It wasn't a joke though, it wasn't even part of his 'routine' he just couldn't handle himself and blew up on someone like a retard for no reason.

Not to mention that he was a terrible comedian in general who unfortunately had the public's eye because of a sub-par TV show bearing his name. Even other comedians have been saying (before this whole debacle) that he's a douchebag first and a comedian second in that he's the kind of guy who's format pisses people off first and makes them laugh second.

I wish people would stop acting like he speaks for or even represents the stand-up/comedy community/industry.
