Video Transcript

"I want to talk to you about and ultra huge no no when it comes to using humor. Unless you are a world renowned famous extremely largely paid comedienne which I don't think you are, I'm not, you have to be religious about what I am going to tell you. No jokes about religion. No jokes about sexual orientation. No jokes about gender. No jokes, especially, about ethnic difference any of those topics; you run a huge risk of offending someone. Any kind of sexual minority, women, men, black, white, different colors, Africans, you know whatever it is, any of those areas you want to stay away from in all of your jokes, in all of your stories, in all of your anecdotes. It's just too great of a risk and it is socially unacceptable."
