Hasn't it been done to death by now?

BTW I wasn't saying the humour was of the same quality as Charlie Chaplin but just as Charles was not being a Nazi in The Great Dictator this guy isn't being a misogynist in this review.

 Chaplin used humor to ruthlessly skewer Naziism and intolerance.

This dude,  'I hate Star Wars and by the way, look, a woman being tortured in my basement. Isn't that funny?' He never even made a joke or a point, or a humorous observation. It was nothing but a cheap shock. I think humor and satire can make a lot of offensive stuff acceptable, but its not just that this dude isn't funny, it's that what he puts there isn't even trying.

Imagine if he said "I hate The Phantom Menace, and I'm molesting kids in my basement."
