## Caption

If there was an effort to make stand-up comedy a bit more genteel a few years ago — with offensive words and phrases placed out of bounds — a second #Trump administration has emboldened more transgressive voices who are willing to wind it back to the days when it was fine to have a laugh at the expense of women, trans people, people of color and the mentally disabled.

#TonyHinchcliffe generated a wave of controversy at a pre-election Trump rally when he called Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage.” #ShaneGillis was fired by “SNL” when audio surfaced of his homophobic comments and his use of derogatory term for Chinese people. #MattRife drew heat for jokes in a Netflix special about domestic violence, quipping of a restaurant hostess, “If she could cook, she wouldn’t have that black eye.”
