The week started with Kathy Griffin and a severed head, and ended with Bill Maher and a word too offensive to print. For comedians, what defines "too far" -- and, more importantly, the optics around it -- can land them in hot water or even end their careers.

Some might argue that going too far is what makes some comedians better, or funnier, than others.
