Immigrants from the former USSR have this “joke” they used to tell me:

Q: How did every joke in the Soviet Union start?

A: With a glance over your shoulder.

I’ll go out on a limb and assume that Mel voted every time for the party that’s made us so stupidly political correct.

I don’t think the Movies - Blazing Saddles or History of the World cannot be made today.

The Left has no sense of humor.

They cannot stand ridicule or satire.

They are not ‘funny’ people.........................

Yep. The irony is thick.

Ask why there is no college comedian circuit any more. Even the mildest off color joke brought out the woke snowflakes.

Even the most LIBERAL comics gave up.

Starting in 2016, ALL jokes could ONLY consist of “Orange Man Bad.” Now they consist of: nothing.

Well, there were actual American Democrats still alive back then - but they disappeared around the time Zell Miller left the scene.

I wonder had he lived, if even the most leftist comedian of them all, Bill Hicks, would make it.

Bydone is a comedian though. I laughed my ass off when he stumbled on the stairs going up to Air Force #2.

The Left’s ideology is based on lies, and thus makes them feel insecure.

Only a secure person can comfortably laugh at himself.

Completely agree. They are very bitter, angry people. If you dare cross them, their brows furrow and beady little eyes show the rage that lives within their dark spaces where a heart no longer resides. Frightening to behold.

Those on TV have mastered the showmanship (ahem, excuse me...showwomanship) art of faking a (somewhat) pleasant appearance.

Makes you wonder why Mel brooks has not apologized for all the racist n-words in Blazing Saddles.

He needs a good old $hakedown by the BLM crowd.

The vast overwhelming majority of today's comedians aren't funny and are die hard socialists. This is the environment they voted so they can go soak their heads.

Every week on SNL they trashed Gerald Ford for his clumsiness. Nothing but crickets for cadaver Joseph Stolen.
