you’re redefining shock comedy. Shock comedy is NOT something from outside our mores, shock comedy is something from outside our normal interactions. It’s not necessarily something we don’t do, it’s something we don’t do IN PUBLIC. That’s where the nervous laughter of shock comedy comes from. The fart jokes in Canterbury Tales were shock humor, not because people didn’t fart, but because people didn’t acknowledge it happening.
No I’m not “redefining” it. I’m clarifying.
Part of the lie of leftist academe is that before the 1960’s people in western civ were very uptight, straight-laced, non-laughing purists. This was a lie. Fart jokes and other bodily-humor jokes were in fact very common. That is why it was not shock.
I illustrated the difference between low humor and shock as it is currently undertaken.
Go and see the movie. Pump some money into a leftist’s anti-American pockets, and laugh while our culture is knocked down again. I’m done with this discussion. There is a communist in the White House that I need to expose, whose goal I need to block. He is there in large part because of the same anti-establishment mentality that presents Cohen as some sort of “satirical” funny guy.
