In the age of social media, nearly every day brings a new eruption of outrage. While people have always found something to be offended by, their ability to organize a groundswell of opposition to – and public censure of – their offender has never been more powerful. Today we're all one clumsy joke away from public ruin. Can We Take A Joke? offers a thought-provoking and wry exploration of outrage culture through the lens of stand-up comedy, with notables like Gilbert Gottfried, Penn Jillette, Lisa Lampanelli, and Adam Carolla detailing its stifling impact on comedy and the exchange of ideas. What will the future will be like if we can't learn how to take a joke?

...the answer is no. Good investigation into cancel culture that ends up being another Lenny Bruce love fest (while barely discussing Carlin's contributions). Ultimately, it doesn't cover the main topic well enough, but what is here is fine...just not to the depth the subject truly deserves.

An interesting examination of the intersection between comedy, social media, crowd behaviour and offence. If you are open to the principle of comedy challenging your own views, it's an interesting thought peice. But it'll probably offend some viewers...
