When does a joke go too far? CAN comedy go too far? Many feel that some controversial comedians are also offensive comedians. Whether it’s Jimmy Kimmel making a joke about Flavor Flav’s parenting skills by comparing him to Chris Benoit, Kathy Griffin posing with a fake bloody Donald Trump head or Tracy Morgan talking about killing his son if he turned out gay, many feel these are jokes that were in bad taste. WatchMojo counts down ten comedians that went too far.

I love how Kathy Griffith is so low on the list. If any conservative "comedian" did that to Obama's head, that person would have committed suicide on their careers.
Also, WatchMojo, your choices on videos is getting lamer and lamer every day. You guys used to be good to watch.
Griffith dug her own grave, fucking idiot leftists.
I'd say Lena confessing to molesting her sister is far worse, but you do you, Mojo.
You know why white people feel like they can casually say the n word? It's because black people casually say it all the time.
or people today are just pussy
i don't understand USA and all the "nigger" drama. I mean if it is SO OFFENSIVE whay the black people can use it even in pop culture? wasn't a pejorative? their own use trivialize the word. Mexicans are not so dramatic with "wetbacks" or "frijolero". Grown up!! you live in the fuckin 1st world. You're happy. I live in a communist hell
This video… the people in it. what they are saying. I can't even watch the whole thing… Tasteless….
Either everything is ok, or nothing is ok.
there is no line
Or maybe…just maybe… people are becoming exceedingly sensitive constantly thinking words will actually hurt them as the grip their cunts and cry like babies. Fuck off
lol I'm a house nigger
i just watched anthony jeselnik's 'thoughts & prayers,' and after that, all of this seems a little tame. lol.
Lines don't exist in comedy
#1 Anthony Jeselnik, His show the Jeselnik offensive had The Shark Party episode that got him in trouble with Comedy Central.
Calling Kathy Griffon a comedian is a bit of an exaggeration…
This video proves that their is a fine line between comedy and controversy. These comedians didn't see that line. (Sigh)
Amy Schumer and Kathy Griffen are thrash and have never been funny
why is amy schumer ion this list? "comedians" that implies they were funny
Hey, George Carlin's speech was fucking magical.
Number 1 should be Amy Schumer face
So you decide to blur out a severed head of Donald Trump, but not anal sex?
I see nothing wrong with Bill Maher's comment. Its americas overly sensitive attitude towards white people saying this that is the problem here. if you want to make this word "go away", neither white nor black people should be allowed to say it, and we know that thats not the case. also the joke is pretty funny!
So many hurt feelings
Tracy Morgan and Kevin Hart are both trash. Don't know how they both still have a following.
Kathy Griffin isn't a comedian. Women can't be comedians because they aren't funny. They just rip off other people's jokes and star in rehashes of films pioneered by men.
there is no line for them to cross. comedy has no and should have no limit
Griffin should of Ben #1 on this list
Your list is EPIC FAIL!!!!! Your list is EPIC FAIL because your thumbnail is Cathy Griffin. Cathy Griffin did NOT cross the line. What Cathy griffin did was the most AMERICAN thing anybody could do.
 Fuck trump, fuck your list, and fuck you!
 I stop watching at 00:01.
Thumbs down.
Michael Richards' stunt wasn't comedy. It was an angry lash out at a heckler.
Can someone tell me if it's possible to have a successful comedian without being edgy?
people bitching about the kathy griffin/trump thing. GWAR killed trump first and long ago besides it wasn't that offensive
Regardless of your opinion, you should never hold a fake head of a president
If to r a comedian that's the fucking point. You get to close to the line or go over the line, depends on how your comedy is, if you want to stay on that side or once in a while step over it or stay away completely. People say liberals are babies. Yet a lot of republicans I have seen butt hurt over this? Yet I remember when I saw people make totally fucked up pictures of obamas being hung on a tree. Pick your battles. And be consistent if you're going to be ignorant about situations.
richards is a jew so call him KIKE BOY he ain't white
Russell brand may be an utter cunt but Andrew Sachs granddaughter was indeed a proper slag. No need to bring Sachs himself into it though.
If you're offended by a comedian, you should go kill yo self!!!
the only person that crossed the line on this list was cathy griffen. that was a threat and was violent. everything else was a joke. just edgy jokes and were all pretty damn funny
why do people.get so mad about the nword. I don't see white people mugging people when there called a cracker
don't comment on this only like or dislike
Daniel Tosh wasn't as bad Kath Griffin's joke
When they apologize is the only time they cross the line.
Every time I see 9/11 footage, I freak out a little inside.
Do Ryan Dunn jokes by all means but not while fucking steve-o is there
You guys really put Bill Maher Saying the n word over Kathy Griffin holding up a bloody head of The President? Fucking Cucknadians.
