AMERICAN IGNORANCE AND THE RACIAL INSULT

BARAK OBAMA'S MIDDLE FINGER MOVE

SO I WAS RECENTLY CURSED OUT, DEGRADED AND AHH YES, INSULTED FOR SUBSCRIBING TO SOMEONE’S BLOG. PRETTY SILLY ONE WOULD THINK, AS IN THIS DAY AND AGE WE ARE ALL SUBSCRIBING TO A BLOG OR A WEBSITE TO MAKE IT EASIER. YOU DON’T HAVE TO REMEMBER THE URL, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BOOKMARK THE PAGE ON YOUR BROWSER, YOU GET NEW POST NOTIFICATIONS SENT TO YOUR PHONE, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH…….

BUT THE BACK STORY AS STUPID AS IT IS AND THE PERVERBIAL INSULTS; I WAS CALLED A FAT BITCH (AS IF HAVEN’T NOTICED IN THE PAST 10 YEARS THAT I’M NOT SKINNY) WAS NOT AS INTRIGUING AS THE LACK OF CREATIVITY IN THE INSULT.  I BEGAN TO WONDER IF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, ANTI BULLIING CAMPAIGNS AND PASSIVE AGGRESSIVENESS HAS GIVEN THE AMERICAN COMEDIAN LESS OF A PLATFORM TO BE ETHNICALLY ENTERTAINING.

REMEMBER THE PLAYGROUND ANTICS OF THE AVERAGE SCHOOL KID.  IN MY DAY AND AGE IT WAS CALLED “BREAKIN ON SOMEONE” FOR MY DAD, “PLAYING THE DOZENS; WHERE WE USED TO STAND AROUND AND WATCH 2 KIDS TALK ABOUT EACH OTHER LIKE DOGS. STAND ON THE PLAYGROUND, OR THE STREET CORNER, THE BASKETBALL COURT AND WATCH AN EXCHANGE OF INSULTS. MTV GAVE US “YO MOMMA” UNTIL WE GOT OLDER AND THE “DOZENS” BECAME GOSSIP.  WORK, LIFE AND CHILDREN CONVERTED US FROM SCHOOL YARD LANGUAGE HOLLIGANS, TO SECRET GOSSIPS WHERE WE COULD NO LONGER SPEW THE INSULT FACE TO FACE, AN OPPONENTS FEELINGS NEEDED TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION AND THEREFORE THE INSULTS DISCLOSED ONLY TO YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS.

MICHAEL VICK'S DOUBLE DUTY

BUT DIG A LITTLE DEEPER AND SUDDENLY POLITICAL CORRECTNESS AND ETHNIC DIVERSITY KIND OF PLAY A ROLE IN THE CREATION OF THE PERFECT RACIAL INSULT. THE AMERICAN IDEA OF RACE WENT FROM 3 BASIC CATEGORIZATIONS TO SEVERAL “SUB-CATEGORIES” AND “NEW RACES” OF PEOPLE, PROBABLY TAKING IT LONGER TO DEVELOP THE PERFECT INSULT.  WE WENT FROM “NIGGER”, “CRACKER” AND “CHINK” TO WHOLE NEW DISTINCTIONS.  OF COURSE THERE WERE ALWAYS “SUB-CATEGORIES” FOR THE HISPANIC AND THE AMERICAN INDIAN BUT NOW IT’S OBVIOUS THAT GEOGRAPHY CAN PLAY A ROLE IN ANY INSULT, AND YOU HAVE TO THINK REALLY HARD AND LONG TO BE CREATIVE.

NOW MEN IN MY OPONION HAVE ALWAYS GONE THE REAL EASY ROUTE FOR AN INSULT.  THE QUICKEST AND MOST HURTFUL YOUR INSULT IS, THE FASTER THE FIGHT BEGINS.  BUT WOMEN, WOMEN I HAVE TO SAY, CAN BE FAR MORE CREATIVE IN THE INSULT, IF THEY ARE SMART ENOUGH TO THINK ABOUT IT. WHAT’S A STANDARD IS THE WORD “BITCH”.  WHATEVER THE INSULT, HOWEVER LONG IT IS, IT WILL ALWAYS END WITH THAT WORD. 

