Best of Anthony Jeselnik
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=reuJjGhgU_k&t=343s
This YouTube video is a compilation of Anthony Jeselnik's jokes. These jokes are coming from his two Netflix specials which I highly recommend to anyone who finds this comedy funny.
Anthony has made a name for himself with dark humor. He has the reputation for making fun of stuff that traditionally no one will make fun of. In this clip alone you see him joke about abortion and gun violence. He is a well respected comedian who does a lot for the community so people do not tend to mind his vulgar sense of humor.
You can tell in this video Anthony is a very good joke teller and has a very cocky attitude about himself. He talks down to everyone in the audience like they are worse than he is. He uses the superiority theory in his comedy like this to get away with these jokes. He kind of elevates himself above everyone else. In one of the specials he even calls out a load in the crowd for the way she laughs. He proceeds to ask what she does for a living. She replies and tells him she is handicapped and does not work. All he says is, "I knew it." Some of the times I laugh the hardest is when the camera pans over the audience and you can see the people who are entirely out of their comfort zone and not laughing because you can tell they did not really know what they were getting into. My favorite example of this from the clip is when he talks about getting beat by his dad over his report card. He then says he learned to just give the report card to his mom so, "She can take the hit." The women in the crowd look mortified as the men are laughing.
Another aspect of his humor is the incongruity in his jokes. Every joke takes a very unexpected turn. For example, when he talks about his family owning a gun to protect their five children, and then says they had to get rid of the gun to protect their four children. And he does not even stop there, he proceeds to talk about how good he was getting with the gun implying he killed one of his siblings. He will lead everyone to think they have figured out his comedy only to take an even darker and more twisted turn with his jokes.
Dark Humor is a tricky thing to be good at and to stay away from offending everyone. However, Anthony has made millions of dollars in the industry with visits on many late night shows, his own Netflix specials, and other shows he has aired.
If you like his comedy I urge you to follow him on twitter and watch his stuff either on Netflix or on Youtube.

He really tackles the important issues, like the fact that abortion is boring. Which is true, that's really the thing that no one talks about regarding "hot button issues." They aren't even that interesting.
