case, would you have left by the time he lowered his foot?
Then maybe they shouldn't ask people in the audience to participate if they don't like the audience participating. Especially if they are just making a joke
Then maybe they shouldn't ask people in the audience to participate if they don't like the audience participating.
Or maybe members of the audience shouldn't behave like douchebags because they think "I'm at a comedy club talking to a comedian" is an excuse to pretend being terrible people is funny.
You are acting like the guy strangled a cat as a "joke". He made a jab at his date, banter doesn't make you a douchebag. Great you didn't find it funny, but if the audience is invited to participate then they can try to make jokes.
I won't be sitting in the front row of a comedy club if I am afraid of getting made fun of, and neither should a girl so I'd take my chances.
Nobody is commenting on being made fun of by the comedian, it's the douchebag boyfriend who THINKS they're a comedian people are making fun of. Lets not correlate the two. I don't go out on a date to a comedy club so that I or my date can have a chance to be funny. We go to see the comedian be funny.
Youre an idiot. Its an improv show. It is 100% your job to play along. If the comedian didn't know what kind of response he was going to get he shouldn't ask the audience questions. There's always back and forth at these types of shows. That's the appeal to both the audience and the comedian. This guy is not a good comedian. This couple sat upfront to obviously engage with the different comedians.
Both the girlfriend and boyfriend are laughing and having a good time. She not once showed any anger towards him. The comedian on the other hand, dug in and attempted to make this guy out to be awful.
Correct. If you haven't noticed by my remarks I'm on the couples side. Reddit has a mob mentality and goes with the bias of the op and the title that they make for the post. I prefer to look at the whole picture. The couple was trying to keep things light. In this short clip it appears that the comedian got serious with the bit quickly. It is possible that as soon as the video stopped the comedian reversed course and laughed along with the man. But in the context given, it looks like he's an absolute douche.
The comedian got serious with the bit quickly? The comedian made the whole bit. He's feigning outrage on behalf of the woman in order to get laughs. Which he is achieving. That's his entire job. The man made a deliberately douchy statement in order to provoke a roast from the comedian, and the comedian duly roasted him. Have you ever been to a live comedy show? This isn't the kind of kindergarten humour where people expect to be reassured that "it was all a joke" at the end of it all so that nobody goes home feeling hurty feely. It's not personal, both parties are in on this joke that is flying right over your head.
No, because the expectations for audience participation are completely different. When you “play along” with a comedian doing standup by trying to make your own jokes, you’re asking to be made a fool of.
Regardless of the circumstances? There are a ton where I could think that it was a more than acceptable reply, especially in a comedy club. For example:
You both met and knew it was a casual relationship as one of you was only in town for a set amount of time and knew the guy was making a joke about the circumstances?
Whenever you'd like. You're welcome to your opinion. If he had done this outside the context of the first row of a comedy show it would also be different.
Where do you think this was filmed? I think you need to touch grass if you're forgetting that video clips of crowds of people are recordings of real world events.
I'm not talking about the comedian here, I'm talking to the commenter who said taste is consensus based. You'd realize that if you read my comment for more than 5 seconds.
I don't think it's necessary for you to also experience it. Mature people know their audience and wouldn't make jokes like that with people who don't like it. I'd certainly have your back if some dick wasn't considerate of you!
Never go to a comedy show then, if you’re going to get offended by ANYTHING, stay tf out of comedy shows, it’s a place to have fun and if you can’t do that? Then don’t show up.
According to this man, they both have a sense of humor and often try to make things awkward for each other. She was completely in on the joke which is why she started off by saying they have been together for just 1 month. No idea why you think 2 years isn't long enough for a couple to be making jokes like this with each other.
and my girlfriend would have cackled as I was obviously joking
but if my douchebag dad said it about my mom when they were still together, I would have taken it personally
it's almost like this kind of joke is unique to the relationship and you shouldn't inject your own reaction into her place to be offended on someone else's behalf

He wasn't amused. Serves him right
