Exaggeration in stand up comedy is a given. No one is saying that the words comedians say on stage should be taken as gospel truth.

….but an exaggeration is saying “I was struck by a flying projectile” when the truth is “a friend threw a pencil at me.” A LIE is saying “I spilled a mysterious white powder from an anonymous envelope onto my toddler and we rushed her to the ER because we thought it was anthrax” when literally none of that happened

#hasan minhaj #not that anyone asked for my two cents #and other people have made this point already I think #that awkward moment when your whole brand is speaking the truth but instead you make shit up that causes real people real harm #also ‘emotional truths’ is a buckwild phrase and I’m incorporating it into my everyday life #why was I late for work? there was a horrific car accident and there was anthrax all over the interstate. that’s my emotional truth
