It wasn't just tired-arse bad trans humour, it was tired-arse bad humour. I got 17 minutes in before I had to stop - I got past the offensive jokes, and then I was stuck listening to jokes other comedians were telling 20 years ago. If I'd kept listening, I'm sure he eventually would've made a joke about airline food.

He's been smoking so much weed the last 20 years the world passed him by.

I've been smoking weed for 20 years and I'm not a homophobic, ableist piece of shit and I certainly wouldn't use a Netflix platform to tell bigoted jokes. So I don't think it's the weed. It could be that he's just an asshole.
