On December 22nd -look, days have passed and it's still going strong-,

Iker Jiménez

started

Horizonte

, on

Cuatro

, with this phrase: "This is horizonte and we come here to learn. Since it's so delirious and so..., yes , so grotesque what happens in this blessed country that we love so much, well...

Well, we have to give a replacement

".

I don't know if the replacement that Iker Jiménez

proposed

at the start of the program is what finally happened.

It was like someone who goes for wool and comes out shorn

.

"A few weeks ago, the largest television archive in Europe,

RTVE

, offered us a series of great jags," he continued.

Gags from

Tuesday and Thirteen

, by

Josema Yuste

and

Millán Salcedo

, with which

Iker Jiménez

cried with laughter and with which everyone, at the time, when they were broadcast, probably did too.

Nobody denies that, nobody disputes it and nobody censors it

.

They are those gags of the "faggot from Spain", "my husband hits me" and many others.

Humor that, indeed, is not given today and few would think of giving it

.

Society evolves, although some do not want to see it.

No one says that those gags should be erased from our memory and from the historical humor of the duo.

They were gags from the Spain of the 80s, from the Spain of the 90s and not, of course, that

cannot be seen now with the eyes of then

.

But you have to understand why they don't look at each other with those eyes.

But that does not mean that the grotesque that Iker Jiménez was talking about at the beginning of

Horizonte

is not "this blessed country", but rather that

Josema Yuste

goes as a representative of that humor and regrets that today that humor of that time cannot be done .

Thank God that you can't because it means that some, the majority, have indeed evolved.

"There are guilds -yes, just like that, guild- currently with which you cannot do humor, it is very complicated. Before you could do it and nothing happened. Like

the black race

,

homosexuals

... You did humor in a white and nothing happened", released the comedian to complain about the current limits of humor.

And, of course, he has gotten involved.

The program was broadcast last Thursday and we are on the 26th and it is still kicking.

Perhaps it is due to the scarcity of news or, perhaps, because now this is no longer valid.

In fact,

Josema Yuste

has gotten into a garden for trying not to see clearly what she really thinks and believes.

He wanted to ally himself with what the

red line of humor has to be a humor that "does not offend or humiliate"

, but at the same time he could not help but stick his neck out and show his little leg.

The little leg is the one that, even appealing to the fact that humor has to evolve with society, humor experiences a censorship that has not been experienced for years.

Yes, you're right.

There is a containment, a self-censorship to which social networks have led, but above all

to which the advances of society have led

.

I insist, the gags of

Mars and Thirteen

that today would be impossible have to continue in our memory, but we must also understand that today, what then seemed not to offend or humiliate,

today does offend and today does humiliate

, because today those who He already humiliated those he offended, in addition to being aware, they are no longer silent about feeling offended and humiliated.

"Now it seems that you have to put obstacles to humor

," said Carmen Porter, not knowing that the obstacles were going to go through "the guilds."

"No one patted you on the back and told you 'don't do this',"

Josema Yuste

said at the time

.

"We were absolutely free and we only put on a red line.

You can make humor out of everything, but humor that is funny and doesn't offend or humiliate anyone

."

So far I highly doubt anyone disagrees.

In fact, there is a phrase that says that freedom of expression ends when it interferes with the right to honor.

Josema Yuste

's phrase

accepted the rule of law.

But then that side that he tried to hide under phrases made of, as they say, looks good, made its appearance.

"(...) The red line has now gone down six steps. Now I don't dedicate myself to humor but I do comedy theater and I try to make my gags fun, witty, horny..., but

I am very careful so that they don't offend because I know that there are guilds with which you cannot do humor

and before you could do it, and nothing happened, like with the black race, homosexuals...".

Josema Yuste

does not understand anything and will not understand anything because it is not a matter of now not being able to make humor about whites, blacks, homosexuals, fat, skinny, handsome or ugly.

Of course you can do humor, look at La que se avecina, what cannot be done is that this humor crosses the red lines that he himself had previously marked:

offense and humiliation

.

"I have seen gays call each other a faggot and nothing happens, but it should not occur to you."

the auction.

And where has Josema Yuste seen that happen?

In front of millions of viewers or in privacy?

It is to understand absolutely nothing at all.

Well yes, he did understand that his reference was going to provoke a wave of reactions and so he decided to blame the many red lines that there are now with humor, which are still the same as those that existed, but adapted to reflect the society that exists. now, that it was time to pull the easy, politicians and social networks:

"People have not worsened, politics has worsened, which is what has made everything a conflict

. "

As if we couldn't think for ourselves, as if we couldn't realize that telling a "faggot" joke or making a joke about the mistreatment of a woman is now not liked or funny because now the values ​​of society have changed and because

what used to be forced silences are now no longer so

.

And then when he has already entered the puddle, when he knows that what he did not want to be seen ended up coming out because it is very difficult to hide what one really thinks, then it is when the time comes to

hide behind what the one who always hides behind He wants to defend the indefensible

: in the harassment and the damage that social networks do.

Anyway... it's so predictable.

"Before, what will they say was the neighbor, a cousin of yours, a brother-in-law... And it did not reach you because there were no social networks. People lived in a healthier, less contaminated way. We are very contaminated by the opinion of others and very mediated".

Well yes, social networks have a great danger that makes you find out everything and also that everyone can crush whoever they consider.

Yes, and it has happened to him.

He released the "guilds" and the networks gave him the answer

.

Surely 30 years ago he would never have found out, although it seems that he still doesn't find out, why there is humor that today does offend and why there is humor that can now be said to 'offend'.
