Because saying "I got manipulated by a grifter" and then explaining why doesn't have the same effect. Having a spouse is relatable. Most people are invested and then it switches. That's what most comedy is.
Stand ups generally should have artistic freedom.
The same joke could have been made with anything else. A boss, a friend, who cares.
And yeah, the artistic freedom is what people also use to defend Ricky Gervais when he spends 10 minutes saying that kids who get raped enjoy it, that's a very bad sign when you end up having to resort to that argument to defend a joke.
I don't agree with you
I do agree with you
