I hate when someone just missed a perfect setup. I'm not saying shock value is the only type of humor - it's clearly not - but there was a perfect layup right after "and people who hate gays and trans. That, by the way, that one confuses me. Listen, if you got the free time to be pissed at people you don't know, living their life the way they want to..." the follow up is to go more offensive, not cucked. "If you're got time to hate gays...why aren't you hating blacks/Jews/whatever?" At least that's an actual joke, even if it's just "LOL I'm being offensive, guys!" Or "women are worse than gays" or something edgy like that. At least you're subverting expectations and giving shock value. At least the joke actually goes somewhere.
I'm confused how this shit has 200k view, 16k upvotes, and basically no downvotes. I guess he's cultivated a very specific audience; wokescolds with no sense of humor.

Titus has had a cult following ever since his show got cancelled early, and followed by being one of the biggest standup specials on Comedy Central back during its peak. His audience predates the modern iteration of Woke and they are far more culty and gay than simple political sycophants.

Doug Stanhope used to do bits like that.
