It seems far too obvious to be real. Especially when he's acting like he's talking to a woman and says "You didn't even shave?" Then pans over and it's a dog. Or he seems like he's insulting someone for not communicating, and then it's a bollard.

I've always been of the belief that if you don't like a particular brand of comedy, don't watch it. Use the remote and change channels.
This applies here for me; I don't like his comedy so I don't watch it, but others might like it, so why should they not be allowed to do so.
IMO, there is far to much latitude given to so called "offended" people to dictate what others are allowed to enjoy.
Sod 'em I say!!

Well, I used Mein Kampf as an example because it is actually banned in some places. I believe that Miley Cyrus is also banned in the Dominican Republic from performing. And according to Cardiff University, praised in the comedians' letter because it has "stood up" against that sort of thing, has been...
...as Student Unions spend much of their time finding things to ban to prevent any corruption of the tiny malleable minds of its charges.

There does seem to be a great deal of condescension involved by those who are 'offended'. Do they think that it negatively influences them somehow to watch things they find offended? Or do they think that they are absolutely fine but they're trying to protect those that they view as less intellectually capable than they are?

Which is why the Daily Mail have an ongoing mission to seek out the naughtiest and smuttiest things they can find to be outraged about. I remember when they once sent one of their intrepid explorers to a suburban strip club to report on the kinds of sordid sins that the local residents can be tempted into handing over a few hundred pounds for.

Whose comedy appeal always escaped me. But the political climate of Thatcher's Britain may have had a lot to do with it, a time when anyone remotely left-wing had little else but satire to turn to.
You seem to have dropped the name of Jeremy Hardy out of the middle of that sentence.

The thing that strikes me most about that list of 44 "comedians" is that I only recognise around half a dozen of them, and then all females, which includes Jenny Éclair, a.k.a "the black hole where comedy dies." I say "comedians," because some are more comic actors than stand-ups.

If he's got an audience, I guess I have no problem with them wanting to see him. I don't see anything funny in him, but he's less offensive than Andrew Dice Clay (whose offense was thinking that the world was stupid enough to buy his routine), and while I had a one-man boycott of The Diceman, I think you just let these guys run their course. If he's got more than one joke (so far it's one joke, retold), he might survive.
Personally, I think he's thinking of stopping payments to his publicist. Doesn't need one, now. I'm pretty sure his popularity will shoot up. (We have at least ten potential fans in the "anything that pisses SJWs off is fine by me" camp.)

That's probably the dead-on, bang real reason right there.
He was a causality of that "pick up" bloke who was not allowed into the country. When he was denied permission it was as if "they" had to have a victim to maul and this non connected was an easy target.

I think the problem for the "comedians" is that he does have an audience.
Well, they went to university you know. They can do the same material as well as it will be "irony". With this Dapper Laughs character it looks like he might be plebeian enough to actually mean it.
This would be a good place for a quote from a warrior hero
If we don't believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don't believe in it at all- Noam Chomsky
If O'Reilly want's to play the warrior game all he has to do is wait for a tweet that says something like "go jump off a cliff" or "die in a fire" then spin it into a death threat, slam down that victim card then declare victory.