PICTURE THIS: 


WELCOME TO NEW YORK NIGHTLIFE.  A HAPPY FRIDAY NIGHT WITH YOUR FRIENDS IN THE HOTTEST CLUB, DANCING AND DRINKING.  IT’S TIME TO TAKE A BREAK FROM THE FUN AND MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE LADIES ROOM.  AN OVERCROWDED NIGHTMARE WITH THE SMALLEST SINK AREA AND ONE LONG MIRROR. IN YOUR WAY IS A MULTICULTURAL HODGEPODGE OF DRUNKEN BIMBOS SWEATY AND SWAYING TRYING TO MAINTAIN THEIR COMPOSURE WHILE REFRESHING THEIR MAKEUP. YOU ARE THERE TO DO THE SAME, WHEN SUDDENLY ANOTHER DRUNKEN BIMBO RUNS RIGHT INTO YOU WHILE EXITING THE BATHROOM STALL AND SPILLS YOUR PURSE ALL OVER THE FILTHY FLOOR. SHE STAGGERS AWAY WITHOUT SAYING EXCUSE ME.   FAITHFULLY THE INSULTS FLOW TO MIND, BUT IN THIS MELTING POT, WE HAVE TO BE A LITTLE MORE CREATIVE:


FOR THE SNOBBY INDAIN GRIL:
“YOU BRACELET WEARING, HENNA STAINED BITCH! HURRY UP AND GO BACK TO BOLLYWOOD AND GET YOUR MARRIAGE ARRANGED SO WE CAN HAVE MORE ROOM IN THE BATHROOM!”


FOR THE OVER FANCY, BADLY DRESSED CARIBBEAN GIRL:
“YOU SHACK SHAKING BITCH! YOU KNOW YOU ARE ONLY IN THIS COUNTRY BECAUSE YOUR HOUSE BLEW AWAY IN THE LAST HURRICANE!”

FOR THE VODKA SOAKED EASTERN EUROPEAN GIRL:
“YOU MAIL ORDER BRIDE BITCH! STOP TELLING PEOPLE YOU’RE A MODEL/ACTRESS WHEN YOU KNOW YOU’RE A FULL TIME BISEXUAL PROSTITUTE!”

FOR THE DARK HAIRED PARISIAN FRENCH GIRL:
“YOU SILLY FRENCH BITCH! STOP TELLING PEOPLE YOU WERE BORN IN PARIS WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WERE BORN IN LEBANON! YOU BETTER GO HOME BEFORE YOUR DADDY FINDS YOU AND HONOR KILLS YOU STUPID ASS!”

THE SEXIEST FUCK YOU EVER!

YES, AS VULGAR AND IGNORANT AS IT MAY SEEM, ONE HAS TO ADMIT THAT AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER WE HAVE BEEN ANGRY ENOUGH FOR THE OCCASIONAL RACIAL SLUR. DO WE CONDONE IT? WELL OF COURSE NOT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IF WE DON’T LAUGH AT THE STEREOTYPES, IF WE KEEP THEM SILENT, WE WOULD NEVER KNOW THAT THEY WERE THERE.

Learn why Manhattan Comedy School beats the competition

Faculty

Our faculty members are all active, successful headliners with thriving careers. No other comedy school can offer the same caliber of teachers, with credits including HBO and Comedy Central specials, not to mention recent David Letterman and Craig Ferguson appearances. Clearly, they don't have to teach—but they do for us. And the old cliché that they go the extra mile really applies here. They answer your e-mails, extend class time when you need it, give you personal attention—everything it takes to make sure you're ready to hit the stage after six weeks.

Supportive Comedy Community

Manhattan Comedy School offers our students much more than just a class. You'll also benefit from a supportive comedy community. That includes private open mics where you have the luxury of performing—and failing—in a safe and supportive environment. Refine and tweak your set with quality stage time during New Talent shows. And you can update your DVD, which many of our students use to get work when they're ready.

See Comedy for Free or at Huge Discounts

We offer our former students both free shows and huge discounts on weekend shows on a regular basis. Bring your friends and they'll receive the same discount. Many Friday and Saturday headliners at Gotham include the biggest names in comedy!

Free Workshops/Seminars

We offer occasional free workshops and seminars to our students to help you advance your career.

Testimonials

We are very proud to have the endorsements of comedians Lewis Black, a comedy legend, and Jim Gaffigan, a future comedy legend. Their testimonials speak for themselves.

Locations

Our classes are held in midtown; graduation shows are held on the stage at 

at Gotham Comedy Club in New York City.

ANDREW LAWRENCE

Andrew Lawrence is a stand up comedian made for the grind of New York City.  With his personal braggadocio and fearless comedic style, he has been entertaining audiences of all sizes.  With a no-holds-barred mouth and an attitude that can be easily described as aggressive, Andrew has been taking on the New York Comedy scene since early 2011 and has not looked back since.  Originally hailing from southern New Hampshire and Boston, Massachusetts, he brings a unique perspective to the city and it's daily happenings.  Always hilarious and never mild, Andrew is always pushing his comedy further into the perverted, bizarre, and fantastic arenas of life.

Are Culture Related Comedy Bits Funny or Just Plain Racist?

