    Joe Rogan would have you believe this “joke” goes down well in comedy clubs.

    But I’m not buying this: I get insult humor and I don’t mind getting insulted when it’s funny. But Hinchcliffe’s Puerto Rico thing is just a straight insult. I don’t find anything remotely funny in his “joke” at all. Do you? Is there any redeemable comedic value in it that I’m missing here? Honest question.

      I’m sorry but that joke was funny. Yes, I am fully aware of the colonial legacy of the US in PR and I don’t think any politician should be saying or endorsing it. It was wholly inappropriate for the venue and people involved.

      But it was totally in the vein of David Spade’s old Hollywood Minute and if it was said in a comedy club nobody would care

      I only wish someone would have made the joke about Israel instead
