Fox’s Greg Gutfield Makes AWESOME Homophobia Joke


Hey guys, take two guesses where Red Eye’s Greg Gutfield stands on the Prop 8 issue. While talking about the existence of aliens (and 9/11?), Gutfield smarmily announced yesterday morning:

“Look, I don’t dispute that aliens exist, but there are more urgent matters to deal with, other than wrinkly creatures with a knack for anal probing. But enough about Barney Frank…I couldn’t resist.”

Ha…ha? Because, you get it, Frank Barney is totes gay, and recently humiliated Fox pundit Bill O’Reilly. So that’s a joke. Get it??

* homophobic

I was coming in here half-expecting the guy to take a pot-shot at homophobes, not to join in.

Tbh, I had no clue who he was.

Oh course it was a bad joke…every homo knows that Frank gets the probing. He doesn’t do the probing.

I think the point was the sarcasm, folks. It’s not an awesome joke. It’s lame at best and hurtful at worst.

Humor? Anyone? Bueller? Activism? Oh, go back to your Morning Goods, oh ye of little minds.

Uh, duh, yes, the editor is obviously being sarcastic.

This is taken from Jossip’s site. Hate the message, but don’t shoot the messenger.

Yes, but there is a difference between being funny sarcastic and just plain daft. He doesn’t pull it off with flair so he should give it up.

It’s not that we missed the sarcasm, Paul. It’s that we didn’t think it very clever.

He outed himself on Huffington Post years ago. Gays making homophobic jokes?

Seriously this has got to be the most stupid show to ever grace the airwaves (irregardless what the guy said).

@Lost: You don’t have to read or comment here, y’know. Take it to another site if you so grievously disgruntled.

I’m a little tired (but unsurprised) at how every little sexual quip about a queer is “homophobic” these days. I’m pretty sure almost every reader here makes “gay” jokes themselves. If you can’t laugh at yourself, you’re a lost cause.

There IS something to be said about good wit, though, and that’s something woefully lacking lately.

@Darth Paul

If it were even just wit I would be fine with it however, it was lame. And I’ll continue to post.

Thank You Very Much.

the one good thing i ever saw on this show was the skinny flunky going to a gay bar and dancing with porn star spike.

@Rusty:

Anything even remotely intelligent or interesting you have to say has now and forever been made null and void by your use of “irregardless”.

Be gone.

I find the show funny…they make fun of everyone, which is the way comedy should be. Greg isn’t the funniest, but they certainly have some funny folks sitting in.
