Woke Comedy: Why Laughter Is Missing at the Multiplex

Hollywood In Toto ^ | 4/18/2018 | Christian Toto

The PC comedy rules are suffocating laughs on stages large and small.

That means we now have less freedom of speech than in 1976 - 1977.

There was one skit where Gilda Radner sings about her “f-—d up fans.” Yeah, things have changed.

You posted a monkey wearing pimp-ghetto pants.

Check your racist ass in at the nearest re-education camp.

I found season 9 to be cringe worthy in that it felt like Larry David had gotten lazy. It was a redux reheated leftovers with zero imagination, and the behaviors that made the characters interesting were embarrassingly exaggerated.

I know what you mean. It's like a few 13 year olds got together and after learning new "bad" words, and they want to use them as many times as they can in the first ten minutes.

Netflix has the new Lost in Space series playing now.

Maureen is a physicist. Of course she solves all the problems and the father is played off as an 'exotic grunt' of some sore, special opps meathead. One daughter (black by a previous marriage) is a physician at 21. Penny open defies her mom and comes off as a jerk, but evidently got good grades. Will so was mentally challenged that Maureen had to falsify his testing, so he could be approved to be included in the space evacuation of planet earth. None the less, he makes a number of great moves, that help out the family and the community at large. One wonders how, they trashed his character so much. Men dumb = women brilliant After dad being talked down to constantly by Maureen, the kids still think he's great and respect him. LOL You've got to ask yourself why. In real life, kids would generally shun the parent the smarter brilliant one put down all the time. Dad was away serving his country, and Maureen was supporting the family by filing for divorce. The writing doesn't even make sense. They have to play up Dr. Smith, being a bad person. So they go about doing it by having "her", yep he's a her now, undermine effort to get off the rapidly decaying planet they've landed on. You have to overlook a lot to like this trash.

I'm shocked that there's still episodes of Amos n Andy on You Tube. As well as cartoons like these. Imagine how the woke snowflakes would loose their collective sh!t over this stuff.

Damn straight. You could never make The Bob Newhart Show today. The mental health advocacy groups would be all over you.

After dad being talked down to and dismissively constantly by Maureen, the kids still think he's great and respect him. LOL You've got to ask yourself why. In real life, kids would generally shun the parent the smarter brilliant one put down all the time.

One plot line found the marooned Earth people executing a plan to salvage a full reserve tank of fuel. This would have gotten all 27 (possibly 37) people off planet back up to a mother ship.

During the trip back from picking up the fuel, the fuel truck turned over.

A friend of the 21 year old (daughter) doctor was pinned under the fuel tank. Moving the tank to pull him out would lose most of the fuel. They played it off as the only "right thing" to do. So they moved the truck and pulled him out. Doing so cost 83% of the fuel they were bringing back.

On the way back, the friend they rescued died anyway.

Nobody challenges her decision, that others backed. The one leader who had it right was played off as calloused.

Sacrificing everyone's lives, was deemed reasoned to save one very seriously injured individual, who then died.

I watched a You Tube the other day of What's Happening!

To Think! A bunch of old Jewish guys produced a TV show showing black folks shucking and jiving with their afros and funkadelic clothes.

 

I had to turn it off. My White Guilt was overcoming me.

Obama may have some humor, but anything remotely non-PC was verboten by his handlers.

You on the other hand, definitely have a sense of humor. That is the funniest homepage I’ve ever read. To wit:

“Here’s a photo of me and my three dogs.........well, I’m not smart enough to post photos so just pretend you see a photo of me with my three dogs.”

and

“I think I hold the record now on Free Republic for being called “fool”. I’ve tried to get the Moderators to ban my Mom for doing this, but I think they agree with her.”

Classic!

Is Robot gay?

[Simon Green]

Comedies have been almost entirely absent from the top 20 films of each year for at least the last decade.

[blueunicorn6]

Thank you.

I consider it a good day if I can make someone smile.

I consider it a great day if I can make someone laugh so hard that they pee their pants.

I have been watching LOST IN SPACE the new series as well. I am at Episode 5.

The only character I like, and the only one with any good lines, is the MONSTER ROBOT ENEMY turned FRIEND.

Trivia Question: In the original LOST IN SPACE TV show, how many times did the Robot say “DANGER WILL ROBINSON” ?

[UCANSEE2]

Have you ever watched the animated series ARCHER ?

Trying to read that diatribe about woke comedy nearly put me to sleep.

The problem is that Libs keep trying to redefine things in new terms they have created for defining those things. Then, they take offense at those who do not understand their plight.

That might be the unexpected positive side of political correctness: it gives critics a reason to attack trashy movies (that they would otherwise endorse because they have no taste).

I've seen all or part of many of these movies. They make me really feel solidarity with the folks who claim they've never seen a movie in decades.

"You have to overlook a lot to like this trash. "

I made it through 15 minutes of episode 1. Click.

Dr. Smith as a woman and not an old White guy?

That's something.

I'm sure that you noticed Maureen's strong aversion to weapons, too. Didn't surprise me one bit, given the other garbage that the screenwriters had wrought.
