Arty Fletcher's Offensive Airplane Turban Joke Resurfaces
Arty Fletcher's 2012 special features a joke about a turban-wearing plane passenger that the hosts called out as culturally insensitive.
The hosts reviewed a clip from Arty Fletcher's special where he recounts an airplane encounter with a man wearing a turban. Fletcher tells the man to 'pull that diaper off your head' and physically holds him down, preventing him from using the bathroom. One host noted that Fletcher 'thought he was like the hero of this weird story where he just assumed that anyone with a different culture than his is bad.' The bit then awkwardly transitions into complaints about airlines charging for everything, including a dollar for a tissue. The hosts struggled to follow the logical connection between the culturally insensitive airplane material and the airline fee complaints, with one asking 'Did you guys understand that in transition at all?' and another responding 'Nope.'
