The AV Club’s Stand Down series, in which comedians tell stories of performances gone horribly awry which are then animated, is really great. The latest installment features Jen Kirkman telling a story of what sounds like the worst possible scenario: pissing off a sensitive/drunk crown on Long Island soon after 9/11 with a poorly conceived Vietnam joke. Everything turns out OK in the end (I guess?), but let that be a less to you standups: avoid Long Island at all costs.
