Is Tracy Morgan too raunchy or just not funny?

tracymorgan hip hop honors

I must be the only one who is not into Tracy Morgan. Sue me. I remember him a gazillion years ago when he was on “Uptown Comedy Club” in the 90′s and “Martin”. Years later, I still didn’t get into him when he was on “Saturday Night Live” and “30 Rock”.

It must really mess up someone’s ego when people walk out in the middle of their comedy routine. How much you want to bet that the people that walked out on him were  “melanin challenged” (hint, hint)? Hmmm…..

“The bawdy comedian packed the venerable performance venue with fans expecting his “30 Rock” character’s prime-time humor. But minutes after Morgan started his routine, many walked out in disgust.

It turns out that some New Yorkers really can’t take a joke — especially when it’s unspeakably filthy.

“People seemed to not be laughing at his jokes, but more because they were shocked and appalled with what was coming out of his mouth,” reports one audience member. Morgan talked trash about homosexuality (saying it’s “a choice,” which drew gasps), drugs, pornography and what he calls “politricks” — far edgier subjects than what his alter ego, Jordan, gets air time for.

“There was a continuous flow of people getting up and leaving throughout the show,” our spy reports, adding that many in the crowd clearly didn’t know what they were getting themselves into. Middle-aged women were the most flabbergasted when he started ­mimicking explicit sex acts on stage.

When Morgan found something shocking, he held onto it for minutes on end.” (source)

It also makes me wonder, if you lose an audience as an entertainer, a blogger, an actor, a rapper, or any occupation that requires being in the public eye, do you change your material? Or do you hope that your followers/fans are loyal to the very end?

I found Tracy Morgan funny as hell when he played “Hustle man” on Martin in the 90s. I also found him hilarious on Saturday Night Live, but I must say that he has always been raunchy when his routine isn’t on network television much like earlier comics like Richard Pryor & Eddie Murphy. Therefore I could understand why people left his show. The constituents were mostly people who watched “30 rock” or “Martin” I’m sure. People like myself who can take raunchy comedy as long as there’s truth in it would’ve probably loved Morgan’s show.
