Modern “humor” — all late night TV, SNL, comedians, etc:

“Comic:” Orange man bad
Audience: *raucous laughter*
“Comic:” Orange man bad
Audience: *laughter*
“Comic:” Orange man bad
Audience: *chuckles*
“Comic:” Orange man REALLY bad
Audience: *raucous laughter*
“Comic:” Orange man REALLY bad
Audience: *laughter*
“Comic:” Orange man REALLY bad
Audience: *chuckles*

If Seinfeld is not received on college campuses they are way worse than I thought.

Salena does it again. She and the Mark Rush fellow are dead right.

Some people don’t laugh anymore and they tell the rest of us that we can’t laugh anymore.

I for one refuse to listen to them.

Me and a bunch of guys got together last week and watched Die Hard. We laughed hard at the funny parts. Ho.....Ho.....Ho.

It was just a great evening.

A few years ago, I saw Dana Carvey at a private function. The audience was from all over the nation. It was the night before trump was inaugurated. His set was very political but very funny, similar to Carson where Manhattan, NY and Manhattan, KS both got the joke.

He wasn’t crude or biting, he was just flat out funny.

We need more of that.

In the 1980’s I had an elderly friend who was an old vaudeville comic. He was cracking jokes on his deathbed.

We need more Maury Amsterdam’s.

These days, it’s hard to find a good joke that does not “offend” a snowflake somewhere. So it’s best to tell no jokes at all, and just stick to Trump-bashing.

Many years ago, I was looking through a bargain bin at a book store, and I came across a book of ethnic humor. Since I’m of Hungarian descent, I searched for jokes about Hungarians. There was only one.

Q. How do you make an Hungarian omelet?
A. First, steal two eggs.

The last movie I remember really laughing all the way through was “Silver Streak” with Gene Wilders and Richard Pryor. 1976

Nothing funny can come out of Hollywood because Hollywood is filled with thin-skinned liberal haters...

Johnny Carson was funny.

His humor wasn’t based on how many times he could drop the “f” bomb, or how offensive and insulting he could be to half the nation.

I probably still watch Eddie Murphy’s “Delirious” in its’ entirety once a month, and it still makes me laugh as much now as it did then.

And Eddie couldn’t get away with half of that material today.

[Right Wing Assault]

Comedy is not allowed, since not everyone has a sense of humor. They will be unhappy when they can't get the joke. It is not fair that some have humor privilege.

And who could forget the Dean Martin roasts? Incredibly funny humor back when the country was racially integrated.

My favorite; Don Rickles, of course, here with Sammy Davis Jr...

late-night hosts almost have a political undertone

Written by someone afraid to come out and speak his mind.
There is no ‘almost,’ and the blatant leftism is not an undertone. If there is such a thing, it is an overtone.

I am not a hoity-toity, but obvious vulgar humor does not move me to laugh. If it must be vulgar, then I want some irony.

Blazing Saddles worked for me; Caddy Shack did not. (Similarly, I find Adam Sandler unfunny.)

The closest I have come to laughing out loud recently was while watching Game Night. It was at least somewhat humorous.
