Kimmel's Benoit Burn Too Hot for TV

61. Jimmy Kimmel is a disgusting, homophobic prick. He needs to be removed from the airwaves.

64. Why do they always ban the funniest jokes???
Thats right, it was a joke.
Also, it was a ROAST! Thats kinda the idea of a roast, be rough but funny. We need to allow humor to continue without everyone getting so offended. Otherwise we'll only have jokes that are lamer than FDR's legs.

65. It's funny that the world still makes jokes about OJ Simpson, who was ACQUITTED BY A JURY, about him being a supposed murderer, but Jimmy Kimmel can't make a joke about an actual murderer... a murderer who did not stand up like a man like OJ did and face a jury and his accusors??

F^&K Benoit! They should make his name a permanent joke, because that's what he was- a joke.

I hope you all find the inner strength to pull the sticks out of your asses....

67. Oh no, a comedian made a joke about one sack of s**t referencing another sack of s**t.
Big deal. To those pathetic individuals who are offended, guess what? No-one cares.

68. #61 Tony, I personally haven't heard of any comedians making jokes about
9/11, I've heard Al-Quada jokes, but none directly about 3000 plus people
dying in joke form, also were talking 6 years ago to last month, it's
called a timeframe. If 9/11 was last month would you laugh then, also
a Benoit fan since you were 10, what are you 11 now?
#63 If you think people who watch wrestling are tards, does that make you a douche for
using a comic hero name for posting?
Jimmy Kimmel is a class A loser.
Hey Jimmy, go have a few drinks and drive home.

69. first of all, comic view has ALOT of 9/11 jokes and YES some did it RIGHT AFTER 9/11 (like oct of that year) the thing you need to realize is people deal with tragedy diffrently for some its through humor and for THOSE people Jimmy makes jokes like that and if its not your cup of tea fine no ones forcing you to watch it simply TURN IT OFF.

Now your defending the "wrestling fan" against #63 yet saying I MUST be 11 since im a wrestling/Benoit fan? make up your mind

everyones tough behind a keyboard, I'll bet my life you would NOT tell me im acting 11 to my face, and you more then likely would NOT tell him hes a douche bag to his face, there should be a rule IF YOUR TOO MUCH OF A PU$$Y TO SAY IT TO SOMEONES FACE YOU SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SAY IT ON THE INTERNET

70. Idle threats Tony, I guess I had you pegged wrong, when I called you an 11yr old, I thought you were some kid making asinine comments, thanks for confirming your an adult, making asinine comments. Where exactly do I contradict myself, I refer to you as a child, because of your comments, not because of being a wrestling fan, if you actually read what I said, you'd see they are two different statements. Maybe if you didn't get all huffy you'd see that. Also proof read your own crap, I think in your last line you meant shouldn't as opposed to should, because "should" is what we're doing here.
You call me a pu$$y and tough guy, when your doing the same thing. Practice what you preach douche.
As for Jimmy Kimmel, if you've seen his act once, you've seen everything and trust me I do switch the channell when the jacka$$ is on, but thank you for letting me know I had the choice, wasn't quite sure about that. It's also good to know Jimmy isn't alone in the douche category, he needs company too. So why don't you join Jimmy for those drinks and you know, drive home.
Anyhow, thanks for the laugh, you made my day, say hi to your Mom.

71. I am absolutely sickened at the fact that comedians now adays have no respect for the dead or their families. Anyone that would make a joke about a man killing his child and wife should be stoned in the street.

72. MTV aired Kimmels joke along with Lampanelli's comment. Bridget Neilsen's attempt at humour was a laughless disaster.

73. Totally out of hand and insensitive. Chris benoit still has surviving children and i'm sure that they would like to put this behind them. Jimmy has always been stupid and Adam carried him when they were on the man show. I can't believe that anyone watches his show.

74. It's a joke. Lighten up.

75. This wasn't funny at all. That was a very tasteless joke.

Also, I read where somone saying (and I know this is off the subject a bit) that O.J. was a better dad because he went to trial like a man and was found not guilty! To that I say this, a murderer is a murderer! To even suggest that O.J. was better than Benoit because he didn't kill his kids and kill himself is a terrible double-standard.

In that respect, Flava Flav is better than either one of those men! True, he isn't much of a father BUT he didn't kill any of his kids NOR did he kill any of the mothers of these kids. In other words, Flava Flav is a dead-beat dad but he isn't a murderer (unlike O.J. and Benoit respectively).

Jimmy Kimmel should be ashamed of himself for even making that joke considering one of Chris' victims was his own 7 year old son (and even that is still debated because some suggested that the wife killed him). There is a limit to humor and Kimmel not only crossed the line, he obliterated the line!
