Having seen Kevin Hart live, I'm not surprised.
It was incredibly depressing that his openers (his "Solo cup boys") made homophobic jokes. One in particular was about how the comedian would be disappointed if his son was gay because he couldn't take him to the strip club with him.
Sorry that people aren't receptive to shitty, bigoted jokes any more Kevin. Maybe you and Dave Chappelle can get together and make jokes about trans/gay people to empty audiences.
Or in terms that you're more familiar with, "you 'gon learn today!'
The premise could have worked if he switched it around and said that he was going to have to go to gay strip club or Chippendale's or something instead of being a complaint about not being able to go to his usual clubs. That would have made it supportive and accepting of his son while also highlighting his personal hangups.
The idea of going to a strip club is repulsive to me, going with my dad is even worse... Wtf kind of joke is that even
A joke about taking your adult children to a strip club is funny because of how weird it would be. Hart flubbed it by making his son's sexuality the punchline.
The original comment was talking about the openers for Kevin Hart, not Kevin Hart himself. So the punchline shouldn't have been made by Hart or about Hart's son.
Oh damn, I must have mixed that up because of Hart's bits about not wanting to have a gay son.
kevin hart was originally going to be in tropic thunder but he refused to play a gay character so he was dropped
And then he put on a dress.
when did he do that?

Yep, I was equally disappointed with the execution.
If your humor is based on punching down then fuck off, life is shitty enough as it is for most people without having a multi millionaire laughing at them.
Punching down can be funny.
Uh ya might want to look up the term 'hollywood elite', what it refers to, then pick another phrase. 'Overpaid egoists perpetually high on their own farts' is a good one
It means Jews.
World dominating government manipulating elder protocol Jews at that!
Oh too bad their shows always sell out arenas. Perform to empty crowds? You people live in your heads.
Imagine if these guys were white….
I don't have to imagine being white
