I understand the purpose of vulgarity in comedy routine. It puts the audience “on edge” which means that some may laugh nervously at a joke. Vulgarity in comedy is like a crutch: it’s something the comedian depends upon when the material can’t stand on its own.
I liked George Carlin’s humor because I like to play with words and his humor was based on word play. Then he got into gratuitous vulgarity and it ruined the jokes.
Nonetheless I do have one joke that demands the “F” word. Actually it is a real life experience.
My sister-in-law and brother-in-law have four daughters as the girls were growing up they taught them safe sex, especially the use of condoms. The girls are now all adults and on board with the use of condoms. Buying them, however, not so much. They help themselves to their parent’s stash.
I was there one day when my brother-in-law lamented, “Jesus, Mary and Joseph, they stole me F*ing rubbers!”
I responded, ’That’s the first time I’ve heard that adjective used properly."
I know someone who ended up with a free parrot, because he didn’t have a clean act. Which proved not to be popular in the Apartment complex he was originally housed.
If any of you readers would enjoy checking out some SFW, but HILARIOUS comedy acts, google DRYBAR on Youtube. You don’t have to be an old fart like me to LYAO! That said, cussin’ is mighty useful in certain situations…just sayin’.

Swearing, cussing, cursing…relieves tension and sometimes, no other words will fit the situation….

The parrots write scripts for Netflix and Amazon Prime?

Sadly, many comedians today believe that using profanity is the key to a comic routine. They should try using comedy instead…..

I have almost completely excised words more offensive than “@$$” from my functional vocabulary. But these days, it’s tempting to revert.
