They can be. I know of a few from Louis C.K. that made me laugh. Like, "You should never rape anyone. Unless you have a reason, like you want to f
uck someone and they won't let you. In which case, what other option do you have?"

2. Should the woman have made the comment she did?
|
I don't get why she did. I mean, it's her opinion and she's entitled to it, but I don't see why she had to blurt it out while he's in the middle of his routine.

3. Did Tosh's response make things worse, or was the damage done?
|
He may have made it worse for people who don't get comedy, or take things comedians say far too seriously, but they're always offended.

4. Is rape beyond the pale?
|
I don't think anything is in comedy. I find the more offensive it is, the funnier it is. That's why I love comedians like Anthony Jeselnik, and Ricky Gervais' performance at the Golden Globes. At least the first time around. The second time he seemed nicer.

5. Given Daniel Tosh's comedic style, should this have been expected?

Absolutely.
