Looking for Lenny Page #7
my people are sensitive.
You know what I mean?
I made up a saying.
"Sticks and stones
"may break my bones,
"but words--
except for n*gger--
will never hurt me."
As long as it's funny,
then it's okay.
Timing's everything.
And funny's funny,
Sexual or relig--
if it's funny, it's funny.
You can go totally racist,
and say something
but yet all of a sudden,
it's hilarious
when it comes out
of your mouth.
That's an art
in its own,
to see Lisa lampanelli
up on stage,
ranting and raving
about every race.
Now I got to do
a "hispangic" joke
to even things out.
What's your real name, sir?
[Inaudible]
John? Juan.
Quit fronting.
[Audience laughs]
How many "hispangics"
does it take to clean
a bathroom?
None.
That's a n*gger's job.
[Audience screams,
cheers]
My comedy, you know, I insult
everybody, you know.
Nobody is exempt,
it's equal opportunity.
But I know in my heart,
some people don't get it,
so I'm like "whatever."
But all I'm saying,
if you go to the n-word,
and you go to racial sh*t
right off the bat,
then there must be something
in there that made you do it.
Like when people
get drunk
and then they say,
"but I was drunk,"
it's like,
no, you called me a whore
when you were drunk
and you hit me in the clit
with a shovel when you--
you know, you must have that
in you.
What we've seen controversy
about in my opinion,
is bad jokes.
You see, to me, there's no
controversy
that Michael Richards
was screaming the word "n*gger."
That's not really
controversy to me.
The controversy is that
he didn't have a punch line.
We're in nuremberg
and they're trying people
for comedy crimes.
There was nothing loveable
about him
when he went off
on a racist rant onstage
at a comedy club
in Los Angeles
over the weekend.
I don't get it.
It amazes me
to something like that.
It was such a surprise
to find out
that Kramer
was a racist.
Like there was no signs
of it, there were no hints.
Like I started watching
old seinfelds
for just any sort
of clue, you know,
as if there would
be like a racist
Seinfeld episode.
As if there'd be an episode
that was like...
[Sings Seinfeld theme]
Hey, Jerry.
Hi, Kramer.
You know who just moved
into the building?
An n-word.
Oh, no, there's an n-word
in the building.
We can't have an n-word
in the building,
what are we going to do?
I don't know, Jerry.
I'm scared.
shortly after that.
And I said, "wow, I'm sure
to Michael Richards."
And she goes, "oh, yeah."
And I said, "well, he got banned
