'Make sure the jokes you’re doing aren’t adding to the horrible shittiness of the world. People confuse the subject and the object of a joke. The subject can be anything as long as the object of your joke isn’t using your power to make someone else feel shittier.” Despite its audacity, its scatology, Black’s finely calibrated comedy never failed to abide by that dictum.' #BethanyBlack
