  • The truth is, this is what real comedy is. Comedy is the unexpected. This joke isn't racist in any way except it implies "God" as a racist which is totally "unexpected". This one joke will show you the difference in "wit" and "Comedy". One is dismissive, and another is an art. If you laughed without shock, you don't have to worry about being a racist... you're not. If you were shocked, then you need to re-examine yourself.

  • @tenorfab I would assume sarcasm is possible but I don't think of God as being sarcastic. I believe the joke would be even more funny if I thought of Him in that manner. I mean, either way I laughed so perhaps both of our observations are correct... not that there is a right or wrong answer.

  • @kyoukasuigetsu211 Because I can and I'm able... Why the hell do you care?

  • @NishaMarquise srsly, why the hell are you always quoting yourself?

  • @NishaMarquise What if God was just being sarcastic??

  • I think the joke was funny because it humanizes God, the great I AM, by stripping Him of the power we associate Him with having. It's not about the choice words (nigga and bat) or those words' meanings, but the fact that God would actually fix His lips to say something of that nature to not only an angel, but a child. Absolutely absurd yet hilarious! Or rather, absolutely absurd thus hilarious!!

  • That was absolute genius. The set up of these three jokes, as well as the way she controlled, manipulated, and conducted the audience through this situation, was perfection. She's a true comedian and a truly gifted speaker. This is the first time I've experienced a comedian make a joke specifically to analyze the reaction of the audience and make a statement on society through that reaction.

    Whoopi Goldberg, everyone.

  • To me, its funnier if God says "Nah nigga, you a bat"...nah instead of no, nigga instead of nigger, and you instead of you're. So she did it mostly properly.

  • i like the way she says it. that's the funny

  • haha i love her
