Chelsea Handler's New Gig: Bigot?

256. Here we go again. The newsmaker wanna-bes at TMZ are trying to cause problems for someone. Your probably at your desks right now saying "I hope we can ruin this ladies career with this story. Its not a story. Its a comedian joking around. I tell you what. When you start doing stories on minority comedians making fun of white people, then you can say something. Otherwise, drop it. This is ridiculus. You people at TMZ make a fortune out of degrading people who live in trailer parks with your generalizations of britney being trailers trash. So maybe you should look at yourselves you bunch of idiots.

257. Comedians try too hard to be funny sometimes. In this case, she made a bad joke. Calling an Asian guy "Vietcong" is similar to calling someone that looks German, a Nazi. True, race shouldn't be an issue but when you make an off the cuff remark that is offensive to some, at least take some responsibility. Especially when the said joke bombs. I'm all about people poking fun at other races including their own, but at least be intelligible about it. Smart humor beats ignorant crass humor any day.

258. If Jesus were here would he find anything funny about that segment? If Chelsea Handler would repent the Lord would show her his purpose and you know I bet it would be more rewarding than making fun of people for their ethnicity.

259. This is the same thing she does on her show and in her stand up day in and day out - the woman is being sarcastic. She is not making fun of "race". She is making fun of our preocupation with race and stereotypes.

260. SHE'S A COMEDIAN! All comedians, black, white, asian, mexican all make fun of eachother's races! Thats what they do! People taking it the wrong way should check out Mind of Mencia...IT'S THEIR JOB TO PICK ON EVERYONE!!! Have you noticed she is always picking on Jews! Its because SHE'S jewish! If she can make fun of herself then she should be able to make fun of other people too. Get over it!

261. That's how her jokes are. The point that she is saying that lets anyone that knows the way she jokes that she knows it's ignorant. That's the joke.

262. Estrella- I'll answer your question- racism is still a problem because someone told me that one day she wanted to be an audience member in Chelsea's show and was told by the producers "WE WANT TO HAVE ALL WHITE PEOPLE IN OUR AUDIENCE TODAY. NO BLACKS OR ANY OTHER COLOR". I BELIEVE THAT CHELSEA HATES BLACKS AND ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR.

263. Chelsea could call me a nasty fat pig and I would STILL laugh. She just hilarious! Her book is great. She's great. She's non-conformist and only those who conform to the world and its overly-conservative ways will NOT get her humor.

264. I THINK THIS BITCH THINKS SHE'S BETTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE...I WONDER IF SHE HAS A DEGREE AT ALL...TONS OF ASIAN AND BLACK PEOPLE ARE VERY WELL EDUCATED...THEY ARE PROFESSIONALS LIKE DOCTORS, NURSES, ENGINEERS, TEACHERS ETC....DOESN'T MEAN SHE LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY SHE'S SUPERIOR... CHELSEA, HAVE YOU GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE AT ALL OR EVEN HIGH SCHOOL?

265. First of all I cannot believe I have spent somuch time today on this TMZ Blog - although I do appreciate how they catch people more candidly than the rest of the media and do not dress things up. HOWEVER, If ANY white person makes any sort of joke, comment that MIGHT be offensive then everyone is all over them. If it was a black person or another asian person or hispanic it would be overlooked. This is a perfect example of theo ther blog I was reading about Rampage and his racial remarks about white people getting better care from 911 than other races. I mean seriously, what is happening here? Would everyone of all races, colors, religions and ethnic backgrounds jsut shut up and live your life? HOW did we become so sensitive to every little thing? WHY are we so obsessed with the celebrity world to begin with and what happened to our sense of humor, and when DID this society become a society of babies. Sure, there are inappropriate comments and situations, but who cares? You all who are calling her a bitch and other things are just as guilty of the nastiness that is driving this country and this planet into the toilet. You all should take notice of your words - bitch is universal and so is dumb and nasty and mean. Take note of your behavior and you will realize that you are part of the problem! Everyone needs to realize that this is not a world where everyone is entitled to just steam roll over anyone about anything. No race is better than the next. Get over yourselves and as sad as it is that I have spent WAY too much time on this site today, I cannot believe that you still think and feel that jumping all over white people for any little thing that might be perceived as racist is okay and yet Rampage is just joking. How can anyone tell? He can barely put two words together and annunciate them!
Just be thankful that you live in this country - think about it and maybe LEARN the history of our country and see how things used to be, even as recent as 10-15 years ago, when we ALL were not so volatile and hostile and overly-sensitive and so concerned with what everyone ELSE is doing or saying. Give this country another decade and we will all be barcoded and told what we can think. Get rid of your victim torch and go out and start taking responsibility for yourselves and not spending so much time trying to put other people down. These days it is so sad that if youa re white, christian, celebrate Christmas or are not considered a minority you no longer are welcome to be proud of who you are where you are from or your beliefs. This whole country is full of it. So sad, so sad, I cannot believe that people really want to come here from other countries...but soon enough we will all be living under a socialist regime and these blogs will not exist.
So do something valuable and try to keep hold of our country and be proud of it and everyone who is a part of it. Be accountable, don't be a baby.

266. By the way, how come Chris Rock never has any fall out? Half of his act is tearing "whitey" apart - but that is okay right - because he can. If you were actually in Africa and were forced to come here, then you should be angry - but somehow I doubt that peopel today were not, so move forward - every culture, race and religion has a story. I rarely see of or hear Jewish people marching in the streets or demanding that they be treated "first". And before you comment on Jewish people, I am one so stop right there. Morons.

267. Chelsea is THE funniest woman on television. She's as quick witted as they come, AND she's a total babe. Lighten up, people, it's JUST COMEDY. Watch or Tivo her show...there's a reason she's on EVERY NIGHT OF A THE WEEK. She's a star, and she's just beginning to climb.

269. Chelsea"SaddleBags"Handler seems to be trying to stir up controversy
and tries to emulate RosieO'Donnell. The difference is that Rosie is
funny. Chelsea is trying so hard to lash out at everything that she
thinks will get her popular. People should start taking serious pot
shots back at her so she can feel the pain. So here I go.......
Chelsea will do anything for admiration, agilation, attention, and
affirmation. Secondly, she is tow up from the flow up. Thirdly, I
don't particularly like to watch female comedians and hosts on t.v.
who look like they just woke up. She looks the same 24 hours a day,
7 days a week. Chelsea, put the cigarettes and alcohol away for they
are taking a toll on the bags under your eyes. Make-up for you has
not been invented yet.

270. Wooooww....it's like you are looking for racism to happen.

Everyone needs to take a deep breath and just lighten up. Learn to laugh at yourself. For thoes of you that said she cracks on other stereotypes but her own is wrong, she makes fun of her helf for being mormon and jewish alll the time.

Maybe these jokes from this video aren't that original but Chelseas material is always very fun and extremely witty.

Yall need to simmer down and just relax. Shes just making fun of the stereotypes you gave yourself in the first place.

CHELSEA RULES!
