Griffin Cracks Jokes About Streep & Short on Stage, Leaving the Crowd in Stitches
Remember that awkward moment when you're trying to be funny and you accidentally offend someone? Well, comedian Griffin, known for his quick wit and sometimes off-color humor, found himself in a similar situation recently. During a live performance, he took aim at none other than acting legends Meryl Streep and Martin Short, leaving the audience both in stitches and wondering if he had gone too far.
The whole thing started innocently enough. Griffin was reminiscing about a time he met Streep at a party. "She was just so down to earth," he said, "you'd never know she's a three-time Oscar winner." Then, with a sly grin, he added, "But she was wearing a really strange hat." The crowd roared with laughter, but then Griffin upped the ante by turning his attention to Short. "Martin, you know I'm a huge fan," he said, "but I've gotta say, your new movie was a real stinker." The audience gasped. Was he really dissing Short's latest project?
It turned out that Griffin's humor was as sharp as ever. He quickly explained that Short's movie was actually a heartwarming tale about a man who overcomes his fear of heights by climbing Mount Everest. The audience was relieved, and Griffin, true to form, continued his set with a string of jokes that were both hilarious and slightly subversive.
While some might argue that Griffin's jokes about Streep and Short were a bit too edgy, others found them to be refreshingly honest. The whole incident serves as a reminder that even the most famous actors are not immune to good-natured ribbing, and that sometimes, the best humor comes from unexpected places.
In the end, Griffin's performance left the audience laughing, thinking, and perhaps even a little bit bewildered. But hey, that's just the kind of comedian he is. He's not afraid to push the boundaries, and his fans love him for it.
