Honest question cause I'm trying to think back and I can't really come up with anything that anyone would really consider "offensive" or harmful to a select group of people. Like the most egregious material I can come up with is like the baby selling crack bit from "Killin' 'Em Softly," or Wayne Brady choking a bitch lol and it's like ... I dunno, that's not really comparable to suicide jokes and gay jokes.

But I could certainly be forgetting a bunch of material from the show or his early standup so that's why I'm asking. Cause in my mind Dave's never been the type of comedian who had to resort to shock value or cheap gimmickry to get laughs.
