You couldn't possibly be more wrong about Jeselnik or the style of black humor that he does so well.
This is boomer-tier missing the plot.
I have always found him to be obnoxious even at the height of his fame. It's bro "aren't I so edgy?" humor. Those kind of jokes just became boring for me after freshman year
I'm not missing the plot at all - I get what he's doing. I'm just not his target demographic because I matured past high school
I don't believe you.
If you had, you'd be able to recognize that his style of humor isn't yours and that's ok. You wouldn't think "man this guy must really be a Nazi."
Are you replying to the right person? My comment - that you replied to - said the following:
I'm not sure how you could have possibly read that and thought, "this guy thinks jezelnik is a Nazi!"
"I'm not saying it, but I sure am thinking it loudly."
Interpreting what I said to mean the exact opposite says a lot about you
"Telling Holocaust jokes is immature and douchey" doesn't mean "everyone who tells them is a Nazi"
Just like "furries are a weird subculture I don't want to associate with" doesn't mean "I think furries fuck dogs"
