Comedian Howie Mandel — who is not exactly known for edgy humor — took a swipe at woke attacks on comedians and comedy and insisted that comedy hurts no one.podcast this week and told host Mike Binder that woke attacks on comedy are an attack on the art of comedy itself.
“If you’re a painter you shouldn’t say, ‘You can paint anything you want, but don’t use black, don’t use any yellows, and it’s really not right to use blue.’ Art suffers, and there isn’t anything we shouldn’t talk about,” he explained.“All humor comes out of darkness. That’s why the Tragedy and Comedy masks are so close together,” he said. “If you’re a little kid and you go to the circus, you’re laughing at a clown falling down.
The comedian, who is well-known for suffering with OCD, went on to say that comedy is a lifeline for him. “There is a thin line between making myself laugh … and being just crushed by darkness,” he said. “You don’t have to laugh at the joke. You don’t have to like the joke. You don’t even have to get the joke. You’re going to remove his livelihood … for this joke that you don’t like, that isn’t even pointed at one particular person,” Mandel exclaimed.Despite all this, though, Mandel also said that he thinks the woke are starting to lose their power.
