Being a Critic of Denis Leary
Being a critic of a comedian such as, Denis Leary is an easy concept for one to conceive. These critics are people that believe he crosses the line into outrageousness. This causes him to be seen in two different perspectives. One is that people see his outrageousness and view his comedy as not funny, but out of hand. The other perspective is that people view him as not crossing the line but being himself. They believe that this is the selective trait that sets him apart from all other comedians. In their minds, this is what makes people laugh. I believe that many people have a valid argument when they say that Denis crosses the line with his comedy in his routine. Their opinion has some validation because of the things that he does on stage. During his act, Denis smokes a numerous amount of cigarettes and he is probably being criticized by non-smokers. By doing this, he is putting himself in a position where he can be criticized by viewers (non-smokers). This may cause these critics to dislike him and in turn his comedy.

I don't know that it isn't a valid assertion that he does cross the line and makes him not funny because some people can view it this way. This is their opinion and not mine. Outrage stifles comedy in the ways that I have wrote about, but only in some people's eyes. There are some people who believe that his outrageousness stifles the comedic portion of his routine and messes it up. Others think that he isn't too outrageous and that his routine is really hilarious. Outrage can stifle comedy in many other ways that I have not already written. Some of them are when a comedian becomes too outrageous during his routines and starts to talk about a person's race or sex. This can bring about many critics. If a comedian starts joking about a certain race, many people will be offended. If he starts to talk about women in a bad way, women will criticize him.
