Ron White is a favorite of mine, with the Cable Guy not far behind.

“As a comedian, no one is off limits.”

So says comedian Dave Russo, who no doubt has quite the roster of Obama jokes after eight years./s

Never found SNL the least bit funny. Didn’t find it funny 40 years ago and still don’t. It’s crude and juvenile.

Joan Rivers tried to make a joke about Obola, and the Wookie(though some, myself included, would say she told the truth) and look what happened to her.

You don't remember all those elephant-ear jokes, choom jokes about smoke-filled limos and AF1, comparisons of BHO joints and Churchill cigars?

What about the WH fare under BHO, and school lunches?

I don't either.

Most of the good comedians have given up on doing shows on college campuses because of Political Correctness and obnoxious SJWs. Jerry Seinfeld and I think Chris Rock both fall into that category.

Trump jokes will work again if the clubs only admit Left wingers - of course them they won’t sell enough food and drinks to keep the doors open...

Last time I tried to look at SNL it was awful... crude.. wasn’t even funny at all.. they should cancel that show because it is nowhere near what it once was.. MSNBC has funnier skits on it’s daily programs than does SNL these days.. It really sux badly. Everyone in our house rejects it. Its sad.

LOL, reads like a Trump tweet. If you meant to do that, that was funny! If not, SNL Trump skits are pretty funny...and I supported him from June 16, 2015.

There are ways to tell Trump jokes, even to sensitive audiences, experts say.

There are joke telling "experts"? Really? What are their qualifications? A PhD in humor? Wow, Am I in the wrong field.

[ripnbang]

Belushi, Akroyd, Chase and Murray not funny? What DO you find funny?

[NormsRevenge]

Hey, they created the environment they now must deal with.. may starving comics learn.. it aint what you put in your mouth that nourishes your career,, its what comes out..

[lafroste]

I thought it was hysterically funny 40 years ago. Of course, I was in high school at the time.

[Neidermeyer]

Are they trying to tell us that when Obama was President they had no problem making jokes about him? Oh, sure!

They wanted to tell Obama jokes but there just wasn’t any material.

Comics shy away from Donald Trump jokes

I don’t seem to find any so-called comics funny these days. They can’t find any humor other then tearing somebody done or fill their monolog with four letters words. They should go back to the real comedians, Shelton, Hope, Caesar, and many others that found great humor in just day to day living and certainly without every cuss word in the book.

Most that call themselves comics are so filthy that there is no reason to listen to them.

As long as comics only perform in California and New York they’ll never know how much we hate them here in flyover...

Chris Villani should tell the comics to ‘go for it’... Their non-stop contempt for traditional Americans is a recruitment tool for us.
