I'm sure you've heard all about the recent Michael Richards fiasco. I'm afraid that was just the start of it all. He's gone and done it again:

Seriously though, what do you all think of this situation? If you haven't seen his apology on Letterman, check it out here:

I don't get why gadzook's thread was closed. Yeah they're about the same guy but that was a clip from a movie and he had a very real, very weird clip from letterman in a forum about tv. Maybe I'm missin something here but that's kinda odd.

Edit: Oh. There ya go.

Closed it so we can all talk about it here in the main forum for those people who don't usually visit the movies forum. That's why I linked to it from here and included the letterman clip.

It's bummin' me out, man.

I've loved Richards since he was on "Fridays" a HORRIBLE sketch comedy show valuable only for showcasing Richards way back when, and for a prank Andy Kaufman staged with Richards assistance.

The mental pressure of Stand-up is not to be underestimated. When I was frequenting the clubs in the eighties, I saw more than one comic totally loose it and freak out.

That being said, it's kind of horrible what came bubbling up out of his psyche when he did freak out.

Nowhere NEAR as funny as Mel Gibson.

Why can't a white guy call a black guy a disreputable person of African-American descent?

It doesn't bother me that much. But he should have known better. I saw a similar situation at our own Comedy Club a few months ago. A Black guy was attempting to heckle the opening act, and failed miserably at it.. The comedian then starts making racial jokes, and telling the dude he isn't funny. We were rolling on the floor, he completely owned the heckler. BUT, he never once stooped to using the N word. There is a big difference between racial humour, and racial slurs. It's something Dave Chappelle had a great understanding of.

The other day one of Chris Rock's live shows was on tv here, he was heckled and his response was "Shut up, ******".

If Michael Richards had said 'Asshole' instead, would there be this outcry, what if the heckler had been white...?

I find the idea of banned words for only some people offensive.

I do not agree that Michael Richards was right in his tirade, however.

Okay, I believe a white comedian could, theoretically, call someone ****** and get away with it IF, IF, IF he makes it funny, which is hard enough.

But Richards wasn't making much of an effort to be funny. He'd lost it. Being in the audience when a comic looses it on the audience is pretty uncomfortable to begin with, and the slurs combine with the uncomfirtable, unfunny awfullness of the moment and make a horrible stew.

Hey guys, just so you know, I've read 14 pages of debate on this issue on another message board, so why don't we skip it and just have fun

seriously I love that this happened. Its so great, waiting for him to come on letterman must've been how my mom felt waiting for the beatles to come on ed sullivan. I like to think I wasn't alone in this, and that there was not a single crime commited durring the broadcast.

Stop laughing, it's not funny

Liked I said in my cancelled thread, this is the best moment in my television history. The only thing I can compare it to was Andy Kaufman on Fridays which just so happened to have Richards in it.

Was that the incident in Man on the Moon when Andy totally breaks the fourth wall, and the actors are all WTF?

Yes.

Supposedly Richards was in on that one, but I've seen some behind the scenes stuff of Richards being a real dick when people mess up so I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't.
