Key and Peele say not making fun of certain things/people is "a form of bullying"

Key and Peele: Make Fun of Everything - TIME

Sure, sometimes at Key & Peele, we swim in the shallow waters of pratfalls, airplane observations and simple old-school punnery. But what we strive for–and what we think more people should strive for–is deeper: to make fun of everything.

It can be scary. We don’t want to lose our audience. Can we make them laugh at a sketch about slavery? Terrorism? The Holocaust?

At the same time, though, it’s our duty. To not make fun of something is, we believe, itself a form of bullying. When a humorist makes the conscious decision to exclude a group from derision, isn’t he or she implying that the members of that group are not capable of self-reflection? Or don’t possess the mental faculties to recognize the nuances of satire? A group that’s excluded never gets the opportunity to join in the greater human conversation.

fukk Key and Peele, but I do agree with them on that.
South Park had a good episode about what they are talking about when Comedy Central wouldn't allow them to show an image of Mohammad.
They were literally allowed to make fun of everything under the book except Muslims.

Probably talking about da jooze

And Jewish people. They're off limits too.

I think it's more of a thing that comedians have with censorship.
They hate the idea of anything being off limits in comedy.

But there's a fine line between comedy and being an insensitive a$$hole.
