When comedians play ***ual assault for laughs, the joke is often cringeworthy or deplorable.*
But the rare successful gag is equal parts satire and shock, like Amy Schumer (http://mashable.com/category/amy-schumer/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial)'s skit (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXGJGuH59qw) on military rape as imagined in a video game, or Hannibal Buress' standup (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzB8dTVALQI)*routine about *** assault allegations against*Bill Cosby (http://mashable.com/category/bill-cosby/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial).
