A joke about taking your adult children to a strip club is funny because of how weird it would be. Hart flubbed it by making his son's sexuality the punchline.

The original comment was talking about the openers for Kevin Hart, not Kevin Hart himself. So the punchline shouldn't have been made by Hart or about Hart's son.
