@23codez 4 года назад

His timing sucks. I think that's why people didn't laugh. Great joke, but the timing was just awful

@a7hazen 3 года назад

@@23codez It's a second language issue. His English is impeccable and his accent is very slight, but I think it's more about the inflection than timing. The way it was delivered the "to prove a point" comes off as "explaining the joke" (which makes a joke less funny) rather than being part of the punchline, which is the crux of any joke. If it the inflection was different in the delivery, it would have landed differently. It was a very funny joke and, unfortunately, I think the "to prove a point" may have even sailed over most of the audience's heads as "shooting him proves my argument in favor of gun control." Our society as a whole is not great at nuance.

As someone who lives in spokane that Is a very accurate description of it. The boarder portal thing really was happening for a while here, they would do searches of busses and other public places and ask people for their papers. Their ended up being a few Facebook pages dedicated to tracking their movements and posting about it so that people could avoid border patrol. Was incredibly heartbreaking to see happening in your own city.