Food for thought.........


I'm hosting our shows weekly and some of the funniest comedians are the one's who play the race card. At The Z Room, we've noticed through the months, has become very young and very jewish friendly, which I don't mind because some of the cutest young comedians I have seen have celebrated passover with pleasure.


But some night's I've noticed that the comedians that get the most laughs are Indian and Pakistani natives totally taking stabs fun of their families and culture.  Believe me it's hilarious and very well delivered and as far as I'm concerned nothing dispels the myth of a stereotype better than a good clean dig about yourself or your culture.


But is it necessary? Am I expected to make fat jokes using ghetto slag because I am African American? Does Ben Rosenfeld's bit with his mother's strong Russian accent work because he's expected to do it.  


Tell us what you think. Where do we draw the line between what is funny and what is just plain biggotted?

COMEDIAN HIGHLIGHT

KORETTA GRAY

Koretta Gray decided to pursue stand-up comedy after seeing a bad comedy sketch with a well-known female comic and a really sexy recording artist.  Born and raised in Detroit, MI, Koretta was very shy as a kid and until several months ago when she grabbed the mic at a coffeehouse where she had her stand-up comic debut.  She was pulled off that church stage as well as another the next month b/c of her questionable “church” sets but those experiences helped her to say what’s really on her mind.  So what’s really on her mind?  “Nothing much” she says.  “Oh, there is one thing…church people don’t like sodomy jokes,” but she hopes you do and if you don’t…you’ve been warned.  Ms Gray has a BA in Communication Studies from the University of Michigan and is the producer/host of a weekly comedy show Usurper! A FREE Stand-Up Comedy Show in Brooklyn, NY.

COMEDIAN HIGHLIGHT

Nick Z

Often described as the “Wild Child” of comedy, Nick Z is sure to light up the room and set fires on any stage he hits. Nick Z is professionally trained in improv comedy at The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in NYC, which happens to be the home for all things comedy. Not only is he an amazing entertainer, but also a person you would want to know on a personal level. Conversations with Nick Z are filled with hilarious stories and anecdotes that you can easily identify with and take home for a small nominal fee of $ free ninety-nine.

At first sight, being so ruggedly handsome, he may seem like a quiet and shy individual, but do not let that fool you! His personality is actually quite the opposite. You’ll be left awe-struck by the many jokes that he so easily blurts out onstage and off, or his infamous female character “Stephanie”, a crazy, cynical, sexually-driven valley girl whom you never know what  “she” will say next. In fact, you may have even heard “Stephanie” and Nick himself on Jamie Foxx’s Sirius Satellite Radio Show, The FoxxHole.

The great thing about Nick Z’s stand up is how relative it is to just about anyone. You’ll surely find yourself at one of his performances saying, “Oh my God, I have definitely been in that kind of situation!”

If you don’t see Nick Z booked at your local comedy club, please contact them and request him to perform there. Nick Z is getting tired of doing his act door to door!

But no… really. Call them!

WHAT YOU MISSED!!!!

BILLY THE BILLIONAIRE 'LIVE' AT THE Z ROOM

JOKE OF THE WEEK

Never fart in a public place and try and blame it on a child. They will rat you out immediately!!

THE Z ROOM

The Z Room Comedy Lounge is the mastermind of 3 comics, VH1 Reality Celebrity Darra “Like Dat” Boyd, South Jersey Comedian & DJ Nick Z and NYC Comic “Big” Ben Rosenfeld.

The name “The Z Room” was endearingly named after Nick Z.  His difficult to pronounce last name made an easy platform for a show that would never be forgotten. Said Darra; “To many comedy shows have names you can’t remember.  The “Like Dat” Laugh Lounge was just to long!  So, I thought “The Z Room” was quick, easy, and simple to associate.  It didn’t matter who’s name was titling the show, we were all working hard to get it started and just wanted a name that people would not forget!” And so it began.

Darra’s marketing idea soared this new comedy show into new heights and made it one of the hottest New York City comedy open mics in under a year.

The Z Room’s mission? Comedy by us for us.  An open mic where rookie comedians can hone their skills, a place where veterans can try out new material and where the audience never knows what to expect. 

The Z Room is hosted by Darra “Like Dat” Boyd every Monday night in Murray Hill, where these 3 comics produce this free comedy show. Their patrons, The Pine Tree Lodge Bar & Grill offer drink specials the entire night and an awesome Caribbean cuisine.  Audience members can call the Pine Tree Lodge to reserve a table (For parties of 4 or more) close to the Yak’s head where the comedians so their set. Prospective talent can email The Z Room to book a spot. The show starts at 9pm and gets pretty full before then, so don’t be late!
