Dear Mr. Lopez: I find ur comments in poor taste. I am a 54 year old adult with food allergies. I never asked for this life threatening condition. I fail to see the humor in your performance. You should perform 200 hours of community service on behalf of the food allergy community to reverse the damage ur performance caused. You should be ashamed of yourself! Anaphylaxis is no joking matter and your uneducated comments are despicable.

Please don't set the example that children with life threatening allergies lives don't matter. Food bullying is real. No one chooses to have these allergies.

I am highly offended by your use of my children's uncontrollable allergy to nuts in your comedy act. Disabilities of any matter should not be used in this manner. Death is not a laughing matter.
P. S. My children are Latinas.

So very insulting and enticing bullying over peanut allergies is unacceptable!! Sr. Lopez has no idea what families are going through! He needs to come out with a public apology and if not - HBO had better pull it or I'm canceling.

I'm the co-founder of Redsneakersforoakley and this type of humor is not acceptable . In fact George Lopez needs to apologize to Redsneakersforoakley too. We loss our 11 year old son OAKLEY DEBBS, I'm horrified HBO would air this I want an apology from the CEO of programming of HBO if I did not receive an apology for all the moms who deal with anaphylactic every day I think you are to resign as head programmer.

Having a peanut/tree nut allergy is not a joke and it's not funny. It's life threatening, just like your kidney disease was life threatening resulting in your kidney transplant. Anaphylaxis resulting from peanuts or tree nuts will potentially cause death and there is no transplant to save your life when it happens. Your comments were very insensitive and insulting to those living with nut allergies and the last thing we need is for people bullying and threatening our lives with foods that can kill us. Shame on you!

I watched the video, many people think exactly like that, and it legitimately makes me fear for my life.

My son has to wear a mask on airplanes so he doesn't die from some else eating peanuts, a food, you're being asked to give up a food on a flight for someone's life!

Mr. Lopez fame gives him a perfect plattform to raise awareness to important issues, like his own renal problems. He should graciously apologize for his comments.

Completely uncalled for, rude, and insensitive to the Food allergy community. My son is 2 with severe FA. I dont find this humorous at all.

Educate yourself, Mr. Lopez! A food allergy can develop at anytime and happen to anyone - baby, child, teen or an adult. Food allergies are life threatening. Sudden and deadly anaphylaxis is not funny!
