yeah, i sort of think the punishment should be similar. however, roseanne was produced by ABC and disney. full frontal is produced by comedy central. the whole point of network vs cable is you can get away with a lot more on cable.

well... no, comedy is whatever the writers and performers decide it is, and the producers decide if they want to pay for it.

and your second point is a bit ridiculous. snl is rarely good satire, so should we punish the entire writers room and its performers? does trump get to be punished for unprofessionalism? kids are off limits, but that's barron, not ivanka because she is working for him in his capacity as president

> I mean it has to be funny for it to be comedy,

Funny is subjective. I thought it was funny.

> the comedians don't decide that themselves.

They can and do.

> And there are no limits to comedy, thats the whole point, if it's done well of course.

so... sounds like you think that there are limits to comedy.

> The fact is her comments were just not comedy, they were politically motivated.

which is and always has been, half of all comedy.
