Mark Normand expresses that audience members who get easily offended at comedy sets are choosing an unhappy way to live compared to those who can laugh at dark subject matter.

“Here's what you got to remember at the end of the day, we'll have better lives cuz we get to laugh at all this horrific [ __ ] whereas they go, mhm. Like, what a horrible brain to go, "That sucks." And we get to go, "That's great."”

Bert Kreischer believes that comedy is a valuable tool for coping with personal trauma and difficult life experiences.

“So, it's been a lot and if I didn't laugh through it like sitting in the hospital seriously with comic friends of mine and just laughing about [ __ ] and making even a joke out of it. I mean, you have you can't I just I wouldn't be able to function.”

Jessica Kirson suggests that comedians who do not know how to craft jokes are the most likely to become offended by other comedians' work.

“I think it's comics that don't know how to do comedy. Those are the ones that get the most offended. It's the ones that don't know how to do comedy. Can't write a joke.”

Hasan believes that white men are the most overrepresented demographic within the stand-up comedy field.

“when I think of like a comedian the image that comes to my mind is literally a white dude like what are we talking about it's just like the most over represented group in a entire field”
